Chapter 69: Necromancer in Ellington?
Locke obviously didn't expect to meet Don here, and after waving at his companion, he sat down next to Done.
So Elijah pouted, disliking the guy who had disturbed her and her big brother for dinner.
"You also heard the news, I really didn't expect that it would be the lord who kidnapped those little girls."
Locke sighed, and when he saw Don nodded, he said again: "But this is also a good thing, I wondered why you paid attention to this matter, I didn't expect you to have such a beautiful and cute little sister." β
Hearing Locke say that she was beautiful and cute, Illya reluctantly showed a smile and reduced some hostility.
"Now my lordship...... No, Baron Duveys is dead, and this matter will soon be spread to the imperial capital, and it is estimated that there will be another lord here soon, and I hope it will not be another scumbag again. β
Locke sighed: "Probably when we return from the mission, the new lord will take office." β
"Mission?"
"Well, the kidnapping case is nothing to do with us, but it's a pity that the bounty of the two thousand gold coins is offered."
Locke was very sorry, but in a blink of an eye, he cheered up: "But it's nothing, there is another task, the necromancer's bounty is much more than this money, a full five thousand gold coins, with this money, my team members can change some new equipment." β
Locke was imperative on this task.
Tang En bowed slightly: "But necromancers are not so easy to deal with, you better be careful." β
"Don't worry, what's there to fear from a necromancer who only dares to cower in a backcountry like Ellington and steal corpses......"
"What did you say!?"
Donne's eyes widened suddenly, "Ellington? β
"Uh, yes."
Locke didn't know why Donn was so excited: "The bounty news says that the necromancer's haunt is just south of Ellington......"
South of Ellington?
Don frowned, remembering that it was ...... Ladean Forest? Further south is the Lake of Flash, where there are no inhabitants, and there will be a necromancer there?
"Are you sure?"
"Well, at least that's what the message says...... What's wrong? β
"To the south of Ellington is the Ladian Forest, and further south is the Lake of Lights in the forest, and there are no inhabitants, how can there be a necromancer?"
"How do you know?"
Locke looked at Don in great surprise.
Elijah said as a matter of course: "Because the eldest brother is the lord of Ellington!" β
"What!?"
Locke was taken aback and stood up directly: "You...... Is the lord of Ellington? β
Donn nodded, "Sit down and talk." β
Locke had no choice but to obey, but after sitting down, he was visibly cramped.
Although Locke has a small mercenary group and a good reputation in Casparmyburg, he is just a civilian.
And what is Donn? Suzerain!
To put it more bluntly, the feudal nobles of the empire!
It's a world of difference from his identity!
Thinking that he had just talked to Donn so casually, Locke felt a little embarrassed.
"Are you sure you got the bounty wrong?"
"No, my lord, I've been sure."
"That's weird......"
Tang En frowned, necromancers often deal with corpses, it is impossible to go to such a remote place, and when he was in Ellington, although he did not take the initiative to search, he did not feel the fluctuation of the breath of death, at least it means that there is no trace of necromancers within a radius of a hundred miles from Ellington.
In Ellington's territory, except for a small number of villages around Ellington's town, there are no people living farther away, so there can be no necromancer......
Maybe it's another big oolong trouble with the mercenary guild.
Tang En pouted, there were many players scolding the Mercenary Guild in the game, this Mercenary Guild always only gives a general range when it releases tasks, sometimes it is 108,000 miles away from the goal of the task, this is the case in the game, it is estimated that Plandar is not far from ten here.
Thinking of this, Don En breathed a sigh of relief.
"Locke, when are you going to go?"
"I'm going to leave tomorrow, because there will be a few days of delay on the road, and my nemesis has also taken over the task, so I want to solve this task before they do."
"Tomorrow, maybe we'll be able to walk together."
"What do you mean?"
"We're going back to Ellington tomorrow, you should go through Ellington over there, right?"
"No, we're not going to get into Ellington ......"
"No, no, you've traveled a long way and you're dealing with dangerous necromancers, so you must be in need of supplies, right?"
"Well, we've got plenty of supplies......"
Donn stared into Locke's eyes, "You guys, will, enter, Ellington, right?" β
"Yes, yes! We'll get in! Will definitely go in! Not only will they rest there, but they will also be there to replenish supplies! β
Locke shuddered, subconsciously covering his pockets, he always felt as if his wallet was being targeted by an evil thought.
"Well, yes, I welcome you in advance as Lord Ellington."
