Lord of Hyranza

Children in thick winter clothes face the snowman in the yard.

The morning sun was particularly bright, and a heavy snow completely covered the earth.

A group of sparrows flew out of the bird's nest under the eaves and landed on the branches. They didn't know where to find grass seeds to eat. At this time, just clear a small open space in the yard and put grains, grains, bread crumbs, etc. Food is spilled on the ground, and these hungry birds can be easily caught by setting up pot lids, door panels, and baskets.

The florist Basil opened his eyes, the sunlight coming in from the window was a bit dazzling.

Since it is winter, there are almost no flowers to sell in the flower shop, so the flower shop has no income for a while, but some garlic seedlings are grown in the wooden troughs in the shop, which is one of the few sources of income for Basil's winter flower shop. one.

In the past two years, with the skyrocketing price of magic herbs, the prices of all plants related to magic herbs have increased several times, which has made it even more difficult for Basil's flower shop to continue. Recently, he is considering whether to sell this shop to Go out, then add some money to buy a magic caravan, drive the carriage out every day to help people, and the income is more stable than that of a flower shop.

Getting up from the bed, he covered the two wives beside him with quilts. During breakfast in winter, the fire in the fireplace had been completely extinguished. It's like this every winter, it's an old problem.

Probably hearing the sound of him clearing snow in the yard, the eldest daughter Amy also came out of the next room.

She was wearing boots and snow pants, and she looked like she was going to sweep the snow together. Basil sighed. The coming-of-age ceremony her daughter attended last year is over after the Chinese New Year. It's time to prepare a dowry for her. This It is not easy for Nianyue to marry her daughter. Apart from his appearance and character, the man's family must also have a generous dowry.

He walked out of the yard with a shovel and came to the door of his shop. He piled the thick snow on the door of the shop and the street on the low wall of street trees and shrubs, forming a high snow wall.

His family's flower shop is next to the Dandelion Hotel. The proprietress of the hotel has told him many times before that she wants to merge his flower shop and build a small building on the basis of the original building of the flower shop. The hotel needs a lot of money. There is a restaurant that can accommodate at least 50 people dining at the same time, but he has never agreed.

Opposite the flower shop is a small square. The surrounding residents like to call it "under the tree" because there is a towering fig tree in the center of the square. In summer, the old people like to enjoy the coolness under this tree. Very lively.

Basil piled the snow from the road on the low shrub walls around the square. He was lowering his head and clearing the snow on the street when he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something extra on the fig tree in the center of the square. Looking under the tree, I saw four hunters tightly bound by ropes, hanging on the towering tree like human chrysalis.

A pile of blood had condensed under one of them, and a thick layer of frost had formed on his face, it seemed that he had probably been completely cold.

He ran over quickly and saw that the other three were still breathing weakly, their eyebrows and beards were covered with frost. He planned to cut the rope with a shovel to save them, but he couldn't do it alone.

Basil hurriedly shouted towards the Dandelion Hotel.

There is always someone on the hotel side, and soon there was movement on the hotel side. The hotel manager went to Menet and ran to the square with two young men. After identifying the people hanging from the tree, and seeing that these were all guests in the hotel, his legs gave way in fright, and he fell down on the snow.

Basil hurriedly stepped forward, helped Mene up from the snow, and said to him, "Don't move anything at the scene, go and call the knights from the guard battalion over..."

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!" the hotel manager Mene shouted hoarsely.

The two young waiters hurriedly ran along the street towards the guard camp...

……

It snowed heavily all night, the streets were congested, a large number of magic caravans broke down on the side of the street, and many Gubolai horses hid in the stables to escape the cold.

The knights of the guard battalion and the swordsmen from the Newman Duke's Mansion rushed to the front of the Dandelion Hotel located in the southern block of Bena City.

The knights of the guard battalion rushed under the trees in the square, while dozens of swordsmen from the Duke of Newman's mansion surrounded the Dandelion Hotel. Some civilians who got up early and wanted to get out of the hotel all blocked back into the room. Stop in front of the hotel gate.

A female swordsman covered in silver armor jumped off the horse. Holding on to the hilt of her sword, she almost rushed into the hotel before everyone else.

The two maids with pale faces were carried off the horse by the knight, and followed the female swordsman quickly into the hotel.

At this moment, Mrs. Dorothy was sitting on the big bed in the room in the noble area of ​​the hotel with a cashmere quilt, and was talking carefully with the maid Liya.

The maid Liya looked at Mrs. Dorothy who was almost naked on the bed with a dazed expression, and answered Mrs. Dorothy's questions seriously, but she didn't know many questions at all.She didn't understand why she fell asleep last night, and when she woke up, the two guests who hired her to watch the fireplace disappeared.

