Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

The mountains of Darren Mill are about eight days away from Moir City.Seven days after leaving Moir City, Tai Lan heard a message.The mayor of Oak Barrel Town told him worriedly: The Delter Brotherhood has been particularly rampant recently, and has begun to loot nearby villages and smaller towns.Even once, they came to a place less than ten miles away from Oak Barrel Town.They ransacked a village of more than 20 families and kidnapped all the good-looking young men and women in the village.

The mayor of Oak Barrel Town wished Tyran that these bandits could be wiped out as soon as possible, and provided them with the location of their latest haunt - as far as he knew, the last time the Delt Brotherhood appeared was two days ago in Twilight Town at the foot of Darren Mill .They plundered a poor caravan and hung a dead body high in a catalpa tree along the road to Dusktown.The corpse was completely naked, covered with bruises and scars from unknown causes from head to toe, as if it had been humiliated during its lifetime.

Speaking of the tragic victim, the brown-whiskered mayor shook his head and said with regret and sympathy: "I can hardly imagine that the inhabitants of the oak barrels were treated like that poor bard." What happened to me, then I... the abyss is below! May the Lord of Shadows punish these crazy guys and throw their souls into the abyss of hell!"

Hearing the word "bard", Tailan's heart throbbed suddenly, and an inexplicable fear surged up—according to the information he got, Erwin became a bard after he left Wolin area. troubadour.Tai Lan pretended to be calm and asked the mayor about the characteristics of the victim.

The mayor frowned, recalled for a moment, and told Tailan firmly: According to the news from Twilight Town, the bard is not tall and has long black hair.

Tai Lan felt relieved, it seemed that it wasn't Erwin.Erwin once said that he would leave the Wolin area and have nothing to do with the Leinster family.Tai Lan was once annoyed by this sentence, but at this time, he had never been so grateful for Erwin's resoluteness at that time.

A gust of wind blew by, and the back was cool.It was only then that Tai Lan realized that at some point, he was already in a cold sweat.

Although it was only a false alarm, Tyran accelerated his march.From the eyes of the mayor of Oak Barrel Town, he could clearly see the hidden complaints.Tailan deeply introspected. Indeed, he was busy researching and dealing with the Colosso family in recent years, and he was indeed negligent in managing the territory.The deaths of these innocent victims were indeed his fault.

In the afternoon of the second day, the sun had just set on the main peak of the Darren Mill Mountains, and Tai Lan and his army came to the vicinity of Twilight Town.

The tall catalpa tree came into Tai Lan's eyes, together with the corpse floating in the wind above it.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, the corpse looked very thin. As the mayor said, the victim had long black hair.The bard's hands were bound by hemp ropes, and he hung high on the top of the catalpa tree. His stiff body trembled with the wind, and his long black hair fluttered in the wind. Black scars are still visible.

Apparently it wasn't Erwin.Tai Lan felt relieved and silently mourned for the deceased in her heart, and at the same time deeply regretted what she had done in the past few years.

Stabilizing his emotions, Tailan ordered two soldiers to go to dismantle the body and bury it on the spot.The soldiers quickly put the bard on the ground, found a place with soft soil and began to dig the tomb.Before burying the corpse, a soldier suddenly let out an exclamation.The voice alarmed Tailan's adjutant. After checking it, he came to report to Tailan worriedly, hoping that Tailan would take a look.

This corpse was the most miserable one Tai Lan had ever seen. The former bard's eyes were closed, and his dry long black hair was mixed with mud, covering most of his face.The corpse was very emaciated, and the stiff muscles were scarred. With just one glance, Tyran could see whip marks, burn marks, knife wounds, and some "works" carved by daggers.At the same time, the neck, wrists, and ankles of the corpse were very dark in color. Obviously, this was the trace left by the skin being worn and healed by the shackles several times after being imprisoned for a long time.

The adjutant carefully separated the corpse's legs, pointed to a brand mark on the inside of the corpse's left leg, and signaled Tailan to check it out.The moment the branding came into Tai Lan's eyes, his pupils shrank.Beneath the bluish-black bruises, one could still tell there was a coin-sized brand of ouroboros—Taylan's personal mark.

For no reason, my heart throbbed, as if the pain didn't belong to me.The chest was empty, and Tai Lan stared straight at the small mark between the corpse's messy legs, and his body trembled involuntarily.The slender ouroboros seemed to have turned into a hideous living creature, opened its mouth wide open, exposing sharp fangs, bit Tailan's heart fiercely, and injected venom into it...

Tai Lan walked forward with numb legs, squatted down, and brushed away the long hair and dirt from the corpse's face.A familiar face appeared in front of him. Although it was covered with scars and corpse spots, it could still be seen from the stiff and shriveled muscles that this face was once exquisite and delicate.Opening the closed eyelids of the dead body, Tyran saw the most terrifying sight—a violet eyeball.

His fingers trembled, and Tai Lan clearly heard the sound of his teeth colliding with each other.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?"

The adjutant's voice seemed to come from far away in the sky, Tai Lan let go of his fingers, and withdrew his hand as if it was scalded.

Erwin, it's Erwin!Why Erwin!Didn't he say that he would not appear in the Wallin area? !

Tai Lan suddenly remembered that he had seen Erwin, not far from the city of Moir!A year earlier, he had met a bard in a tavern outside Moire.The poet kept his head down, half of his face was hidden in the shadow of the cloak, and his long black hair hung down his chest.His singing voice is very beautiful, but a little hoarse.At that time, Mr. Dipper himself asked him if he would go to Farret Manor to sing some novel poems for his wife, Novella.The other party was silent for a long time and rejected him.At that time, Tai Lan just felt that he was a little familiar, but now...he can conclude that it is Erwin.

The soul seemed to be pulled away, Tai Lan's legs were weak, and he knelt down on one knee.

The adjutant supported him in time and asked anxiously.Tai Lan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, let it out slowly, opened his mouth, and said the familiar name with difficulty: "Erwin."

The adjutant's hands visibly trembled.Immediately afterwards, he gasped and looked at the corpse in front of him again.Afterwards, he supported Tailan and comforted him softly: "Lord Earl, the deceased is dead, and my condolences will change."

The dead are gone?

Do not!

not necessarily!

Tyran suddenly thought of something.He threw off the adjutant, picked up Erwin's body, and stumbled towards the carriage containing the battle puppets.

In the astonishment and puzzlement of the adjutant, he let go of his bleeding lower lip, and ordered calmly and firmly: "Return to Moir City, now, immediately, immediately!"
