Chapter 551: Quid pro quo

"Can you order them? It's the kind of puppet that you give orders, they can't disobey, and they will do exactly what you order. Is that true of your servants? Lily's words revealed a certain urgency.

Alan thought for a moment and said, "That's not true, just like Belmode, do you think he seems to be under my control for everything he says and does?" Servants are able to retain independent thinking, they can make their own decisions, and to a large extent, they are quite free. Of course, in order to ensure that they would not betray, for example, they would seriously injure me, the master, but not let me die. In situations like these, I hold the key to unilaterally depriving them of their lives. So you see, I don't want Belmode to become a servant if it's not necessary, because that's very unfair to him. ”

Lily's eyes lit up, and she almost pounced on Allen, grabbed his collar with both hands and shouted, "Teach me the techniques of transforming the Servant, and I will give you the corresponding reward!" ”

Alan smiled bitterly: "This is the crux of the problem, the transformation of the servant cannot be taught to others. And the number of places I can transform is now only six. ”

"I don't believe it!" Lily said word for word.

Alan spread his hands and said, "Even if you kill me now, I will answer like this." Your Highness Lily, I have no need to deceive you. ”

Lily looked him up and down, finally making sure that Alan wasn't lying. But this frustrated her, and she jumped out of bed and walked up and down the floor, repeating in her mouth, "There must be another way." ”

Suddenly, she stood still, looked at Allen, and said, "Then you follow me back to the Styx Promenade and help me transform a person into a servant." But she can't stay with you, of course, for which I will compensate you. Look at that monkey, the Servant should be your guard. Well, I'll give it to you...... Ten Dragon Knights! ”

Alan was stunned, Lily's decision was a big deal. Previously, the Dragon Knight intervened with Daniel and rescued him. Eren knew very well what kind of power knights like Jenna had, and ten knights like Jena was a lot of money. What's more, aside from the combat power, the mere fact that there are ten Nagas is enough to make many men blush.

Lily gritted her teeth and said, "Don't be too greedy, the royal court guards are my most precious treasure." If it weren't for the lack of other options, I wouldn't have made them a condition of exchange. I protect, and you can have their loyalty. And if they're willing, you can get something extra, like their body. ”

"Your Highness Lily, since the Dragon Knight is so precious, then I want five. I'm hoping you can give me something else, though. For example......

"For example, what?" Lily frowned.

"Fountain of Youth. Not much, just one or two drops. ”

"What!" Lily's eyebrows raised, and she suddenly had a murderous intent: "You can't fight the idea of the Fountain of Youth!" ”

Alan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm also compelled to do it, I don't know if you've heard of Source Force Confinement?" ”

He originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect Lily to nod her head and say, "What, you have been imprisoned by the source force?" ”

Now it was Allen's turn to be curious, and he nodded, "That's right, I'm already level nineteen." I believe that it won't be long before I can hit the level 20 mark. When the time comes, I will definitely touch the barrier of source force confinement, which is set up in my heart. I'd like to find another way to fix it, but if there's no way around, I'll have to risk hitting the barrier. So ......"

"So you're worried that your heart will be damaged, even broken, and therefore need to be repaired by the Fountain of Youth?" Lily's eyes softened a little and said, "When I was healing you before, I did feel that the source power in your heart was a little difficult to pass, and it turned out that the source force was imposed. Well, if that's the reason, I can understand that. ”

She untied the pearl necklace around her neck and took off one of the largest pearls: "There are a few drops of the Fountain of Youth, so you can use them yourself when you need them." ”

Lily threw the pearl to Alan, who took it, and sure enough, she felt a vigorous vitality from the pearl, which was still better than the previous blue sea and heavenly heart. Hurriedly put it away at the moment, for fear that Lily would change her mind, Lily snorted and said, "Then when will you go back to the Styx Promenade with me to save people." ”

Alan said seriously: "You can also see that now that this territory has just ended the war, it will probably take a period of rest. And I have to walk away for a while, so give me three months. ”

"Three months, okay then." Lily was very simple this time, and said, "Then I will give you three months, and I don't need you to go to the Styx Promenade with me." The holy land of my clan is still inconvenient for humans to enter and exit, and I will bring people with me then. Pick five dragon knights at the same time and give them to you, but remember, don't use your key on that person. Otherwise, no matter where you flee, I'll find you and kill you!" ”

"If you're talking about that person, it won't threaten my life. I promise, that key will never be opened. ”

Lily nodded in satisfaction.

