In the basement, buried by the collapsed rubble, Elsie couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Has he always been like this?"
Finn paused for a moment before he realized he was talking to himself, and he licked his lips, "I don't know how to describe him. Most of the time, he's just a harmless ordinary person, too real to stand it, always clinging to some boring ideas, but sometimes he can get scary......"
"Horror?" Orlando noticed the fear that flashed across Finn's face as he said the word, he must have seen something.
"That's it...... On our way here, we came across a group of men who claimed to be Krenberg knights and pretended to escort us to Waolet. β
"And then?" the other three looked at each other, knowing that this was impossible. Cronberg was still separated from the Kabyl Collar of Essson, to which Vaolet belonged, and it was impossible for him to cross the line this far in any case.
"Later they took us to a hilly area where the vegetation was abundant. "Finn was particularly impressed by the hills where the necromancer hid.
"Hill of Bones......" Orlando knew where Finn was talking and why they were being taken there by someone who called himself Kronberg Knight.
The hilly area near the border with Kabyr was originally a verdant valley, so it was called because it was occupied by a lich. It is rumored that there is a group of people on the border who specialize in raiding the Otherworlders, so they must have encountered those outcasts who are fighting under the lord's command, right?
"And then, can you stop talking in half?" Elsie listened for a moment in the passage that connected to the ground, but there was still no movement on it, and he urged Finn not to speak.
"Later...... Running out of a lich, Link electrocuted the knights who tricked us into the hills. "I asked him why he had killed them all, and he said that he could not forgive him for collaborating with the undead and selling his compatriots to the enemy. "Anyway, the fact that Link is a child of nature has been exposed, and Finn has shaken out the original thing.
Elsie and Dodd didn't react to what he thought was terrifying, killing people was the norm in their minds, only Orlando could understand Finn's thoughts, he patted Finn on the shoulder, and made a silent gesture, and sure enough, the ground was silent for a moment before the sound of speech sounded again.
"Count Senior, do you think Vaolet is Esson's territory, or is it a satellite city of Hohenheim?"
Even if Hohenheim only nominally handed over the three satellite cities to the original three princes, Link was completely sure that he would turn the conversation to Servis.
"This ......" Servis laughed, but in his heart he secretly scolded Hohenheim's mage Yin Wei, who had obviously said that he would return the territory to which he originally belonged, and now he wanted him to lie in front of the children of nature, because he would not dare to disobey Hohenheim. Damn......
Seeing the compromise on Sevis's face, Link said the lines he had prepared earlier, "When I first landed in this world, I met a necromancer named Crane in Old Town of the River Valley......"
Servis's face turned pale in an instant, Crane was the illegitimate son of his father and maid, and he had nothing to do with inheritance at all, but he had a little mage talent, and at the insistence of Duke Esson, this disgraceful third son obtained the qualification of a mage through Valolet, but he was narrow-sighted, and he only wanted revenge, and within a few years, he joined the necromantic faction and became a minions of the undead empire in Befast. The duke, who was single-minded, thought that the eldest son was in Hohenheim and the third son was in the undead empire, but he didn't think that this would give Link a chance.
Even if the world has tacitly acquiesced that nobles, mages, and undead have interacted with each other in private, but there is no conclusive evidence, once this matter is announced, several other princes will definitely take the opportunity to revoke their fiefs and titles, what can the nobles without a territory do? Sevis's mind turned, and he remembered what Link had said when he saw them.
Bray and Lorelei haven't decided yet.
Does this mean that the two gods are competing for the position of the god of magic?
Just as Servis was rejoicing in his sudden idea, a familiar whisper suddenly sounded in his head.
[Do you want to be the real lord of a city, or do you want to be a puppet at the mercy of others?]
The god of shadows!
Servis's expression froze, and the words that had reached his lips were suddenly stopped.
Aristocrats and politicians make up a significant proportion of Malik's followers and can be said to be the backbone. Servis replied in his heart: [Of course, I want to become the real lord of the city, Hohenheim has suppressed the nobles for too long. γ
[You guessed it right, Bray and Lorelei are engaged in a long-planned battle for the priesthood, and the Children of Nature have already cast a crucial vote, and I don't want my followers to make a stupid choice.] γ
Servis immediately understood Malik's intentions.
The Child of Nature is on Bray's side, and if he wins, does that mean that my decision at this moment will not be punished, or even the key to this theocracy battle?
After his face changed repeatedly, Servis spoke under the gaze of everyone, "I am the lord of the city sent by the Duke of Essonne to Vaolet, and this is naturally Esson's territory. β
The teachers didn't seem to expect him to answer like this, but Andrew was prepared, and from Link saying Crane's name, he knew that this time it was indeed going to be in vain. Compared to offending Hohenheim and losing his title of nobility, Servis could not be the lord of the city of Valolet, and he could still live a life of servant service in a different territory.
