Lord of Hyranza

The old village head Brett is very busy every day. Whether it is the construction site of the tidal drainage canal or the construction site of the reservoir, there are a lot of trivial matters waiting for him to come forward to coordinate, so he stayed with the security team for a while and then left.

Suldak walked under the shade of the tree, took out the magic note from his pocket, and asked Celia Cooper in the page: "Celia, do you know the magician Arvid Ives?"

Celia Cooper was sleeping in the magic notebook, and Suldak turned the pages of the book and woke her from sleep, much to her boss' displeasure.

She stretched herself among the pages of the book, gave Suldak a look through the railing, and said:

"He is a great magician of the space department, proficient in space magic and building magic teleportation arrays. It is said that the two-door teleportation array in Duerva province was designed by this great magician himself! But it seems that because of the research Forbidden magic from a different dimension was tracked down and wanted by the Imperial City Magic Union, and later joined the Dark Moon Gate."

"Dark Moon Gate?" Suldak repeated.

Celia Cooper nodded and said: "Well, that is a magic organization composed entirely of space magicians. Since the Grimm Empire has a complete inheritance of fire magic, more than half of the top executives of the Empire Magic Union are fire They reject magicians from other factions. Therefore, about a few decades ago, a collective defection of space magicians broke out in the Magic Union of the Green Empire. And a temporary magical organization."

"This magic organization has a number of magicians who are proficient in teleportation circles. Some noble lords plan to occupy a certain plane. If they plan to break away from the rule of the Grimm Empire, they usually go to the Dark Moon Gate and ask them to seal the teleportation. door, cut off all ties with the Grimm Empire."

"They even found me. At that time, Margaret, Cyrus Hickok, and I were preparing to copy the Devil's Gate, so we didn't accept their invitation."

Hearing Celia Cooper's explanation, Suldak realized that the Dark Moon Gate was actually an illegal organization, and it was on the opposite side of the Grimm Empire Magic Union. This group of space magicians are in trouble.

As for those rebels who betrayed the Grimm Empire, they have probably been closely watched by the Empire's intelligence agencies...

As expected.

Three days later, the security team of Paglos Mountain in Hailansa City received a message from the guard battalion. It is said that two imperial rebels fled overnight from Hailansa City. They took advantage of the night to hide in Oak Ridge, and if they If you want to leave Bena Province as soon as possible, it is very possible to go through the barren land and then go all the way north along the Pagros Mountains. Although this road is difficult, it is the most stable way to leave the country.

The main reason is that the Paglos Mountains are like a north-south beacon, lying across the territory of the Green Empire.

After receiving the news, Suldak quickly unfolded the map of the Badlands jointly surveyed by Andrew and Samira, and circled the border between Oak Ridge and the Badlands with a red line. Suldak analyzed the two The rebels are not familiar with the barren land, and their advance route will not leave the mountain road too far.

In the past few days, Andrew has been riding two horses, patrolling the Gobi desert alone in the barren land. He is wearing a full-body armor that is too heavy, so he has to change to another horse after riding for a while, so that he can Both horses maintained their strength.

Samira, the half-elf archer, doesn't need to be so troublesome, and Samira, who has elven blood, is naturally close to nature. She can communicate with her mount in a superficial way, so riding a horse can wantonly mess around in the barren land visit.

Andrew and Samira investigated the whereabouts of the two rebels and informed the [-] villages to take precautions. Since they were absconded rebels, in order to keep their whereabouts secret, they would inevitably do some killings.

Because the villages took precautions in advance, the two rebels were discovered by the villagers when they sneaked into a village to steal food, so that their whereabouts were exposed.

When Suldak received the news, Andrew and Samira were still out on patrol. The territory of the wasteland was quite large, and Andrew and Samira had to stay outside for nearly a week every time they went out to Return to Wall Village once.

He knew that this kind of thing couldn't wait, so he took the ogre Gullitum who was about to follow the four-wheeled carriage into the depths of the barren land, and chased it out in the direction given by the villager who reported the message.

