Beasts contend

Edward didn't stay for long, but he left a group of people behind Fan Dong to protect him secretly.In fact, in Fan Dong's capacity, he should have been accompanied by relevant personnel for protection. For example, Vincent and Phil were escorted by Deputy Commander Donald when they went out for training.It's just that this trip was arranged by Kaixi, and the person in charge of the escort was replaced by someone from the Presbyterian Church, who never showed up in front of Fan Dong.

Fan Dong slept more soundly after realizing this.

While Fan Dong was sleeping soundly, a lot of news had spread from this wilderness to all parties.Naturally, the elders were the first to know about Fan Dong's changes in the process of killing Jiao. The elders who had complained about Kaixi and Fan Dong's closeness did not say anything more after knowing Fan Dong's strength.

It's really amazing to be able to use the strength of the first stage and the second stage to cooperate with the high-level powerhouse to kill the evil dragon!

Some people in the capital are happy and some are worried.

And in the woods not far away, a person sat quietly on a tree with his eyes closed.He has the same hair color and facial features as Fan Dong, and also carries a longbow behind his back. He is actually Prince Jacob, who is usually elusive.Now that he has accepted Fan Dong as a student, he certainly won't let Fan Dong go into danger alone.No matter what the situation in Eirren Plain was, he was sure to bring Fan Dongping back safely.

Prince Jacob looked at the black eagle flying towards the sky, his eyes were changing.Edward really cares about Fan Dong, he even stops to see Fan Dong during the march, but will this kindness last long?One of them is the supreme commander of the military department, and the other is the prince of the empire. I am afraid that many people do not want to see them unite.

In their position, there is no way to consider whether they like it or not.

Moreover, Edward's weapon is "Prisoner God".Will that famously dangerous sword be a variable between them in the future?

Prince Jacob closed his eyes slightly, blocking out thousands of thoughts.Hopefully, they can be the exception.

At dawn the next day, Fan Dong had already woken up.Others also came out of the tent to wash up one after another. The little guide hummed a song and learned how to make breakfast with Dia. He was very interested in Dia’s craftsmanship. The Maquis love adventure, music, food, and all the good things in life He practiced knife skills with Diya, and carved the radishes into thin and beautiful flowers, and placed them on the snacks as decorations.

Even though they were away from home, what they enjoyed was no less than the breakfast in any noble home.

Stopping and stopping like this, they finally entered the Ellen Plain two days later.There are endless wheat fields on the plain. Since the summer is seven years long, they have enough time to store grain. Years are long, and there are many civilians who cannot survive.At this time, the role of the large granary in the Ellen Plain is reflected. The water network is densely covered on the Ellen Plain, and the boats here are all with wheels. Every winter, some people use thunder elephants to drag on the frozen river Large ships transport food all over the place.

The land is reassuringly fertile.

What kind of person is Lei Heng who controls this plain?

Fan Dong asked: "How long will it take to get to Ellen City?"

The little guide said: "Hurry up, Your Highness, we can see the city of Ellen after passing through the village ahead." He looked at the purple ears of wheat in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, "Earl Leiheng is really amazing, Since Earl Leihen came to the Plain of Ellen, our wheat has grown better and better, and the highest quality purple wheat is grown in many places. Your Highness, we can buy some freshly made purple bread in the village ahead. They are all made of fresh purple wheat, fragrant and sweet, with a little crispy feeling, very delicious."

Fan Dong and his party turned out of the wheat field, and the smoke from the village's cooking appeared in front of them.The air is filled with the aroma of bread, sweet and inviting.Looking up, many workers are putting layers of purple wheat bread on the mule cart. The color is natural purple and made of natural purple wheat. They are neatly arranged and steaming.A child was greedy, and sneakily reached out to grab one, but was immediately slapped hard by the sharp-eyed adult on the back of his hand, and stood aside sobbing with red eyes and puckered mouth.

Fan Dong went forward and bought a whole basket of purple bread, and each of them shared two, and the rest were given to those hungry children.The children happily took them to the spring to drink. The little guide explained to Fan Dong after seeing the spring in the village: "This is the unique 'Gulu Spring' in the Eerlun Plain. The water quality is very good and very sweet. , Your Highness can drink a little."

