The Baron is dead!

That's why the bell rang!

"It's over!" Grimm suddenly jumped up in a hurry, "This time we're all done!"

"What's the end?" Lelin looked at him angrily and funny, "The baron is dead, this Palik is also dead, aren't you the lord here now?" Your Lord!"

Grimm turned around and yelled at her, "You know the! We killed Palik after the bell rang, and my uncle was already dead. According to the will, Palik was already a lord at that time!"

He shouted hoarsely and desperately, "That is to sayβ€”we just killed the lord!!"

Lelin, Grimm, and Tivedes all stared at Donghezi with bated breath, and the cool breeze on the mountain set off a terrible silence.

Dong Hezi spread his hands and said without being salty or light: "Then slip away." ”

Then he said to the stunned Grimm: "I killed the person, and when I leave, you can just put the blame on me." You're a mage, and I guess they won't dare to do anything to you. ”

But Grimm shook his head with a wry smile and said, "But if we share the spoils, we will definitely be regarded as accomplices! This kind of behavior will definitely be traced by those gods or prophetic spells! Those nobles who are dissatisfied with my uncle will definitely not let me go, because I don't know third-order arcane arts, and I am not a formal mage at all." They will unite with the church of Palik until I die!"

"Then come with us. Dong Hezi comforted: "If you drill into the deep mountains and old forests, can they still chase you to the ends of the earth?"

"Deep mountains and old forests?" Grimm shivered, living that kind of life of eating and sleeping in the open?

"yes. Dong Hezi was very "enthusiastic" and said: "Originally, I came here to find herbs to study my secret arts. Now that I know all about the herbs here, it's time to move to it to explore. Let's drill into the deep mountains and old forests, and build a stone castle to start again, which is also a beautiful thing. He said with a happy face, as if he was fine.

Grimm said hesitantly: "I~~ I may not be used to that kind of life. ”

Dong Hezi was not reluctant, thanked Tivedes, sent him away, and then turned to Le Lin and said, "Let's go and pack our things." By the way, divide the money as well. If Grimm really doesn't want to go with us, leave his share to him. ”

After speaking, the two returned to the stone castle together.

When she went upstairs, Le Lin asked a little sadly, "Just left?" This stone castle and that herb field were all built by you with great effort. Isn't it a shame?"

"It's a pity. Dong Hezi said calmly: "But if I don't leave, do I have to wait for someone else to come and cut my neck?" You see, I have killed two priests of gods, one of whom is a powerful god and the other is a lord. I guess there are a lot of people who want me to die. Maybe in a few days my avatar will appear on some bounty lists, circulating in taverns in various towns. So when it is broken, it is broken, and there is no pity. Because it's a pity that it's useless, it will only make you look ahead and think backwards, but you will miss the future. ”

With that, the two of them went to the alchemy room on the top floor, where no outsiders were allowed to enterβ€”including Lelin.

Dong Hezi pushed open the door with a strong medicinal smell, and a strong strange smell mixed with a violent spell aura rushed to his face.

It is a large semi-circular domed room, and in the center is a large pottery stove in the shape of a long pot more than one person high, which seems to be able to be flipped and shaken. The body of the furnace is painted with various patterns that look like pictures and non-words, and the brazier with noodles under it burns with an unquenchable magic flame. The curved walls were evenly distributed with eight parallel lines, and Le Lin knew that this was the "hexagram" that the druids often talked about.

Now the eight "hexagrams" all exude an extremely peculiar magical aura, powerful and peaceful. They all seemed to point to the large clay stove in the middle of the house, where there was a strange smell of herbs.

Le Lin just wanted to cover her nose to block the bitter smell, and suddenly found that her Nine Turns Pulse ** slowly started on its own, and her body was warm but not hot, soft but not soft, spreading an indescribable sense of comfort. It makes people want to throw themselves into it and never come out again. I couldn't help but inhale greedily.

But Dong Hezi didn't give her any more chance, and immediately recited the incantation, extinguished the flames under the furnace with one finger of his hand, and asked her to help the purple and black liquid everywhere, tidying up the steaming medicine residue full of roots and leaves, insects, and some messy things. This was the first time Le Lin had seen such strange things mixed together, and she looked at it curiously, and for a while she couldn't even care about the bitter medicinal smell and the strange touch of sticky sand.

Dong Hezi poured out the liquid medicine without hesitation, but carefully separated a part of the medicine residue and ordered Le Lin to collect it into a small jug.

Le Lin asked curiously, "What's the use of these things?"

"It can help the human body to enter into ferocity. Dong Hezi said while sorting out the remaining herbs in the room, "There are also these things in the medicine that you drank before. You take it down, I'm still useful. ”

Le Lin let out an "oh" and left, but her heart immediately developed a very strong interest in refining herbs.

