Panlong's rules are transcendent

Chapter 2 Action

It was already dark, and except for a few scattered lights in the town, most of the residents had fallen asleep.

Leian easily reached the outside of Laman Manor, calculated the time, climbed over the wall, accurately avoided the patrolling guards, and quietly lurked outside the study in the backyard.

As a baron, the study room of the Laman family is not small. It is an independent two-story attic with a rich collection of books.

After Leian became the guard captain, he was qualified to borrow books from the collection, so he knew the layout of the study very clearly.

He quietly climbed up to the second floor, bent down and walked along the corridor for a while, and stopped at a window.

In my memory, there is an independent room behind the window. In the past, Baron Laman would come here whether he was reading or discussing things with his son.

At this time, candlelight was on in the room, and three figures could be vaguely seen through the window paper.

Leian glanced at them quickly, knowing that if his guess was correct, these three people should be Laman, Benson, and the guard commander Karl.

The thought flashed across his mind, and he put his ear close to the window sill, held his breath quietly, and began to listen.

"Lord Baron, please think about this matter again. If someone discovers it, it may be difficult to deal with the empire!"

Judging from the title, the speaker should be Karl. His voice was low and slightly trembling, and his worry was palpable.

"Karl, don't worry, I have arranged everything. As long as you obey my arrangements, there will never be any mistakes."

The person who spoke had a firm tone and seemed to be full of confidence. Leian was very familiar with his voice. He was Baron Laman.

"Okay, okay, I hope everything goes well as you said, sir!"

Karl seemed to be sure that the Baron had made up his mind, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.

"Most definitely!"

Seeing that Karl was dealt with, Raman was in a good mood, and took advantage of the situation to strengthen his confidence, and then said:

"By the way, Karl, I have neglected fighting in these years. When the time comes to fight, it will be up to you. I believe you will not let me down, right?"

When it comes to fighting, Carl is full of confidence. After hearing this, he immediately promised: "Lord Baron, please rest assured that as both seventh-level warriors, Carl will definitely not lose to Elvis!"

"it is good!"

Raman patted Karl's shoulder lightly and ordered: "Then you go back and prepare now. We will meet at the river beach outside the town at this time tomorrow night."

"Okay, Lord Baron!" After making up his mind, Karl's attitude became much more straightforward.

When Raman saw this, he became even more satisfied and laughed softly: "Benson, please send our Commander Karl off for me!"

"Okay, Father!" Benson, who had been silent, also laughed.

Then, there was the sound of the door being pushed open.

Upon seeing this, Leian quickly left the window and avoided the stairs. He hid in a shadow and had no time to think about the words he just heard.

Judging from the conversation just now, he was obviously late and missed the specific process of their discussion.

However, judging from the "Elvis" mentioned by Carl, Ryan already has some guesses in his psychology.

This Elvis is also a lord, but his family is in decline. Now there is only a small town left, and his life is almost worse than Linley's family.

Linley's father could at least make a living by buying some stone sculptures and antiques; the Elvis family had short-sold the family several generations ago.

In order to maintain the lord's living standard, Elvis's father began organizing the family's guards to hunt monsters in the Youquan Mountains when he was young, and sold magic crystal cores to make money.

The Youquan Mountain Range is the largest mountain range in the Youquan Continent, and it is also the only place where monsters live. It has many branches, like tentacles. One of the branches is located in Hashan County, where Qingshi Town is located, less than three days away from Qingshi Town. distance.

Over the years, the hunting operations of Elvis and his son have been going smoothly. Even in the most dangerous times, several family guards were injured, and the father and son were only seriously injured at most.

However, people are not as good as flowers. Just half a month ago, during a hunting trip, Elvis and his son encountered a seriously injured level nine monster.

Both father and son are only seventh-level warriors. Even if the ninth-level monster is seriously injured and dying, they are not something they can deal with.

But people die for money, and birds die for food. A ninth-level magic crystal core is worth millions of gold coins. How could Elvis and his son miss it?

After a great battle, Elvis's father and the escort led by him were all killed. Only Elvis, who was seriously injured, returned to the territory with his father's body.

After that, the matter spread quickly in Hashan County.

At this moment, Leian heard in vain that Baron Laman ordered Commander Karl to deal with Elvis, and thought to himself:

Didn't this Lord Baron want to take advantage of Elvis's serious injury to rob his family? However, although Elvis and his son have sold a lot of magic crystal cores over the years and the family has a small amount of savings, they still wouldn't do such a shameful thing just for that little money?

