Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 52 Starting from scratch

Evelyn hung a blood-dripping leather bag beside the saddle, containing four freshly severed heads.

Because one of the black wizards was hit by the Death Curse by himself, there was no bones left, so the five brothers only had four heads for the crow to go back to work.

"Have you found that blood magic scroll?" Stannis still remembered the real purpose of their visit this time.

Evelyn shook her head. She searched carefully the remaining corpses just now, but did not find the stolen scroll. It seemed that the scroll had been taken away, as the black wizard said at the beginning.

As for the identity of the mysterious envoy, there is no clue, except for a ring carved with flames.

"Iron ring?" Stannis bit the surface of the ring, causing a toothache. It seems that this envoy is not doing well, and he made the ring out of iron.

But fortunately, although he escaped death in the dungeon this time, he finally got the spoils: a bag of gold coins, all the belongings that the quintuplets used to lure him.

Evelyn treated the wound on her waist a little, and then she was about to get on her horse and leave.

"Are you leaving? Is there no serious health problem?" Stannis was a little bit reluctant, and it was not so common to see such a beautiful and capable woman.

Evelyn looked at him without speaking, trying to suppress the thought of throwing herself into his arms, just like she did when she was younger.

Stannis shrugged. He knew the woman's hatred for him hadn't gone away.

"Then I wish you a smooth journey. By the way, your brother asked me to bring you a message: send letters home from time to time, and don't let his brother worry."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Hey, I forgot to tie the horse when I got off the horse just now, and I don't know where that beast went.

Just as he was scratching his head in embarrassment, the woman's cold voice sounded again.

"Stannis Justin." She called him by his full name.

The lord turned around, wouldn't she change her mind and chop herself up to relieve her anger?
Evelyn bit her lips hard, and the dazzling blood flowed out of her mouth, which was as sad as crying blood.

"You... have you ever loved me?"

what!It's not even to the extent that I like it, it's just love!

This question is beyond Stannis' cognition, since high school, he has not coaxed other women except Fifth Girl.

"I...I don't know." He finally told the truth, because he couldn't make his own decisions for the old Stannis.

The white-haired girl covered her mouth with her hands. She had vowed not to shed a single tear for the man in front of her, but she still couldn't help shedding tears when she heard this sentence with her own ears.

But her strong voice returned to calm, as cold as a machine, "I will clarify your contribution to this mission to the envoy of His Majesty the King of France, and a reward order will come down in a few days. Earl Stannis."

After finishing speaking, she nodded and turned to leave, never looking back.

Only Stannis was left melancholy in the wind...

...It is estimated that this time I will have to walk back to the territory on two feet.

A day later, Stannis, who was having breakfast, received an urgent letter from the capital.

It was signed by Evelyn Wolfe.

He threw the letter across to Robert, beckoning him to open it.

Robert opened the letter with the 'stone' in his mouth, and a piece of gold-edged coated paper slipped out of it.

The eyes of Bachelor Romon sitting on the right side lit up. He knew this type of paper, which was a special commendation order used by the church to reward.

"So fast?" Stannis didn't expect that he just finished fighting the Dark Wizard yesterday evening, and the reward order arrived this morning.

Robert cleared his throat and began to read the words written on this piece of paper.

"... His Excellency Count Stannis Justin, the lord of Ziziwini, performed bravely and fearlessly in this mission of hunting heretics, which made the heretics have nowhere to escape. I would like to commend him here. Stop being arrogant and impetuous, for a better tomorrow..."

Stannis' goosebumps were about to come out, and he signaled Robert not to continue reading. It seems that this kind of formalism is not outdated in any era and in any world.

"Boss, you are well-developed! There is the signature of the Emperor on it, maybe he really took a look at it." Robert said, patting the horse.

Stannis didn't think so.

"Is there a bonus that comes with this thing?" he asked.

"No."

"Can the surrounding lords fear me?"

"No."

"Can you get a bonus in picking up girls?"

"how is this possible!"

"Then this damn thing is useful!"

Robert thought for a while, as if this piece of paper was useless, he threw the commendation order on the ground like rubbish, and Bachelor Romond picked it up in distress.

Soon, after breakfast, Stannis began to assign tasks for the day.

First of all, in order to reflect Qi Weini's tradition of respecting the old and caring for the young, he specially gave the Grand Master Romon a three-day holiday.

"Boss, what about me, what about me! I'm only sixteen this year, so I'm considered young, but I'm just a little old-looking." Robert also wanted to make some money.

"Don't worry! It's your turn next. In view of Robert's hard work, hereby give the following rewards: all pocket money for this month will be deducted, and he will stand guard at the gate of the mill to collect money during Bachelor Romon's vacation."

"What!" Robert was shocked, "Why should I be punished! I didn't do anything wrong?"

Stannis glared at him, "You still have the face to ask! Yesterday I secretly switched my sword, which almost caused me to die. You can have fun without kicking you out!"

"That's impossible! The blacksmith in the village is too tight to press for debts, so I have no other choice. Besides, boss, your sword hasn't been used for a long time. It's almost rusted. Just let it realize its value!"

What a brazen man!He threatened forcefully, "Stop blah blah blah, don't obediently carry out my punishment, and be careful that I will deduct all your pocket money for a year!"

The still rambunctious Carrot quickly sat down on the seat obediently.

"By the way, Cook also has a share!" Stannis shouted.

The chef came out of nowhere and stood beside him, "What do you want from me? Dearest sweetheart~"

Stannis motioned him to stand away from him, and then threw a bag of gold coins - the spoils of the next dungeon - onto the table.

"I see that you have nothing to do all day long. It's really a waste of talent to make these junk foods. No, you can use the money here to open a canteen. Just set up a tent on the square of those merchants to sell food. I inspected it for a few days. , I think there must be a lot of money there because there is a lot of traffic, and the money you earn is [-]% and [-]%, you three and one seven."

Cook was overjoyed. He didn't expect someone to invest in him to open a store, so he quickly took the money and asked his kitchen helper to buy property.

"What about me, my lord?" Korodov asked, because now Kanye is responsible for training soldiers, which makes him the most idle one in the castle.

Stannis, "Of course I won't forget you, big man, and I'm going to leave you with the most important thing right now."

"I will do my best!" The knight commander said excitedly, "Then what is it?"

"That is to start from scratch and teach me how to be a knight."
