062 The storm is coming
Liang Lidong snorted coldly, and directly hit the stalker's abdomen with one knee, who snorted in pain, and then curled up on the ground, gulping for stomach acid. When he was almost vomited, Liang Lidong squatted down, put the dark element energy ball in his hand in front of the man's forehead, and said coldly: "Last chance, I am a spellcaster, I can tell if a person is lying." I don't want to do anything to ordinary people, but if you're still obsessed, killing a ruffian isn't a special thing for me. ”
The dark elemental ball exuded a biting chill, and with Liang Lidong's cold face, the man's spirit finally collapsed, and he shouted: "Don't, please, don't play with my soul, I've done it all." He gasped, hugged his head, and said, "Lord Charles asked me to follow you, just half an hour ago." ”
Liang Lidong asked, "Who is Charles!" ”
"He's the priest of the Temple of Life!"
knocked the man unconscious with a punch, and Liang Lidong walked out of the alley. Half an hour ago, the Temple of Life sent someone to follow him, but it had not been two hours since he arrived at the castle, which was not normal...... Liang Lidong suspected that there were ghosts in the castle, and his position was not low, so he should know most of Uther's arrangements. In fact, it is also reasonable to think about it, the shrine and religion are widely accepted in this world, and it is not strange that there are people in Uther's forces who believe in the goddess of life, and such people are easy to rebel.
Liang Lidong returned to the castle, and this time no one followed him along the way. No sooner had he returned to the main hall of the castle than he bumped into Uther, who had come down from the upper floor.
Seeming to be a little dissatisfied, Uther said lightly: "Your Excellency Beta, please let me know before you go out next time, and I will send some soldiers to protect you." If the caster doesn't have a 'shield', it's easy for them to get into trouble, and you, as a seasoned mercenary, should know that. ”
Liang Lidong's knowledge of melee swordsmanship, in fact, Bausel knew, he heard about it from Fencera, and Fencera heard Kyle talk about it. It's just that he didn't think too strongly of Liang Lidong's melee swordsmanship, probably above the level of ordinary people, not to the level of a skilled swordsman. But his idea is actually wrong, Liang Lidong's melee swordsmanship ability is indeed not extremely strong, but it depends on who he is competing with...... In the game, there are countless physical professions that specialize in melee attacks, players like to go to extremes, and most of the melee professionals are full of '10' physical growth, and there are many melee specialties, Liang Lidong, a half-hung composite professional, compares swordsmanship with them, of course, he can only barely protect himself.
But the problem is that NPCs, as well as professionals in the real world, there are not many people among them who are born to grow up physically, and the other is that they may not be able to learn a specialty that can perfectly fit their profession, if you talk purely about swordsmanship, there are indeed people in this world who are more powerful than Liang Lidong, and the number seems to be quite many, but once it is averaged, it seems to be very few. Perhaps among a hundred melee professionals, there may not be a single person who can be more skilled in swordsmanship than him.
Because he didn't know Liang Lidong's ability, it was normal for Uther to be worried and dissatisfied.
Liang Lidong didn't feel insulted because of this, and he explained with a smile: "I just went out to investigate something, and then I was followed. ”
"Tracking?" Uther's expression changed: "What's the matter?" ”
"I subdued my followers, and then tortured the messenger to be Charles of the Temple of Life." Liang Lidong looked around, and then said, "It's not unusual for the Temple of Life to send people to follow me, it's strange that not long after I went out, they stuck to me. And I have been at the castle for less than three hours, how do the people of the Temple of Life know about my existence? So I suspect someone has revealed my information. ”
"I see." Uther's face changed, and then he said, "It's almost lunchtime, Lord Beta, please go back to your room and wait for a while, and when it's time for dinner, I'll send someone to invite you." ”
Liang Lidong nodded and walked up the stairs, while Uther walked out of the main hall with a gloomy face...... There are many stupid people in this world, and there are many smart people. Liang Lidong only nodded slightly, and Uther knew that there should be a mole inside him. Generally, the big family has a unique method of investigating the internal traitor, and Liang Lidong estimates that it will not be long before Uther can find out the internal ghost.
After returning to the bedroom on the seventh floor, Liang Lidong took a break, and it didn't take long for the maid to come over and invite him downstairs for dinner. When he went down to the fourth floor, he met Rex, who was with his guards, and when he saw Liang Lidong, he snorted disdainfully, and then went down the stairs first with a sense of resentment.
