At night, Rand dismissed a group of nobles, only returning to his palace with two personal servants, and just returned to the bedroom, Rand breathed a sigh of relief, as the second son of Duke Lionheart, this damn second ancestor didn't even have a little idea about military affairs and the political situation in his mind, he thought about eating, drinking and having fun all day long, maybe he knew that he would never be able to inherit his father's title, so he simply withdrew from the struggle for power with his brothers, and took the initiative to ask to come to this remote territory to be a small lord.

The struggle for power is extremely cruel, even if it is a biological brother, it will be a sword fight, not to mention that Rand and his two brothers were not born to the same mother, so once he gets in the way of the two brothers, they will not have any psychological obstacles when they attack Rand.

In Rand's memory, the eldest brother is a very domineering person, since he was a child, no one can take away what he has fancied from him, the third brother is more insidious, the most fond of playing conspiracy, the son of the Duke of Winton, Rand is the least competitive one.

His father had the highest expectations for his eldest brother, because the character of the eldest brother and his father were simply carved out of the same mold, and the eldest brother inherited his father's outstanding military talent, and at the age of twelve, he led the Hundred Knights to complete a perfect surprise attack on the enemy, beheading thirty-seven and capturing hundreds of people.

The third brother is not only scheming, but also extremely good at socializing, and is very open in the circle of the noble lords in the upper class, and is familiar with many powerful officials.

Lante, it's a little bit out of action, it's useless, Duke Winton is also completely disappointed in this son, give him a piece of territory, whatever you want, anyway, Lao Tzu is out of sight and out of mind.

The Duke of Winton is still a bit humane, and sent more than a dozen knights to protect his safety, and the assistant minister Love, in fact, acts as an eye to monitor Rand's every move, as long as Rand does something out of the ordinary, Love will immediately report to the Duke of Winton.

In this world, Rand searched all the corners of his mind, and found that there is no country in Europe in his memory that can match this world, is this not the earth, but another space?

"Forget it, it's useless to think about it so much, anyway, I've worn it all over, it's not bad to be a little lord, I have to live!" Rand sighed, in fact, there are still some benefits to such an identical identity, after all, neither of the two brothers will regard themselves as a threat, and they can develop indecently in this territory.

"Go and call Payne to me, don't tell anyone else, by the way, remember to hide from Love!" Rand said as if remembering something, lying on the couch and at his personal servant.

Demon Seed?Rand is particularly interested, people in this world regard the Demon Seed as a flood beast, but Rand doesn't think so, not to mention whether there is a scientific basis for the statement that the Demon Seed must bring disaster, the power of the Demon Seed makes Rand salivate, if you can have such an army, then who else is my opponent in the world?

The sense of crisis is a must, I have no specialty, this little life must be protected by myself, in case my brother or younger brother inherits his father's title in the future, I see that I am not pleasing to the eye and come directly to a one-size-fits-all approach, and I don't even have room for resistance.

You can't pin your life on someone else.

As the chief knight of his own order, Payne is a man who can be trusted, because the twelve knights sent by the Duke of Winton to Rand were all followers of Rand's mother, and when Rand's mother died, they were left to Rand as an inheritance.

About his mother, Rant's memory in his mind is very vague, he only remembers that she died of a serious illness when she was very young, Rand sighed, he was an orphan in his previous life, he didn't expect to cross over, and the situation was not much better, his mother died early, and his father didn't like him, it was really desolate......

Just as Rand was thinking about it, the bedroom door opened, and Payne walked in in his heavy armor, knelt respectfully on the ground, and said, "Your Excellency." ”

"Take me to see the demon seed again!"

"Your lord, you ...... Haven't you already seen it today? Demon seeds are all stinky, nothing to look at. Payne stood up in astonishment, forgetting even the etiquette, and said, "And the prison nights are very dark and damp, and you will be disgusted there." ”

"Payne, what is the knight's vocation?" Rand asked.

"Loyalty! Obedience!" Payne straightened in an instant.

"Do the order!" Rand said, waving his hand.

The outline of the prison in the air collar looked like a giant beast in the night, and the dim fire flickered in the night, and Rand, led by Payne, carefully avoided Love's residence and the soldiers who patrolled the night, and after informing the warden to open the gate, Payne led two knights to guard Rand's safety.

The corridors of the prison are long, like the intestines of a giant beast, and the deeper you go, the stronger the smell of fish in the air, and the smell of rotting flesh and feces and urine in the cell mix together to form a suffocating stench.

"Lord Lord, the demon seed has just been injected with a weakness potion, and his state of consciousness may not be very clear, are you sure you want to go and see it?" Payne followed behind Rand, trying to dissuade Rand from dispelling this thought.

"Payne, what do you think the demon seed is?" Rand didn't answer Payne, but instead asked him a question.

