lord and his dragon

Except for Anna's wonderful cooperation, everything was within Negrim's expectation.

When little Milwes learned that Pavoni had dared to contact the rebels behind his back, he was going crazy. It was the first time he had given his trust to his courtiers, and what he got in exchange was this result !

yes!Even if he had the idea of ​​exploiting Pavoni, he still saved the two of them, and he would return some of their assets, wouldn't he?He didn't even intend to take back his title!How could Pavoni treat him like this?

Little Milwes didn't want to protect anyone anymore. Since Pavoni dared to betray him, he naturally had to make the safest choice for his own life. Everyone in Pavoni's family was arrested. The angry king issued several orders, depriving the Pavoni family of their titles, property, and of course their lives within a few hours.

The king could not even wait for the dawn of the next day. That night, the former Duke of Pavoni and his family had just stayed in prison for a short time before they were dragged to the execution ground like animals and hanged one by one.

Citizens with or without enmity with the Pavoni family, and even citizens who were just watching the excitement crowded in front of the execution ground. They were noisy, as if they were watching an amusing circus. The night of the capital completely broke the silence for the first time. It's lively again, but I'm afraid no one thought that this scene would be caused by the fall of a great noble who once dominated the entire royal capital.

Ten years later, the king once again showed his iron-blooded wrist, but everyone could see that little Milwes was no longer as alert and vigorous as before. This time his movements were so hasty, it was only because of his Fear and anger born of fear.

Little Milwes was half lying on the bed, his eye sockets were sunken, his lips were dry, he hadn't had a drop of water in two days and his mood fluctuated so much that he looked like a dying man, none of the palace servants dared to speak out. Sounds, they pretended to be just a vase or a mural, standing there motionless, the entire bedroom was dead silent.

Soon, the silence was broken, and a captain of the guard walked in under the leadership of the palace guards. He had a panicked expression on his face, as if he was afraid of irritating His Majesty the King. He lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty , Pavoni's family lost one person during the execution."

Little Milwes suddenly widened his eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice as if he had been honed with sandpaper, "Who?"

The captain of the guard lowered his head: "Pavoni's eldest son, Marus Pavoni... Because according to the records, Marus Pavoni should have been arrested last night, so he didn't make a special effort when arresting him. Searched for this person, and found out that the number was wrong until the execution..."

Little Milwes's face turned blue and purple, and he couldn't even call the captain a trash, because he had released Marus Pavoni himself, and he had personally told everyone in the prison to keep his mouth shut. It was another stupid mistake he'd made, and now it was second only to trusting old Pavoni.

Little Milwes trembled for a long time as if he had suffered a stroke, and said, "It's running out of time..."

Little Pavoni's escape is certainly a concern of his, but now it is absolutely impossible to send people to arrest him with great fanfare, or even issue a wanted warrant, because he is running out of time, and he once promised to kill Pavoni and his son , but when will little Pavoni be found?Probably before that he would have died from dehydration symptoms.

Little Milwes stared at the captain of the guard, and said: "Secretly send someone to search for little Pavoni's traces, and if found, they will be killed on the spot. Immediately announce to everyone that Pavoni's family has all been punished." In addition, go to Hugh Nuoding's residence to contact Ma, go to the residence of the great magician to summon the great magician, and tell them that the promise I made has been fulfilled, and it is time for them to fulfill their promise. "

The captain of the guard nodded yes, and left in a hurry. Little Melwes was finally relieved, he let out a long breath, and collapsed on the bed.

When the guards came to the door, Negrim was dealing with Sapiantia's pestering.

It wasn't a small magic that saved him. In fact, Sapiantia didn't find a way to break the death curse. Forced to do so, he and his colleagues worked out a reversal magic circle. Can turn back time on an object.

When it comes to time, this magic can already be called a forbidden curse, but the restrictions are also very large. First, the size of the object must be small enough, and second, the magic power consumed is very large. In the world today, except for Sapiantia, anyone who can There are no more than three people who complete this magic circle.

Thanks to the fact that Malus used a curse stone to curse Negrim, which almost met the requirements of this magic, otherwise Sapiantia would have no other choice.

The poor old man was almost exhausted by this magic, and after waking up, he clamored to ask Negrim to pay for his life-saving. Negrim didn't mention that his former apprentice was the cause of the disaster, and agreed without hesitation.

