"Why?"

Li Yanbei looked straight at Aaron, and the chill in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Now his mood is a little out of control.

"Brand is barren to the point that most pony thieves can't look down on, why would a bandit group come and ransack this place, and kill Mayor Buku and Dr. Able. ”

The town of Brand has been reduced to rubble, and the castle of Baron Roy on the top of the hill is faintly smoking.

Li Yanbei was not in a hurry to return to the castle to check the losses, because he knew very well that even if there were mountains of gold and silver in his castle, he would never be able to get back the lives that had passed in Brand Town.

In addition to anger, he was confused.

Very confused.

Because he really couldn't understand why such a barren town would be attacked by bandits, considering that the town of Brand didn't even want to be visited by ordinary pony thieves.

The comprehensive strength and scale of the bandit group far exceed that of ordinary horse thieves, and there are generally fifth-order masters of dark power in charge. And why would a bandit group of such size and strength come to attack Brand?

Moreover, the Poison Fang Bandit Group is famous in the border area, with more than 300 members in the bandit group, and their leader Montas is a sixth-order intermediate powerhouse, and the two deputy commanders are also sixth-order junior masters. With such a huge organization, how could it be possible to look at the resources of this small town?

So there must be an unknown reason for this.

Aaron heard the names of Mayor Buku and Dr. Able, and the fear in his heart was replaced by sadness.

He looked at Li Yanbei blankly, and tears flowed down like this.

Aaron is one of the poor children in the town, and unlike others, he lost both of his parents at a young age. If it weren't for Dr. Abel and Mayor Buku's constant care, he would have been one of those starving streets on this continent.

He's growing up, and he's thinking about repaying Mayor and Dr. Able when he grows up, but now......

Crystal tears slid down Aaron's face, and the coldness in Li Yanbei's eyes gradually dissipated.

There was no comfort or persuasion, Li Yanbei knew that if a boy wanted to grow up, he must learn to bear it.

Even if it is an unforgettable pain, you must bear it silently.

He just reached out and touched Aaron's head, and his voice softened.

"Aaron, tell me. ”

Aaron wiped away his tears with his dirty sleeve, and his eyes suddenly filled with hatred.

"It's a prescription. ”

His fists clenched tightly, and Aaron clenched his teeth fiercely.

"They're here to snatch the prescription you left behind, Lord Baron!"

"Prescription?"

His shoulders trembled violently, and Li Yanbei's pupils instantly contracted.

"This prescription for the plague has been announced to the world, why are they still here to snatch it!"

Aaron gritted his teeth, full of hatred.

When they heard that Lord Medica had appeared in Brand and had left a prescription for the plague, they thought that Lord Medic must have left some other precious prescription, so they attacked the town. ”

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and Li Yanbei's suppressed anger surged back into his chest.

"If the target is a prescription, why kill people and set fires?"

seemed to be infected by the anger in Li Yanbei's tone, and the resentment in Aaron's eyes became stronger and stronger.

"After the brutes took control of the town, they broke into the infirmary, and without getting the precious prescription that didn't exist in the first place, the leader Montas killed the teacher in a fit of rage!"

Aaron's emotions grew more and more agitated, but the tears did stop by this time.

And Li Yanbei looked at Aaron, who was trembling violently all over, and his fists clenched even tighter.

"What about Mayor Buku, and why did the robbers kill him?"

Hearing Li Yanbei mention Mayor Buku, Aaron's hateful eyes dimmed.

"The robbers didn't get what they wanted, so they went even more crazy. They burned and looted in the town, and it was because of the hindrance that Mayor Buku was murdered. ”

After understanding the whole story, Li Yanbei gradually calmed down.

He turned his head and looked at the dilapidated town.

Since Li Yanbei stepped into the town, the residents of the town have put down the things in their hands.

They stood in the ruined brick house and looked at Li Yanbei blankly.

There was no resentment in his eyes, and there was no blame. They just watched quietly like this, but the sadness in their eyes made Li Yanbei feel like a man.

"Fiona. ”

Fiona followed him, her chest already filled with rage.

However, she is not a person who is full of mood, so until now, she has not said a word.

"Lord Viscount. ”

"This kind of thing happened, why didn't Viscount Orn even show his face?"

Li Yanbei's expression was indifferent.

"Isn't he supposed to be the supreme leader here?"

Fiona shook her head slowly.

"It's not just Viscount Orn, as long as it doesn't threaten his true interests, the other city lords won't care about such a thing. ”

Li Yanbei sneered.

"That is, in our Grand Duchy, these robbers can be unscrupulous?"

Fiona let out a long sigh.

