Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 334 The Unbreakable Slate

"My lord, all the city defense troops who can come have already arrived."

Rod Sergei led the city defense army to line up in front of Cyril.Cyril looked at the soldiers lined up in the long grass. Not many people came, less than 50 in total, but they were the most elite group in Siliki's current army.

Three-quarters of these soldiers were trained by Atsk.They were trained in Solconen's orthodox La Rochelle light infantry regiment, equipped with swords, shields and light armor.

Such a legion has a very strong adaptability, and can choose the equipment to carry with it according to the opponent, such as short crossbows, or equipment for cavalry.At the same time, the light armor allows them to have a better marching ability, and they can even march at high speed under the blessing of the mage.

Of course, the most important thing is that this equipment costs less money. After Gene spent most of Siliki's savings and small treasury on food supplies, this is the only armament he can afford.

And the remaining quarter can be regarded as Cyril's old friends-the ten halberd soldiers who followed Gene O'Connor to the northeast from the central part of Amasir have already been in magic with Cyril. There has been preliminary cooperation in the plains.

I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the Amasir halberd soldiers is indeed worthy of praise. They are well-equipped and more disciplined than their colleagues on one side. The spirit and spirit displayed by the standing posture alone are different.

And these old friends have also spontaneously promoted their young new lord to the remaining soldiers, boasting of his miraculous performance in the magic plain, making these soldiers yearn for it.Therefore, they did not have any resistance to Cyril, who was standing as the leader before Jean.

"Okay, everyone, naturally there is a more important task for you to come here when Siliki is in a state of ruin."

Cyril cleared his throat, there are men who can be dispatched, and there is no need to be alone in danger.

"I need you to search the field in front of you and report any abnormalities immediately."

The soldiers took orders and immediately dispersed into the field covered with long grass.

Cyril folded his arms and stood aside, quietly waiting for the result.

There is indeed an anomaly in the area in front of him, and the anomaly is that the elements cannot even enter it, and even if they barely enter it, it will soon dissipate.

In principle, this is similar to "forbidden magic".

He turned to look at Cecilia Romanuk next to him. She had already mentioned the word "natural element" several times.Although Cyril had pretended not to care before, this point is very crucial.

She also perceives the uniqueness of this area through the abnormality of natural elements.

"Cecilia, there is a question I want to know more." He said, waking up Cecilia who was frowning and staring at the grass in front of her in a daze.The latter froze for a moment, and quickly patted his face with his hand to make sure he was awake.

And Cyril continued to ask: "As far as I know, the Romanuk family has not dabbled too much in agriculture. Why do you know about these planting-related knowledge? Those farmers trust you very much, I can see it."

When he walked into the farmland, Cyril saw the farmers waving to Cecilia, and Cecilia returned the greetings one by one, without any airs from the big family.

"This..." Cecilia hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Actually, it's not a secret thing. My uncle, who doesn't do business properly, once learned from halflings and learned some skills..."

"Halfling?" Cyril immediately called out the halfling mage whom he had seen in Solkonan, Sivir Fox.Halflings love life, and the most representative expression is their love of planting.

If you visit the halfling's homeland in autumn, you can see large wheat waves shaking in the wind, it is a golden ocean.

"So you learned about it from your uncle?"

"Hmm..." Cecilia lowered her head. She was embarrassed to say that her mother originally planned to train herself to be a teacher, but in the end, she didn't work properly and followed her uncle to learn a lot of farming skills.

"Including natural elements?"

"Hmm... ah ah ah?"

She raised her head all of a sudden, her mouth opened so wide that it could almost fit a fist.Cyril was no longer surprised by the effect of her exaggerated expression, and now he just smiled and said, "You have said it yourself a few times."

He watched Cecilia's expression change repeatedly, hesitated for a while and struggled for a while, finally gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Yes, I have a certain ability to perceive natural elements, so I want to take my sisters to A Marciel, I originally wanted to be a druid, I heard that they are good at perceiving nature..."