Thinking of this, Liya couldn't help but glanced at the bag of acorns next to the fireplace again, feeling a little worried in her heart. If the two guests really left without paying, it would be too bad. These acorns are worth it. There was a lot of money, and she was completely flustered. She secretly touched the purse at her waist, but there was no money in it.

Liya tried hard to recall the appearance of the two guests, but her mind was blank.

It can only be said that one guest is a Constructed Knight, another female guest is very beautiful, and almost nothing is known about the rest.

There was a sound of eager footsteps in the corridor. A young female swordsman strode into the room and saw Mrs. Dorothy sitting on the bed with her arms around her. Mrs. Dorothy said: "You... really scared me to death, do you know that the guard battalion and the guards of the Duke's mansion have been looking for you for a whole night in the city of Bena, and all the gates in the city are still closed. on."

Madam Dorothy looked up at the female swordsman, with a faint smile on her face, and said to the female swordsman from the white lotus-like arms deep in the quilt: "I know you will come to rescue me as soon as possible." , Talis, my sister!"

Talis forced a smile to Mrs. Dorothy, and they hugged each other tightly, and whispered into her ear, "Algernon is dead!"

Mrs. Dorothy nodded slightly, with a bitter smile on her face, and said in a low voice: "He had a chance to escape."

Talis, the female swordsman, heard Mrs. Dorothy say this, her eyes froze slightly. She didn't have any good impression of the young swordsman with greasy hair and pink noodles. She didn't expect him to be so spineless in a critical moment. She patted Mrs. Dorothy's bare back, said: "That's fine, otherwise, when Edwin comes back from the battlefield, I really don't know how to explain to him, you may not know, how many times I want to take advantage of you Don't rush to his place and kill him!"

"He is a qualified swordsman and still has a great youth. He shouldn't die here." Mrs. Dorothy finally couldn't hold back anymore and shed a few tears.

The female swordsman Talis comforted Mrs. Dorothy again, and said, "Understood, I will investigate this matter. They want to find you, probably because they have taken a fancy to the golden key in your hand."

"Let's go back and talk about it, this time we're going to show them some color."

With that, Mrs. Dorothy got out of bed.

Two maids came up, took out Mrs. Dorothy's clothes, and quickly put them on.

They were also Mrs. Dorothy's personal maids. They stayed in the Newman Duke's mansion last night and did not follow Mrs. Dorothy to the lover's apartment on North Street. Her other two personal maids and six guards all died on North Street. In his apartment, the two maids were lucky enough to escape unharmed.

Mrs. Dorothy put on a long dress, one of the two maids made a headdress for her, and the other tied her waist. She stood gracefully in front of the window of the room, looked outside, and just saw a large group of people standing in the small square outside the window. Guard battalion knight.

At this time, the hunters hanging from the tree had been released.

……

Viscount Kincaid stayed up all night.

When he received the news, he rushed to the giant tree square. Three hunters who were almost frozen to death were lying flat on the snow, and two guard battalion knights were checking their physical conditions.

Viscount Kincaid looked back at the hotel behind him, and heard that the Newman family's personal guard swordsmen found the kidnapped Mrs. Dorothy in this hotel.

He knew that someone was helping secretly this time, otherwise, with the help of the Knights of the Guard Battalion and the Duke of Newman's Mansion, it would not be an easy task to find Mrs. Dorothy in the city of Bena with a population of millions.

He felt that he must have overlooked something, calmed down and thought about it again, but his mind was still clueless.

At this time, the knights who were inspecting the three robbers all stood up. Several knights were wrapping the three hunters in military blankets, and another corpse frozen into an ice sculpture had already been wrapped in a body bag.

"How's the situation?" Viscount Kincaid asked.

The knight inspecting the injury nodded to him, and said, "Master Viscount, they are still alive, but their bodies are frozen stiff, and their limbs may suffer severe frostbite!"

Viscount Kincaid nodded and said, "Help them get rid of the cold, and then bring them back to the guard camp. Don't let them die. They are important criminals. Also, you go and tell Grand Knight Glenn... Forget it, I will personally Report this to Grand Knight Glenn, and you must not let these three criminals escape."

"Don't worry, Viscount Kincaid." The knight captains of the guard battalion stood up straight and promised.

Chapter 615 Luthor Family Chariot

In the morning of Bena City, the air is fresh, and the streets are full of residents sweeping snow.

Two streets away from the Giant Tree Square, he saw a group of guard battalion knights galloping across the street, just in the direction of the Giant Tree Square, and Suldak knew that Mrs. Dorothy and those few had probably been found there. a hunter.

Suldak didn't wear the magic pattern structure, he was wearing the standard armor of the knights of the Hailansa Guard Battalion.

