Forced to be the Lord of the Underworld

It's not that Harding doesn't want to stay longer, but the time limit given by the earl is coming soon.

Zuo Si thought for a while, he is now a yellow bone, plus Jiu Yin, not to mention the freedom to come and go in the county, and he will not be manipulated at will.

After the battle with Jedro, Jiuyin has already started to resist, and he can fight in three days at most.

Although Harding was anxious to go back, he was prepared to delay for another three days.

Three days later, Zuo Si hid Jiuyin in the ring of the goddess and went out of the city with Harding.

Kenda City is far from the county, and it takes about a day and a half to travel at the speed of an ordinary ship, but it can be reached in two hours with a refitted warship.

Due to the existence of Harding and his party, he ordered the control room to drive at the speed of an ordinary warship.

For now, refitting the warship is still one of his trump cards. It is always good for Zuo Sibu to let the outside world know about the refitting of the warship later.

Harding also drove a warship when he came, and Zuo Si's boat followed behind, moving slowly.

Harding didn't know why, but insisted on taking the same boat with him.

Before leaving, Amon told him that Sekensi was originally a general under the previous Earl of Dolan County, just like Harding, but he became rebellious and overthrew the rule of the previous Earl and became the new count.

Sekenxi, who knew how he came to power, was on guard against both the city lord and the general under him. He even bought medicine from the witch at a high price to control the general under him.

It's not that it doesn't want to be used by the city lord, but that the potion is too expensive. It can't afford to use the three generals under it, let alone add seven city lords. That's the rhythm of going bankrupt.

Therefore, Sekenxi's approach to his subordinates is to use potions to control generals at the yellow bone level, and to kill the city lord. The county has no shortage of blue bones to serve as the city lord.

This is also the reason why no city lord dared to rebel in Dolan County since it took office.

Right after it came to power, the city lord it killed had at least one hand.

In other words, when Zuo Si went to the county, every word and deed might provoke Sekenxi, and then he would be killed.

He will not sit still, there will definitely be a battle between the two sides, the current Zuo Si Department cannot resist the army of the county, even if it barely defends, it will consume a lot of troops.

If he wants to become an earl within a year, it will be postponed.

A few months have passed, and if it is postponed, the side mission will not be completed. He should keep a low profile this trip, and it is best not to let Sekenxi notice him.

After all, he heard from Harding that other city lords would also go. It was regarded as a tribute from the city lords to the county, and then they were subject to the review of the county.

The county has spies distributed in each city-state, and based on the news of the spies, Sekensi will make a judgment.

Fortunately, he went to Beihai in secret, declaring to the outside world that he was just unwell and recuperating in the city lord's mansion.

Now the outside world is still skeptical about whether he drank the witch's potion.

Say he drank it, he can beat the city lord of Dakaicheng, say he didn't drink it, he looks sick again.

Half-truths, half-false, people can't see the doorway.

At that time, Zuo Si pretended to be sick and weak, just trying to lure Myerson, the lord of Lanlin City, to take action, but he held back, but he didn't expect the rumors to spread, which made people suspicious.

Maybe Earl Sekensey thought he was pretending to be sick for some other purpose.

"What is the left city master thinking?"

Harding came out and saw him standing on the deck with nothing in his eyes, stepped forward and asked.

Zuo Si turned to look at it and said, "It's the first time I've been to the county, and I'm curious about the customs and customs of the county."

"It's okay to be curious, don't worry about it." Harding stared at him with a half-smile, the meaning in his words couldn't be more obvious.

The county is good, and it is better to be an earl. People's desires are endless. Harding is beating him, so as not to give birth to undue ambitions.

In fact, that's what Harding said, and he doesn't think that a mere blue bone can turn up any big waves.

Zuo Si held on to the rudder without saying a word. It is best to keep silent about this kind of topic, otherwise, no matter what you say, you will always be caught.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Harding chuckled and said, "The Earl already knew about Myerson's plan to send troops to open the city."

"It's not stupid, and it also knows to take the initiative to report and explain the reason for sending troops. Although it is a bit late, at least it has said it."

"And you, you sent troops when you said you would. You were helping Myerson, but it reported it, but you didn't."

"Do you know the consequences of the city lord sending troops without permission?"

As Harding spoke, his gaze kept on Zuo Si's body, trying to see something from his eyes.

Zuo Si looked at it calmly: "If the count wants to kill me, he doesn't need to find so many reasons,"

Sekensi is the earl, killing a city lord, he can be charged with a crime casually, it's just a matter of one sentence, it's not as troublesome as Harding said, and he has all kinds of excuses.

Harding paused for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "What City Master Zuo said is, what reason does the Earl need to kill people?"

It laughed almost unsteadily, for some reason, Zuo Si could hear a trace of sadness from its laughter.

Speaking of it, it is only superficial, but in fact it is controlled by potions.

Whether it is loyal to Sekensi or to the potion is not certain.

