Law of the Devil

Chapter 20 [Half Horn City Warcraft Incident I]

Saliskaya's lab is in the south. Because his own research is oriented towards fire magic.

In the hot south, it is clear that the fire elements inherent in nature are more abundant. Otherwise, running to the north of the ice and snow to drill for fire magic doesn't mean no, but that means a little smoking.

Dewey made the decision and moved quickly.

Solskaya was immediately released from the dungeon, his magician robe, his equipment, a bottle of powder, his magic crystals, and his magic spell parchment paper were all returned to him.

Magician robes, of course, are new.

For this young master, a magician could be recruited as a subordinate, and the old housekeeper of the castle was very surprised at the beginning. But when he found out that Solskaya was nothing more than a first-degree magician, the old butler let go... so that's it.

The old butler couldn't refuse Dewey's request to go away, and he said this morning that it would be much more intuitive to suggest that Dewey could take a look at some of the estates of the family in the Territory and visit them than to stay in the castle to look at the boring books.

Soon, carriages, horses, luggage, everything's ready. It's not the same as getting a cold acid field from down south in Tidu. The old butler arranged it much better this time. After all, if in the territory of the Rollins, it is too cold for the young master to travel, but it is a bit embarrassing.

He's still Mad Donald Dewey's housekeeper, but Mad has ten more servants in the castle this time. Take care of the master all the way.

Two cavalry squadrons accompanied Dewey in the castle's escort. Moreover, the deputy captain of the Castle Guard, a regular knight with good martial arts skills, will accompany him personally. The deputy captain, Robert, is a regular knight! A Knights Association certified person with a genuine Class 4 Knight badge!

The two cavalry teams that accompanied him, one from Robert's immediate team and the other from Dewey Chin, ordered that group that had been coming all the way south with themselves from the Emperor.

The fourth-level knight, Robert, looks tall, mighty, wide shoulders, a strong body, a square-face, and at first glance a straight guy. For Dewey, the little master, the knight had considerable respect for his attitude and seemed to be a simple samurai. Dewey had a good impression of him.

In addition to these people, there is also a female knight, naturally the first direct report that Dewey solicited from herself, Jolyn.

Down south from the castle, on the way, Robert did his job very diligently, and he carefully arranged for people to step forward and stay on guard. Occasionally, when Du Vichy burst out, he offered to camp outside at night, and Robert did not offer any opinions, but nodded his head in silence. After going down, he will also make very careful arrangements for night watchers and guards.

A very typical soldier.

That's what Dewey said about Robert. Obviously, this guy must have been in the army. As a minister of the Rollin family of Wuhun, many of the knights in the family have a curriculum vitae in the army.

This loyal and dedicated knight is undoubtedly much more conspicuous than the old butler who made Dewey a bit annoying.

Seven Heaven.

It took Duvi seven days to reach one of the southernmost towns in Cote d 'Ivoire. Going further south, we are leaving the province of Côte d 'Ivoire, that is, the territory of the Rollins.

Overall, Dewey was very satisfied with the situation in the Rollins' territory. On this geographically pleasing Rollin plain, all he saw along the way were vast tracts of farmland, rich farms, laid-back farmers, even occasionally passing through a slightly larger town or two, who could see how well the people lived.

As their convoys walk down the road, they often pass one or two farms, and some farmers stand by the side of the road, and when they see these knights with the Rollins flag, they also wave their hats far away.

Looks like the Rollins are still very impressive here.

Robert also saw that the little owner was not out to inspect any family property. He takes people out to the mountains to play with water.

But that's not surprising. Given the young master's age, Robert also thinks that a 13-year-old boy can really manage some family business? And it's not something he should care about, he just has to do his job and act as a good protector.

On that day, when you reached the most marginal town in the southern part of the Rollins' territory, Dewey suddenly offered to continue south. Robert had no objection to that request, although he was somewhat surprised.

Anyway, it is also a trip, since the little master is interested, then just follow him south.

Moreover, further south from Kurt province, is the imperial province of Lille, the Governor of Lille province is very friendly and respectful to the Rollin family. The young master of the Rollin family comes to visit Lille province, he will definitely get some care, nothing to worry about.

Dewey soon fell in love with this obedient knight. He also saw that the Robert Knight, among these cavalry men, was also very popular. Often in camps, some young cavalry members teach him martial arts.

Robert's martial arts are quite remarkable - in Dewey's eyes. This knight can dance a huge sword with amazing arm strength! None of the seven or eight men were able to approach him while mentoring the young soldiers.

Even Jolyn's obedience, the barbarian samurai, was quite appealing to Robert. Because in one comparison, Robert chopped down the Bull Warrior with only one sword in his hand.

Four knights, indeed the force is good.

