Chapter 53: Hundred Days Soul Breaking Pill
Risa Dilan looked at Eric in disbelief: "It's still alive...... Good thing you're alive! No! …… Thank you for your generosity! ”
"Lord Leon, I don't have much money to pay right now, but I can work for you and use my ability to pay off my debts!"
The elf said it sincerely.
But Leon still stared at the elf's eyes suspiciously: "Lisa Dilan, you should know that I don't trust you. ”
This time, I didn't call him Teddy again.
Risa Dilan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "This is as it should be...... I hope you will give me the opportunity to prove my sincerity......"
Sincere?
Leon looked at Risardiran and then at the list of teams.
There are no players added to the list.
There is also no prompt from the system.
This heart doesn't seem to be very sincere...... Leon shook his head, rode to the back of the group, and circled the convoy.
When he came back, he had a small black pill in his hand.
"I don't trust you, and I don't think you trust me much either, so you eat it so we can all feel at ease......"
Leon brought the pill to Risardyan's mouth.
The pill was very bad, dark green mixed with a little burnt yellow, with a sour smell, and it was not a good thing at first glance.
"This ...... What is this......"
Lisa Dilan was really panicked and didn't dare to speak.
"Poison, the legendary 'Hundred Days Soul Breaking Pill', my unique secret recipe. After eating it, you must eat another one every three months, otherwise you will die of ulcers and itching all over your stomach...... For ten days before you die, you will feel like countless ants are devouring your internal organs, and I promise it is the most brutal torture in the world......"
Leon was expressionless, smiling rather than smiling, waiting for Risa Dilan to make a decision.
If you don't eat it, you will obviously be killed......
And if you eat it, you may be controlled for the rest of your life – this is the way to prove sincerity.
Risardran was silent for a moment, then sighed resignedly and swallowed the 'poison'.
"My lord, I swear allegiance to you...... I think you should be relieved now...... But ......"
Elves have a long life, and they serve people for a period of time, even if it is a human life, it is only a short part of life for elves. For Risardiran, swearing allegiance was not a difficult decision.
What made the elf killer hesitate and couldn't speak out was another thing - "But...... My lord, can you ask a doctor to treat me first...... I've been bleeding from my wounds......"
That's when the prompt comes in: 'Risa Dilan has joined your team. ’
Maybe the system isn't very powerful, but at least it's accurate to judge whether or not you really want to join the team, from Anson to the carpenters, as evidenced by it.
After hearing the prompt, Li Ang nodded without smiling: "Don't forget to ask me to get the medicine in three months." Anson, heal him. ”
Of course, the black pill was not a 100-day soul breaking pill, but Alice's horse dung mixed with some bird droppings and other messy things. Well, it's very toxic in a way.
In fact, Leon knew that a cunning person like Risa Dilan might not really believe in the existence of such a poison that would renew his life once every three months. But as a person who knows how to use poison and understands how terrible poison is, Risadilan definitely doesn't dare to gamble.
The more cunning a person is, the less likely he is to gamble his life, what if the poison is real?
Risa Dilan finally let out a sigh of relief, and pursed her lips a little sadly: "My lord, what do you need me to do now?" ”
Leon's expression became serious and cautious: "First of all, before your wounds heal, I want you to learn to respect everyone in the team - start by taking care of Eric's injuries, after all, he spared your life." ”
"When you're healed, you go and find the man who hired you and bring him to me, can you do that?"
"Absolutely."
"I mean, first thing, can you do it?"
Risadilan was silent for a few seconds: "I will do it, my lord...... But if someone captures my people as slaves, I can't turn a blind eye......"
Li Ang nodded: "Of course, you are also a member of my team now, if this kind of thing happens, I will help you." I'm even willing to help you get back into your clan...... But ......"
"But you have to understand that I am a selfish person, and I will only help my own people!"
The handsome Noldor Elf looked deeply into Leon's eyes and nodded.
……
Late at night.
The convoy arrived in the village of Al Deig.
This is what Ralph calls the ownerless village.
The village was originally a lord - it once belonged to the deceased Duke El Fwan, a knightly domain subordinate to the duke, and the lord was Lord Rainier.
In fact, geographically, the village of Ellerdege was supposed to be part of Fort White Hart, just as the village of Fletcher was part of Fort Brave.
However, due to the continuous invasion of the Bacchus Empire in the south, Al-Deigar is located in a dangerous zone on the eastern border.
As a result, the Duke of Elfwan, who was in charge of the eastern region at the time, took it into the direct knighthood in order to defend against the Bacchus Empire.
However, since Avwan's half-body failure, the knight leader has been in a semi-autonomous state. Lord Rainier was quite free in the realm, after all, Elfwan was paralyzed in bed and couldn't control him, and White Hart couldn't control him.
Lord Rainier is actually the nephew of Duke Elfwan, and his father, Baron Kedren, is a distant cousin of Elfwan.
The lord himself was actually untitled and was called a lord only because he was the heir to the baron. But before his dad burps, he can only be considered a knight.
Of course, it's also called 'jazz'.
It is the same nature as Auden's son-in-law, Lord Lehman.
In the course of Archduke Alma's plot against River, Lord Rainier gradually turned to Alma - his father, Baron Kedren, was actually Alma's distant cousin, and these old nobles intermarried frequently and had a complicated relationship.
Moreover, Kadron is the lord of Talon Keep, and his territory is next to Lion Lake City......
The father and son wisely chose to side with Archduke Alma, which is normal, and it is good to enjoy the shade with their backs against the big tree.
But Alma actually cheated Rainier.
After Archduke Alma lured the Gatu into the hinterland of Changhe Town, several of Cato's detachments of 100 men had been plundering from village to village.
The village of Elledeg in Rainier was one of the first villages to suffer.
In the face of the invasion of the Gatus, the young lord of Rainier did not lead troops to protect his territory, but ran away as soon as possible......
This is not unusual, and it can even be called a normal and wise choice.
Not every lord had the courage and strength to fight against two hundred Cato with a few dozen men. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't run away, Li Ang wouldn't be willing to fight hard.
But the problem is that the first thing Rainier did before giving up his territory and running away was to burn the village.
Burn your own village.
He swept away all the valuable property in his domain, and robbed his people before the Gatus......
Then they set fire to the village, leaving the weeping villagers to the Gatu.
It has to be said that people who are capable of such operations are often promising......
It's understandable that I'd rather rob it myself than let the Cato take advantage of it.
But the people of Gatu don't do it, they must have negotiated the terms of this transaction with Grand Duke Alma!
As a result, the Gatu people did not reap any benefits after entering the burned village of Al Deig and looting it for the second time.
So the Gatu turned around and caught up with Rainier, who was not fast with a large number of convoys, and then made a wholesale as quickly and conveniently - everything of value was packed, even the cars were loaded, and it was much more efficient to rob Rainier's convoy than to rob the village.
And it was Ralph and his Ranger who saved Rainier's life.