Except for some unique marks on the collar and cuffs, the overall armor is similar to the standard armor, and Suldak also wears a noble badge and a guard battalion knight badge on his chest, and Aphrodite is also wearing a guard battalion knight. A, transformed into a young guard battalion knight, wearing a thick guard battalion cloak, the two walked on the long street, the guard battalion knights on the street just took a look at them, and regarded the two of them as someone they didn't know colleagues.

Some guard battalion knights even greeted Suldak when they passed by them.

"You really don't intend to make Mrs. Dorothy owe you a favor." Aphrodite asked after Suldak caught up with him.

Suldak walked forward without looking back. This is a civilian area in the south of the city, and there is still a distance from the residence of Marquis Luther. This kind of road condition cannot be called a magic caravan. Whether the two have horses, they can only walk along the street. Walk along the cleared trails.

He unbuttoned the cuffs, lifted the shirt inside and took a look. There was another scale on his arm, which was connected into one piece on his arm. It looked like a piece of snake skin. He frowned, Said: "Forget it, I still have to go to Luther Marquis's mansion in the morning."

He pointed to his arm towards Aphrodite, and said, "Grow another scale, and if I don't learn the dragon language, maybe I will degenerate into a dragon man."

A smile appeared on Aphrodite's face, and he said to him: "Actually, dragon people are also very good, because they contain a little dragon blood, and the body will become very strong, and you will gradually discover the benefits of dragon blood."

Suldak stopped in his tracks and asked the succubus worriedly: "Do you think I will be stupid if I can't lift the Dragon Blood Curse in the end?"

The succubus replied without hesitation: "Of course, if you can't undo the dragon's blood curse in the end, you will lose your mind and become a strong four-legged dragon."

"..."

At this moment, Suldak didn't want to speak at all.

He has been a little annoyed recently. Nine scales grew on his arm, and some negative emotions were derived from it, or something hidden in his blood was stimulated, so he recently became a little inexplicable and wanted to eat some fresh food. , especially some fish.

He didn't know that dragons, like elves, like to eat fish very much.

But he also secretly rejoiced that luckily he didn't want to eat red crystals, otherwise his teeth might get blood all over his mouth if he ate red crystals.

This is probably some of the current distress of a dragon who has not lost his mind.

It seems that the speed of learning dragon language is bound to be accelerated, and the relationship with Yiser must be consolidated. Although he is already very familiar with it, the two still cannot interact closely. Dragon some red crystals, making himself like a breeder.

It shouldn't be like this, he had to communicate with Iser, and only by walking into its life could he truly understand it and figure out how to break the Dragon Blood Curse.

Looking at it now, if the two sides can achieve normal communication, Suldak must first learn the dragon language, and then the red dragon Iser must also learn the dragon language, so that the two sides can communicate effectively.

……

Aphrodite was not brave enough to go to Duke Luther's mansion. After the heavy snowfall, it is estimated that she would not be able to return to Hailansa City in a short time.

Suldak rented two rooms in a hotel just two streets away from the Marquis Luther's Mansion, and Aphrodite obediently stayed in this hotel, which is not too far from the Magic Union. Walking a few streets, you can clearly see the magic tower standing tall in the building complex.

Be careful of those magicians here. Many magicians with strong magic perception can feel the faint magic energy of the succubus.

Suldak was actually not optimistic about this hotel that only accommodated nobles, but Aphrodite thought it was not bad.

After walking out of the hotel, he walked across two streets before coming to the mansion of Marquis Luther. Suldak stood at the gate and tidied his clothes a little before walking towards the concierge.

Unexpectedly, when the guard at the gate saw Suldak coming, he quickly pushed open the large hollow iron door, and respectfully invited Suldak to go in.

A middle-aged butler was wearing a formal dress and led two teams of servants to greet Suldak on the steps in the courtyard. Seeing Suldak walk up the steps around the flower pond in the vestibule, a group of servants hurriedly saluted Suldak , and then the butler bent down and led Suldak into the dining room on the second floor of the castle. In a richly decorated second-floor dining room, the Marquis Luther and two gorgeous ladies were sitting at the table, chatting While enjoying the food.

Seeing Suldak walk in, Marquis Luther also said to Suldak very happily: "Dak, come and sit next to me, I hope you haven't had breakfast yet, so you can have some with me!"

The middle-aged butler opened a chair in front of the dining table for Surdakra.

Suldak sat obediently on the left side of Marquis Luther. The butler personally visited the plate, knife and fork for Suldak, and another maid tied a napkin around Suldak's neck. The side said softly: "Breakfast is grouse and pie, and cream of mushroom soup. I will serve you a little. If any one does not meet your taste, please remind me in advance."

Two beautiful ladies looked at Suldak. One of the ladies was Mrs. Marianne. Her eyes were almost carved out of the same mold as Hathaway's eyes. She looked at him gently. Suldak smiled, and Suldak nodded quickly.

