Chapter 41: I'll Lie to You

The carriage staggered away from North County, and Brother Benedict and Reverend Alonthos sat face to face in the carriage, the former looking restless, and the latter closing his eyes and recuperating in the presence of the old god.

For some reason, since seeing the back of that suspected person, Benedi has been in a state of distraction, panic, and always feeling that something is going to happen. But if you really want him to say that he is ugly, he can't do it.

Alonsos' eyes opened slightly: "You can't be worried, the nobles of Stormwind City are not much stronger than those in the North County. ”

Lose sleep over something?

I didn't.

Benedict didn't argue, but changed the subject: "When it comes to the people of North County, that sheriff Walton is not very good. ”

It's not good, Walton thinks that no one has noticed his mask, but in fact, both Alonsos and Benedict have seen through him - this thing is a pseudo-believer who doesn't know the Light and doesn't know how to pretend to understand. Considering Walton's confusion of light with magical elements, Alonsos and Benedict couldn't tell whether to laugh at his ignorance or at themselves for not preaching well.

Looking at Alonsos's somewhat similar face, Benedict put his hands behind his head and leisurely remembered the past.

Alonsos is an interesting guy, and it's interesting to see if the nobles of Stormwind will bow down to him.

"What do you say Stormwind will do when he learns that the Northern County has been occupied by us, what kind of response will the descendants of the Rhine take to me, the Earl who suddenly appeared, and whether they still have the skills of the Rhine, I am looking forward to it."

Ainan sat in the seat that originally belonged to the sheriff of North County, the material of the chair is not inferior but it is not good, fortunately, Ainan is not one of those aristocratic lords who have to pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation, and will not learn from the aristocratic lords to kick over this family that has wronged their noble ass.

At the mention of the Duke of Rhine, Ainan didn't feel that it was wrong to call the first kingdom of the Stormwind Kingdom by his first name, and Sloanan and Marcus and others showed extremely disdainful expressions.

Strictly speaking, the Duke of Rhine was a traitor, who betrayed the knights who trusted him for power, and the betrayer was never liked by anyone, and even more shameless.

The envoy of Stormwind City came not usually fast, it was only two short days from the accident in North County to the arrival of the envoy of Stormwind City, and Ainan estimated that Walton, the sheriff of North County, was still in a hurry at this time.

Oh, it's wrong, you should have added the original word in front of the sheriff, it was Walton, the former sheriff of North County.

He can't afford to lose such a big responsibility as North County, it's good to be able to save his life, and he still wants to continue to be an official?

Make his big dreams in the spring and autumn.

"It's coming so quickly, it seems that the royal family of Urion has not relaxed its surveillance of the North County."

It's right to think about it, when Tass disappeared so suddenly, who came to find out, North County is so close to Stormwind City, and there has been such a strange incident, and no one will be at ease.

"Let the messenger in."

Look at what kind of people the current head of the Wryon royal family will send.

A tall, thin, well-dressed old man walked in, and saw this man Ainan sit up straight, and from the face of this old man, he vaguely saw the shadow of the old fox of Neras.

I remember that the old fox once said that his family had children, but the old fox was not satisfied with them, so he did not choose an heir among these people, but handed over the title of earl and the management of the royal library to himself.

As soon as the old man saw Ainan, he didn't wait for Ainan to speak, and he attacked violently: "Your Excellency, you call yourself Count Nellas Elam, do you have proof. If not, it is pretending to be the Earl of the Kingdom to steal the North County, and we will definitely not tolerate such a person. ”

Small, you're quite horizontal, this is to take the lead?

Ainan pursed his lips, although he didn't know how to use this kind of negotiation skills and the like, he had heard a lot, and the old man's words couldn't frighten him.

"You want a voucher? Okay, I'll give it to you. ”

A contract scroll was thrown at the old man, who hurriedly reached out to catch it. The old man, who looked down with a prickly heart, soon discovered a fact that he couldn't accept, that is, he couldn't find a flaw in this contract scroll.

