"Who told you that there are only 'two of us'?"
The half-elf man looked at Idong jokingly, and the curve of his mouth gradually became unscrupulous.
"What did you say..."
Because he is possessed by 'Lengjian Luca', who has an arrogant and impulsive personality but is not very good at using his brain, his thoughts are slightly affected. Yidong's eyes widened in surprise, and then he saw the round old man from before walking cheerfully from behind carrying a war hammer, followed by a priest who looked to be in his forties and wore a light green robe. The orc aunt in robe.
At the same time, accompanied by a chaotic and orderly climbing sound, a large number of crossbowmen wearing brown leather armor and with cold eyes appeared on the surrounding roofs. There was a sonorous sound, and Idong and the bad hot girl who were surrounded by hundreds of crossbows were already within the attack range.
"Can't beat it, absolutely can't beat it."
Idong muttered in a low voice, and then the blue fire in his eyes dimmed, and the rusty long knife in his hand also lost its edge. , like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
The girl behind her moved behind Idong after a brief silence, looking timid and trembling.
"Uh-"
After the fire in his eyes completely dissipated, Idong gritted his teeth and glared at the rusty knife in his hand, and then violently 'clasp it to pieces' It turned into a weather-beaten tablet, and while putting it in his luggage, he complained in a low voice: "What kind of disease did I have before? Even this stupid thing has to be the same."
The bad hot girl stood on tiptoes and asked softly in Yi Dong's ear: "Now... what should we do?"
"Let's wait and see first."
Idong moved his body in a gentlemanly manner, allowing the girl to hold him with both hands instead of leaning against him. He narrowed his eyes and looked around at the increasingly lively scene around him, and lowered his voice and said: " Although it's a bit of an afterthought, I think it might not be that simple."
The bad girl raised her lips slightly from an angle that Yi Dong couldn't see, and nodded meekly: "Okay, I believe you. Will protect me.”
“To be honest, I really don’t have much confidence in myself.”
Yidong smiled bitterly, then raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of the half-elf man in front of him, and said seriously: "What about that, do you still need a handyman here? I am a thief in cleaning."
"Pfft——"
The afro-headed female mage who was drinking magic potion to calm down her shock directly sprayed out a large mouthful of potion worth at least five gold coins, and coughed out of breath.
“Ward scolds you!”
The orc priestess with a thick accent took a breath of cold air.
"Good guy."
The old man who finally crushed two ghost beasts smacked his lips and sighed: "We wish we had all been enemies like this when we fought in those years."
The half-elf man, who was stronger in status and strength, looked at Idong with a smile, and said with a subtle expression: "Even if you can't see the expression, you can't hear the heartbeat. , I also have a hundred ways to judge whether the other party is lying. You actually just want us to let the girl go, right?"
Yidong nodded calmly and replied: "That's right. If possible, I would also like to meet your Excellency the Duke."
"Oh, you are quite a bachelor."
Some familiar laughter sounded from not far away. Yidong turned around and saw that the man in black armor who had first welcomed him in at the door was walking towards this side with a toothpick in his mouth, picking his teeth happily. Asked: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Mr. Yi Dong He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the scarred man with a wry smile as he walked slowly in front of the half-elf man. He felt very refreshed, and said with a dry smile: "So you are the 'Bully Duke' Valatis?"
"To be precise, it should be 'Varatis France Duke Brooke."
The man corrected him in a brisk tone, then turned to look at the round old man cheerfully, and said with a sly smile: "As for this old Mr. Fore. , is the 'Bully Duke' in your mouth, even though he Not named Valatis, and not a Duke."
The old man known as Fore laughed, rubbed his red rosacea and said happily: "But seriously, think of this 'Bully Duke. 'It's really not as comfortable as when I was a cook."
"You still have the nerve to say that?"
The orc aunt next to him kicked him angrily and rolled her eyes: "Which cook would go out with a frying spoon to hit people as long as the battle situation is a little more anxious? At that time, everyone was afraid of eating the brains of some unlucky person."
