Chapter 269: An Unexpected Visitor

La Calera was the capital of the county of Samuel, and as a powerful local nobleman, he had not had a good time lately.

In the eyes of the lord of the capital, it should be regarded as a typical poor country, and the only thing worth looking forward to is probably that as the first decent territory near the kingdom of Rags, the border trade is relatively prosperous, and at least seventy percent of the income in his earl's palace also depends on the taxes of border commerce.

Due to the unstable internal political situation since last winter, the Lagos merchants who have recently chosen to come here have dropped sharply, and this year's tax revenue seems to be very problematic, and life has suddenly become very difficult.

But it seems that recently sometimes it has come to work, and not only the big merchant Cindy is still planning to continue the contract, even the bright pearl of the capital city of Heisler, Caroline. A. The people of Milan have chosen to vacation here, which is a great opportunity for politics.

This Lord Caroline, but the delicate daughter of a distant relative of the royal family, has the royal surname of Milan, although the direct line does not have much connection, and there is no right to inherit the throne, but her father, Duke Harold, is a big man who even the princes have to give face, as the lord of the county, young and beautiful, quite wise, plus a noble surname, Caroline has many suitors in the country.

Such a character chooses to come to his own territory, and while Count Samuel is full of joy, he is also beating a drum in his heart, for fear of accidentally offending the other party, then it will be fun.

So, the Earl invited the best cooks and theatre troupes in the realm. A grand welcome banquet was held at his residence. The nobles and squires of the surrounding counties were invited. also invited the gold lord from the east by the way, and even suffered some criticism.

In the eyes of the aristocracy, association with merchants may be profitable, but it is definitely not suitable for the table, after all, it is only "the purchase and sale of inferior people." ”

And I, as the head of the foreign financier, was also very happy to attend the banquet.

Well. It's just that I'm happy to be able to get new information, and I'm definitely not happy to be able to eat and drink for free.

Well, I admit that the spicy noodle soup in the flavor of Bayer is very good for my taste, the apple pie in the New Year is very fresh and delicious, even the spices on the skewers of barbecue are also in place, and the Alitong grilled chicken thighs are super flavorful, plus the pudding is delicious, and the red wine is not low......... I've been out of the birds along the way, and I won't have a chance to meet in the future anyway, so you can point fingers.

I drooled, and I swallowed it. My countryman has entered the city, whatever you say. Forget about face or something, let's fill your stomach first.

Those who had been looking at the archmage's robe and were going to come to chat, seeing the appearance of this starving ghost reincarnation, they simply gave up, even Cindy shook her head, giving up the plan to introduce the dignitaries, and since no one bothered, I was happy to enjoy a rare sumptuous dinner, until the protagonist of the dinner party attended, I had to stop.

When the county lord appeared outside the door, he attracted everyone's attention.

I won't talk about the jewels or anything, after all, it is still a big family in the capital, and the temperament and facial features are above the passing line, but when everyone politely put down the wine glass in their hands, in order not to attract too much attention, I can only follow along, and helplessly put down the pudding cake in my mouth.

"Hey, what a big show, look at that family emblem, is he really a county lord?"

Beauty or something, I've seen a lot of it a long time ago, not to mention the county lord, the princess is not worth anything, but the entourage behind her is very surprising to me - it's actually a lively and jumping lich.

Anyone else may not be able to tell the difference between a skeleton mage, a skeleton soldier, and a lich, but to me, the lich's soul fire is like a light in the dark midnight.

"This is Lord Rex, and he is also the minister who was ordered by the emperor to tour the world. He represents the will of His Majesty Oros. ”

Well, it looks like I've accidentally crossed over to a fairy tale and used the Lich as a Traveling Minister? Am I crazy, or am Oros crazy.

But how noble the identity of the emperor's will agent is, and there is a noble county lord to introduce him, coupled with the rumors that he has heard before, even if he is not long-sighted, the hairy boy knows what to choose, not to mention the local nobles who are rolling on the political stage every day.

The applause and cheers continued, the lord Samuel took the lead in expressing his welcome, the nobles and lords continued to fart, and even a few famous young courtesans habitually threw out winks, and then found that the situation was not right, the lich seemed to stare at people with an expression of 'you are teasing me', and quickly lowered his head to eliminate his sense of existence.

And I, hearing that the lich had actually become a messenger representing the king's power, was even so surprised that I almost choked up, and hurriedly drank two sips of the century-old Omto red wine to suppress the shock.

Afterwards, I learned that this was part of the plan of the undead emperors, in order to completely eat Baier, they laid out in units of a hundred years, and now, it is time to harvest, and in order to consolidate their "authority", let the nobles of the capital take high-level undead to tour various territories, and establishing authority is one of the parts.

"You see, even the great nobles of the capital have recognized the high-ranking undead as the nobles of the nobles, what are you worried about?" Eliminate the resistance of humans to the upper echelons of the undead as much as possible, and avoid any accidents when the plan is carried out, which is probably what they wanted.

But this is obviously limited, with the pressure of His Majesty the Emperor, it is still possible to accept some undead nobles, but if it is found that the upper echelons of the kingdom have been ruled by the undead, I am afraid that the country has also come to an end, perhaps, it is the spread of this information that makes the Templar Church make up its mind to "eradicate evil".

But I'm afraid that the undead will be relieved for now, and as for the future, they will be exposed...... When the undead emperors have arrived, even if they are exposed.

