The inhabitants of Tristram have never had a concept of a state more than 200 years ago. Although Canduras is called a country, there are only a few small states scattered around the land, and a single raid by bandits, or the invasion of monsters and demons, can destroy a state. As a result, most Canduras people do not trust the so-called royal family, and in their eyes, it is a miracle that these bombastic kings can not be the first to flee in the face of disaster, let alone protect their people.

So the inhabitants of Tristram were very unwelcome to the self-proclaimed king from the East, and they did not want to convert to a foreign religion. Leorick was surrounded by a large number of soldiers armed to the teeth, which made the residents a little jealous, so even though they were dissatisfied, no one stood up against Leoric.

Leorik could sense the distrust of the inhabitants here, but instead of being angry or discouraged, he patiently continued, "I am not here to show off my strong force, nor to plunder your hard-earned wealth. I crossed the vast Twin Seas, traversed the desperate Aranok Desert, climbed the steep Tymo Mountains, I saw many ruined cities, I saw the dotted ronin camps, and I heard the cries of countless poor displaced people. All of this makes me feel painful, but it also makes me determined, I want to be the guardian of Canduras, I want to protect the people here, maybe I am not your king in your hearts now, but I will use my actions to let Canduras crown me! ”

When the residents heard Leoric's proud and thoughtful speech, the ice in their hearts melted a little, and they no longer looked at Leorick with hostility, but no one stood up to support him.

Leorik was already satisfied with the reaction of the residents, and as long as they did not reject him, he was confident that he would win the hearts of everyone in the shortest possible time.

Liszt looked at the passionate and combative Leorick from the sidelines, and couldn't help but sigh that the real king was born with convincing power, and he believed that King Leorik would be a wise king and eventually gain the love of the people.

Leorik led his servants out of town and toward the monastery of Hradium. According to his archbishop, Lazarus, the monastery was abandoned, but it was large enough for a group to live there for a while and transform it into the Cathedral of Light.

Not long after walking, a towering monastery came into view, although this monastery has been deserted, but it is believed that after renovation, it will regain its glory, and there is a garden in front of the monastery, but now it is overgrown with weeds.

Liszt followed Leoric into the monastery, and felt a cold aura blowing over his face, and the sun was still high in the sky, but this monastery made people feel eerie. "There must be something wrong here," thought Liszt, "if memory serves, this is also the place chosen by Archbishop Lazarus." There must be some secret here. ”

Leoric, on the other hand, didn't feel anything, he felt that this huge monastery was just what he wanted, although it was a little dilapidated, but as long as it was well renovated, it could be used as his daily office, and Leoric's dissatisfaction with Lazarus because of the location problem at this time also dissipated, and he felt that his childhood friends still knew him and cared for him.

Although it was still early, the soldiers and ministers and priests who had traveled long distances were already tired. So Leorik ordered a space to be cleaned up, to rest, and to renovate the monastery from tomorrow.

Liszt felt unusually uncomfortable in the monastery, which made it difficult for him to rest, so he walked out of the monastery to wander around the town.

Within two steps, Liszt was at Tristram. Although Leorick is from the Eastern Continent, they are actually no different from the people here in appearance. Liszt, on the other hand, had a handsome face with an exotic oriental appearance, which made the young girls on the side of the road blush, and even many men watched it with relish.

Kane finished his class, but he was still thinking about the admirable King Leorik just now. As soon as he exited the door of the school, Kane spotted Liszt walking on the street. He was surrounded by soldiers just now, so no one saw Liszt's appearance, but when he walked alone down the street, he became the absolute focus.

In the past, when Liszt was a child, people would only look at him curiously, and later, although he developed quickly and grew into a young man, he basically wore a mask and received fearful glances. But this time, he could feel the heat and shyness in the eyes of those girls, which made him unusually unaccustomed, he had never felt such naked love, and if he continued like this, he might have to run away.

Kane saw the embarrassed appearance of the Oriental boy, touched his beard, and laughed happily. "I think back then, I was much more popular than him, and those blind sisterhood nuns were ...... to me" Thinking about it, Kane showed a lewd smile, fortunately the children were gone, otherwise it would have nightmares to see their teacher like this......

Liszt couldn't stand the encirclement of his love, so he buried himself in a house and wanted to find a random place to hide.

Kane was still immersed in the memories of the obscene past, and he didn't expect that the Oriental boy would walk straight towards him regardless of it, rush into his school, and suddenly interrupt Kane's memories, Kane looked at Liszt, who was like a turtle with a shrunken head, and knew it in his heart, and also walked into the room and closed the door.

"Hey, boy, scared, aren't you?" Kane sat down with a smile and looked at Liszt, who looked like he was living after the catastrophe.

"I'm sorry, this uncle, I can't stand it anymore, I hope to hide here for a while." Liszt was terrified.

"Hahahaha, no problem. The girls are very welcoming, but, boy, you're so innocent, you should try to get in touch with the girls, you're going to love it! Kane smirked and winked at Liszt.

Liszt only listened to Kane's words, and did not answer at all, but introduced himself: "Hello, this uncle, my name is Liszt, and I am from distant Kartim. ”

Kane raised an eyebrow: "Kaltim, oh, I know, it's a great trading capital. Hello lad, my name is Decad Kane, you can just call me Kane. ”

"Have you been to Kaltim?" Liszt didn't expect that there were still people in this remote town who knew about the cities of the Eastern Continent.

"No, I haven't been, but I know a lot. I'm an academic, you know, specializing in things that make other people sleepy. Kane laughed to himself.

"Why did you settle here? Is there anything worth studying in this town? When Liszt learns that Kane is a scholar, he hopes to get some secrets about the town from him, a place that disturbs him and he must find out why.

"Worth looking into? That's nothing, this is my home, and my research is really just digging through old books, not traveling the world to explore, maybe I will go in the future, but I don't plan to do that right now. Kane wasn't going to say much to this young man, and even if he did, he wouldn't believe it, not even himself.

Liszt was disappointed, it turned out that this scholar was only in vain, he did not believe that a person who had only lived in one place all his life could have much knowledge, it seemed that he still had to rely on himself.

After chatting casually with Kane for a while, Liszt was about to leave, and he took his leave: "Uncle Kane, thank you for chatting with me so much, and thank you for taking me in, I will retire first, we are now living in the monastery, you can come to me if you have anything." ”

Kane joked, "Okay, but you have to be careful at night!" Beware of the devil crawling out of the ground to eat you! I'm not going to look for you then. ”

Hearing this, Liszt's action to leave suddenly froze, and he turned his head and looked at Kane in shock: "You mean the demon?!" ”
