Chapter 11: Is the Black Dragon a Harbinger of End?
One afternoon, many years ago, something similar seemed to have happened, Herman was so hungry that he stole half a piece of black bread and was beaten up and cried in the alley on the corner.
In the same way, Lily handed him a handkerchief, wiped away his tears, and took out a cookie from the dirty little cloth bag, licked her lips and broke half of it for him.
"Don't cry, boys"
The half of the biscuit that Lily gave him was the sweetest taste he could ever remember from his childhood.
……
When I looked up, I saw the appearance of a few people, and it was a pretty red-haired girl who wiped away his tears, with an indescribable nobility, and a giant man with a tower-like figure behind him, and a person standing not far away with his whole body hidden in a cloak like a stalking, it was really a strange combination.
The leader had short brown hair and an ordinary face everywhere, but his next words had a magic that could not be questioned.
"Young man, do you crave power?"
………
After this day, there was less crying rich young master Herman in the Xiamin District, and there was more Sheriff Leif, who was ruthless to the snakehead, and accurately eradicated all kinds of black ditch forces in the Xiamin District with vigorous and resolute iron-fisted means.
Many years later, the mere mention of the iron-fisted Herman made the evil forces of the Iron Nation fearful, but of course that's a story for later.
After signing the contract, which looked suspicious at all times, Herman met Lily and the other companions who had been taken away in the afternoon.
Only then did he know that it was the new lord of Snowy City, Leoclough, who had saved him, and that the red-haired girl who wiped away his tears was none other than the Red Rose of the Empire, His Highness Fran.
……
The secretary of the interior, the sheriff of Mufeng, the sheriff Herman, and the financial supervisor of Gil, and Lac, who was assigned to the stonemasons association to do odd jobs a few years ago because of his disobedience to the Dior family's arrangement, as a construction officer.
The new four systems, which are entirely composed of young people under the age of 20, have redivided the existing powers of Snowdrifter City, and Leo wants to do more than eradicate the residual poison of the family. It is also to give this big city a new future.
It doesn't matter if the four of them are still young, what Leo wants is young people, although they are still very immature, but while the concept is not yet finalized, hurry up to popularize modern education for these four people, and they will be the four pillars of Drifting Snow City in the future.
…….
"There are actually five of the Four Heavenly Kings!" ╭(・ㅂ・)و̑̑
"Huh?"
"Nothing...."
Leo, who went to the lower area to touch the fish by excavating talents, will not be reduced because he is not there.
……..
On the snowfield hundreds of miles away from Drifting Snow City, a group of people marched slowly and hard, and the young man led by him looked at the map and silently drew an unknown number of forks.
"This road will not work, and the bottom will go deeper into the snow line"
The companion frowned, still close to the snow line? In the past two days, a lot of equipment has been dropped for speed, and some people have already suffered frostbite, how many people can survive in this team if they continue?
The young man shook his head and sighed, as if he had read what the other was thinking
"No way, the knights of the Iron Country are biting like dogs, and I don't know where they realized about our existence"
As he spoke, he fell into deep thought, who is that new lord? Although the four great families are real rice buckets, this kind of resolute and resolute means ......... Or was it the calculating Iron King?
The closer you get to the snow line, the more intense the wind and snow become, the visibility decreases, the temperature drops, and the people in it are tormented all the time.
If you don't camp here today, there are still some ignitions left, and it shouldn't be easy to find out if you take materials from the spot with such a heavy snow and fire........ suddenly
The young man's chest throbbed, what was it like, his body trembling instinctively, the creature was afraid of the instincts of higher life.
Suddenly raised his head, a huge black shadow passed quickly, everyone was blown by the air current, and only the young man got up and stared at the direction where the black shadow was gone.
"Dragon......... Black Dragon..."
……..
"Three-garden system?"
Mu Feng and the other four people have been taking turns to assist Leo in handling government affairs for the past two days, saying that it is just a help, Leo's thinking is really incomprehensible to people in this world, and the main purpose is to listen to O'Li's lectures.
"Yes, long-term cultivation will deplete the nutrients of the land and cause a reduction in yield, so here we use a three-nursery system, and each plot of land is cultivated for two years and fallow for one year."
"Sounds a little similar to the rotation?"
Leo stopped the seal and began to draw something on another piece of paper, but did not stop to explain.
"It's pretty much the same, but in the third season the grass is planted in reverse, the addition of grass saves a lot of fodder, and the increased manure can be used to maintain the fallow fields, and most importantly, the pasture..."
"It doesn't take too many people to take care of it!"
"Not bad"
Leo nodded secretly, worthy of being the only son of a merchant family, the head of the Brown family is himself a very business-minded person, and his son is also very good at learning this aspect.
"Alright..... you put this picture down and let the people and caravans keep an eye out for this plant"
With prismatic leaves and lumpy bulbs, it is naturally a potato.
"Poof.."
Fran glanced at it and laughed directly, although she didn't know what kind of plant Leo was drawing, but the crooked lines all showed Leo's "amazing" workmanship.
"Is it really ugly....?"
Leo turned his gaze to Mu Feng, but the other party avoided his gaze, and the corners of his mouth were trying not to bend upward.
"Ah.....h
In the end, he hired an artist, and at the same time, it shattered Leo's dream of being a cartoonist.
……..
In the Iron King's City, although it was already late at night, Lance still came to the king's throne in the dust, with an unprecedented solemnity on his face.
"I'm sorry Your Majesty, I disappointed your expectations and didn't catch the hidden stake planted in Drifting Snow City"
The Iron King shook his head and stretched out his hand to signal Lance not to care
"It's okay, their plot in Drifting Snow City has failed, and you did see that?"
Lance could only nod heavily.
"Yes....... it's a dragon......... The Black Dragon of the End"
The moment he saw the huge creature, Lance decisively gave up the tracking mission and brought the news back to the royal capital without stopping.
The Dwarven King was silent for a long time, and knocked on the table three times.
"Shadow Guard, copy this message to the messengers of each country in ciphertext"
"Yes"
It was already late at night, and Lance, who pushed the door out, looked at the king's back and couldn't help but ask questions.
"Your Majesty, is he really the one who was called?"
"He has to be ......."
The rest of the words were not uttered by the king, but Lance understood that he had to be, so let's wait and see, the wisdom of the prophecy that is different from this world.