Fol coughed slightly and said sarcastically: "I didn't use a hammer later. "..."
"But you are a fucking cook!"
The orc aunt gave the old man a slap in the face angrily, gritted her teeth and cursed: "I scold you because I want to treat you well!" Cooking in the rear, why don’t you change the guy and continue to smash the enemy’s head?”
"Haha, okay, okay, Sister Reya, please don't interrupt. Our guests are still confused without looking at us."
Scarface wearing black armor, who calls himself Duke Volatis The middle-aged man chuckled and asked Yi Dong and the bad girl: "What else do you want to know?"
Although he is not as smart as Mo Tan, but he is definitely not stupid, Yi Dong smacked his lips. Asked: "There are too many things I want to know. If you don't mind, let me first tell you why the reputation of 'Bully Duke' is so... uh..."
"So unpleasant?"
Varatis interrupted Yidong cheerfully, and then he sat cross-legged on the ground and said in a particularly slovenly manner: "It's simple, because I had people publicize those rumors."
Yidong, who had expected this, nodded and asked: "What's the reason?"
"There are too many reasons, but the most important thing is that he wants me to be the emperor. Good fellow, please save yourself the trouble."
Varatis shrugged and spread his hands: "After all, the influence of the two names 'Varatis' and [Steel Blood Army] is a bit too great. , ever since I joined the army, whether it’s the rebels, the invaders, or even the damn monsters that came out of the mountains, I and my brothers have to deal with it, and my reputation has also been rising. To be honest, if I were the emperor Yes, I am worried about having such an uncontrollable army with a reputation that is almost greater than my own."
Idong nodded slightly and summed up concisely: "The success is impressive."
< br>“Yes, that’s what it means, great achievements will shock the master.”
Valatis nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "But actually our emperor doesn't think I am a threat. After all, he was a hypocrite who worshiped me back then. Everyone knows the other's temper, so he never planned to He attacked me just because he didn't have an idea. It doesn't mean that others don't have an idea either. It's easy to say that those with ulterior motives have their motives after all. It doesn't matter if they are put there, but I can't let that bastard ruler who can't even listen to good words, right?" Idong frowned and speculated: "So in order not to make things difficult for the emperor, Just after retiring from military service, you have been working hard to ruin your reputation just to reduce your prestige and influence?"
"Yes, anyway, my wife died in the war long ago, and she didn't leave me a son or daughter. What's the use of fame?"
Varatis grinned and said cheerfully : "Now the country has just stabilized, and the world is still not peaceful. With a beast like the old lecherous bully Duke here, the girls don't even dare to go out at night. The probability of accidents will be much smaller. As for men, just leave it like this. If there is no one else outside, I’m afraid I won’t even have a place to drink at night.”
Yidong was stunned. After a moment, he said curiously: "You don't go to a fixed time and a fixed place every time you go out... Oh!!"
"Haha, did you react?"
Seeing Idong's expression of surprise, Valatis immediately laughed triumphantly and said happily: "That's it, because I have really seen Valatis. There are many people in Latis, and most of them are where the imperial capital is. In the east, I asked someone specifically to use this city in the west of the empire as the center of my territory. Then, considering that my tall and majestic image was not suitable for playing a villain, I asked a fat chef to help me. Playing the role of 'Bully Duke', by the way, The 'internal agent' who often informs the people in the city is actually me."
Yidong twitched his lips and said dryly: "That's okay..."
" This is great, everyone likes me very much now anyway, nothing else Not to mention, I don’t need to pay for drinking now.”
Varatis grinned proudly, raised his eyebrows and said, “I’ve said so much, please briefly introduce yourself. How is it? Brother Immortal.”
"I'm just a necromancer with upright views."
