Chapter 121: The Seed of Disobedience
Arrow didn't know what the others thought.
At least in the present situation of slaughter, the president felt that the earl's laughter was a bit harsh.
However, this is also a matter for the count's own army.
After inspecting the demonic beast that was suppressed on the ground, Count Karp nodded with great satisfaction, stretched out his hand, and said, "Everyone, good job! Put this ugly monster in a cage in the back now, preferably faster. β
With the order of Count Karp, the soldiers who had not experienced the battle also began to act. Everything in the camp began to be in order again, running according to the Count's will.
But just as the earl nodded and turned to put his arms around his mistress, the graceful beauty whispered a few words in the earl's ear.
In an instant, the earl was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at the battlefield again, and his face suddenly fell-
"Wait a minute, someone will answer me! What about so many corpses here? Where have you all dealt with it? β
As the person in charge of this battle, the members of the Muppet Squad should naturally step forward and answer: "Back to Your Excellency, those comrades-in-arms...... All...... It's all buried on the spot......"
"Bury?!"
Hearing this, the anger on Count Karp's face rose all at once!
He waved his hand vigorously and said angrily, "Who told you to bury it?" How could the corpses of those warriors be buried like this?! Dig them all out for me! I'm going to bring them all back to my territory, and then find a good place to bury them!" β
The Muppet Squad member was visibly surprised, and after a moment of pause, he said, "Huh? Can...... But the Earl...... They...... It's already in the ground...... In this case...... That ......"
"Huh? Do you want to disobey me?! β
Count Karp showed a fierce expression, stretched out his hand and pointed firmly at the team member in front of him, and said sharply-
"You know, the Muppets have never disobeyed me! Don't you know what will happen to you if you disobey me?! β
Seeing that his lord was angry, the puppet member quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, lying on the ground and kowtowing to the earl, saying, "Please forgive the villain's incompetence!" Please give the villain another chance, and the villain will strictly abide by the orders of the Earl! β
After kowtowing several times in a row, the member heard that the earl did not mean to blame again, and quickly stood up and turned around and waved to the soldiers behind him, and shouted, "Didn't you hear? Hurry up! Dig up all the corpses! Don't miss a single one! It is a great honour for His Excellency the Earl to return them to their homeland! β
Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you.
The soldiers who followed the Count had not experienced the battle just now, so the psychological pressure was probably a little lighter now, and they also started to act under the orders of the Muppet members to find a place to bury.
But those soldiers who have already experienced a big battle, now you look at me, I look at you, and no one acts. There was a look of despair and indignation on everyone's face. It can be seen that their fists are also clenched, and the corners of their mouths are held, not daring to let their voices make the slightest sound.
A group of more than twenty people was still a large number, and Count Karp quickly noticed the motionless soldiers, covered in wounds and blood. When he saw the two soldiers of Whiskey and Polyester standing at the front of the crowd again, taking the lead and still looking at him with that annoying look, the original unhappiness for these two people was aroused again.
"You two, are you any unconvinced? Well, by the way, so be it, you two, tell me where those bodies are buried. And I give you this honor to be the first to dig up those corpses and load them in the car. Do you understand? β
Polyester couldn't breathe, his fists clenched, and his steps couldn't help but take a step towards the earl.
But he had just taken a step when Whiskey hurriedly reached out to stop him and shook his head slightly. The corners of Polyester's mouth twitched slightly, and the kick that had just been taken out was finally retracted.
"Oh, your Excellency, Earl!"
At this moment, Arrow suddenly stepped forward from the side, and said with a wistful smile-
"Congratulations to His Excellency the Earl for successfully capturing such a demonic beast! Presumably, when it reaches the capital, those nobles will also compete to praise the Earl's bravery, right? Well, that's right, after all, this is an absolutely rare magical beast, and being able to capture such a powerful magical beast in one fell swoop is enough to prove how wise and martial His Excellency the Earl is! β
The earl's ears were slightly pricked up, and the resentment on his face was now slightly relieved. He turned his head and looked at Arrow who was smiling below, then nodded and said, "Hahaha! Well, I remember you were ...... Are you the ...... That ......"
