Chapter Ninety-Five: Ebreth
"Lord Roland, I think I, Ebreth, have served the guild for decades, never asked for anything in return, never thought about the old age, but can only watch my three sons kill each other, even if I have already received the exact news about it, I can't take any measures. If the Great Venerable thinks that my efforts over the years are not enough to bring stability to my children and grandchildren, then I have nothing to say. ”
In the secret room of the Lord's Mansion of the Descending Dragon City, the beard and hair were all white, and Viscount Ebrais, who was a teenager, said to the black-clothed thief Roland.
Roland laughed dryly and said: "Lord Viscount, for the sake of the great cause of the guild, sacrificing the ego to take care of the overall situation, I have reported these situations, why don't the elders understand and sympathize with you? My lord, this is a battle between the two factions of the guild, and your sons are just getting involved in it. Since you and I both choose to follow President Kobe, we are bound to become enemies with President Howard, and this is already an instant choice, and we don't have a second chance. ”
Ebreth said with some indignation: "Dazun, you know, I, Ebreth, have been guarding the Dragon Ruins for decades, and I am not here to help Lord Kobe protect the secrets of the Dragon Ruins? To put it nicely, everything I do is to be loyal to the royal family, loyal to His Majesty, to put it mildly, you and I are not the same, I have never seen His Majesty's golden face, and everything is acting according to the instructions of the Elder?"
Roland snorted coldly, suddenly lifted the hood, revealing a white and bloodless frightening face, and said unhappily: "Why? With such a blow, the adults are resentful and question the elder? You must be clear, you and I have received the favor of today! Without the elder, there would be no today's achievements of my Roland, and you will not be the same? Without the insistence of the elder, can you be a viscount for decades in the dragon lord surrounded by enemies? A small Haosen family is enough for you to be anxious. Now that everyone has made it clear to us that the sword soldiers, we have no way to retreat, only a hard fight is the only way to go, have you made a decision, my lord?"
Ebreth let out a long sigh and said with a sad face: "With Swift and his elite group here, the Hausen family gathered those tens of thousands of horses to crash over, and they also hit the stone with an egg. At present, it seems that as long as the Hausen family is defeated, Swift will officially come to the Dragon Descending City under the banner of Iniesta, preparing to put the Dragon Descendant under the full control of the forces represented by President Howard. It's a pity that only one of my three sons is left, and he is not about to become a puppet who is being manipulated. And I, how long do I think I can last? As a test subject for growing up, is my mission over here?"
Roland seemed to be touched by Ebres's words, and his tone softened a little, "My lord, if you think so, you feel that everything you have done is of extraordinary significance. President Kebi supports you in guarding the Dragon Lord, and his intention is to ask you to take care of the pass of the Dragon Ruins. Doesn't anyone who wants to pass through the Dragon Ruins have to pass through the territory of your three sons? You have planted so many people in those eighteen towns, isn't any intention to get involved in the Dragon Ruins under your control? It's just that the sudden appearance of the variable of Meng Yang disrupted the deployment of the elder, and thus gave Swift and the others a chance to take advantage of. But is it true that the strength we have accumulated is vegetarian?"
"Your Excellency, when it comes to Monyan, I have to mention that incident. I have consulted the elders for this purpose, and I have secretly done a thorough investigation, but I have never heard back from the elders, and I have no clue about my own investigation. What is the origin of this Meng Yang? Now we have to discuss this person carefully. ”
"According to my investigation, this person did suddenly appear in the town of Sisangling Yigula from the volcanic lava area, at that time, he was completely like a barbarian, but after entering the town, he bought a large number of books and other things, all of which were used as currency with second- and third-level magic crystals. If this person is really as the Great Zun and the Elder inferred, he is a magic guard who the little princess has been freed into the danger area to temper, then how long has he survived in the volcanic lava area? Why is he not even an ordinary warrior? A person who is not even an ordinary warrior can survive in that place and hunt magical beasts, which is a miracle in itself, of course, in the ring fight that day, we all saw his amazing fighting talent. ”
He caught a thief in the small town of Igula and immediately turned him into his slave, and has been with him ever since. With the strength of a first-level warrior, in just a few days, he single-handedly exterminated more than 1,000 bandits in Si Sang's territory who had been a disaster for many years, and you must know that several of the bandit leaders have the strength of third- and fourth-level warriors, which has always been a huge doubt that no one can figure out. If it is said that the little princess cultivated this person, then this person's powerful talent is the fundamental reason why he was chosen! However, his performance does not look like he had anything to do with the little princess before!"
