Lord of terror

"The lineage of fire rats in human blood is not necessarily the direct lineage of humans and fire rats. Fire rats can breed with many rats, even rat people. Legend has it that there are also giant fire rats that can breed with giant beasts. The giant rats in the territory now are said to be the descendants of their hybrids with dragon beasts. Dragon beasts are then hybridized with other creatures, and it is not uncommon for one of your ancient ancestors to have the blood of fire rats."

The captain finished speaking, but Kunz saw a bit of hesitation on his face—the two have dated until now, and the captain will gradually show his truest side when facing Kunz.Kunz felt that, in fact, he should have something to say.

"team leader?"

"..." The captain's hesitation became more obvious, "Your mother was born as a servant, and it is impossible to find her family tree, but it is not because ordinary people do not have ancient blood in their bodies that they cannot awaken, but most of them have too mixed blood. Yes. Your condition is probably caused by your mother."

No wonder the captain hesitated, he was telling the truth, but it was likely to be taken as an insult to call him a bastard.

Even though Kunz's soul is not a native of this world, his body is the descendant of the former baron and the maid mother, which cannot be changed.

Kunz crossed the dining table and took the captain's hand: "There are more blood vessels in my body than imagined?"

"Correct."

"It's the disadvantage of mixed blood, and the advantage of pure blood." The captain did not insult him by saying that he was a bastard. This is a normal discussion about blood.

Kunz was really too calm, the captain breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that he had to say a few more words: "This kind of dialogue can only happen between you and me, never with any nobleman, Or extraordinary people talk about similar topics. In this world, at least on the surface, everyone attaches great importance to their blood."

"I know." Kunz nodded obediently.

From this day on, Kunz dreamed almost every night, dreaming that he became some kind of flame creature, including monsters, intelligent creatures, and elemental creatures.

It was the first time that Kunz knew that there was a kind of "little fire man" in this world. They seemed to be related to goblins, but what they wore on their heads was not a hat, but fire. This kind of little fire man lived underground. In the lava river, hunt other flame creatures for a living.

Elemental creatures are relatively monotonous, just a group of conscious fire, which slowly grows by absorbing other flame elements.

Kunz is very strange, how does this kind of thing have anything to do with material creatures like human beings?The captain told him that the fire elemental king can be humanized and can reproduce with other creatures.

There are also flame snakes, flame trees (this is an animal that looks like a plant), fire horses (somewhat like the nightmare in the demon, but the flames on it are usually red, and the flames of the nightmare are blue), Fire Rabbit (???)...

The day before the arrival of Viscount Kirke, the captain listened to Kunz's "Daily Dream" and said: "Your situation may be different from what we used to think, which is too exaggerated. Compared with It just so happens that you have many ancient ancestors who have descended from different flame creatures. There is another possibility that a powerful fire-type extraordinary person once appeared in your ancestors. This extraordinary person once hunted a large number of fire-type creatures. Living things and devour them to increase their own strength."

"The ancestor of Baron Monroe's family?"

"It's possible. After all, the first Baron Monroe was also an illegitimate child. But illegitimate children with that ability are rare in the long history. Who is his mother and what kind of matrilineal family he has is still a mystery now. .”

The past of the first Baron Monrofi is very legendary, but he is only a baron after all. In the long history of the entire continent, there have been many heroes, whether they are scholars who specialize in genealogy, or bards who write third-rate novels, They can all choose to write about more famous, powerful and legendary objects.

The captain shook his head: "Let's not talk about him, now you are more important. Although the situation has changed, the route we have set remains the same. It is still the same sentence - don't worry, slowly experience the blood in your body, find The one that suits you best. The only thing that changes is that it may take you longer to find it."

"Ok!"

Kunz has some anxiety in his heart. He urgently needs to become stronger. Only when he becomes stronger can the players reach a higher level.

The appearance of the favored person suddenly made the superhumans that Kunz came into contact with able to rush forward like a high-speed rail. Kunz looked calm, but actually felt more and more uneasy in his heart.

_(:з」∠)_Actually, a few days ago, he wanted to ask if he could make mushroom bombs just in case.But I gave up this idea, and I can't let it go after I made it.With the level of a strong man in this world, waving a mushroom bomb will disintegrate in the air.Even the launch base and the aircraft cannot be guaranteed to be safe, which is too dangerous.

