In terms of a siege war, this battle is undoubtedly a representative of the tiger's head and snake tail, perhaps knowing that the undead army will not hurt people's lives, when the balance of victory and defeat began to tilt towards the demon king army, the soldiers in the lord's castle all laid down their weapons one by one, and at the same time chose to give up not only the soldiers, the elderly lord even asked his subordinates to tie himself up, as prisoners of war to follow the demon king army ranks.

Even the lord did not intend to resist, so the soldiers in the castle lost their reason to fight, and the siege battle was ...... No, rather than a siege, I was able to make my way to the top floor of the lord's castle, where the lord usually received the rest of his important guests.

Your Excellency Xu Mo, I wonder if you have lost your breath? The old man's calm and breezy appearance suddenly made me feel like I was punching cotton, but I couldn't find anything wrong with it.

At the cost of the destruction of one of the castle's walls, as well as some of the soldiers who had been wounded in battle or knocked unconscious by their hands, the old man's apology was sincere.

No, this kind of victory because the other party released water and got it lightly made me very unhappy. I waved my hand for Diana to bring two chairs, and told the Undead Legion to leave the hall, and now that I had vented my grievances about being left out of the room, I was not going to hold on to it again: although the meeting was a bit of a friction, I finally met you as a result...... Hmm, what's your name?

Looking back on my conversations with Fino and Legley, it seems that I only know Rogle's full name, but I don't know anything about Fino's surname or her uncle's name.

Your Excellency Xu Mo, the old man's name is Rest. The old man facing me gave me a rather imposing name, and seeing that I had lost my previous momentum as if I was about to raid his house, Lester refused Diana's attempt to untie him. Then, with just two slight twists, the hemp rope that had been tied to Lester automatically fell off.

Gesturing to me to invite, Lester took a seat in one of the chairs that Diana had brought with me. At this moment, the figure of the unattractive old man instantly became taller, and his aristocratic demeanor was fully displayed. And this is just a family that has less than 200 years of heritage.

The old man asked again here, is the intruder who entered the castle just now the one who is Your Excellency Xu Mo himself? With a sigh of relief, Lester shook his head without waiting for me to answer: "No, it doesn't matter who the intruder is, the old man just wants to know if you are friend or foe."

What is an enemy and what is a friend? I was also sitting in my chair, and Cyno and Diana were side by side behind me.

It's a pity that there is no red wine and glass goblets at this time, otherwise as long as you add a stove, it is like a scene of villains talking in private at night.

Your Excellency Xu Mo. What are you from? Lester spreads his hands: to help the fallen little girl regain her lordship, or just to make a fortune.

If you have to say both, humans are inherently complex creatures, because depending on the situation, their appearance will be limited to more than just one personality. The other party likes to speak in this way, and I can only choose to cooperate temporarily: the reason why I came here is already obvious, since your ancestors have a relationship with the slasher...... Well, you don't mind me speculating, do you? The slasher token held by the guard beside Fino did not come from his ancestors, but was passed down to him by your father through means.

Well, you've even reasoned about that. Lester listened to my sudden flop, and finally there was a little surprise on his face. He didn't deny it: "It is true, but there is a small error in your speculation, in fact, the token was personally handed over by the old man to the leon boy to guard. And he must have told you the story of that miraculous ancestor.

Yes, that's true. I nodded and whistled at Rogley's superb acting skills, although I had noticed that this guard was a little clever when I first met Rogley, but I didn't think that he was a secret chess piece that Uncle Fino had ambushed by Fino's side.

His story is mostly true, but the protagonist in the story is the ancestor of the old man's family, and the current title is derived from the exploits he obtained in that great war.

That makes a lot more sense, so I nodded: Let's get back to the point, I don't care too much about the truth about the origin of the token. Even I have a great regret to tell you, Cyno. That is, the slasher in your mouth actually has no impression of the token, and the reason why he reached out to the little girl in distress in the first place. It's more out of my whim, and because it's a whim, I can't talk about why I came here, but I really asked about the scope of the assistance I provided...... Well, I can't get my lordship back, but if I pay more than I expected in the process, I'll ask Fino for the proper reward afterwards.

Rester was silent, and he didn't know whether he agreed with my statement or just said that he understood, and only after half a year did he reopen his mouth and asked: How much do you know about the affairs of the old man's family.