"Monyan took refuge in Iniesta and won Iniesta's appreciation, perhaps, Swift, who had been secretly staying by Iniesta's side, discovered Monyan's extraordinary talent at that time, and wanted to use Monyan to temporarily control the Dragon Ruins, I have always felt uneasy about Iniesta's delay in completing the handover of the Dragon Ruins left by Lucerne to the Dragon City, and I dare to feel that Swift has already drawn up such a plan. Even if Meng Yang doesn't show up, I think he will let Iniesta strike first and give the other people the agency of the Dragon Ruins. For this reason, they asked Meng Yang, who had just taken charge of the Dragon Ruins, to come to the ring to fight and die, which is very understandable. However, the variable of Meng Yang is that he did not die in the ring as they wished, but defeated many opponents and survived. At that time, according to your wishes, I simply gave the dragon ruin to this person, and also smashed Swift's plot. But the next two things baffled me. ”
Roland said: "Yes, Lu Sen has been bribed, and he is no longer suitable to guard the Dragon Ruins for us, I will ask you to remove his authority, and I have not found a suitable candidate for a while." Because, a noble lord who is accustomed to enjoying himself is absolutely unwilling to go to such a place to taste the taste of hardship. I know that you are wondering about Monyang's own account of his background, not only you, but I also reported to the elder, if there really was such a hidden family in this world many years ago, who exterminated it? What did they ask for after Mengyang and his old servant? Arrange for Monyang to take over the Dragon Ruins, not only to defeat Swift's plan for granted, but also to facilitate our long-term monitoring of Monyan, a man with excellent talent, and in time, we will eventually find out the secret of his background. But you're shocked by the little princess, aren't you?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, the little princess has been in the Dragon Ruins for more than a year, and perhaps it was during that period that Lu Sen was bribed by the Swift faction. The little princess stayed there, and most of the things she did had something to do with that incident, and you and I both know that. Why did the little princess send me a message to tell me not to embarrass Meng Yang and treat him well? After that, she continued to stay in the Dragon Ruins, and also helped Meng Yang build the Magic Arrow Tower, how do you look at it, the current Dragon Ruins Fort is not like the castle of a small noble lord, and its defense level may have exceeded my Dragon Descending City! What does this mean? Where did Meng Yang get such a large amount of money to constantly make deals with the Zig Chamber of Commerce? What role does the little princess play in it? If Meng Yang was not the magic guard released by the little princess, why did she take Meng Yang away this time when she returned to the imperial capital to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony?"
Ebreth asked so many questions in one breath, gasping for air, and the blue lines loomed on his neck and face, which was very scary.
Roland said: "No matter what, the little princess is by no means someone we can afford to offend. I think Swift and the others must have been unaware of the fact that Meng Yang was favored by the little princess, so he took advantage of Meng Yang's departure to officially start his series of plans. Annexed the eighteen towns of Sisang, Yanlong, and Yanlong, assassinated many nobles who were close to Guta and Luta, and officially argued with the Haosen family! Because, they must have felt that as long as they completely suppressed the Haosen family, it would be equivalent to gaining control of the Dragon Descending Territory, forcing you to give way and take over the Dragon Descending City, which was just a matter of effort. However, do you think that the mad wolf incident in Longxu is really just a mad wolf suddenly going crazy and attacking the world? Do you dare to say that there is no handiwork of the little princess deliberately protecting Longxu behind this? Don't you know who the little princess is her personal disciple, her profound magical knowledge, and her secret treasures, there are countless of them, but we are happy to see that Longxu is under her protection, and Meng Yang is not there anyway, don't you have an agreement with him? It means that Longxu is still indirectly controlled by us. When the elders send a new batch of potions, your illness can last for another year, and they want to force you to abdicate, how can you get your wish?"
Ebreth looked like his heart was dead, and said softly: "Testing medicine for His Majesty, this is the glory of Ebreth's life." How long has it been since I dropped from a one-star to a seventh-level strength? This poison is so powerful that it makes people's hearts palpitate, and I don't know how Your Majesty and his old man resisted it? I heard that his old man's strength has never declined, and the royal bloodline is indeed magical and powerful! However, if the elder does not take action, how long can we hold Swift's gang with our current strength? You don't really think that the mad demon wolf controlled by the little princess with secret methods can protect the dragon ruins as impregnable, right? Dazun, if this batch of new medicines is not effective, I ・・・・・・・ I want to ask you for one thing, please be sure to remember that I am dedicated to the president, for the sake of His Majesty, to save Iniesta's life for me, so that my bloodline can continue, please!"
Roland was silent, and said in a half-loud voice: "My lord, did the strange poison really make you lose confidence to the point of losing your confidence?"
