The Dark King

It was already outside the curfew time. Du Dean drove along the street quickly, relying on keen hearing to avoid the parade soldiers in advance, came to the wilderness, and traveled at full speed, not long after, came to a small town in the suburbs, this is a broken town, The soldiers on duty led the meager beneficiaries, chatting at the gate of the town, dozing off, and waiting for the curfew to patrol at most once, so they were too lazy to manage.

Du Di'an came to the last butcher's house, put on a mask, and still bought an iron-backed fat pig. The butcher's family member was a middle-aged man, who had already recognized Du Di'an. He was not surprised to see him dressed, and he was suspected of being a thief. , And handed over the iron slaughtered pig back to Du Dean politely. During this time, his youngest son did not sleep. When he came out to see Du Dean, he was screamed and was scolded back by him. His wife immediately took the child to the room and closed it. At the door, only a soft whisper came out, and ordinary people could not hear it, but they could not escape Du Dean's ears.

Du Di'an listened to his wife's words while trading and saw that he wasn't talking about himself, so he was relieved to put the iron-backed pig in a thick sack on his back and turned around to leave. The power of this action showed the middle-aged butcher deep. In awe, I remember Du Di'an's admonishment more and more, not daring to expose the transaction between the two. After all, if this matter is publicized, he will also commit crimes.

Du Di'an followed the river outside the town and left the town from the side. No patrol soldiers were seen along the way. After entering the wilderness, he quickly rushed to the fortress where he stole many times. Today is different from usual. Looking far away, the fortress is on There were obviously more soldiers in the team, and the smell of different people was much stronger. Du Dean observed for a moment, found the gap, and passed the wall in a familiar way.

When he stole outside the fortress, Dudi immediately walked along the wilderness to the dilapidated building.

When he came to the basement of this building, Du Dean immediately saw the little ripper locked in a tungsten steel cage. The latter also saw him, and suddenly stood up from the prone sleeping position, his sickle arm touching the tungsten. Dinging on the steel cage, it seemed like countless swords fighting.

Du Dean drew his dagger and, as usual, cut the Ironback Pig into several pieces and threw it at it.

The little ripper looked at the iron-back pig that was put in, and enjoyed it happily. It didn't take long for a whole iron-back pig to enter his stomach. After eating, he sat down and rested again, as if he knew he would never There is more food.

Du Di'an saw that he didn't yell at him, and he was a little happy in his heart. Now he doesn't carry the plasma shell of the ripper, and he doesn't have any smell of the ripper, but this little ripper seems to know him, even if he is close to the cage. Stimulate its aggressiveness.

Du Dian smiled slightly and sat with him in the prison cage for a few words. Although he knew that he could not understand it, it was because of this that he was able to open his heart and speak his own words without hesitation.

In this bleak night, in this barren mountain and broken house, one person and one animal whispered.

After speaking for half an hour, Du Di'an said goodbye to the little ripper, turned around and left, blocked the hole outside the basement, and left the broken house straight, along the other direction, to the leased passage of death.

In the middle of the passage to the Great Wall, there is also a fortress, guarded by knights under the light of the Holy See, to prevent hunters from sneaking into the city. After all, relying on the military fortress alone is difficult to defend the hunter’s smuggling, especially some Hunter with special latent ability.

Du Di'an hurried to the Bright Fortress and stopped at a distance. He pulled out a high-powered telescope to observe. The fortress was as usual. It seemed that the destruction of the Little Cleaver last time was only an illusion.

He hesitated, but gave up the idea of ​​adventure and turned around and left here. At this time, he felt the difficulty of lonely palms. If he had an acquaintance in the light of the Holy See, he would let him sneak in with only one hello. This is something that other consortia have. This is the essence.

After returning along the original road, Du Di'an walked in a slash, and went to another fortress, which was the riding fortress that was broken by the savages.

He rushed at full speed for more than an hour before he arrived in front of the King's Fortress. He could vaguely meet some savages along the way and marched towards the King's Fortress late at night.

Du Di'an didn't attack. Although he couldn't find any information about the savages in the library, he knew very little about the savages. But don't think about it. The savages' spoken language is not the same as the language in the fortress. It's difficult to torture out something. The higher-ranking senior among the people, the other party may understand some of the language of the living area, and also know enough about the savages, but they can attack and kidnap.

