Kuria snorted coldly, and the power of the high-level demon emanated from his body. His first words made Yak's heart beat with fear: "Robin is dead!"
Yake asked in surprise: "How could it be? He was still drinking with me last night..."
"Not only Robin, I almost died too!" Kuria's eyes were cold, "I heard Robin say that he met you. Did you leak the news of my return to Bannak?"
"No! It's not me!" Yake was startled by the murderous aura emanating from Kulia, and quickly explained: "Please believe me, sir. I swear on the name of my father, Wack, and I will never reveal it to anyone!
"
Yake did not leak the news because he wanted to blackmail Robin so that he could enjoy free food and drinks every day.
"Have you heard about my return in the regiment?" Kulia asked again.
"No." Yak recalled.
Kuria looked like he was still injured. He covered his chest and coughed a few words: "That bastard Banneker must have blocked this news. He wants to kill me!"
"Master Bannak wants to kill you?" The Horned Demon felt something was wrong when he heard Bannak's name just now, but now he was shocked when he heard what Kulia said.
"That guy is planning a big thing. He drove me back to Xilang Mountain just because of this!" Kulia sneered: "Now you know about this, you will be the target of his death, Robin.
Just die in his hands."
Robin was killed by Banneker?
Yak was so startled that he broke into cold sweat: His contact with Robin was seen by the defense team, and Bannak would definitely not let him go. A peak high-level demon would kill him like this
The mid-level minions are as easy as squeezing an insect to death.
"Most of the people in the group have been bribed by him. If you tell others, you will die faster," Kulia pondered. "If you want to survive, there is only one way."
Kulia took out a letter and whispered a few words, and Yake nodded quickly.
"Don't try to peek at this letter. It has special magic. If you dare to open it in advance, I can know it at any time!"
"Don't worry, sir!" It was a matter of life and death. Yake swore another oath. He took the letter very carefully and put it in his clothes bag.
"Very good, from now on, you are my personal guard. You cannot return to the stronghold tonight, otherwise your life will be in danger." A money bag appeared in Kulia's hand, "There are thirty black crystal coins here, you take them first
Let the three of you go and stay at the Hualou Hotel opposite. Remember, stay here for the whole night and don't look for women or cause trouble under any circumstances! As long as we can accomplish what we do tomorrow, not only can we all save our lives.
, and the remaining money is all yours!"
Yake was overjoyed and opened his wallet. It was indeed filled with real black crystal coins. He immediately took out three of them, glanced at the bag reluctantly, bowed, and turned to leave.
At the entrance of the alley, Kulia kept watching the Horned Demon walk into the hotel opposite, and his appearance began to slowly change, turning into that of a dark elf. Of course, this was not his true face.
"The wind is about to rise." The dark elf stroked his long, slightly swaying hair, looked at the twin moons in the sky that were gradually covered by dark clouds, and said lightly.
the next day.
The weather was sunny, with relatively rare strong winds blowing from time to time, which seemed to indicate that this was an unusual day.
Today is the 610th birthday of the town elder Kander. The town deliberately created a joyful atmosphere, but the previous vigilance has not been relaxed.
Reputable people in the town came to the mayor's mansion early to congratulate him, such as Captain Ross, the deputy captain of the Scarlet Guards, Banneker, and others.
Laiya Town is a good place. Unknowingly, Old Kander has served as the mayor here for nineteen years. Although the prosperity here is far from comparable to that of the prosperous Imperial Capital, it is better to look at those prominent families with their tail between their legs than in the Imperial Capital.
The expression of a high-ranking official is worse than that of a local bully in this remote town.
Although Leia Town is occupied by the Shadow Empire, the other country no longer sends someone to serve as the mayor every fifty years as it did in the past, but is directly appointed by the Shadow Empire. However, the mayor's term is shorter. Even if there is no fault, the mayor is full.
There are only twenty years, unless you can make special achievements, you can be re-elected. Now there is only one year left before the term of Old Kander. The discovery of the magic pomegranate fruit can be regarded as a God-given opportunity. Old Kander is a veteran family card of the Shadow Empire.
The veteran of the Slee family, with rich experience, learned by chance that the upper echelons of the empire attached great importance to the magic pomegranate fruit. Although he didn't know why, old Kander would never be stupid enough to inquire about it. He only needed to know about this thing.
As important as it is.
Sure enough, as soon as the news was reported to the Imperial Capital through the family, the Imperial Capital responded immediately. The dispatched commissioner was already on the way and was expected to arrive in the next few days. The more times like this, the less likely any mistakes should be made, otherwise the merit will become a serious crime.
, happy events can also turn into mourning. So Old Kander deliberately doubled the defense force of Lulay Valley.
Looking at the congratulatory guests arriving in the hall one after another, Old Kander seemed to be in a good mood - of course, if the Zi Yanxin ring had not been stolen, this mood would have become even better. Zi Yanxin was a man from the imperial capital three hundred years ago.
What was taken from the hands of a down-and-out noble can enhance a man's function. More importantly, it is said to be the key to unlocking an ancient treasure. Unfortunately, its secrets have not been understood for three hundred years. For the old and weak Laokan
For De Lai, that "enhancement" was used frequently. Ever since this treasure was lost, old Kander couldn't find a replacement for a while, and he couldn't be intimate with women. He felt really resentful in his heart.
