174 Who stole our brimstone?

……

After a few words with little Paton, Matthew asked him to wait in the cemetery, and he quickly changed his clothes and rode to Rolling Stone.

Tonight is the day Rhaegar travels to Purgatory.

Matthew was going to see him off.

Ollie was so fast that what would have taken him half an hour on foot now took less than five minutes to arrive.

This provides a lot of convenience for Matthew.

Once in town, he found a hidden place to land, and Ollie automatically disguised himself as an ordinary horse.

Matthew went to the camp next door to the Lord's Palace, told Ollie to wait there, and walked in without a leash.

Rhaeggar's actions tonight are a secret.

Not many people in the Lord's Guard know about it either.

Matthew walked all the way over, greeted the knights standing guard, and made his way to the basement unhindered.

He waited a little before Zeller arrived.

Rhaegar and the two knights who accompanied him, Asma and Doreen, were even later.

Today.

With Rhaegar and Zeller's revelations, Matthew has a clearer understanding of the portal and the situation in the Blood Banner Kingdom.

The portal is currently semi-active.

This means that the Rolling Stones side can freely control the opening or closing of the portal, while the other teleportation array located in the Blood Banner Kingdom can only passively accept the arrangement here.

And the two knights, Asma and Doolin, were originally rushed back to the rescue because of the news that the three evil organizations were besieging Rolling Stone.

When they returned, they found that the evil organization had broken up, and they asked Rhaegar to open the door to purgatory.

They knew that Rhaegar would regularly hunt at the edge of Purgatory, so they applied to do it for them.

These two knights had returned from purgatory the day before yesterday.

Matthew failed to meet with them, and the information he learned was provided by Rhaegar during a casual conversation.

It is said that these two knights took advantage of the confrontation between the Blood Banner Kingdom and the Blue Great Tribe, and took the time to hunt many demons and demons, and this expedition harvested a lot of high-grade loot that can only be obtained by the lower planes.

This wave of loot can inject a shot in the arm for Rolling Stone's finances.

Only then did Matthew gain insight into the financial model of Rolling Stone-

It is no wonder that Rhaegar has been able to maintain such a generous policy at home while accumulating a lot of his own wealth.

Plainly.

It is to be gentle on the inside and plunder on the outside.

The tranquility and tranquility of Rolling Stones is actually a realistic fairy tale woven by Rhaegar herself.

Many industries are fed at a loss by the city hall.

Behind the happy smiles of every Rolling Rock resident, there may be a devil's corpse lying in a pool of blood.

It sounds a little funny, but it's just the way it is.

In this regard, Matthew has only two evaluations -

First, it's good;

Second, I'm glad I'm not a lord, otherwise I would have too much to worry about.

Despite having the portal to purgatory, hunting the devil is no joke.

The risks involved are much greater than looting surrounding villages.

Matthew pondered as Rhaegar looked at nothingness, but he probably put most of his energy into this.

Rhaegar and two other knights arrived.

They're still talking.

"The changes in Escany (between purgatory) are even more exaggerated than you might think, we haven't been there for a few years, only to find that it has changed a lot."

"Whether it is the Blood Banner Territory or the Blue Great Tribe, there are huge rune stones standing on their side of the road, as well as rune antennas and pillars of light that transmit energy."

"The speed at which their technology is changing is astounding, and I suspect that there are shadows of the outer planes or even gods behind both sides."

Asma walked as she adjusted her shoulder armor.

Matthew noticed that it seemed to be a type of implantable construction.

Previously, when Surreel talked about the construction technique, he said that the devils are good at implantable construction, and Asma and Du Lin have a strong shadow of implantable construction.

However, their structure is indeed relatively obvious, and even if it is implanted in the body, it is easy to distinguish with the naked eye.

And what they are talking about Matthew doesn't quite understand.

He only knew that the plane where the Blood Banner Kingdom was located was called Escana, and Escana was actually an area bordering purgatory and the abyss in disguise.

There, there lived a large number of Terrans, Tieflin (half-devils), and demonmen (half-demons).

The Terrans live in Fort Shenghui, far from the battlefield, with the Tieflin centered around the Kingdom of the Blood Banner and the Demons forming the Bruda Tribe.

The latter two have been in constant friction recently, and the war situation is erratic.

"How can it be so exaggerated, I also went to the "Deer Hunting Plains" last year, and although the devils have new weapons, their combat effectiveness has not been significantly enhanced."

Faced with Asma's reminder, Rhaegar appeared unimpressed.

