Chapter 34: The World Is Small
"Today, it happens to be my tenth year as the lord of Iwaki Castle, and my subordinates said that they would celebrate this big day, so a banquet was held at the castle lord's mansion. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Sauls looked a little depressed.
"Those betrayers, taking advantage of this opportunity, secretly poisoned the food of the banquet, so that we lost most of our resistance power......"
"Ah...... By the way, I forgot to mention that Rock City is the name of my city-state," Sauls added, "and after...... My loyal subordinates and I resisted as best we could, but under the influence of the poison and repeated attacks from the enemy, we retreated, and then, as you can see, my wife and I, under the cover of our subordinates, used the hidden crystallized magic equipment to break through the space and barely escaped with teleportation. ”
"Is the poison so powerful, not even a powerful person like you can resist it?" asked Heras, as far as she knew, the magic in the powerful was strong, and ordinary medicine was a great way for them to resist it.
"It's a new poison developed specifically for the powerful, and it can corrode the magic in the body of the powerful, so that we can't concentrate on using the power...... That's what those betrayers say, if they weren't lying. ”
Saulse sighed.
"Now I can feel that the potency of the poison has completely disappeared, Lord Lin Yuan, your healing magic is more powerful than you imagined. ”
"It's natural," Lin Yuan didn't think there was anything strange, "My healing technique is not only to heal wounds, but even to replenish the body's lost blood, and your wife is so energetic as soon as she wakes up, that's why." ”
"I wonder why I'm in such good shape...... "Rona muttered quietly.
"So, why would someone betray you?" Lin Yuan's tone was full of curiosity, "Haven't you been in charge of the city-state for ten years?
“......... It's not domination, it's domination. ”
Saulse laughed self-deprecatingly.
"I used my power of pain to completely disintegrate the previous lord and his power, and then inflicted great pain on those who did not obey me, and made them submit...... Above the flesh, above the surface to yield...... As for what they think in their hearts, I can't control it......"
"Is this what is called repressive rule?"
Lin Yuan's relaxed tone made Sauls even more frustrated.
"That's not the main reason!Thor, you should know best!"
Rhona excitedly wrapped her arms around Sols.
"Those people are just disgusted with us who are not humans, they hate you who are protecting us, and they are jealous of you who govern the whole city-state in good order!
"Lorna ......"
With tears in his eyes, Sauls and his wife looked at each other affectionately.
I can't tell if it's pretending or real...... Lin Yuan inexplicably had the urge to slap these two people.
"Sols, are there many transhumans, like Lorna, in your city?"
Lin Yuan raised his voice and forcibly pulled back the attention of the two people who were staring.
"Not many, only about thirty," Sauls said, one hand intersecting five fingers with his wife, "they are all loyal to my subordinates, and even sacrificed their own lives to cover the two of us......"
"Because you saved our lives, Thor, don't forget that. Rhona said in a hoarse voice.
"Rescued? Looks like there's another story here, so can you tell me?"
Sols turned his head to look at Lin Yuan's leisurely expression, and after sighing in his heart, he briefly explained his past experience.
"About eleven years ago, when I had just been empowered to suffer, I was traveling around, and then passing through a certain place, I met a slave trader transporting slaves, and in those slave carts were Lorna and the Lorna. ”
Rhona squeezed Sols' hand hard.
"At first I was not going to be nosy, but when I saw that the people imprisoned in the slave cart had animal features, I couldn't help but be intrigued, and I was also bold at that time, and because I wanted to test the strength I had acquired, I launched an attack on the slave traders, and they were all killed by me very easily. ”
A small peaceful smile spread across Sauls' face.
"After that, we went through a lot of things, from the initial wariness of each other, to each other's hearts, Rona became my wife, and the others were more like close friends than my subordinates......"
Lin Yuan was very interested in their stories, but he didn't want to pay attention to their inner thoughts at all.
"Slaves? What are those magicians thinking about selling what should be precious reformed humans as slaves?"
“...... Because we are experiments, not successful, not failures," Rona said with a hint of hatred in her voice, "The group of madmen of the Vientiane Research Society have always wanted to create a new species of humans, and they can adapt to the new humans of the wizarding world, and the best way to deal with us half-finished products is to buy them for other rich people who have a taste for curiosity, so that we, half-beasts and half-human transformers, will become their playthings!"
“......... Huh?"
Lin Yuan didn't expect to hear a word he cared about here.
"Lorna, did you just mention the name of the Vientiane Research Society?"
"Is there a problem?" Rhona frowned.
"Your person in charge, it shouldn't be some kind of heterochromatic, right?"
"Heterochromic ...... No, it's someone else," Rona shook her head to deny Lin Yuan's conjecture, "the man who created us, that madman-like magician named Dr. Nayuta, is one of the leaders of the Vientiane Research Society in the magical world. ”
"Dr. Nayuta...... I've never heard of it. ”
Lin Yuan vaguely remembered that the name of the person who was on the Earth Alliance's wanted list did not have such a distinctive name on it.
"Forget it, it's okay anyway. ”
Lin Yuan quickly put aside the matter of the Vientiane Research Society.
"First of all, Sols, Rhona, what are you going to do next?" Lin Yuan asked with a serious expression as much as possible.
"If we can, we want to return to Rock City first," Sauls said with a solemn expression, "It's been less than half a day since the incident, maybe my men aren't all dead, and there is still a chance to rescue them!"
"Didn't you send a sheep into the tiger's mouth? You just escaped, and you want to go back to die?"
Lin Yuan unceremoniously struck Sols.
"And do you know where this is? This is the Williporia Prairie, and I don't know where it is, but if you're far south, how long will it take you to get back to the Chaos City-State?
"Even so, we can't pass up the opportunity!" Sols bit his lip hard, almost biting out blood, "Even if it's just to see their corpses, I'm going to see their end, and then ...... I must avenge them!"
"Just the two of you?" Lin Yuan smiled dumbly, "Can you do it?"
"I'm a powerful man, as long as I don't care about others and don't care about casualties, I can still take a city-state!" Sauls said firmly.
"Sols, have you forgotten a bit?"
Lin Yuan stretched out his index finger and pointed it at himself.
"You have now made a vow that you will obey me. ”
"But ......"
Lin Yuan waved his hand and interrupted Sols's words.
"I didn't say no, but I was going with you to the Chaos City-State. ”
Lin Yuan smiled very happily.
"Aren't you going to attack the city-state? I had this plan in the first place, and it seems good to push the plan forward a little now. ”
Sauls' eyes widened.
"You ......"
Lin Yuan grinned.
"Sols, use your power to speed up my plan. ”