This part is a little harder to explain. I scratched my head, first planted a soundproof barrier in the hall, and then began to elaborate: for example, Fino and her parents just faked death, and then after more than a year, some monsters will break the seal, and finally add some dark scenes of the Rococona tribal state, ah, I almost forgot that Fino seems to have been deliberately transferred out of the territory by you.

Lester smiled wryly: Isn't that the same as all?

I put my hands on the back of my chair: that's pretty much it, so is the Q&A session over?

Ah, I beg you to answer the old man. Lester sighed again, and the whole person looked a little tired: in return, I wonder if His Excellency Xu Mo is interested in listening to the old man tell a story.

I shrugged my shoulders and motioned for Lester to swing freely.

Seeing that I didn't object or even leave, Lester first breathed a sigh of relief, and then cleared his throat and said in the tone of a storyteller: The origin of the story must be traced back to the previous war between the demon world and the human world, when the old man's ancestor happened to be a soldier of His Excellency the Slasher, and followed His Excellency the Slayer through countless large and small wars, until he was seriously injured in a battle and then retreated from the battlefield.

So far, it has been the same as what Legley had said. It's a pity that Cyno's memory of the big battle is missing, otherwise he can directly verify it on the spot.

It's just that although he was wounded and withdrew from the front line, his ancestors immediately turned around and devoted himself to intelligence work. And under the instructions of the previous Demon King, a creature that has never been seen before was analyzed.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt: The creature you are referring to can't be the one locked in the seal, right?

Lester glanced at me with a look of deep meaning: Yes. Just like what you said, Your Excellency Xu Mo, aren't you surprised why you can have such a vast territory with the title of the old man's family?

It's quite surprising that there are people around me who specifically list this part as a suspicious point.

Hehe, that's because the old man's family is here to guard the monster's seal. Lester turned his head and looked in the direction of Timles City: those who don't understand may think that Timles City is an economic center specially built by the tribal states to promote the development of towns, but the truth is that this is not the case, Timles City is actually a line of defense.

Do you mean that the people of the Fallen Country built a city to fight it out because they were worried that the monster would break the seal and run out?

Yes, as long as the seal is loosened to a certain extent. The elite soldiers of the Rococona Tribal States will be equipped and export large military equipment through Timeles City to face the monster that broke free from the seal.

Given the vastness of the territory and the Knights stationed in the city of Timeles, the suspicions that Beatrice had raised to me this morning had almost been resolved, and I turned to my own question: Is that monster so terrible?

Terrible is not enough to describe him. Rester stroked the back of his hand and recalled: According to the research records handed down by his ancestors, this monster is not only comparable to the dragon species in terms of overall strength, but also has extremely amazing recovery power, and more importantly, the damage it causes cannot be cured.

Untreatable injuries? Sorry, I don't know how to describe it.

The old man could understand His Excellency Xu Mo's thoughts. After all, as long as you can afford it, the current healing system and magic can even regenerate severed limbs, but the damage caused by that monster is an exception. Rest's eyes widened. Raise the volume: Whether it's the environment or the creature itself, anything that is hit by that monster will disappear!

In other words, the monster's attack comes with spatial magic, right? The place that was attacked was relocated, so ...... No, if it's just the missing parts, it should be able to regenerate.

Your Excellency Xu Mo, have you ever seen a picture that has been painted with white paint? Lester wiped it on his arm: it was as if his own existence had been erased, it stands to reason that this should have been a means that belonged only to God, if it weren't for the detailed records of the research records that he could not feel any divinity and reason from the monster, otherwise the old man might have mistaken the monster for God.

Hearing this, I had a rough idea of the situation of Fino's family, so I stood up and patted my shoulder, beckoned to Cyno and Diana, and prepared to leave.

Lester stared at my back. I didn't make any retentive moves, and I didn't say until I was about to walk out of the door: Your Excellency Xu Mo.

Don't talk. I'm not going to stir up such a dangerous thing, and if you dare to say more, be careful that I will flatten you!

No. You'll be back. Ignoring my angry gaze, Lester said calmly: This involves a great secret left by the previous Demon King, and if you are not satisfied with more than just establishing a small force, I think you will definitely not miss this secret.

Let's talk about that later. I stretched out my hand to wipe my face, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get over my face, I almost immediately turned around and went back to sit down, but for something like this, it would be better to discuss it with Beatrice, the only think tank in Demon King City, before making a decision. (To be continued)