Du Lin interjected:

"Rhaegar, you'd better believe what we've seen and heard, I've asked your knights, in order to reduce the damage ratio as much as possible, you've been taking them to plunder the small marginal forces in the past few years, and you haven't been close to the heart of Escana."

"But we are different, this time we went to the vicinity of the "Old Royal Capital", where the tribes have not only updated their new equipment, but also mastered a very strange resurrection technology!"

"Otherwise, how could Asma and I get hurt?"

Rhaegar frowned when he heard this, then nodded:

"I understand, I'll be careful, and when it comes to 'red and black', I'll find someone to understand."

"Damn, it's change again, it's been a heinous change these years, even purgatory is changing with each passing day, what do those prisoners in Tianlun Palace want to do?"

No one could answer his question.

Asma failed to adjust the shoulder armor for a long time, and finally could only forcibly stuff the protruding metal block back:

"This should be a work injury, and when I get to the Red and Black Castle, you should be able to find a suitable builder to handle it for me, right?"

Rhaegabi made an affirmative gesture:

"The premise is that they still recognize me as a bad descendant."

Du Lin snickered:

"They must recognize you, I heard that the people in power in the Blood Banner Kingdom are all women now, and they can't ask for you."

Rhaegar shuddered.

The pace of moving forward has slowed down a lot.

Go into the basement.

Several people greeted each other.

Rhaegar took out a palm-sized purple crystal ball and placed it in the pool next to the portal.

Followed by.

The whole gate lit up with a dark red glow.

This is a sign that the interdimensional portal is activating.

It takes about 5~10 minutes for the portal to be officially used.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Matthew handed a distress scroll to Rhaegar:

"Don't expect it to be of any use, even if you succeed in tearing it up, I will only receive your coordinates and messages after 1~2 days."

Rhaegar grumbled as he put away the distress scroll:

"Aren't mages able to come and go freely in all planes?"

Matthew nodded:

"Of course you can, wait for me to be legendary."

Rhaegar asks:

"How many years will it take you to be legendary?"

Matthew thought for a moment:

"In about fifty years?"

Durin laughed again, and it was evident that the female knight's laughter was low.

She apparently thought it was Matthew's joke.

Regar did the math:

"According to the average life expectancy of the Blood Banner family, I have about 150 years to live, so I should be able to live until the day of your legend."

"Remember to take me on a journey through the legendary plane when the time comes."

Matthew smiled:

"As long as you can live to that day, you will."

"Take care."

Rhaegar nodded solemnly.

He chatted with Zeller about the West, and it wasn't long before the portal was ready to use.

Asma was the first to walk through the door, followed by Doreen.

Rhaegar waved at the two of them and walked to the portal in full gear.

When you get to the door.

He suddenly stopped and looked back and said:

"If something happens to me, do you remember how to arrange the heirs of Rolling Stone?"

Zeller said calmly:

"The first pick was Seve Jr., the second pick was Parton Jr., and the third pick was Brad."

"If Sif is unwilling to become the lord of Rolling Stone, then little Paton will take the position directly."

Rhaegar nodded:

"Yes."

"Don't worry, I'm just going home, it's not so easy to die, it's just not at ease before parting, confirm it."

"I'm gone, and I won't see you for at least three months, so don't worry too much about me."

said.

He strode into the portal.

Until the light of the gate began to be extinguished.

Zeller suddenly breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?"

Matthew asked.

"Every time Rhaegar uses the teleportation array, there will be some small problems, and today is lucky, even the space-time rift that is never absent does not appear."

Zeller said with relief.

Matthew keenly asked:

"Have there been space-time rifts in previous years?"

Zeller nodded:

"Yes, there will be every time, for at least a week, pointing to the unknown places of purgatory, and sometimes as soon as Rhaegar leaves, we have to clean up the little devils he has provoked, although they are also good materials, but sometimes there are too many and nerve-wracking."

Matthew's heart moved.

Is it possible that the rift in time and space just changed places, and not didn't appear?

Think of it.

He didn't have time to say hello to Zeller, so he immediately rushed out of the barracks, mounted Ollie, and hurried in the direction of the oak forest!

A moment later.

In the dungeon.

Matthew swapped for the Red Flame Nightmare in the graveyard and rushed to the Brimstone Mines first.

Luckily, when he arrived, there were no unusual incidents.

After a while.

Little Parton also came over panting.

Seeing that the workers were all arranged by Matthew to go outside to rest.