He is eager to become stronger, but he can't be in a hurry, just can't be in a hurry.

It's useless to be anxious, otherwise, should we choose the fire mouse as the object of transformation?

Thinking about it carefully, the good objects he dreams of every night are still regular - from the weakest to getting stronger little by little.

No, there is another rule.

"Captain, I die unexpectedly every time."

"Don't say that you died unexpectedly, it's those creatures who sympathized with you." The captain gave Kunz a blank look. This world also needs to be careful when speaking, or even more carefully, "Your ancestors are probably some kind of acquired demonized flames. It is life, even alchemy life."

"Captain, do you have an approximate range?"

"No. But acquired flame-type demonic life forms will not hunt so regularly, and 'artificial' alchemy life forms may be even bigger. But for alchemy life...you can also see the gargoyle in the Rubik's Cube." The captain pointed The chain around Kunz's neck, and the small cube hanging on it is the Rubik's Cube, "Although they are collectively called gargoyles, there are great differences between individuals in terms of appearance and ability. Alchemy life is like this. Don't worry, take your time." Come on, strength is accumulated little by little..."

"En." Strength is accumulated little by little, but the captain's life is also lost little by little.This time the captain changed and squeezed Kunz's hand, "Relax, my little sun, you are the darling of miracles, and the world will be held in front of you."

"No." Kunz lowered his head, moved his cheek to the captain's hand, and rubbed it, "I just want to be your darling."

The captain laughed: "Of course, who said otherwise?"

[Gan!I feel like I ate a lemony dog ​​treat! ][QVQ people are talking about lingering love, and I am talking about earthy jokes. ]

Kunz: "..."

I forgot it was in a restaurant, there are always players coveting the captain!Forget it, they kept a safe distance, and what they said actually made Kunz happy, so let them watch.However, why is there no news from the Viscount Kirk?He should have arrived at Selfie.

Butler J told Kunz [he is taking a detour. 】

Is Kunz [Grandpa on Subway Watching Phone.jpg] sick?

However, Kunz still issued an announcement [Announcement to all players: Recently, some guests are coming to Monroe. They have the Black Deer family crest on them. If you find them, please don't attack them. 】

This announcement was broadcast every hour for two days, making sure that every player heard it.

Viscount Kirke and his men had indeed seen Selfi from a distance.But just because he saw Selfie, he dared not approach even more.

He had been to Monrofi before, after all, the two sides were neighbors, and the former baron would invite him to any gatherings, and he would invite the other party as well.Although it takes a lot of time to go to and from the territory every time, and the two territories are poor, and there is nothing good at the party, it can be said that the contribution and the return are seriously unequal.However, that is also an extremely important aristocratic social interaction for them.

——Baron Monrofi is worse than him, and on the other side is the Duke of Wenerta. Although he is a marginal Duke, he is so poor that few people in Fanwadina know him, but he is also called the Grand Duke. Ignore him, the little baron, and Viscount Kirke is his only social partner.

In short, Anton Kerke was aware of the location of Monrofi Castle, and he knew even more that there were no villages around it.On the way he came, he should have passed a village of knights, but the small village that should have existed is now gone.

Almost three years have passed since the disaster. Even though it is not yet the time for everything to recover, the village is full of various plants.Kirke led his knights to look for it, but under the thin snow, they found a pile of chaotic stones with traces of artificial carvings. This was vaguely the residence of the knights.

They were removing one of them, carved words of mourning, and erected it in front of the stone pile as a simple tombstone.

As for the villager's house, the former wall, or the field?There is no trace of it.The wooden fence has collapsed, or rotted, or become a decayed log, and the mud brick and straw houses of the villagers have returned to the earth.

The village was apparently not restored after the new baron took office.

Anton didn't think that the new baron had left the allocated population in Monrofi Town. The small nobles didn't gather a large number of people to build the city because they didn't want to build it?It is because they cannot be fed.If the village is not restored, it is probably because he lacks population (landers), manpower (knights), supplies (food), or even everything.

But when the building of Selfie appeared in front of him, Anton was not sure about his guess.

"Is that Meng Luofei?" A knight looked at his lord and asked uncertainly.

