Section 10: The villain who finally appeared

Rosie piles the dried blades of grass in the barn, missing the busy lord back outside.

They had emptied the blades of grass, leaving only some dead grass stalks and leaves in the clearing, and Silo was crouching to pick them up and gather to the cattle pen to attract the attention of the herd.

Lotsy, wiping beads of sweat from his forehead, came to his younger brother's side, watched him hand a blade of grass to a cow, and chanted: "Eat more, eat enough to have the strength to fight, and let us eat if we die." ”

"Silo, this is a cow." Rosie said helplessly.

The herd in the pen suddenly became restless, and Rosie hurriedly pulled her brother away.

"Leila!" He said to the goblins commanding in the distance, "What's wrong with these cows! ”

"My name is Dolai." "Our lord is greeting the big man."

"Big shots?"

"You don't know yet, do you? It is rumored that Lord Annan has a blue dragon ......"

……

"This is the famous 'Jack'?" The young nobleman who broke into the big house looked at the empty house with contempt, "Look, the place where you live, like a slum, is like a slum, and you are still burning cow dung, and you have lost the face of the Reeves family. ”

Annan looked at Ingrid who brought him over: "This guy has been judging from the beginning, is he the crown prince from the royal capital?" ”

"This is Gema Diatra of the Diatra family." Ingrid said.

The family of Diatra, one of the twelve kings of the North.

"Rude!"

The aristocratic boy named Gema retorted, "I didn't hear respect from your words, 'Jack', you let such a person be a butler? ”

"Butler? She was Olmedo's assistant. Annan was worried that this was too complicated for him and explained: "Olmedo is the lord of Breeze City, and Breeze City is east of Starmoon Bay, and the east is the direction you came from. ”

"I'm not stupid!" The boy makes a duck-like cry that is unique to the voice-changing period.

The dinosaur outside the house sensed the anger of its master, exuded a low roar of menace, and was appeased by the servant.

Annan frowned slightly and asked Ingrid: "Is my status higher or his status higher?" ”

Ingrid has long had enough of this guy's arrogance along the way: "You are the rightful heir, one of the current twelve kings of the North, he is just the second son who has no inheritance, you teach him like the old master teaches you." ”

Annan knew what to do, and let the cavalry who had arrived due to the breath of the dinosaur retreat.

"Ogre, I remember you haven't eaten people in a long time?"

"When we were still in Breeze." The ogre stared cooperatively at the boy's neck, "I hope his head is delicious and not rancid." ”

The proud boy finally took a step back out of fear.

"So you came all the way to my territory to make a big fuss, what do you want to do?"

"I think it's good here......" but he quickly stepped forward again, like a proud bullduck, "transfer this land to me, and you will get my friendship." ”

Gema Diatra's actions succeeded in causing the good-tempered Annan to be upset. A villain who stops the protagonist in all stories? But is it too late to show up?

"What are these commoners talking about?"

Annan took out the majesty of the King of the Northβ€”but that would only make people want to hug him and rub him: "As an elder, I won't mind your offense, but you don't want to be spanked by me taking off your pants, right?" ”

"Do you think I'm joking? If you refuse, I'll build a bustling harbor to your southβ€”"

"I refuse." Annan interrupted him.

Soon after, Gema Diatra, who had run into a wall, walked out of the house with his servants with an ugly face, and almost ran into one of the lords as he left the camp.

"Children are more annoying than rat people."

Annan said. And he is a fool of unknown meaning, proud, arrogant, and unclear about the situation.

"He seems to be about your age." The ogre said.

"We're not the same, he doesn't have the same experience as me that I killed the rat people with my own hands...... Is he a girl? Annan asked suddenly, without warning.

Ingrid, who was still looking at their distant figures, retracted her gaze: "What are you thinking?" ”

"Uh...... Not what you think. ”

Annan just didn't want Olmedo's to happen again, so he changed the subject and asked, "Ogre, did you eat people before you left?" ”

"Evan handed me the torn dead skin to eat."

Evan is Abby's younger brother.

"What does it smell like?"

"It doesn't feel as good as ...... Apple pie. ”

"So how did this guy come back with you?"

Ingrid said: "He was a guest at the City Lord's Mansion and said that he wanted to visit Xingyue Bay, so the City Lord asked us to bring him over. ”

Annan believed that Olmedo did it on purpose. She couldn't stand this idiot, so she had to make herself unbearable.

"By the way, didn't I let you stay in Sunset Plains, why did you come back too?" Annan remembered his plan.

The ogre said: "I hired some workers to collect charcoal, which takes time. ”

There are also supplies that are still on the way, and the ogres have rushed back early.

As night fell, the people watched "The Fall of the Mage Tower" in the open space without fear of the cold, and Annan, the ogre, and the guards came to the headland and summoned the blue dragon in the undisturbed house.

……

In the dense forest in the southern part of Starmoon Bay, Gema photographed a mirror that shimmered with magic runes. Now he is still proud, but he is no longer arrogant like a fool.

"Magic Mirror, is this it?"

"This is it." The mirror drills an icy echo.

"With all due respect, master, the lord may not know......," the servant reminded, "those wooden houses are like bandit camps, Levi has no plan at all, maybe he was just forced by the family to ......"

The servant's tone changed suddenly: "Young master, that city lord is coming towards us......"

In the darkness of the night, several figures with torches appeared on the headland and burrowed into the house.

"I'll go take a look."

Gema unleashed her concealment technique to hide her figure, and quietly approached the headland, and her intermittent conversation was blown by the sea breeze:

"Beautiful and ...... His Excellency the Blue Dragon...... Long time no see...... It's getting colder in the north...... I'd love to ...... I'll give you some edible ...... The maid of the ...... You say there's someone out there? ”

Gema was terrified, and at the same time applied the light feather spell and the shield spell, and instantly burrowed into the dark jungle.

Annan and the others who chased after him only saw a shadow.

The captain of the guard called his subordinates: "Who is on duty tonight?" ”

"Captain Teddell."

"Let him lead the team to chase, and don't come back if he can't find anyone."

"That person is Gema Diatra." The orc said, "I smell him." ”

That night, Starmoon Bay was on alert for spying and raids, but nothing happened. The next day was also until the third day, when Annan received the news that the second son of the Diatra family had carved out a territory about 200 miles south of Xingyue Bay.

The message was accompanied by a letter from Olmedo. There is only one sentence in the letter: the wheat is harvested when it is ripe.

Well, it looks like the next long winter won't be boring.
