Tulip Earldom, north-western border.

The small town of Kotu.

The sun was setting, and the blood-red light shone on the dusty ground. Transparent flying dust, and some will also emit colorful light. The shadows of the surrounding trees staggered, mostly broken, and occasionally a dog barked, but then disappeared in a hurry.

A group of cavalrymen dressed in tulip seal armor stopped at the gate of the town, each of them with a heavy sword at his waist and a long soldier on his back, with a serious look on his face.

In front of them, there stood seven or eight men and women of different shapes. The leader of them was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with furrow-like wrinkles on the side of his face left by the wind and frost of time, and his pale blonde hair had turned gray in some places.

He hunched over and saluted slightly to the young man in silver light armor in front of the cavalry.

"Lord Linwei, welcome to the town of Kotu. I'm the mayor here, Shatule. ”

At this time, nearly a month has passed since Jon's assassination, and in this month, a major event has occurred in Tulip Territory.

Naken, the commander of the Tulip Guard, suddenly announced that he would carry out a carpet sweep of the "Sword and Flower" organization in Tulip Territory, and any civilian who found the traces of "Sword and Flower" members could report it to the guards, and would be awarded a large bonus afterwards. If they conceal their whereabouts, or shield members of the Sword and Flower, they will be punished with death.

As soon as the news spread, it caused a stir in the territory. Under the pressure of death and the lure of high profits, more than 100,000 civilians in the territory turned into the most terrifying weapons of the Tulip family, and hundreds of members of "Sword and Flower" were pulled out in the dark and either imprisoned or sent to the execution ground. For a time, there was a huge panic effect, and it is said that even the king paid attention to the matter.

Lin Wei, as an existence personally nominated by Count Tulip, naturally played a major role in this purge, and Naken appointed him as the captain of the first purge detachment, commanding more than fifty elite guards, among which his deputy Wesker was also a master at the level of knight squire. Because of his ruthlessness and determination, the name of Lin Wei Nolan Mountain quickly resounded throughout the tulip territory, and some women described Lin Wei as a terrifying executioner to stop the baby's crying.

The speed of the clearance was very fast, and in less than a month, only some of the fish that had slipped through the net on the border of the territory were still active, and Lin Wei's first clearance detachment was assigned the task of exterminating the remnants of the "Sword and Flower" in Ketu Town.

Lin Wei sat on his war horse and looked at Shatul condescendingly: "Hello, Mayor Shatule, the accommodation arrangements for our group will be handed over to you." ”

Shatule and the people behind him bowed deeply to Lin Wei: "It is the honor of our Ketu town to serve you. ”

Shatur walked to the side of Lin Wei's horse and bent down, trying to lay his back as flat as possible.

Lin Wei glanced at him, and the soles of his feet in iron boots stepped directly on Shatule's back, and calmly stepped off the war horse.

Shatur was still smiling, as if he was extremely proud of what he had just done.

Lin Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth were frivolous: "It's a little interesting." ”

Under the guidance of Shatule and his party, Lin Wei and others came to the door of a hotel with a broken wall.

"I'm sorry, Lord Lin, but this is the best accommodation we can offer. You must know that the mob of 'Sword and Flower' has always plundered us from time to time, and due to the lack of security personnel, we have suffered several great losses, and even some of the residents have moved out of the small town of Kotu. ”

Shatul said, his eyes showing a hurried melancholy.

Lin Wei patted him on the shoulder and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, everything will be fine." The mob will pay for their actions, and the Lord Earl will grant stability and freedom to every citizen. ”

Speaking of the plundering of civilians by swords and flowers, Lin Wei was simply taken aback when he first found out. Before, he had always thought that Sword and Flower were representatives of the resistance of the common people, but after deep contact, he realized that although the purpose of Sword and Flower was to defeat the nobles, when they made up for their own lack, the first object of harm was the commoners.

How could such an organization that wanted to overthrow the rule of the aristocracy while squeezing the interests of the common people not be destroyed?

Lin Wei walked into the inn, and a sour smell invaded his nose.

Lin Wei subconsciously used his hands to block the unpleasant smell, and glanced around with the help of the faint light of the setting sun.

Broken tables and chairs, broken armrests, everything is old and rotten.

Shatur looked embarrassed and panicked, as if he was afraid that Lin Wei would blame.

"Anyone?" Lin Wei suddenly found that a miserable white face was staring at him at the corner of the stairs, the pupils of those eyes were not like ordinary people, and they were overflowing with lilac light.

"Where?" Shatur looked at Lin Wei's gaze.

"Huh?!" When Lin Wei looked over again, the strange human face disappeared.

Rub it!

Lin Wei took out the brand-new cross sword at his waist and walked quickly over the stairs until he turned the corner just now.

"There really is no one ......"

Lin Wei's pupils constricted, and he licked his teeth: "Interesting, maybe there will be other gains from this trip." ”

"Spherical core, probe!"

The scene of a radius of three hundred meters appeared in Lin Wei's eyes in the slightest.

"Is there really no one......? Is it the power of a wizard again?"

This time, Lin Wei didn't have the slightest fear of encountering the dark green ring last time, but more of a longing to move.

Shatule and Linwei's deputy, Weske, hurriedly followed.

Wesk looked wary: "Captain, is there something wrong?"

Lin Wei glanced at him, didn't answer, turned to stare at Shatule: "Why don't you have a clerk here?"

Shatur looked ashamed: "I'm sorry, Lord Lin Wei, due to the ravages of swords and flowers, a lot of our food has been stockpiled, in order to meet the food requirements of your lords, today they went to the neighboring town to purchase, and they have not come back yet." However, I guess I will be back soon, and I will definitely prepare a sumptuous dinner for all of you. ”

After Lin Wei heard this, he was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled slightly, and patted Shatul on the shoulder again, but this time the strength was a little great: "Thank you for your hard work, Shatule." ”

As Shatul said, the clerk soon returned, they prepared a variety of meats and vegetables, and in the company of Shatul and others, everyone had a decent dinner.

Among them, Shatule also introduced Lin Wei to the captain of the guard of the small town of Cotu, Ferro, and the financial officer Ramson, as well as some of the town's elites who did not have much to do in the town.

Their attitude towards Lin Wei was almost to the extreme, and they almost flattered Lin Wei as Count Tulip himself.