There is a spring eye in the middle of the Gulu Spring, which is bubbling. The surrounding spring water is extremely clear, and it looks very comfortable on this hot day.Fan Dong fetched water, and sat on the nearby grass with the children, eating bread, looking like a half-grown child.Lu Bin and Bowen were a little disdainful at first, but after seeing Kathy sitting next to Fan Dong generously, they could only sit down helplessly.

Ever since she made friends with this Highness, Kathy has long since lost her noble demeanor.However, this seems to be good, the cool afternoon breeze, the bright sunshine, the emerald green grass, the gurgling sound of springs, the chirping voices of children - the exhaustion along the way seems to be swept away at this moment.

Such ease was something they had never experienced before.

Is it because their situation has improved?Maybe yes, since they won the rookie competition, their status in the family has also increased.Like this time when they came out to do missions, they all received the full support of their families, and there was no need to say anything about money.It's just that neither Lubin nor Bowen can deny what the more important reason is - it is Fan Dong who is being watched by Kathy and chatting with the child.

Rubin and Bowen looked at each other, feeling a little dazed.

He also didn't make a good choice, Kathy said.where are they?Thinking of the other two princes, Rubin and Calvin felt a sudden shock in their hearts.I have to say that although Fan Dong is a little more troublesome, he is still much better than his two elder brothers. At least he is not as hypocritical as Wen Sen, nor is he as impulsive as Phil.

Fan Dong didn't have time to take care of Lu Bin and Bowen's mood. After finishing the freshly baked purple bread, he patted his belly with satisfaction: "I'm so full."

Kathy was about to say something when she heard commotion from the village.The children with the sharpest ears jumped up and said to Fan Dong, "It's Mrs. Betsy! It's Mrs. Betsy!" Their voices were a little joyful.Because Fan Dong gave them bread, they already regarded Fan Dong as "one of their own", dragged Fan Dong to the edge of the wheat field, and motioned Fan Dong to stick his head out with them to see the situation in the village.

Mrs. Betsy is a young and beautiful woman. On her shoulder stands a white sable. She is so small that she doesn't look like a spirit beast.This Mrs. Betsy obviously came here often, and the villagers all smiled warmly at her when they saw that she was not at all reserved.

Fan Dong quickly remembered the origin of Mrs. Betsy, she was the "beloved wife" of Earl Leihen.In fact, she was the second wife of Earl Leihen, and the eldest son of Earl Leihen was the same age as her, that is to say, Earl Leiheng was thirty years older than her.However, the traces left by the years on the martial artist are very small. Although Earl Leiheng is nearly 60 years old, he still looks very young, and he is a good match for Mrs. Betsy.

Mrs. Betsy doesn't have much melancholy, and it seems that married life should be happy.She smiled and asked the villagers some questions, and then she personally picked out some bread and sent it to Earl Leiheng.It turns out that most of the bread in this village is prepared for the army, no wonder it looks so formal.

Mrs. Becky finished explaining earnestly, as if sensing something, she raised her head and looked in the direction of Fan Dong.

The moment she saw Fan Dong, Mrs. Becky was a little surprised.Of course, she quickly suppressed the surprise.

Mrs. Betsy said: "Your Highness Colin, have you arrived?" Her voice was very cold.

All eyes were on Fan Dong.

Fan Dong suddenly remembered some memories that he had forgotten.Becky, who was still a girl at that time, stared at him with tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful—yes, Colin Lane seemed to have done something very bad. He took Mrs. Becky’s powerful spirit beast out to play, and someone borrowed it The machine killed it.When Becky realized that something was wrong and came to her, her spirit beast was already on the verge of death, and died soon - without this powerful support, Becky's strength plummeted, and she had to consider getting married early.

No one expected that Betsy had agreed to the marriage proposal of the Earl of Leghorn, who was almost as old as her father.

This choice is full of grievances, blaming myself, Fan Dong, and her family who are pressing her every step of the way.Yes, Becky must hate him in her heart, but he is His Majesty's favorite prince, so she can't even hate him openly.Who told him he was a member of the royal family?