At this time, the butler had already brought up the dishes and distributed them to Suldak's dinner plates.

"I heard that you had a fierce fight with the magicians of the Dark Moon Gate, the Black Magic Priory, and the Pompeii Sea Race at Mount Pagros?" Marquis Luther put down the knife in his hand and picked it up. Taking a sip of the sweet wine at the table, he asked Suldak.

"Yes, Lord Marquis. It was the militiamen in our barren land militia battalion who discovered the whereabouts of the magician of the Dark Moon Gate, and then Grand Knight Glenn led the guard battalion coalition forces, and the magicians of the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team to wipe out That group of mages and aliens." Suldak put down the knife in his hand, raised his head and replied.

Marquis Luther nodded, he just asked casually without asking for details.

Then he said: "The barren land of Hailansa City is really a barren land. Even if you own a sulfur mine, the benefits you can bring to you are still too simple."

He said to Suldak with a serious face: "If you like to run a mine, you can go to open up a new plane with me. My construction swordsman group is currently opening up a new territory in the Maca plane, and currently occupies In the fertile basin between a river and two mountain ranges, not only the land is fertile, but there are also more than a dozen completely undeveloped mines, you can just pick a few and try to operate them.”

The lady next to Mrs. Marian looked at Suldak enviously.

Suldak didn't expect that Marquis Luther would give him a few mines as soon as he met him. He didn't rush to agree, but sat up straight, facing Marquis Luther and said solemnly: "Marquis Luther My lord, I am here this time... to ask for your permission to propose to Miss Hathaway Luthor."

In the Green Empire, if you want to propose to your favorite lover, the first step is to obtain the consent of the woman's father before you can prepare for the proposal ceremony.

Marquis Luther thought that he would promise a generous dowry to Suldak, and then let the two meet, at least a few times, before Suldak would take further action. Unexpectedly, Suldak would Come, actually directly begged himself to agree to his proposal to Hathaway.

But when I thought about how outstanding my daughter was, I immediately felt relieved, proud, gratified, and a little sad. In short, Marquis Luther felt mixed feelings for a while, but Suldak was in his heart. It is a rare and outstanding young man in his eyes, otherwise he would not have exchanged so many resources, and jointly recommended to His Majesty Charles to make Suldak a nobleman.

Marquis Luther and Mrs. Marianne looked at each other, and Mrs. Marianne also agreed with this matter, and nodded calmly.

In fact, Mrs. Marian recently conducted a detailed investigation of Suldak, and then she found that Suldak has almost no shortcomings except for his poor family. A warrior, he was promoted step by step to become an official canonized knight. After retiring, he joined the Hailansa Guard Battalion, and performed meritorious deeds during this period.

Not only does he not have any bad habits, but he also has a good reputation locally.

A more cordial smile appeared on Marquis Luther's face, he leaned over and patted Suldak's shoulder, and said happily: "Of course I have no objections at all, and of course you need Hathaway's consent for this matter, no matter what No matter what, nothing can affect my recognition of you."

Then he paused, and asked solemnly: "Baron Suldak, are you willing to join my Constructed Swordsmen?"

When he asked this question, he directly let Suldak enter the direct army of Marquis Luther. Suldak immediately stood up and said, "I am willing to serve you! My lord."

Marquis Luther nodded, and said, "I will give you a new army formation, a 500-man cavalry regiment. Of course, if you have any difficulties in the early stage, you can ask me."

"If there is, I will definitely seek your help." Suldak said humbly.

……

Chapter 616 meet again

In the Green Empire, nobles are allowed to have private arms.

But not all private armed forces have the establishment of the imperial army.

To be precise, the military establishment is the license of the lord's private armed forces. For example, some unstable factors in a certain area require the military to take over, riots and plane wars in certain planes, garrison rotation between planes, and so on.Under these circumstances, the armed forces with the imperial army will be assembled first, accept the deployment of the chief executive of the region, and lead the army to maintain regional law and order.

Although the frequent outbreak of plane wars in the Grimm Empire caused the private armed forces to become sluggish.

Even so, there are still many nobles who want to have the establishment of the imperial army. The army formation that Marquis Luther gave to Suldak is the dream of many lords.

Since the private army of noble lords needs the lords to pay expensive military expenses out of their own pockets, why do so many nobles want to form private armed forces to become lords?

The reason is simple, there is a greater interest in it.

This is mainly because the lords will have the priority to acquire the resources of the plane while the plane is stationed. If the lords are willing to lead their private troops to participate in the plane war, they will get the legal right to open up the new plane instead of the empire's territory. The "Four Three Three Land Distribution Law" in the code, forming a private army is still a common means of tax avoidance, and so on.
