Chapter 616: Bewitchment
After a while, a scorching red light flashed through the snowy mist, and the roar that had been echoing in the valley suddenly stopped.
And Befa also carried a huge head and flew towards the location of Purficott.
"Master, the head you want." Befa raised the huge head with one hand and raised it in front of Purficott.
At this moment, Purficott saw clearly that there were no eyes on this huge head, and that the so-called human face was actually a piece of white skin with strange wrinkles.
"Leave the head alone, Shay, take someone over and get the body back." Purficott did not study the head in detail. After a brief inspection to confirm that there was no possibility of resurrection, Perficott also He didn't care, and just asked Shay to pack himself up and prepare to take him away.
Although she told Befa not to beat him to death, since the head has been chopped off, Purficott doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
According to the explanation of the God of Wisdom, ancient beasts have extremely low IQs and cannot be tamed or trained at all. They can turn around and forget even after being beaten, and their memory is not as good as that of a dog.
It’s gratifying to catch someone alive with something like this, but it’s not unacceptable to catch someone dead.
Besides the one with a severed hand, there is another one that is not mutilated. It is not impossible to capture that one alive.
"Where is the other end?" Seeing Shay leading people to collect the bodies of the killed ancient beasts, Purficott asked the civilian officials of the investigation team beside him.
"In another nearby valley, there is a geothermal hot spring there, and the environment is better than here." The civilian official quickly replied, but he was persuading Purficott in his words: "Lord , you can take a rest first, that giant beast has no intention of escaping or leaving, our people are keeping a close eye on it, you..."
Perfect just said this He waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "There's no need to say that. I'm very pressed for time, but I don't have that much free time to waste time and let the airship come and take us there."
"Yes, Lord Lord." Civilian officials could not disobey Purficott's will, so they could only nod and let the people from the investigation team call the airship that had been on standby.
The airship landed, Purficott and Befa boarded the airship, and others quickly followed, leaving only a small group of people and another airship. Stay and deal with the body of the ancient beast that has been killed.
------------------- matter.
In fact, she doesn’t have many opinions about the Imperial Center of Purficott, and the disagreement with her is mainly due to different political stances.
Other than that, there are no major conflicts.
In other words, the guy who had a big conflict with Purficot had already been eliminated by her.
After all, the title of Bloody Earl Purficot is not a contemptuous title, but a title that is actually dyed with blood.
And the blood that dyed it red was not only the rioters suppressed by Perfectcott, but also the nobles who did not deal with her. This is also the key to why the empire's center treats Purficott with a very gentle attitude. It's not that they don't dare to use strong methods, but that no one wants to become the next sacrifice to prove the title of Bloody Earl.
"The earl recently left Chernobog again. This time she did not use a substitute." A noble official informed others of the latest news he had.
"That means she hasn't been gone for long, and she hasn't left the North either." Another official took off the monocle from his eye socket, took out the lens cleaning cloth and wiped it while talking about this topic Seems to be losing interest.
However, the noble official who spoke did not think so. He said in more detail: "Although this is true, the land in the north is too vast, and no one knows what kind of secrets are hidden here.
At least I heard that the Earl left Chernobog this time because someone discovered something strange."
"If you have any inappropriate thoughts, I advise you to give them up as soon as possible. "The current stability of the entire empire cannot be separated from the earl. If she breaks her skin, there will be a big earthquake in the whole northern border." After cleaning the monocle and putting it back on, another official looked serious. said.
Of course he can understand the other party's meaning. It is nothing more than creating some strange news to lure Perfectcott out of Chernobog's layers of protection, and then do something to her. to change the political landscape between the empire's center and the northern border.
Assassination is undoubtedly a very effective method, or it can be said that after capturing Purficott, she will be placed under house arrest, thereby disintegrating the political power in the north.
These are common methods used in political struggles.
Fake political struggle is about intrigues and back and forth in the political arena, while real political struggle is about smearing and spreading rumors, and physical destruction in reality.
However, the noble official shook his head and denied: "Although I did have such an idea, considering that I only have a few high knights and one or two domestic assassins, and those The elite assassin organization under the command of the Earl is just child's play compared to this, so I won't make such delusions.
What I really want to say is, aren't you interested in what kind of thing can attract that person? Will the earl personally take action?"
"You mean..." After hearing what the other party said, another official finally showed an interested expression.
Others who were listening to their conversation finally turned their attention.
“Everyone knows that the Northern Territory is vast, and in this barbaric land, even the local indigenous people have rarely set foot in its deepest parts over the past countless years.” The noble official said in a sentence The mediator spoke in a seductive tone, as if giving another speech: "Imagine, that Earl can even find the long-extinct dragon in the north and become the new generation of dragon slayers in the empire after St. George." , Aren’t you curious about what else is hidden in the North?
If we can find one or two giant dragons in the unexplored wild places in the North, tame them and present them to Her Royal Highness the Princess? If so, it should be able to strengthen Her Royal Highness Anne’s reputation and help her regain some of her decline in front of the Earl, right?”
“Although it sounds a bit whimsical, if we can really get one for Her Royal Highness the Princess, right?” The dragon's words..." Someone muttered in a low voice, expressing what others were thinking.
"It doesn't sound like we need to spend too many resources. Let's put it together and send a team of people out to explore the north. If we can find any rare and exotic beasts..." The noble official is still there Bewitching others.
