Chapter 70: A Mature and Wise Lord
The farm was not hard to find, because the people of the city deliberately avoided it when they went out of the city.
After a brief wash, Ilea came there with Li Yu.
However, there was also a guard stationed outside the farm, who guarded the people inside and did not let them out, and did not allow outsiders to enter.
The leader of the leader, named Sora, greeted the female lord and her party when she found out.
"You say you are."
"Daughter of Blood-Eyed Ruth, Dragon Slayer Knight, and head of House Arias, Ilea." The female lord replied.
"Dragon Slayer Knight Ilea, I've heard of your name." "I have no doubt about your martial prowess, but I'm afraid you can't do anything about what you're going to face this time. ”
"It's okay, Prophet Merlin is here too." Ilea pointed to Li Yu on the side and said.
"Prophet?" Sora looked suspiciously up and down at the stranger in front of her in black dress.
"I'm Merlin, the prophet of the Shuangxiu Sect," Li Yu said, "I want to go in and take a look, and if it's really the kind of curse I know about, I may think that some of them have lifted the curse." ”
"It can't be!" "Priest Helbert has seen those men and is sure that none of them are saved. ”
"It may be true for him and the gods behind him, but not for me and my gods." Li Yu said.
You'd better be careful what you say, Gentile. "The people of this land worship Julius, the god of the earth and grain, and are blessed by it, and you and the gods behind you are not welcome here!"
After speaking, he looked at the female lord again, "Sir Ilea, it is my duty, I can't let you go any further." ”
Although there are not many people in charge of guarding the manor, they are inferior to the guards of the Arias family and the Black Dog Guard in terms of weapons and equipment.
But after all, this is someone else's territory, and it's not good for the female lord to lead people to break through like this.
She didn't embarrass the conscientious captain of the guard, and said to Li Yu, "Let's go directly to the lord of this place." ”
Li Yu nodded, "It's okay." ”
Returning to the inn, Ireya changed her clothes, and asked people to unfurl the rabbit flag of the Arias family, and then rushed straight to the city lord's mansion.
There, the two met Graymane Wilder, the lord of Richmond House, who ruled over Horn of Plenty.
The lord was a little shorter, but his face was extremely majestic, and he had a pair of warts under his eyes, which made his eyes look extraordinarily large, and everyone looked like they were staring at people.
Are you really the dragon slayer knight Ilea?!" Wild said word by word, "Why doesn't it look as majestic as it is rumored?" ”
Without waiting for the female lord to reply, his gaze had already moved to Li Yu on the other side.
"What about you, and who is the price? Why are you wearing such a strange outfit? ”
An old man beside him, dressed in brown, with ears of wheat embroidered on his chest, whispered something in his ear.
"Double-leaved teaching? What kind of church is that, I remember that the nobles of the West don't all believe in Picia, the goddess of the silver moon? Wilde frowned.
"I converted Saturday half a year ago, Sir Wild."
"Call me Greymane, so you've turned your back on your family's centuries-old faith?"
"Because I've found a god more to follow."
"What Saturday, Julius is the more worthy god to believe in," Wilder let out a scornful snort.
"Since believing in it, we've had more and more harvests, isn't it, Priest Helbert."
"That's right, sir." The old man named Helbert bowed.
"Forget it, don't talk about this kind of thing, since you have come to the Corner of Plenty, according to the etiquette among the nobles, I need to treat you well, and I have asked people to prepare a luncheon, so that you can see with your own eyes the richness of my territory."
"Wild, oh no...... Lord Greymane, we're here to ask for something. Miss Rabbit had to interrupt Wild's self-talk.
"What's the matter?" The latter snorted a few times and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at his feet.
"We'd like to visit one of your farmsteads."
"Farmstead?" Wilde was a little puzzled, "The winter wheat has been harvested, and you can't see ...... now."
"It's the farm where you held the Cursed."
After Ilea said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly suffocated, and then she saw Wild's face flush in the main seat, like a piece of pork liver.
The lord of Horn of Plenty roared, "I treat you as guests, and see how you repay me!" No manners, barbaric primitive, they all say that about those barbarians in the West, and sure enough, they are not wrong!! Govern. ”
Helbert, who was on the side, patted Wilder on the back to help the city lord calm his breath, and at the same time turned his head to Ilea and Li Yu.
"Sir Wild, who had lost two sons by that terrible curse, had sent his granddaughters there with his own hands just two days before. You should not have spoken of it in front of him. ”
"O Tonia, my poor granddaughter!" Graymane howled, and then began to cry.
It's hard to imagine a nobleman, and a city lord, crying loudly in front of the guests, seeing Gray Brown crying so sadly, and the anger of the female lord who was offended by his rude behavior before has also disappeared a lot.
Speaking again, "Don't worry, we're here to help you." ”
"Help me, just by you? You strangers, you don't know anything about what is happening in this land."
"I've seen similar curses before." Li Yu said.
"This can't be," Helbert shook his head, "this is Julius' test for us, and if you don't want to attend the next luncheon, then you should get out of here at once." ”
"You should at least give us a try, Prophet Merlin is very good at removing curses," Ilea shouted at Wilder, "he can even bring the dead back to life." ”
"It's just a trick of the Gentiles, and no one but the gods can bring the dead back to life." Helbert Road.
"Let this poor man rest for a while, even if it is only a moment of tranquility, and stop giving him the vague hope with those rhetoric, and taking away that hope, he can no longer withstand such a blow."
"Do you really want to give up at a time like this?" Instead of leaving, Ilea stepped forward, "Think of Donia, think of the other people in this city, you still have a chance to save them." ”
"It's just the nonsense of the infidels."
"Enough!" Graymane let out a loud roar, interrupting everyone's words, and then he looked at Li Yu.
"You're very good at rhetoric, I guess that's why the little girl of House Arias was seduced by you, but I'm different, I'm a mature and wise lord, and I'm strong enough in my faith."
Li Yu didn't speak, just stretched out his hand, hooked his fingers, and let the wine glass in front of Wilde fly into his hand.
