Chapter 432: Harmon Cook
"Cultivator?"
Harmon Cook sneered disdainfully, and put the information in his hand on the table: "Xiao Qiang is also a famous general, how can he find such a ridiculous reason, really I am just a reckless man?"
After the south of Caiyun fell into division, the central royal court always wanted to find an opportunity to come over and get a piece of the pie, but unfortunately it was pressed by the barbarians in the north and the army of the eastern king of Caiyun East, and they were powerless, so they stopped.
This time, Xiao Qiang, the commander of the Central Royal Court Wangcheng Guard Army, would actually find such a stupid reason as "searching for and arresting the cultivators who escaped", and wanted to bring the army into the country, which was simply a great insult to his IQ.
Harmon Cook certainly has reason to be angry. Born into a family of generals, what he hated most was that people regarded him as a butcher with only violence and killing in his head. He went to the world to prove that he was different from the rest of his family.
Forgot to mention that Harmon Cook's father was Levi Cook, the former Praetorian Commander of the South of the Clouds, a standard professional soldier with nothing but violence and killing butchers in his head. Whether it's to the enemy, or to the family.
Levi Cook is still loyal to the royal family of the South King after the bloodline of the South King is severed, and he is convinced that one day the blood of the South King will return to the South of the Clouds. For this reason, he did not hesitate to be the enemy of all the separatist forces in the south of Caiyun. If it weren't for Gondor being the capital of the south of the clouds, with its high walls and thick walls, and the invincible royal guards, I'm afraid Levi Cook would have been attacked by a group and defeated to death!
Hamon Cook, who had lived in such a family since he was a child, tried his best to get rid of his father's shadow and old-fashioned patriotic education, so he did not hesitate to resist becoming his father's successor and take over the position of the commander of the royal guard.
One day, Hamon Cook will fight back to Gondor and prove it to everyone in the South of the Clouds.
He, Harmon Cook, the son of Levi Cook, defeated his father and became the new "king" of the South of the Clouds!
The ideal is very full, but in order to realize the ideal, we must start from now.
Harmon Cook flipped through the information at hand again, checking for anything useful. He is a man who aspires to be a "king", and if he wants to achieve great things, he can't slack off.
"Huh, the cultivator's charm?"
Harmon Cook couldn't help but be surprised, picked up a piece of information and looked at it carefully.
It was the news brought back by the knights sent to the border, about a border town that was about to be deserted, and had recently received a stack of charms left by a passing cultivator, and relied on it to eliminate a group of bandits entrenched around it.
The knight who delivered the news didn't believe that there would be cultivators passing by in such a remote town, so he just passed the news back to Zhivadine as an anecdote.
But when Harmon Cook combined the previous information from Xiao Qiang's side, this matter became not simple.
Both sides said that there was a cultivator who had entered the south of Caiyun, and the time and place were so close that one couldn't help but wonder about the connection.
Is the cultivator who left the spell the cultivator who was hunted down by Xiao Qiang?
Harmon Cook felt that there was a great secret hidden in this, and that this secret was extremely dangerous, and that if he didn't get it right, his rule would be shaken.
Harmon Cook himself knows very well what it means to be a cultivator, that is, a "god" like existence that is beyond ordinary people, and a powerful cultivator can even call the wind and rain and rewrite the outcome of a war that has already been won or lost.
The first and last time he came into contact with a cultivator was when he was a child.
At that time, although the king of the south had been ill for a long time, he had not yet died. The ministers of the south of the clouds began to move. Zhao Menghai, the prime minister of the left, united dozens of Praetorian Guard generals to launch a coup d'état, and once controlled the entire capital Gondor. His father, Levi Cook, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, naturally refused to go along with the rebellion, and struggled to support the rebels, but he was defeated one after another. In the most critical situation, their whole family was even ready to self-immolate and die for the country. Harmon Cook's mother calmly held a torch and stood guard in front of the door, and as soon as the news of Levi Cook's martyrdom came, she immediately set fire to the house!
Harmon Cook remembers the pungent smell of fire oil, a shadow of horror that he still can't forget.
That night was a long, hard, sleepless night for the people of the capital, Gondor. For Harmon Cook, even more so.
Everyone was waiting, but the news of the defeat was delayed.
The capital city of Gondor had become cloudy for a short time, the wind was blowing, and the sound of thunder was faintly heard in the direction of the palace.
As soon as dawn broke, news came from the palace that everyone could not believe.
Zhao Menghai failed.
The cultivators of the royal family personally took action, and with their own strength, they wiped out all the rebels besieging the palace.
Everyone in the capital Gondor cheered, and Hamon Cook breathed a sigh of relief that their whole family didn't have to die. He ran out of his house and went straight to the palace. Hamon Cook not only went to pick up his father, but also wanted to see the cultivator who turned the tide. But when he arrived at the palace, he found his father standing silently outside the palace of the king of the south with a gloomy face.
That night, the "king" of the south of the clouds stopped breathing.
The bloodline of the royal family was cut off, and the cultivator could be regarded as paying off the cause and effect, and disappeared without a trace after cutting off the rebels.
No one knew where the cultivator had gone, or when he would reappear. However, his strength was deeply engraved in the hearts of the people of the capital who witnessed it on that day. Harmon Cook is no exception.
Therefore, Harmon Cook was so dismissive of the reason given by Xiao Qiang before. In his eyes, after a long period of cultivation, cultivators will grow into powerful and mysterious "gods". The monarchs of every country, as long as their brains are not pumped, will pay tribute to them, even if they can't keep them in the country to worship, they don't dare to offend them easily, how can they be chased thousands of miles away? Even if the Caiyun King really has a brain pump, and sends someone to arrest the cultivators and return to the central royal court, is it really worth risking causing a border dispute and breaking into the south of Caiyun?
These strange mysteries haunt Harmon Cook's heart, and he can't see through the hidden secrets.
However, judging from the time, place, person, event, etc. of the two pieces of information, Caiyun Nanli did break into an alien cultivator, and his strength was not very strong at present.
If only you could find that cultivator first, and then let him use it for his purposes......
Today's South of the Clouds is the Warring States Period, and although Hamon Cook's strength is the strongest among the princes, there is no absolute certainty that he will be able to eliminate all the forces and unify the South of the Clouds. But if he can get the help of the cultivators, then there will be hope for his hegemony.
"Gotta find him!
Harmon Cook's eyes lit up, and a flame called "desire" burned in his heart.
