Book 69 Green Leaf Cluster
Sir Rod's fiefdom town is called Outpost Town, which was once the forefront of the White Moon Country's fight against the Forest Country, and has now become a rather prosperous town. The group of thieves who have taken over the town is called Green Leaf, and there are hundreds of members, and the only one with magical talent is its leader. According to Sir Rhodes, this man was a light magician who could hide in the light and travel thousands of miles in a blink of an eye.
The sick princess didn't believe anything about the light mage. There are only a few dozen people in the entire White Moon Country who cherish talents like magicians, and they all enjoy the glory and status commensurate with their strength, and of course, income. It is impossible for a magician to mix with a lewd thief, in fact the two words are almost relative, representing the noble and the lowly and the mean.
In this world, most people who are gifted with magic will choose to practice martial arts, and only those who are extremely weak will go to the magic city of Rozelaven to learn magic. Because the success rate of magicians is very low, about 3 out of 10,000, most of the talented people will not take this risk. Fortunately, the lifespans of the magicians are very high, so this technology will not be extinguished due to the withering of talents.
That's what Sir Rhodes had heard about the magician, and he just told the truth about what he knew. In fact, the guy who robbed his relatives was just an ordinary robber, the number two in the Green Leaf Regiment. He hadn't met the legendary head of the magician, but he had a lot of connections to the second leader.
"I have a portrait here. As he spoke, Jazz pulled out a painting from a dark compartment in his study that had been torn and repasted. The content of the painting is a family portrait sketch of a family of three, and the degree of completion is not high, and there is not even coloring outside the face, but a few details of the suit are outlined with carbon rods. The man in the painting has a fierce face, the woman has a sad face, and a little girl who is about to cry is holding the woman's leg.
"This portrait is the number two person in the Green Leaf Troupe, a man named 'Kuaishou' who asked the town's painter to paint it. The painter faithfully painted the expressions of the three people at that time, but was severely beaten and asked to repaint. The painter who had painted a portrait of me when I received the title came to me to seek justice, and I asked for the sketch from him, which had been torn apart by his hand. I applied the color of the face myself, and I can guarantee that at least Kuaishou himself looks exactly the same as in the painting. "Sir Rhodes was a great painter and the heads of the three men were no different from those taken with a camera. Zhou Shu nodded after reading it and said, "Write it down." If I saw it, I would recognize it. "The appearance of these three people is very distinctive, or they are outstanding in temperament, and they are easy to identify.
The sick princess nodded, she had already decided to deal with this green leaf group, after the trip to Lantern City was completed. (This chapter is uploaded by netizens)
"This Kuaishou is just an ordinary person, where is he now?"
Sir Rhodes said, "Back to Your Excellency." The family of three lives in Lantern City, Kuaishou himself rarely comes here, and there are only about two dozen thieves in the town. "He had heard from the sick princess what had happened at the inn. "Those people did not trust each other, and when they robbed the merchants, they all went out together to prevent their companions from stealing the harvest. Therefore, what the two Excellencies have eliminated should be their entire power in the town. The base camp of the Green Leaf Regiment is in Lantern City, where there are more rich people for them to attack, and there are also more villain resources for them to develop their power. I suspect that the lords of nearby towns may have had a similar experience to me, and that these thieves are doing whatever it takes to raise money, presumably in an attempt to further expand their bandits. ”
After hearing this, the sick princess felt a lot, she thought that this Baiyue Kingdom had more financial problems and a bigger step in military affairs. I didn't expect there to be so much mess in private. Could it be that this chaos means that the kingdom is running out?
"Don't think about it so much, the bottom society has always been like this. Zhou Shu comforted: "Except for the particularly clear and prosperous dynasty, which may really have the legend of not closing the door at night, in most cases, such a thing as the underworld is inevitable. Your White Moon Kingdom did not let the people freeze and starve to death, which proves that it is not very bad. I know a lot of people who are starving to death...... Forget it, don't mention it, in short, being cheerful is good for your illness. ”
The sick princess smiled bitterly: "The people can be rich in food and clothing, it is thanks to the blessing of the god of harvest, how can we snatch the credit of the gods?"
Sir Rhodes listened strangely to the sidelines, how could he listen to these two men talking, as if the prime minister was comforting the sentimental king? He did not inquire about the identities of the two, he felt that it was enough for a declining nobleman to know that the other was a member of the Red Moon royal family. As long as the two of them can help save their relatives, he can do without the title.
That's exactly what the sick princess thought, and he felt that Sir Rhodes in front of him was no longer worthy to be the lord of this town. "I'll help you figure it out. When we settle the Green Leaf Regiment, I hope that Sir Rhodes will take the initiative to contact the White Moon Royal Court and report the stupid things you have done. Taking the initiative to receive punishment is also the attitude that a nobleman should have. ”
Sir Rhodes nodded solemnly, and said nothing superfluous.