Zuo Si patted it on the shoulder in understanding, pretending to be sorry and said: "We city lords seem to be under the control of others, but actually living alone in a city can be considered chic and comfortable."

As the three great yellow-bone generals of the county, they are superficially beautiful, and the city lords under the county dare not disobey, but most of their time is still in the county, and they are still under the control of others.

After drinking the potion, they dare not resist. The only time they can have fun is probably when they go out to patrol.

Harding is the captain of the personal guard. It can often replace the Earl of Sekensi to inspect the major cities. Only at that time, it is the boss. The city lords obey it in everything and dare not disobey it.

Being able to inspect the city-state, the other two generals are envious of it. They can only gain short-term freedom during times of war.

The so-called yellow bones, compared to those blue bone city lords, except for their stronger strength, how can they have a smooth life.

Seeing that it was deep in thought, Zuo Si didn't bother him, what he wanted was for it to think more, if it didn't think about anything, his plan would be in vain.

He asked in his heart: "Nineteen, does the system have something to remove the potions on their bodies?"

"Yes, just give it black and white potions." Nineteenth explained: "The two control potions are not produced by the system, and they will be controlled by you."

Nineteen means to fight poison with fire.

Use the potion produced by the system to suppress the potion Sekense bought from the witch, first make Harding his servant, and then release the control.

The black and white potion produced by the system, the way to get rid of it is to drink another bottle of black potion. Calculated, it will cost more than 1000 gold coins to get rid of the potion on Harding's body.

After he completed the task of killing ten blue bone spider crabs and one yellow bone spider crab, the gold coins rewarded by the system were enough, but he still had to prepare gold coins for the next lottery draw.

Zuo Si found that Harding was still somewhat dissatisfied with Sekenxi, and the source of his dissatisfaction was the control potion. As long as he could unlock the control effect of the potion, he would gain a combat power for him.

Harding was the captain of the Sekkensi's personal guard, and if it was on his side, it would play a huge role.

It's just that some things can't be rushed and need to be planned slowly. After all, even if he told Harding that he could remove the control effect of the potion, Harding probably wouldn't believe it.

A little blue-bone city lord doesn't even have the money to buy the potion, so how can he talk about dispelling the potion.

Harding didn't believe it if he said it rashly, and he might report him to the Earl of Sekkensi.

He didn't know how long he would stay for this trip to the county.

The gathering of all the city lords should not end too soon, he still has time.

[Drip~ Start the side mission, remove the potion control on Harding's body, reward [-] gold coins for completion, and deduct [-] gold coins for failure. 】

[Drip~ Open the side mission, if you can release the control of the three yellow bone potions under Sekenxi, you will be rewarded with an additional [-] gold coins, and no gold coins will be deducted if you fail. 】

[Drip~ Start the side mission, subdue the three yellow-bone generals, one will be rewarded with [-] gold coins, and the one who fails will be deducted [-] gold coins. 】

The system released three side missions one after another, one of which will not deduct gold coins even if it fails, which also shows that the mission is difficult.

Moreover, this seems to be three tasks, but in the end there is only one, that is to subdue the three yellow-bone generals. It is also because the task is too difficult that the system will divide it into three tasks.

Zuo Si clicked directly to accept. He already had the intention to subdue them. Of course he had to accept the mission. If he succeeded, he would still have gold coins to get. Of course, if he failed, the gold coins would also be deducted.

It depends on whether the three yellow bone generals are absolutely loyal to Sekenxi, or whether they have any resentment for being forced to drink the potion.

He looked at Harding, it had come to its senses, and found Zuo Si's eyes, it pretended to be free and easy: "Then you don't know how good it is to be a general of the county."

It's really good, earning a lot of money, one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, except that they are not free.

Freedom... Speaking of freedom, the undead in the sea of ​​darkness are not free. They are trapped in the sea of ​​darkness, unable to go to land, and even trapped by the country.

Except for the skeletons at the top of the pyramid who can be free in the sea of ​​darkness, most of the skeletons are trapped at the birth point. They are constantly oppressed, so what is freedom?

In comparison, the three yellow-boned generals are much better, but they are all yellow-boned, but they are subject to Sekensi, who is also yellow-boned.

No, it's not just restrained, after drinking the potion, they are the slaves of Sekkensi, they can't even have their own thoughts, otherwise they will be tortured.

As long as they are disobedient, Sekenxi will give them the antidote for the month one day later, making them suffer for one day, sometimes longer, and will not give the antidote until they can no longer persist.

It is precisely because of this that they dare not resist, no, they dare not even have the thought of resisting.

If they don't drink the potion, then the city owner may really be inferior to the general of the county, power, money, or the general is easier to obtain.

It's similar to the ancient Beijing officials and the feudal officials. Who lives a good life and who lives a bad life depends entirely on what kind of monarch the person in power is.

Zuo Si stretched out his hand to turn the rudder of the boat, and then turned back. He was about to arrive at the county. He was about to see what kind of person Sekenxi was.

Before that, he had to shake Harding and make him feel rebellious, then his plan would be much easier to implement.