Negrim originally thought that Gaiden was so rich that he could get Sapiantia whatever he wanted, but he never expected that the old man would open his mouth to ask for the black dragon's saliva, and Abel was extremely unwilling to cooperate, so He could only offer the water of life in exchange.

How could Sapiantia be willing!No matter how precious the water of life is, it is something that is available now. Maybe one day Negrim will be able to get it easily if he owes him another favor, but the black dragon's saliva is almost becoming a legend. If it is not available now, there will be more in the future. When can I get there?

So he immediately put aside the aloof image he had when they met for the first time, and rolled around, sitting on the floor, without the slightest burden that a great magician should have, and the dwarves were amazed.

Negrim was in trouble, and was thinking whether to wrong Abel, when the guards came to report that the king's men had arrived.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Sapiantia stopped making trouble. He looked at Negrim and said, "He must have cleaned up Pavoni and came to us to break the curse. Do you want to hide?"

Negrim raised his eyebrows and said, "Hide? Why should I hide?"

Then he rushed to the guard and said, "Let people in."

Seeing that the guards were leading the order, Negrim said to the hesitant Sapiantia, "I know what you are worried about, but the Pavoni family was not hanged for murdering me. In fact, not many people know about this crime at all, not to mention that you only said that I was under the death curse, and you didn't say that I was dead. Difficulty."

Sure enough, when the king's people came in and saw Negrim sitting in the hall, he didn't react at all. He didn't know that Negrim had been cursed once, but conveyed the king's order strictly. Invite Sagittarius and his companions to enter the palace.

Instead, he noticed that Sapiantia sitting on the floor startled him, and had no choice but to respectfully repeat what he had said just now to the great magician, asking him to go to the palace as well.

Negrim smiled and watched the man leave after bowing to him, and said to the other three, "I'm going with you this time."

Sagittarius smiled and said, "That would be the best."

But Abel thought of something and couldn't help frowning.

It was the blue dragon that cursed little Milwes. Would his master realize that this curse was related to the curse that appeared in the marginal forest back then?

Abel still had the idea of ​​inviting Negrim to go to Dragon Island with him, so he didn't dare to ask this question lightly. In his opinion, no matter what the Dragon Clan would do, it would definitely be beneficial to Dragon Island Yes, Abel didn't know which side he should be on, and whether he should stop the blue dragon's actions.

He glanced at his master with some worry, and Nigrim reached out and squeezed his wrist if he felt it.

Abel was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his heart softened like a pool of spring water, and he couldn't think about anything.

Now that little Milwes couldn't bear to send someone to urge them, they didn't procrastinate, but Negrim was still weak because he just woke up all day, so Abel could only carry him into the carriage and galloped all the way. They entered the palace while it was still dark.

During the two days of racing against the god of death, little Milwes had never felt that the time passed so slowly. He was tormenting on the bed, thinking why the centaur and Sapiantia hadn't come yet?Could it be that they want to consume him until he dies?After all, Xiu Nuo Ding also regarded him as an enemy, maybe his two subordinates also planned to kill him to avenge Xiu Nuo Ding?

Little Melwes was lying on the bed, thinking wildly, and before he couldn't help but collapse, the palace servants came in to announce: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Great Magician, Earl Hugh Nordin, and his men and servants are here."

Little Milwes was pleasantly surprised at first, and then said in a trance: "Did I hear wrong, who are you talking about? Earl Hugh Nuoding? Who else Hugh Nuoding?"

Sweat dripped from the palace man's face, and he was also there when Centaur and his companions accused Pavone Jr. of murdering Earl Hugh Nordin, so when he saw Hugh Nordin appearing in the palace, he almost fainted from fright. It was easy to realize that the other party was not dead and not a ghost, but it seemed that His Majesty the King was not as easy to accept the news as he was.

He swallowed, and said, "It's...that Hugh Nordin! He was not cursed to death by little Pavoni, but was rescued."

Little Milwes' eyes were staring, and he could hardly believe his ears, Hugh Nordin is not dead?How can this be!How could someone in the world be rescued after falling under the death curse? !

Little Milwes almost couldn't bear it anymore and fainted on the spot. The reason why he agreed to the request of the troops so simply and killed the whole family of Pavoni so simply was because he thought Hugh Nordin was dead!Xiaoxiu Nuoding didn't die, but instead lost a member of his important ministers. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a conspiracy!

