Dust of History Chapter 17: Start end (bottom)

The sun sets, throwing the plateau's evening golden splendor over the city below. Asa finally returned to Oufu.

Asa looked at the buildings and streets below. This city has expanded more than ten times in size than when I first came here, and it is almost the same size as the capital of the empire. The flames and thick smoke from the workshop street, the noise below can be heard in the air, and there is vitality and vitality everywhere. New buildings under construction can be seen everywhere on the edge of the city and in the streets. The city is slowly wriggling like a huge creature. Always changing and growing.

Those well-proportioned streets are blood vessels, and the orcs who are constantly busy running in them are blood. And the heart is undoubtedly the new city hall in the center of the city. The huge and conspicuous volume can be seen from the sky at a glance, and the people and orcs coming in and out from all directions bring vitality and vitality out of here, spreading to every corner of the city.

Although most of the buildings in Oufu are still rough houses made of boulders, occasionally there are more exquisite workmanship and unique ones. This is the case with this new town hall. The huge volume is comparable to any buildings in other parts of the mainland. It is still all built of stone materials, but the details are no longer so rough. The simple and clear architectural lines, and occasional simple but magnificent and unrestrained patterns on the flat outer wall, coupled with the huge volume and rough materials, exude an aura that matches the city.

In front of the city hall, the three huge stone tablets engraved with laws and the gallows still stand with a unique temperament, and together with the city hall, they expound the unique style and majesty of the city.

Asa knows that he will stay here for at least a year. From a certain point of view, this will be his temporary country and place. Regardless of whether it was the Karondo Basin or the imperial capital, relatively speaking, he preferred this rough and vibrant city, where there was no depression, no sadness, and no political conspiracies. Although returning here is to fulfill my promise, which can be regarded as a task, but instead I feel a sense of relief.

The Wyvern hovered over the city hall for a few weeks, howled three times, making sure that the people below would report the situation to the city lord, and then flew out of the city. Asa is still the most wanted criminal on the mainland, so naturally he can't land in a big way.

On the edge of Oufu, the Wyvern flapped its wings and landed on the flattened mountain peak. After a while, two fast horses galloped out of Oufu and headed straight for here.

When Mr. Borugan's big head just emerged from the edge of the mountain, he looked at Asa and shouted: "Okay. It seems that our venture capital was not wasted, and you finally came back. "

Asa looked at him and smiled: "Because I never like to owe favors to others. And besides this, I can't think of any place to go for the time being."

"Oh. Wasn't it because General Gelu escorted you that you didn't run away?" The short man flipped over deftly and climbed to the top of the mountain.

"Absolutely not." Asa smiled bitterly. If he really ran away from Gru without making a sound, then the happiest person might be the three necromancers who somehow tracked him down.

"Okay. Haha." Lord Borugan pointed at him and shouted. "One year from now, your head worth five thousand gold coins is worth about thirteen gold coins, sixty-nine silver coins, and eighty-six copper coins per day. It is worth about fifty-seven silver coins per hour, even the time spent sleeping and **** All counted, it is definitely the most expensive mercenary in the mainland. Please remember your worth, and you must work for us with a commensurate quality."

Asa smiled, he likes this dwarf's outspoken character very much. He smiled and asked: "You won't arrest me on the last day, and then sell it for five thousand gold coins?"

"Don't worry." Gru said lightly. "That guy named Roland will never pay this bill. Because he also knows that you are not worth the price. Even if someone really takes you to receive the reward in the future, he and your prime minister lover will definitely Find a way to renege on the debt and help you escape."

The lord of Sedros came up the hill. He still walks briskly, with a straight waist, capable and capable, not at all weaker than the expression of a young man. The golden sunset dyed his beard and hair red and yellow, as if he was more energetic. He looked at Asa and Gru and smiled: "You are finally back. I think you will be able to bring me some good news. How is the Ainfast Empire going?"

Listening to Asa's narration, the expression of the Lord Cedros also fluctuated. Although he had guessed all kinds of variables, he never expected that things would develop like this. The turning point of the situation was so great, not only the situation changed instantly, the culprit was appointed as the leader, but even the arrangements for the funeral were made in place so quickly.

"I'm getting old." Sedros shook his head with a wry smile. Although he said so, the look on his face remained undiminished. "If you were really stopped by me at that time, then for the first time in my life, I really want to sell regret medicine."

Asa smiled and said: "You have your own considerations. It is not wrong to be cautious. It is a judgment you made after considering all the factors. And I insist on going, but it is actually just reckless willfulness. "

"What a self-willed person who doesn't care about his strength." Borugan-sama seemed to want to pat Asa's shoulder, but he couldn't reach his vest, so he patted him hard. "I just want to help you, a wayward boy, so I tried my best to persuade the city lord and General Gelu to help him. In fact, I also know that this plan is very risky from the perspective of rational analysis of the balance of interests."

