Chapter 14: Conflict in the Town
"What the hell is going on?"
Feeling the changes in his body, Sulu couldn't help but look at Pastor Edward in front of him with trepidation.
However, the old man's face still did not change, as if he had no idea that the holy light he emitted was being devoured.
Let's forget it, don't talk about it.
Sulu pondered for a while, but finally dismissed the idea and continued to receive treatment.
"Phew, your wounds have been completely healed, and the aura of the dead has been expelled."
It didn't take long for Pastor Edward to exhale deeply and speak.
Sulu looked down and saw that the bloody wound on his shoulder was gone, replaced by a patch of white skin, and no signs of injury were visible at all.
Suddenly, Sulu seemed to remember something, and hurriedly used his mental power to look into his body.
It's just that the result made him a little disappointed.
Although the dark elemental magic in his body was enhanced by devouring the holy light, this feeling enhancement was not obvious, like a drop of water in a river, which would not produce substantial changes at all.
"I'm old, and now I feel a little struggling to treat it once......
"Thanks, Mr. Edward, I'll get Kailin to send me the payment later."
Sulu stood up, smiled slightly, and said.
Just as he was about to walk outside the church, he was suddenly stopped by Pastor Edward.
"Wait...... Is there a way to deal with Gale Town? ”
Hearing this inquiry, Sulu was stunned for a moment, he had no idea why Edward was asking like this.
But he didn't intend to hide it: "Well, if nothing else, I can still deal with this situation." ”
"Really? Take good care of this town, after all, this is the only relic that old Lancelot left you. If you need help, you can always come to me, and I, an old man, can still be put in need. ”
Pastor Edward dropped a faint sentence and walked towards the door at the back of the church, leaving Sulu standing alone.
Why did he say that?
Sulu glanced up at the statue of the goddess of light, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
His intuition told him that this old priest NPC was not simple, and that living in this remote town for more than thirty years was nothing more than two possibilities: taking refuge, or guarding something.
"The hidden secret, let's explore it later, the most important thing now is to formulate a plan for the magic crystal mine, and the trouble in Gale Town."
Sulu slowly walked out of the dilapidated chapel and headed back towards his lord's mansion.
Gale Town's threat hung over his mind like a fish bone stuck in his throat, and it was very uncomfortable.
According to his calculations, the attack on Gale Town should be almost here, right?
Thinking of this, Su Lu's eyes couldn't help but flash an inexplicable light.
Gale Town......
Not only did he ask the other side to pay, but he was also ready to annex that place.
Because in Sulu's plan, Gale Wind will become an important trading point, and the excavated magic crystal ore will be sold through that place.
However, it is important to prepare, for example, by drawing the approximate location of the veins on a map.
After all, they can't just search aimlessly, without a clear area, even if they look for a few years, it is impossible to find the veins in the vast Venomara forest.
With these thoughts in mind, Sulu slowly walked towards the end of the street.
But before he could take two steps, he heard a rude man's voice.
Turning his head, he saw three men in armor blocking a woman in her forties and a young girl at the intersection, shouting incessantly.
Seeing this scene, Sulu's brows couldn't help but furrow.
The woman and the maiden, whom he knew, were Aunt Mary and her daughter, who lived next door to his house, and who had been living by mending their clothes because of the death of their husbands.
As for the three men......
Judging by the costumes on their bodies, these guys are adventurers from the outside world.
Although it is not known what happened, Sulu will definitely not allow the situation to continue to develop.
Suddenly, Sulu secretly sent instructions to several Silver Lion soldiers nearby, and then walked quickly towards the three adventurers.
"Hmph, your daughter just bumped into me, quickly compensate me 50 silver coins, otherwise...... Hum. ”
With a lewd smile on his face, Miles kept wandering over the two women and whispered.
The three of them originally planned to go to this neighborhood to collect a kind of material, and then go to this town to rest for a while, but they did not expect to meet two good-looking beauties.
After some small accidents, Miles has something on his mind.
As for the lords who run this town?
Hmph, who cares about the nobility of this rural place? Maybe the other side will turn around and curry favor with us adventurers.
"Whatever you see, get out of here, believe it or not, I'll gouge out your eyes."
Perhaps sensing the gaze of the townspeople around him, Miles brandished his sharp sword and roared angrily.
In an instant, a look of fear appeared on the faces of the townspeople, and they all took a step back.
But a young man with black hair did not retreat, and met Miles's gaze and walked slowly, as if he wanted to provoke.
"Hey, boy, it's none of your business, I advise you to get into trouble."
Miles stared at the black-haired man playfully, threatening.
However, the dark-haired man ignored his words and walked directly to the two women.
That's right, this dark-haired man is Sulu.
"What is going on, Aunt Mary?"
Sulu ignored the three adventurers beside him, looked directly at the plump Aunt Mary, and asked softly.
"Lord Sulu, I just accidentally touched them just now, but they asked me to pay 50 silver coins."
Before Aunt Mary could speak, the girl beside her spoke angrily.
Hearing this, there was a hint of anger in the eyes of the townspeople around them, knowing that 50 silver coins were enough to support a family for several months.
"Sulu-sama ......"
Aunt Mary looked at Sulu with concern in her eyes, and although she wanted the lord to do justice for them, she was also worried that she would cause him trouble, after all, the lord was just an ordinary person.
"That's right...... Don't worry, leave it all to me. ”
Su Lu smiled at Aunt Mary, then looked at the three adventurers on the side, and said indifferently: "This is Blackstone Town, if you want to make trouble, I have the right to imprison you...... Until death. ”
As soon as the words fell, a cold aura suddenly emerged from all around, as if surrounded by death.
