Dures sneered: "It's not the first time I've seen such a drama, whether it's Bloucester or Salibota City, hyena-like characters are always the most timing." ”

Shepard smiled and didn't interject, but instead diverted the topic: "It's been three days since we entered the city, did Your Excellency the Earl say when you will start cleaning up the monsters in the outer city?" ”

Speaking of business, Duris put down his wine glass and said solemnly: "The royal guards of the Amm royal family have been dispatched, and now the defense of the inner city is taken over by us. ”

Hearing this, Shepard immediately smiled: "Actually made up more than 6,000 people? There were only 50,000 people in the inner city, and there were many wealthy citizens and servants of the nobles, but they didn't expect that these nobles still had so many people in their hands when the royal guards suffered heavy losses. ”

Dures also smiled: "Yes, you didn't look at King Am's expression when he saw the list that day, the priests of the Church of the Gods have also prayed for the oracle, the entire outer city, there should be less than 20,000 monsters now, it only takes a week to clean up, and then you can transfer out of the city to open the road, so that the people who fled out can come back." ”

Shepard bowed slightly: "If the number is not too much, the monster army of about 50,000 is now gone, what about the encirclement around François?" ”

Baron Rothbal touched his bald head and sat on the high-backed chair beside him, and said in a muffled voice: "I heard that the siege of the church went very smoothly, because I don't know what went wrong, the reason why the twisted monster summoned by the cultists did not succeed, although they later spent a lot of money to carry out several bloody sacrifices, but they were all interrupted by the church's divine punishment, although the pollution was very serious, François and several nearby big cities were almost ghostly, and they were still suppressed." ”

Shepard's mind moved, and he thought of the crypt that he had destroyed, and heard Dures speak: "Speaking of which, those priests have already begun to ask for the location of the temples of your highnesses, and presumably as soon as Esmirtaran recovers, construction will begin." ”

Shepard shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "This is good news, when the time comes, the final reward will begin, and then I can go back, this year's spring ploughing near Bloucester has no chance, and I still have to set up defenses, lest the elves of [Verdas Forest] drive out spiders or other disgusting things to destroy my territory." ”

Du Ruis clapped his hands and laughed: "By the way, let's go together then, just when I stop by the way back to Franc Machine City, do you have anything else to prepare?" ”

Shepard thought for a moment: "I plan to invite the faith of the [Earth Goddess] into my territory, the original Prell Territory is too small, although Riverbend Town has the faith of [Lady of Wealth] and [God of Travel], but they are only sanctuaries set up by missionaries, not even a temple, when I bring the faith of the goddess back to the territory, I will build a temple in Blost, with the turmoil in the Kingdom of Amm in the past year, the shortage of food will be very serious." ”

Durith's eyes lit up: "Your idea is very good, it seems that I am also going to introduce a group of priests of the earth goddess in my territory, after all, it will take a long time for those guys to fight for an ironclad result, but our territory has stabilized, it is better for you and me to join forces, so that at least half of the food of the Anmu Kingdom will depend on us to provide!" ”

Shepard smiled: "If you have a suitable caravan candidate, I can hand over the production of the territory to your people to sell, as long as I give me enough money according to the agreed amount every year, and the rest is your profit." ”

This idea is very unique, Duris was originally an honorary nobleman, and he had already handled the things he was doing business and selling, so he immediately agreed to it, but the details naturally had to be discussed again.

After deciding on a business cooperation, Durith suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked Shepard: "In the future, the Forest of Verdas will be close to your territory, elves, druids, those alien races, and dragons!" Cultivating farmland near Bloucester is not so easy. ”

Seeing that Duris was indeed genuinely worried about himself, Shepard was quite satisfied that he knew people well, and said with a light smile: "It's nothing, the forest of Verdas is so vast, and my territory is only a small part of the border with the forest, and besides, I plan to reclaim a dozen more farms to the north of Brest, but the south is really not suitable." ”

"What are you going to do in the south?" Dures was surprised.

Shepard just smiled and didn't speak, the Verdas Forest didn't dare to say anything else, there were more than a dozen large and small tombs, ruins, treasures or something, although there was nothing of value to him, but releasing three or two pieces of news was enough to attract a large number of adventurers to get moved, and when the time came, the consumption power would drive the local economy, enough to raise an adventurer town south of Blost.

There is no need to defend the forest by himself, and it is his plan to attract adventurers to serve as free guards for him.

……

The cool breeze of the night blew through the room, and the moonlight shone down to make the room still have some light, and Shepard, who was lying on the bed, was half asleep and half awake, when suddenly his eyes widened, and he turned over and sat up.

There was no one in the room, and he was the only one enjoying the soft velvet bed, and he walked naked to the window, the moonlight shining on the well-proportioned and toned muscles, as perfect as a breathing sculpture of the human body.