Whether it was the paper used in the scrolls, or the secret marks unique to the Neras family, which only a few core members knew, and even the signature of the Count Neras, the initiator of the contract, was exactly the same as what he had seen in the family's archives.

Could it be that this contract is genuine, and that the young man in front of him is really the same mage Ainan who fought with his family's ancestors on the banks of the Sadol River to resist Tolbane's pursuers?

However, this is obviously impossible.

The ancestors of Neras were already hundreds of years ago, and the incident on the banks of the Sadol River has also passed hundreds of years, how can anyone live to be hundreds of years old?

"No way, it's absolutely impossible!"

Emotionally unacceptable, intellectually refusing to accept, but the iron-clad facts in front of him make the old man unacceptable.

Knocking on the armrest of the wooden chair, Ainan asked the old man, "What generation are you the grandson of the old fox?" ”

"Eighth generation."

The old man replied, and he looked at Ainan with a strange look. If everything is true, then the person in front of him is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, but his appearance is similar to that of a young man about twenty years old.

No matter which one it is, I believe it will trigger a crazy pursuit of the great nobles.

Of course, when he heard others say that his ancestor was an old fox, only he knew what the old man felt in his heart.

"Don't look at me like that, I know what you're thinking." Ainan raised his index finger and shook it, "Since you are the descendant of the old fox, I won't hide it from you, I was lucky to survive the attack of the bronze dragon with the old fox, but the old fox lost his life." As for saying that if you want to live for hundreds of years without getting old and immortal, you can tell me if you want to take a dragon's breath before you die. ”

The old man snorted twice without answering, how many people can withstand the dragon's breath and not die? Even if you carry the dragon's breath, you may not be able to succeed if you listen to Ainan's meaning, if this doesn't work, then the dragon's breath won't be in vain?

"If you want to get it but you don't want to pay, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" As if sighing, as if reminding, Ainan turned his words to the topic, "Don't delay my time, since the descendants of the Rhine have sent you, what they want to see is also my relationship with the old fox." Now, I say you listen. ”

"I will definitely not agree to stay in Stormwind City in this place in Beijun, although I am not afraid of a real fight, I don't want you to be difficult, after all, I accepted the love of the old fox, and I will return it to him today." Ainan then said something that made the old man's heart fall to the ground, "I can give up the northern county to the royal family of Urien, but the land near Karazan must be given to me. Also, I want to build a magic tower in Karazan, the cost of which will be borne by the royal family of Ureon, and I will give you a list of materials to use, and the materials on it must not be deducted in the slightest, otherwise the royal family of Ureon will pray that the walls of Stormwind can withstand the onslaught of 7,000 high-ranking warriors. ”

Fortunately, Karazan is located in a remote area, and more importantly, it is not the territory of the royal family, so it is very cost-effective to exchange it for a northern county. The latter one is very disturbing, you Ainan built the magic tower and you paid for it yourself, why let the royal family pay for you?

It's just that if the royal family doesn't pay for it, what if this person really has 7,000 high-level warriors?

Test him with words.

"The second one is absolutely impossible, it costs a lot of money to build a magic tower, how can you make the royal family pay if you are not a court mage? Taking a step back, even if the royal family nods, what materials are needed cannot be completely decided by you, you are clearly blackmailing. ”

The old man was furious, and Ainan was saddened by the sight of Nielas.

The old fox was loyal to the knight, and was a mortal enemy of the usurping Duke of Rhine, but his descendants were serving the mortal enemy at the moment, and he made a small request to the royal family of Ureon, and the old man jumped three feet high like a cat with his tail stepped on.

"It's sad, it's ridiculous, it's pathetic, it's not pitiful at all."

Ainan's eyes were half-closed, and an invisible murderous aura enveloped the old man, who shivered violently, and froze in place and didn't dare to say anything.

"I'm just lying to you, what's the matter? Go back and bring a message to Wrynn, he has occupied my North County for so many years, if you don't give me an explanation, then I'll go and give him an explanation. ”