Bowing slightly towards Link, Andrew turned to leave, and seeing that the persuasion failed, the red-robed mage glared at Servis fiercely and left. The centurion immediately asked the guards to make way for a passage, and it was only after seeing the seven mages disappear around the corner that Servis's nerves had been tense that eased slightly. Turning around, he saw Link leaning over and digging in the rubble, and he gave Fern a look, and the centurion immediately asked the guards, who were purely for a strong standing, to come forward and help.
In a few moments, the basement entrance buried in the rubble was revealed. Elsie and the others continued to drill out, all of them were disgraced, but fortunately no one was injured.
Servis leaned over with a smile on his face. Malik would never let his followers do anything without a foundation, and now that Link already knew about Crane's existence, he was bound to draw a line with his father to avoid being implicated in future revelations. The most important thing now is how to survive the battle for theocracy.
Link glanced at the city lord and then turned his attention to the mercenary leader, the crisis of being forced to go to Hohenheim was over, and it was time to ask the dwarves how they were. If you want to join forces to fight the undead, you must first establish a good relationship with the dwarves, after all, the passages of the underground world still maintain the supply of the Befast Lord.
"Dwarves?" Elsie didn't expect Link to know about the dwarves, he glanced at Servis, fortunately he only let his subordinates drag the dwarves, and did not order a strong attack, and most of the city lord's guards followed, so the casualties should not be strict.
Knowing Elsie's scruples, Link set his sights on the nobles around him, although he himself was very disgusted with Servis, but considering that this person's words just now played a key role, the matter of the undead can only be put aside first, and saving the dwarves is the most important thing at present.
Without Link opening his mouth, Servis knew what he wanted to say, and immediately waved his hand at the centurion, understanding what the city lord meant, and Fern hurriedly led the guards to the blacksmith shop.
People who were frightened by the previous spell and hid back in their respective homes only then looked outside the courtyard of Elsie's house, Servis invited Link to his mansion to live temporarily, in fact, to prevent the mage from taking revenge on him, knowing his thoughts, Link piggybacking on the homeless Elsie and Orlando and Finn, and Dodd, who was not named, tried to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible, although he did not get Malik's hint like Servis, but he had an intuition that he could not miss this crucial moment.
The dwarves with Jim and Wolf and a small number of dwarfs ** blocked the door of the blacksmith shop, and the outside reception has been completely sealed by mercenaries and guards, and the plan to escape by collaring failure has failed.
Wolf is not giving up, hoping that the child of nature will hear about the appearance of the ** here, the nobles may underestimate the child of nature, but there is no reason for the mage not to know the power of the child of nature.
Could it be that I miscalculated......
As the minutes passed, his hopes were diminished.
There was a commotion in the streets, and then he heard the guards cheering, and the reinforcements arrived, and in despair, he heard a man shouting, "By the order of the city lord, the blockade is lifted." β
Surprise, questioning and questioning voices came and went.
"Can't you hear my order? I said that the city lord ordered the blockade to be lifted!"
A louder roar was heard in the blacksmith's shop, and Jim looked at Wolf, could this be a human trap?
"Captain of the Guard. Another voice sounded, and Jim was stunned, and he pressed his eyes to the gap between the display cases, where the guards at the door of the blacksmith shop had dispersed, and only one person was standing, and the figure made him grasp Wolf's shoulder excitedly.
"It's him, Child of Nature. β
Link stood outside the blacksmith shop and continued to shout: "Do you remember me, we met in the underground lake of Sander City, and I will help you ......" Before he finished speaking, the display case blocked by the door was dragged open, and a dwarf walked out, it was the captain of the dwarven guard he met in the underground lake, he had reported his name, but unfortunately Link had forgotten it. 6 And a few more dwarves came out, and the Link recognized him, and asked him to cut the beast's skin smaller.
Link asks to open the gates and free the dwarves.
Servis was a little embarrassed, the mechanism for entering and exiting the city gate was in the hands of the ** master Andrew, which was not up to him.
As the head of the clan, Wolf told SΓΉ Link that his city had been overrun by the undead, and even if they were released now, the dwarves would be left homeless.
"The City Lord's Mansion is spacious enough, it should be able to receive them. Link thought of an idea, but it was a bit difficult to nod to both Cervis and the dwarves, and it was all empty talk until Bray defeated Lorelei, so he could only bring the dwarves to the City Lord's Mansion for the time being. Anyway, Sevis's mansion is big enough, and as a nobleman, it is no problem to provide for these dozens of people to live for a few days. (To be continued.) )