Payne frowned and replied, "The Fallen, the Devil, the Destroyer who sold his soul!"

"Haha!" Rand laughed, the laughter echoing far through the long prison hallway, and he turned his head to look at Payne, and said word by word, "Who can prove that the power of the demon seed was obtained from the hands of the demons, Holy See, or the Pope with a big beard?"

Payne had some difficulty accepting Rand's contemptuous tone when he spoke of the Holy See, he had been taught since childhood that the Holy See was the guardian of mankind, that the Pope was the supreme Father, and that boys could only become official knights after being ordained by the Holy See.

The Holy See is the supreme being in this world, and is there anything wrong with the hadiths they convey?

"Lord Lord, it's foolish to question the Holy See, there is no doubt that the demons have devastating powers and can bring disaster to their friends and family around them!" said Payne, who did not flinch, staring into Rand's eyes.

Rand rubbed his head with some distress, it seems that the people in this world have been brainwashed to a deep degree, and it is not a simple matter to change their minds.

In silence, everyone had reached the deepest part of the cell, Payne lit the lamp in the doorway, and the dazzling light of the fire illuminated the solitary cell in the deepest part, and Payne saw the demon seed in an instant.

Loneliness, despair.

This was the extremely strong emotion that Rand felt in the young man, he did not pass out from the injection of the debilitating potion, but curled up in the corner, his arms clasped around his knees, and the moment the fire lit up, the young man raised his head, and there were stars beating in the depths of his eyes.

Rand squatted down, threw a robe into it, and motioned for the boy to drape it on his body, it was the middle of winter, and the biting chill was coming, and the boy looked very weak, in case he froze to death in the cell, Rand's great plan would be ruined.

"What's your name?"

"Oak, Oak Perion. The boy's voice was deadly.

"You're a demon seed, what are your abilities?"

"Fire, anger and vengeance. A hint of pain appeared on Oak's young face, and he grabbed his hair and said, "But I've never used my powers to hurt anyone!"

"How did he get caught?" Rand asked, somewhat surprised, at Payne.

"I heard from the nearby villagers that it seemed that he had encountered a robber who wanted to hurt his family, and he used his ability, and after losing his strength, he passed out on the ground and was caught by us. Payne said, his old face also a little red, after all, in the true sense, this demon seed was not caught by him, but only a leak.

"Our family is an honest herdsman, I have never used my power arbitrarily, I believe in the Holy See, I believe in His Holiness the Pope. But when the knives of the bandits slashed at my family, there were no knights of the Holy See with shields and swords to protect us, and I ...... I can only use my abilities!" the boy sobbed, hiding in the corner like a young beast that had lost its home.

"I'm not going to kill you. After a moment of silence, Rand spoke.

"You...... Are you serious?" the boy was shocked, struggling to his feet, staggering forward with his heavy anklet.

"Stop! One step further and I'll pierce your heart!" Payne gasped and drew the sword at his waist and aimed it at Oak's chest.

Rand patted Payne on the shoulder and motioned for him to put down his sword, and Rand said in as gentle a voice as possible "I mean what I say, if you are willing to restrain your strength and do things for me, I can guarantee that within my territory, you will live like a normal human being!"

"Your Lord, do you know what you're talking about?" Payne was shocked.

"Penn, think about it, if we can have an army of demon seeds, then we will sweep the world without fear!" Rand's eyes lit up.

"My lord, if you can keep me alive, I will be loyal to you!I swear that I will never betray you!" Oak's eyes burned with the desire to survive, and he staggered forward, his hands gripping the iron railing.

"Stand back!" Payne roared and swung his sword.

Rand didn't pay attention to Payne, but took a step closer to the iron railing, carefully looked at his appearance, he found that from the appearance, the demon seed is not at all different from normal humans, Oak's face is covered with blood, Rand is confident that he will be subdued, for a dying man, who can give him hope of life, that is like a savior.

Rand took out a handkerchief from his expensive fur robe, and reached out to wipe the scabs from Oak's face little by little, and he wiped it very carefully, from the base of his ears to the corners of his eyes, and then to the corners of his mouth, which was the time to show his tenderness.

Wait, why is the corner of Oak's mouth upturned?

He's sneering?

Why?

Rand couldn't help but shudder.

Oak's right hand suddenly grabbed Rand's wrist, and a cold chill came.

"My lord, there is something I must tell you. Oak said softly: "I panicked, there are no bandits at all! I was caught because I killed a knight of the Holy See's Guard, and I was wounded in the battle, so I couldn't control my strength and was discovered by the villagers!"

Rand's pupils narrowed dramatically in an instant.

"There's also bad news, the dosage of the Elixir of Weakness is too small, Lord Lord, and you're getting too close!" said Oak with a heartfelt smile on his face.

In the next second, a weak but clear voice resounded in the cell.

"Flames!"
