Chapter 1142: The Down-and-Out Duke
Since Don took charge of Bloodrock, a large amount of supplies have been transported from Ellington's teleportation array, and then flowed into the market in a stable and orderly manner under the control of the military, so that for the first time in their lives, the surviving residents of Bloodrock City have eaten fresh vegetables and fruits in the cold winter.

Ellington's greenhouse cultivation technology has been popularized in the Ilrus Empire, and now there are a large number of vegetables and fruits produced in the winter, and after meeting the needs of the main market, it is not harmful to send some to Grace, but rather, because these delicious and fresh vegetables and fruits have allowed the residents of Bloodrock City to have a dreamlike winter, and their hatred for the Ilrus Empire has been slightly lightened - when Stanley was in power, the slogans were very loud, but the quality of life of Grace's people did not change much.
And Tang En has just entered Blood Rock City, and the quality of life of the residents in the city has immediately changed visibly, and there is no need to think about who can bring them a better life.
In a narrow alley, there are a few taverns in the sparse Lalan, since Stanley forcibly recruited 500,000 young adults to participate in the war, there are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Blood Rock City, and the business is naturally not much better, and the business is deserted.
In one of the taverns called "Blood Roar", there were a few people sitting in a sparse place, and at a cursory glance, most of these people were missing arms and legs, and they were obviously Grace veterans who had retired from the battlefield.
There was a soft "clang", the door of the tavern was pushed open, and a cold wind wrapped a figure into the tavern.
The man walked to the bar and slapped a silver coin with a "snap": "Have the strongest hellish blood roar." ”
The boss put away the silver coins, looked at the visitor in surprise and said, "Captain Maren? Didn't you go to war with Baron Owen? Why are you okay......"
All those who participated in the war have been taken away and ready to be sent to labor reform, but Captain Mullen has not been sent away?
Even if he didn't go to war with Baron Owen, the defenders of the city were all arrested, why was he okay?
It's scary to think about it......
Maren smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it...... I just want to get drunk right now. ”
"Really? Then I have to recommend this wine to you, the strongest wine now is not Hell Blood Roar, but the Tang Dynasty Hero Wine, which is the best spirit just shipped from Ellington, and this weather is the best. ”
The boss saw that Ma Lun didn't want to talk more, so he didn't ask any more, but took out a 125ml bottle of Datang Hero Wine for him.
"That's it?"
Ma Lun frowned: "Boss, are you going to cheat me?" ”
"If you don't want it, forget it!"
The boss said angrily: "I still give you a preferential price for the sake of old customers, and if you are someone else, this small bottle will cost at least 5 silver coins." ”
Such a small bottle of wine actually costs 5 silver coins!?
Maren glanced at the customer next to him, and the man nodded: "The boss didn't lie to you, it's indeed this price." ”
But this is too expensive!
If it had been in the past, one silver coin would have been enough for him to drink three cups of Hell Blood Roar!
Malen frowned and unscrewed the lid, sniffed it, the fresh and sweet aroma of wine in the bottle made his eyes brighten, and he couldn't wait to pour it down, only to feel that the moment he entered the mouth, a clear and soft liquor slipped through his tongue and flowed into his throat.
"Sure enough, it's good wine!"
Mullen was pleasantly surprised, and took out another 10 silver coins: "Bring me two more bottles!" I'm going to have a drink today! ”
"I'm sorry, I'll sell you one more bottle at most."
The boss picked up 5 silver coins and pushed the rest back to him: "Because this wine was very popular when it first came on the market, and now it is out of stock, and I don't have much here." ”
After a pause, the boss continued: "In addition, if you have extra gold and silver coins at home, use them quickly, the city government has issued an announcement to start recycling gold, silver and copper coins and replacing them with banknotes issued by the Central Bank of Plandal." ”
"Banknotes?"
Ma Lun savored the taste of the Tang Dynasty Hero Wine, and after a while, he exhaled and said, "I have heard that even the Wren Empire has begun to use this currency now, it is said to be easy to carry, water and fire resistant, and anti-counterfeiting." ”
"yes, it's a good thing for us to switch to paper money."
While the two were chatting, there was a sudden discussion next to them, which attracted their attention.
"Have you heard? Marquis Kurt Everett, lord of Black Mountain City, has sworn allegiance to that man......"
The man who was talking to Malen just now shook his head and couldn't help but say, "In fact, not only the city lord of Black Mountain City, but also the city lord of Deadwood City, Marquis Ivan Joyce, the marquis of Bartholo Mume Cofel of Hammer City, Marquis Bertram Darnley of Salt Lake City, etc., a total of more than a dozen marquis city lords have all sworn allegiance. ”
"Oh my God! So the major cities of our Grace have fallen under his control? Aren't they going to rebel? ”
"Rebellion? What to resist? ”
The man poured a sip of wine and said in a muffled voice, "You don't know yet, now from Salt Lake City to the south, there is nothing left on the Wuthering Plateau, and there is not a single grass!" ”
"What!?"