Tang En happily raised his wine glass and touched it with him, and silently added in his heart: "...... Gold coins in your pockets are also welcome. β
In fact, it wasn't that Don was really eyeing Locke's poor savings, but ...... Ellington's changes need to be spread out.
And the mercenary group that goes south and north is undoubtedly a good character.
When they see the changes in Ellington and take the news to other places, there will be a lot of people willing to come and look for business opportunities, and slowly Ellington will become very lively.
And Ellington's lack of vitality now is due to the fact that there is no foreign population to settle in, and once there is a foreign population to bring vitality, Ellington's local economy will gradually wake up.
These are all things that he, a lord, needs to consider, so he insists on letting Locke take the mercenary group to Ellington.
After drinking, Locke hurried back to his companions.
A bald man came over: "Commander, who is that person?" Look like you're having a good time chatting with him? β
Locke's heart trembled: "Shhh, be quiet, that is a lord!" β
The bald man was stunned: "Lord Lord!?" No, Du Weier just died today, and it is impossible for the imperial capital to appoint a new lord so soon! β
"He's Lord of Ellington!"
"I see...... Ellington, isn't that where we're going to go? β
"Hmm...... Plans change, and we take a half-day break in Ellington to replenish supplies. β
"Huh?"
The bald man was dumbfounded: "Commander, those bastards of the Flame Sword won't wait for us, if it's delayed, the gold coins will fall into their hands!" β
"You know what!"
Locke said solemnly, "I can get acquainted with the lord of Ellington, this is an opportunity for us!" If we can have a good relationship with this lord, our future headquarters of the Cross Rose can be set up in Ellington! If we go one step further and get a business license from him, or some other promise, maybe we will be able to get rid of the current life and live the aristocratic life of our dreams! β
Hearing Locke say this, the bald man and several others couldn't help but nod in understanding.
"Sure enough, it's the boss, and it's thoughtful!"
"Of course! How else would I be the head of the regiment! β
Locke laughed dryly, secretly relieved.
After dinner, Don sent Elija back to her room to rest, and he left Casparmyburg without a word, and quickly unleashed his mental power, which under his deliberate control was only probing the pepper that made his mouth water.
Ford said that there are those that grow near Casparmiaburg, and it should not be difficult to find...... Pregnant! β
The next moment, Donn's body disappeared in an instant, appearing in a small forest outside Casparmeyburg.
Shimmer!
After releasing the shimmering technique, Don saw the string of delightful little things in front of him, and he resisted his excitement, picked one and tore off a piece and put it in his mouth.
A pungent smell instantly spreads in the mouth.
Hot!
It's spicy!
Very spicy!
The spicy Don tears flowed out, but with a happy smile on his face, with a wave of his hand, this piece of pepper disappeared even the roots and leaves, and he stuffed it into the package, just like a locust crossing the border, and there was no grass!
Don now sincerely hopes that the pepper will be planted in Ellington as well, so that he can consider making his own dishes to improve his diet......
If nothing else, just a scrambled egg with chili, he drools when he thinks about it now.
If you can find another pepper, make some butter and boil a pot of base, make some thin and transparent meat slices, pinch some meatballs, and then make some pure natural green and pollution-free wild vegetables, and soak them in the pot......
That taste, hiss......
Tang En sucked his saliva and hurriedly stopped the fantasy, if he thought about it any longer, he probably couldn't help but go all over the world to find the pepper material......
After putting away the chili peppers, Don returned to the hotel and slept beautifully with a soft Ilia in his arms.
Upon waking up, Donn finds Ford and tells him that he is ready to leave for Ellington.
Although Ford felt that it was a little strange for Don to come here for only one night and then go back, he didn't say anything, after all, the lords of Casparmyburg were dead, and even if they wanted to talk about things, they couldn't talk about it......
At this time, Ford suddenly shuddered.
When the lord didn't come, Baron Duvière was fine.
As soon as the lord arrived, Baron Duvière died.
Could it be ......
Ford didn't dare to think any further, hurried to prepare the forage and dry rations, and they set off.
Not long after they left Casparmyburg, Don and the others caught up with the Cross Rose Mercenary Regiment, the Mercenary Regiment
Most of the members were on foot, and the wagons were pulling supplies and supplies, and they moved a little slower.
"Looks like we can really go along."
Don had a big smile on his face.
"Hmmm......"
Locke is full of bitterness, you are simply worried that we will not go to Ellington, so you plan to follow and supervise the whole process, right?