The two of them spent half a day packing several large packages of important items, and when they came out, they found Grimm sitting in the corner of the wall.

Dong Hezi asked softly, "Decide whether to go with us or stay?"

Grimm looked up in a depressed mood and said, "Either let's go to Giffen City together." ”

"Giffin City?" Dong Hezi suddenly realized that Grimm was not an unassertive person, "is that the city where you studied the arcane?"

"Hmm. Grimm stood up, his face a little calmer: "Giffin City is in the Duchy of Clarence, so the people of the Duchy of Hereford can't manage there." As soon as I returned to Giffen, I could be sheltered by my teacher. If you want to kill me at that time, you will have to get the consent of the Mage Council first. I don't think as long as we don't explain the cause and effect clearly, the Master Society will not hand us over. After all, it was Palik himself who had bad intentions first. He paused and then said, "Didn't you also say that you wanted to see the high arcane? There are many high mages there. And I can introduce you to the teacher, with whom you can fully discuss the spell problem. ”

Dong Hezi thought about it again, then nodded and said, "That's fine, you go and pack your things." We'll leave tomorrow!"

He was about to turn around, when he suddenly turned back and said, "Oh, you see, we forgot something very important. Then he led them to a vertical hole like a well.

A warrior in armor was stuck in the half-man-deep ground, his face and eyes closed, as if he were dead. And there was a rustling sound below.

Dong Hezi said coldly: "Get up, I know you are pretending to be dead! You have such good equipment, the larva below can't bite through." You're lucky, you didn't get pulled down halfway. If I hadn't suddenly remembered it, I wouldn't have let you slip away for nothing?"

The soldier opened his eyes helplessly this time and begged for mercy: "You let me go, I can give you all your property - 40,000 gold coins! ”

Dong Hezi was about to reply, but he heard Grimm next to him ask the warrior below: "Listen to your accent like someone from the Duchy of Gloucester?"

"yes, yes. The warrior below seemed to have met a great acquaintance, and said with a smile on his face: "Our people there are warm and generous, honest and hospitable. If you let me go, you will be my great benefactor. If you go to the Duchy of Gloucester in the future, I will tell the folks to entertain you well. ”

"Hmph!" Grimm snorted, "Let your brothers kill us." Then he said to the Principality, "Don't trust the people of the Duchy of Gloucester, they are full of kindness and kindness when they face you, but as soon as you turn your back, they immediately take out their knives and stab them! They are the most untrustworthy, greedy, and irascible people I have ever met." ”

The warriors in the cave were so anxious that they shouted: "Don't listen to the nonsense of this boy who doesn't have any hair, our people there have been fighting against the invasion of centaurs for many years, so they all believe in Aric, the god of war." Definitely the most disciplined and trustworthy person. If you don't believe me, just look at the Creed of Arec, the god of war. Please, 40,000 gold coins. Kill me and there will be no more. ”

Dong Hezi looked at Grimm again, and he just snorted coldly: "I will suffer a big loss from them!

Dong Hezi glanced at the warrior below from the corner of his eye, and saw the fierce light in his eyes flash, and suddenly begged with a sad expression: "I swear to the god Aric that I will never lie to you! This time it was the damn priest who lied to me that there was a priest with an evil god who was here preparing to launch a conspiracy." I followed the teachings of Arec, and joined them in order to protect the good people of the earth! So I beg you to spare me, and I am willing to pay the price for my ignorance and rashness - to give forty thousand gold coins to make up for my collision with you. You see, that's a good idea. You'll have to think about it!"

Dong Hezi smiled: "This opinion is really good. It seems worth thinking about. So saying, he reached down and seemed to pull him up.

Grimm shouted urgently, "Don't believe him! They are all scheming and lying fellows, and they will be fooled if they are not careful!"

Dong Hezi's hand was still stretched out.

The warrior looked at the shadow of the big hand and smiled.

With a "clatter", the bones shattered, and the fingers violently turned into curved claws and plunged straight into the warrior's head!

His eyes widened in despair and he watched Dong Hezi speak slowly: "It's just, when you came to kill me, did you consider my opinion?"

The claws of the hand pulled violently, bringing out the Heavenly Spirit Cover and the white soft mud-like brain. Continued: "I don't have much to say about the enemy!"

Grimm shuddered.

Le Lin frowned slightly.

The town of Harmonville is chilly at night.

The old baron died, the new baron was killed by Master Donghezi, and the master was going to fly away. It seems that the town is about to be abandoned again. Some of them began to gather under the giant statue of the water elemental god outside the town, led by Frik, who began to pray in the bleak moonlight, and the muffled chant continued to be heard far away in the silent cold mountains.