"That's not it." Anton denied, "That's...a strange building." Although it was far away, it could be seen that the building was very tall. How could they possibly see it?

"Honey?" The Viscountess, who was following on a horse, looked at her husband anxiously—because this was the first formal invitation from the neighbors, the Viscountess also followed, and brought their 11-year-old elder brother Son Dave.

"The ones on Monroe's land belong to Baron Monroe, right?" Little Kirk couldn't hide his curiosity about the distant buildings in his eyes.

Anton sighed: "My son, you have to know that these long-term contracts are just talk to us low-level nobles. When someone knocks on our door, it is definitely not a friendly guest. They are bandits who demand our property, and even our lives. Detour."

Dave's eyes were a little disapproving, and it was obviously not the first time his father said this.

"Have you forgotten the ruins we saw?" Anton asked.

Dave, who was eager to try, shrank back. He had never been to that village, but when he left the territory, he had seen the village in the Viscount's territory. There were so many people, living people, adult men and women working in the farmland, children Play around at home.That's how it should have been in the once barren place, but there's nothing there now.

But he still stuck his neck and confronted his father: "That's because of the evil disaster."

He was well-bred by his parents, a doted firstborn, full of youthful drive, and willing to challenge the authority of his father and lord.

"You also know how terrible the evil disaster is. Three years ago, you also experienced the evil disaster, even if it was just the aftermath. You have seen how terrible the evil disaster is in our fortress, and you have also experienced it in your life. The first death..."

This topic completely frightened Dave, he couldn't help pinching his pony, and Anton grabbed the rein to prevent him from being thrown off.

"Anton..." The Viscountess called her husband in a low voice.

Anton sighed, and touched his son's head. He was still wearing iron gloves. The cold touch made Dave tremble, but he was unexpectedly relieved.

"We have already suffered serious injuries after experiencing the aftermath. What will happen to Meng Luofei who is facing the disaster? Do you think they still have the ability to build such a towering building?"

Dave shook his head obediently.

"My dear son, once I die, you will become the lord of the Kirk Viscounty, which not only means that you will be the supreme person in that territory. Uh... at least on the surface, you are that kind of person. It also means that you have to bear the responsibility of thousands of lives on the territory, your subjects, your knights, your mother, your younger brothers and sisters. Even if you have done nothing wrong, they may all be killed Losing your life is like the catastrophe of the Barony of Monroe. If you make a mistake, you will have to make up for it with countless lives, theirs and yours."

The eagerness in the boy's eyes dissipated, but the sense of fear became heavier instead.

"You are already qualified to attend this kind of social meeting between the two territories, so I will bring you out. But more importantly, it is time for you to learn how to be a lord. Take a good look at Monroe, here, you You will see how a failed lord can bring the territory into disaster."

"Yes, father."

Not only Dave, but also the mood of other people in this team became more and more heavy. The original feeling of relaxation that was about to arrive in Monroe and finally able to take a rest was gone.

One of the purposes of Anton Kerke's coming to Monrofei this time is indeed to let Monrofei serve as a negative example for his son.Although he saw Kunz in golden armor and the little monster he brought with him last year, he was out to grab food at that time.Although Kunz himself said that he was looking for grain seeds, Anton didn't quite believe it.

A lord himself stood up as a robber. Emmmm... Although Anton was also a robber, he was not so blatant.

In short, as an experienced lord, Anton was sure that Meng Luofei's condition must be very bad, and it was a question mark if many people were still alive.As for the people who built those buildings?Anton did have an answer in his heart, but now was not the time to tell the eldest son, the child's head still couldn't hold too complicated things.

Confident and cautious, with a bit of tragic mood, Viscount Kirke led the visitors, so he walked around outside for four more days before being found by the players.

(p≧w≦q)[Fuck!found it!found it!That's them! ]

[Wipe, it's really hard to find. ][Why?Why did they run when they saw us? ]

[Hurry up!Maybe there is a mission! ]

Viscount Kirke's team and the player's team ran one after the other.Although Viscount Kerke's team brought two big carts that bumped as if they were going to fall apart at a fast speed, the player only had two legs after all—it's been four days, and he still insists on wandering outside looking for NPCs Players are all leisure party, story party and task party. Currently in Monroe, this kind of player is not high level.