"Druid?" Cyril thought of the Druids he had seen, all crooked, Cecilia ran in, it was like flowers running into a dunghill, and waved his hands quickly,

"Forget it, this is not suitable for you, and now you are the Minister of Agriculture of my Siliki... You don't have to think about letting druids protect you, or the same sentence, now you are a resident of Siliki, I will naturally protect your safety."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a rustling sound from the grass behind him, and then someone shouted loudly: "My lord, I found it, here is a stone slab!"

"slate?"

Cyril became energetic in an instant, and with a wave of his hand, he brought a few people around him forward.

At this time, a large area of ​​long grass has been cleared, and even a piece of soil has been dug up in the vacated area.Rhodes stood in the center of the field and waved to Cyril.

When Cyril stepped forward, he saw a silver slate, shining brightly in the sun.

"Can it be opened?"

"It can't be opened, it seems to fit here completely." Rhodes shook his head, "I didn't find anything like a keyhole."

Cyril squatted down, and there were lines and lines on the stone slab deep in it, each line was as thick as an index finger.They are interlaced, forming a loop, which looks like a map, but no terrain matches the pattern on the stone slab.

Alina beside her couldn't help frowning—she didn't like this kind of stone slab embedded in the ground, and if she was not careful, she would think of it as the entrance of the Dragon Corpse Dungeon.

Cyril knocked with his hand, but there was no echo from the thick stone slab, and he knocked twice with the hilt of his sword, but there was still no response.

"Do you want me to chop an ax?" Gene on the side was eager to try, but saw the half-elf boy make a "spread" gesture, and then put a hand on the stone slab.

Immediately afterwards, a cyan light lit up from the stone slab, and the magic power in the wind element pool was running, and the magic power surged out of Cyril's body.But seeing the blue light flowing, like a flowing liquid, it filled the lines as wide as the index finger in an instant.

"effective!"

Elena spoke, but Cyril frowned, and saw that the magic power that was still flowing rapidly stopped suddenly, and then amidst a burst of "crackling" sound like an explosion, the blue light that was filled in just now quickly retreated, blinking The time disappears.

He withdrew his hand and shook his head.

The magic power that was just consumed did not return to the body, and completely dissipated on the stone slab.

"This stuff... is really evil." Gene took a breath, he was the kind of pure warrior who couldn't understand things related to spells at all.

"Erina, come and try."

"Ah?" Elena was stunned for a moment, and Cyril had already grabbed her wrist, pressed her hand on the stone slab, and then almost whispered next to her ear: "Ice and fire, try it once." .”

The girl blushed, shivered slightly, closed her eyes and concentrated, and circulated the magic power in her body. In the blink of an eye, the red light flowed on the stone slab, just like the blue light before, quickly filling the lines.

But because Elena's magic power was far inferior to Cyril's, those magic powers hadn't even accumulated half of the road map, and the crackling explosion sounded again, and the progress was reset to zero all of a sudden.

"This..." Elena opened her eyes, turned her head to the side, and saw the handsome profile of the young lord very close to her, and the latter's hand was still holding her wrist, which made her unclear. Should we do it again.

She was still hesitating, but felt her hand was loosened, and then Cyril took a deep breath: "No need, I know what the problem is."

Elina followed Cyril to stand up, and saw Cyril walking straight towards Gene: "Gene, I want to know if there is a magic crystal in Siliki's warehouse?"

"Magic crystal? How could there be such a thing." Gene shook his head and said, "The only one that may have a magic crystal is the Boyle Chamber of Commerce, but that was a few years ago..." He paused for a while , there was a thoughtful look on that rough face: "But if you have enough Gentry, I have a way to get you a few dollars."

"That's too slow." Cyril sighed, "It seems that I just met Mr. Mark, and I have to go back to find him again."

In the Boyle Chamber of Commerce, President Mark Boyle was carefully supporting the precious porcelain that had survived the riots and fell to the ground. on the ground.

This time the vase didn't survive again, it fell askew and shattered.

"Ah!" President Mark howled, and wrote down an additional loss in his notebook: "-30 Gentry."