He asked breathlessly:

"Did something happen?"

Matthew walked slowly and methodically through the brimstone mines, carefully perceiving everything around him.

He had actually been here three times, but even with the equilibrium perception turned on, he didn't find the space-time gap he expected.

So he thought it was his own misjudgment before.

But now, it seems that the sulfur in the mine is most likely related to the rift in time and space caused by Rhaegar using the Purgatory Portal.

Asma: They used a portal not long ago.

It is possible that from that time, the space-time rift was transferred to the dungeon by chance.

It is only a dozen kilometers away from the Lord's Palace, and from the perspective of planes, the transfer of the space-time rift is theoretically possible.

"I just have a certain guess about the anomalies here."

"I'll stay here tonight until the reason is found."

Matthew responds to little Parton as he checks on the mine, and summons Bing and Renysmay as well.

Little Parton was very bold, and immediately rolled up his sleeves when he heard this:

"Then I'll be with you."

He saw Matthew looking around, and he followed him to see what was going on in his mines.

It's a pity that the two of them worked for more than an hour, and still didn't find anything abnormal.

Matthew brought a chair from the workers' quarters and sat down.

Little Parton did the same.

Under the light of the mage's hand and the illuminating stone, Matthew suddenly noticed that little Patton and Rhaegar were quite similar.

The last time the two met was at the ball to greet Loraine, and the lights were dim and Matthew didn't see it too clearly.

This time, if you look closely, this kid is completely a little Rhaegar!

In comparison, Brad, who is also Rhaeggar's nephew, is not like him at all.

Thinking of Rhaegar arranging his posthumous affairs, he brought little Paton's inheritance ahead of Brad.

Matthew suddenly became interested in the young man who had lost his job as a tax collector due to Hua Liu's disease:

"What do you think of your uncle?"

Little Parton looked a little surprised:

"Uncle? Do you mean in Rhaeggar? ”

Matthew nodded.

He ...... A bad guy. ”

This guy dared to say it unexpectedly.

"And how much do you know about the relationship between him and the Blood Banner Kingdom?"

Matthew asked again.

Little Parton waved his hand and opened up the conversation:

"Theoretically, I also have the blood of the Blood Banner family, but in real life, thin is nothing.

When I was a kid, I dreamed of becoming a mage, but they told me I didn't have the talent;

So I wanted to be a knight, but they told me I was weak;

Later, when I got bad, I wanted to be a gentleman who eats, drinks and has fun, but my mother told me that there are no doors.

Our family's fortune was all based on my mother's death and confession to Rhaegar, and now we have what we are today in Rolling Stone.

Secretly telling you a secret, in fact, I suspect that my mother is not Rhaegar's cousin at all!

Maybe they just look a little alike, and my mother just happens to be a little bit of purgatory.

But luckily she gave birth to me, and many people said that I looked like Rhaeggar, which made my mother very happy.

For a while, she brought it up whenever she met people.

But gradually, such an outrageous rumor spread in Rolling Rock Town-

They say I'm actually Rhaeggar's illegitimate son.

Damn it.

Can those fools take a look at my mother's appearance and figure before spreading rumors?

Well, although it's not good to say that, I love Liz, she's my mom.

But I also knew very well that it was impossible for Rhaegar's aesthetic to look down on her.

Anyway, after that rumor, my mother never mentioned it again.

She seems to be subconsciously estranged, and I also started from this incident.

I guess she's worried that this will upset Rhaegar.

After all, our family is all pointing to this uncle. ”

Matthew looked at the other party with interest:

"You're pretty transparent."

Little Parton said indifferently:

"When you don't achieve anything like me, it becomes natural to give up on yourself, and after a long time, many truths are self-evident."

"Sometimes, I really think that a lot of people in this world are not as smart as me, but I don't know why, they always have an easy way to succeed, and I haven't achieved anything so far."

Matthew thought for a moment and took the initiative to ask another question:

"What would you do if you had an army of demons from Purgatory at your disposal, just in time for war to break out?"

Little Parton smiled lightly:

"Rhaegar asked me this question a while ago, he wouldn't be bothered by the portal now, would he?"

Matthew was secretly surprised.

He didn't expect Rhaegar to trust little Parton so much, and even discussed such a core secret with him, no wonder Seve was behind him.

So Matthew went on to ask:

"That's it, but Rhaegar has made a decision in the end, I just want to know what you think."

