Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

Compared with other gathering places, Maishi Village is more peaceful and cleaner than towns, but not much better.

Following the village chief, they came to the cleanest house in the village, which had several houses built of wood and a stable attached.

Before the two of them settled down, the house was full of children and adults, most of whom looked at the majestic red phosphorus horse and blue-purple horse curiously and talked in a low voice.

"My lord, since entering the territory of the Delesier family, it has been a dilapidated scene. It seems that information is not easy to collect."

In the wooden house, Kyle was making tea with black tea leaves while telling the story.

"It is indeed difficult to collect information. I even doubt whether the people of the Delesier family still remember the name Devonshire."

Wei Lin frowned, and no longer had much hope of finding out Devonshire's life experience.

"My lord, how about I call the village chief over and knock on the side. Seeing that he has lived for so long, he should know some clues." Kyle thought for a while and said to Wei Lin.

"Yes, if we can get some useful information, it would be the best. If not, we can only..."

At this point, Weilin's eyes became sharp. If not, he didn't mind the means of kidnapping. As long as it was done secretly, no one would know.

Not long after, Kyle invited the village chief of Maishi Village to the wooden house.

The old village chief glanced at the exquisite knight's sword placed on the wooden table, quickly lowered his head, and dared not look at it any more.

"Old village chief, do you have a name?"

Hearing the gentle voice, the old village chief calmed down and replied respectfully: "My name is Tom, you can just call me Old Tom."

"Old Tom, my followers and I are traveling and accidentally arrived here. Do you know what strange events or secret stories are here?" Weilin took out a gold coin and rotated it on his fingertips, his eyes always fixed on the old village.

"My old eyes are blurry and my memory is not good. I can't remember these clearly." Old Tom kept his head down and replied respectfully.

"Click"

The crisp and sharp sound made Old Tom's spirit tense instantly.

"Very alert."

"You are joking, my Lord. I served in the Lord's army for twenty years. This is just muscle memory." Old Tom grinned, his yellow teeth exuding an unpleasant smell.

Weilin asked calmly: "Looking at your age, you are at least seventy years old. You served at the age of twenty and retired at the age of forty. Thirty years have passed in between. You are still so alert. I am surprised."

The next moment, a pressure pressed Old Tom to the ground.

Originally, he didn't want to use such means, but this old man didn't tell the truth.

"Tell me, I am very interested in your story."

The next moment, Old Tom felt that the heavy pressure was relieved a lot, and he barely supported his body with his limbs and knelt on the ground.

"My Lord, I am humble and shallow, and I can't answer your questions at all." Old Tom answered with a very humble tone and lowered his head.

With his many years of military experience, it would not be difficult for these two people to raze Maishi Village to the ground. He could only beg the other party to let him go without interest.

"I am very curious about what happened thirty years ago." Weilin stared at Old Tom and said word by word.

Unfortunately, he did not see any extra expression on his face. He did not know whether he was really unclear or pretending.

"I don't know what you said, please forgive me."

The cabin was quiet in an instant. After a while, Weilin said impatiently: "Forget it, you go out."

"Yes, sir."

Old Tom dragged his dying body out of the cabin and limped out of the house.

"Did you see anything?" Weilin looked at Kyle and asked.

"A bit like a dead soldier."

"No, he is a dead soldier, guarding a secret." Weilin came to the wooden door, looked at the old Tom who left, and said in a deep voice, "I just wanted to find out the news, but I didn't expect to accidentally break into an incident."

"My Lord, what should we do next?" Kyle stepped forward and asked in a low voice, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Go to the village to find out if this old Tom has any descendants." Weilin turned his head and whispered in Kyle's ear, "Remember, whether there is a blood relationship."

"I understand."

Kyle took the knight's sword and a purse, swaggered out of the wooden house and headed for the village.

"I'm curious, what is the secret that this dead soldier has been guarding for thirty years?"

Weilin was just curious about the secret that old Tom was guarding. He had a hunch that it was definitely related to Devonshire.

After all, whether there is a connection between old Tom who left the barracks thirty years ago and Devonshire who gave up his family name in the same period of time thirty years ago, it still needs to be explored.

In the evening, Kyle returned to the wooden house from Maishi Village and reported to Weilin.

"My Lord, Tom, the elder of Maishi Village, has three sons and two daughters. One son and one daughter died young. Now there are two sons and one daughter alive, and they are all young."

"The oldest is only 28 years old and was sent to the army."

"The youngest son is the captain of the village guard, commanding the men in Maishi Village."

"The only daughter is 20 years old, but she has not married yet, which is a bit abnormal."

"When did the two children who died young die? If they are alive, how old are they now?" Weilin asked.

Kyle thought about it and answered: "The ones who died were the second son and the eldest daughter. I heard that they fell into the river and disappeared when they were six years old. Their bodies were not found."

"If still alive, the eldest daughter should be thirty years old and the second son should be twenty-five years old."

"No body?" Verin said, staring at Kyle.

"Yes." Kyle nodded and said, "There is another piece of news that I don't know whether it is true or not. I heard that thirty years ago, after the midwife in Maishi Village delivered Old Tom's eldest daughter, she left Maishi Village with her whole family the next day. ”

"It seems that the key is the eldest daughter without a body."

For a moment, Weilin had a bold guess in his mind, that it was civil strife.

However, it is too early to make any judgment now.

"Tomorrow morning, we will leave here and rush to Candela, the central city of the Dresir family. Things are getting more and more interesting."

"yes."

…

Late at night, a red-headed crow flew out from the edge of Maishi Village and headed towards the mountains to the north.

Old Tom glanced at the night sky with nostalgia, then returned home with his hunched body.

Early the next morning, when Weilin and his two men were leaving, they suddenly heard that Old Tom had passed away last night. A group of villagers rushed to the village chief's house to prepare to bid farewell to the old village chief.

Regarding Old Tom's death, Verin had no unnecessary emotions and took Kyle towards Candela.
