Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

king?

When Frank was called that for the first time, he still felt like he was dreaming, either a dream or a beautiful dream, or a dream—illusory, not real...

Who could have imagined that being the son of a woman once known as the Free Whore Branch would one day be the sovereign of all those who had reviled him?What kind of monarch will he be?Even Frank himself didn't know it.

When Frank walked towards the throne, the former king's queen Sophia held his hand, the archbishop Candiboya waited for him holding the crown, and behind him was Prince Zoe, and Prime Minister Shelp Mandry, All were noble strangers.Frank didn't know and didn't trust any of them.

Putting on the crown, sitting on the throne, and wearing gorgeous and heavy robes, Frank felt that at this moment he was colder than his previous homeland.

Archmage Bolivi learned of the news of the death of King Hill VI on the border of Mangtan. He sighed, and at the same time he was surprised to find that what he felt first was not sadness, but a sigh of relief. I'm continuing to endure that painful torture.It should be said that the only regret is not being able to see that child for the last time, right?But another younger child sat on the throne, an ordinary boy who had never received a king's education.Plavix didn't know whether it was good or bad for Mang Tan.

Moreover, he was on the border not because he wanted to leave Mangtan, but because he had already completed his mission and was about to return to Mangtan.Before Plavix left Mangtan, everyone thought that he was undertaking a difficult task that was almost impossible to complete.Because no one thought that the Qika Empire, which had been slapped heavily in the mouth, would be willing to eat this bitter fruit and trade with Mangtan.In fact, up to now, there is no news about the corresponding military rewards and punishments for the defense of Blackstone Castle, not only because of Hill VI's illness, but also because of the high-level turmoil.

Mangtan has struggled in adversity for more than 500 years. The situation in the country has indeed improved a lot in recent decades, and the bad terrain around Mangtan has become the strongest barrier to protect Mangtan and prevent incoming enemies. Almost as long as you defend Blackstone Fort, Mangtan is safe.The result of this is that a trend of thought that does not think about making progress began to grow in the upper class of Mangtan.It's not obvious now, but if he doesn't try to improve it, Mang Tan will die of his own comfort within a few decades.

At this time, the old king passed away and the new king ascended the throne. Although the magicians did not believe in the existence of gods, but at this time, Polivi looked at the sky and really felt a hint of fate, but this hint is true for Mang Tan. Whether it is good or bad, it is not clear yet.

However, the news brought back by Plavix is ​​definitely the best.

Qika agreed to trade magic crystals with Mangtan, and even agreed to trade directly with Mangtan without going through the Principality of Kados or any neighboring country.Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Polivi could imagine the astonished face of the envoy of the Principality of Kados who was crying from Chika.All thanks to the commander of the coalition forces, Todd.This guy who dreamed of victory at the last moment, but became a prisoner, should still be holding his victory party in Qika——Qika hasn’t fought a big battle for many years, and they will be very happy if there is a war hero. Happy.

As for why the loser became the winner?Anyway, those who died were all coalition forces. Todd and his guards totaled less than 5000 people, and there were more than 400 people who were taken prisoner. Mang Tan was very happy to release these people.And Todd and his family are also very happy to use Todd as life, plus a victory that can gain fame and prestige, in exchange for a few words for Mangtan on the upper level of Chika.As for the more than 2 dead and more than 3 prisoners of war of the coalition forces?Who are those people?At least Todd's family has no connection to them.

As for the in-law relationship between the Duchy of Kados and Chika... the son of the emperor who married the daughter of the Duke, the great lords have nothing to do with the rural duchy of Kados, and even thought that the son of the king did not choose the local great lord of Qika daughter, and even many lords are quite hostile to the Duchy of Cardos.This is politics. As long as you can see the situation clearly and find the right opportunity, you have the ability to dance on eggs, and the rewards you get through dancing are even more generous than war.But this is just a means after all, if you don't have the confidence, one day you will also face the end of chicken flying eggs.

"Let's continue on the road." Plavix said to his coachman and entourage, the silence cannot last a lifetime, now, he has to look forward.

The lobster has finally reached a speed that Zhou Lingke can accept, which is about the speed of a car on an ordinary road (the kind of bus that can rival F1 is not within the scope of this "car").The pie finally came off the lobster too, although he was a little frustrated that he was sure he couldn't bite the lobster.

However, they still couldn't find their way.

"Do cats use magnetic fields or stars to locate them?" Zhou Lingke looked at the sky and seemed to be talking to himself.The pie was in his arms, and the direction the cat pointed on the lobster's head 10 minutes ago was completely different from the direction it pointed 5 minutes ago, so now they are walking closer and closer to the mountain for no reason.Although Zhou Lingke didn't know the surrounding roads at all, he was sure that there were no mountains around the town, "Maybe we should stop..."

"Meow!" Pie suddenly "flyed" and shot out, which has happened many times since it got off the lobster.Zhou Lingke had already skillfully signaled the lobster to stop, and then slid down one of the lobster's legs.

Pie's small body is like a groundhog digging a hole. It has already dug up the snow. Zhou Lingke only needs to go over and fiddle with it a little bit, and he can see that the snow is covered under it.Sure enough, judging from the deer-like hairy thighs, this was another animal corpse.The cold weather, and the blizzard, are not only a great threat to humans, but also to animals.And this thigh is not long, is it a cub?Zhou Lingke subconsciously wanted to push the snow away to see what kind of animal it was, and then put it into his storage ring—this is important food.

"Ah!" The result of revealing the other party's true face was that Zhou Lingke startled himself. He even lost his balance and sat backwards in the snow.

