Chapter 321: Chess Fall [Two in One]
It was already curfew time outside, and Dudian sped along the streets, relying on his keen hearing to avoid the parade soldiers in advance, and came to the wilderness, marching at full speed, and it didn't take long to come to a small town on the outskirts, which was a dilapidated town, and the soldiers on duty led the meager money, chatting and dozing off at the gate of the town, and after the curfew, at most, they were too lazy to care.

Du Dian came to the last butcher's house, put on a mask, still bought an iron-backed fat pig, the butcher's family is a middle-aged man, has long recognized Du Dian , he was not surprised to see him dressed like this, suspected of being a thief, and politely handed over the iron-backed pig slaughtered in advance to Du Dian politely, during which his youngest son did not sleep, came out to see Du Dian and screamed in fright, he was scolded back, his wife immediately took the child into the room, closed the door, only a low whisper came out, ordinary people could not hear, But it can't escape Dudian's ears.
Du Dian listened to his wife's words while trading, and saw that he was not talking about himself behind his back, so he was relieved, put the iron-backed pig on his back in a thick sack, and turned to leave, the power shown by this action made the middle-aged butcher feel deeply in awe, and he remembered Du Di'an's admonition more and more, and did not dare to expose the matter of the transaction between the two, after all, if this matter spread, he himself would have to suffer the crime.
Du Dian followed the river outside the town, left the town from the side, did not see the patrolling soldiers along the way, after entering the wilderness, he quickly went to the fortress that he had repeatedly smuggled through, today was different from usual, from a distance, there was obviously a more team of soldiers on the fortress, and the smell of different people was much stronger, Du Dian observed for a moment, found the gap, and climbed over the wall with ease.
Once he was smuggled out of the fortress, Doody immediately walked along the wilderness to the dilapidated building.
When he arrived in the basement of this building, Dudian immediately saw the little splinter locked in the tungsten steel cage, and the latter also saw him, and suddenly stood up from his sleeping position, and the sickle arm of his whole body touched the tungsten steel cage, clanging, like countless sword strikes.
Dudian pulled out his dagger and, as usual, cut the ironback pig into several pieces and threw it at it.
The little Splitter looked at the ironback pig that had thrown it in, and enjoyed it with joy, and before long the whole ironback pig was in its belly, and when it had eaten, it sat down again to rest, as if it knew that there would be no more food.
Dudian was a little happy to see that it didn't roar at him, now he didn't carry the Splitter's plasma shell, he didn't have any scent of the Splitter, but the little Splitter seemed to know him, even if he was close to the cage, it didn't provoke its aggression.
Du Dian smiled slightly, sat on the edge of the cage and chatted with it for a few words, although he knew that it could not understand, but because of this, he could open his heart and say his inner words without scruples.
In this bleak night, in this barren mountain and dilapidated house, a man and a beast whispered and confided.
After half an hour, Dudian said goodbye to the little Splitter, turned away, blocked the hole outside the basement, and left the dilapidated house, going in the other direction, to the rented death passage.
In the middle of the passage leading to the giant wall, there is also a fortress, guarded by knights under the command of the Holy See of Light, to prevent hunters from smuggling into the city, after all, it is difficult to defend against the smuggling of hunters by relying on the military fortress alone, especially some hunters with special stealth abilities.
Dudian rushed to the fortress of light, stopped from a distance, took out a high-powered telescope and observed, everything was normal on the fortress, as if the destruction of the little fragment last time was just an illusion.
He hesitated, but gave up the idea of taking risks, turned around and left here, at this time, he felt the difficulty of being alone, if he had acquaintances in the Bright Sect, he could smuggle him over with just a greeting, and this point, other consortia have, this is the foundation.
After returning the same way, Dudian walked diagonally to another fortress, which was the Knight's Fortress that had been breached by the wildlings.
After more than an hour of full speed on the road, he arrived in front of the Cavalry Fortress, and along the way, he could vaguely encounter some scattered groups of savages, marching in the direction of the Cavalry Fortress late at night.
Dudian did not attack, although he couldn't find any information about the savages in the library, and he didn't know much about the savages, but he didn't have to think about it to know that the spoken language of the savages was not the same as the language in the fortress, and it was difficult to torture anything.
When he came to the cavalry fortress ten kilometers away, Du Dian had already smelled a strong smell of blood wafting from the grassland, pungent and choking, it is not difficult to imagine how many soldiers were sacrificed in the war during the day, how much blood was shed, he sneaked into about eight miles, here can already see a fortress outline in the distance, only to see one of the tall city walls was breached, collapsed, there are many hazy black figures shaking, along the gap into the fortress.