When he arrived ten kilometers away from the King’s Fortress, Du Dean had smelled a thick bloody smell on the grassland, pungent, and it was not difficult to imagine how many soldiers were sacrificed during the daytime war and how much blood was shed. He sneaked in sneakily By about eight miles, a fortress outline could be seen from afar. Only one of the tall walls was broken and collapsed. There were a lot of hazy black silhouettes shaking and entering the fortress along the gap.

Du Di'an's eyes flickered, but he didn't expect that until the middle of the night, the military hadn't snatched the fortress back, and he didn't hear snare drums and fighting sounds. Has the military department abandoned the fortress?

"Behind this is the plain, which leads directly to the living area of ​​the business district, where nobles and wealthy merchants live. The military department should carry out the final defense on the wall in the living area. Once the wall is broken, the savages will be like wolves. When entering the flock, the casualties caused by the count cannot be counted." Du Di'an's eyes flickered. Although the details of the military department should be able to hold on, the savages should not be underestimated. Anyway, before the war starts, the first The sacrificial people are nomadic civilians living on the plains within the walls of the living area. Although there are only a few scattered villages and economically backward towns on this plain, there are at least tens of thousands of people. If the military department is not here Riding the fortress for the first time to counterattack means that the residents of this plain were abandoned by the military department.

Du Di'an thoughtfully, suddenly came up with an idea, eyes narrowed slightly, turned and left quietly.

After sneaking into the fortress along the original road, when Du Dean returned to the hotel, it was already early in the morning. He woke up the driver and went directly to the temple.

Du Dean went straight to the Divine Art Shrine, purchased one hundred kilograms of yesterday's three kinds of materials again, and found another one at the same time, said: "How much does it cost to exchange for gold coins?"

The person behind the trading desk is still the previous youth. Although Du Di'an wore a mask, he still recognized it and even said politely: "If you exchange a drop at your discount rate, you only need ten gold coins."

Du Di An immediately said: "Give me two bottles."

The young man stunned and smiled bitterly: "With your authority, you can only buy one thousand drops at a time, and only one bottle."

Du Di'an frowned and said, "OK, let's get a bottle first."

The young man's mouth twitched slightly. This sounded like buying horse wine, but he knew that Du Di'an had just developed a new magic technique recently, and he didn't lack this amount of money. He said, "OK, you fill out the form first, I will apply for you. "

Dudian filled out the form, paid the money, and turned away.

In a horse-drawn carriage, he came to the Thirteen Gods Castle. Du Dean got off at the door and asked the driver to wait for himself. As soon as he came to his god building, he was stopped by the shrine staff guarding here, "Hello, may I ask you Is it Mr. Dudian?"

Du Dean nodded.

"This is an invitation letter to you." The shrine staff handed out a letter respectfully.

Du Di'an was surprised and took two glances. No signature was written on it. He didn't open it on the spot. After entering the God Tower, he opened the letterhead and pulled out the letter paper and swept his eyes. I realized that this was inside the Thirteen Gods Castle. Letter, inviting him to participate in the Divine Seminar in March 13th. The date is three days later, and the invitation letter was sent three days in advance. Most of them also gave a buffer time to the gods, so as not to delay the God too suddenly. Technique creation.

Du Di'an collected the letter, picked up a large bag of letterhead on the ground, turned around and left, preparing to return to the old castle and then slowly read it.

...

...

Lane Castle, second floor.

Three young figures came to Fulin's study and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and it was Sandro who opened the door. In the past two years, Fulin has arranged for the middle-aged maid to the hall because of his age and inconvenience. He is personally responsible for his daily life.

"Come." Sandro smiled when he saw the three men.

The three said flatteringly: "I have seen the young patriarch."

Sandro smiled slightly and invited three people into the house.

In the study, Fulin sat on the wicker chair and looked at the three of them with a smile, saying: "Your friend, Dean has written to you and asked you to help in the past. He is short of staff now. You have been here for so long, nobleman The basic etiquette, preferences, rules, as well as various clothing brands and luxury items have all brought you to see. Now Dean needs you, and I hope you can help him."

These three were Barton, and when they heard Folin, they nodded again and again.

Fulin smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead and say hello to him on my behalf."

"Yes." Button kept promises.

The three of them left the study, went downstairs together, and took the carriage of the Lane family. In the carriage, the three of them were excited, and Barton lowered his voice: "We can finally do something with Dean."

"Well." Joseph grinned and said, "The old man lives in this noble's house and is uncomfortable. Afterwards, he will follow Dean, and we can't call him Dean anymore, so as not to hurt our old man."

