The merchant who spoke first had obviously drunk too much, and his conversation was particularly strong. So as soon as he heard this topic, he joined in with great interest, lowered his voice, and looked a little mysterious: "Do you know why I am optimistic about this place? In addition to the kindness of the lady, the lord here is too powerful." Legends are all out there that he has the nickname 'Demon Lord'."

"Poof!" Pixiu, who had been very curious and was listening, suddenly squirted. His face was full of mockery and he glanced at Dip, "Demon Lord?"

Dipu's face looked like he had eaten stool, but the man was still unconscious, and he continued: "I have heard that this lord is extremely cruel, and his reputation can stop children crying at night. Whether he is in the Empire, or on the orc's side, or on the plains, he is killing people's heads. And ......," the man looked around cautiously, and lowered his voice three points more, "and he was very lustful, and had heard that his castle had been filled with so many beautiful women that the good Lady Lisa's heart was broken." Fortunately, the lord was not often in the territory, and entrusted the internal affairs to Lady Lisa. Otherwise...... Tsk!"

The man shook his head and snorted, with the pleasure of whispering the privacy of the big man behind his back. Pixiu found it even more interesting, he stopped Dipu's possible madness with his eyes, and continued to ask, "Since the lord here is so bad, then how did you come up with the idea of opening a shop here?"

"You don't understand that. "That man is a good teacher. Pixiu's attractive appearance also played a role here, "It's because the lord is so powerful, so he can rest assured." Think about it, what kind of place is this? There are so many thieves and orcs in the plains, and they are so close to the orc kingdom. And also. Even those war slaves in the territory were not good before, and they all rebelled. If you don't have such a strong lord, you would have been in chaos a long time ago. But don't worry. This lord doesn't mess around in his own territory, does he? and the kind and merciful Lady Lisa. There is one thing, if there are any beautiful ladies and dependents, let them not show their faces in front of the lord. But...... Actually, although the lord is lustful, I heard that he is very good to several ladies. If a commoner daughter like us can marry such a master, it will also be blessed by God......"

In Pixiu's burst of laughter, Dipp's face was completely blackened......

……

As soon as he left the tavern, Dipu hurriedly explained to Pixiu: "Grandpa Pixiu! That's all rumors and slander!"

Dipu didn't know that it was because the Blackeye was in the middle of nowhere. At that time, only Lisa was left to take care of the house, and in order to suppress the internal and external forces of all parties, he began to publicize Dipu's bravery in the territory and even in the entire plain, intentionally or unintentionally. However, as it was passed on, it changed its tune, and in the end, "bravery" became "brutal".

And the anger of Dipu against the killing of prisoners that year led to the hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war of the Black Flag Army being sent to the Black Eye Collar at a discount. And in the hearts of these war slaves, there is no gratitude. Because the brutal image of Dipp at that time was too impressive. As a result, in word of mouth, the glorious image of the "Demon Lord" of Dipuna was widely spread.

So in the black collar. The image of the cruel lord and the kind lady is also deeply popular. But this is also very in line with the aesthetic sense of the majority of civilians, isn't it said in fairy tales - are demons all succumbing to kind and beautiful girls for love?

Pixiu, of course, understands that these are rumors. But he liked to see Dipu look ugly: "Little doll, notoriety, I'll say to Pradona." ”

"Oh, don't!" said Dip was anxious. "Look more, learn more, I'm not that kind ......of person! Hmph!"

As he was expressing his anger with his nose, he heard Pixiu ask with a smile, "Do you want to kill people?"

"How can this be?" said Dipu at once. "That's it...... Originally, they met by fate, and they were going to give their shops a discount. Not anymore. I'm a good person. He has a lot of gas and is not afraid of gossip. So I ...... Not angry at all!haha!"

"Hmph!" this time it was Pixiu's turn to use his nose to express his contempt for Dipp......

No matter what kind of rhetoric Dipu is, this time he is undoubtedly losing face in front of Pixiu. However, disasters do not go alone, and shameful things are one after another. When they came to a place four or five miles away from the Black Eye, they were not met with the "grand welcome ceremony" that Dipu boasted about.

It's not that no one came to greet them, which means that it's not that the women of Dipu have forgotten, but that they did it on purpose. And the man who came to greet him also stunned Dip, it was the one - Viscount Gambitt.

I don't know if you remember? This Viscount of Gumbit once tried to forcibly take Dipp's black-eyed collar? Later, he was beaten up by Dipu and humiliated at the auction? Later, he infiltrated the expeditionary force, and by currying favor with Count Daniel, the commander of the expeditionary force, he extorted 400 million gold coins from Dipp on the Magic Lake Island? Then he obtained a small territory on the divided Magic Lake Island and became a minor lord of Dipp? In a word, this Viscount of Gambit basically appeared as Dipp's enemy.

However...... Now, Dipu can't help but look up at the blue sky, is this sun coming out of the west?

And the Viscount of Gumbitt didn't seem to notice Dipu's stunnedness, and he stroked Dipu's chest with great enthusiasm and respect: "Your lordship, welcome back." You can be safe and sound, and the lower officials are very happy. ”

"Wait!" Dipu couldn't understand Viscount Gumbit's self-title, "What kind of official?"

"Oh!" Viscount Gumbit introduced himself with a smile on his face, "Thanks to Lady Lisa's kindness, the contemptible is now the Lord's Clerk, responsible for assisting in the internal affairs of the realm. ”

To be honest, Dipp's mind was completely out of order at this point. Why would Lisa appoint this enemy as a clerk?, however, there was a matter of urgency, and Dipu could not pay attention to the things of Viscount Gumbit for the time being. He asked anxiously, "Is the family okay......?" None of them came?"

"All is well!" said Viscount Gumbitt with a flattering smile. He hesitated for a moment, then explained in a whisper, "After the other ladies returned, they had a little friction with Lady Lisa, so they all ...... today. Actually, they all miss you. ”

Dipu immediately realized that his own flowers and grass had caused the ladies to be jealous of each other. And behind him, Pixiu's burst of laughter sounded again...... (To be continued.) )
