107. Once upon a time in Wendy

"Lord Viscount, we meet again"

To Rand's surprise, outside the tailor's shop, Rand met Dugen Blue Dragon, the school's combat examiner, a high-ranking knight, and a former captain of a knightly order, who was fighting for him.

"What a coincidence" Rand was a little surprised to see Du Yi, and in his impression, the examiner had some opinions about himself.

"It's not a coincidence, I'm waiting for you here." Dugan's attitude was sincere, but Rand didn't understand why Dugan was here.

Dugan Blue Dragon invited Rand to a restaurant of no low grade, compared to the small restaurant near the school, the decoration here is very magnificent, and even the drinks are extracted from magic plants.

"I want to join your territory." Dugan said bluntly, "To be honest, I used to be the squadron leader of the Palace Knights, and I was assigned to the school as a teacher nine years ago because of some things. ”

Of course, Rand knew that Du Yi must have changed from the captain of the Knights to the school examiner because of the palace coup d'Γ©tat that year.

"You are a high-ranking knight, there should be a lot of nobles who want you to be a family knight, right?" Rand didn't know what Duggan really thought,

I just thought it was a little weird that he suddenly brought it up, so Rand wanted to play haha and mix it up today.

"I've been in school for nine years."

Rand was right to think about it, so he simply opened the skylight and said something bright. "In that case, why do you want to join my territory?"

"As far as I know, you now have a knight group of hundreds of people, but there are no high-level knights or grand knights to lead the team, and I have a lot of experience in this area, I am willing to hand over to you a few group skills of the past palace knights."

Rand didn't speak, he was really moved, with his number of junior and intermediate knights, he only needed one or two senior knights as the leader, and his galloping knights were capable of suppressing the maned wolf knights.

But Dugan has a congenital shortcoming, his surname is Blue Dragon, and now Rand is really not sure whether Dugan simply wants to come over by himself, or if he was appointed by the Blue Dragon family.

Although Rand was only a viscount now, he had already regarded the entire southern part of the Galloping Horse Plain as his territory two months ago, and he didn't want the powerful Blue Dragon Family to take a fancy to it.

"I do have a knightly order of hundreds of people, and I do need a strong captain," Rand finally spoke, "but Mr. Dugan, why would you deign to come to the knighthood of a viscount?"

I have a lot of demons, but most of them are miners in the salt works, and they may have to return to the salt mines in the future.

I don't have any wars to fight at the moment, and I don't plan to go to war with my lord. ”

"I know that if you have any grievances against the Maned Wolf family, you can just bring it up directly under Blue Magpie City at that time," Duggan smiled, knowing that Rand hadn't rejected him at least.

"I chose you because you have already taken the territory of Lot, and you will definitely open up the entire Galloping Horse Plain in the future"

"I'm not the first Viscount Roth"

"But you are the first Viscount Roth to sweep across the Prancing Horse Plains, you can't let the barbarians farm to feed themselves, can you?

There are not only salt mines but also iron mines on the plains, and only when you win the iron mines can you really sit on the Galloping Horse Plain.

But even if you sit still, you'll still need a group of high-ranking knights or even great knights to guard you out. ”

Yes, everyone knows this little bit of caution, and the steps Du He said are basically Rand's future plans.

Rand found it difficult to hide his plans, even in the Frontier.

"So I'm curious to know, is it your family's kindness that you came to me today?"

"The Blue Dragon family has kindness to you, but it has nothing to do with me, there are more than 40 families under the Blue Dragon surname, and in my family, there has only been one Magister, and I am the first high-level knight"

"Well, before I answer you, I want to ask you an old thing"

"My lord, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to answer you about 9 years ago."

"Not 9 years, only 5 years," Rand replied as he thought, "Who cares about your coup d'Γ©tat 9 years ago"

。。。。。。。

"You mean the conflict between the nobles and the commoner mage's apprentices five years ago, I see," Dugan said, as if he were stuck in a memory.

"I remember that girl's name was Wendy, right?

That's really an unforgettable girl, at that time, the Tower of Purity was specially given a place."

Rand didn't expect that this matter could actually involve the imperial capital, and originally thought that it was a jealous matter between students.

"What's the matter with the Tower of Innocence?"

"You don't think that a noble kid can kidnap a commoner student on his own, do you? Anyway, this school was founded by His Excellency McLaren. ”

"When Wendy came back then, it was just in time for a group of intermediate magicians from the Tower of Purity to come over as teachers, and this is an exchange program between the Tower of Purity and the magic schools of various kingdoms.

At that time, Wendy had already shown a talent for magic that was far beyond the ordinary, and she could even communicate with magical goblins, which was believed to be something only a magister could do.

So towards the end of the project, the magicians of the Tower of Purity brought in Grand Magister Teferi, who had been working to find potential apprentices to magic, and after a series of tests, he secured a spot for the Dragon Kingdom to go to the Tower of Purity.

That quota was to allow the kingdom to send a magic apprentice directly to the Tower of Innocence, although it was not explicitly stated, but this quota was obviously for Wendy. ”

"So that spot hurt Wendy?"

"Yes, the Tower of Purity means the path of legend, and no one will not be tempted."

"Whose child went?"

"Wyvern"

"I see," Rand somewhat understood, "but are they so merciful?" Didn't kill Wendy? ”

"You... You should stay in school for a few more days and finish the basics," Dugan said with some embarrassment.

"After the unification of the Church, that is, from 300 years ago, after the unnatural death of the demon supporter of faith, his resentment and afterimage will be detected by the church and sent to the Imperial Judgment Division, once the Judgment Division believes that the demon supporter was deliberately murdered, it will send corresponding forces to verify and punish it." Duggan explained.

Therefore, the investigation of the remnants of the deceased is called the final death complaint, and the formal system ensures that the battle between the Terran demon bearers will not be harmed.

Of course, such a death final complaint system will be difficult to work on the Galloping Horse Plain because of the magic turbulence, and the barbarians do not kill the human demon supporters just to increase the slaves, and the human race does not kill each other is a real divine guarantee.

This also explains that in the previous combat assessment, Dugan has been playing foil with Rand, and Rand has been using lethal moves, because in Dugan's eyes, the warring parties must avoid killing people by mistake; And Rand has been fighting on the plains of galloping horses, only knowing to avoid missing the kill.

"This is what children have to learn in their first month of school, and there are three important points that you must remember as a demon hunter, but you don't think you need this one on the Galloping Horse Plains."

"That's why there are so many exiled or ostracized demon lovers on the Galloping Horse Plains," Rand finally understood why he had been able to "pick up" so many subordinates in the previous two months

"Of course, there are always exceptions to everything, and it is said that the nobles of Kirislavia were particularly rough in their work, and often drunk their enemies in winter and threw them into the river, because the death appeal requires the deceased to have a strong grudge, so it is likely that drunken drowning will not cause the death lawsuit."

"But there will always be doubts," Rand might have guessed, "Judge Dugan, I do need a high-ranking knight, but I also need to prove your abilities. ”

So Rand arranged a task for Dugan to help him find student information.

Of course, Dugan didn't just bring his mouth, he sent a letter to Rand, asking Rand to pass it on to Count Corbin Joathan, saying that the count could take care of Rand more after reading the letter.