Du Di'an's eyes flashed, but he didn't expect that until late at night, the military headquarters had not snatched the fortress back, and he had not heard the sound of snare drums and battles, could it be that the military department had abandoned this fortress?
"Behind this is the plain, the living zone leading to the commercial district, where the nobility and wealthy merchants live, and the military headquarters should make the final defense on the wall at the living quarters, and once that wall is breached, the savages will be like wolves into the flock, and the casualties will be uncountable." Du Di'an's eyes flashed, although with the background of the military department, it should be able to hold on, but the savages should not be underestimated, no matter what, before this war started, the first to die was the nomadic civilians living on the plain leading to the city wall of the living area, although there are only some scattered villages on this plain, and economically backward towns, but the population is at least tens of thousands, if the military department does not counterattack at the first time in this cavalry fortress, it means that the residents of this plain have been abandoned by the military department.
Du Dian was thoughtful, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned around and left quietly.
After smuggling into the fortress along the same route, when Dudian returned to the hotel, it was already early in the morning, and he woke up the coachman and went directly to the temple.
Du Dian went straight to the Divine Magic Temple, bought another hundred catties of the three materials from yesterday, and found another item at the same time, and said, "How much does it cost to exchange this for gold coins?" ”
The person behind the trading desk was still the same young man as before, although Du Dian was wearing a mask, he still recognized it, and even said politely: "At your discount rate, if you exchange a drop, it will only cost ten gold coins." ”
Du Dian immediately said, "Give me two bottles." ”
The young man was slightly stunned and said with a wry smile: "With your permission, you can only purchase a thousand drops at a time, and there is only one bottle." ”
Du Dian frowned and said, "Okay, then let's have a bottle first." ”
The corners of the young man's mouth twitched slightly, and this tone sounded like buying horse wine, but he knew that Du Dian had just recently researched a new magic technique, and he was not short of this money, so he said, "Okay, you fill in the form first, and I'll apply for you." ”
Dudian filled out the form, handed over the money, and turned to leave.
Riding in a carriage to the Thirteen Divine Castle, Du Dian got off at the door, asked the coachman to wait for him, and just came to his own god building, he was stopped by the temple staff who were guarding here, "Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Du Dian ?" ”
Dudian nodded.
"This is an invitation letter for you." The temple clerk respectfully handed over a letter.
Du Dian was surprised, took it and looked at it twice, there was no signature on it, he didn't open it on the spot, after entering the Divine Building, he opened the letterhead again, took out the letter paper and glanced at it twice, and understood, this is the letter inside the Thirteen Divine Castles, inviting him to participate in the Divine Arts Seminar of the March Gathering within the Thirteen Castles, the date is three days later, and the invitation letter was sent three days in advance, most of which is also to give the divine envoys a buffer time, so as not to delay the creation of the divine arts too suddenly.
Dudian put away the letter, picked up a large bag of letterhead on the ground, and turned to leave, ready to return to the castle and slowly open it.
……
……
Lane Castle, 2nd floor.
The three young figures came to Fulint's study and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and it was Sandru who opened the door, and in the past two years, Fulin arranged the middle-aged maid to the hall on the grounds of age and inconvenience of his legs, and Sandru himself was in charge of his daily life.
"Here we are." Sandru smiled when he saw the three men.
The three of them were flattered and said, "I've seen the young patriarch." ”
Sandru smiled and invited the three of them into the house.
In the study, Fulin sat on the rattan chair, looked at the three of them with a smile, and said: "Your friend, Dean has sent a letter, asking you to come over to help, he is short of manpower now, you have been here for so long, the basic etiquette, preferences, rules, as well as various clothing brands and luxury items of the nobles, have all taken you to see, and now Dean needs you, I hope you will assist him well." ”
These three people were none other than the three of Barton, and when they heard Flin's words, the three of them nodded again and again.
Fulin smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead, say hello to him on my behalf." ”
"Yes." Barton agreed.
The three of them left the study, went downstairs together, and left in the carriage of the Lane family, in the carriage, the three of them were full of excitement, and Barton lowered his voice and said, "We can finally do something big with Dean." ”
"Hmm." Joseph grinned and said, "I have been living in this noble house for a long time, and I am not feeling well, and I will follow Dean in the future, so we can't call him Dean anymore, so as not to beat our old bottom." ”
"Well, in the future, we will call him Mr. Du, or Young Master, although we came out with him, but without Dean, there would be no life for the three of us today, before the change, I couldn't think that silk was used to make rags, milk was used to wash faces, a small stone, it was worth hundreds of thousands of copper coins, compared to now, our previous life was simply pig raising." Kroon's face lit up.