When he arrived at the main hall, Liang Lidong found that everyone had arrived, and he sat at the end. This position is not very good, either in a physical sense or in a spiritual sense
, nobles with heads and faces will not sit down, but Liang Lidong is different, although he uses his identity as a 'god noble', he does not have much sense of identity with the aristocracy, so the front of the position is not important to him.
The most conspicuous thing in the audience was Fence La, who was holding a black cat with a crescent moon on her forehead and smiling very happily.
Turned a house cat into a pet? Liang Lidong felt a looming spiritual power from the black cat. is also a feline, compared with leopards, and tigers, domestic cats are much worse in attack power, but on the other hand, domestic cats, small cats, once they become magic pets, have more professional abilities in stealth and anti-stealth, almost comparable to assassins of the same level.
Besides, domestic cat demon pets are not without combat ability, even if they are small, they are also magic pets, and if any profession of the same level is scratched by this small thing on the vital part, it will not be too comfortable.
Seeing Liang Lidong, he smiled at him and silently expressed his gratitude.
Liang Lidong bowed to her, and then looked at the young woman beside her. This woman was wearing a lilac dress, very similar to Fence Pull, Liang Lidong had seen her once half a year ago, and knew that she was Fence Pull's mother, the city lord of Winter Wind City's wife. This young woman has a very good figure, and there is a faint heroic spirit, Liang Lidong guessed that she is either a warrior or a cavalryman, anyway, it is definitely a physical profession in the melee department.
After a slight glance at the City Lord's Wife, Liang Lidong lowered his gaze on the table, and then his lips twitched slightly...... There were several servings of stargazing on the table, and then several servings of mashed potatoes and fish mixed with honey. Liang Lidong had no appetite when he saw the first two foods, especially the few dead fish looking up at the starry sky, and honey bread was barely regarded as a food that could be swallowed.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Uther raised his glass: "I feel that everyone trusts us in the Longman family and is here as a guest." Although it is true that there are some difficulties at the moment, as long as we hold on for another three months, the victory will definitely be ours. Cheers to a bright future in the future! ”
Several people raised their glasses from afar, and then drank them all. This meal, the main bingbing, at least on the surface, how Liang Lidong in private is not clear. After lunch, Liang Lidong was about to go to rest, when Uther said, "Your Excellency, please come with me." ”
In the study, there were only two people. Uther invited the other party to sit down, and then said: "Your Excellency Beta, thank you for the reminder, we have found out the mole, there are six people, one of them is the adjutant I trusted very much before. I would like to invite you here this time to explain this matter, and secondly, I would like to ask, what is your view on the current situation? ”
"Just like you, city lord, wait!"
Uther smiled bitterly: "It can only be like this, it's really embarrassing, if it was an enemy country, I would have led a large army to press up, why bother so hard." ”
Uther has a heavy army, and in terms of real combat effectiveness, the City Lord's Mansion is actually much stronger than the Temple of Life. The problem is that the Temple of Life is not considered an 'enemy', at least on the surface. The battle for gold mines, to put it bluntly, is a conflict of interests, the two sides can be assassinated, poisoned, can be economic warfare, etc., that is, they cannot carry out large-scale battles on the surface, and they cannot use the army, otherwise even if they win, they will be found by other nobles because they have broken the rules, and they will be exterminated by other nobles and united armies.
Moreover, the Temple of Life is not unique to Winterwind City, it is one of the religious beliefs spread across the entire continent, and if Uther violates the rules of the battle on the surface, the Temple of Life will definitely launch a holy war and raze Winterwind City.
Liang Lidong said with a smile: "Don't be depressed, in the same way, the Temple of Life has no way to start a holy war, which is a good thing for us." ”
"A good thing indeed!" Uther was a little helpless, but he quickly perked up: "I will go to the gold mine with my wife to check the situation in a while, I am afraid that there will be assassins ambushing us, so I want to ask your Excellency a favor and set off with us." You know how to fight assassins, and you know how to do it. Later, I hope you can protect my wife, although she is a cavalryman and has good ability, she is still very lacking in combat experience and needs to be accumulated. ”
"Okay, no problem. I happened to be going to the gold mine to check it out. Liang Lidong stood up and was about to go out, but suddenly turned his head and asked, "City Lord, you and the City Lord's wife are both very young, why don't you want to have one more child, maybe it will be a boy." ”
Uther replied, "If it were so easy, I would have had a few more." Anyway, after Kyle and Fencera get married, their first boy must be from the Longman family, and I'm not worried that the family doesn't have an heir. ”