Idong, who had already realized that he had been tricked by the system mission, sighed and said casually: "Some time ago, I was beaten by those indiscriminate people from the Sun Sect. The indiscriminate priests were chasing him, and they came here as fast as they could. Then they heard that there was a wicked and evil tyrant Duke in the city, so he wanted to do justice for God and eliminate harm for the people, but he was forced into the city instead. We are in a desperate situation. Oh, by the way, this girl is a local who was kept in the dark by you. She was semi-coerced by me."
Varatis laughed, spread his hands and said: "Tsk, tsk, Is the road rough? I guess so, but brother, you are still a bit foolhardy. I am also a duke. Even if it is really the 'bully' in the rumors, my strength has regressed to a high level as in the rumors. Not someone like you who is alone can kill you. Apart from other things, the bastards around you who only know how to fight and kill and rely on me to make a living cannot be easily dismissed. "
The half-elf man smiled at Idong, leaned over and saluted: "Hello, I am the scout captain of the [Steel Blood Army], Lampard."
Up. The dwarf female mage with an afro lazily performed a military salute: "Second seat of the [Steel Blood Army] Spell Choir, Didier."
The fake Duke, who had a round figure and rosacea, stroked his beard and showed a friendly smile that chose people to eat: "The person in charge of the [Steel-blooded Army] cooking class, Ful Drake."
The orc aunt beside him smacked her lips and said carelessly. Said: "Belonging to the Abundance Sect, Patriarch of the [Steel Blood Army], Reya Hodel."
"How should I put it..."
Idong scratched his hair and relaxed. After taking a breath, he sighed: "Although I don't understand it very well, I always feel that your fashion value is very high. Ah."
Although he didn't understand what 'fashion value' was, Duke Valatis just smiled and didn't ask for details. He just changed the topic casually: "In short, everything looks like today. It was just a misunderstanding. Logically speaking, I should It's time to let you go, but brother, your status as a 'Necromancer' is still a bit special after all, so for the safety of the people, I'm afraid I have to ask you and your lady to stay here for a while first. A brief investigation by my 'former' scout captain."
Hearing this, Yi Dong immediately thought quickly in his mind, and soon realized that this might be a good opportunity to seize the advantage, so he smiled and said: "Of course, no problem, as long as I don't have to pay for the food myself." . ”
“Haha, don’t worry, no one will be hungry with Old Ful here, he can even fry the bark until it’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. ”
Walati. Seeing that Yi Dong agreed so happily, Si raised his hand generously and asked the crossbowmen to retreat.
“Oh, by the way.”
Idong suddenly slapped his head and asked curiously: “Why didn’t you see the warlock?”
"Warlock?"
Varatis blinked in confusion and asked: "What warlock?"
"The one who summoned hellfire to kill my two undead creatures before. The warlock who 'saved' her"
Idong pointed at the bad girl behind him and sighed: "Careful. If you think about it, that person probably thought Miss Juana was being kidnapped and acted righteously."
Duke Valatis suddenly frowned and said softly: "Although I can understand what you are saying. , but the problem is... there are no 'warlocks' among the old subordinates who come here to work for me."
【! ? 】
Yidong's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he turned around suddenly to look at someone who had been silent since just now, and quickly reached for the black tablet on the inside of his clothes with his right hand.
But his movements were still half a beat slow.
Poof--! ! !
With a tearing sound that made one's teeth sore, a miserable green trident burning with blazing evil flames instantly penetrated Idong's chest, and evil fire filled with corrosive aura rose into the sky. Mercilessly burning the decaying body of the Eternals that cannot be triggered to cause fatal damage.
Duke Volatis and his friends were all stunned, and then subconsciously wanted to rush forward to save this necromancer who seemed to have no evil intentions.
However...
"Don't come here!"
The girl holding the murder weapon stopped several people without looking back, and there were even a few long-term thoughts in her eyes. The fierce men who have been on the battlefield are all trembling. If there is any real bitter resentment -
"This scumbag bitch cheated on my feelings! I must end it with him today!"