Although Fan Dong has the memory of Colin Ryan, he can't remember many things at all, such as the part about Becky, if he hadn't met Becky, he would definitely not have remembered these things.His throat was astringent. No wonder Colin Ryan's situation would become more and more difficult. It turned out that so many seeds of resentment had been planted long ago.Thinking of the gentle, beautiful but tough girl in his memory, Fan Dong walked out of the wheat field and called out in a low voice, "Sister Becky."

Mrs. Becky was stunned when she heard this address, her eyes fell on Fan Dong's face.She has been friends with Catherine since she was a child, and she has seen Vincent not infrequently, and she also often sees the boy in front of her.This young man was pampered and grew up. He has a spoiled temper, but his mouth is very sweet. He calls Becky's sister Becky's sister all day long.If it weren't for that, she wouldn't let him take the spirit beast out to play carelessly——

Unexpectedly, what awaited her partner was a fatal killing.

At that time, Wen Sen repeatedly apologized for Fan Dong, and the resentment in her heart could not be appeased, and she never wanted to see Fan Dong again.Looking back now, Wen Sen's apology clearly confirmed the fact that Fan Dong killed her spirit beast, and made her feel suspicious of Fan Dong.She angrily chose to marry Earl Leiheng, her parents were very sad about this, and they were even more dissatisfied with Fan Dong.

Looking back now, the person who planned to kill her spirit beast was more like Vincent who was desperately apologizing.Based on this incident, he used her to win over Earl Leiheng, and made her family hate Fan Dong, which is really a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Mrs Betsy felt bitter.She was just a pawn from beginning to end, an insignificant pawn, how many things has Earl Leiheng done under the guise of loving her over the years?She enjoys the envious eyes of everyone in Ellen City, but only she knows how her life is going.

Facing Fan Dong's apologetic and sad eyes, Mrs. Betsy knew that the boy who didn't understand the world had grown up.Yes, after so many years, it's time to grow up.He should also see clearly what kind of person his brother is, right?

Mrs. Becky was still indifferent: "Will His Royal Highness Colin come to my house for a sit?"

Fan Dong looked at Mrs. Betsy without the slightest enthusiasm, and also got out of the emotion just now.He smiled politely like a little gentleman: "Okay, I'm sorry to bother sister Betsy."

The servants following Mrs. Betsy looked at Fan Dong without a trace, as if they were thinking about how to return to life after returning.

Mrs. Betsy got into the carriage, Fan Dong and Kaixi glanced at each other, got into their own car, and followed Mrs. Betsy into the city.

Earl Leihen's mansion was very beautifully repaired. After entering the gate, there was a wide garden with a statue of Marshal Ellen standing in the center.

This is the origin of the name of the Ellen Plain. Marshal Ellen was the supreme commander of the military department in the early days of the empire. He was in charge of the army of the whole country, and his authority was even greater than that of the king.He is not only a good fighter, but also very good at government affairs. He managed the "big granary" of Ellen Plain. Erlen Plain", and finally the most fertile Erlen Plain grabbed this name, which has continued to this day.

Fan Dong stroked his chin, and thought about it with a smile: "I don't know if there will be so many places competing to use my name in the future."

Kathy: "..."

Dia said sincerely: "There must be. Didn't Duke Hoborg want to name the 'Plain of Death' after His Royal Highness last time? It's just that you don't want to, Your Highness."

Fan Dong originally said that, but when he heard Di Ya cite an example, his scalp went numb.This kind of thing is too shameful, so don't imagine it, he is not that kind of legendary figure!He just wants to live his little life comfortably.

Fan Dong said, "I still don't want it."

The little guide was a little interested, and pestered Dia to ask what was going on on the Death Plain.Dia vividly talked about the miracle of the Death Plain to the little guide, and his tone was vivid, as if he was there at the time.Rubin and Bowen couldn't help looking at Kathy who was actually there, but found that Kathy didn't speak up to refute.

Is it really that magical?

Is it really possible for such a thing as overnight rejuvenation?

