Chapter 90: The Demon King and the Lurking Conspiracy
The kingdom of Palomia was traditionally a feudal state, in which the nobility gained the allegiance of the powerful by dividing the lower nobles – as was the case hundreds of years ago.
The kingdom of Palomia is old, and as an ancient kingdom, hundreds of years of history have led to the formation of a large noble group within the kingdom. The nobles were like huge tree roots, tightly holding all classes in the kingdom, and there was no surplus land left in the kingdom to canonize new nobles - even the noble families had many heirs who had to leave the family to support themselves, let alone "commoners" like Green.
Green wondered what kind of advice the teenager in front of him would make.
"The labyrinth of Fog Hidden Village was destroyed by the Red Dragon and turned into a monster lair, and the entire Fog Hidden Canyon will soon be occupied by monsters and become a borderless land. The church will definitely send someone to the Fog Hidden Canyon with the "Flame of Order" to seal the monster lair and bring the Fog Hidden Canyon back under the rule of the church. ”
The labyrinth gate is a seal set by the gods, once the labyrinth gate is destroyed, the entire labyrinth will turn into a lair of monsters, and endless monsters will destroy everything around! The lair cannot be destroyed or turned back into a labyrinth, but it can be sealed, and sealing the lair requires the use of a special magic item called "Flame of Order".
"Hmm...... But what does this have to do with me? "With the situation of the kingdom, even if the Fog Hidden Canyon is reincorporated into the kingdom's territory, the new lords will only be screened from among the church or the kingdom's nobility, and it has nothing to do with commoners like me. ”
"What if you get the Flame of Order?"
Green looked at the young man in front of him with a strange expression: "...... You're not going to let me grab the Flame of Order, are you? ”
"You have to take a risk if you want to make a difference, don't you?"
The corners of Green's mouth twitched: "Ah...... It's a genius idea. After grabbing the "Flame of Order", I can choose to go into exile in the North, and then enclose a random piece of land in the Wild Land in the North, recruit outcasts, and become a Wild Lord? ”
In the wilderness outside of civilization, there are many areas occupied by monster lairs. As long as you go to the Savage Land with the "Flame of Order", enclose a random piece of land, and seal away the monster nests within the territory, you can transform into a "glorious" pioneer lord - most of the pioneer lords die a "glorious" death.
"There is no need to flee to the north. As long as you kill all the escorts of the Flame of Order, who knows where your Flame of Order comes from? ”
Hearing the words of the black-robed young man, Green's eyes narrowed slightly: "Even if you don't know it at first, as long as you investigate, you will find out sooner or later." ”
"As long as there is no evidence, it is enough. We have a relationship with an adult, and as long as you can offer the "Flame of Order", I don't think you will refuse a 'Dragon Slayer' to become your vassal. As long as there is no evidence, even the church cannot arrest a real nobleman! ”
"Huh...... Who's behind you? ”
"Would you like to join us? As for your identity, you can rest assured that as long as you can offer the "Flame of Order", the adults will definitely be able to provide you with protection. ”
"Tsk...... Forget it, take me out of town. Politics and intrigue are not my forte, but I prefer problems that can be solved with my fists. ”
"Please trust me, joining us will definitely do you no harm."
I believe you're evil! In a word, you want to fool me into being a free thug for you? Are you stupid to me?
Green rolled his eyes and laughed dryly: "Hehe......"
"A rare opportunity is placed in front of you, if you don't cherish it, you will definitely regret it later." The black-robed boy hadn't given up yet.
"I don't know if I'll regret it. But if you don't get me out of town within ten minutes, I'll give you no chance to regret it! Green smiled and clenched his fists, "If you don't believe me, you can try." ”
Black-robed boy: "...... I understand. ”
The black-robed boy failed to "persuade".
Green succeeded in "convincing" the black-robed boy.
Faced with Green's threat of force, the black-robed young man obediently gave up the struggle and led Green through a long tunnel and finally to a pool.
"There's a passage under the water, and you can go through the channel under the water to reach the Jianshi River." The black-robed boy pointed to the pool and said to Green.
Green looked at the murky pool in front of him and looked up at the ceiling overhead.
"How far is it from the ground?" Green reached out and tapped the ceiling above his head. The stone ceiling looks very sturdy.
"You...... What do you want to do? The black-robed young man had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Ah, nothing, I just don't want to get my clothes dirty." Green grinned at the boy, "Don't mind if I make a hole here, right?" ”
After saying that, Green took a deep breath.
"Smash the punch! ~"Green's fist slammed into the ceiling above his head with an indomitable momentum!
"Boom! ~"The sturdy ceiling shatters in an instant!
After a burst of flying sand and rocks, the blue sky and white clouds overhead were revealed.
"Well, it's not that far from the ground." Green trembled, shook off the sand on his body, turned his head to the two young men and girls with dead faces, and said, "Then I'll go first, two, and I'll see you later." ”
Green jumped out of the cave with Beladonna on his shoulders and walked away.
Seeing Green leave, the black-haired woman suppressed her anger and said, "Thomson, look at what stupid things you've done!?" ”
"How so?" The black-robed young man smiled, "Although he rejected our alliance, he will still go to the canyon to ambush him." ”
"Hehe~ You're so confident? Maybe he'll turn around and tell the church about our plans, and we'll have more guards in front of us. The brunette scolded angrily, "What the hell are you thinking!?" ”
"That man wasn't a good man. Is it in any interest to tell the church about us? The black-robed young man sneered, but looking at the big hole in the tunnel, the black-robed young man's expression instantly fell, "Damn dragon slayer!" Nicole, come, do me a favor and plug this tunnel. ”
……
A few kilometers away on the side of the road, Green sat under a large tree, resting and nibbling on wild fruit.
"'Tinder of Order'?" Green took a bite of the bitter and spicy unknown wild fruit, squinting at the system map, "Do you want to fish in troubled waters?" ”
Obviously, the cultists want to make trouble.
Green didn't want to be used as a gunman, but he didn't mind being a yellow finch......
