Lord of War

  Elsie really seriously thought about becoming a knight of the church, of course, he also thought about how to sell or sublet his territory. Of course, the most ideal trading partner is actually Sean. It’s just because of the contradiction between the Kingdom of Darbion and the Principality of Lane that it is impossible for Elsie to sell this land to Sean. Even if he does, don’t say Da Regardless of the attitude of the Kingdom of Bion, the Boulder family was the first to not let Elsie go.

  As long as Elsie is accused of treason, the entire Boulder family will be unlucky immediately. For the Boulder family, who are good at political investment, it is naturally impossible to allow such a thing to happen, so it is destined that Elsie's territory cannot be sold to Sean.

  But for such a barren territory, Sean is actually not very interested. It's just that the Mordege collar does have a certain strategic value. If you regard this as a forward base, then you can attack the other five surrounding territories, and you can return to the black reef grassland when you retreat. The space for strategic activities is extremely high. It is large, and because the Mordege collar is relatively small and the terrain is not suitable for cavalry operations, the defense is not difficult.

  Of course, all of this is viewed from a strategic perspective.

  But Shaun estimated that besides Asuna, probably no one would be interested in this realm.

  After breakfast, Sean also lived in this manor in Elsie. But now that he has settled on the purchase of black steel stone, Sean does not intend to stay in Modger for too long. He is ready to experience the life of a farmhouse in Elsie this manor for a few days, and then turn to Entering the Territory of Setius from the northeast, he remembered that there was a cave in this territory. It was a gathering place for cultists. Xiao En vaguely remembered that it was a Tier 4 copy.

  I just don’t know, whether this copy has been opened now.

  Of course, the copy itself does not actually produce any good things. However, what Shaun wants is not equipment, but experience points. Of course, there are things that can be used as sacrifices. In any case, he must get a demon or other powerful creature of the same type as a curse seal. Power, and there happens to be a sacrificial platform under the Black Swan Castle. If you don't make good use of it, then you will be a little sorry for Shaun.

  In this way, Sean was planning the next itinerary while thinking about where to get the right sacrifice.

  The life of the farmhouse is somewhat novel to Sean, who has never experienced it before. But no matter how novel, he couldn't stay here all the time, so when he lived in the manor until the fourth day, Sean chose to bid farewell to Elsie.

   Cassius has not returned, but Sean and Elsie have already guessed this. After all, this trip is going to the Millennium Covenant Empire, and it will take about half a year to return. And Elsie clearly knew that Sean could not live in his manor forever, so when they parted, they didn’t have much disappointment. How unwilling to give up.

  What's more, from the beginning, Sean and Elsie were actually destined to be members of the two camps-at least in the current situation, they are indeed the case.

  "If there is anything you need my help, let people come to Black Swan Castle to find me." Shaun said, "As long as I say it was sent by Elsie, I will know."

   "Got it." Elsie nodded, "The black steel stone you want, I will arrange for someone from the stone factory to send it to you as soon as possible."

   "Then I'm leaving."

"Take care of yourself."

   "You are yourself." Sean laughed. "When a lord treats you like this, I really have only seen you in my life."

  Elsie did not refute this, but just smiled.

   Whether the friendship between the two lords of different factions can eventually be maintained as always, no one knows. But at least at this moment, both Sean and Elsie are one of the few friends who truly regard each other as their own.

  Sometimes, friendship comes so suddenly.

  Perhaps Sean did not refute Elsie’s invitation at the time because of his kindness and kindness. Because when he saw Elsie, Sean would think of Cecilia, maybe for this reason, so Sean didn’t have any pretensions when facing Elsie, at least he wouldn’t be so domineering-in this world On the previous page, there are only four people who can make Sean treat him equally and even sincerely protect him.

  Now even with Elsie Boulder, it’s just full of one hand.

  Even as the marquise of Asuna, Sean only regarded her as an ally, and the relationship between the two of them was merely mutual benefit.

  So this difference, although it seems normal, but for Sean and Elsie, it’s

   has a completely different meaning. It's just that these two people are not the kind of people who will talk about all of this, so it seems that one walks smartly and the other smiles clearly. As for whether there will be another intersection in the future, or this Whether the intersection is good or bad is not something they can easily decide.