Compared with Rubin and Bowen's suspicion and wavering, the little guide firmly believed in what Dia said.The Maqi tribe has good eyesight. After finding a place where he could avoid the mountain torrent, he stared at the place where the evil jiao was without blinking. He could clearly see the process of the old man and Fan Dong working together to kill the jiao.If there was only the matter of killing Jiao, he could still convince himself that it was just a coincidence, but after hearing about the death plain, the little guide became more and more sure that Fan Dong was a legendary figure, he possessed the power of Zhu Yong, and could resonate with the spirit of the forest , is the messenger chosen by the God of the Earth!

The Maqi people are the best historians. They have traveled from south to north all their lives, in order to find legendary people who can follow their lives, and record their epic experiences into history with their own pens.

Now, he has found it!

The little guide looked at Fan Dong excitedly.

Sure enough, he did not choose wrongly, their Highness is indeed a very remarkable person!

Everyone followed Fan Dong into the earl's mansion with their own thoughts.Mrs. Becky entertained them in the open-air teahouse and asked about Fan Dong's experiences along the way.Fan Dong didn't hide anything, and told about the encounter with Jiao.

Mrs. Betsy looked indifferent, and did not defend herself.Earl Leiheng wanted the spirit wood in her name. As for whether he wanted the thousand-year-old kind, Earl Leiheng did not specify in any official documents. No one knew how many thousand-year-old spirit wood he had obtained and how much he had released. Evil Jiao.

The atmosphere is a bit chilly.

Fan Dong didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and drank tea calmly.After a long silence, it was reported that Earl Leihen had returned.

Fan Dong turned his head and saw Earl Lei Heng striding into the tea hall.He was tall and handsome, and he looked only in his thirties, not at all like someone much older than Mrs. Betsy.

When he saw Fan Dong, his expression was not enthusiastic: "His Highness Ke Lin is here?"

Fan Dong said: "Yes, Earl Leiheng. I came here with Kathy and the others to do a mission, and I happened to meet Sister Becky."

Earl Leiheng stared at Fan Dong for a while, and said, "I don't know what task Your Highness is going to do? I can send someone to assist you."

Kathy said: "Earl Leihen was joking. The mission of the academy cannot rely on other people's assistance. His Highness never even brought a knight here."

Earl Leiheng said "Oh" with a sneer on his face: "So those people around the Earl's Mansion were not brought by you?"

Kathy was silent.

Earl Leiheng didn't hide his dislike for Fan Dong, and commented very bluntly: "Pampered and spoiled."

Mrs. Betsy lightly grasped Earl Leghorn's hand.

Earl Leiheng said: "His Royal Highness Vincent was already busy working for the empire when he was your age." Judging from his tone, Earl Leiheng's admiration for Vincent was sincere.

This Earl of Leiheng is a little different from Fan Dong's imagination.

It's amazing how straightforward his temper is.

Fan Dong decided to report directly: "I don't know Earl Leiheng, do you know about the evil dragon's existence?"

Earl Leiheng's expression turned serious, and he looked at Fan Dong.

Fan Dong took out a bright crystal nucleus from the storage ring. It was of a very high grade and could be distinguished from other crystal nucleus at a glance.And the color is brand new, it looks like it has just been dug out.He looked at Earl Leiheng: "This is left to me after an old gentleman killed the evil dragon, which proves that the evil dragon really exists. You—"

Kaixi stretched out her hand to hold Fan Dong, signaling him not to speak further.

Fan Dong shook his head at Kai Xi.

He could see that the Earl of Leiheng in front of him was by no means the one who blindly followed Vincent as rumored.This matter, I am afraid there is something inside!

Fan Dong said: "You knew about the existence of the evil dragons from the very beginning, and you released them on purpose?"

Earl Leihen didn't speak.

Fan Dong repeated what he told Mrs. Betsy, and looked up at Earl Leihen's eyes: "If they don't evacuate in time, the whole town will die in the flash flood."

Earl Leiheng said: "So what?" Earl Leiheng looked at Fan Dong, "It's just a few commoners, so what if they die?"

Fan Dong was startled.

That's right, this is what most nobles think, but it's just some commoners, what's the big deal?What does it matter in a small town where even the mayor and the mayor's son can't get a baronetship?He came to question Earl Leiheng for such a "small matter", which seemed to others to be the most stupid.