The four-wheeled carriage transporting the volcanic ash has rutted a bare road on the Gobi Desert. There are basically no sharp gravels on this road.

The villager led the way on a Gubolai horse. After all, the horse was riding fast. In the afternoon, the villagers brought Suldak and the ogre Gulitum to the small mountain village called Uta by the locals. After the villager returned to the village, he inquired in detail about the escape route of the two rebels, and then walked into the Gobi Desert in the barren land again.

In the barren land in early May, the temperature difference between day and night is huge.

The temperature is extremely low at night, and during the day, with a round of scorching sun overhead, the only layer of water on the surface is evaporated.

Riding on horseback on the rolling Gobi Desert, you can see yellowish gravel everywhere. This place is located ten kilometers north of Pustout Mountain. The route chosen by the two rebels was to avoid it as much as possible. The smoky pustule mountain, as long as you bypass the pustule mountain, it will not be so desolate there, but it is deep into the depths of the mountain range where monsters are rampant.

Before Suldak left, the old village head repeatedly warned Suldak that he must not enter the depths of the Pagros Mountains.

The villager who was walking in the front stopped.

Suldak looked at him suspiciously, and he pointed to a hillside in front of the left. Suldak looked over intently, and saw two people wearing earth-colored linen cloaks on the hillside from a distance. , leading the horse on foot.

The ogre Gulitum followed Suldak all the way, but caught almost nothing except a gray rock iguana on the way.

Seeing these two travelers walking on foot with their horses, they immediately cheered up.

Suldak took the lead and chased after the two rebels, and the ogre Gullitum did not fall behind, and the two did not hide their whereabouts at all, so that the other party discovered the attempt behind them very early. After catching up to Suldak, the two rebels were very vigilant. Seeing Suldak catching up, they jumped on their horses and fled north without hesitation.

The two rebels did not ride horses along the way, just to keep the two horses full of energy when they escaped.

So at the beginning they ran very fast, and the distance between them and Suldak was getting farther and farther. However, the endurance of the two horses was average, and as the sun was about to set, their speed gradually slowed down.

The war horse that Suldak was riding was his old buddy. Since its broken leg was strengthened by Ferdinand Scholar's magic scroll, its physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary ancient Bolai horse.

The ogre Gullitum only cared about whether the rebels' two horses could be eaten, and he followed Suldak steadily all the time. No matter how fast Suldak's horse ran, the ogre could rely on two Padfoot catches up.

When the two rebels were still a hundred meters away, the ogre Gulitum bent down and picked up a stone the size of a Frisbee from the ground. He took a deep breath while running, and held The hand on the edge of the stone flake stretched back, and then he held his breath and threw the stone violently.

The stone was like a spinning saucer, attacking the rebels in front with a whistling sound.

By the time the rebels realized something was wrong, the stone was already on the right rear thigh, and the sharp stone immediately cut a long wound on the war horse.

With a neighing sound, the rebels on horseback were almost thrown off.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the two rebels immediately fled to the left and right separately. Suldak pointed at the ogre Gulitum's horse that was injured by him, and motioned him to take charge of the rebel, while He hurriedly chased another rebel.

Originally, Suldak thought that the rebels were all first-rank fighters with good strength. As soon as he came into contact with them, Suldak felt that the rebels had little fighting power, but he still tried it out very cautiously. The rebel fought hard once, and the craftsman's epee in his hand cut off the long sword of the rebel soldier. Suldak sat on the horse, and then swung the dwarf chain shield in his hand, smashing the rebel off the horse Down.

These movements were done in one go, and the rebel was subdued almost without wasting any effort. Looking back at Gulitum, the ogre had already started looking for ropes everywhere, clumsily tying the rebel tightly.

Two horses were seized this time. Although one of the horses was completely injured, with Surdak, it is believed that the horse's wounds will heal soon.

