I, the Lord of the End

Chapter 109, grand debut

"From the moment you appeared in front of me, I have recognized you, Sid." Earl Mecklen tapped the ground lightly with his hand, he turned around unwilling to face Sid's face, The count sighed softly: "How could I not recognize you? I saved you. At that time, the group of people wanted to wipe out your family and beat you into a devil believer. I know that if I don't save you, you will really die." Some of them will be put on the stake in a daze and roasted into a piece of jerky."

"For this, I have always been very grateful to you, you saved me once." Sid said lightly.

The white-haired boy uttered words of gratitude, but there was no expression of gratitude on his face. On the contrary, there was deep hatred and a touch of sadness. He looked at Mecklen's back and slowly closed his eyes. on the eyes.

He was angry, and he was also sad.

"Not once, but twice." Earl Mecklen stretched out two fingers and gestured towards Sid behind him: "Twice."

Sid stared at Earl Mecklen's two fingers, the boy's sea-blue eyes narrowed slightly, his hands clenched, let go, clenched again, and let go.

"I don't know why you returned to the place of Bad Wolf, and I don't know whether you are greedy for His Highness's beauty, for her commission, or because you think you can cling to Your Highness for a future by relying on your pretty face. I don't even think it's a good idea for you to appear here, so I told Sir Yesil early on to let him reject you and make you unable to stay here." Earl Mecklen always turned his back to Sid, he Sighing, as sad as seeing beautiful jade covered in dust: "It's just a pity that you stayed and gained the trust of the princess."

"Boom~boom~" The cane hit the stone slab on the ground, and the earl let out a satisfied sigh: "On the one hand, I am very relieved, because I found that I did not save the wrong person. You are indeed a talent, but on the other hand, I feel very distressed." , I know that we are going to the opposite side, I don't want to hurt you, but the premise of everything is that you don't threaten me."

"So, you've been pretending you didn't recognize me?" Sid stood still.

"I've finished listening to your story, Sid, for the sake of saving you twice, can you listen to my story?" Earl Mecklen straightened his long bright golden hair, and he turned around slowly. , showing a bright smile to Sid: "I have a story, do you have wine?"

"Yes." Sid took out two bottles of good whiskey, handed Mecklen one of them, and flicked the cap off with his fingernail.

Mecklen, who has always been steady, elegant and gentlemanly, took the whiskey, bit open the bottle cap with his mouth, and took a big gulp. He walked to the fountain and sat down, taking a long breath: "I was born in a down-and-out In the Quess family, I have been placed high hopes by my parents since I was a child. All the resources of the family are used for my study. I eat the best food and wear the best clothes. I have seen my parents eat more than once. Bread of rye, and white bread of good wheat, so I swore from my childhood that I must restore the glory of the family."

"In terms of martial arts, I don't have a strong talent beyond others, so I can only hope to change my destiny through knowledge." Mecklen recalled his childhood with a bright smile: "At that time, I worked very hard and worked very hard. , I know that my family has used all the resources and exhausted all the contacts to fight for me a chance to study at the Holy Flame City Noble Academy. For this spot, my father, carrying a small bag of pepper, was in the manor of the Earl of Orlando. Standing at the door for a full six hours."

"So I always cherish all the opportunities I can get. My martial arts can only be ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the academy, but my cultural subjects will always be the first in the academy." Mecklen said with a smile on his face. smiled: "I am very grateful to many mentors in the academy, they gave me funding, I still remember that instructor Wolfgang always gave me his old clothes and shoes, and brought me sausages and bacon, the academy It was the happiest time of my life, and I also met my favorite woman, Evelyn Mecklen, in an academy performance."

"Yes, it's just that there are bad wolves here." Sid also sat down, and he quietly listened to Earl Mecklen's story.

"Evelyn is so beautiful, she is like a beautiful white swan, lonely, remote, and so far away, she already has a fiancé!" Mecklen took another sip of his spirits and said loudly: " But I think I can, I think I still have a chance! I think I can become a man worthy of her by relying on my hard work, my struggle, and my diligence like I did before!"

"My luck is also very good. Her first fiancé, Simone Peel, died young." Earl Mecklen smiled: "I always thought it was the blessing of the god of luck, but the reality soon gave Slap me."

"At that time, everyone in the academy was assigned to various palaces to become courtiers, to the wolf champion warrior brigade, and some to the court of the Principality. Only me, I was sent to the border area of ​​Blood Cliff, and became a non-commissioned officer at the border post." Earl Mecklen Laughing endlessly: "Do you know why? Sid, because I stared at Evelyn at the banquet, it attracted the hostility of the Peel family, and the displeasure of Evelyn's father. They drank Simone Peel Too much wine fell into the river in the early morning and drowned on me, so arrange for me to go there."

"Those outposts on Blood Cliff are basically exiles. I looked at a group of 40-year-old veterans inside. Their skin was full of ditches due to the wind and sand and lack of nutrition. They usually only think about dawdling. I thought, theirs. Isn't that what I will look like 20 years from now?"