On this day, the Boyle Chamber of Commerce has lost more than 200 Gentry in light of decorations and buildings, not to mention the medical expenses of a group of mercenaries - the Boyle Chamber of Commerce has suffered serious losses in the past year. This time it was even worse.

You said I was playing around with my brain, why would I want to provoke that new lord?

At this time, Chairman Boyle just wanted to call the group of officers who were discussing the plan to scold him. Is the new lord sent by Solkonan a simple person?The water here is very deep, how can it be so easy to grasp?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, sitting on the soft sofa, touching the expensive conference table that was broken in front of him, his plump belly was trembling.However, in the next second, there was a rush of footsteps outside the broken door, and a member of the chamber of commerce ran into the conference room, wailing:

"President, President, he is back!"

"Him? Who's back?"

"The new lord, Cyril Adrian! He brought a bunch of city defense troops and blocked the door of the chamber of commerce!"

President Boyle was so startled that he stood up all of a sudden, but because of his stature, he fell back onto the sofa again.He struggled and thumped twice, finally got up out of breath, and waved his hands: "Quick, quick!"

"What are you doing? Call someone to beat him out?"

"Fuck you! Go and greet me! No, I'll go in person!"

At the door of the Boyle Chamber of Commerce, Cyril was riding a horse, yawning.Both Baron Jean and Atsk were being squeezed by him to formulate training plans, and they had to reproduce the Amasir Halberdiers in Siliki.

Such an easy-to-use unit, it would be a waste not to learn it.

Not long after he waited at the door, he heard a grunting sound from the door of the chamber of commerce, and then the fat and fat Mark Boyle rolled out like a ball, with a look of terrified fear, almost kneeling on the ground. Before him:

"Your lord is here to welcome you..."

"There's no need for polite words, President Boyle." Cyril jumped off his horse, put his hands behind his back, and walked into the chamber of commerce by himself, while President Boyle was half a body behind him, following carefully.

"I don't know if the lord is here this time because he is short of money or..."

"lack."

Boyer was overjoyed. Things that can be solved with money are not considered things. He continued: "If you are short of money, I can borrow some funds to the lord first..."

However, the boy waved his hand lightly: "There is no shortage."

President Boyle almost gritted his teeth, so he could only follow the boy into the meeting room, watched him sit on the soft sofa in his own seat, and then put his hands together in front of him, with the expression " False" smile:

"President Boyle, why are you so cautious? Sit down."

Cyril watched President Boyle sit down in a panic, and said slowly: "I know very well that you are just greedy for profit, thinking that after driving me away, you can easily take Siliki as your own. "

"It's a pity that you are too shallow. Even if you can drive me away, do you think you are O'Connor's opponent?"

Chairman Boyle is certainly not O'Connor's opponent, after all, this is the case in the history of the game-not to mention that O'Connor holds the city defense army in his hand, and his own strength is the top in this area, and he can run over the Chamber of Commerce with a light grinder.

He looked at Boyle and nodded again and again, the fat on his face swayed like the cheeks of a bulldog, and he thought that it would be sensible to grow up now, he is not stubborn, and he will not play "legs" with him "game.

"Furthermore, if you are allowed to do it yourself, it will take decades for you to stabilize the internal markets of Siliki, Yevwind, and Somi at most. There are no impactful new products, and you can even break into Ama It’s not even possible in the middle of Syr, let alone get out of Amasir.”

"With me here, you have the opportunity to go further."

The young lord lightly tapped the crooked long table top with his fingers, one by one. Looking at President Boyle's pensive expression, he smiled and said:

"However, before the so-called Baye Grand Plan is launched, there is a favor that needs the help of the president."

As he spoke, he suddenly pressed closer, almost in front of President Boyle, and said coldly:
"I want to know, where did the magic crystal that your Chamber of Commerce made a fortune a few years ago come from?"

　Thank you Panda Shanren for the reward of 1500 starting coins, thank you
　　Thanks for the rewards of World Sweat, Tianxia Fengyun, Yangyangyang 2020, etc., thank you!
　　I haven't been in a good state for the past few days, and the new plot is a little unclear. Let me sort out the poi on the weekend...