Once the duo understood the situation, there was no reason to delay any longer, and it had already wasted most of their day listening to the story, so the two returned to the journey. As for the twenty or so corpses in the town, let Sir Rhodes have a headache himself.
The carriage drove on the road, and as the two of them moved away from the defeated city, the so-called official road became narrower and narrower, gradually turning into a sheep's intestine path, and even a few lakes with high water levels flooded part of the road. The sick princess took the initiative to chat with Zhou Shu about the road problem, and the two of them bragged cordially and enthusiastically like the head of state. The difference is that the sick princess is really bragging, and what Zhou Shu said is the truth, but there is no credibility at all in the ears of the princess of the other world.
"You say that the total length of roads in your country is 3.7 million kilometers (unit symbol experience spirit)?" The sick princess didn't believe it, and pointed to the small road: "Won't all this kind of road be counted? Besides, how big is your country?"
Zhou Shu almost blurted out '9.6 million square kilometers', and the total amount should not stimulate this vain female politician. Except for the fact that the buildings in the big city are very ornate with magic arrays, the rest of his White Moon Kingdom is no different from rural China. The land area of the White Moon Kingdom is equivalent to the three eastern provinces, how can this pattern be compared with the Celestial Empire, which has strict overcapacity in infrastructure construction?
The sick princess knew the magic of Zhou Shu, although in her heart she believed that Zhou Shu would not lie, but logically could not agree with that terrible number. She didn't want to dwell on this ambiguous issue, so she asked him about his martial arts cultivation. This sick princess is confident that she knows more than Zhou Shu. He can't fool me.
But after this moon-level powerhouse princess heard that Zhou Shu only cultivated ten groups each time, and only cultivated twice to raise the level of the two systems to the beginning, she was not calm.
Zhou Shu wanted to hide his magic level, and he did. According to the rules of this world, the son of his super plane librarian should be one thousand and one hundred years. I'm only level 10 open to the public right now, so shouldn't it be too much?
Level 10 Talent ...... The sick princess's heart fluttered, "Isn't that just the same as my father...... "Is this fate?"
Master Zhou didn't know the sick princess's thoughts, even if the other party clearly expressed that he had been fooled once, he would only treat it as a conspiracy, so although the two walked without twists and turns along the way, the sick princess had mixed feelings in her heart.
The Lantern area is known for its wealth and prosperity, but in Zhou Shu's view, this Lantern City is far less imposing than the Defeated Soldier City.
The defeated city was originally a border fortress city in the forest country, which was already very grandiose, and after changing hands to the White Moon Kingdom, it was extensively repaired and expanded to form the current situation. The prosperity of the Lantern region was also created by the long-term border warfare, and a large number of war resources and people passed from here to the defeated city, making the Lantern area an economic powerhouse.
Since this side is far from the battlefield, people entering the city do not need identity papers, as long as they are checked by the guards. The sick princess, such a great beauty, was inevitably scolded by the guards during the inspection, and was rude in front of her husband, she simply wanted to transfer a few legions to level this lantern city.
Zhou Shu also stared angrily at the middle-aged guards who were messing around, he had already given a few silver coins to let the other party stop, but the old soldier Youzi collected the money, and he still searched and inspected the sick princess, which was more careful than the Arabs going through the security check at the airport in the United States.
Be at the end of one's forbearance!
Zhou Shu took advantage of the guards' inattention, and a breath of white air blew on his trouser leg. The summon that appears is a poison-based Pokemon captured in Outpost, Flower Death, and there are two more.
The little snake received an order to take a bite at the guard's knee socket, and his fangs barely pierced the skin through his pants.
The sick princess's month-level internal organs gave her super sensing ability, and her heart fluttered when she saw the flower death god being conjured up by Zhou Shu. He took the initiative to stand up for me!
Master Zhou just can't look past it, and he doesn't have so many thoughts and feelings. The hairy guard was bitten and fell to the ground with his thighs clutched, and then his lips turned black and foamed at the mouth, and he passed out. Several other soldiers hurriedly came to check when they saw it, and the god of death, who had received the order to slaughter, gave up his life to attack, and bit three more guards, and the remaining few saw the poisonous snakes overflowing here, and fled decisively.
It's a pity that the venom of these two little snakes is limited, only the first two soldiers who were bitten were poisoned to death, and the other two just lay in place with convulsions.
Zhou Shu stood on the carriage shelf and shouted, "The guards have fainted, there is no need to pay the entrance fee!" and then entered the city under the coercion of greedy and cheap merchants and passers-by.
"You actually killed my soldier of the White Moon Kingdom!" After the two entered the city, the first thing the sick princess said was very insincere. She wanted to thank her, but she couldn't. You can't say, 'Thank you for helping me kill my pervert?' She's a girl, and she doesn't want to talk emotionally about being touched by someone just now.
Zhou Shu ignored her, knowing that she was tsundere, and the first thing he did after entering the city was to retrieve the summon and check it with great interest. At a cursory glance, Master Zhou was happy.
"Ah, princess. You show me the portrait of the old duke. "I think I've found him!