"My parents who had high hopes for me were depressed because of what I had become, and died of illness within a few years. I couldn't see them for the last time, but I was not discouraged at that time. I thought that there were still people who could help me. I wrote a letter to Mentor Wolfgang, and with his help, I successfully entered the extremely dangerous Heresy Trial."

"The hero of the wolf, the slayer of the false religion, the enemy of the devil." Sid said softly, "You lost three fingers because of this, and you were seriously disabled. Your leg... still needs a cane."

"Yeah, I have already made such a huge sacrifice for the Holy Empire. I thought to myself, this way I can always get fair treatment, and I can always get Evelyn... at least I am qualified to pursue her?" Make A strange smile appeared on Earl Lun's face: "No, Evelyn's father told me that he would never marry his daughter to me no matter what the circumstances were, because I had no money to hinder him. A large gift money has been collected severely, and the Yige family is willing to pay a large sum of money!"

"Originally, that's all for now, but they felt that this young man dangling around Evelyn was really annoying. I soon got the news that the Wolf Palace planned to promote me to be the deputy director of the outpost. The location of the outpost is , Blood Cliff." Mecklen's smile became brighter and brighter: "This is the ending of a great hero, Sid, can you tell me, if it were someone else from a great noble family, what would the ending be like?"

"At that time, your heroic deeds were very popular. As long as you operate well, you will have a chance to get a baron directly." Sid nodded: "It's a pity that no one speaks for you. No one is willing to open a hole where an exile from a remote area can reach the sky in one step."

The big garden is getting colder and colder, and as the time gradually enters the night, the surroundings are getting quieter and quieter.

"I lost control at the time. I went to question Leo Iger, Evelyn's second fiancé, and I asked him if it was his fault? Do you know what that person said?" Mecklen laughed Get crazy: "He said yes, he said I was a hero? A hero? A tool, a hero? No shit."

Sid understood immediately: "You killed him?"

"I was emotional at the moment." Mecklen nodded, and he continued: "The experience of dealing with the devil and the worship cult on the front line all the year round made me react quickly. I took care of the funeral without leaving any clues, even I was surprised , I obviously made a big mistake, but I didn't feel any guilt at all."

"Hatred has blinded your eyes." Sid was noncommittal: "And then?"

"Obviously I did something bad, but the good news came one after another. The death of Leo Yige delayed my transfer, and then Evelyn's two fiancés died in a row, so she was temporarily ignored, so I seized I begged Evelyn's father again to betroth her to me."

"Evelyn's father set out very cruel conditions. He asked me to be promoted to the hero rank within 22 days, and I must collect 8000 gold crowns, and I will not do anything less."

"I beg and beg, there is no chance, I have nowhere to go, Sid, you must be very clear that it is not that simple to be promoted to the hero rank, wealth, time, talent and opportunity are all indispensable." The earl lowered his head: "It's more troublesome Unfortunately, the transfer order has only been delayed for two months, and I will be returning to the Bloody Cliff soon, and Mentor Wolfgang has passed away."

"No one can help you anymore." Sid looked at Earl Mecklen's dejected look. He vaguely saw how a high-spirited young man was driven to nowhere. A hero who had the courage to fight against the devil and the cult of worship at the expense of his life is How did it gradually come to an end.

"In 22 days, where can I get 8000 gold crowns? Just rely on my salary of tens of gold coins a year? Or 300 gold crowns to reward me as a great hero? Where can I go to break through the hero rank?" Earl Mecklen Shaking his head mockingly, tears welled up in his eyes: "I can't help it, I think of a group of people."

"I remember it was noon, the sun was so fierce that it burned my heart and lungs like fire. I knelt in front of the devil general, and the pain spread from the depths of my soul to my whole body." The earl talked about what happened at that time, but at this moment Like a bystander: "The King of Pain among the Seven Kings of Hell is very happy. He has gained great energy from my pain. He accepts me and gives me all I want."

"After that, things became very simple. I returned to Wolfsburg, took money, and the strength of the newly promoted hero. I knew that no one could stop me from being with Evelyn. I found that Evelyn My father wanted to repent again. He probably didn't expect me to fulfill his request at all, but it doesn't matter. After the first time, the second time is naturally very easy. I arranged an out-of-control carriage to take my The father-in-law took a ride, and then married Evelyn and got her earldom, because the Mecklen family has only one daughter."

"Promotion, salary increase, marrying Bai Fumei, becoming a hero admired by everyone, everything is so easy and simple."

After all this was said, the wind and snow blew past the two of them, and Earl Mecklen felt as relaxed as if he had unloaded a thousand tons of weight. He laughed wildly, with innumerable joy and calmness in his laughter: "This, is the sacred Empire, that’s the ending of being a hero without two white hairs on your head! Hero? Hahahahahahaha! Hero!”

"If a person is capable, charismatic, and ambitious, then he must be a traitor to the empire! Sid, do you understand what I mean?"

"Because the current empire cannot tolerate such people!"

"Huh~huh~" Snowflakes fluttered, the north wind blew, and the big garden was completely empty. Sid was silent for a long time, and then he said: "So, you were responsible for the massacre in the manor five years ago?"

"That's right, I did it." Earl Mecklen nodded.

"reason?"