Little Milwes was dripping with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to think carefully about the points he had neglected. Up to now, keeping his own life was the most important thing. He said tremblingly, "Call, let them come in."

The reaction of little Milwes really made the palace guards fear that the king would die on this bed immediately. Seeing that he was still able to give orders, they hurriedly took orders. Not long after, Negrim led three other people into the palace. into the king's chambers.

Negrim was the first to walk in, and little Milwes stared at him without blinking, until he realized that Negrim's face was not good-looking, and his hands and feet seemed to be weakening, so little Melwes He let out a long sigh of relief as if he had received some kind of redemption.

That's great, it seems that he wasn't played by the other party in the applause, Xiaoxiu Nuoding was indeed hit by a death curse, and was rescued again, he didn't kill the Pavoni family unjustly.

But even if Hugh Nuoding lied to him, Pavoni would not have died unjustly. Little Milwes comforted himself like this, and sooner or later he would betray his courtiers because of fame and fortune, so he didn't care.

However, the current situation was indeed extremely bad for him. If Hugh Nuoding didn't die, his life was in the hands of the other party. This person was not as easy to fool as the other three.

Little Milwes barely sat up with the help of the maid, so as not to look so weak, but in fact, everyone knew that he didn't have any bargaining chips to negotiate terms with Negrim.

Before Negrim could speak, little Milwes was the first to emphasize: "Earl Hugh Nordin, your subordinates have already promised to break the spell for me, and I have fulfilled my promise to them."

Little Milwes tried to remind Negrim to keep his promise, but he knew that if the other party wanted to pretend to be stupid, there was nothing he could do. Little Milwes looked at Sa, who came in with the three of Negrim. Piantia, obviously, at some point, this great magician from the Chenxing Kingdom had already turned his back.

He can say that there is no way out.

Little Milwes had already made [-] assumptions in his mind, even including Negrim asking him to pass to him, but he never expected that the other party's reaction was just a nod, and there was no intention of embarrassing him at all. , Yipai said relaxedly: "Ah, I know this. They told me after I woke up, since you have fulfilled your promise, then let's start, go and break the spell for His Majesty the King."

Sapiantia breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he really didn't want to be a person who turned his back on what he said. Seeing that Negrim was willing to cooperate, he rushed to greet Centaur and Abel.

And little Milwes was stunned, he never thought that things would develop like this, Hugh Nordin just agreed?Does he not care about the past?is it possible?He thought of the fate of Krevis and Pavoni's family, and felt that this conclusion was ridiculous. Hugh Nordin is not a saint. Unless he changed his soul after traveling from hell, he would never let it go easily. any enemy.

Little Milwes suspected that he was planning to directly let these people murder him, so he couldn't help dragging his weak body back to dodge, his terrified appearance almost made Negrim laugh out loud.

Finally, when the great magician couldn't help but frown at the king's lack of cooperation, Negrim said compassionately: "No one will harm you, Your Majesty, the great magician is an upright person, you He should be trusted."

Upon hearing this, little Milwes looked at Sapiantia in panic, who nodded at him helplessly, and His Majesty the King tremblingly agreed to cooperate.

It took a little time to break the curse, because apart from the difference in the magic circuit system, as Alan Hans said, he is really good at water magic, and Sapiantia had to give Abel who was in charge of translation on the spot. After teaching a lot of basic knowledge of magic, coupled with the efforts of the horses and horses, the three of them almost had a small meeting to discuss the method of breaking the curse.

And after confirming that the curse was lifted, little Melwes still tried for a long time before finally believing that they hadn't lied to him. For the first time in so many days, he drank water and really got rid of the threat of death. Little Melwes almost Weeping bitterly on the spot, he glanced at the four of Negrim with tears in his eyes, and forced himself to calm down: "I need to tidy myself up, you go to the side hall and wait first."

Negrim nodded and left with the people.

When I saw little Milwes again, another two hours had passed, the sky outside was already getting bright, and little Milwes finally regained his refreshment, and he seemed to have eaten and drank enough, except for the dark circles under his eyes With that, more or less recovered some spirit.

He looked at the three of Negrim with guarded eyes, but his attitude towards Sapiantia was quite good, which was normal. After all, Sapiantia was a great magician from another country. When you still ask for the other party's head, it is always right to have a good relationship.

