"Miss, please think about it again." The old butler stood behind the sofa and asked respectfully.

Ophelia gently lowered the delicate white porcelain teacup, the rich black tea steaming hot, the crimson tea rippling slightly because of the shock.

"No, I'll stay here." Ophelia said lightly.

"However, this beast tide will be infested by the beast king." The old butler's silver-white eyebrows were almost twisted together, and the expression on his face was a little more worried and solemn because of Ophelia's words.

That's the Beastmaster! Not to mention the strength of their individual strength, just the fact that they can command the overwhelming group of demonic beasts is far from being comparable to the ordinary beast tide.

Even if there is no army of demonic beasts that cannot be killed like locusts, their individual strength is not something that ordinary people can surpass.

Beastmaster = Platinum.

This is the common knowledge of the Aramans, and their strength is at the top of the Monster Strength Pyramid! The only ones who can compete with it are the platinum level, who is also the pinnacle of human strength, and the great mage who has stepped into the forbidden spell realm.

But even the peak combat power of human beings is difficult to gain benefits in the face of a beast king who has a fur that is difficult for ordinary swords to penetrate, and whose physical strength and vitality far surpass his own. Perhaps only a number of Platinums will be able to cut off the heads of these monsters.

But how many platinums are there in the whole world? There is only one platinum and one archmage in the Principality of Galea, and there are only four of Slyre, and some other countries and races are probably only one or even none!

And the known beast king in the Anglis Mountains has five bodies, and this is not counting the unknown...

More than ten years ago, Galea, the Elves, and Slael tried to unite to wipe out the Beastmaster who lived deep in Anglis. However, the large-scale operation not only failed to kill the One Beastmaster, but also lost two platinum-level combat powers, and buried the lives of a large number of troops, mages, and adventurers.

The fear of being killed at the platinum level was deeply engraved in everyone's hearts. Looking at the deep mountain forest, they finally chose to give up. The Five-Body Beast King was discovered at that time, and they still live in the depths of Anglis, like an infinite cloud hanging over the hearts of all those who enter this mountain range, making people tremble.

This is also the reason why the old butler is so worried. Although Ophelia is a rare genius, her strength is only silver now, and her magic level has only reached the middle level. At this age, no one can doubt her future achievements. But before that, it was just a seedling that had just sprouted, and it took time to precipitate before it would grow into a towering tree, fearless of wind and rain.

"It's dangerous."

"How can you call it an experience if it's not dangerous?"

"But this time it's more dangerous than you can handle."

Both of them fell silent, and the old butler waited quietly for his young lady's reply.

"I'm not leaving." Ophelia broke the silence.

"Why?" The old butler took a deep breath, it was beyond his duty. As a servant, he can make suggestions, but he should not ask his master for reasons.

"It's going to be fine here. Because of him. As if understanding that her butler didn't know who she was talking about, Ophelia added: "Lu Kaifeng." ”

Hearing this, the old butler's eyebrows tightened. In his opinion, Lu Kaifeng is indeed a rare genius, and his strength is very strong, he has reached the Mithril level at a young age, and he may be able to step into platinum in the future. But that's also in the future, and the Beastmaster will be here in a few days. In front of the Beastmaster, a Mithril is far from enough.

"The subordinates believe that His Excellency Lu Kaifeng is indeed young and promising, and it is very likely that he will step into the platinum field in the future and stand at the top of the world. But now, his subordinates do not think that His Excellency Lu Kaifeng's current strength can resolve the crisis facing Contesino. After a pause, the old butler continued: "Please don't be willful, there is still something wrong with you, Grand Duke..."

"Needless to say, I'm sure my father will support me." Interrupting the old butler's persuasion, Ophelia picked up her teacup.

"Ugh."

Seeing this, the old butler stopped persuading and sighed deeply.

...

Conteseno, wagons crammed with supplies, headed north. People can be seen in a panic on the streets, carrying hastily packed salutes on their backs, leaving Contesino with children of unknown origin. Except for a few shops that are still open, the doors are closed, and the owner has left at some point. At the north gate, the soldiers organized a panicked crowd to avoid accidents.

They were taking refuge, and the reason for this was a notice that appeared on the bulletin board two days ago, which foretold the imminent massive beast tide, and the very possibility of the appearance of the Beastmaster.

Beastmaster!

Those who live in Conteseno certainly know what these two words mean, they are synonymous with calamity, and many cities in history have been destroyed by the Beastmaster. The inhabitants of Conteseno have heard the older generation of residents look back with emotion, the attack of the Beastmaster, and the fall of Conteseno; Or from the crazy words of an old drunkard, piece together the scene where a certain platinum was torn apart by the Beastmaster when the Three Kingdoms purged Angelis.

Escape! Get out of here!

This was people's first reaction after reading the announcement, and they still remembered the rickety figure of the old man who was still trembling when he looked back, and the deep fear in the eyes of the drunkard when he was talking nonsense.

In just three days, Contesino was mostly empty, and the rest were crowded at the north gate. This is good news for thieves, but no one is stupid enough to waste time for the little wealth of the commoners, because this evening Contesino will close the gates. At that time, the twenty-meter wall will isolate their hope of life in this cold fortress, and then be torn apart by the demonic beast.

...

Orambet opened his eyes, looked at the setting sun, and asked in a deep voice, "How is the retreat of the residents?" ”

"It's basically done, and the rest are adventurers, magicians from the Magic Association, soldiers, and some ordinary people who don't want to leave." On the side, the captain of the guard, Macquarie, reported that he was also Orambet's lieutenant, and that reporting was one of his jobs.

"When will the beast tide arrive?"

"Expected in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

"How are the others preparing?"

"Everything is in place. In addition, the lord is arriving from Galingbon and is expected to arrive tomorrow night. ”

Hearing this, Olambet's heart couldn't help but settle down. Watching the afterglow of the west, Olambet's fingers tapped rhythmically on his desk until the ray of sunlight completely disappeared into the sky.

"Close the gates."

"Yes!"

...