"It's said to be the power of the legendary spell, because Stanley angered that person, so he directly unleashed the legendary spell and destroyed everything there to deter Stanley's bastard-"
"Shhhh Although Stanley is dead, and now that the sky has changed, it is better not to scream. ”
"Hey, what am I afraid of this old bone?"
The man didn't care, grabbed a piece of roasted oily meat steak and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and after taking a sip of wine, continued: "Although I don't know if it's true, but I heard that there are only fourteen city lords who came to Blood Rock City this time, and with the addition of Blood Rock City, I'm afraid that we Grace only have these fifteen big cities left. ”
A few people next to him listened to the creepy horror, more than a dozen cities, tens of millions of lives, just disappeared so suddenly?
"Ruthless isn't enough to describe that person, is it?"
"Ruthless?"
The man burped and laughed drunkenly, "You don't know what's going on in the castle." ”
"What's going on in the castle?"
Don ...... Hmm, it's time to call him His Majesty Don, it's really a little unaccustomed," the man sighed, wanting to drink to moisten his throat, but suddenly found that there was no wine, touched his pocket, sighed secretly, and then he pointed in the direction of the castle, "Your Majesty Don may have made those city lords soften as soon as possible, so he disclosed to them what was found in the castle, hey, guess what was found in that castle?" ”
Even Mullen and the tavernkeeper were attracted to attention, and Mullen leaned over and asked, "What did you find?" ”
The man glanced at him and sneered, "You can still find an adult man with an able-bodied body?" It's rare. ”
Ma Lun frowned, took out a gold coin and patted it in front of the man: "I'll invite you today, drink whatever you want, hurry up." ”
The man saw the gold coin, and then looked at the tavernkeeper.
The tavern owner is also quite good at things, and after putting away the gold coins, he directly brought him a large plate, a few glasses full of hell blood roar, and a bottle of Datang Hero Wine that is on sale in limited quantities.
"Hey, Datang Hero Wine, it's good, but it's a pity that I can't enjoy it."
The man picked up the bottle and wiped it, carefully stuffed it into his bosom, and then took a beautiful sip from the glass, and after whetting the appetite of Maren and them, he continued: "They found the body. ”
"Cut, corpse only......"
The man said coldly: "Those corpses are our former queens. ”
A cold wind hit, and the temperature in the tavern seemed to drop a few degrees in an instant, and these people suddenly remembered one thing, Stanley's new queen would often disappear from everyone's sight in a short time, at most a year or two, and then he would marry a new queen, but those disappeared queens were never seen again......
"They're all killed, Stanley, whom you adore...... His Majesty Stanley...... Hehe......"
Thinking that he had personally sent his daughter into the arms of the demon, the corners of the man's eyes were a little moist, and he wiped them casually, and then continued to drink.
"But," the tavern keeper couldn't help asking, "even the queen's corpse can't be a weight to convince those lords, right?" ”
"Of course not."
The man shook his head and continued, "But what is announced next is enough to destroy the prestige that Stanley left in their hearts. ”
Maren frowned: "Don't be appetizing, what exactly did you find in the castle?" ”
"Magic Array."
The man said slowly, "The magic array that summons demons...... Our Majesty Stanley, who summoned demons and made deals with them. ”
Demon!
Everyone was shocked that the king they worshipped and trusted had summoned a demon!? And made a deal with the devil!?
"Those little queens, I'm afraid they are all victims of this transaction, the sky-high blood pillar you saw that day was caused by His Majesty Tang En's destruction of the magic array."
The man said in a hoarse voice, "A huge pool of blood has been dug out of the basement of the castle, and there is countless blood and bones in it, and the hearts of the queens were dug out by Stanley and used in the demon's magic array......"
An extremely terrifying image seemed to emerge before everyone's eyes, the heart of Linlin, who donated blood, was dug out of the chest of the immature little queen by Stanley, and then placed on the magic circle to be sacrificed to the demons......
Maren shuddered for a moment, then looked at the man in extreme horror: "Who are you?" This kind of news can't be known to a down-and-out homeless person! ”
"Tramp......
The man looked down at himself, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, he now looked like a homeless man: "Well, a homeless man is a homeless man......"
Maren glared at the man's slightly aged face, messy hair, sunken eye sockets, sunken cheeks......
Suddenly, Mullen's body trembled, and the face of the homeless man in front of him overlapped with a person, and he exclaimed: "Lord Felton!?" ”
"No, you've mistaken someone, I'm the homeless Just. I'll leave you with the rest, don't waste it. ”
Justt Felton drank all the wine in his glass, waved his hand, and turned and walked out of the tavern.