"Well, let's call him Mr. Du, or young master in the future. Although we came out with him, without Dean, there would be no three of us today. Before I changed, I dare not think about it, Satin is actually used as a rag, milk is used to wash your face, and a small stone is worth hundreds of thousands of copper coins. Compared with the present, the days we lived in before were simply pig breeding.

Patton smiled and said, "You are wrong. The pigs here are much better than us. There is meat."

Joseph haha ​​smiled and said, "Dean, oh no, it should be called the young master, he said that he will take us to a great cause in the future, and now he is already a high-level god envoy of the Temple of Elements. It’s a dazzling figure like the Pearl. We really made the right choice. After following him, we will have a good life in the future."

Kluhn smiled and said, "A good day can't run away, but don't forget, why did the young master bring us over? The first is to trust us, the second is that we have a clean foundation, a small person It’s convenient to do some things. The things that the young master asked us to do a few times ago are all those things. It is estimated that it will be the same in the future.

Patton's expression was solemn, and he said seriously: "What we do is a shameful thing. If we are exposed, arrested, or die, we can't involve the young master. Without him, without us, there would be no Patton without us today!"

Joseph and Kruhn looked at each other and patted him on the shoulder, Kruhn said: "Look what you said, are we the kind of betrayal brothers?"

Patton's expression softened and said, "Of course I know you. I won't say this, but I'm almost there. Be careful and speak across the wall."

"Well." Joseph nodded. "He should be stared at by all parties now. There are probably many other consortiums outside the castle where he lives."

...

...

"Master, three people have come and said they want to see you." Nicotine enters the house and reports.

Du Di'an is opening a letterhead and casually saying, "Let them come in."

"Yes." Nicotine turned and left, folding back a moment later, followed by Barton and the others.

Du Dian stopped to see half of the letter in his hand, and looked up at the three people. After a long absence, the three had obvious changes. They were no longer shy and timid in the past. They looked elegant and well-dressed. However, at first glance, it is difficult to think of it as a "slum", but if you look closely, you can still see the defects of the three people, such as the tiny keloids on Barton's neck and neck. It was obvious changes caused by radiation. Like Kruhn, the left hand only grew to the elbow and half of the sleeves were empty, belonging to the disabled.

Du Dean knew that the nicotine next to him should have noticed this too. He looked calm and said to the three people: "It's been a long time since I've been there. Sit."

Although the three Patton knew that Du Dean was born like them, but now they see that the temperament of the latter makes the three somewhat restrained, and it is difficult to call their names as before. Patton responded and sat on the side chair. Said Du Dean: "Du...Master, what are you doing looking for us three?"

Du Dian glanced at him. He did not correct his name, but was quite satisfied. This is certainly not his vanity, but from this little thing, it can be seen that the three are indeed growing up, and their characters are more cautious. Without recklessly exposing each other's close relationship, immediately said: "Barton, do you believe in the light of the Holy See?"

Barton was stunned, and did not understand why Du Dean asked why. He glanced at the nicotine next to him, and honestly said: "Believing and doubting..."

Du Dean smiled when he heard this, and the nicotine beside him also smiled, and looked at Du Dean curiously. He saw Du Dean smiled and said: "From now on, you will believe in the Holy See."

"Ah?" Barton blinked, confused.

Du Di'an smiled and said: "I mean, you enter the light church and become a knight in the light church."

Patton stunned and said awkwardly: "Young Master, I also think about this, but they won't want me, me..."

"This is for me." Du Di'an smiled, "You are only responsible for entering the Bright Holy See, allegiance to the Bright Holy See."

Button realized it, "Master, are you going to put me in the light of the Holy See and serve you in it?"

Du Dian shook his head slightly. "You just have to do what I said. I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to the Holy See. You don't need to think about anything else. You won't know me from now on, understand?"

Barton was a bit dazed, and seemed to understand, but he didn't understand. He wanted to ask, hesitating and holding back, saying, "I know."

Du Dean nodded with satisfaction, and said to Joseph beside him: "How about you, want to be a mighty general?"

Joseph froze, stunned: "Master, do you want me to enter the army?"

"Smart." Du Dean smiled. "Like Patton, you have developed well in the military department and have forgotten me since then. You just have to think about how to be a good general."

Joseph glanced at Barton. Although he was a little dazed, he nodded, "Got it."

Du Dian looked at the last Kruhn, smiled slightly, and said: "You follow me."

Kruen was stunned, but nodded.
