136 The old man returned
It's no wonder that Terre is proud, the strongest spearman in the human world, and the lancers are the head of their Zell family.
The head of the Zell family is not only strong, but also a good hand in internal affairs, in the case of military conflicts with the country of Uribuda from time to time, Glinton-Zell can not only lead his subordinates to repel the enemy army again and again, and even have the leisure to develop internal affairs, it only took more than two hundred years to develop the city of Tonggu into a large city, and also established a huge rock checkpoint at the pass, so that Uribuda could not attack the country of Kholaiven for more than 100 years.
In addition, as he grew older, the advantages of the half-elf gradually appeared, and Glinton became stronger and stronger, and his lifespan became longer and longer. After he became a master lancer, there were not many people who dared to be disrespectful in front of him.
A master who is about to become a legend...... It is the confidence of the Zell family.
This kind of confidence makes the people of the Zell family extremely proud, not only Alice has been raised to be a 'tsundere', but even other clansmen are looking at people with their nostrils.
The prestige of the Zell family, others may be afraid of it, but players will not, they even dare to kill demigods, let alone a person who has not reached the legend. And in the game, Liang Lidong himself is also a legendary level, and it didn't take long to enter the demigod, plus Grinton was still his subordinate in the game, and Glynton himself also had memories in the game, so Liang Lidong would not treat the Zell family as a famous family more and more.
"I've got an urgent need to find Glinton Zell, please take me in." Liang Lidong didn't want to have more branches, he had tried his best to make his tone seem very peaceful and gentle.
But the other party didn't think so, and Terrese sneered: "The respect of our family is also something that a young man like you can call casually?" Is it something you can see casually? At least I have to send a message first. For the sake of you're still young and not very sensible, get me out of here now. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind. β
Liang Lidong sighed and took two steps back.
Traces thought that the other party was in trouble, and was about to show a smug smile, when the thick fog in the sky centered on the red-robed spellcaster in front of her, frantically poured out, less than two seconds. and filled all the places she could see.
She was suddenly frightened and her face turned white, although she was already a LV7 level spellcaster, but Terex had not experienced real battles, her level was piled up by the family's resources, in other words, she was a theorist mage.
Surrounded by a thick fog and unable to see around, most men will be nervous, let alone a woman who is just relying on the prestige of the family.
In fact, the theoretical mage is very strong. They have the greatest magical lethality, have the highest average number of magical skills, and can be a formidable ranged turret as long as someone protects them.
They're just not very good at frontal combat.
Tremes gave herself a universal magic shield, and she shouted around her, "Who are you?" What kind of magic is this? β
If it is a mage who has been trained in battle normally, the first reaction at this time should be to use the dispel technique, of course, it is useless. Driving fog is
It can be seen that Terex has been scared enough.
"You stay where you are, or don't blame me."
Hear it in Terres. The voice came from all directions at the same time, and she couldn't tell which direction the enemy was.
Why don't you use wind magic to blow away the fog...... Therese also knows a few wind magics. She was about to do this, but she felt a chill in her back vest and was pointed at by a cold sharp weapon.
"You don't dare to kill me." Although Trese was scared, she felt that she needed to protect the honor of her family even more, and she must not show her cowardice in front of the enemy: "If you kill me, our Zell family will hunt you down as far as the sky." β
"I don't want to kill you. I just don't want you to move. Because Glynton will soon be down. β
Theres's proud face was a little incredulous, and then she snorted coldly: "The head of the family will come down soon, and you will die." β
Liang Lidong ignored her and waited quietly.
A thick fog covered a circular area with a radius of 385 meters, enveloping the entire ChΓ’teau de ChΓ’teau de Zell.
When a dense fog appears. Glynton was discussing with a nobleman when a thick fog peeked through the window into his study, flooding it in less than three seconds.
The man who was talking to Glinton about things was an ordinary nobleman, who was so covered by the fog that he could barely see anything, and he screamed in panic, Glinton calmed the man, and then stood at the window and looked down.
Because he is of a high level and is about to enter the legend, the fog has little effect on him. At a glance, he saw Liang Lidong standing at the entrance of the suspension bridge.
Liang Lidong had the blue eyes of the cloud dragon and the fog driving skills to help him reconnoitre, so he knew that Grinton was in that direction, and as soon as the eyes of the two people touched, then Grinton jumped directly from the window on the third floor.
By the time Liang Lidong had withdrawn from the fog magic, Glynton had already walked to the drawbridge.
There was no obstructive fog, Terrese could see now, and she was very happy to see Greenton: "Uncle Grandpa, this person has come to trouble our family." β
Liang Lidong withdrew his weapon.
Greenton sighed, he walked up to Terre and said, "I told you earlier, you should be humble and not too arrogant. There are a lot of people in this world who don't look at our Zell's face, and now you've met one. It's good that he's my friend, otherwise you'd really kick the iron plate this time. β
Trace's expression turned ugly, and she saluted Glinton before leaving with a black face.
After this person left, Liang Lidong smiled and said, "It seems that although you are the patriarch, it doesn't seem that your words are too effective." β
"I'm bastard, after all." Greenton smiled indifferently: "It's you, even if you are blocked from looking for me, you don't have to fight so much." What the hell is going on. In my memory, you have always been very calm, even if it is a holy war, you children of gold will not care too much. β
"It's just that there is a possibility of jihad."