But Sapiantia was not interested in him, and seeing Negrim watching a joke next to him, little Milwes could only turn cold and said to Negrim: "Congratulations Hugh Nordin The count escaped death by a narrow margin, but this time the lifting of the curse is a deal for everyone, and I have not pursued your men for threatening the king, so you can leave, right?"

Negrim saw that the other party was eager to draw a line, and he was afraid that he would make an inch, so he was not angry, but smiled and said: "Congratulations to your majesty for escaping, I deeply know that your majesty has done something for me. What, of course I will not ask for more without being satisfied."

What could little Milwes do for him?It was nothing more than the matter of the Pavoni family. Little Milwes's face turned green, and he said, "Since you are already content, why are you still standing here?"

Negrim smiled and said, "Of course I'm standing here to relieve the king's worries. To tell you the truth, I want to take on a job."

Little Milwes was taken aback, and said, "What?"

Negrim said: "I hope you can appoint me as the investigator, and let me solve the problem of the rebels for you."

How can this be? !Little Milwes paled with horror.The power of the investigator is so great that except for the royal palace, any place in the entire capital that the investigator thinks may be hidden by the investigator is free to enter, not to mention giving a few innocent people the name of a traitor, Xiaomai Elvis wanted to know that Hugh Nuoding would never let go of this good opportunity, he would definitely take advantage of his role as investigator to wantonly take revenge on those who had hurt and insulted him in the past, let alone how many ministers under him would suffer, How could he agree to Negrim's request!

However, just when little Milwes was about to reject the other party without even thinking about it, Negrim took the lead in putting his index finger in front of his lips, and said softly: "Hush! Your Majesty, please consider carefully, I will only make this request once. If you refuse, I'm afraid I won't agree to the appointment next time, even if it's voluntary."

Little Milwes froze.

Negrim smiled at him and said: "As you can see, the rebels have bought a great magician who can speak Draconic magic, whose spell even Sapiantia cannot break by himself, Do you think he will cast a curse on you for the second time? Or do you know if there are any other strange people under their command? Please think about it, there is a second person in the whole king who has the ability to help you solve the problem. Is this a thing?"

In fact, there is no need for Negrim to ask, little Milwes knows exactly what kind of trash his subordinates are. They have been entangled with the rebel forces for a whole year, and they have done nothing but kill some youngsters. Progress, they can't even prevent the intensified assassination.

But even so, he couldn't hand over the investigator's power to someone like Xiu Nuoding!When all his henchmen are cut off on various trumped-up charges, even if the rebellion is resolved, he, the king, may exist in name only. Would Hugh Nuoding let him go so kindly?

Negrim saw the struggle of little Milwes, he sneered in his heart, but said politely on his face: "I know this decision is really difficult, but there is no way, Your Majesty, people always have to make a decision in their life. Those who make various decisions, either decide to seize all death, or decide to give up all life..."

Little Milwes looked at Negrim with a livid face, realizing that what the other party said was not only about himself now, but also about him who had inherited the entire Hugh Nordin family in the past, and Negrim didn't even Any intention to conceal his purpose, he told little Melwes plainly that if he agreed to his request, it would be equivalent to giving up all his rights, but he could survive. If he refused, little Melwes would have to Died in his own right.

Little Milwes's brain was spinning wildly. Could it be that he really couldn't fight those rebels?Does he really have to rely on Xiaoxiu Nuoding?

Negrim continued: "I can understand this feeling too well, so I will help you make a choice, Your Majesty."

Little Milwes stared at him blankly, seeing Negrim being supported by his tall and handsome servant, turning around and starting to walk out of the hall: "When you get out of this door, you will lose the chance to choose ,His Majesty."

Little Milwes suddenly became anxious. He struggled in the seat, stared straight at Negrim's back, and said in his mouth, "Wait, wait! Give me a little more time to think about it. ! I will give you a satisfactory answer! Don't go!"

But Negrim didn't intend to slow down at all. To be precise, in the eyes of little Milwes, this person walked so fast that he didn't look like a cripple at all!

Seeing that the other party was about to walk out of the hall, little Milwes was finally desperate. Even if he was drinking poison to quench his thirst, he would admit that, no matter what, survival was the most important thing. If little Hugh Nuoding could make a comeback at the frontier, could it be that he just had a chance? None? !

His Majesty the King screamed as if giving up: "I promise you!"

Negrim stopped in his tracks, with a satisfied smile on his face.