A large red bat flew quietly into the town and headed for Bob Feth's house.

Dong Hezi knocked on the door of his house with the basic book in his hand.

The dark stone house was cramped and cold, and the cold wind blew in through some small cracks, making the faint flames flicker and flicker. Bob Faith's premature mother was mending a tattered garment with her rough hands, while his father looked six surprised and four panicked. I didn't know what to say, so I picked at my unkempt head before I said a sentence from my dry and cracked lips: "Please go and sit on the bed." ”

Indeed, there was not even a chair in this cramped hut, only to sit on the "bed" made of a wooden board and a few large stones.

The broken straw bed was uncomfortable to sit on, and the atmosphere in the room was dreary. Bob Feather's parents seemed to want to say something, but they didn't dare to speak with a look of fear on their faces.

"I'm afraid that I will be involved with the person who killed the lord?" Dong Hezi thought to himself: "Or are you afraid that after drawing a line with me, you will anger me?"

Maybe it's both.

So he didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Where's Bob Feather?"

"He went to the city of Lilux. Bob Faith's father cautiously said, "Help Pastor Flich build a black iron altar." I guess I'll be back in two days. ”

When Dong Hezi heard this, he had a bad premonition. Then he asked, "He~~ has been helping Frik with things." ”

"Yes, yes. They nodded vigorously.

"He~~ believes in the god of the water element?" asked Dong Hezi again.

They nodded awkwardly and reluctantly said, "Yes, yes." ”

Dong Hezi sighed secretly in his heart - he really became a believer in ghosts and gods.

In this way, he himself can be less implicated, and I will have less worries and troubles.

Originally, considering that he was too young to escape with him, he planned to leave these books in his hand for him to study. But now that he doesn't plan to be a "secret druid", he doesn't need to give it anymore.

So, he got up and said, "That's good, so I'll be relieved." In the future, there will be Frick to guide him, and he will become a priest in detail. You have a message for me, so that he can study hard and strive to get out of here and create a little career in the future. ”

Bob Faith's parents were slightly happy and happy for Dong Hezi's "good words", knowing that in such a poor place, there are only three kinds of people who do not go hungry and have a future. One is a robber, one is a knight under the nobility, and the other is a priest.

Dong Hezi sighed in his heart, got up and was about to leave. When he walked to the door, he couldn't help but pull out a book and handed it to them, saying, "This book contains the basic method of using the 'Remove Disease' spell in combination with herbs, you can pass it on to Pastor Flich for me." ”

The two of them asked suspiciously: "Then you~~?"

"I'm leaving here tomorrow and I don't know when I'll be back. Dong Hezi said slowly: "This book will be useful to her and to all of you. I still have something to pack, so I won't bother Friek. So please pass it on to her. ”

After speaking, he got up, and with a breath, he turned into a big red bat and flew into the sky, and then he disappeared into the night of his dream.

Tivedus opened the door and was amazed to see the Great Druid of the East Son visiting him with a large clay pot full of medicinal smell. He hurriedly invited him into the house, and beckoned his wife to meet the guests.

The sturdy and wide stone house covered the walls with planks and leather to block the cold wind that came in through the cracks in the stone wall. A tall flame burns inside the fireplace, filling every corner of the house with heat. And Tivedes' young wife was putting a baby to sleep.

The master didn't have any nonsense, and said directly: "I'm leaving tomorrow, and this pot of medicine will be left to you." Taking half a teaspoon a day can bring your body into the violent phase ahead of time. If it is not convenient to use in the near future, seal the mouth of the tank and bury it in the ground. I estimate that if it is tightly sealed, it can be stored for more than ten years without breaking. ”

Tivedes was pleasantly surprised to accept the gift, and suddenly asked, "Can this be given to children?" He pointed to his child and said, "I'm too old to go outside anymore." These pills were also wasted for me, so I wanted to save them for my son. ”

"Yes!" said Tohezi, "but it must be taken after he is eight years old, and the dose can only be a quarter of that of an adult." ”

"Hehehe. Tivedus smiled happily: "Then wouldn't he be a qualified martial artist in his teens?"

"Yes. Dong Hezi stepped forward and touched the baby's bones and said, "A promising martial artist." ”

Red bats traverse the town in the silence and cold of the night. A faint cold mist hung over the ground, but there was a faint scolding sound coming from Elsa's hut.

Grimm was brandishing his magic wand and beating Elsa, who was huddled in the corner: "Stinky bitch! Now that the adulterer is dead, see if you are still arrogant! Where is the look of looking up and looking down yesterday? Have you followed your adulterer to the kingdom of God?"

