Devil's Journey

Chapter 260 Spreading the Prestige
"Julian" Selena was taken aback for a moment, then thoughtfully took out a reverse cross pendant from her skirt, and murmured, "Is that you? That upright knight walking in the dark. "

After pondering for a while, Selena put down the good news, took out a piece of letter paper, and picked up the pen.
The messenger was received by Her Royal Highness, and given a reply and reward, and then changed horses and rushed back to the territory regardless of exhaustion. However, the return journey was not safe. Although the route had been cleared, there were still wild monsters and robbers roaming around. rampage.

Fortunately, they didn't meet anyone who was too powerful, so they returned to Augustus without any risk, and handed Her Royal Highness's letter to Julian.

"Great, the first step is passed." The corners of Julian's lips curled up. He deliberately didn't approach the princess directly, just for this effect.

Selena's reply was not long, and after a brief compliment, it was a discussion of Julian's insights, not to ask the elders for advice, nor to face the guidance of the followers, but a kind of similar discuss.

After Julian finished reading, he put on a smug smile, as if seeing a fish hooked.

The support from the headquarters did not make Julian wait for too long. Led by Layla, the large pack team walked along the low area on the east side of the North Tyrell Mountains. a mountain road.

A group of mildly demonized people from Hegu Town and Essinger Town also arrived along with them. These demons with no obvious external characteristics will fill the Augustus Territory with Julian's retainers.

After seeing Julian, Leila's stern expression showed a touch of tenderness. At this time, Leila's breath was a little unstable, and it seemed that she was about to be promoted to a legend.

"Alice and Ya'er both wanted to come, and they didn't want each other to come, so they made me come after a lot of noise." Leila was a little more cheerful than Liya, but only a little bit.

Julian looked at Leila, and suddenly had some strange thoughts. It seemed that Leila was somewhat similar to that Princess Selena. Although the background and strength of the two were quite different, their appearance and temperament were really very similar.

They are all serious and serious female knights. Julian turned his eyes and stared at Leila closely, which made Leila feel quite uncomfortable, and asked hesitantly: "Master, you."

"Layla, do you still remember your first dream?" Julian asked suddenly.

Leila hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and then added: "But that was a dream in the past, and now I just want to be your master's lance and wipe out all enemies for you."

Julian stretched out his hand to hold Layla in his arms with a smile, and then said softly: "Your two dreams, whether it's being a female knight who resounds across the continent, or sweeping away enemies for me, can be realized together. "

Julian whispered next to Leila's ear, "The price is to be covered in blood and become an existence that everyone fears."

Leila was taken aback when she heard the words, then looked at Julian obsessively with her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "For you, my master, Leila is willing to be covered in blood and fall into the devil's abyss."

"Very good, Layla, come and accept the gift from the master." Julian nodded in satisfaction, and then hugged Layla, he was ready to help Layla break through the legendary rank.

Julian's assistance is naturally an original method of dual cultivation of magic and path.

Time has passed, several months have passed, while Julian is working hard on the fertile fields at home, he communicates with Princess Selina who is far away in Visa City through letters. Unknowingly, the two sides have developed into like-minded pen pals.

This kind of spiritual compatibility makes Selena happier than the subordination of status. The Augustus collar is gradually prosperous, and it also makes Selina feel that her spiritual friend is a truly reliable one. knight.

You must know that the career of pioneer knights has not been smooth sailing. Dozens of pioneer knights have been attacked by demons or monsters in succession. They have suffered heavy losses, and several of them even died in battle.

Among the remaining pioneering knights, only Julian's Augustus Land is the most prosperous. In Julian's report, he described that he had contacted the current Grand Duke of the Falcon Principality hiding on Mount Tyrell, and reached an agreement. trade contract.

Selena didn't have much doubt about this, she had a lot of trust in Julian who hadn't met yet, and approved many of Julian's requests.

Including allowing Julian to increase the recruitment of refugees, caravan entry and exit permits, etc., which made Julian's reputation quite loud in Visa City. As long as the pioneer knights succeed, they can get the title of baron. If they do well enough , and even get the title of viscount or even earl.

But on the other hand, the conflict between Selena and the capital is getting worse. The capital wants to limit Selena's rights, but it also hopes that Selena can stabilize the situation in the south.

Under the guidance of Julian, Selena also understood that without power and strength, she cannot realize her ambitions, cannot really drive out the devil, and make the people stable and prosperous.

As a result, he became more and more repulsive to the shackles that the capital wanted to increase, which in turn made the capital even more suspicious of Selina's ulterior motives.

What's more, under Julian's instigation, Selina treated nobles and commoners equally, resolutely cracked down on the illegal behavior of those profiteers, and punished the nobles who committed crimes fairly.

But this kind of justice is the biggest injustice to the nobles. More and more nobles forget the praises that Princess Selena had won after the victory, and continue to spread the arrogance and hypocrisy of Princess Selina, and rumors that the princess His Highness wants to support himself as queen.

Under such circumstances, the king's capital and the princess naturally became more and more alienated, and Julian also rushed to Visa City under such circumstances.

At this time, outside the city of Visa, the number of refugees has decreased a lot. Julian has recruited nearly 1 people from here, and now there are actually more than [-] people in the Augustus Territory, and most of the extra people They were all transferred from Essinger Town and Hegu Town, mixed in the crowd, and spread the Church of Destiny.

Even some Destiny believers are gradually infiltrating to other places through caravans, becoming more and more like a real cult.

Julian was quite satisfied with this, but for those believers, Julian still set up a confinement spell to prevent them from being caught by other churches and confessing the details of the Destiny Cult.

The city of Visa has also become much cleaner and tidy, but the inexplicable smell of gunpowder has become stronger and stronger. It seems that there is an undercurrent lurking, but Julian is well aware of this, and even secretly proud of it.

"Stop! You are Julian—Augustus?" came an arrogant voice, and the target seemed to be Julian.

Stretching out his hand to stop the accompanying knights, Julian turned his head and saw a young knight in gorgeous plate armor looking at him coldly while holding the sword hilt tightly, looking full of hostility.

Julian immediately realized in his heart that in the past few months, he has been sending back good news, and truckloads of monsters and demon heads were sent back as trophies. The entire four southern counties began to spread his reputation.

The bard has already composed music for him and sang it, just like a legendary hero. At the same time, he has a close relationship with Her Royal Highness through private letters, which has also aroused many speculations, which will naturally attract a lot of hostility.
