Boss Wren's face was serious, and he told this story that his family regarded as a secret history.

When I was done, I asked him, "As far as you know, how many people besides you know about Dirij?" ”

Boss Wren shook his head and said, "No more, the descendants of several other families have been killed by the Carter family." ”

I snorted coldly and said, "I didn't expect that the Carter family's wanton oppression of the descendants of legendary heroes would have unexpected gains. ”

Immediately, I sighed lightly and said, "But on the other hand, these people who were killed must have been handsome men with extraordinary strength, otherwise the Carter family would not have easily raised the butcher's knife." ”

"It's indeed Junjie," Boss Wren said, "One of them was my childhood friend, who was only a teenager and had reached an exaggerated thirteenth level, but unfortunately he was assassinated by someone sent by the previous city lord before he could grow up." ”

"Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, not to mention that he is still a descendant of legendary heroes, and he will be regarded as a thorn in the side of the Carter family, and this young handsome man is definitely not the type who will be manipulated at will, since he refuses to obey the orders of the Carter family, he will only be stifled."

Boss Wren sighed deeply and didn't say anything more.

After that, we searched for a family in the slums, begged for water, got something to eat, and before leaving, gave the hostess a gold coin as a reward.

It was only a gold coin, but the hostess was stunned, staring at the gold coin in her palm, not knowing whether to take it back or hand it back.

Looking at her sluggish expression, I smiled slightly, took Boss Wren, and walked directly out of this street.

Barely fed and fed, we wandered the streets of the slums.

On the street, there are many children, barefoot, running around the street, and from time to time there is a burst of crisp laughter.

Following the ragged but smiling children, Boss Rennes, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "In the slums, the children of the vast majority of families are unlucky, but they are also lucky. ”

"Lucky?" I wondered, "Where are you lucky?" ”

"They will not be persecuted by the powerful because of their status, and the vast majority of children can grow up healthy."

"But when they grow up, they have to face the most serious problems," I said lightly: "With no identity, no background, and no strength, they can only do the hardest work and earn the most meager salary." ”

"It's also a way to survive," said Boss Rennes, "at least they can keep their bloodline going." ”

Looking at him in surprise, I nodded and agreed, "If you look at it from this point, you are right. ”

It was getting dark, and it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

We arrived at the predetermined location and met with the descendants of the legendary heroes.

This time, there were hundreds of people.

In the dim night, hundreds of people gathered in one place were like a black and oppressive river tide, which made people feel slightly suffocated.

The twenty or so people who had met with me before were the first to stand in front of me, and one of them said, "The descendants of the legendary heroes of the capital of Eri City have all arrived, and they are at your command. ”

I raised my eyes and glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "My name is An Xiaoyi, I am the prime minister of Dasai City, and I have come this time to bring you back to Dasai City on the order of the Orc King, and give you everything you deserve." ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and hundreds of people were talking like a swarm of insects.

After calming down, I continued: "I think everyone has heard a little about His Majesty's intentions, but I still want to emphasize again, the reason why Your Majesty did this is because he is grateful for the fearless sacrifice of your ancestors, and thinks that the children of heroes should not suffer this calamity, and he wants to give you the honor of the family again, so that the light of your ancestors will shine on the Zephyr Continent again!" ”

"Thank you for the gift of His Majesty the Orc King" Boss Wren raised his arms and shouted, "Long live Your Majesty!" ”

The excitement instantly spread to everyone present, and hundreds of people shouted excitedly, shocking many residents to secretly open doors and windows to watch.

I hurriedly raised my hands and signaled for everyone to be quiet.

I then told the two dozen delegates about my plan to leave in a magic airship.

The delegates agreed, and they were all eager to leave this painful place as soon as possible.

Just as we were about to make a detour to the Magic Airship base, someone behind us suddenly shouted, "Look, ahead, there's a light!" ”

I immediately stopped and stared, and sure enough, there were dozens of faint lights on the street less than a hundred meters ahead.

These rays of light may seem faint, but they are very warm, and if I am right, they must be the glow of the Philosopher's Stone, but they have been specially treated to obscure most of the light, making it appear faint.

Those who can afford this type of magic stone must not be a poor person.

Maybe these lampbearers are the adventurer army sent by the Carter family to exterminate us!

"Boss Wren," I snorted, "You can help me see how many people are near the lights?" ”

"Yes," Boss Wren replied and walked away quickly.

His figure quickly disappeared into the darkness of the night, and no trace could be found.

I nervously waited for the return of Boss Wren's father, and at this moment, a strong uneasiness suddenly came, I subconsciously took a step forward, turned around sharply, and saw a representative who was closer to me, his arm suddenly stretched forward, and there was a sharp short sword in his palm.

Although I knew that I might be betrayed, I still felt very angry when the betrayal really befell me.

Instead of drawing my sword, I asked him, "Why did you do this?" ”

The man didn't answer my question, but turned his wrist and stabbed at one of the people next to him.

Seeing this scene, I instantly burst out, and the killing intent was permeated, wrapping the entire gauntlet, leaning forward, and grabbing the short sword fiercely.

However, at this moment, I saw a smiling face full of coldness, and it was the representative who was about to be stabbed.

My heart suddenly cooled: "Oops, I've been tricked!" ”

It was too late, it was too soon, and without hesitation, the representative in front of me stretched out an equally sharp short sword from his sleeve and stabbed me in the throat.

This dagger came so fast, I couldn't avoid it!

My pupils shrank, I froze in despair, and I watched the dagger get closer and closer, even against my throat, piercing my skin, and in the next second, it could pierce my throat.

At this critical moment, one of the representatives closest to us suddenly shouted violently, and his whole body was full of white light, and his hair was all open, like a lion!

This loud shout not only shook my ears buzzing, but also shocked the representative who was about to succeed in the murder, trembling all over his body and froze on the spot.
