Volume 1 Outpost Chapter 9 Purification
The second time, a large group of melon-eating people gathered in front of the ancient castle, and the water around this place was impassable, and everyone looked at the gloomy ancient castle, pointing and whispering.
At sunrise today, a strange notice was posted in the market in Outpost County.
The content of the proclamation is simple: the great, kind, benevolent, and noble Lord of the Outpost, the son of the Grand Duke of the Kingdom, Lord Baron Allen, will cleanse the evil Hellblack Dragon Egg in front of the castle in front of the castle in public at noon, and all the subjects of the outpost who come to the castle to witness this great moment will be exempted from paying the church taxes and three copper coins --------- the Governor's Office of the Outpost County indefinitely.
In the past, the numb civilians were boiling, and they ran to tell each other in disbelief, and even some bold people ran to the front of the church to inquire, but the pastor of the church neither admitted nor denied it, but only showed disdain and contempt.
Nearly 1,000 people from the outpost county put down their farming tools, tied up their ponies, and gathered in groups in front of the castle with snacks and small wooden benches with their families.
At noon, Allen, dressed in a tight-fitting evening gown, with a mace on his shoulder, and a dragon's egg in his hands, walked out of the castle and stopped at the stone table in the garden.
"God bless you, Lord Baron!"
"Your Lordship is merciful."
"Salute to the nobles...
The chaotic courtesy greetings sounded very perfunctorily.
In addition to watching the lively civilians, many mercenaries in the crowd who were obviously dressed in other places ignored Allen, staring at the dragon egg with expressionless eyes without blinking.
Guarded by several church knights, Wood slowly walked to the castle gates.
At his signal, a knightly retinue knocked on the castle gate.
Alan pretended not to see it, and Yorkshire behind him looked down at his toes.
Wood, who was left out of the gate, snorted coldly and looked at the waste lord not far away with disdain.
Purify the dragon's egg, repeal the civilian tax law, who do you think you are? It's just a nonsense aristocratic scrap.
Wood couldn't wait to see Allen's embarrassment in public, although he didn't know why this waste lord was not negatively affected by the dragon egg, but he knew that unless the twelve cardinals made a move or a holy order magician descended from the sky, no one else could purify this dragon egg, if it was really that simple, why should the shaman priest of Beamon ask the Holy See for help.
Although it is only a young egg laid by the Hell Black Dragon, it is an extremely powerful Hell Black Dragon crystal, and it is impossible for a waste person who can't even release primary magic to completely purify the negative power inside and kill the evil creatures inside the egg.
There are many people who think the same way as Wood.
Among the commoners, who are a little kinder, they are grateful to the lord for abolishing the commoners' tax law, but at the same time, they have some doubts and doubts.
The people who were exiled to the outpost didn't care about the so-called civilian tax law, and they wouldn't hand over the copper plate of the church themselves anyway, so they didn't have any money to avoid the tax law.
As for the remaining unscrupulous mercenaries, they all want to see how the famous scrap nobles of the Rock Kingdom make a fool of themselves in public, or find an opportunity to snatch the dragon egg and escape.
Alan placed the dragon egg on the table and pressed his hands down like a great man.
Should the people who eat melons shout or shout, and they don't give him face at all.
"The light of the Father is everywhere." Wood whispered softly.
Like a basin of hot water covering the ice and snow, the civilians in the crowd, at first one or two, and then in groups, as if they were infected, all closed their mouths, lowered their heads in awe, and stopped making noise.
Alan rolled his eyes, and a very vulgar word appeared on his lips.
With his hands rolled up in a trumpet flower, Alan shouted: "Men of the Outpost County, Baron, I have been in a good mood these days, ah no, I heard the call of the Holy Father, sacrificed myself and took a huge risk, in front of you to purify this incomparably evil dragon egg, so as to make an agreement with the church, if the purification is successful, you will not have to pay taxes to the church in the future, how about it, are you happy?" Surprise or not? ”
The civilians looked at each other.
Alan glanced at Yorkshire behind him reproachfully, damn it, what about the good thing he said before.
"Would you like to give us some applause?" Eren spoke again.
The civilians were confused.
"Rely on your uncle." Alan scolded: "Lao Tzu spent half a day doing things for you, why are you here to see the excitement?" ”
"Good!" An angry voice suddenly sounded: "Your Excellency the Baron, great, good." ”
Then another voice rang out, shouting very weakly: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, that, great." ”
Alan patted his head, he felt that Yorkshire's work was really unreliable, and this special blind person could see that it was a delay in advance.
"Bang" Alan smashed the mace on the stone table in annoyance, pointed to the egg of the evil dragon and shouted: "The egg of the evil dragon, laid by the black dragon of hell in another world, the egg is surrounded by incomparable negative power, and there are a bunch of fools in the county. ”
Dozens of outsiders dressed as samurai in the crowd, with unnatural expressions, touched the saber at their waist.
"Egg-grabbing? Rob your girl with a big watermelon. Alan grabbed the mace and smashed it on the black dragon's egg, the barbs on the mace were shattered, and the magic patterns on the egg kept flickering, and large cracks appeared.
Dina was dressed in a tight maid outfit and walked to Allen's side with a large iron pot with a nonchalant face.
"Smack!" Alan held the egg in both hands and slammed it on the edge of the iron pot, and the dark golden egg liquid flowed into the iron pot with a dazzling luster.
Pulling out two silver chopsticks from his arms, the lord began to stir quickly in the form of a veteran cook.
Dina crouched down and lit the firewood that had been prepared.
The melon-eating masses were dumbfounded.
Wood and the Church Knight were dumbfounded.
The field mercenaries were dumbfounded.
"No!" Wood roared and rushed to the gates of the castle, but the gates were already locked, and several knights drew their swords and began to slash the gates.
Dozens of mercenaries dressed as samurai struggled to push through the crowd, drew their weapons and confronted several other church knights, while staring at their opponents, they anxiously glanced at the lord who was a guest cook.
Alan ignored it, put the iron pot on the firewood and looked at the gate of the castle with a cruel smile.
Wood was like an old king who had bumped into his wife's cheating, and at this time he couldn't care about his appearance anymore, and sat on the ground with dull eyes and a desperate face.
The iron pot was soon burned red, and a burst of fragrant fragrance caused Dina to swallow for a while.
Alan stretched out his silver chopsticks again, and inserted all the fried dragon eggs in the pot into his mouth with three strokes and five divisions.
After burping, Alan looked at the silent crowd and roared: "Get out, Lao Tzu is purified." ”
Countless people looked at the lord who turned to leave, and was speechless for a long time.
Outside the gate, the mercenaries put away their weapons and quietly left.
The church knights lifted Wood up with a puzzled expression.
Yorkshire, who was trembling all over, felt that if he returned to the royal city in the future, the Grand Duke might directly peel off his skin.
At this time, Allen, who returned to the house, had red eyes, "plopped", and fainted to the ground.
The old butler, who walked down the stairs tremblingly on crutches, had a ghostly look on his face, and the expressions on his face were varied.