Greenton was stunned for a moment, his handsome face was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned: "Holy war? Can you be sure? β
"I'm not 100% sure, but it's very probable." Liang Lidong said slowly: "Last night's harvest festival. I saw the four oracle pillars of light descend almost simultaneously. You can't see it, but it doesn't mean that we are playing...... The children of gold are invisible. β
Glynton was silent for a moment: "What are the gods?" β
"Light, life, storm, and Thor." Liang Lidong smacked his lips: "Judging from the color of the pillar of light that descended the oracle, it should be that these four gods have not run away." I've informed Winterwind. Now to inform you. As a border city, Tonggu City is more dangerous in the Holy War, so you'd better prepare in advance, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. β
"Shit." The half-elf spat out vulgar words that did not match his delicate face: "It's finally been calm for more than three hundred years, what kind of holy war are these gods going to engage in, are they too idle to panic?" β
Jihad represents many meanings that are generally found only between two religions. But if there is a jihad between three or four religions at the same time, it will definitely turn into a war that will affect the whole world. No one will be immune.
"Maybe they're too idle." Liang Lidong got back on his horse, and then he condescendingly said to the half-elf: "I have passed the news to you now, whether you believe it or not is another matter. β
Glynton was a little puzzled: "Why do you just run over and let the messenger deliver the message?" β
"I'm wearing magic robes, and I'm being harassed when I want to see them, and it's weird if I let the others come, and they won't be blown away." Liang Lidong said with a bit of sarcasm: "Besides, other people may have a holy war, will you believe it?" So I came over myself. β
Greenton also had to admit. The master in his dream said very reasonably, and he nodded slightly: "No matter what." Thank you. Thank you very much for Alice's business. β
"You're welcome, I'm just taking advantage of you. As long as your Copper Drum City is still there, our Reed Village will be much more at ease, after all, there are only two roads to reach our Reed Village, one is your Copper Drum City. The other is Winterwind City. As long as your two border cities are okay, we will be okay in Reed Village. β
The half-elf also smiled: "You know how to take advantage." β
"Okay, I'll go first, there's still a lot of work to deal with."
Grinton stood on the suspension bridge and watched Liang Lidong leave, and he slowly walked back to the study thoughtfully. The nobleman who had been talking to him just now was still there.
See the host back. The nobleman wiped his cold sweat and asked, "Your Excellency, what happened just now, did someone want to attack your Zell family, who dares to be so bold!" β
Greenton sat down in his black chair, looked at the other man, and said, "Your Excellency, I agree with your offer, but I now have a new request, and I need you to supply us with a large amount of wheat, the more the better." I offered a price 10% higher than the market price, what do you think? β
"Hehe, deal."
As a frontier soldier and an old 'soldier' who fought with Liang Lidong in his dreams, Greenton knew very well that once the war broke out, the most important thing was food. As long as there is surplus food, it is easy to say at any time, if there is no surplus food, no matter how well-equipped your forces are, it is useless no matter how well trained the soldiers are.
Liang Lidong naturally knew this, and after telling the news to the de facto rulers of the two cities, he immediately returned to the village, and at the same time asked Kyle to gather all his students.
Standing on the chanting platform in the prayer hall, Liang Lidong looked at the dozens of students sitting below, looking at their eyes that were still innocent and full of admiration, he sighed in his heart, if there was really a holy war, the war would last for ten years, and he didn't know how many of these children could survive.
"Ark, you take a group of people to the city to buy grain, buy two or three hundred catties every day, and try not to alarm the grain merchants, until the price of grain rises to six times higher than it is now."
"Kyle, you're in charge of training people who want to be professionals, and if there's an adult who wants to train with you, then even train with them."
"Haring, you choose a few people, go to the mountain behind the temple and dig a hole out, the bigger the better, the food that Ark bought, just pile up in that place, understand?"
"If you understand, act now and don't waste time."
Although the children don't know what's going on, they know how to read people's faces. The teacher's expression is very bad, which means that something big is likely to happen recently, so they are very serious about doing things, and no one is lazy or complaining.
In the evening, an unexpected guest came to the temple, the old village chief.
Since giving the authority of the village chief to Liang Lidong, the old village chief Reed has rarely gone out of the yard, and generally stays in the courtyard to bask in the sun leisurely.
At this point, he came over, obviously with a lot of questions to figure out.
"Lord Beta, you are suddenly going to build the city wall, and Kyle said just now that you asked Yak and them to go to the city to buy food, which gave me a bad premonition." The old man's voice was already very old, so old that he spoke very quietly, and he was weak: "I usually have a lot of cleverness, but in fact I am not a smart person, but I also know that if someone hoards food for no reason, it must be a large-scale war." β
Liang Lidong was silent and did not speak.
The old village chief continued: "I am just an ordinary old man, and in the event of war, I will not be able to protect the village at all. Although Kyle is capable, he is still young and does not understand many things. Your Excellency, you are now the acting village chief, and I know that this is very unfair to you, but I still hope that you will become the official village chief, and protect us and the village when the war comes. β
Liang Lidong looked at the other party: "This request is a scoundrel." β
"I know!" The old village chief nodded: "But if my guess unfortunately comes true, as long as you are willing to stay in our village, don't say scoundrels, even if you make me kneel, I am willing." β
Liang Lidong was a little curious: "Why are you so sure that war is coming, not that I'm worrying about it?" β
"It's easy." The old village chief said slowly: "You are the most learned person I have ever met, and you are also the most knowledgeable person I have ever had, and the person who can control your emotions the most, but even if you are like this, you are restless, I think nothing can make you anxious like this except for the terrible war." β
"As the village chief, I want you to stay and help us. But on a personal level, I want you to leave with Kyle. β
Leaving such words, the old village chief left with his hands behind his back, and his face was flushed.
Liang Lidong didn't speak for a long time, he knew that the old man was about to die, this was a reflection of the light, as a professional, he could smell the breath of death. He had heard a saying that the closer a person is to death, the more sober and intelligent he becomes.
Today's old village chief is very wise.
The next morning, Kyle's cries spread throughout the village, and the old village chief Reed died in his bed, his face painless and peaceful. (To be continued......)