Although Naliyi has been refusing to confess, it is estimated that she gave it to the adulterer Lennon. Lennon seemed to have evaporated and no trace was found in the town. For this reason, Lennon, who has always been close to Lennon,
The Scarlet Guards specifically made a clarification, drew a clear line with Lennon, and even sent members to assist in the pursuit of Lennon and participate in the town's defense work as a good gesture.
Zi Yanxin must be recovered, but the most urgent matter at present is the magic pomegranate fruit. Visitors from the Imperial Capital are expected to arrive in Laiya Town in the next two days. The matter of Lennon and Zi Yanxin should wait for this important matter.
After it's settled, we'll investigate again.
Old Kander smiled and greeted the guests one by one. When passing by the magic crystal furnace in the hall, he smelled the special fragrance emanating from it, took a deep breath, and showed a contented expression.
This...is Longjiexiang? I had completely forgotten about this, but it seems that some wife wanted to please her and took the initiative to order the servants to order it. She did a good job. It should be...the most considerate Mary, but it's a pity.
Zi Yanxin was lost by this bitch Naliyi, otherwise I could go there tonight to "feed" the little wife in the sixteenth room.
Incense is one of the hobbies of the upper-class nobles in the devil world. The higher the quality of the incense, the better it can show their status. Old Kander likes this method very much, especially in such a remote town, it can show to the country bumpkins that he is elegant and distinguished.
Different aristocratic tastes, especially on such special days.
I, Old Kander, am a high-class nobleman from the imperial capital! The true taste of aristocrats cannot be imitated by these country bumpkins!
Seeing the guests next to him who were surprised by the fragrance, Old Kander's sense of superiority and satisfaction became even stronger.
"Thank you very much for coming." Old Kander stood up and began to deliver a speech.
After finishing this long speech, everyone took their seats and prepared to start the banquet. Someone hurriedly came to whisper a few words to Ross, the captain of the defense team. Ross frowned and glared at Banner opposite him, which made Banner glare.
Ke is baffled.
Old Kander said: "Ross, what happened?"
Ross stood up and said: "Lord Mayor, the Scarlet Guards fought with our defense team at the Charming Flower Hotel, and even injured team leader Kuro."
Old Kander looked at Banneker, the deputy leader of the Scarlet Guards, with displeasure. Banneker quickly bowed slightly to Old Kander: "Don't worry, mayor, I'll handle this matter right away."
Bannak walked out of the lobby and hurried to the Charming Flower Hotel, where he saw a mess. Several members of the town's defense team fell to the ground and groaned. Captain Kuro was tied naked to a chair, with blood on his body.
There were a lot of scars. The troublemakers were indeed members of the Scarlet Guards, about twenty of them.
"Stop!" Banneker shouted angrily. This period of time is unusual. He also specifically ordered the members not to cause trouble, but these bastards refused to listen and caused trouble at this time!
"Lord Banneker!" As expected, the members stopped and saluted.
Bannak grabbed one of them and gritted his teeth: "You bastards, why did the defense team conflict? Have you forgotten my orders?"
The group member was trembling with fear and hurriedly explained: "This Kuro... was robbing a woman with Lord Kuria. It was Lord Kuria who ordered us to guard the hotel and wait until this guy enters Feilian's room..."
"Kuliya?" Bannak was greatly surprised: "Why did he come back? Where is he now?"
"Probably just after the master left, Master Kulia returned to the stronghold. He said that he will be responsible for all consequences. If the master comes, you can go to the stronghold to find him."
Bannak knew that Kulia was having an affair with Feilian, the proprietress of the Charming Flower Hotel, and that Feilian had affairs with several men, including Kuro. Unexpectedly, Kulia just went to Xilang Mountain and actually ran away again.
Come back and secretly meet this woman! What's even more disgusting is that you actually cause trouble at this time just to be jealous!
Since it was Kulia's order, it was not easy to punish these members, but if he really wanted to make things worse, Kulia could not afford the consequences! The situation is tense now, and he must warn that idiot!
"You all get out of here! No one is allowed to stay here!" Banneker kicked the group member to the ground, ordered everyone to evacuate, and hurried towards the bloody stronghold.
At the same time, a grand birthday banquet was being held in the mayor's mansion. The episode just now did not affect the joyful atmosphere. However, just a while later, someone else came hurriedly to report to Ross in a low voice, and Ross looked surprised.
He didn't dare to hide it, so he stood up and reported: "Lord Mayor, I just received a report that the main force of the Scarlet Guard Group is concentrated and heading west. It has passed the checkpoint in the west of the town. The target is most likely Lulei Valley!"
Everything else can be ignored. The Lulay Valley is the heart of old Kander. He was shocked at the moment: "Ross, take people to see it immediately. If they want to enter the Lulay Valley, they must stop it!"
"Yes!" Ross knew that the mayor was very nervous about the Luray Valley, so he immediately left the table and hurried out.
Old Kander was restless and was no longer in the mood to hold a birthday banquet. He slapped the table and immediately fell into pieces. He gritted his teeth and said, "Bannak must have deliberately left just now to cause trouble! Damn the Bloody Guards! What on earth do you want to do?"
