The ninth son of the owner of the Eastern Crown stood on the tower and watched the adventurers go away. It is said that it is a tall tower, in fact, it is only a third of the tall tower on the continent at most, it looks like a slender fortress rather than a tower, it is not that the lords are unwilling to make them more beautiful, the problem is that the Dragonfire Islands are still an island no matter how rich they are, although they are located in the center of the ridge of the island to avoid the direct impact of the tide, hurricanes are inevitable, so the base of the tower is always nearly twice as large as the land tower, and it is reinforced with magically generated plants, and before laying the base, the bones of thousands of young and beautiful slaves are laid out。

This practice has been practiced for a long time, and no one can say that it was the whim of the master, anyway, no matter how you dig up every building in the Dragonfire Islands, you will find a lot of bones under the pedestal, such as the lord's or the lord's son's fortress and palace, in addition to the bones and resentful spirits, they hired gray robes, and the necromancers were able to ensure that these slaves would be unaware and relentless to their masters, even after death, until "them" After consuming all the meager energy, it turned into a vague shadow that shattered and dissipated in a muffled cry.

"Do you think they noticed my little joke?"

The ninth son asked with interest.

The person he questioned stood straight (very rarely), and bowed only slightly, more than nothing, when questioned about him: "Of course, there are spellcasters among them, and if a spellcaster didn't even notice such details, he would have died a long time ago." ”

The Ninth pursed his lips and smiled, in fact there was a thief who noticed that his face was a little worse than the others, but he didn't say anything, why bother, the caster always favored his own kind, this was the consensus of all who could come into contact with the casters. Regardless of the white, black, red, and gray robes, the kings are not kings - but in their subconscious, even an apprentice is more worthy of respect than a mortal, and the spellcaster is not his—only four lords on the Dragonfire Islands can have mages, warlocks, or priests, and the lord's son and other minor lords can only hire them for a short time, and they need to ask the lord for permission, otherwise they will be considered rebellious.

So. What if a lord's son is a mage himself?

Thinking of his seventh brother, the ninth son of the lord couldn't help but reveal a trace of jealousy, Beavis was the first spellcaster in the Dragonfire Islands to have the status of the lord's son in hundreds of years, his talent was discovered early, so he didn't need to compete with others for the ranking, his brother and brother were swapped I don't know how many, only he always sat in the position of the seventh son, and their father always doted on him.

However, this favor changes slightly in the later stages, perhaps due to the fact that the casters are dangerous and ...... to mortals Noble relationship. Although Beavis has the status of the seventh son, even if he is an adult, he is not able to live on his own island like the sons of other lords, but leaves him in the eastern crown, his own palace, which can be said to be a kind of honor and surveillance.

Every year when the ninth son returns to the Eastern Crown, he goes to the palace to meet his father and master, and he is very similar to the Eastern Crown, but only in appearance. Inside, he was a cowardly and stupid man who rarely punished slaves. Not even willing to "play" with them, perhaps this is the source, so that no one finds it strange after he escapes with a half-elf slave who has just arrived in the Dragonfire Islands, including the lord.

But the Ninth Son must admit that Beavis was indeed a very lucky fellow, and how much his status as a spellcaster brought him much - you know, the laws of the four major islands of the Dragonfire Islands were made by their respective lords. The details vary, but only a few of the slaves are absolutely unchanging, and to the people of the Dragonfire Islands these laws are as eternal as the sun always appears in the day and the stars always rise in the night - the most well-known one is that the slaves of the Dragonfire Islands are always slaves of the Dragonfire Islands, and they are not allowed to leave the islands if they escape alone. Lords will hire and send soldiers and even spellcasters to retrieve them, and a long and terrible torture and humiliation await them, and if anyone helps them, even if they only see them or find their tracks without warning, that person will become a slave like him, whether that person is a commoner, a merchant, or the son of a lord.

According to the lord who made this law, since someone is willing to sympathize with and help a slave, then of course he can also become a slave, since he is willing to be so self-serving.

The only people who escaped this law were Beavis, and his slave wife, and the ninth son knew that their master and father had sent a considerable fortune to the son, who was supposed to be a slave. The seventh island, which was supposed to be given to him, was not given to any of the lord's sons, but was managed by the owner of the Eastern Crown.

The Ninth Son knew very well that this might just be to prevent any of them from gaining a power that might throw the entire Eastern Crown out of balance, but he still felt uncontrollably jealous.

His brother should be like this, otherwise how could a gray robe suddenly appear in the city of Rosada?

Beavis's slave wife and slave son died a tragic death, and Beavis died, but the flame hidden in the heart of the ninth son remained unquenched, especially when his master and father asked him to meet Beavis's disciples.

Yes, he could barely control himself, and in the end the malice turned into a joke - he could have sent other eunuchs (though also his younger brothers) to meet them, but he sent his twin brother - the wretched creature whom he had taken of his position and power, and as the most important symbol of men - Thinking that Dada had joined forces to kill the original ninth son, and everyone was gathered together, counted and identified, and when the dust had settled, he cast a merciful look at him, and his brother quietly promised that he would treat him well, of course, he would also treat Dada, Dada brought him a lot of joy, just reminiscing about his father's eunuch (that is, their former uncle) announcing that he was the ninth son, and Dada's frightened expression and terrible shouts when Dada was the tenth son could make him laugh at any time.

As for those who were horrified to discover that the people he tortured and whipped had the same face, that was another form of entertainment. (To be continued.) )
