Dominate the world in three weeks?

The news of the Duke's disappearance not only disturbed the imperial capital, but the hurricane soon swept across the country with letters bearing the royal emblem like snowflakes.

5000 crystal coins is not a small amount, it is even equivalent to the annual tax of a medium-sized city.So Terrence got angry without his knowledge.No matter which town you go to in Shanniple, you can always see the enlarged head of the little duke.Men are keen to search for the boy with black hair and green eyes, and women are keen to gossip about the tragic life experience of the new little duke.

At this time, the Lord was still drinking endless broth in the White Bone Tower Forest.

Terrence and the Black Mask team have been walking in the forest for a week, and everyone except Terrence has suffered several rounds of injuries.Three or four of them even lost half of their fighting strength, which made the dark mask's previous hilarious atmosphere a bit depressed.

Terrence calculated the distance and guessed that they were not far from the Principality of Sealand by this time.

Since the Grand Duke of Sealand said that he had heard about the original fruit in his fief, Terrence set his destination in that forest, but now Terrence has collected the seeds of several plants , and there is no gain.This made the little duke wonder for several times whether he really just came to collect Mo Zhi.

At dinner time, the team settled down on an open flat ground.Having learned from the experience in the swamp, the deep black mask is now very serious about night defense.

Not only are thieves' traps assisted, but earth mages even spend mana to build walls and deep trenches to improve the security level.

Terrence looked at the oily hot soup, closed his eyes and held his breath, drank it, and then began to bite the delicious and juicy fruit—as he went deeper into the forest, there were more and more magic plants, edible plants But there were fewer and fewer, so these bright red fruits were very precious, and Vic gave most of them to Terrence who had already vomited soup once.

While biting the fruit, the little duke looked at Lu Sien who was sitting next to him.Because they had cooperated once when dealing with the black marsh green vines, the relationship between the two was vaguely closer than before, which made the other members of the deep black mask reject Lu Sien even more, and even Vic leaked his disapproval. expression.

Terrence was very dismissive of this. The group of civilian mercenaries who tried to maintain restraint and dignity in front of money and class did not really have no desire for these things.On the contrary, the more they desire, the more they have to show indifference to show their nobility, but they don't know that it looks pitiful and ridiculous to outsiders.

Even the nobles who kept clamoring for dignity didn't really take this thing to heart. After all, everyone knew that dignity could not buy life or bring rights. is the most sincere person.

Bearing the burden of humiliation and rhetoric are the basic skills for success. Isn't his dear brother Angus the best example?

Of course, the above thoughts are all from Terrence's miscellaneous thoughts. In fact, other people in the deep black mask overestimated Lu Sien's IQ and EQ.

If it was said that Lu Sien clings to him in order to gain some benefits from him, Terrence will probably die laughing.But he couldn't help asking: "Lu Sien, why do you care about me so much?"

The archer turned his gaze from the food in his mouth to Terrence, blinked a few times before replying, "I don't care about you."

Terrence choked when he got this kind of answer, and the other party's merciless statement hurt his self-esteem—well, I would like to add one more thing about the above argument, self-esteem is something only for high-ranking people It only exists when dealing with low-level people, how can he tolerate himself being challenged in front of a stupid fool!

Terrence, who was just asking casually, became serious this time: "I mean, why do you stare at me for eating every day, always follow me, and always block attacks for me!"

- It's not about what it is, stupid commoner!It's not that I'm being self-indulgent!

"Oh..." Lu Sien seemed to have just realized it, "Probably because you are very similar to my brother."

To be honest, Terrence felt a little awkward when he heard the answer.Although he claimed that he didn't care what reason Lu Sien approached him, but after he really knew that the other party had a reason—even if it was a harmless reason—he felt a little disappointed.The little duke has experienced too many power disputes and intrigues. He doesn't know if there is really a sincere heart in this world that has no reason, no exchange, and no care.

The more precious you are, the more you seek...

Terrence regained his wandering thinking, raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Is your brother really similar?"

"Well...he's not black-haired..."

Before Lu Sien finished speaking, Terrence immediately covered his mouth: "Oh, hell! Idiot! Didn't I tell you not to tell me what I look like?!"

cried the little prince in a low voice.

During the battle that day, Terrence was accidentally blown off his hood. Fortunately, no one saw it in the sky. Later, it fell and was blocked by a huge green vine, giving him time to cover up.Therefore, except for Lu Sien, no one knew his appearance.Terrence also warned the archer specifically about this matter, telling him not to let his mouth slip.

Lu Sien nodded silently, and then Terrence put his hand down.Gong Bing continued: "The appearance is not the same. My brother's body is very similar to yours. When I was young, my family was very poor, and we always had enough to eat. Because he couldn't keep up with nutrition since he was a child, he still looks like a child at the age of 14." Child. But he always told me that as long as he eats more in the future, he will grow up."

Terrence heard Lu Sien mention the height issue again with an unbearable expression.

