Demon King's Mentor

"What's your name, sir?" Kastan asked him.

"Eric," Eric replied, "don't call me respectful."

"You look like a person with a story, aren't you going to tell me your full name?" Castan narrowed his eyes, "Draw out your sword, Eric, not everyone can be taken in here."

When Eric pulled out the sword at his waist, the blade exposed from the scabbard shone with the light of dawn.

Paladin?Kastan looked at him in surprise, but quickly denied this conclusion. The Paladin's sword emitted the holy light of God Lil, but this sword should only emit a halo from the material.But this is definitely a person of status, maybe a nobleman, Castan aimed at the sword, dropped the pistol at the same time, and pulled out the iron sword at his waist.The two of them shot almost at the same time. After only a few rounds, Kastan stopped the competition. Surrounded by mercenaries watching the excitement, Kastan looked into his green eyes: "Why don't you use a sword?"

Eric flicked his wrist: "This is a weapon I got by accident, and I haven't gotten used to it yet." He glanced at the cut on Kastan's iron sword. , Kastan's sword has long been cut in half.

"Your swordsmanship still needs to be practiced," Castan looked up at him, "I hope you don't cause trouble for us." After speaking, he turned and urged the soldiers to prepare breakfast.

Eric glanced around and saw Timon standing by a tree looking at him with curious eyes.Eric waved to him, and Timon walked over hesitantly: "I didn't expect to see you again, sir."

Ramir and Gilens also came over, the two boys have grown very tall now, looking at Eric's clothes and weapons enviously, Gilens said: "Sir, if you came back to ask for your last If you give us money, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Eric shook his head: "Although I'm not rich now, I'm not going to ask you for that money back."

"Then what are you here for?" Lamir's eyes were glued to the sword, "You don't look like a poor man who needs to risk his life to make money!"

"The world is unpredictable," Eric turned his eyes away, "there have been some changes at home."

"It doesn't matter," Gilens said to him, "I have been in this mercenary regiment for a year, and I am quite familiar with this kind of life. Since you have helped us, we will help you too! Although you look very It’s great, but it doesn’t seem to be used to the hard life here.”

"Thank you," Eric said, "if you can, don't call me honorifics, just call me Eric."

"Can you teach me swordsmanship?" Lamir finally couldn't help touching the sword, "I see that you are almost on par with Captain Kastan, maybe I can take you as my teacher!"

"That's right, that's right!" Timon also came over and looked at him enviously, "We can call you Teacher Eric."

Eric was stunned for a moment, his face became a little ugly, he waved his hand: "Sorry, I may not be able to teach you anything, please don't call me a teacher."

The three young men watched him turn away and thought he was a strange man.

As soon as Duke Samar arrived at the palace, he was buried by the complaints of the ministers. After seeing the scene of the confrontation between Piero and Estero that day, Lorian immediately announced that he would gather the most elite troops to go to the crusade.Now, the most prestigious mages in this country are looking for the specific location of Eastero. As soon as there is news, more than 1000 knights and mages will go out immediately.

But at this juncture, the army of the neighboring country Batana suddenly marched five kilometers on the eastern border. The ambassador sent by Lorian has not heard from him for a long time. All the ministers know that all countries are watching Rory's every move. .However, Lorian only dispatched a hundred soldiers to garrison the east, and did not give a clear attitude.

Although Duke Samar was anxious in his heart, he still pretended to listen to his complaints calmly when he saw Lorian, and aggressively asked him why he didn't invite himself.

The Duke knew that Lorian was still wary of him. Although the little prince Cachar had already been born, after all, Duke Samar was the third heir to the throne in the monastery's succession book, although he usually put on a nonchalant attitude. He travels frequently, but he also understands that it is very different from when his sister was alive.

"My wife got a treasure during the journey." Duke Samar put one of the duchess's dowry in a gift box and handed it to Lorian. "Elf white jade can resist the attack of all plant toxins. I think Ka His Royal Highness Shire has grown up gradually, and it is necessary to take more defensive measures."

Lorian seemed to like it very much. Such treasures are rare among the elves. There is only one piece the size of a fingernail in the royal family's treasure house, and this one is almost the size of a quail egg.

"You are too polite, Uncle." Lorian played with the piece of precious jade, "Would you like to stay here for a while? I am surrounded by short-sighted guys who don't understand my good intentions at all."