"What other reason can there be? It's just a lack of money." The earl spread his hands easily, as if to say something trivial: "No way, after I got married, I discovered that Evelyn's problems as a noble lady are really serious. Quite a lot, nothing else, the key is that she can't control her expenses at all, the money is spent like running water, I love her so much, I have to always find ways to make money, I'm not in this kind of thing It’s the first time I’ve done it, but in the end, all the responsibility will be attributed to the devil’s cult, I’m a hero, and no one will doubt me.”

"It's that simple?" Sid muttered to himself.

"It's that simple." Mecklen turned around and stared at Sid: "Okay, Sid, you've heard the story, now you understand why you survived?"

"Because of your mercy?" Sid stared at Mecklen coldly.

"I found you! That night I found you hiding in the dog hole, it was you, it was my kindness! It was my mercy! I let you go, because I think we are very similar, and you are also very talented , you have a pitiful background, I can't bear to see such an outstanding talent like you die like this, so I let you go!" The earl asked Sid nervously: "I saved you once, but those bastards I actually wanted to kill you by killing you, I didn't see this, and I saved you again."

"I saved your life twice, twice!" Mecklen stretched out two fingers and dangled in front of Sid: "Twice! So can you also forgive me? Let me go , okay? You already know the truth, so just let me go, okay?"

Sid was at a loss for words for a moment, and the boy's eyes were indifferent and full of doubts.

"Hey... well, well, after all, it was my fault that I killed your whole family, I apologize, and I will compensate you for the loss." Earl Mecklen continued: "In this way, I surrender myself, and I can admit that I embezzled the military salary , and misjudged the intelligence that led to the defeat of the Battle of Friedland, I will go to a military court for this, and may be reduced to a viscount or even a baron, and I will spend seven or eight years in prison for this, can I? I can plead guilty, someone I will be responsible for the defeat, and His Highness can also do business, okay? Let me go, okay?"

Sid still didn't speak, his eyes remained indifferent.

"You child, why don't you understand!" Earl Mecklen angrily tapped the ground with his cane: "I'm doing this for your own good! What good is it for you to find out? Not to mention that you can't be me opponent! Let me go, the benefits you can get are far greater than the price you have to pay for killing me!"

"You don't have any evidence, what can you do to me? Do you think everyone in the Wolf Principality will believe you or me?" The earl gave an ultimatum, and he said very sincerely: "Death!" It’s just a few civilians, land annexation happens every day in the Bad Wolf Principality, who hasn’t done it? Everyone has done it, you think you are just, and everyone will stand on the side of justice?”

"Don't be kidding, little brother Sid, civilians are like wheat, after harvesting this year, it will grow again next year, the nobles are the pillars supporting the country, you and us should be on the same side, stability, stability overwhelms everything! The count finally concluded: "Let me give you some time to think about it, don't force me, Sid, I really think you are a talent."

"You are the real talent, my lord the earl." Sid stood up, he smiled, and the white-haired boy smiled like a child: "Thank you for your story, you and I have contributed a lot to everyone present. A great show."

"Grand, performance?" Mecklen asked strangely, his expression suddenly changed.

Sid didn't speak any more, he walked gently to the side, grasping the void with both hands.

A void curtain that traversed the entire sky fell from the sky.

Behind the curtain, hundreds of spectators stood on the terrace theater in the large garden.

Among them are a total of 326 nobles who have the title of baron or above, covering almost all the great nobles who have real power in the whole wolf.

Including the smiling Grand Priest Cecilia, the disgusted King Joseph XI of Rezland, the cold-looking former Holy Empire Inquisition Supreme Master Shaq Hell Trio, and those who are worried about Sid's safety. The imperial envoy, Princess Celeste of the Black Eagle.

Including the blood-red, furious judge Hutten, all the religious warriors under his command, and a large group of senior priests, priests, and paladins under the Patriarch of the Wolf Principality.

Including the representatives of the citizens of Wolf Castle, the representatives of the merchants, and the butlers of the manor.

It even includes the entire family of the Earl of Mecklen, all his relatives, his beloved wife Evelyn, and his son and two daughters who were shocked by their father's "glorious deeds" and fell into a mental breakdown.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes full of astonishment, anger, shock, and sadness stared at today's protagonist-Count Joseph Mecklen, and they listened to the whole process of this incident.

Shaq, the former supreme mentor of the Tribunal, put down the Void Realm Artifact in his hand - the Void Spirit Blade, and his task for today was completed.

Mecklen froze, he could feel hundreds of eyes on him.

"Thank you, my count." Sid walked to Earl Mecklen with pale lips, trembling hands, and blank eyes, and he whispered in his ear: "Didn't you say that I can't do anything to you? Don't underestimate me."

"Not only do I want to kill you, I also want to ruin your reputation."

"I not only want you to be ruined, but I also want your family. Your name will become a shame in the history of evil wolves. It will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever and will never be forgotten."

"Not only do I want you to be forever remembered as a shameful wolf, I also want your family, your friends, and your subordinates to be implicated because of you. None of them will end well."

"Hey hey hey~" Sid whispered like a devil with a strange smile.

"This is my revenge!"
