984. Demon Town
On the outskirts of the city of Solander in the southeastern kingdom, Horn Trist, a middle-aged man with a mediocre appearance, and the notorious pirate Jack are walking side by side on the path, and due to the earlier storm and pirate attack, there is no one on the road.
"Now you're satisfied? You're a pirate of the level of a Sky Knight, and you're a terrifying presence across the ocean. Horn said to Jack beside him, "You'd better get used to his body and memory quickly, and then stay away from me and bring trouble to his men." ”
"From now on, just call me Jack, since you have to make a full set, don't be found by those pesky magicians," Jack, who looks like a pirate, but is actually occupied by a high-ranking priest of an ancient god, said with a smile, "Also, you want to drive me away like that?" ”
Horn said unabashedly: "It's better for you to stay away from me, I'm going back to the demon town, there are many people there, they must know you, Redbeard Jack." ”
"You guy," Jack (Toth) grinned at a terrifying angle, and his only remaining eyes stared at Horn, "If you want to play tricks on people's hearts, or you are so good, you can actually pit those witches, and then shamelessly ask them to take you in!" ”
"So what? I did keep that Ioni away from the Galloping Horse family schemes, and I also told her the secret of Susie Landarin,...... I deserve their hospitality now...... At least I'll make it up to them later. Speaking of being taken in by the demons in the southeast, Horn was obviously a little unhappy in his heart.
"Hey, you've had your bad times," Jack said with a laugh, "but you still can't find Ioni, can you?" She was probably sheltered by some god. ”
"That's okay, it won't delay me from staying here." Horn smiled and said, "It's you, your soul originally offended that Rand Galloping Horse, and now the body you found has also offended him, you can be regarded as offending him to death."
If I were you, I would be honest and stable for hundreds of years, and then ...... after that good daughter of yours has forgotten about you."
Jack (Toth) shook his head: "I don't have that time, I can feel that His Majesty is calling me, I want him to return to the kingdom of God that belongs to him as soon as possible!" ”
Horn sneered, and prayed for this old friend who didn't know whether to live or die for 3 seconds, "Good luck to you, I'm coming." ”
While talking, the two walked outside the gate of a small town, which was the largest gathering place of demons in the Southeast Kingdom, the town of Mozi River.
The size of the town is not large, except for the Viscount's Castle outside the town, which is surrounded by a ring of towering wooden walls.
The two of them were about to enter the town gate when Horn suddenly stopped.
"That's not right! There's danger here! Horn whispered, "Let's go!" Get out of here now! ”
"What do you mean?" Jack didn't understand what Horn meant.
"Hurry up! Don't ask me why! ”
……
Although the town of the Mez River is nominally under the jurisdiction of the second prince of the Southeast Kingdom, that is, the owner of the Viscount's Castle, in reality, everything in the town is governed by the mayor's courtyard in the center of the town.
The courtyard was not large, but it was no less than any aristocratic mansion, and even the height of the tower was only slightly shorter than that of the Viscount's Castle.
Now in the mayor's room, the three old men are looking stiffly behind their desks, looking through the rand of the town's resident roster.
"Your Majesty King Rand, we live here, but with the approval of the God Emperor himself, we ......"
The old man standing in the center said cautiously, under his dark skin, there was a faint golden light, a pair of curved horns on his forehead that were half a meter long had gradually crystallized, on his long goatee, there were several demon pattern knots, and under a wide demon pattern robe, there was a pair of recurved goat hooves.
Not only him, but the two old men beside him are not far behind him.
"Since Your Majesty has approved you to live here, you should cherish the good days in front of you," Rand didn't even raise his eyes to look at a few, but said to himself, "Don't challenge Your Majesty's authority, especially the Demon Net, you say?" ”
Both Rand and the old man understood that the town in front of them was the place where the empire specially placed the descendants of the demon race, and after the failure of the demon invasion 300 years ago, almost every nobleman had descendants with demon blood.
These descendants chose the former between humans and demons, and even many of them even made war exploits for the empire, so it is impossible to disappear from the empire overnight.
Therefore, the empire concentrated these descendants in the southeast and south, where the density of magic furnaces is relatively low, reducing the probability of blood activation and breaking through the high-level probability of their descendants, in an attempt to slowly dissolve them with time.
However, even so, the demons in the empire cannot come to the stage after all, even if the three old men have reached the peak of the high rank, and there is also the title of the imperial viscount, but in the face of the threat of Rand, they are still at a complete disadvantage.
The old man's face twitched, and he could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty Rand, no, Venerable Demon Forge Forger, as far as I know, Ioni accepted the invitation of a witch from Dragon's Tooth City to be involved in an assassination against the Marquis of Duma Wyvern, but the person who came to invite them made it clear that their fate is in the hands of one of your subordinates. ”
"Yes, I know," Rant nodded, "so she is now a priest to Her Majesty Lukea, the God of Life, and neither I nor Her Majesty Lukea think she deserves any punishment." But what I'm saying is that you shouldn't get involved in the war between the dragons and the sea. ”
"We ......"
"Didn't you reveal the name Susie Landarin to Fiat?" Lante's voice gradually turned cold, "And those evil sects of the front division of the palace, are you supporting?" Those potions that stimulate the body and soul, both the path of the demons and the devil fish collected from the sea, who else can make them? ”
"Your Majesty......"
"If you think about it, even if you have the protection of the empire, it doesn't mean that everything can be done by you, such as the ...... in the basement of this house" Rand made a mouth-shaped "magic furnace".
"Your Majesty, you can't ......"
Before the old men could finish speaking, a spatial rift was opened, and the legendary mage Crane walked out of it.
"Your Excellency, please ...... Rand" Before the old man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Crane.
"Let's all get out."
The legend waved his hand, and the demons present finally breathed a sigh of relief, and ran out of the house at a rapid speed, leaving only Rand and Crane to line up.
"I thought His Excellency Aung Zang would come over in person, after all, he likes to find me so much." Rand said with a shrug.
Angzang Zhuoqin has been in the Southeast Kingdom for hundreds of years, and the town of Mezi River is where he actually lives, and the demons here are even Angzang's subordinates back in the time of the Inquisition. It was with these subordinates that Angzang successfully cracked many cases of aristocratic demons.
However, whether it is today's Rand or Angzang Zhuoqin back then, it is difficult to say clearly, among those cases of demonization, how many of them are fishing law enforcement, and how many are legal reinstatement.
Once Rand turned the case from hundreds of years ago to the Great Council, it would inevitably cause the entire council to question the royal family, so Crane personally came to trade with Rand.
Klein looked at Rand, he knew that as early as when the witch in the Three-Tailed Fish Bar received the assassination order, Rand's purpose was to kill two birds with one stone, that is, to use an assassination, and at the same time involve the Southeast Kingdom and the front division of the palace, and block the infiltration of the two families into the Galloping Horse Plain and Hindukr at one time, but because of the personal action of the sea god, he only came to look for trouble today.
Looking at the Rand in front of him, Klein sighed and said, "Angzang will no longer care about the affairs south of Dragon's Tooth City in the future, and all the spies of the palace division can't go to the Galloping Horse Plains, are you satisfied now?" ”
"Deal!"