The player was exhausted like a dog, and looked at the NPC going away with his hips crossed, thinking that the other party was a runaway husky.

[This task...wouldn't it be for us to catch up with the NPC and bring it back to Meng Luofei, right? ]

[Maybe there are good rewards. ][I want a title, something like "NPC discoverer". ]

[Very likely! ][Hurry up and go back to the city to shake people! ][I'm waiting here, everyone rush! ]

[Kuntz. 】

【What...】"Boom!"

The captain hit Kunz on the cheek with a fist. Kunz was beaten so that his head turned to one side, and he flew out rolling his eyes in an extremely unimpressive manner.

The captain looked at him: "Let's rest for a while."

Kunz covered his cheeks, moved his mouth, and spoke a little vaguely: "Okay, okay." The captain increased his strength and speed. Even if he didn't lose his mind, Kunz had no power to resist the captain, just distracted , was beaten a little more brutally.

[The players thought you had released a special mission - let's all play hide-and-seek together.Now they are chasing the Viscount Kirk's team and running around. 】

[…] Kunz stopped rubbing his cheeks for a moment [I can understand that Kerke detoured, after all, he didn't know our situation, but what happened to being chased around?When I went to his house last year, I took Lao Wan with me. He should know about Geji Geji’s existence. What is he hiding? 】

[I don't know about that, you have to ask him. 】

Kunz thought for a while, but he was really not sure: "Captain, Geji Geji thought it was a game and was chasing Viscount Kirke around, should I pick him up?"

"Chasing and running around?" The captain smiled. Obviously, in his imagination, the scene was quite amusing. "You should make your own choice. Do you think it's important for your knights to be happy, or an ally."

"..." Kunz was still hesitating, "Forget it, I'd better go. After all, Kirk is his territory, and we have to discuss cracking in the future."

He muttered about his decision, and glanced towards the captain from time to time.

"Your decision is what I will do, my lord."

"What if my decision is wrong?" There are more and more people in Meng Luofei, and the level involved is getting higher and higher.In the past, he made a wrong decision. At most, the house he built was dismantled and rebuilt, or he had to go hunting by himself to supplement the food for the residents of Monroe, or let the player jump at him.But the future... is already now. If he makes a wrong decision, his own life will be involved, and the world will be destroyed.

"Since you have made a decision, to me, your decision is your decision, there is no right or wrong to describe it."

"Is it that exaggerated? Hahaha!" Kunz smiled, but in fact, his mood was very complicated - he had never been favored like this in his life.Although this kind of love sounds secondary and selfish, who wouldn't want to be loved like this?

"To you, I never boasted, my lord."

He is so beautiful. His golden hair is tied into a long braid. For the convenience of his actions in the battle just now, part of the braid was pinned to his waist. He is wearing a white-backed golden embroidered dress today, so the braid became part of the clothing decoration.After the battle, the air here is filled with his fragrance, the warm floral fragrance is like his smile...

Kunz couldn't hold back, he walked over, getting closer and closer, the captain looked at Kunz intently with his golden green eyes, and smiled more gently.The captain even took the initiative to take a step forward and moved closer, allowing Kunz to imprint a kiss on his face. The slippery skin made Kunz sigh contentedly: "I'm leaving, my captain. "

[emmm... Let me ask you a question, the captain just now swears allegiance to you, right?So why isn't he still willing to be your sleepless one? 】

[The captain is loyal to me because he is willing to be loyal to me out of his own will.But once he becomes a sleepless person, whether he is willing to be loyal or not has nothing to do with his own will. 】

[But even if he doesn't become a sleepless person, he won't betray you, and you won't use the privilege of master to him to make him sleepless, right?The Sleepless One is just a superficial name, but if he doesn't swear allegiance to you, he will suffer, go mad, and die.So, he doesn't trust you? 】

[This is not a question of trust or distrust. 】

【What's the problem?Are you proud?Just because of pride, can you let go of your lover who obviously has a way to save you, and let you watch him die miserably?Wouldn't this be too cruel to him, or to you? ] Butler J's tone did not fluctuate. He was not acting emotionally, but simply couldn't understand this choice.

The author has something to say: Viscount Kirke: (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻ Will you come? If you don’t come, I will let your little monster eat you!