However, he frowned, looked into the distance and said to himself: "Divine power fluctuations...... The space was also shaken up? is so strong, it seems that the siege of the Church of the Gods has reached the last moment, the François family is over, the Count of the Golden Crown is also over, there must be at least one elect or saint to make a move, and only the power of the legendary level can make me wake up across half the kingdom. ”

He subconsciously clenched his fists, the legendary level is the peak of individual strength in the main plane, comparable to the medium divine power that is not in the kingdom of God, even if he is a true god with weak divine power, in the face of a strong person of this level, he needs to retreat three points.

"That's it, presumably the news of the end of the war will come soon, there are still a lot of tasks in Esmirtaran, pick some valuable ones to do, the war is over, and the next thing is the feast of the victors, and when this is over, I can go back to Prell to lead."

"Hey, the south is a forest, the east and west are surrounded by mountains, only the north is unobstructed, but it has to be isolated by the Franco, and if it is someone else, this is the place of death for the rest of my life, but it is the best experimental field for me."

He had a thought in his heart, but he suddenly laughed, and he didn't plan to lie on the bed anymore, so he drew his long sword casually, put on his nightgown and walked downstairs, practicing his sword in the open space in front of the building.

The nightgown was tied tightly around his waist, Shepard's face was solemn, and the long sword suddenly stabbed, as fast as lightning, but he shot in a dignified manner, and then used his strength to change his moves, picking, wiping, cutting, and splitting all changed from his heart, especially the original sword moves were still very weird, fast and ruthless, and the moves were all concise and clear killing techniques.

This is exactly the dark elf swordsmanship he got from the Drow mage, the Drow clan has an underground body, unlike the people on the ground who like to stand on the heavy weapons of slashing, whether it is a scimitar or a bayonet, they are biased towards a light and agile style, although the Drow of [Danmonares] are more concise in killing skills, but they can't get rid of the natural advantage of Drow suitable for light skills.

However, Shepard did not use the pure gold stabbing sword favored by the Drow clan, but a decent but high-quality exquisite long sword, although the advantages of this standard weapon as a knight's sword are not obvious, but it is a balance, regardless of the light and heavy swordsmanship, plus the texture is excellent and extremely tough, even if it is used as a heavy sword to chop is no problem.

With a touch of his hand on the sword, the hazy light like the warm spring sun lingered on the sword, and the swordsmanship style used by Shepard suddenly changed to a dignified and masculine Sun Church swordsmanship.

In ancient times, the golden enforcers were all noble knights who believed in the sun god Amanata, and in that era when they were still pursuing knightly virtues, the knights of the sun god were brave and fearless, not afraid of strong enemies, not afraid of sacrifice, this momentum made their swordsmanship as majestic as people, as bright as the sun, but also meticulous and steady, not afraid of insidious and dark moves.

At this midnight, the long sword shrouded in fire and light left countless sword shadows in the air, different from the previous body light, sensitive as a butterfly, the movement range of this sword practice figure is not small, but it is extremely steady, every time you turn around and change your moves, it is natural, with a resolute and calm momentum.

A sword slashed out diagonally, suddenly accelerated halfway, stabbed forward, the long sword shook and buzzed, and several sword flowers were drawn in the air in an instant, showing that the hand of the sword was not only extremely fast, but also stable and skillful, and the afterimage in the line of sight could vaguely see that the sword flowers were arranged tightly, staggered and orderly, and it was by no means easy to do.

"Click."

There was a soft sound, as if someone had stepped on a dead branch, and Shepard immediately snorted coldly: "Tommar? Come out, I know it's you. ”

The air was silent for a while, and a young figure silently walked out, but not as humble and flattering as before, and sure enough, it was Tommar.

Xue Pard looked at this young man with a special bloodline, who was obviously talented but had a rough fate, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said coldly: "Tommar, do you want to be a knight?" ”

Tommar shook his head, most of his original fear and nervousness were gone, and he blurted out, "Yes! He was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth again: "But, my lord, I, how can I ......?"

Shepard slammed his sword to the ground and said indifferently: "I don't know if you have read the book, in the literature, the earliest knights are all powerful warriors who have gone through hard trials, honed their bodies and wills, and broken through the limits of human beings and have been rewarded. ”

"Since you can awaken the power of the bloodline, you are extremely talented, every lord will look for subjects in his own territory, select trustworthy and capable people to reward, very good, it is possible to become a knight."

"Tommar, I look very well at your potential, you should know, my territory has expanded many times now, but Sidney alone has knight-level strength, those veterans are waiting for their bodies to recover, and it is uncertain how many people can stand out from training, but you are different."

"I fancy you, Tommar, but can I trust you?"