Barton smiled and said, "You're wrong, the pigs here eat much better than ours, and they have meat." ”
Joseph laughed and said: "Dean, oh no, it should be called the young master, he said that he will take us to do a great career in the future, and now he is already a high-level divine envoy of the Elemental Temple, and he reports every day, he is simply a dazzling figure like a pearl, we really didn't choose the wrong one, follow him, and we will have a good life in the future." ”
Kroon smiled and said, "You can't run away from a good day, but don't forget, what was the reason why the young master brought us here in the first place?" The first is to trust us, the second is that we have a clean foundation, a little person, it is convenient to do some things, the first few times the young master asked us to do, but it is all those things, and it is estimated that the same will be true in the future, once you make a mistake, you can ......"
Barton's expression was solemn, and he said seriously: "What we are doing is something unseemly, if it is exposed, arrested, and death cannot implicate the young master, without him, there would be no us today, and there would be no me Patton!" ”
Joseph and Kroon looked at each other and patted him on the shoulder, and Kroon said, "Look at what you said, are we the kind of people who would betray our brothers?" ”
Barton's expression softened, and he said, "Of course I understand you, don't talk about this, it's almost there, be careful when you speak." ”
"Hmm." Joseph nodded, "He should be watched by all sides now, and there are probably a lot of other consortiums outside the castle where he lives." ”
……
……
"Young master, three people came, saying they wanted to see you." Nicotine into the house reports.
Du Dian was opening the letterhead one by one and said casually, "Let them in." ”
"Yes." Nicotine turned away, and after a moment turned back, followed by the three Bartons.
Du Dian stopped seeing half of the letter in his hand, looked up at the three of them, they hadn't seen them for a long time, the three of them had obvious changes, their bodies were no longer timid and cowardly as before, they looked down and generous, and their clothes were more plain, but they had a temperament, at first glance, it was difficult to associate them with the "ghetto", but if you looked closely, you could still see the defects on the three people, such as the tiny lump of flesh on Patton's neck, which was an obvious change caused by radiation, like Kroon, whose left hand only grew to the elbow, and half of the sleeve was empty, Persons with disabilities.
Du Dian knew that the nicotine next to him should have noticed this, he looked calm, and said to the three of them: "It's been a long time, sit down." ”
Although the three of Patton knew that Du Dian had the same background as them, but now that they saw that the temperament of the latter made the three of them a little restrained, it was difficult to call him by his name as before, Patton answered, sat on the chair next to him, and said to Du Dian ...... Master, what do you have to do with the three of us? ”
Du Dian glanced at him, did not correct his title, but was quite satisfied, of course, this is not his vanity, but from this small matter, it can be seen that the three of them have indeed grown up, their personalities are much more cautious, and they did not recklessly expose their closeness to each other, and immediately said: "Barton, do you believe in the Holy See of Light?" ”
Barton was slightly stunned, not understanding why Du Dian asked why, glanced at the nicotine next to him, and said honestly: "Half-believed......"
When Du Dian heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and the nicotine next to him also showed a smile, and at the same time turned his head to look at Du Dian curiously, only to see Du Dian smile and say, "From now on, you will believe in the Holy See of Light." ”
"Huh?" Barton blinked, a little confused.
Dudian smiled, "I mean, you enter the Holy See of Light and become a knight within the Holy See of Light. ”
Barton was stunned and said embarrassedly: "Young master, I also want this, but they won't want me, I'm ......"
"I'll take care of this." Dudian smiled, "You are only responsible for serving the Holy See of Light wholeheartedly after entering the Holy See of Light." ”
Barton came to his senses, "Young Master, are you going to place me in the Holy See of Light and serve you inside?" ”
Du Dian shook his head slightly, "You just need to do what I say, and be wholeheartedly loyal to the Holy See of Light, you don't need to think about anything else, and you won't know me again, understand?" ”
Barton was a little dazed, as if he understood, but as if he didn't understand, he wanted to ask, hesitated and held back, and said, "I know." ”
Du Dian nodded with satisfaction and said to Joseph next to him, "What about you, do you want to be a mighty general?" ”
Joseph was stunned and said in amazement: "Young master, do you want me to enter the military department?" ”
"Clever." Dudian smiled, "Like Patton, you have developed well in the military department, and you have forgotten me since then, you just need to think about how to be a good general." ”
Joseph and Barton looked at each other, a little dazed, but nodded, "Got it." ”
Dudian looked at the last Crumne, smiled slightly, and said, "You just follow me." ”
Kroon was slightly stunned, but nodded in response.