In such circumstances, Dewey also felt itchy and offered to teach Robert some martial arts. Robert was somewhat surprised by the small master's request. Because, according to the management of the family, the son of a family chief like Dewey, if he wants to learn martial arts, must be looking for the most martial arts knight in the family to be a teacher, how can it not be his little cavalry captain?

Robert replied with pleasure that he was practicing the Qi cultivation method taught by the Imperial Army. And it's not a great secret. However, as was the assessment made by the guard elder next to Count Raymond, Robert had to tell Dewey after a brief lesson that he really had no talent for martial arts.

Dewey has had more than one body since childhood, had a major illness, and was congenitally deficient.

Dewey had nothing to be depressed about, he didn't expect to be a master, but he felt he needed a little exercise. Even if you can't be a master, it's good to be strong and healthy!

Thus, under Robert's guidance, Dewey began to learn some of the most basic martial arts techniques, mainly physical exercises. And that also led to a slowdown of a row south by a few more points.

On the ninth day just south, a group arrived in a small town in the north-eastern province of Lille Bank in the southern part of the empire… Half Corner City.

This is a strange name because the city is situated next to a half-angled valley.

This small city is quite prosperous as it is located on a route to and from an important merchant group in north-eastern Lille Bank Province. Even in this town, Dewey and others saw a group of mercenaries of about twenty men! The mercenaries were escorting a merchant team north. Just as Dewey and others stayed in the same hotel.

The province of Lille is not a noble territory, but an imperial province. There are no high-ranking officials in such a small town, and Dewey doesn't want to deal with those local officials, and staying in hotels is more liberal. So the arrival of their travelers did not alarm the local officials.

At lunch, Dewey et al. were in the lobby of the hotel, while the other merchant team was on the other side of the lobby. Suddenly there was a rush of horseshoes outside the hotel, and after a noise, the gate was pushed open and three knights dressed in local guarded armor walked in.

The first, with a knight's medal on his chest, represented that he was also a fourth-level knight, and the armor and military badge on his body, apparently a senior officer of the local guard army.

The man walked in, clustered by several ministers, and came to the merchants first and announced aloud: "Gentlemen! I'm Captain Spann of the Second Cavalry of the Halfway City Local Guard! Now, under the Empire's Local Armament Law, I officially requisition your escort on behalf of the Hemisphere City Local Army! We need your escort to assist us on a mission to the valley in the outer half of the city because we do not have enough troops at our disposal. Under imperial law, you cannot refuse. ”

He spoke loudly and was resolute, and then glanced at the guards of the merchants: “I know you are all mercenaries, and I now enlist you to join me on my mission, after which the Imperial Army will pay you. You have half an hour to pack your gear and horses! Half an hour later, I need everyone to meet at the hotel entrance. ”

Mercenaries who serve as escorts to the mercenaries are reluctant, but imperial laws are mountainous, and they cannot refuse to do so, and they are paid anyway.

However, the merchant team saw that the guards they had paid for were recruited away. They had to be a little anxious. Immediately, an eyebrow came together and wanted to try to accommodate the officer...

“No!” the knight refused simply: “I'm sorry your trip will be delayed, but I promise it won't take long. Your escort will be back by this time tomorrow at the latest. You have the option of staying in the city for one more day, and the military will pay for your stay in this hotel! Please stop saying that this is a military task, I can't accommodate it, and please take back your gold coin, buying an officer is a felony! ”

After that, the knight left the leader of the merchant team and turned to the Dewey line.

He had also announced to Dewey his obedience, but he took two steps and suddenly saw some of Dewey's obedient clothes, as well as Dewey's own outfit... more importantly, he saw Robert and others behind Dewey!

Robert's armor is clearly not imperial military. It's like that kind of aristocratic militia equipment.

Recruitment of other aristocrats' private armies, such power is not available to him as a small local cavalry cavalry captain!

Knight Spann looked at Dewey for a few moments, hesitated for a moment, but at the moment he really didn't have any people in his hand, and the task was so urgent, he couldn't wait, finally bit his teeth and walked toward Dewey. First bent over and gave a gift as a knight, then silenced: "Dear Sir, I...”

Speaking of which, Spann's voice suddenly clasped. Because he didn't notice, and now he sees it clearly!

Several guard cavalry behind Dewey, not on the light armor on the chest, Herring family badge!

He wanted to use some means to borrow each other's escorts, but he didn't say he could borrow the famous Imperial Wuhun family!

Shit, the Rollins? How did the Rollins get to the Cape Town? Why haven't you heard from me at all...

Spann's helplessly sighed.

“Please continue, Mr. Knight.” Dewey held up the glass with a smile and sipped lightly. This light wheat wine still feels good in the mouth and tastes a bit like rice wine from a previous life.