Cedros chuckled: "You know the risk and still make such a suggestion. As my assistant and staff, you are negligent of your duty."

Borugan-sama nodded. Fortunately, his neck was thick and short enough to support the swaying of the big head above. He said: "Fortunately, the consequences of this dereliction of duty are really good. The Duke died, the empire did not fall into turmoil after all, and your lover got the position of prime minister. Everything is ideal." He looked at Asa hehe smile. "But except for your crime and blame."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't care too much about it." Asa looked towards the east where the empire was, and sighed. There are already stars in the sky there. Under that sky, there are too many things he got rid of and abandoned. He nodded and murmured, "That's right. It's all over there."

"Right," said Gru. "We met three flies on the way back..."

"Flies?" Sedros was taken aback.

Asa smiled and said: "It's just a little trouble, and we have already driven it away."

When listening to Asa's Gru's narration, Sedros' originally relaxed face completely dimmed, replaced by incomparably dignified and worried. He shook his head slowly and said, "No, that will never be a small trouble."

"It turned out to be a big trouble." Lord Borugan.

"You mean that the Necromancer Guild will come to take revenge?" Asa nodded. "A group of top magicians seems to be really troublesome."

"I really hope they are just magicians." Sedros smiled wryly and continued to shake his head. "The next thing cannot be summed up by the word 'trouble' at all. It is a problem, and it is the biggest problem." He looked to the south, sighed and said, "This problem is to be faced sooner or later. Yes, it seems that it is going to start early."

"I just hope we can be faster than them." Gru said lightly.

Sedros nodded and looked at Euph in the setting sun below. The vitality of this golden city is so beautiful, so magnificent. The next question is whether it can continue to exist.

In the meeting room of Di Yagu. The two necromancers recounted the battle to the acting guildmaster. The skull mask has been removed, revealing the faces of Bishop Adela and Master Aiden.

Although this is already the sacred Diya Valley. Necromancers are an absolute paradise and home, but when Adela carefully recalled the situation of the day because of the narration, she still couldn't erase the feeling of fear. The overwhelming power gap and the fear of facing death, for him who has always been confident and even proud, are the terrors that are branded into his soul.

The Marquis closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened them and sighed: "That's too careless. In fact, as long as you keep a distance of more than 100 meters from them, two people cover, and one person uses the big spell with all his strength If not, they have absolutely no room to struggle."

Both Adela and Master Aiden nodded slightly. Indeed. No matter how powerful that person is, he is a person after all. If you use this kind of tactic that fully exploits your own advantages from the beginning, maybe this battle will be very easy at all. But maybe the things that were easy to get at first turned out to be disheartened, and the faces of both of them were not very good-looking.

"I'm sorry. This is my responsibility. For the failure of this operation and the death of the respected Nimbus, I, the acting guild leader, have no shirkable responsibility." The Marquis looked downcast and bowed his head.

The two were startled, it seemed that he couldn't be blamed for this matter anyway.

"As the acting guild leader, before the three respected members went to act, I didn't investigate each other's information in detail, and I didn't make appropriate suggestions to you. This is my negligence." The Marquis said to the two undead The mage bent down, and apologized in a tone of utter apology and self-blame, as if he had indeed done something very wrong. "Sorry."

"The respected Nimbas is dead now. This is a great loss to the guild. Apart from him, the only people who can use the puppet Hawkeye are Vidnina and Teacher Shante. Vader Ms. Nina is impossible... and Mr. Shante's health is too poor, we really can't put more burden on him to make eagle-eyed puppets. So I decided that I will study puppet eagle-eye in the future."

"This... seems not suitable for you." Adela hesitated. Puppet Eagle Eye is undoubtedly a very useful spell. But it is extremely difficult to master this magic. If it is not for the peak of magic attainments and talents, it will have a negative impact on the magician's own magic level. It was because of this magic that Nimbas became the weakest one in the guild. There are so many talents in the guild, it seems that there is really no need for the acting guild head to do this job.

"No, this is what I should do." But the young acting guildmaster insisted.

Adela nodded, and looked at the Marquis with more approval and admiration.

Master Aiden also nodded indifferently, but the light in his eyes was a little different from Adela's.

If there is only one person in the guild who has the Puppet Eagle Eye, then this person is undoubtedly the only eye of the guild. He can let everyone see some things, and he can also make everyone invisible. Although he felt a little doubtful and uncomfortable, Master Aiden knew that no one in the guild was willing to take the initiative to learn this spell, and it was even more impossible for him.

Master Aiden opened his mouth and said coldly to the Marquis: "This man has already killed the two members of Asri and Nimbasi. This is an unprecedented shame in the history of Diya Valley. I want to ask you , what do you plan to do in the future?"

