After the cataclysm, few adventurers came here except for the locals of the small town of Frosacken. It is only during www.biquge.info frost-free period of just a few dozen days a year that a few fixed caravans come here to bring some daily necessities.

It is said that there have been calls within the empire to completely abandon the town, but it has been strongly opposed by the O'Brid, the oldest family in the empire.

The small town of Frosacken is one of the O'Brand's hereditary domains, and for some reason the O'Bright family values this enclave far from the family headquarters. It was the persistence of the O'Brid family that allowed the town to survive.

For a large family like O'Bright, in a remote place like Flossaken with a harsh environment and little oil and water, it is generally not necessary to send a direct child to be a lord here, at most a side child to be a sheriff here for a few years, and then another one after a while. The sheriff only needs to make sure that the town does not riot and that the town is still under the rule of the Empire.

But a year ago, this convention was broken. The newly appointed magistrate suddenly received an order that the empire had appointed a lord to the town, and that he should hand over the matter to the new lord after receiving the order.

I thought it would take three and a half years to return to the imperial capital here, but I didn't expect to receive the order to transfer in less than a year, and the sheriff was overjoyed. But when he saw the new lord, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

It was inconceivable that Stowe O'Brid, the third son of the patriarch, should be appointed lord of a town with a population of less than a thousand.

Seeing that the third young master, who was usually arrogant and hugged in the imperial capital, only brought an old housekeeper to take office at this time, the magistrate immediately realized that the third young master was probably exiled by the family in disguise.

The first thing Lord Stowe did after taking office was to order that all the slaves in the former sheriff's mansion and the current lord's mansion be dismissed, leaving only the old butler he had brought with him to serve him.

Stowe's order caused a stir in the town, making the townspeople resentful of him.

Desperate to open the way to the Western Kingdoms after the cataclysm, Rey III issued a favorable conscription order, calling adventurers to explore the Bavarian Mountains.

The adventurers brought back from the depths of the Bavarian Mountains a variety of rare minerals, monster skins, and magic cores...... Everything that is produced in the Warcraft Forest is produced in the Bavarian Mountains, and there are even various rare mineral veins that are not found in the Warcraft Forest. The ruins of the legendary mechanical kingdom of Bavaria attract adventurers, and the harsh environment of the small town of Frossaken is beginning to become less popular.

For this declining town, being able to serve in the lord's mansion is a fat gap. That meant a lot of income, and when these slaves were dismissed, they not only lost their original income, but also brought a lot of burden to their families.

It is no exaggeration to say that Stowe's order brought the overall standard of living of the town down another notch. The townspeople complained about this.

Another order that displeased the townsfolk was that Stowe ordered the start of a tax, not of gold but of all the liquor produced in the town.

This order made the townspeople cry even more, in a cold environment like Florsaken, wine is an indispensable necessity, and the town's local capacity for wine production is pitiful, and it needs to be transported from elsewhere by a few caravans, and now it has been exploited by the lord, which makes their already difficult life even worse.

After Stowe issued the order to levy taxes, the name "Stowe the Drunkard" spread, and countless jokes about the image of Stowe drunkards circulated in the town, the most exaggerated of which was that the Stowe Lord soaked in the luxurious baths of the lord's mansion every day, and the baths were filled with liquor taken from the town.

These two orders from Stowe brought his prestige to freezing ground in the town, in stark contrast to the esteemed Bishop Flren. In addition, Stowe's rumors about Bishop Fren's disrespect also came out "just right", which immediately made Stowe infamous.

It is said that the Stoist lord, who had just arrived here, heard about Bishop Fren's deeds and sneered: "The 'oracle' is one of the two supreme secret techniques of the Holy See, which is as famous as 'Holy Trace', and it is claimed to be able to predict the future. But I'm afraid that even Cardinal Ishta, the head of the Imperial Branch of the Holy See, will not be able to fully grasp it. As for this unknown Bishop of Flren, I am afraid that he is just grandstanding. ”

The townspeople were already resistant to the sudden appearance of the lord, and when the lord's disrespectful words to Bishop Fren came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the town. The townsfolk accused the lord of not blaspheming their great mentor, Bishop Fren.

On the contrary, Bishop Flon himself is constantly reassuring the townspeople. Bishop Flon modestly said that in a sense, the lord was right, and he could only rely on this spell to vaguely see the future.

In contrast, Bishop Fren is even more open-minded, while Lord Stowe has left a bad impression on the townspeople.

"Ahh

"What is that drunkard lord smoking?, and he drank too much early in the morning?" grumbled the townsfolk who had been tossed by the noise all night.

The complained lord was clutching his head with pale eyes at the moment, curled up on the ground and howled in pain, and in the blink of an eye, the cold sweat on his body had already left a human-shaped water trail on the scarlet carpet.

Stowe felt his soul traumatized, and a divine and powerful force nearly tore his soul to pieces.

The main culprit for all this is the Minoan Dictionary, which is now spread out on the desk.

This dictionary was given to him by the elusive old butler who suddenly appeared to him last night, and it was written in the common script of the continent and another strange script. Stowe, who always likes to read books first, flipped to the end of the dictionary, where he found several strange circle diagrams.

One of the circles had an inexplicable attraction to Stowe, as if it was constantly calling him. Out of curiosity, Stowe traced his hand along the path of the map.

As his fingers ran his fingers across the uncomplicated circle, the dark purple light of the circle made him feel dizzy, and in the haze he seemed to have transformed into a giant skeleton.

It was such an amazing experience, and Stowe could clearly feel how powerful this skeleton's body was, every bone in its body was as hard as iron, and every attack it made was full of power.

Since that accident, the power of the sealed Stowe has not felt this kind of power for a long time. If it weren't too ugly, Stowe would have taken this "body" for himself.

The skeleton's only thought in his mind was: kill those two men and get the parchment scroll for his master.

In the skeleton's mind, Stowe enjoyed a brilliant showdown: a trainee priest and a bard, the two classes recognized as the bottom of the continent's combat power, teamed up to defeat a high-ranking skeleton warrior.

He was impressed by the lightning-fast spellcasting speed of the Apprentice Priest and the unexpected war song of the Bard.

The bards who can still wield the power of war songs are almost extinct on the mainland, not to mention the trainee priest who can almost be regarded as an instantaneous divine spell, such a talent is only a handful even in the powerful imperial army, and it would be nice if such a talent could be in his hands.

It was precisely because of this love for talent that Stowe subconsciously interfered with the skeleton's movements, causing several homicidal attacks issued by the skeleton warrior to fail.

However, something happened to the joy and sorrow, the two little guys didn't know what secret techniques or magic props they used, and without warning, they sent out a high-level divine spell holy light arrow, which not only destroyed the skeleton warrior, but also caused great damage to the soul of Stoe who possessed it.

Stowe's soul returned to his body almost the moment he was hurt, and the huge soul trauma made him unable to control himself in agony. Under the power of the Holy Light Saber, Stowe's soul fire was almost shattered.
