Chapter Ninety-Three: The Return of the Hero
At the edge of Cologne City, a portal appeared, and Ding Lei, dressed in black knight armor, walked out of it, looked up at the tall city, and disappeared in place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When it reappeared, it was already inside the inn room where he used to stay.
Ding Lei stretched out his hand and glanced at the high-level teleportation crystal in his hand, this thing came from Camilla's handwriting, although the teleportation distance is not as exaggerated as the portal, but it is much easier to use than the high-level teleportation skill.
Walking downstairs slowly, the shopkeeper at the door was surprised when he saw him.
"Hey boss, how are you doing?" Ding Lei raised his hand and greeted.
"Ah...... Mr. Addo?? Oh my God, where have you been lately? The shopkeeper obviously didn't have any nonsense, and went straight to the point: "It's a big deal, it's going to be a war!" The castle lord made an announcement yesterday and began to recruit a large number of adventurers to participate in the battle. ā
Ding Lei was in a trance when he heard this, and almost forgot that Cologne had been living in the fear of the four forces, and immediately exploded his nest as soon as there was a stir.
"Got it, I'll go to the city lord." As he spoke, he prepared to go outside.
"Please wait a minute, Mr. Addo." The shopkeeper called from behind, and Ding Lei turned around, waiting for him to continue.
"That...... Is there really going to be a war? The shopkeeper asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, boss, you can't fight." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
"But..... but how can you be so sure?"
Ding Lei walked halfway and turned the side of the helmet to look at him.
"Because I'm in charge of this place."
On the way to the city lord's mansion, all the shops along the way locked their gates, and the prosperous scene of the past was gone, and among the sparse passers-by, the most people walked were soldiers wearing leather armor and holding rudimentary weapons.
"His Royal Highness Knight Addo!!"
At this moment, a voice sounded from behind, and with that shout, the people who had been walking quickly on the road with their heads down raised their heads.
"The armor...... I remember that armor! ā
"It's Black Hawk Knight!"
"The Black Hawk Knight has arrived! Our hero has arrived!! ā
"Now we're saved!!"
People gathered one after another, along with the soldiers passing by one by one, and the faces of each of them were instantly full of vitality from the previous decadence.
In times of despair, people crave heroes, and heroes bring hope.
Look at the crowd gathering more and more...... That's the power of hope.
Everyone looked at the black knight in the middle silently, expecting him to say a few words.
"Ahem, don't worry, everyone, there will be no war here." Ding Lei said loudly to everyone.
"How do you know? Can you guarantee that? ā
"I heard that the people of the three forces are already on their way here."
"What are we going to do? Mr. Knight? ā
Ding Lei stretched out his hand and pressed the void, and said: "I am here to assure you, in the name of my Black Eagle, as long as I am here, as long as I am one day, the haze of war will never approach you." ā
"However, the armies of the three sides have been dispatched here, which is very definite news!"
"Yes, yes!"
It seems that if you don't show some strength, you can't appease the people, and it's not the old job after all.
Ding Lei silently recited the 'Death Spiral' skill in his heart, raised his right hand and said loudly: "Everyone, look at this." ā
I saw that on the palm of his hand, there was a ball of light that was glowing with purple light and spinning rapidly.
Just as everyone was amazed, the black knight threw it hard into the sky in the distance, and everyone turned their heads to look.
The ball of light flew halfway through, and the wind suddenly spun at great speed, and a huge tornado was instantly generated, wrapping around the ball of light and heading straight into the sky.
The wind slammed into the people's field of vision, and while people squinted, they looked into the distance, and a huge, oblique tornado rushed straight into the dim clouds, which seemed more and more shocking in the originally cloudy sky.
Watch as the huge black tornado fades away and disappears from people's field of vision, while a tremor and thunder can be heard high in the sky.
Is it going to rain? It's not going to break the cumulonimbus clouds, it's a bit overdone......
Ding Lei, who was looking up at the sky, was thinking wildly, and suddenly, a burst of "pop" applause came, and he looked down at everyone.
Everyone went from being stunned to clapping their hands excitedly.
Thunderous applause.
"Our hero is back!!"
"Hero! Hero! Hero! ā
Ding Lei took advantage of the situation and waved his hand: "Follow me to the City Lord's Mansion!" ā
"Oh!!!"
More and more pedestrians gathered on the road, and when they heard the news of the return of the hero who saved Cologne, they joined the procession.
In the end, almost all the people of the city came to the gate of the city lord's mansion.
Inside the Lord's Palace of Cologne, in the Count's office.
"Castle Lord!! Castle Lord!! It's a big deal! The people have rebelled!! The adjutant rushed in with a pale face.
Arthur, the city lord who was drinking tea, slammed the cup in his hand and fell to the ground.
"You...... What did you say? ā
"I ......"
At this moment, another guard officer ran over and shouted, "Good news! Good news! My lord!! ā
The adjutant was annoyed for a while, turned his head and scolded angrily: "Do you have a hole in your brain?!" What a fart for the people to rebel!! ā
"No..... it's not a rebellion. It's Addo Knight! The Black Hawk Knight is back! ā
Listening to the two of you and me talking word by word, the city lord who had a big ups and downs was a little confused.
Finally, he asked, "What the hell are you talking about?" ā
"I ......"
"Arthur." A familiar voice came.
Everyone turned to look at the doorway, where a familiar suit of black knight's armor appeared.
"Do you have time to talk?"
The adjutant and the chief of the guard glanced at each other, hurriedly bowed to the two men, and then went out silently, closing the door gently.
Ding Lei came to the desk and looked down at the city lord Earl who was sitting behind.
He is only middle-aged, but he is full of white hair, his thin cheeks are full of wrinkles, and his whole face looks dozens of years older than before.
At this time, the count lowered his head, and after a while, there were bursts of sobbing.
"Why are you here..... ......"
"Sorry, there's something going on."
The city lord wiped his face, hurriedly stood up, and said, "Quick, sit down." ā
The two of them shuddered for a while, and then they got to the point.
"Have you heard anything about the recent events?" Arthur looked at Ding Lei, who was sitting opposite, and asked.
"Got it."
"Hey..... although I expected such a day, I didn't expect it to come so quickly, and there were three of them, and they obviously wanted to use Cologne City as a battlefield. A commercial city has become a battlefield of fighting, the industry that my family has operated for generations will eventually be destroyed, and most importantly, what will happen to the people of the city......"
Ding Lei took off his helmet, put it on the table, and asked, "Haven't you thought about seeking refuge in one of the forces?" ā
Arthur was still stunned for a moment when he saw him for the first time, and after hearing his words, he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Yes, but the location of Cologne City is a bit special, and several forces want to use this place as a buffer or supply station, and neither side wants to cause trouble." Speaking of which, the satellite city to the west is also a virtue, but there is nothing that the robbers are eyeing up. ā
"Magic Crystal Mine."
"yes...... I've signed a contract with those long-eared people, and I can't do it if I don't pick it, but when I pick it up, the robbers are worried about it....."
"Arthur, I now have a way to save you, and the people of your city." Ding Lei looked at him with a smile and said slowly.