Finally, when Lily is leaving, she warns him to be careful of Masen, one of the four princes of the empire. Because this sword lord is the person behind the bloody earl. Although Alan had expected to be able to summon Eric, and to invite Midian, one of the Ten Saints, he must be a big man. But hearing the name of the sword lord Masson, Alan was still quite shocked.

Now he only hopes that the Mr. Rhine from the imperial capital, his master will not be Masson. If it's hostile to Masson, then even better.

Allen's injuries recovered two days sooner than he expected, and on the day he was able to get out of bed, Lily left with her men. And from the Ark Harbor, there is constant bad news. Oban's condition was getting worse and worse, and in a private message from Baggins to him, the pharmacist bluntly said that Oban would not live for two months. Shadow energy had invaded his heart, now held back by Urban's own power and medicine. Under the invasion of shadow energy, Oban's organs will gradually fail, and finally it will not be able to prevent the arrival of death.

The process would be long and painful for Oban, and Baggins' personal opinion was that instead of living in such pain, it would be easier to take medication and commit suicide after dealing with it. Of course, for this construction of the master of apothecary, Alan Quan didn't see it.

After that, he received letters from Jora, and Oban had sent an invitation to marry the Marquis of Iron Spear, and it would probably not be long before he received a reply; In addition, Oban wanted Alan to return to Ark Harbor as soon as possible, and the Count had already begun to draw up a will, which he would need to sign as a witness.

Alan sent a letter back to Ruo, stating that he would be back in Ark Harbor in ten days at the latest. And before that, he has one more thing to do.

Lake Porttilly reflects the reflection of the castle, and in recent days, a gloomy mist has been floating over the unicorn castle, and the atmosphere is completely devoid of what it used to be. In the morning, the silence of the lake was broken by the gallop of the carriage, and two carriages with the jazz logo drove into the castle. Getting out of the carriage were the only two knights left in Daniel's territory.

They were invited to the castle's meeting hall, and along the way, they could see that the ruined parts of the castle were still being repaired. As they pass by, the two knights always exchange glances. The dilapidated area stretches from the outer fort to the inner fort, which shows how fiercely the castle was attacked that day. Eventually, they meet Barre, the leader of the unicorns, in the conference hall.

"Welcome, two sirs."

Barre exclaimed, "The two knights are invited here today to witness the birth of the new owner of this territory. ”

To the surprise of both knights, Daniel was killed in battle, and his son Onte was missing. Daniel's knighthood has not yet been renewed, why did a new owner suddenly pop up? One of the knights sneered, "This new master, could it be you, Captain Barry?" ”

"Of course not, I'm just a martial artist, how can I manage Lord Daniel's territory." Barre stepped aside and said, "In fact, it was the Viscount of Reims who was appointed by Count Rykede to accept Lord Daniel's domain. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a long laugh rang out from outside the hall. The door opened, and a man walked in first. He looked very young in his twenties. On the left and right sides of the young man, there was a column of guards draped in black and gold armor. Everyone is arrogant and invincible. Barre immediately greeted him, bowed to the young man, and said, "Lord Reims is the nephew of Earl Rykede, and I believe that under his management, this territory will be restored to life. ”

"Of course, if I don't even have this ability, how can Uncle Rykerd be relieved to let me manage this territory. Rest assured, I promise it will soon return to its former state, and Uncle Rykerd has decided that he will assist me in driving out the damned intruders. The young man said in high spirits.

Two sir, you look at me, I look at you. It was understood that the Earl of Rykerd had seen Daniel die in battle, and his son Onte had succeeded to the throne. It is a good time to take advantage of this emptiness to get involved in the ownership of this territory, and if anyone objects, it is tantamount to questioning Earl Rycke. These two knights were only at the bottom of Daniel's vassals, and how dare they object, and immediately put on a smile to express their approval of Lance's power.

Suddenly, there was a cacophony of voices outside the council, and Lance frowned. Barre stepped forward and said, "Probably that old thing is making trouble again, I'll just come and see it." ”

Barre was talking about the old butler, and when the Earl of Rycde intervened, the old butler strongly objected, and was imprisoned by Barry. Today Lance has officially taken over, and Barre has released him and ordered him to leave the castle. When Lance heard that it was the old butler who was making trouble, he frowned and said, "That old thing that is not dead and raised, just kill it." ”

Barre answered, and suddenly the door was blasted open, and several guards outside flew in screaming. Barre was stunned, the old butler didn't have this kind of power.
