lord and his dragon

Ross grinned two thick and ugly lips, exposing his yellow teeth, and chuckled. He said to Negrim, "Didn't you think so? Your lord."

Negrim looked at him expressionlessly, but did not speak.

"Do you know what is the most interesting thing? In fact, many people have already known about it, your steward, your servant, your bodyguard... But no one is willing to tell you about it, everyone is looking forward to it You disappeared, you are such an annoying guy." Ross said maliciously.

He has served as the mayor of Harlan Town for so many years, no one dares to show him face, only Negrim!Since the appearance of Negrim, Ross has never had a peaceful day. In his eyes, the lord who has been in office for four months is like the most annoying mosquito in the world. Not only is he noisy, but he also tries to suck his blood and sweat all the time. , Ross was overwhelmed, but he didn't really find a chance to solve this trouble in one fell swoop until today.

Ross stared at Negrim's face, and said, "Look at the enthusiastic friends around me, are you scared, Lord Lord?"

Ross looked around, trying to find traces of remorse and fear on Negrim's face, but he was disappointed. There was no emotion on Nigrim's face, and he just looked at him expressionlessly, It's like watching a poor clown perform.

His eyes were too calm, and the sarcasm contained in them angered Ross almost instantly. Just when Ross sneered and gave the order to kill him, Negrim spoke calmly. .

"When did you really decide to kill me?"

Ross was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to ask such a boring question suddenly, he sneered, and was about to count out the obtrusive places of this brat, but found that the other party didn't really intend to listen to his answer at all, but Shi continued on his own: "Did you realize that I was a marginal figure in Wangdu? Was it when you found out that I was the only one in the Xiu Nuoding family?"

"I don't think so," Negrim said firmly, "You really made up your mind to kill me when you learned that I possessed a power ring, right?"

That's true, but the idea in the center of being guessed is always not so pleasant. Ross's face darkened, he pulled the corner of his mouth, and said: "It seems that I underestimated the lord, although it is a bit late, but You can be regarded as a smart person if you can think about the cause of your own death before you die."

This is the meaning of acknowledgment. Negrim showed a clear expression, nodded, and continued: "It seems that it is indeed the case. Although I am in your eyes, I am a nobleman from the capital after all. Even if you have no power, killing me would be risky. In comparison, I seldom leave the castle, and I never tell you what to do. Although I am uncomfortable, it is not completely intolerable."

"It was a better choice to let me live, but after learning of the existence of this ring, the situation has become different." Negrim lowered his eyes and gently stroked the green ring on his left thumb. gemstone ring.

If a power ring can ignore the existence of the head of the family and order the guards directly under the family, then it must also represent the entire family on certain occasions. With such a right to prove, who is wearing it in the hand does not matter. It doesn't matter.

In other words, if the person wearing that emerald ring is not Negrim but Ross, then Ross will get everything that Negrim has now, whether it is status or rights, he will replace Negrim became the earl of the Hugh Nordin family, and of course he would also receive the title of lord.

However, this is only the most superficial thing. The benefits that a noble status can bring are not only the title of earl and the title of lord. As long as he has enough wealth, Ross can directly replace Negrim's identity. In the capital, to enter the high society that only nobles are eligible to join, as long as he has the title of nobility as a stepping stone, he can use his own wrist to grab more women, fame, power, and more wealth in the capital.

"Although this ring can bring many benefits, it is not without cost. This is something that has always troubled me." Negrim raised his head, looked at Ross without blinking, and asked, "You How much money do you have?"

Ross' face suddenly changed.

Negrim didn't seem to notice the change in his expression, and continued: "It takes a lot of money to get through the relationship with the capital. Since you have decided to take this ring, you must have thought about how to use it. That being the case, you must have enough funds to carry out all this, you have enough money, but where does your money come from? Mayor Rhodes?"