  ……

  The sky was drizzling.

  This is the first rain that Sean saw after coming to the southern region.

  The world of the Marvel Continent is slightly different from the earth’s environment.

In this world, the climate in the northern part of the mainland is relatively mild and pleasant, and the land is mostly fertile; while in the southern part, the climate temperature difference is extremely obvious, usually in summer, it is relatively hot and humid, and with the arrival of the rainy season in late summer, The temperature will start to gradually get colder, until the cold winter has passed, the temperature will start to gradually rise. This is actually very different for Cecilia, who is used to the mild climate in the north that is almost like chun in all seasons. accustomed.

  It was just in order not to cause any trouble to Sean, so Cecilia never said this. After all, no matter how difficult the environment is, she has been able to support it. Now it is just a change of climate and environment. What's the big deal, she's used to it.

  When the first rain starts in the southern region, it means that the rainy season has begun at the end of summer.

  After leaving the Mordge leader, Shaun marched all the way to the northeast. After three days of walking, he finally officially entered the Setius leader. This territory is naturally many times larger than that of the Mordegar collar, because this is a standard earl. Lord Setius is an old earl over half a hundred years old. Although the decree in the territory is not a benevolent government, But at least the people can ensure that they don’t have to go hungry, which alone is relatively benevolent.

  Because of many territories, under the harsh rule of the lord, the life of the lord’s people is actually very difficult.

  After entering the regimental of Setius, Sean did not stop more, but rushed all the way to a small town called the Greense Hummingbird in the territory, and finally found a hotel in time for the first rain.

  There are not many residents in this hotel, only six or seven. Perhaps because of the rain, the tourists had nowhere to go for a while, so they all gathered in the lobby, enjoying their lunch while admiring the rain scene outside the window-of course, in fact, this scene is not Nothing good, but for the current situation, at least it can be better than nothing.

  So when Sean opened the door of the hotel and walked in, he still received a certain degree of attention. But Sean is not a beautiful woman after all, so after a quick glance, most travelers turn their gazes to other places, refusing to pay any attention. Perhaps the gaze for the few seconds just now is a rare sight. .

"Boss, is there anything new in the town lately?" Sean sat on the counter in the hotel lobby. Not only did he open a room, but he also asked for a piece of food. Maybe it was because he didn't eat very much in Modger. It was refreshing, and there was nothing good to eat along the way, so the lunch that Sean asked was extremely rich.

Probably because of Sean’s bold moves, after hearing what Shaun said, the boss thought about it very seriously, and then said: "What’s new...A group of mercenaries came the other day. I have been to the small town, but a few people have disappeared inexplicably these days. Now this group of mercenaries are busy looking for companions everywhere. Is this a new thing?"

   Hearing what the boss said, Sean grinned and said, "Forget it....It looks like this is really a weird thing."

"Isn't it." The innkeeper's chat box was opened, and suddenly there seemed to be a kind of gossip soul burning in his body, "In my opinion, the mercenaries probably couldn't stand the captain, so they ran away in private. But. The head of the regiment always insisted that his regiment members must have been attacked by inexplicable maliciousness. It is said that there are signs of fighting in their camp, but who can believe these things, maybe they have forged them themselves.... Mercenaries. , Nothing can be done."

The tourists in the hotel seemed to be very aware of the recent incidents of this group of mercenaries in the small town. For a time, the entire hotel began to communicate with each other on this matter. These people, regardless of whether they knew each other or not, all seemed to know. There is a chat without a sentence, and even a lot of my own conjecture. In this way, everyone will not look particularly boring, at least one thing can be discussed to pass the time.

  Hotels and taverns are actually the best places to gather information. Of course, this information is naturally mixed with a lot of water. If most people want to get useful information from it, they naturally need to squeeze the water well.

  However, Sean didn’t need to come to snoop on any information. He only needed to know one thing, and that was that a mercenary group had a companion missing.

  And this happened to be the signal that the cultist rally this instance started.
