Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 8. Byron Desert (2)

Then another group comes this way. The smallest of them all, the youngest of them, said.

“What happened to the Earl didn't change his temper? ”

Tehaz. Priella walks side by side, followed by about ten Byrons.

“Grandma, it's been a long time. ”

“It's been four months. How are you?”

“I was a little busy, but I couldn't stay. ”

“Anyway, now that you're a lord, get rid of that temper of yours. ”

Lycaen smiles unnoticed at Tehaz's repeated bruises.

In fact, when he became an Earl, he did not raise his voice. I was quite careful because of my father's repeated demands. It did not remove his original personality, nor did it remove his sometimes harsh language or profanity, but it was much less than before.

Strangely, it didn't work out well with Wolf alone. The Wolf, on the other hand, earned the nickname "The Body Calling Contempt" to Anton, Julia, and the Knights.

“Well, that's the thing... before we talk, let me ask you a favor. ”

“Please?”

“Let's keep them in that wagon. ”

“Lock him up?”

Tehas tilts his head and signals you to go to Yulia. Julia, who was packing behind the wagon, unwittingly flawed me and looked in and out of the wagon.

There were about twenty people in the wagon with hoods on their faces.

“We have some explaining to do, so let's get moving. ”

Tehaz shakes his head excitedly, kicking his tongue at Lycaen's words.

“Follow me.”

Following Tehaz was a residential neighborhood in eastern Tadran. Buildings were all great because they were thriving cities in the past, but it felt fairly barren as there were few people living and unsecured. Fortunately, it's cleaner than other parts of the city.

The first thing you see when you walk into a house with Tehaz is two Byronites standing on the sidewalk with their weapons. This was the residence of Byron refugees.

Along the way, you see the Byron refugees everywhere, but they are busy rushing into the house as they make eye contact with Lycaen.

After a long walk, the square in the center of the house emerges. And a few Byrons come this way in the middle of the square.

“Looks like you guys were talking. ”

An old man asks for Tehaz. Tehaz nods and introduces Lycaen.

“He's the one I told you about. Someone who can help us with our work in the future. ”

The old man greeted Lycaen with a relaxed expression.

“My name is Radus. This is the chief of this town. ”

Then Tehaz intervenes in the middle and says,

“A chieftain of the Dylan clan. ”

“Haha, isn't it hard to say chieftain now, Princess? ”

When Lycaen, who was about to say hello, lost his time saying "Princess," Tehaas blamed him.

“What do you say when you have to start rebuilding the kingdom? You must have the confidence to survive the Dyrands. ”

“Haha, I guess so. ”

Unlike his twisted Tehaz, Radus seemed relaxed and relaxed.

Licayen cautiously greets you as soon as you two are done talking.

“This is Riccianne Prokers. ”

“Welcome. We've heard that you help us a lot. It might be a little uncomfortable, but you should feel at ease for the rest of your life. ”

“Thank you."

After finishing his greeting, Lycaen hurriedly said to Tehaz,

“Take care of the men in the wagon first. ”

“Got it, kid. Radus, can you hold off those people in that wagon for a while? ”

“Yes? Locked up? ”

“I have a situation, so do me a favor. We ask that you keep an eye on the area or people in plain sight. I'll pay you if you need me, so just pay attention to eating and sleeping. ”

“Sure.”

Radus nods at the young men standing behind him.

“You guys go take care of it. ”

“I understand.”

Liquenne asked, confirming that the young Byrons carried the knights in the wagon onto their shoulders.

“The town could be in danger if this place is exposed. I'm sorry to involve you in such a dangerous situation, but I'm going to have to ask you for a moment. ”

He scolded me with a look that he didn't like.

“Son of a bitch, you shouldn't have started that. ”

“Oh, please understand, I have a situation. And your grandmother did it for you? Chief Raddus gave it to me. ”

“Anyway... Tsk, tsk, tsk. ”

“Let's start there. ”

“Are you sure about that? ”

A deep night that shines so hard that the blue moon will shine. Lycaen hides himself in the dunes and points to a lake far away. It was the only oasis in the desert where grasslands, trees, and water existed.

The oasis is a lifeline for those who cross the desert. Of course, this is where a lot of people go, and there are people who do business with them. Most of them have lodging businesses, but surprisingly, they are frozen houses.

For those suffering from scorching sun and dry sand winds, comfortable dragonflies, warm baths, and cooked food are the only pleasures to meet during the end of the desert.

Deserts are a land of heat that can lead to painful deaths, but many merchants did not hesitate to end the desert because trading through ports on the south coast can make a lot of money. That's why people come to the oasis almost every day.

There were other groups because of him. It's the Mages of the Desert. Seeing that there are many merchants carrying large quantities of goods, even those who are aiming for it naturally arise.

That's why merchants hire mercenaries to escort them, and those living in the oasis protect the town through long-term contracts with mercenaries. Once rumored to be a village robbed by the Martyrs, guests stop coming for a while.

For that reason, the oasis was always crowded.

But now the oasis that Lycaen is pointing to is as quiet as a dead rat. Not only was it quiet, but it was also very slow. Most of the oases had buildings that looked like houses, but only a few large tents stood there.

Tehaz, who was next to him, said with a slight impression.

“Why would I lie to you about this? ”

“I was angry and... I just asked. ”

Lycaen, who lightly let out Tehaz's snarl, gestures toward the back.

Lie flat on the slope of the sand hill behind Lycaen, the Wolf nods slightly and raises his head. And the twenty knights who were lying on their backs side by side raised their torso one after the other.

Lycaen's voice echoes towards Wolf.

“If you hold it, you have to keep your hands closed. We don't know how many more suicides to investigate. ”

“I understand.”

The oasis below the sand dunes was found by Tehaz during the last four months after his efforts. It was the middle landing of a secret organization that started a war and dragged people away.

Tehaz, who moved to meet chieftains of tribes scattered across the continent, did not neglect to gather intelligence from secret organizations. And only a month ago, their clothing was faded, which seemed to be a little hidden.

There were Byrons living in an empty oasis in the desert. There was also information that some of the people going into the desert sometimes saw Byrons.

It was information revealed because it was a desert with few people around except merchants. After releasing the news to Lycaen without delay, Tehaz immediately returned to the Republic of Morellia.

Lycaen, who was preparing to personally check out the auction houses where the goods had been unpacked, adjusted the order around the auction house to make the Republic of Morellia the last place and set off.

Auction houses were two in the Kingdom of Stanen to the north, one in the Kingdom of Delos to the west, four in the Kingdom of Gronis and one in the Republic of Morellia. Lycaen arrived in the Republic of Morellia after a gruesome journey from the Kingdom of Stanen to a total of eight auction houses within a month.

But that's where Elisha and the Knights of the Twilight met. That's why I was able to think of a way to lock it up and wrap it up later.

Just as the moon shines brightly on the ground, it hides behind the clouds. Looking closely, the clouds were quite large and thick, giving me enough time. Wolf moved his feet to see if he was thinking the same thing.

“I'll be back.”

The Wolf bows as low as he can and quickly follows the dunes. Since then, twenty knights have followed Wolf in the same posture.

“Grandma, get ready! ”

It was when the Wolf and his knights arrived at the shore. Suddenly, the clouds were lifting, whether the wind had blown, or whether the reverse wind had blown, and the lake's surface was shining with moonlight. The high-pitched sound that resonates with him.

Beep, beep, beep, beep!
