Working Prophet.

Chapter 694 The Domestication of Hounds

Kieran and Yinshou looked at these nobles who used to rely on their status and ignored them, but now they all smiled, and some people took out gold coins and stuffed them secretly.

Kieran slapped away a hand holding the money bag, looked at the owner of that hand, a certain imperial earl, and said with a straight face.

"Why, what do you want to do? Let me tell you that I am the most upright person, and I will not accept bribes."

Silver Hand had already held a ruby ​​in his pocket, but after hearing what Kieran said, he reluctantly took it out again, and echoed, "That's it."

The earl was a little embarrassed, "Sir Kieran, you misunderstood, this is not a bribe, but a little souvenir from me."

"Really?" Kieran's face softened a little, he took the bag, weighed it in his hands twice, felt that the souvenirs were quite enough, and then accepted it with satisfaction.

"I heard that the cherries in Langling taste good, so I'll try it anyway."

"Ah, you can eat whatever you want. If it's not enough, I'll send someone to bring it over." The earl smiled apologetically while cursing inwardly.

"In the winter, you eat a fart of cherries, can't you be more careful when you make up lies? Do you think the big guy is a fool?"

However, he could only hold these words in his stomach and dare not say them at all, because today is different from the past, although Kieran and Silver Hand are only the lowest baron.

But he was the baron enshrined by Solomon, and he, the earl, was a vassal of the Vespasian family, and he was not very useful now.

In such a comparison, his status is not as good as the two little bards who were completely ignored by him before.

The count didn't expect that one day he would have to bow down to such a guy, and he couldn't help feeling an inexplicable sense of sadness in his heart.

But before he could continue to feel sad, Kieran hooked his fingers at him, "I know what you want to know, put your ear here, and I'll tell you."

The earl was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he couldn't care less about feeling that the world was getting worse and people's hearts were no longer old, so he immediately joined him.

Kieran leaned into his ear and quickly said a word, a look of confusion appeared on the earl's face, and he wanted to ask again, but Kieran waved to him again, "Okay, let's go, don't delay next person."

Afterwards, Kieran and Yinshou continued to collect money and give advice to the nobles.

In just a short period of time, he earned nearly a thousand gold lions. The rest of the people either thought it was too expensive, or the people who had paid and listened to it all looked dull, feeling that the information was not that valuable.

So he gave up his plan to bribe the two bards.

Holding a bunch of souvenirs, Kieran looked around and saw that no one came to give money anymore, so he distributed [-] gold coins to the team of Wing Warriors guarding the gate.

After that, he walked away with the rest of the money and the silver hand.

The nobles who came to surrender waited anxiously until the seventh day. Solomon placed the location of the tournament next to the King's Landing Tower.

Looking at the ruins of that place, the nobles of the empire were in mixed feelings, and Solomon didn't show up afterwards, instead they saw a group of Wing warriors walking over with about a dozen captives.

When the captives got closer, someone noticed that they all had red hair, but the color was dark or light.

There is no doubt that they all came from the same family and were royals of the Empire.

Also came with them was former intelligence chief Ivan.

Yiwan's face was a bit ugly. Even though he had seen too many storms and waves, his scalp still felt numb when he thought of what was going to happen next.

But thinking of Solomon's explanation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"Welcome everyone... come to watch this martial arts performance. In order to avoid waiting for everyone to be hungry, Lord Solomon specially prepared a... appetizer for everyone."

"Where are the appetizers?" A nobleman looked around, but did not see any food.

But then he saw Ivan pull out a silver knife from his waist and walk in front of a prisoner.

The prisoner should be the oldest among them, and he was over two hundred years old by visual inspection.

He saw Ivan walking towards him, but his face was content and fearless, and he opened his mouth to curse, "Traitor! You shameless traitor, you betrayed your lord, you and the family behind you will be punished by everyone Cursed by God!!!"

Ivan sighed, "Prince Solman..." The former intelligence chief seemed to want to defend himself a few more words, but he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth.

In the end, he could only put the silver knife on the old man's left arm, and with a little force, cut off a piece of bloody flesh from it.

Evan picked up the piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it, suppressing the feeling of vomiting.

Then he handed the knife to a stunned imperial noble who stood closest to him.

"Please, please eat."

"No, I don't want it anymore, I'm not hungry." The nobleman said in horror, taking two steps back.

However, Ivan did not take back the knife, and said solemnly, "This is Lord Solomon's order, if you want to serve him, you need to prove your loyalty to him.

"Eat this appetizer to prove that you really intend to stand with him."

"No, this is too cruel." A nobleman showed a look of unbearable expression on his face, "I can't do it."

After speaking, he wanted to leave, but found that the way he came had been blocked by a group of Wing tribe warriors.

And I don't know when, they were surrounded by Yi tribe warriors, surrounding them in the middle.

The nobleman stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Ivan again.

The latter had gradually regained his composure at this time, "If you don't want to die, just do as I say."

The nobles were silent when they heard the words.

Solomon recruited new allies with generous conditions, and when they came to Lionheart Castle, although Solomon did not entertain them, he also arranged accommodation and food for them.

So much so that some of them even had the illusion that Solomon needed them very much now, and they also had the capital to negotiate with Solomon.

But in fact those Wing tribesmen are the conquerors of this continent, and Solomon is not so much looking for allies as he is training hounds.

As a hound, loyalty to the owner is always the most important thing.

After a while, a nobleman stepped forward, took the silver knife from Ivan's hand, and walked towards a young man.

The boy looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was not as tough as the old man before. When he saw someone walking towards him, he was trembling, and he even peed out of fear and kept begging for mercy.

And the hand of the nobleman holding the knife was also shaking, and in the end he was cruel and cut it off. There was a scream, and everyone had goose bumps.

Then the third person, the fourth person... the nobles who came to surrender walked up one by one, and finally only six people remained where they were.

Including the nobleman who was going to leave before, he seemed to want to wait for the end of the contest to leave silently, but the next moment an arrow shot from his side, which accurately pierced his neck.

At the same time, the other five people around him were also shot by arrows, their eyes wide open, and they fell to the ground with unwilling expressions on their faces. Some of them wanted to repent, but they were shot to death before they could speak out.

The rest of the nobles were terrified as they heard the wailing of the dying members of the Vespasian family.

Every sound reminded them of their situation at this time.

After everyone had made a move, Yiwang stood up again and announced the start of the martial arts competition, but when everyone was curious about where the contestants were.

The former intelligence chief said again, "The contest has already begun, you are free to choose your opponent, whoever kills your opponent will not only serve Master Solomon, but also get the opponent's land.

"Let me remind you again, for those who deliberately do not participate in the competition, you should have seen their fate just now."