Ross' heart skipped a beat. He looked at Negrim in shock and anger. He never thought that the other party would be able to guess this. But soon, he calmed down again, and he couldn't help feeling grateful. Fortunately, the lord who surprised him was about to die here.

Ross relaxed, with a ferocious smile on his face, and said, "The lord knows a lot."

"Being the mayor of a poor place like Harlan Town, I should have been a poor man. Even if I got the ring from the Hugh Nuoding family, I couldn't do anything, but, you see these friends around me ?"

Negrim looked at him coldly and said, "They are not only your mercenaries, but also people who came from the land of no man to help you."

Ross clapped his hands with a smile, and said, "That's right, my lord!"

"It's not easy to be the mayor of Harlan Town safely. Of course, I still need the support of the adults in Borderlands. They guarantee my status and give me money. It is necessary to cover their eyes and ears and help them smuggle goods from the Marginal Forest and the Land of No Man, what a bargain is this?"

"Is it worthwhile?" Negrim laughed sarcastically, and said, "I don't think it's worthwhile to be someone else's pawn."

Ross sneered, and said: "You can only play tricks now, why do you think I told you all these things? Sir, you are going to heaven soon... Oh, no, people like you are probably Go to hell."

Negrim said expressionlessly: "I am indeed ready to go to hell a long time ago, but definitely not today."

"It's definitely not today?" Ross seemed to have heard some funny joke, and the group of mercenaries beside him also burst into laughter under his leadership: "Master, you may not only have bad legs and feet, but you may also have problems with your eyes. Haven't you seen what's going on right now?"

Negrim ignored him, but slowly rubbed his frozen hands, and started another topic confusingly, he said slowly: "I hate winter, the cold makes me All the illnesses on your body erupted like an avalanche, but there is no way, you are too timid, I can only wait until winter to completely solve this matter."

Negrim looked up at Ross, who heard something, and the smile on his face gradually became stiff: "I have to wait until winter, until my birthday, and wait until the envoy from the king's capital comes to confirm that I am living well enough." Unfortunately, wait until he clearly tells you that even if I disappear, no one from the capital will come to investigate my situation... because only in this way can the mayor of Ross make up his mind and really attack me."

Ross froze for a moment, and finally heard something wrong in Negrim's words. He suddenly understood something, his eyes widened, and he looked at Negrim in shock, unable to speak for a while.

"That's right, you really underestimated me," Negrim said blankly, "This is not just a flash of light before I die, Mayor Ross, it took me a lot of money to get you to confide all this." Too much effort, but my chief guard is very impatient to cooperate with me in this play."

Of course, it doesn't matter if Allen is impatient. The most important thing is that Negrim himself has suffered so much and was forced to be a slave for three days. It is really annoying. Ross must pay for these things cost!

As soon as Negrim finished speaking, Ross immediately realized something, and looked around suddenly, but soon, the man beside him grabbed his shoulder and brought him back to his senses.

"Haha, mayor, what are you afraid of?" The man laughed loudly: "The chief guard of the little beauty lord is a swordsman, am I not?"

Ross immediately calmed down when he heard the words, he took a few breaths, and said eagerly as if grabbing some life-saving straw: "Yes, yes! You are right, you are also a swordsman, and you are so strong , even if his chief guard comes, he is definitely not your opponent!"

Hearing this, the man laughed loudly, not talking nonsense, just waved his hand, and three stout men rushed towards Negrim. They were huge in size, but their movements were as vigorous as deer. He could break Negrim's neck with his bare hands, but the latter stood still, looking at them expressionlessly.

Their speed was very fast, and the person in the front was getting closer and closer to Negrim. Between lightning and flint, a figure so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye shot out from behind Negrim, and threw the The man fell to the ground, and at the same time, the other two were also thrown away by the impact of his speed!

This should have been expected by Negrim, but after seeing the true identity of that figure, the indifference on his face disappeared instantly.

Surprised and terrified, Negrim shouted in disbelief: "Abel?!"

How could it be Abel? !