"These bandits are different from horse thieves, they are not only powerful, but they also do not have a fixed residence. They were very clever and saw the contradictions between the Duke of Assamet and the Duke of Vlad Kimir, so they often operated along the border between the two principalities. When the Principality of Vladkimir began to prepare to exterminate them, they ran to the Principality of Assammet, and when the Principality of Assammet was ready to strangle them, they ran to the Principality of Vladkimir. ”

Looking at Li Yanbei quietly, she seemed to be very helpless.

"And it takes a lot of manpower and financial resources to exterminate them, and no viscount or earl is willing to lose his own interests to clear them, so these bandit groups have been extremely rampant in recent years. ”

The sneer on the corner of Li Yanbei's mouth became thicker and thicker.

"The contradiction between the two principalities actually breeds such an incident. For the sake of their own comfort, the adults let the civilians bear the bullying of the robbers. ”

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. ”

The cold light in his eyes flashed, and Li Yanbei's tone was extremely cold.

"So what is the meaning of the existence of such a principality, and what is the place for these big people to be admired by others?"

Looking at Li Yanbei, whose face was like frost, Fiona pursed her lips slightly.

"Lord Viscount, this is beyond our capabilities. All we can do now is help them rebuild. ”

"That's right. ”

Li Yanbei pouted as if he was self-deprecating.

"You are an assassin who forcibly broke through the sixth order, and I am a powerless waste, what can we do? ”

Hearing this, Fiona's heart was bleeding with guilt.

"I'm sorry, sir. ”

Li Yanbei looked at the residents who were watching him not far away, and his self-deprecating smile slowly dissipated.

"Fiona, you haven't done anything wrong, it's just that your abilities are limited. ”

"Lord Roy. ”

Fiona's face was unusually solemn.

"I promise you, if one day I have enough strength, I will definitely wipe out these bandit bandits and let these poor civilians live in peace. ”

"I believe it. ”

Li Yanbei turned his face and looked at Fiona.

"But now is not the time to talk about that. ”

With a long sigh of relief, Li Yanbei's expression seemed to calm down.

"The immediate priority is to solve the problems of the lives of the residents of the town immediately. ”

Fiona turned her eyes to look at the townspeople who were watching her, and her heart was extremely heavy.

"What should we do?"

"You go back to Hearthstone first. ”

Li Yanbei said lightly,

"Advance my viscount's silver coins to the Grand Duke for half a year, and then buy back enough food and necessities. ”

Fiona shuddered slightly.

"Viscount, you ......"

"Brand is my fiefdom. ”

Li Yanbei's face was still calm.

"I can't let my people go hungry. ”

......

Blackstone City.

Deacon of the Dark Veil.

Beneath the statue of the Dark God, Snake's shadow stood straight.

The cold mask was still pale, and the blood pupils that came out of the hole were a little red.

He just looked at the statue of the dark god quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, the air suddenly fluctuated, and the red glow in Snake's eyes flashed.

The door to the hall was slowly pushed open, and Jester walked in briskly.

He fell to his knees at Snake's phantom, his face beaming with respect.

"Lord Archdeacon!"

Snake stood with his hands on his shoulders and didn't seem to react much to Jester's arrival.

Jester still bowed his head respectfully, and then said aloud,

"According to the tip, the deacon has returned to Brand today, but has not yet contacted us. After seeing Brand's condition, the deacon was always calm. ”

Hearing this, Snake's figure seemed to move slightly.

"Oh?"

Turning, he finally looked at Jester.

"Isn't he a little excited?"

Shaking his head, Jester said,

"The chief deacon just sent Fiona back to Hearthstone, supposedly to advance silver coins to Duke Vlad Kimir. ”

Hearing this, Snake was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

"What kind of advance silver, I think this guy wants to take Fiona. ”

Hearing this, Jester frowned slightly.

However, he knew that the archdeacon did not like people to talk too much, so he did not ask the doubts in his heart.

Shaking his head with a smile, Snake said slowly,

"How can this guy be the kind of person who cowers and swallows his anger?"

Raising an eyebrow, Snake said to Jester,

"Listen, no matter what Li Yanbei tells you to do, you must obey absolutely. ”

The red light in his eyes flickered twice, and he seemed very excited.

"Even if this guy wants you to slaughter the prince, you will all die in front of the prince's palace. ”

Hearing this, Jester shuddered slightly.

"Yes!

Satisfied with Snap's answer, Jester turned and looked up at the dark god's jade-carved eyes.

"This guy ......"

The smile in his red eyes grew stronger and stronger, and his interest in Li Yanbei became stronger and stronger.

"How, exactly?"