The Marquis sighed and said: "People who can threaten the lives of our noble members will naturally be killed."

"So what are you going to do?"

"Three people still can't kill him, then go to four people." Adela took a deep breath, the originally kind and beautiful face has been agitated, and the eyes are as gentle as the Virgin Mary There was a fierce light in it. He spoke slowly, word by word. "I must kill this guy with my own hands."

"Why?" the Marquis looked at him and asked.

"Because this is the enemy of the guild and the only one who can threaten us. Naturally, he must not be let go."

"No, that's because you're afraid." The Marquis' voice was very gentle and fair, and even the most sensitive people would not think there was any irony in it. "You found a person who was far stronger than you. He not only destroyed your self-confidence, but also made you deeply feel the terror of death, so you used anger to cover up your fear, and wanted to defeat him by killing him yourself. own fear."

Adela said nothing. Because he was hit, his eyes were a little relaxed, but also a little confused.

The Marquis continued: "Compared with wild beasts, human beings have neither a strong physique nor sharp claws, and even those who see those beasts will tremble with fear. But it is human beings who rule the world. You say that human beings are strong, Or is the beast stronger?"

Adela thought for a while and nodded, probably understanding what the Marquis meant.

"No one is not afraid. The real strong is not a fearless ignorant, but knows how to deal with his own weaknesses. Our organization is the most noble, powerful and powerful organization on the continent. Every member is the most elegant and noble, and they are all people who stand at the top of this world. Why should we spend unnecessary energy and energy, risking our lives to compete with a wild beast and whose claws are sharper? , who is more barbaric? You know, our strength is not manifested in direct violence." The Marquis smiled slightly, and his relaxed smile was full of faint and irrefutable confidence.

Following the Marquis' words, Adela nodded, his expression completely calmed down, and confidence appeared on his face again. He smiled and nodded to the Marquis: "Thank you. I understand."

"Then how do you plan to deal with this person." Master Aiden asked lightly.

"In front of our plan, he is just a small sesame seed. Killing him is just a matter of effort, just do it easily. You don't need to think about it deliberately." The Marquis replied lightly. He walked to the conference table and pointed to a sand table on the table for the two of them to see. The sand table shows the miniature terrain of the wild highland, and the city of Oufu is just a small building block-like protrusion on it. "Actually, I have been researching that orc city during this time. I found that it is an area that is difficult for our forces to reach and control. There is no religion, power and wealth have not yet been worshiped, and the vitality of development and creation is full. There, so we have nowhere to start. But relative to its development speed and potential, its influence is too big.”

"I don't think everyone will forget that the leader of this place is Cedros, one of the few people on the continent who is qualified to be on an equal footing with our extraordinary members. And he is the old man of Ronis My friend, my attitude towards us has never been very friendly. If this city is really allowed to develop into a country of unusually large scale and strength under his leadership, it will be enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the situation of the entire continent. A completely The huge power that cannot be controlled by us is the real threat to us. So I have a suggestion..." The Marquis stretched out his hand and lightly pressed on the Peugeot representing Oufu on the sand table. "Erasure it from this continent." He retracted his fingers, and the model of Oufu had been turned into dust and scattered on the wasteland model.

"Of course, the murderer who killed our two members will naturally be dealt with. His threat to us can be seen as a projection of the real threat that the orc city-state poses to us. But no matter how powerful a person is, , it is only a drop in the ocean in wars between countries, at most it will stir up a small wave, and in the end it will only be submerged in the turbulent waves.”

"I see, my vision is really too short-sighted." Adela nodded in admiration. "I agree with your proposal with both hands."

"I will immediately send out a notice to all members to put forward my suggestion ~IndoMTL.com~ If everyone agrees, please work hard in your respective fields and cooperate with each other. I believe that in our real Everything is vulnerable to power."

Adela nodded and smiled. His smile is so confident and beautiful again, full of the brilliance of the sun and the softness of the moonlight. "Yes. Hehe. I am looking forward to the spectacular sight of hundreds of thousands of troops besieging that savage orc lair."

The Marquis looked at Master Aiden. "I don't know what you think of my suggestion, Master Aiden."

"Okay. That's it." Master Aiden glanced at the Marquis and Bishop Adela indifferently.

"As for the wanted criminal kid with five thousand gold coins on his back? It seems that he got mixed up with that orc city-state. Shall we let the news out, so as to give Old Cedros a scapegoat? .”

"This kind of unsubstantiated news will not be of much use. Probably even the Ainfast Empire will help him solve it." The Marquis sighed and said, "For the kid's vitality I am really surprised by his tenacity and good luck. But there is no need to worry too much, no matter where he hides in the orc city-state or anywhere, he will not escape our palms."