"Elo Garcia, the leader of the Mermaid Song Guild. His Excellency the Earl has a lot of opportunities, and it is normal that he does not have time to remember the name of my little man. β
As he spoke, Arrow gestured to Cream behind him, and Cream received it, and immediately walked over to the whiskey and polyester over there, pulling the two soldiers into the crowd and not looking so impulsive anymore.
"Your Excellency, in this battle of the Corpse Eater King, our Mermaid Song also exerted a little bit of insignificant strength. Well...... Of course, it cannot be compared with the brave command and wisdom of His Excellency the Earl. But with such a little effort, I wonder if I can get a little reward from the earl? β
For those who have always said good things about him and flattered him, Count Karp doesn't seem to mind much.
He was also a little happy to see such a young and beautiful boy as Arrow, and coupled with the fact that his goal had been accomplished, he was naturally relaxed: "Okay! You'll go get three gold coins later. β
Three...... Piece?
Even Arrow, his forehead can't help but burst a little with green tendons now.
It's a desperate effort, and there should be no corpse eaters in this cave for a long time after that, in this case, you only give three gold coins?
Arrow took a step forward, wanting to fight for his guild a little more.
But just as he took a step forward, Margaux, the mistress standing in the carriage on the other side, saw his action with very sharp eyes.
The woman's eyes rolled slightly, and she suddenly turned her head and grabbed Count Karp, who wanted to get out of the car and go to the tent to rest, and said in a snorting voiceβ
"You see, Lord Count, it is a matter of great disrespect to the dead to exhume the remains of those who have been buried in the earth. You see, your soldiers also have a little opinion because of these things. It seems to me that you, Your Excellency, are such a loving and popular earl, and should not bear such a stigma for nothing. In the future, if someone with good deeds smacks his tongue on this matter and makes up something unfavorable to His Excellency, it will be a loss to His Excellency's reputation. β
Count Karp was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, he immediately nodded: "Hmm...... That's right. So what should I do with my little beauty's thoughts? β
Margaux turned her head and looked at Arrow with a smile on her face: "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a necromancer in the Mermaid's Song, right?" Wouldn't it be enough to let that necromancer cast that cursed ugly magic and let the dead crawl out on their own? In this way, everyone will know that those corpses were all manipulated by this necromancer to get up, and have nothing to do with His Excellency the Earl. His Excellency the Earl merely moved the souls of those who died heroically to another place to be buried again in order to free them from being manipulated by the evil necromancer after the necromancer had desecrated the dead with his unclean magic. β
After listening to Margaux's words, Count Karp thought for a moment. I don't know if the fat head had corrected the idea in any way, but when his eyes swept over Margaux's proud figure again, he immediately agreed.
"Hey, merfolk song, did you hear that? Hurry up and get your filthy necromancer out to work! β
Margaux's words just now did not deliberately avoid Arrow.
And Arrow was also standing here silently, listening to all the conversations, directly facing the earl's orders.
From the "dirty necromancer" monstrity, Arrow could definitely tell the utter contempt and disrespect in the title.
He turned his head slightly, glancing at Coco behind him.
Coco, a twelve-year-old necromancer.
From the time the child first appeared in Pelican Town, Arrow could understand the girl's fear of her own magic.
He will never forget the fear in the hearts of the townsfolk when the undead soldier first appeared in front of the Pelicans. They looked at the skeleton as if they were looking at something in the depths of their souls that they hated most, as if it weren't something like fire or frost magic, but something more evil, more terrifying, and less deserving of this world!
And then, after a long, long time......
Arrow takes the grumbling little girl through the town, visiting the townspeople and getting them up close and personal with the undead soldiers.
It was only after they had fully felt the self-control, courtesy, and elegance of the undead soldier, and his chivalric demeanor that was definitely not inferior to that of any knight, and that the townsfolk began to feel that the undead soldier was more than capable of helping with the work......
This fear gradually dissipated. The townsfolk gradually came to recognize the necromancer.
It was also after that period of time that Coco gradually forgot about her curse as a necromancer and became cheerful again.
Can ...... now
One sentence -
Dirty necromancer ......?