If the appearance of this "protagonist" is only the first show of the evening, then the lord who has just come from the capital whispers softly in the ear of Count Samuel. And when he pointed at Cindy. I had a vague guess that the god of doom was on me again.

"The Pope...... Heterodox. "Engagement!" "Enemy ......", "seizure", "enrichment". ”

Twenty legendary perceptions. My five senses were beyond mortal acumen, and the mischievous wind brought these words to my ears, and finally Samuel's expression changed from astonishment and disbelief, to contemplation, to joy, and I knew what to choose.

"Damn, it's fun, maybe I should really go to the temple of the god of fate and worship God."

But at this time. It's too late.

"Come on, take down those spies!"

It seems that Count Samuel has figured it out and made a conclusion, and in fact there is no need to hesitate at all, since the two countries have entered a state of war, and in the foreseeable years, there should be no merchants to deal with, then, it is better to eat all the goods at present, this is a real immediate benefit.

Why eat the goods? When the two countries are at war, what do you still run for? Isn't this a clear spy, I have detained all the goods. If you are a person, you will release the person if you give the ransom, and if you don't give it, you will withhold it.

What if relations between the two countries ease? Relaxation is not afraid, can these foreign businessmen still take revenge? When the time comes, there will be a new fat sheep sent to the door, and if the other party goes on the road, the ransom given is enough, and it is not impossible to continue to cooperate.

And at that moment, it was not only Samuel who figured out this qiē, but Cindy was not a fool, such a plot happened as early as expected, and when the word "spy" came out, he took out a scroll from his sleeve without hesitation, and then tore it open.

The five-ring arcane random dimensional gate, because it was too sudden, the action was too fast, and even the lich didn't have time to intercept it, and Cindy had been randomly teleported to within three kilometers of the surroundings.

It seems that this is the hole card he used to escape, and he is also ready to be activated.

"I'm going to go, Uncle Cindy, have you forgotten something? Don't bring such a pit to your teammates. ”

Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at me, and when the protagonist ran away, my supporting role was automatically upgraded.

"Well, I said I wasn't in the same league as him, do you believe me?"

"Arrest that guy!" ――

"Well, that's how it happened."

"So you didn't hesitate to bring all your pursuers? Aren't you just a pit teammate? ”

The dead cat, who had just taken refuge in a grove, roared at me, and the loss of the souvenirs she had just collected made her feathers.

"Isn't it just a lich? Wouldn't it be over if you just killed it, and ran like this? ”

“…… Do you think a lich is gone, and there will be more trouble in the future? Besides, I'm just a Golden Tier now, single-handedly taking on a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers and legendary lichs, do you think it's possible? ”

"Do you dare to touch your conscience to say such a thing? You can't handle a lich? ”

The weakest lich is legendary, but judging from the strength of the magic fluctuation and soul fire, the lich Rex is also the legendary cap, and it is also a parallel legend that was forcibly raised by external forces.

Although after the legendary, the intelligent undead are generally stronger than the human professions of the same level, but with my knowledge of necromancy alone, the ordinary legendary lich is really not difficult.

Especially that guy seems to be in addition to necromancy, majoring in ice magic, and even playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong, it is not difficult to clean it up, but I don't move him, but I have other considerations.

Most of our pursuers in front of us are the lord's private soldiers, most of them are rookies of the black iron rank, if we really want to fight back, whoever goes is the same, but it's just that I suppressed the members of the mercenary group and asked them not to startle the snake, but unfortunately, although I really want to go their own way to live in peace, the other party still seems to be unyielding.

There was a ventilated message from the people, and in this environment where everyone was an enemy, the pursuers quickly pursued and killed again.

"Catch that mage, or the lord will tear us apart."

"Bastard! Is that guy really a mage? How can you run so much. ”

"Don't mention it, Ah San was knocked away by his staff, and it was still embedded in the wall, that guy definitely has ogre blood."

"Let's chase it, this time the lord is very popular enough, if we chase it and lose it, none of us will have a good time."

Hearing the discussion behind me, Xiaohong, who was already a little irritable, looked at me with a surprised face, as if asking me what I had done.

"I didn't do anything, but since I couldn't fight the enemy, I took hostages and escaped. Probably that lord felt that he had lost face in front of the beautiful county lord, and he couldn't hang it. ”

“…… I think it's the wrong way you hijacked, first you should use a knife, not a chicken leg around the hostage's neck. Secondly, I found that I took the wrong one, and I shouldn't make a mistake, so I ate the chicken leg in one bite, took the chicken bone, and shouted at the main artery of others, 'Don't come here, come over again, I will poke him to death with the chicken bone.'" ’”

"The Count who was almost poked to death by a chicken bone? I think when the news spreads, he'd really rather be poked to death by you. ”

It's really troublesome to have a like-minded pet, especially if she seizes the opportunity to dismantle the table for you, don't you want to use a dinner knife when I do, who knows if it's the wrong one.

"By the way, not only that, but later he also hated the other party for arguing and put the pudding ...... Woooooo ”

Without hesitation, he shoved the last chicken leg of the stock into the dead cat's mouth, and it was finally quiet.

“…… If I'm not miscalculated, maybe this is an opportunity. Well, let's go and fight with the uncles first, and I still have to recover my mental loss fee. ”

"Don't change the subject! We're looking forward to the follow-up! How the hell did you escape with a chicken leg? ”

"Don't mention the chicken legs!"

"What about the pudding?" (To be continued......)
