The Yorkhan commander led the army and left under our watchful eye.

Although it is not a good gathering or dispersal, at least the two sides did not make a feud because of this.

When we turned back to Skarza's remains, all we saw was a large, twisted skeleton.

Captain Steelhammer was excited, clamoring to dedicate the bones to his two monarchs.

President Olli pursed his lips and acquiesced in Steelhammer's idea with a look of disgust.

I whispered Godot if he wanted to bury it, after all, it was his brother's remains.

Godot shook his head, broke off the smallest and most brittle bone fork from the end of the skeleton, walked back to the place where he had fought with Skaza, dug a pit, buried the bone fragments, and then laid the ground, put a few more stones on it, muttered to himself for a while, and then got up, patted the dirt on his hands, and returned to the group.

After walking for about two hours, we joined up with the second army led by the old duke, which was much larger, estimated at no less than 400,000.

The old duke was also very happy to see that we had returned safely, and after hugging me, the old man began to inquire about the details of the war, and I explained everything in detail.

After hearing this, the old duke's expression was slightly abrupt, a little, he exhaled lightly, and said: "This trip is really dangerous and inexplicable, there are no casualties, it can be regarded as a blessing, and when I go back, I will come to my house first, have a drink, and then make plans after other things." ”

The old duke's order could not be done, a group of troops returned to the frontier town, and after giving the adventurers to the expedition one by one, the old duke declined the invitation of the city lord, led us and others, and returned to the capital Dasai City.

I just returned home here, and the wine banquet over there has been completed, with delicious wine, delicacies from the mountains and seas, everything.

After the hostess, Barbara, Florence and other family members were brought in, the banquet began.

The banquet lasted from the afternoon until dawn.

After I and a few sober fellows, including President Olli and Chairman Hammer, arranged our family one by one, we went to the old duke's office with the two presidents.

The old duke sat upright on the Taishi's chair, his eyes shining, and he was not drunk.

Seeing that he was so energetic, I couldn't help laughing and said: "Either the old duke's sword is not old, and the wine he drank at the banquet was more than the one we all had together, not only did he not have the slightest drunkenness, but he was even more energetic than me, which is really admirable!" ”

"Okay, don't make fun of me, you kid" The old duke smiled and said, "You don't know, old man, I only drank less than ten glasses of wine in total, and the rest is water, how can water be intoxicating, it will only make people urinate a lot." ”

After making a few jokes with each other and enlivening up the atmosphere, we began to get to the point.

"Carter Houghton, this little fellow seems to really hate you," the old duke chuckled, "but it seems that you have scared him so much that he does not even dare to send troops himself, but wants to borrow a knife to kill people, and assign the army of Yorkham to take care of his own affairs, if this matter is publicized, I am afraid that it will make him angry to vomit blood." ”

"Aren't all insidious guys like this," I pouted, "I won't do it myself unless I have to." ”

"You still know too little about this little guy Holden" The old duke shook his head and said: "He is a very courageous person, and he will never take care of things that he generally does not value, but once he attaches importance to something, he will inevitably take action in person, and he will never stop until he is satisfied, but this time to exterminate your army, it turned out to be Yorkhan, it can be imagined, how much effort and how much favor Horton put in to get rid of you, and it can be seen that he hates you to the core, and has lingering palpitations." ”

"You say that I am hated by him, which is understandable, after all, I threatened him, but you said that he has lingering feelings for me, which I don't approve, if he is really so afraid of me, I am afraid that when I am in the territory of Ari City, I will be killed by him in every possible way."

"That's a mistake," said President Ollie, interjecting, "Do you really think that he didn't have the intention of killing you, if we hadn't marched straight into the city at that time, I'm afraid you would have been either killed or placed under house arrest by now." ”

As he spoke, President Olli sighed lightly and said, "You kid is too naïve, you don't know how much energy you have, you can say that you are sitting on a mountain of gold and crying poor." ”

"My energy?" Scratching my head and thinking for a while, I said, "I only have two guilds, four intelligence departments and one jewelry store, and this is already all my belongings. ”

"So, you don't know yourself at all," President Olli shook his head and laughed, "You don't know what kind of wave you can set off in the Zephyr Continent......

"Alright, let's stop this topic for now," said the old duke, "let's get down to business, President Hammer?" ”

"Ah, I'm listening, what does the old duke command?" The Hammer Leader raised his head sharply, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and shouted.

"Ahem" The old duke coughed twice, hiding the urge to laugh, and continued: "How did you feel after fighting that dragon?" ”

"That's not a dragon at all!" The Steelhammer Chairman said disdainfully: "It's simply a monster that looks like a dragon, whether in terms of physical fitness or dragon breath, it can't be compared at all!" ”

"Actually, it's not that bad," President Olli added, "at best, it's about the same as a baby dragon." ”

The old duke nodded, turned to me, and said, "Xiao Yi, tell me again about the origin of that dragon." ”

"It was mutated after the death of some adventurer," I said, "and I don't know the exact reason for the mutation." ”

"Can you describe the process by which it mutated?" The old duke asked again.

I repeated what I had seen at the time, and at the end I added, "There was also an adventurer's corpse mutated before, but the result of the mutation was not a dragon, but a slow-moving walking corpse, which looked quite bloodthirsty, and did not distinguish between friend and foe, and attacked whoever came close to it." ”

The old duke nodded, he pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "These two mutations are probably not caused by natural phenomena, but someone has experimented with them to create such two monsters." ”

"Experiments?" I was stunned and said, "I heard that Carter Scott, the son of Carter Horton, is studying some experiments, and I don't know what the specific experiments are." ”

"Hmm......" the old duke and President Ollie each frowned in thought.

The Hammer Boss said in a loud voice: "The two mutated guys are adventurers in York, and the Yorkham City Lord has an ambiguous relationship with the City Lord of Eri City, so there must be something unknown hidden in this, maybe those two guys are Carter Scott's test subjects!" ”
