Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 109 107. Wendy's Past

"Master Viscount, we meet again"

To Rand's surprise, outside the tailor shop, Rand met Dugan Blue Dragon, the school's combat examiner, a senior knight, and the former captain of a certain knight order, who was vying for him.

"What a coincidence." Lante was a little surprised to see Du Hen. In his impression, the examiner had some opinions on him.

"It's no coincidence, I'm here to wait for you." Dugan's attitude was very sincere, but Rand didn't understand why Dugan was waiting here.

Dugan Blue Dragon invited Rand to a not-low-grade restaurant. Compared with the small restaurants near the school, the decoration here is very elegant, and even the drinks are extracted from magic plants.

"I want to join your territory." Dugan said bluntly, "To be honest, I used to be the squadron leader of the Royal Palace Knights, and I was sent to the school to be a teacher nine years ago because of some things."

Of course Rand knew that Du He must have changed from the squadron leader of the Knights to the school examiner because of the palace coup that year.

"You are a high-ranking knight. There must be many nobles who want to make you a family knight?" Lante didn't know what Dugan really thought.
I just thought it was a bit weird for him to mention it suddenly, so Rand wanted to play haha ​​and let today pass by.

"I've been in school for nine years."

Rand was right when he thought about it, so he simply opened the skylight and said the truth. "In this case, why do you want to join my territory?"

"As far as I know, you now have a knight order of hundreds of people, but there are no senior knights or great knights leading the team, and I have very rich experience in this area. The skills are handed over to you."

Lante didn't speak, he was really moved. With the number of his junior and intermediate knights, he only needed one or two senior knights as the leader, and his Galloping Horse Knights could overwhelm the Maned Wolf Knights.

But Dugan has a congenital defect, his surname is Blue Dragon, now Rant is really not sure whether Dugan came here on his own, or was appointed by the Blue Dragon family.

Although Rand is only a Viscount now, he already regarded the entire southern part of the Galloping Horse Plain as his territory two months ago, and he did not want the powerful Blue Dragon family to take a fancy to it.

"I do have a knight order with hundreds of people, and I really need a strong captain," Lante finally said, "But Mr. Dugan, why would you condescend to come to a viscount's knight order?

Although I have a lot of demon possessors, most of them are miners in the salt mine, and they may return to the salt mine to continue working in the future.

I don't have any wars to fight right now, and I don't intend to go to war with my lord. "

"I know, if you have any dissatisfaction with the Maned Wolf's family, you can just bring it up at the Blue Magpie City," Dugan smiled, knowing that Lante at least did not reject him.

"I chose you because you have already taken the territory of Rott, and you will surely open up the entire Benma Plain in the future."

"I am not the first Viscount Rotor"

"But you are the first Viscount Rotor who swept across the Galloping Horse Plain, you can't let the barbarians farm the land to support themselves, right?

There are not only salt mines but also iron mines on the plain. Only when you win the iron mines can you truly secure the Benma Plain.

But even if you are secure, you still need a group of senior knights and even great knights to guard you. "

Well, everyone knows that I am careful. The steps Du He mentioned are basically Rand's future plans.

Rand found it difficult to hide his plans, even on the frontier.

"So I really want to know, is it the goodwill of your family that you came to see me today?"

"The Blue Dragon family has good intentions for you, but it has nothing to do with me. There are more than 40 families under the Blue Dragon surname. In my family, there is only one magister, and I am the first high-level knight."

"Well, before I answer you, I want to ask you something old"

"My lord, I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to answer what happened to you 9 years ago"

"It doesn't take 9 years, it only takes 5 years." Rand replied while thinking, "Who wants to care about your coup 9 years ago?"

. . . . . . .

"You mean the conflict between the nobles and the commoner mage apprentices five years ago, I know." Dugan said as if lost in memory.

"I remember that girl's name is Wendy, right?

That is really an unforgettable girl, at that time the Tower of Purity gave a special place."

Lante didn't expect that this matter would involve the imperial capital, and he thought it was a matter of jealousy among the students.

"What happened to the Tower of Purity?"

"You don't think that a nobleman can kidnap a commoner student by himself, do you? Anyway, this school was founded by His Excellency McLaren."

"When Wendy came here, it happened that a group of intermediate magicians from the Tower of Purity came to be teachers. This is an exchange project between the Tower of Purity and the magic schools of various kingdoms.

At that time, Wendy had already demonstrated a magical talent far beyond ordinary people, and she could even communicate with magic goblins, which was considered to be something only a magister could do.

So at the end of the project, the magicians of the Tower of Purity invited Grand Magister Teferi. Grand Magister Teferi has been committed to discovering potential magic apprentices. The Dragon Kingdom fought for a place to go to the Tower of Purity.

That quota is to allow the kingdom to send a magic apprentice directly to the Tower of Purity. Although it is not stated clearly, this quota is obviously for Wendy. "

"So it was that quota that hurt Wendy instead?"

"Yes, the Tower of Purity means the legendary road, no one will not be tempted."

"Whose family's children have gone?"

"Flying Dragon"

"So that's how it is." Rand understood somewhat, "But are they so merciful? Didn't they kill Wendy?"

"You...you should stay in school for a few more days to finish learning the basic knowledge." Dugan said with some embarrassment.

"After the church was unified, that is, starting from 300 years ago, after the abnormal death of a demon possessor with faith, his resentment and afterimages during his lifetime will be noticed by the church and sent to the ruling department of the empire. The company believes that the demon owner was deliberately murdered, and will send corresponding forces to investigate and punish." Dugan explained.

Therefore, the investigation formed by the leftover thoughts of the dead is called the final appeal of death. This system ensures that the battles between demon possessors of the human race will basically not hurt their lives.

Of course, such a final death appeal system will be difficult to work on the Galloping Horse Plain due to the turbulent flow of magic. The barbarians will not kill human demon possessors just to increase slaves.

This also explains that in the previous combat assessment, Dugan has been playing foil with Rand, and Rand has been using deadly moves, because in Dugan's eyes, both sides should avoid killing by mistake; Rand has been running Horses fight on the plains, only knowing to avoid missing kills.

"This is what children need to learn in the first month of school, and they must remember the three main points as a demon owner, but you probably don't need this one on the Galloping Horse Plain."

"That's why there are so many exiled or excluded demon possessors on the Galloping Horse Plain." Rand finally understood why he was able to "pick up" so many subordinates in the past two months

"Of course, there are always exceptions to everything. It is said that the nobles of Kirislav do things very rough. They often get their enemies drunk and throw them into the river. Because the final appeal of death requires the deceased to have strong resentment, so drunk drowning may not cause death. Final lawsuit."

"But there will always be doubts." Rand could probably guess, "Examiner Dugan, I really need a high-level knight, but I still need you to prove your ability."

So Rand arranged a task for Dugan to help him find student information.

Of course, Duggan didn't just bring his mouth. He sent a letter to Rand, asking Rand to pass it on to Earl Corbin Joyasen, saying that the Earl could take care of Rand a little bit more after reading the letter.
