Chapter 453 The mature and wise lord
That farm is not difficult to find, because people in the city will intentionally avoid that place when they leave the city.
After briefly washing up, Ilea came there with Li Yu.
However, there was a team of guards stationed outside the farm, guarding the people inside to prevent them from running out, and not allowing outsiders to enter.
The leading captain was named Sora. He spotted the female lord and his party and came up to them.
"You said you are..."
"Ilea, the daughter of Blood-Eyed Russ, a dragon-slaying knight, and the head of the Arias family," the female lord replied.
"Dragon Slayer Knight Ilea, I have heard of your name." Sola said, "I have no doubts about your bravery, but I am afraid that you will not be able to do anything about what you are going to face this time."
"It doesn't matter, Prophet Merlin is here too." Ilea pointed to Li Yu beside him.
"Prophet?" Sola looked suspiciously up and down at the foreigner in black clothes in front of him.
"I am Merlin, the prophet of Shuangxiu Sect," Li Yu said. "I want to go in and take a look. If it is really the kind of curse I know, I may be able to lift the curse for some of them."

"This is impossible!" Sola said flatly, "Priest Herbert has already seen those people and is sure that they are all hopeless."
"This may be the case for him and the gods behind him, but it is not the case for me and my gods." Li Yu said.
"You'd better be careful what you say, foreigner." Sora warned, "The people in this land believe in Julius, the god of earth and grain, and are blessed by him. You and yours are not welcome here. The strange god behind it!”
After saying that, he looked at the female lord again, "Sir Ilea, you have a responsibility, I can't let you go any further."
Although there are not many people responsible for guarding the manor, their weapons, equipment and skills are not as good as those of the Arias family and the Black Dog Guards.
But after all, this is someone else's territory, and it's not good for a female lord to just lead people into it.
She did not embarrass the conscientious guard captain and said to Li Yu, "Let's go directly to the lord here."
Li Yu nodded, "That's fine."
After returning to the hotel, Ilea changed her clothes, asked someone to fly the rabbit flag of the Arias family, and then rushed straight to the city lord's palace.
There the two met the lord who ruled the Cornucopia - Greymane Wilder of the Singleton family.
This lord was slightly short in stature, but his appearance was extremely majestic. He had a pair of warts under his eyes, which made his eyes look particularly huge, making him look like he was glaring at everyone.
"Are you really that dragon-slaying knight Ilea?!" Wilder said word by word, "Why don't you look as powerful as the rumors say?"
Before the female lord could reply, his eyes had already moved to Li Yu on the other side.
"What about you, who are you? Why are you wearing such strange clothes?"
Next to him, an old man with a skinny face, wearing brown clothes and with wheat ears embroidered on his chest, said something in his ear.
"Double holiday church? What kind of church is that? I remember that the nobles in the Western Region don't all believe in Pisiya, the goddess of the silver moon?" Wilder frowned.
"I converted to Saturday half a year ago, Sir Wilder."
"Calling me Graymane, does that mean you have betrayed your family's centuries-old faith?"
"Because I have found a god more worthy of following."
"On Saturday, Julius is the more worthy god to believe in," Wilder snorted contemptuously.
"Since we believe in it, we have had more and more good harvests, right, Priest Herbet."
"That's right, sir." The old man named Herbert bowed.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this kind of thing. Since you have arrived at the Corner of Plenty, I need to entertain you well according to the etiquette among nobles. I have already asked people to prepare a lunch so that you can see the richness of my territory with your own eyes. ”
"Wilder, oh no... Lord Greymane, we are actually here to ask for something." Miss Rabbit had to interrupt Wilder's soliloquy.
"What's going on?" The latter huffed a few times and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at his feet.
"We would like to visit one of your farms."
"Farm?" Wilder was a little puzzled, "The winter wheat has been harvested, and you can't see it even if you go now..."
"The farm where you imprisoned the Cursed."
After Ilea said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly suffocated, and then she saw Wilder's face on the main seat turned red, like a piece of pig liver.
The city lord of Cornucopia roared, "I treat you as guests, let's see how you repay me! Unceremonious, barbaric and primitive, that's what they all said about those Western barbarians, and it's absolutely true!!!"
< br>
Hurlbut on the side patted Wilder's back to help the city lord calm down, and at the same time turned to Ilea and Li Yu.
"Sir Wilder has lost two sons because of that terrible curse, and he personally sent his granddaughter there just two days ago. You shouldn't mention this in front of him. ”
"Donia, my poor granddaughter!" Gray Mane howled, and then started to cry loudly.
It was hard to imagine that a nobleman, and also a city lord, would burst into tears in front of his guests. Seeing Gray Mane crying so sadly, the female lord's anger at being offended by his rude behavior disappeared a lot.
He said again, "Don't worry, we are here to help you."
"It's just you who help me? You strangers know nothing about what's happening in this land."
"I have seen similar curses before." Li Yu said.
"This is impossible," Herbert shook his head. "This is Julius's test for us. If you don't want to participate in the next luncheon, you should leave here immediately."
"You should at least let us try. The Prophet Merlin is very good at removing curses," Ilea shouted to Wilder, "He can even bring people back to life."
"That's just a trick of foreigners. No one can bring the dead back to life except God." Hurlbut said.
"Let this poor man take a break, even if it's just a moment of peace. Don't use those sweet words to give him vain hope and then take that hope away. He can no longer bear such a blow."
"Do you really want to give up at this time?" After hearing this, Ilea not only did not leave, but took a step forward, "Think about Doniya, think about other people in this city, you still have a chance. Save them.”
"This is just the nonsense of pagans..."
"That's enough!" Hui Mane yelled, interrupting everyone, and then he looked at Li Yu.
"You are very good at rhetoric. I guess this is why the little girl of the Arias family is bewitched by you, but I am different. I am a mature and wise lord, and my faith is strong enough."
Li Yu didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand, hooked his fingers, and let the wine glass in front of Wilder fly into his hand. (End of chapter)