"Meow!" Pie thought he was in some danger, jumped in front of him and let out a shrill cry of demonstration.One of the lobster's legs also stretched out, blocking Zhou Lingke's face, almost piercing the "animal".

"It's okay, I'm okay, I'm okay." Zhou Lingke touched the pie and the lobster's legs, indicating that they were safe.What frightened him was the corpse. Although he had the hind legs of a deer, he had the upper body of a human child. He was subhuman, or he was human.And he didn't freeze to death. Even if he didn't learn dissection, Zhou Lingke would not admit the neat wound on his neck. The minions of wild beasts will not be so crisp and sharp, they can only be the murder weapon of human beings, "What a bastard .” Whoever did such a thing deserves to be damned.

Zhou Lingke closed his eyes, took out a sheet from his storage ring, and wrapped the child well.This is the only thing he can do for this poor child now!

But how on earth did he come to this place?No, he wouldn't have come here by himself. Whether it was playing and getting lost, or running away from home, even if the obvious man-made fatal wounds were ignored, a child would not be able to go so far in winter.What's more, all the clothes on him are gone. Animals don't need human clothes, only humans need those.

"Crack!" The sound of a branch breaking suddenly sounded, and Zhou Lingke rushed over immediately.Although because of the snowshoes, his movements weren't really that fast, but it was enough to be faster than someone who stepped on a broken branch.

It wasn't the murderer who was spying from behind that tree, it was another person, another child.Terrified and cold, he hesitated between curling up to keep himself warm and spreading his arms and legs to escape. In the end, he could only curl up and cry with his head hugged. His golden hair was covered with two fluffy but floppy ears. Conspicuous, this is another demihuman child...

Xia En is still looking for Zhou Lingke. He understands what the guide thinks, but it doesn't mean that he has to follow the other party's ideal.

The snow started to fall again, but the snowflakes were very small, and there was almost no wind, so the traces of the huge red monster Zhou Lingke was riding were not covered up like before.He was able to find that person along these lines.And after forcing the guide to go back, Xia En, who can run at full speed, did find Zhou Lingke before dark—that someone lit a big fire and was grilling meat, and the huge... lobster (?) became As his best shelter from the wind and snow, he looked so relaxed and comfortable that Xia En gritted his teeth.

"I see you really have an urge to cry."

"If you didn't hold a barbecue in your hand at this time, I would think your words would be more believable. Is this your new summon? A lobster?"

"It has nothing to do with whether I'm holding a roast. It's a lobster... What do you think we should call it? Just a shrimp?"

"Woooo..."

"What is that?" Xia En only noticed the "something" behind Zhou Lingke at this time. Although he had smelled it before, it was the world of dangerous beasts according to the guide. Xia En thought it was just left by passing beasts. smell.

"It's a child. Damon, come out, don't worry." Zhou Lingke patted the trembling mass behind him. The boy pulled his arm and exposed his head, but his eyes were still full of fear as he looked at the strange adult Xia En. "The child I stumbled across."

"At this?"

"To make matters worse, I also found the body of another child. Daemon! Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!" Mentioning the "corpse" Damon immediately retracted into Zhou Lingke's arms, and the two ears on the top of his head fell down , the whole body trembled like a leaf in a strong wind.

"Should we finish our meal here, or go back to town?"

"Go back to town, you can eat this." While passing the barbecue over, Zhou Lingke hugged Damon with the other arm, and kicked the snow on the campfire with his feet, "Sorry, I wanted to help, but it ended up like this, On the contrary, it made you worry. By the way, how is the town doing, won't too much manpower and material resources be wasted because of me?"

"You did worry a lot of people, but it's worth saving a child because of this. And the situation in the town is better than expected. At least before I left, many townspeople who left the cellar also joined the ranks of helping, I mean helping to find other people in the town, not helping to find you, in fact, including me, there are only two people who came out to find you." Xia En took the meat and took two bites, and then walked over to talk Zhou Lingke's clothes, "Aren't you hurt?"

Zhou Lingke was not only not angry because there were only two people looking for him, but he was relieved, and even jokingly shook his arm at Xia En: "No, all the parts are where they should be, and they are working well." Meng was still so frightened that he immediately hid to the other side, but finally he gradually stopped trembling so much.

"What's going on here?" Xia En pointed to Zhou Lingke's exposed wrist when he raised his arm, there was some blood on it, "I can smell it, it's not animal blood."

"This..." Zhou Lingke didn't notice the bloodstains there before. He froze for a moment, his expression unnatural, "That's probably the one I met before..." He glanced diagonally downwards, wearing Meng was there, hugging Zhou Lingke's waist, looking at his feet, "Let's talk about this matter when we get back to town."

"Okay, you're right."

"It's very fast to make fresh shrimps, Damon, do you want to sit with us on this big guy?"

"Can you stop calling it shrimp?"

"But I just asked your opinion about its name, and you have no objection."

"That's because I was distracted just now." Xia En and Zhou Lingke walked out from under the lobster's body. At this time, the lobster stretched out one of its legs very friendly, "Just walk up here?"

"Yes, then you haven't said exactly what name to give it."

"Let me think about it, it's not that easy to come up with a name."

"I think Pie quite agrees with that statement of yours."

"Meow?" Pie, squatting on Zhou Lingke's shoulder, called out.

"Why, don't you think the name 'pie' is not good..." Xia En has already run on the back of the lobster, the child who has been very scared has gradually lost his fear in the bickering between Zhou Lingke and Xia En and even laughed, but at this moment, the lobster suddenly raised its head, it couldn't make a sound, but the two small claws in front of its mouth kept making a fierce "click click", The next moment, it suddenly fell to the ground, and all its limbs were flattened!And Shane was thrown out!
