Chapter 402: The Pursuit I.

Sick Town, an entirely localized town, is located fifty kilometers from Nangang.

Because of the beautiful environment and quiet town, many wealthy businessmen in Nangang will choose to buy real estate here - after Nangang enters the hot summer, come here to spend that hot time.

In the mayor's house, Dean, the Grand Duke's Swordsman, and the Night's Watch Knight were talking in a low voice, and a man of about fifty years of age was standing beside him with a look of horror.

This is a man with a rich body, although the years have inevitably left layers of traces on his face, but compared with ordinary civilians, it is much better, and the clothes and accessories on his body are also carefully selected; It can be seen that this is a person who has a very nourishing life.

In fact, as the mayor of Sick, old Sick has always been quite well-off.

Although it can't be rich, it is close to Nangang, and it is even closer to the Emerald Castle, with the reputation of the Emerald Grand Duke, there are no bandits and robbers around, and life is very stable; Moreover, because those wealthy merchants like to come here for summer vacations, they only need to spend a little care, and they will not have to worry about food and clothing.

Therefore, old Sick has always lived a comfortable life.

However, what he didn't expect was that the evil of the Ring of Morbius appeared here. Follower!

Old Sick was very shocked by what the Grand Duke swordsman said, but he didn't have the slightest doubt - the reputation of the Grand Duke Swordsman was convincing enough.

"Your Excellency, you mean that they are hiding in the town!"

Old Sicke asked with a slight trepidation.

The laws of Emerald have always been lenient, but they are harsh when dealing with robbers and bandits; And when it comes to the Ring of Morbius. It's the cold wind of the Far North. It's chilling.

So. Old Sick definitely didn't want to be involved with the people of the Ring of Morbius.

"Don't worry, they have nothing to do with you - it's normal that you didn't find out about the ability of the Ring of Morbius to hide!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman comforted the Mayor, and then looked at the Night's Watchman.

"Is it here?"

Grand Duke Swordsman asked.

"It's right hereβ€”in that house less than a hundred feet from where we are!"

The Night's Watch said with certainty, and at the same time, he stood up and pointed there.

"Mr. Mayor, where is it?"

Grand Duke Swordsman asked.

"That's Lord Ferdinand's house. However, it is only during the hottest hours of summer that His Excellency Ferdinand's family arrives...... Usually, only a few servants will take care of the house here! ”

Old Sick said again and again.

"Ferdinand?"

The Grand Duke Swordsman frowned and muttered to himself.

"Instructor, who is this Excellency?"

Dean retracted his gaze from the room in the distance, looked at the Grand Duke Swordsman, and asked.

"Ferdinand, one of His Highness's former advisors, holds the title of Lord, and his health deteriorated a year ago due to an illness. And I resigned to His Highness! ”

The Grand Duke Swordsman replied.

"So, the body of His Excellency Ferdinand now?"

Dean asked with a groan.

"It's not good. Although the Grand Duke has found a lot of doctors and pharmacists, he can only maintain his current state - don't worry, I have personally checked Ferdinand's, and there is nothing suspicious, he will not have anything to do with the Ring of Morbius! ”

Apparently, the Grand Duke Swordsman knew what Dean was thinking.

"This Lord Ferdinand has no connection to the Ring of Morbius, but...... These servants may be - most of them are locals, and there are very few outsiders, but every year some wealthy merchants come on vacation, don't you think this is a good place to develop a secret stronghold? ”

Dean shrugged his shoulders and looked at the house in the distance.

"Mr. Mayor, can you get the townsfolk to withdraw covertly?"

The Grand Duke Swordsman's eyes also looked at the house, and he asked Old Wick without looking back.

"Yes! We also have the militia mechanism promoted by His Highness here, as long as it is a sudden exercise, it will not arouse suspicion! ”

Old Sick replied in the affirmative.

"Hmmm! Again, be careful! ”

The Grand Duke swordsman nodded and instructed again.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Old Sick saluted and walked briskly outside.

And when Old Sick left, using the militia training as an excuse to transfer the townspeople, the Grand Duke Swordsman looked apologetically at Dean-

"Originally, it was time to prepare for the baptism of your Grand Knight Dean today......"

"We just had an unexpected incident, and you didn't stop it - it has nothing to do with you, and if I want to vent my frustrations, those guys are the best targets!"

Dean smiled at the Grand Duke Swordsman and pointed to the house where his target was.