Even though the Elvis family has declined, and even though the strong are respected on the continent, Elvis is still a lord and is protected by the Byron Empire. As Karl said, once the matter is leaked, it will be difficult to deal with the empire. .

Maybe I guessed wrong! Leian thought so.

Just as Leian was thinking, Benson had returned to the second floor of the study. Seeing that the father and son seemed to still have something to say, he touched it again.

This time, as soon as he sneaked under the window, Benson's voice came from inside.

"Father, Elvis has experienced life and death. Is it really enough to bring the people you mentioned in this operation? Otherwise, bring Leian with you. He is also a sixth-level warrior and should be able to perform. Quite an effect!”

Hearing Benson mention him, Leian immediately held his breath and listened attentively.

“Benson, my son, you are timid in doing things and your thinking is too simple.

"Although Elvis has rich combat experience, in the final analysis he is only a seventh-level fighter, and he is still seriously injured. There are two seventh-level fighters like me and Carl, plus you, Ryan, and Coren are three sixth-level fighters. Warrior, enough is enough!

"As for Leian, I admit that his strength will be a help, but his time as the guard captain is too short. You have to consider his loyalty. This operation must not reveal the slightest trace."

Raman seemed a little dissatisfied with his son's suggestion and did not hesitate to deny and criticize it.

After hearing this, Leian finally confirmed that his guess was correct. But they didn't expect that they would also bring the housekeeper Ryan and the guard captain Colen with them during this operation.

The entire Laman family has eight escort squads, each with twelve escort knights. Normally, six of the squads will be stationed in the other six towns under Baron Laman, and the remaining two squads will be stationed in Qingshi Town. .

Speaking of the guard team, they are not weak in strength. Each guard knight is at least a third-level warrior. As for the team leader, the minimum is a fifth-level warrior.

Currently, the eight team captains include five fifth-level warriors and three sixth-level warriors, the latter being Coren, Lev, and Leian.

Above the team leader, there is also a commander, Carl Albert.

In the study

In response to his father's merciless criticism, Benson seemed a little embarrassed and immediately retorted without giving up:

"I think you are being too cautious, father. With the heart-eroding potion, Leian has no choice but to be obedient!"

Heart-eroding potion is an alchemical potion. As long as you mix your own blood into the potion and give it to the target to drink, you can control the target's life and death at will.

Leian had been looking through the Raman family's collection of books all year round, so he naturally knew about this kind of potion, but he did not expect that the Raman family actually had this kind of potion in their collection.

When he thought that Benson actually wanted to give him this kind of control potion, he couldn't help but feel a murderous intention in his heart.

At the same time, thinking about the attitude of Commander Karl just now, and the guard captain Colen who was able to participate in this operation, he had to suspect that these two people were able to gain the trust of the Raman family, and I am afraid that they were both given a heart-eroding potion.

As if to confirm Leian's guess, Baron Laman snorted coldly:

"It's not that simple. The heart-eating potion is just the most basic control potion. An eighth-level light magician can easily purify it with the purification technique.

"Then Leian is too young. Being young means being bold, extreme, and difficult to control. Once his head gets hot, he might sell us out in order to get rid of control, or even drag us to death together.

"If you want to control this kind of person, you must not leave any handle for him, but you must tame a slave like a slave, with a whip in one hand and food in the other. Even if you want to give him hope and respect, you must not forget threats and warnings.

"Just like your father and I tamed Carl and Column, Benson, my son, you are still too young. You still need to study the knowledge in this for a few more years."

……

After some criticism and instruction, Raman sent his son back, and soon he himself left the study.

Under nightfall, Lei An returned to his small courtyard with complicated emotions.

In the bedroom, he rarely practiced meditation. From the previous conversation between Raman and his son, it could be seen that they had absolutely no good intentions towards him.

Maybe after this operation, they will give themselves the heart-eating potion, and then slowly carry out what they call "taming". Of course, they may have already given it, but they have never implemented the "taming" action.

Thinking of this, Lei An's heart boiled with murderous intent, and he could hardly control it. Fortunately, this heart-eroding potion was not like the "master-servant contract", which could only be lifted by the master himself.

If you are really poisoned by this kind of poison, as long as you can find an eighth-level light mage, you can get rid of it.

However, it is not an easy task to invite an eighth-level magician. At least for now, Leian can't do it.

Leian, however, was not one to sit still and wait for death. After thinking for a long time, he felt that the secret operation of Laman and his son might be an opportunity for him to get rid of control.

After all, in addition to the purification technique of the eighth-level magician, killing the poisoner is also a way to get rid of control.