He whipped so hard that his face flushed with exhaustion. But the force of the attack became heavier and heavier each time, as if it was not a human being but a piece of rotten wood.

Aisha curled up in the cold corner with her head in her hands. Her eyes were dull, she didn't say a word, she didn't suffer, she didn't scold, she didn't complain. It was as if the empty shell of his soul had been removed, and he looked ahead without a look.

Grimm finally got tired, he stopped but gasped in disgust, still swearing in his mouth.

Aisha was still in a daze, as if she couldn't feel the large cyan bruises on her body at all. After a long time, she suddenly spoke with a crying voice: "You kill me." I don't want to live anymore. After speaking, I couldn't help but bury my head and sob, tears gushing out.

"! want to be martyred?!" Grimm said sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to be a chaste martyr!

"Kill me. Aisha continued: "Now all my hopes are gone, and I have to spend my whole life in this shabby and hopeless town. There will never be a gorgeous and beautiful garment to wear, only a rough and piercing wrap, there will never be a delicate jewel to use, only those clumsy farm tools, there will never be a soft cotton bed to sleep on, only these cold straw shops, you will not be able to eat a slice of meat in a year, you will not be able to make a carriage once in half your life, and you will live with a dirty face every day. Sweaty in the summer, cracked fingers in the winter, numb like the people around him, and then turned into dead old men and old ladies waiting to die. Is this my life? What's the point, what's the point?"

"I don't want to live my life like this!" she cried loudly, as if to vent the despair in her heart: "I don't want to live a life of poverty!"

She suddenly cried out hoarsely, saving Grimm's legs: "Kill me, I don't want to live! Let me die, let me go to the kingdom of the Lord of Eternity! I don't want to live so humbly and hopelessly!"

Grimm looked fierce and said viciously, "Okay, good, I'll send you to death!" After saying that, the incantation condensed the arcane energy, and a purple ball of light the size of a skull appeared in his handβ€”a magic bullet locked onto Elsa, ready to go!

Grimm suddenly breathed heavily, and tried to send out magic bullets several times, but somehow he couldn't do it.

Not because of soft-heartedness, but because ~~ because of a kind of "sympathetic" sadness!

Damn, how can you feel that way? He yelled at "bastard" in frustration. So repeatedly, still can't make a move at the last moment!

At this moment, Master Donghezi's voice came from the side: "Let's go, let's go." This is the place of her pain, and the place of your pain. Since you can't do it, let's get out of here. Keep yourself away from these afflictions. ”

He turned around and saw Master Dong Hezi standing at the door, beckoning to him, "Let's go, it's all over here." ”

"But she revealed your secret to Palik, and nearly killed you!" Grimm cried out, "Kill her, she's your enemy." ”

Dong Hezi looked at Aisha who was curled up alone, her eyes faintly glowed with two rounds of light blue brilliance, and after a long time he said, "No, she didn't mean to kill me." So not my enemies. ”

"Let's go," he whispered to Grimm, "get out of here, and it will get better in a moment." ”

The moonlit mountainside stone fort seemed lonely and lonely.

Lelin looked at this little stone castle reluctantly, as if she had returned to the day when she first arrived here - how lovely the sunlight outside the window was at that time.

She couldn't help but ask again, "Are you really going to burn it?" and maybe you can use it when you come back in the future. ”

"I don't destroy it, but someone destroys it!" Dong Hezi stood in front of the stone castle and sighed, "Those people will either demolish it or make it a place I don't like." Neither is what I want. Rather than being ruined, it is better for me to destroy it myself! ”

And behind them, a four-** carriage with a tent was parked at the door, but there were no horses in front of it!

Grimm struggled to move the gold coins and his own package inside, and kept muttering, "Why did you put those horses away?

Dong Hezi didn't speak, took out a thick wooden stick and threw it on the ground.

The stick stood up on its own, and it grew rapidly. After three or four breaths, he became a dwarf tree man about two people tall and as thick as a large water tank. It walked to the chariot, grasped it with a pair of large paws, and made itself a horse.

Grimm reminded, "It pulls the cart, it can't run fast!"

"Why are you running so fast?" said Toko, "it will be a few days before the news of Palik's death gets out, and we have enough time to slip away." What's more, although my treant is only as fast as a human trot, his movements are quite steady, and he can do it day and night. It's not going to be slow. Besides, do you want to spend time taking care of the horses along the way?"

"It's hers!" said Grimm, pointing to Lelin, as he hurried into the caravan.

Dong Hezi personally lit the firewood inside and outside the stone fort.

In the sky-high firelight, the dwarf tree man pulled a large caravan and gradually disappeared into the dark night.