Little Parton stretched:

"There is still no sign of the devil in Rolling Stone, which shows that my rotten uncle made a stupid decision.

Was he naïve enough to think that he could get along with the other forces? ”

Matthew took two cups out of his bag, filled them with milk, and handed them to the other party:

"So, you don't agree with Rhaeggar's decision to refuse to bring in the Devil's Army?"

Little Parton held the milk in his hand, grabbed the cup between his hands and rubbed it:

"If you have a sharp weapon and don't use it, you will be hurt by it—this is a proverb I read in an ancient book."

"It's not that I'm not optimistic about Rhaegar's decision, but I'm not optimistic about every one of his decisions."

"Although I have no conscience to say this, it is true, Rolling Stone, we are not the only ones who live by sucking the blood of Legar.

It was clear to me that I was able to live now thanks to Rhaeggar's kindness and fantasy.

But some people don't recognize this.

Of course, as long as Rhaegar is willing, it doesn't matter if people appreciate it or not.

But the key is, how long can Rhaegar last?

Rolling Rock is a fairytale wonder.

If the next four realms are safe, maybe this miracle will continue for many years.

But as you said, war is coming.

If Rhaegar can't, or even doesn't want to be king.

How long can the current situation last? ”

That's all that is said and done.

He drank the milk with a grunt, and then burped:

"Awesome milk!"

"Well, what I just said is just a family's words, no reference value, I hope that Rolling Stone Town can prosper for a long time, only in this way, useless rice worms like me can continue to lie on Rhaegar and suck blood happily."

Little Patton laughed to himself, got up and said to go to the toilet next to him.

Matthew sat there with a lot of thoughts going through his head.

But at this time.

There was a whining wind above his head.

Followed by.

It's the sound of a clang.

A huge brimstone fell from above, and if it weren't for Matthew's quick reaction, he would have almost been brushed to the edge!

"Something!"

As soon as he walked to the side, little Patton who unbuttoned his pants to make it easier screamed.

But in the darkness, a monster that resembled a green-headed fly, but hundreds of times larger than a green-headed fly, flew at him.

"Fuck your mother, I'm going to be scared when I pee!"

The guy was so bold that he lowered his pants and drew a one-handed sword with his backhand, and just like that, he fought the giant green-headed fly naked.

And next to Matthew, a similar monster also appeared.

The other party came quickly, and Matthew reacted faster, and he took out the mace from the shortcut bar of the magic bag and went down with a hammer.

Should I say it or not, the hand-to-hand combat hammer is still easy to use.

The green-headed fly obviously wanted to dodge, but before it could avoid the vital point, it was directly hammered to the ground by Matthew.

The horse mended it with a hammer and killed it.

Meanwhile.

Little Parton also used his one-handed sword to fly the monster's wings, and then killed it with a single sword.

"It's a fly!"

Matthew reminded:

"This is a type of demon, but the level is relatively low, so don't be afraid."

"You come to me first, there may be other demons appearing!"

Say it's too late, then it's too fast.

In the darkness where the fly demon had appeared at the beginning, two more sturdy bull-headed men appeared.

They were covered in heavy armor.

Walk with a tiger.

Seeing this, Little Parton hurriedly pulled his pants back and retreated.

Matthew immediately asked Ah Bing to come over to answer.

……

"Warning: You have encountered a Minotaur (LV12/Elite/Large Demon)"

……

Minotaurs are not minotaurs.

The difference is that the former is a type of demon, and they have sharp teeth, which are in stark contrast to the flat molars of the Minotaur who have a vegetarian habit.

As soon as the two minotaurs appeared, they were there purring and roaring.

Matthew lost his ability to speak the language, who knew that the minotaur spoke the bird language was too obscure to even determine this spell.

Seeing this, Matthew planned to finish the fight.

But at this time, I heard little Parton translate as he retreated:

"They asked us, who stole their sulfur?"

"If I don't say it, they're going to snatch me back as a wife!"

"Damn, can't these demons tell the difference between men and women?"

"I didn't even have my pants on! Are they blind? ”

Matthew silently paid attention to the minotaur's dark green eyes, and said casually:

"They probably like you too much."

"Can you translate for me?"

As he spoke, the two minotaurs had already rushed up with huge axes!

Little Parton rolled his head down and asked loudly:

"Do you still need a translator?"

Matthew's tone was smooth and authentic:

"Not anymore."

"Just be ready to translate their last words."

The voice fell.

He raised his hand, and a gray flash of magic flicked at the minotaur.

Dissociation!