"These monsters have my share!"

The Night's Watch interjected.

"No, no, Lord Fito, this is not a battle of will, but a battle - my abilities are more applicable to these monsters, and besides, I have fought these monsters more than once, and I know very well where their weaknesses are!"

Dean looked at the Night's Watch Knights very seriously.

"So I'm a 'tour guide'?"

The Night Watchman's crimson eyebrows furrowed, and he asked dissatisfiedly,

"No, you and the instructor have an even more important task to do - just in case, those townsfolk need two more to guard! While Mr. Mayor Mare has given us assurances, you should be fairly aware that even a well-trained regular army will be difficult to resist against those monsters, let alone the militia...... Although we didn't let them go into battle! ”

Dean said.

"Okay!"

The Night's Watch finally nodded.

The Grand Duke Swordsman on the side did not have the slightest opinion, and when Dean's gaze swept over, he had already nodded with a smile - the Swordsman who had fought side by side with Dean more than once understood that what Dean said was the truth.

And for the facts. The Grand Duke Swordsman has never refused.

……

Bell, bell!

Two bells, one short and one long, rang.

When the townspeople of Sick heard the bell, they immediately went into action.

Young males. He began to pick up spears and hunting knives that were placed behind the door. Gathering briskly towards the center of the town, the mayor was already standing on the platform in the center of the town.

"Bring your family and head towards Emerald Castle!"

Old Sick didn't say much, and shouted directly.

And the townspeople did not have any objections, and they acted quickly.

On a certain day of the month, Sick Town conducts a similar drill, and the townspeople have long been accustomed to it, especially with retreats like Emerald Castle. It is the most frequent occurrence in the rehearsal content.

Therefore, after the mayor gave the order, the townspeople took action one after another.

Inside Ferdinand's Holiday House.

Several people with a gloomy aura looked at the scene in the town, and the one at the head asked directly, "What is this?" ”

"Tell your lordship, this is the town's militia training and drill - once a month, and after the autumn harvest, the townspeople will continue to train for it for a month and a half to improve their combat effectiveness......

A man dressed as the butler of the mansion replied respectfully.

"Improve your own combat effectiveness? A bunch of ant-like guys! ”

The leader snorted coldly, and interrupted the outer member's answer.

He just needed to know what it was and whether it was relevant to them.

As for the rest?

He wouldn't care.

Not to mention. His own troubles were enough to keep his attention from being distracted.

"There's already been a preemptive approach - we've got to find the guy; Otherwise...... The Burial Lords will never let us go! ”

The leader speaks of the 'first Son of God'. I couldn't help but tremble in my voice.

Several people around him who had a cold aura all over their bodies also trembled with such words.

Undoubtedly, their fear of the 'First Son of God' is far more than respect.

"But, but, we don't have any clues now?"

Restraining the fear in his heart, another Morbius Ring cultist asked.

"Those guys guarding the cemetery may know something!"

Another cultist of the Ring of Morbius said.

"But, but, it's the Nangang Cemetery, it's under the jurisdiction of the Jade Grand Duke, and we've already made a surprise attack, if we go again......"

The last cultist of the Ring of Morbius was skeptical.

"So, would you like to go to the herbarium of the burial lord?"

The leader of the Ring of Morbius asked coldly.

Suddenly, several of the surrounding Morbius Ring cultists shuddered again.

"Since we don't want to go to the herbarium of the burial lord, we must go to the cemetery of Southport - besides, I have been informed that the Emerald Grand Duke has been chasing the remnants of the pirate alliance for the last two days, and will not notice us at all! As for the rest of the guys. With our ......"

Knock, knock!

Before the leader of the Ring of Morbius could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Go see who it is?"

The Ring of Morbius cultists at the head glanced at the butler dissatisfied.

"Yes, sir!"

The butler nodded repeatedly, and then, at a trot, came to the gate of the mansion.

The door was not completely opened, but only a gap was opened where the guests outside could be clearly seen.

"You are?"

Carefully looking at the young man in front of him, his slightly handsome appearance was only an ordinary dress, although there was a long sword at his waist, but there was nothing else that made him look conspicuous, and more importantly, the other party made him feel strange; Therefore, the butler asked very suspiciously.

"How many of you are looking for the Ring of Morbius?"

Dean said with a smile.

"W-What?"

The butler was horrified.