——Obviously seeing his appearance, he still believes that he is really not tall. How can he describe this guy other than being stupid?

But because it was the first time for Lu Sien to say such a long word, Terrence had no choice but to hold back his rebuttal and continue listening.Although Bowman's tone was flat, Terrence could tell from his body that he was an elder brother who loved his younger brother very much.

"And then? How is he?"

"Oh... when there was a famine in the village at the age of 14, he starved to death."

Lu Sien blinked, shrugged and said.It was a kind of indifference that tried to show, a kind of indifference that cut off feelings and emotions.

A gust of evening wind blew through the green canopy, making whirling sounds.Terrence was silent for a while, and gently stroked the archer's hair in the wind.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly fell into an unspeakable embarrassment. At this time, the bushes opposite the camp made rustling sounds. The players with deep black masks took up their weapons and stood on guard. Lu Sien's eyes also changed instantly. be sharp.

A few seconds later, what appeared to be an adventure party came out of the bushes.There were about twenty people, including mages and warriors. They were probably attacked by high-level monsters. Many of them were wounded and looked in a panic.

The deep black mask did not let down its vigilance - sometimes people need to be more careful than Warcraft.

Among the group was a tall male mage wearing glasses, who should be a leader.He handed over the staff in his hand to his companion, raised his hands and walked slowly towards this side.

"Good night, ladies and gentlemen. We are just an ordinary adventure team. We just ran into a group of flaming forest wolves and managed to escape. We are not bad people."

When Vic heard his words, he immediately looked towards the back of the adventure team with a solemn expression.The Flame Timberwolves belong to the sixth-level monsters, but because they are in groups and have strong cooperation ability, the overall combat power is more difficult than the eighth-level monsters.

The man immediately guessed what he was thinking, and comforted him softly: "Please don't worry, we've already got rid of them completely, otherwise we wouldn't stop, would we?"

Vic nodded with a tense face, and said, "In this case, you can go on. What we need is rest, not someone else's visit."

"Don't be like this, sir." The man smiled wryly, "Our loss is too serious. Several people in the team were seriously injured. Traveling at night will kill us."

"But what does it have to do with us?" Cynthia asked with a raised eyebrow.

When some people in the adventure team heard her words, they immediately glared angrily, and the man quickly turned around and softly scolded them to pay attention to their attitude.Because some people moved their positions a bit, revealing several seriously injured patients being carried behind.It seemed that just as the man said, they had indeed experienced a brutal encounter. One of the men in a white priest's attire had half of his body stained red with blood.

Vic paused when he saw the male priest.Due to their continuous rush these days, many of them were injured, especially the heavy swordsmen and thieves were seriously injured. It is not enough to use potions alone. It would be great if they can be treated by priests...

Thinking of this, Vic couldn't help asking: "Is the priest in your team seriously injured? I think he's bleeding a lot."

The man listened and shook his head: "It's just that the shoulder was accidentally bitten by a wolf. It's not a fatal injury. He's now passed out due to excessive blood loss, and he should wake up tomorrow morning."

Speaking of this, the man sighed: "Actually, if it weren't for our pastor's accident, we wouldn't be in such a mess. We don't intend to beg for your protection, but we just hope that you will allow us to rest nearby for a night."

Terrence, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "I'm afraid your identity is not simple to be able to invite a pastor to serve you?"

The man pushed his glasses and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, it's not wise to casually reveal your identity in the Tower of White Bone Forest. I think you will understand, right?" It was determined that he was the employer of the team in front of him.

After making a decision, the man put the subject of the conversation on Terrence: "The priest in the team is only level three, and he is not very powerful. He can only heal some minor skin injuries—ah, right. If If there are wounded on your side, I will persuade him to use divine power to heal you after waking up tomorrow."

"You decide for him in this way, will the venerable pastor agree?"

Under the brim of the hat, Terrence had a half-smile expression on his face. His dislike and rejection of pastors and the church had been carved into his bones, and his tone of voice was secretly ridiculed when he mentioned them.

The man didn't seem to be aware of it, and he still maintained his demeanor and replied: "You can agree that we don't have to travel in the dark, and that is to save his life. Why won't he do his best to repay his kindness?"

"The divine power of the third-level priests is very rare. If you use all the power on us, what will your wounded do? Your Excellency is too generous, and I dare not accept this kindness."

Terrence chuckled and declined.

The man was not discouraged, and further explained: "The danger during the day is always less—well, I have to say, I'm afraid I can't care about what will happen the next day, the most important thing is to save the lives of my companions tonight Yes. You do have the upper hand, and to say something that shames me, you now have our lives in your hands, and I am willing to agree to all your demands for everyone's survival. If you are still wary of us, I will Most of the weapons can be handed over to you for safekeeping."

The man's words were reasonable and sincere. He didn't know whether he would impress Terrence, who was hiding his face, but it obviously impressed the other person in charge of the team.

Vic turned his head and said to Terrence: "Mr. Hyman, I think doing what the other party said can make them stay."