Although the Earl of Leiheng has clearly stood on Vincent's side, he is still the most important minister of His Majesty the King. He is stupid to offend Earl of Leiheng for such a "small matter", right?

Fan Dong straightened his back and looked up at Earl Leiheng: "The common people are also the citizens of the empire. Even if you really need to take the thousand-year spirit wood, you should let them evacuate first."

Earl Leiheng said: "How do you know that I didn't let anyone evacuate?" He sneered and retorted, "I have already recorded where the wood sent is more than a thousand years old, and I also found high-level powerhouses in time to kill the evil dragons. .Maybe it’s because the town you encountered didn’t do enough to evacuate themselves. What can I do if they want to kill themselves?”

Fan Dong fell silent.They really knew too little, and they were just passing by. If you think about it carefully, there is indeed such a possibility—after all, the old mayor's son is so incompetent, it is indeed possible that he will not be able to organize and evacuate the people.

In this era, it is very normal to sacrifice some people's interests and even their lives in order to obtain a certain treasure.

That's why Earl Leihen dared to admit it, and dared to do it openly, because his contribution to the empire gave him enough rights to do so—even if he just gave it to his wife as an excuse.

Fan Dong felt confused for a moment.What he wants is an ordinary and stable life like in another era, but this "ordinary" and "stable" is originally built on the strict and cruel hierarchy.

In fact, no matter which era, strength, status, and money are important conditions for determining what kind of life you can live, but everything is more cruel here.

Because if you don't have any of the three, your life is in someone else's hands.Even if you are gently pinched to death, no one will feel sorry for you.

The terminally ill old mayor desperately used the forbidden technique, just to get the tribesmen to evacuate the town - but when it came to Earl Rahen, it just turned into an understatement of "so what if you die".

Yeah, so what if you die?

Who told you to be weak.

Do the weak deserve to die?

Then when a strong enemy comes, will their Ryan Empire only get the evaluation of "so what if they die"?Fan Dong said: "I apologize for my unreasonable accusation, we still have to complete the mission of the academy, so I won't bother you, goodbye."

After speaking, he really didn't want to stay any longer, turned around and left.

Kathy and Lubin looked at each other and followed quickly.

Earl Leiheng looked at the gentle and pleasant Mrs. Betsy, paused, and patted the back of her hand: "Betsy, go and rest."

Mrs. Betsy smiled at Earl Leghorn, then turned and went back into the house.

Earl Leihen looked at Mrs. Betsy's back for a while, then put on his gloves again.He looked in the direction of the gate, thinking of the little Highness who left without looking back.

This temperament, this temper, and the ignorance and innocence of unwillingness to recognize reality are somewhat similar to Peter Ryan back then.

Unexpectedly, Peter Ryan, who had already lost all his vigor in the past, would actually raise such a son.

Unfortunately, it's Peter Lane's son.

At the same time, countless dark clouds are hanging over the capital.

In the study room, His Majesty the King's hands trembled slightly, he stood up abruptly, his eyes were like knives, and he coldly gouged the person kneeling on the ground.At this moment, Wen Sen came in, and was startled when he saw the kneeling person on the ground, and quickly asked, "Father, this is—"

His Majesty the King clenched his fists and called out the name of the man on the ground: "Phil Lane!"

His Majesty's sudden outburst of anger made Vincent's ears ring.He stared blankly at His Majesty the King, then at Phil, who was kneeling, not understanding what happened.

Phil straightened his back, with red eyes, and said slowly: "Yes, I begged Uncle Leihen to help me."

"I begged Uncle Lei Heng to help me get the dragon bones."

He knelt there upright, not feeling that he had done anything wrong.

He said: "Using the dragon bone as a guide can bring the dead back to life. I want to save my mother—my father, I want to save my mother."

"It's all because my mother is gone, so our three brothers are like this." He raised his head and said the most innocent words in the world, "As long as my mother is still here, our three brothers will always be as good as before. Vincent Lane It's my brother, Colin Ryan is my brother, we are the most enviable brothers in the world."