There was a severe shortage of horses in Wall Village, so Suldak refused the ogre's request for a taste of horse meat very decisively.

Afterwards, Suldak brought the two rebels back to Wall Village, and sent someone to send a letter to Karl in Hailansa City, telling him that the two fugitive rebels had been captured here.

Suldak locked the two rebels in a wooden cage next to the kobold slave shed at the entrance of the village, and asked Luke, who was in charge of the group of kobold slaves, to help guard them.

Before Suldak went home and had a good night's sleep, Luke, who was in charge of guarding the two rebels, caught up with Suldak and said, "Dak, those two people asked to talk to you. , saying that he wants to make a deal with you..."

Suldak waved his hand at Luke and said, "Ignore them for the time being, let them calm down, otherwise they don't know what conditions to offer, what qualifications do they have to negotiate with me now..."

Chapter 507

There is only a dark sunset glow among the mountains, and a few stars are lit up in the night sky.

The last chipmunk also got into the nest of the mountain cliff.

Little sparks lit up in the village of Wall hidden in the ravine.

The kobold slaves returned from the river embankment to the work shed at the entrance of the village, dragging their exhausted bodies, and silently lined up in a long line, holding a large wooden bowl in their hands to receive tonight's multigrain porridge from the cook.

This may be a rare time for them to relax during the day. After dinner, they can lie in the shed covered with reed mats and sleep until dawn.

The multigrain porridge in the big wooden barrel is very thick. The simple cook of Wall village cooks the multigrain porridge mixed with a lot of wheat bran and beans so that the kobold slaves can eat enough. This is why the old village head Brett According to the orders of the kobold slaves, the slaves of the kobolds dug the river and reclaimed the tidal flats in the river bends. As long as it was for the village of Wall, the cook in the village must do the logistics well.

Most of the overseers in the village who were in charge of guarding these kobolds would eat their meals in the slave camp before slowly returning home.

Although the food at home is better than that in the slave camp, who hasn't suffered from poverty?During the famine, sometimes everyone’s food was not as good as these dog days. Now the living conditions are a little bit better, but no one has forgotten the hard days before. The big pot of food in the slave camp is not bad. If you are full here, you will save the meal at home.

This group of kobold slaves saw that the overseers who guarded them all day were also fishing for food in the same pot with everyone. During the day on the river construction site, although these overseers were wandering around with whips, the whips really fell on their compatriots. Occasionally, when you are tired, you are allowed to rest for a while on the slope of the river embankment. When you have no strength, you will occasionally see supervisors catching up from behind, thinking that you will be whipped, but when you wait Instead, a pair of rough hands stretched out to drag the stone slabs, and walked the most difficult section of the embankment road.

A crescent moon hangs on a dead tree branch at the entrance of the village. After dinner, the kobolds are allowed to take a cold bath by the most downstream river and stream, and then lie down in the shed moaning. There is no dog head People are willing to break this easy life.

Even some kobolds lying in the shed would feel that this kind of slave life is actually not bad except for the lack of freedom!

……

The two rebels were imprisoned in a wooden cage next to the work shed. Luke was in charge of guarding the two rebels at night. When he saw dinner starting at the slave camp, he silently brought two bowls of porridge from there and put them in the cage. In a wooden cage.

Then he held a white wax spear and sat obediently three meters away from the wooden cage, staring at the two rebels with wide eyes.

The two rebels were beaten up by Suldak and Gulitum, and they all suffered injuries of varying degrees. The bruises on their faces silently showed their disgraceful achievements, lying on the horse's back like a sack On the back, the bile in the stomach almost came out all the way, and at this time there was a gurgling sound in the stomach.

Luke and Charlie are the leaders of the younger generation in the village. Compared with Charlie, Luke is not as smooth and flexible, but he has some advantages.

The skin on his body was tanned by the vicious sun, and his lips were a bit thick. At first glance, one would think that he was a poor boy from the ravine who had never seen the world. At this time, Luke was also holding half a bowl of porridge Drink, and make a baji baji sound from time to time.