“This… esteemed sir. With all due respect, are you from the great Rollins?” Spann's voice was even more respectful, and his unconscious body even owed him a few points.

We're from the Rollin Plains. ”Robert was speaking this time, and he took a step, half a head taller than this Spanner knight:“ This is my master, Lord Dewey, the eldest son of Count Raymond of the Rollin family. ”

Spann immediately renewed his salute, and the son of the Rowling clan chief, such an identity, even in the face of the Governor, would be even.

“Mr. Knight, what kind of trouble are you in?” Dewey asked with a smile.

“Yes…” Spanney weighed in for a moment, but said the truth: "I have just received an urgent task that requires about a hundred soldiers. But most of the guards in Half Corner City were dragged 200 miles to the south for spring games. At present, I have less than twenty men left. Therefore, under the Imperial Local Arms Decree, I can only temporarily recruit fighters from the city to serve temporarily in the military. ”

Dewey nodded: "Well, are you going to recruit my guard, too? ”

“No, no, no!” Spann startled. That's what he meant, but after he found out who he was, how dare he do it?

Who is Count Raymond? It's Imperial Army number two! Recruit his son's escort? In the unlikely event that this young master suffers any accident due to the lack of guard protection around him, even if he chops off his head a hundred times, this sin cannot be offset.

“So, what happened?” Dewey's a little curious: “After all, we're here now, and if anything happens here, please let me know and let's get ready. ”

The Spanner thought about it, said it, his expression was a little helpless and a little distressed: “This thing is also weird to say, the half-horned mountain outside the half-horned city has never been calm and calm, this mountain is not tall, the forest is not deep, there was not even a bigger beast before, even if there is, usually our local guards hunt up the mountain three forks apart, they also beat it up! But yesterday, all of a sudden, I don't know where it came from... Warcraft! ”

Dewey's eyes shine!

Magical beast?

“Yes, it is uncertain what the beast is, but it is certainly a big one, because the hunters in the mountains saw the footprints of the beast with their own eyes. That's for sure. It is simply inexplicable that warcraft do not generally live close to the cities inhabited by humans, if any, in the wilderness on the southern border of the Empire. Moreover, the whole province of Lille has not heard of any warcraft in decades. This thing doesn't even know where it came from.” Spann laughed bitterly: “Me and my men were ordered to go to the mountains to hunt this guy down, but according to my estimation, this big guy, if he's going to kill it, he's going to have to have at least twenty soldiers. And Half Corner Mountain is so big, if you surround it in the mountains, there's not a hundred people, I'm afraid it's not enough. ”

Demonic beast... sounds interesting.

Dewey couldn't bear to move.

In fact, since he has found a glimmer of hope to learn magic, he has recently developed a keen interest in almost everything related to magic!

In the southern hinterland of the Empire, a rare monster has emerged! How can something like this not be fun?

“Good! I have forty escorts, all of them elite cavalry of the Rollins, and this is my captain, a level four knight. I would like them to accompany you to the half-horned mountains to carry out this task. After all, watching a warcraft ravage is not in keeping with my being a humane man.” Dewey said these two words with a great deal of sense.

Spann stunned for a moment: "Are you saying... you would lend me all your guards...”

“Master, this is no good.” Robert raised his objection for the first time: "You can't be left unprotected. If I have to go, I'll take 20 people. ”

Robert was willing to help, after all, he was also a regular knight and believed in knighthood.

“No, no, don't worry, I don't have a guard around me.” Dewey smiled, “because I'm coming with you. I think it's safest to be around you, isn't it? ”

Now Robert and Spann are both going against it.

Especially Spann! He's starting to regret telling this young master of the Rollins!

Take him with you? Catching or not catching a warcraft is a small thing! But after climbing the mountain, the young master had a slight accident! That's really bad luck for me!

“You don't have to object.” Dewey simply made the decision: “Don't worry about my safety, don't forget, I have a brilliant magician beside me! ”

He pushed Saliscaya out.

Saliskaya was helpless. But even though he can't talk about the power of excellence, the magician's identity is real.

Spann's eyes shine!

Magician? With the assistance of a highly skilled magician, this mission should be fine!

However…… the young master's safety……

(I read every book critique carefully every day, and many of my book friends wrote quite standard reviews, which made me look at the perspiration. And some of my book buddies are eager to get me information, and I appreciate it here.

In addition, I think that the so-called "rationality” of YY novels need not be too demanding, can only talk about one approximate, approximate, reasonable, otherwise, if every detail must be true and reasonable, it really makes me difficult. If you have to be reasonable, then first of all, this kind of crossing is the biggest irrationality, then there's no need for the book to exist, right? After all, this is an online novel, not a scientific study. Heh...

Still that sentence, thanks for your support, Little Five must try to write this book.

Finally, don't forget to smash the ticket!