Duke Samar breathed a sigh of relief: "If Your Majesty has any troubles, I will be happy to help you out."

"Then do you think it's right or wrong for me to send so many people to attack Easteros this time?" Lorian looked at him.

The Duke looked straight into his deep blue eyes: "Your Majesty, what happened between you and Your Highness Estero?"

Lorian was silent for a while, as if thinking about whether he should answer this question, he said: "It is obvious that he has plans for the throne."

"I heard that you killed his maid." Duke Samar said, "I have seen that woman, His Highness Estero was very close to her. Your Majesty, why did you kill a woman?"

"Who told you?!" Lorian asked.

"There is no impenetrable wall in the palace," Duke Samar said. "When the news spread that Your Highness Estero tortured and killed your attendants and maids, this matter also followed."

Lorian wanted to get angry, but when he saw Duke Samar's eyes similar to those of his mother, he sighed again, and his tone became compromised: "Yes, that's right, that maid named Elada was killed by me. "

"Why?" asked the Duke.

Lorian gritted his teeth: "Because he had the intention to usurp the throne when Heilaud was critically ill!"

"As far as I know, His Royal Highness Estero was at his grandmother's house at that time..." The Duke raised his eyes to look at him.

"It's his mother, that shameless woman," Lorian stared at her. "She warned me that the throne might not be decided until the last moment."

The Duke nodded knowingly: "If she said that, it's no wonder you are angry."

"So I killed that maid to see if he really had the heart to rebel," Lorian said, "If he didn't, then I apologized to him, and it turned out that he was just as ambitious as I guessed. Home!"

"Your Majesty, perhaps a woman's life cannot be ended by apologizing?" Duke Samar looked at him. "Before God Lil, all lives are equal."

"Do you believe it?" Lorian looked at him, "If it's true, why are some people born to be kings, while others are born to be slaves?"

"Being a king or a slave is not decided by God Lil," Duke Samar looked at him, "it's decided by the ruler of this country. If the ruler of a country is enlightened enough, then all others are as good as he is." Free people are all equal and have the right to dominate their own lives. The Lier God I believe in is the God of Nature, and what Lier God gives us equally is natural life. Everyone's life has only one life in the natural law. The same time, but the bad nature of human beings made us create many obstacles for each other. This kind of obstacle was not created by God Lil. God Lil created the first human in the world and is no different from the human beings created now. .”

Lorian looked at him, unable to think of a rebuttal for a moment: "Can anyone surpass you in words, uncle?"

Duke Samar smiled: "I believe that somewhere in this world, there must be someone who can surpass me in words."

"You're so arrogant, Uncle." Lorian shook his head and smiled.Then he asked, "Do you have any good ideas for the eastern border?"

"Take back the army that attacked Eastero, and then send 500 people to drive the Batana army back to the border, and let the garrison of all borders be strengthened." Duke Samar said, "The army that attacked Eastero must not be taken back!" Luo Ryan said uneasily, "Catch him off guard when he panics! Otherwise, what if I call out the army and he takes the opportunity to show up?"

"Your Majesty," Duke Samar asked him, "please look at me, what is your purpose? As Lorian Widdell, you want to put Easteros to death no matter what the current situation is, or To protect the country with a king?"

"Of course as a king to protect the country's security!" Lorian replied.

"But now, as far as I know, His Royal Highness Estero has not taken any action recently." Duke Samar said, "And the eastern border has been invaded. As a king, how should we deal with this matter? Can you answer me, Your Majesty? ?”

Lorian was silent for a while, then waved his hand: "I understand, but Eastero..."

"Please send me to look for His Royal Highness Estero," Duke Samar said, "Since you still have concerns."

"No, no, you can't go, Uncle," Lorian shook his head, "Esteroll is not something a non-magic person like you can deal with."

"Your Majesty," said Duke Samar, "His Royal Highness Estero has slaughtered several paladins. No matter how powerful a mage is, he must be unable to stop him. But this time it was discovered that his mentor was sent by Archmage Piero." After that, didn’t His Highness Estero never appear again? Don’t His Majesty think that this is not a problem of spells, but a problem of inner tactics?” He smiled, “I think this matter should be handed over to someone who does not have spells. I am one of the few non-magic people among the nobles, and I am suitable for such an occasion."