Seeing the poor boy in front of him drink the porridge so deliciously, the two rebels couldn't hide the joy in their eyes when they looked at each other.

The two of them made eye contact for a moment without a sound, and then moved towards the edge of the wooden cage.

Although their hands were tied with hemp rope, it didn't affect them holding up the wooden bowl...

Maybe it was because they were hungry. The multigrain porridge cooked with wheat bran and beans made the two rebels very satisfied. Although the rough wheat bran scratched their throats, they would feel the porridge when they occasionally encountered a soft and waxy bean. An indescribable taste came.

The kobolds in the slave camp were all asleep.

The two rebels leaned on the wooden cage with their eyes closed and fell asleep. It was not until the last light in Wall Village went out that one of the rebels opened his eyes. His eyes were a little sharp, and the companion on the opposite side felt his gaze. Also waking up from the doze, the two secretly glanced at Luke from the corner of their eyes, and found that Luke was like a vigilant weasel, staring at the wooden cage with big eyes in the dark night without blinking.

'...'

In the dark night, the village guards outside the slave camp slept more soundly than the kobold slaves in the shed. This gave the two rebels a glimmer of hope that maybe the young man would sleep soon. They fell asleep, so they cast a look at each other and continued to close their eyes.

It wasn't until the third time when I opened my eyes and secretly observed Luke's rebels, and found that the young villager was sitting like a stone sculpture holding a spear three meters away from the wooden cage, that he was completely given up, so he quickly launched the second absconding plan .

A rebel pretended to be asleep, his hands were trapped, he leaned against the edge of the wooden cage and turned over in the cage with a very uncomfortable movement, a silver coin happened to fall out of his arms Li slid out, shining silvery in the night, and rolled into the gap under the wooden cage.

Such a shiny silver coin is very conspicuous at night, Luke saw it...

But let the two rebels half-close their eyes, keep their hands and feet in a posture ready to pounce at any time, lie in the wooden cage, and want to subdue Luke at once when he touches him to pick up silver coins. Only by subduing the guards in the wooden cage can they find a way to escape from here.

What they didn't expect at all was... Luke just glanced proudly at the silver coin in the gap of the wooden cage, and was unmoved at all.

So the first half of the night passed.

The two rebels began to hope that the villagers who came to take turns in the middle of the night would not ignore the silver coin in the cage like this proud villager.

Heavy footsteps sounded, the ground trembled, and then a mountain of meat stopped in front of Luke, and the ogre Gullitum squatted beside Luke, and said to Luke: "Then who... you Go to sleep, Andrew said that you have a lot of things to do tomorrow, and we will guard you in the second half of the night!"

Luke looked at the ogre showing his white teeth. Although he had been together for so many days, he still felt a little terrified every time he saw him.

Luke stood up, tapped his numb legs, and said to the ogre, "Then I'll go back, you have to take care of them, and I'll bring you wheatbread tomorrow morning..."

"Eat chicken... I want stewed chicken!"

The ogre made a demand of its own on Luke.

"Still eating? Look, you have been in our village for less than two weeks, and there are still a few chickens left in the village..." Luke complained to the ogre, and then said: "No in the morning, If there is nothing else to do tomorrow morning, follow me into Oak Ridge, almost all the pheasants have flown out, and if you are lucky, you may be able to get a few of them back!"

"Okay, so who... You are really nice!" The ogre gave a compliment in satisfaction.

Then Gulitham sat on the edge of the wooden cage with his arms folded, waiting for his bell-sized eyes to stare at the two rebels, licking his lips with his rough tongue from time to time...

The two rebels who were locked in the cage wanted to use the silver coin under the cage to turn over. Unexpectedly, when they looked at them, an ogre who couldn't help drooling came and leaned against the cage. He closed his eyes in complete despair.

……

Lifting the snow-white and slippery arm pressed against his chest, Suldak sat up from the bed, stretched his neck and glanced at Signa who was lying on the upper bed. The little girl was curled up, holding the magic notebook Sleeping soundly, Suldak gently took the magic note out of Signa's hand, placed it carefully beside her pillow, and then helped her pull the thick blanket before lying back on the bed.

Although this house was only renovated last year, its biggest shortcoming was that it was too small. There was only such a room. Although Signa was still small, Suldak felt that it was still inconvenient.

There was only a little bit of charcoal left in the fireplace diagonally opposite, and there was still unfinished white bread on the table. Although their lives changed with the help of Suldak, Selina didn't know each other every day. To eat this kind of extravagant white bread, only when Suerdak stayed here for a night, would he take out the white bread from his collection to entertain him.

Eyes as deep and blue as lake water opened, gentle eyes full of admiration, silently looking at the strong man lying quietly beside him.

The sexy and bright lips were slightly pursed, and the corners of the mouth inadvertently raised an upward arc.

Stretching out his arms to wrap the fluffy golden hair behind his head, he looked at Suldak with his blue eyes open. She curled up lazily on the bed like a Persian cat, and Suldak gently stroked Selina like a brocade. With a smooth back, she whispered to her: "Life here will gradually get better..."

"I know!" Selena responded in a low voice, with a hint of softness in her voice.

Suldak was taken aback by the firm tone, and then asked, "How about I help you build a warmer house?"

"I'll listen to you... After the construction of the reservoir in the village is over, you can build my house wherever you want." Selina looked at him with a smile.

This look made Suldak feel guilty. He still didn't have the courage to openly bring Selena and Signa in front of old Sheila. He worried that he might be kicked out of the house if he did so.

Signa on the upper bunk turned over, and there was another even breathing sound.

Selena sat up slightly, supported her body with one hand, and rested her head on Suldak's chest, as if listening to his heartbeat.

"Dark, I want to try to do one thing..."

"what's up?"

Suldak stroked her creamy face with his hands.

"I want to try to spread the teachings of the Dark Goddess to those kobold slaves. Since I am the messenger of the Dark Goddess, if I have the opportunity, I think maybe I should do something..." Selina whispered to Suldak.

"Those kobolds?" Suldak was a little speechless.

But after thinking about it, although these villagers living in the barren land are far away from Hailansa City, they are the least affected group of Statue of Liberty believers. They have never received the blessing of the goddess before. Now the priests and The goddesses are gone, so naturally it won't affect the belief of the villagers, they are used to it anyway.

"Well, I found that they can understand the Grimm Empire language, and their intelligence is not as low as imagined. I want to use the most simple teachings to make them believe in the dark goddess Shilin." Selena said seriously.

"That's good, what do you need me to do? Have you thought about how to make them accept the teachings? Or let those kobold slaves listen to you talk about the glorious history of the Dark Goddess before dinner every day?" Suldak asked very cooperatively.

"That's not necessary, as long as you agree!" Seeing that Suldak did not object, Selina smiled sweetly.

When she laughed, the stars in the night sky would look dim, and she stretched out her snow-white arms to wrap around Suldak's neck...

……

Signa stared wide-eyed, looking a little speechlessly at the magic note on the bed that turned pages automatically. The magic note stayed on the last page, and there was a dim gleam on the page.

It's so late, Suldak and Selina sleeping on the lower bunk are still very dishonest.

Celia Cooper looked at the Daughter of Darkness who was lying on the bed like a kitten in front of her. She leaned her body against the corner of the page of the magic notebook, and she sighed softly in her heart. It was blank, and Celia reached out and drew two strokes on the blank space, and a magic symbol was displayed at that position.

This magic symbol belongs to a syllable of the ancient Elvish language. Celia Cooper silently made a series of mouth shapes to Signa, as if teaching her the correct pronunciation of the ancient Elvish language, and then began to seriously Tell how this syllable is specifically applied in certain places.
