The voice of the Seven Emperors was cold and terrifying, as if it was the last chance that had just been given to them.

Colton realized.

He knew that no matter what he did, he would never be able to get half the sympathy of this monster.

The best thing to do is to do as he says and pray that you will die in peace.

After thinking about this, Colton replied:

"I heard that someone insulted my daughter, so I plan to bring him back and make him pay."

The Seven Emperors said, "

Do you know why that man insulted your daughter?"

"I know."

"Tell me."

"A waiter spilled a drink on my daughter's skirt, so when my daughter educated the waiter..."

Is this so-called education to ruthlessly commit violence to things like stains on clothes?

She even tried to cut off the arm of the person who stopped her. If that's education, then what do you think is the right education for me in this case? Was it the mayor of the border city who ordered his knights to bring the lord to him by force?

Colton flinched.

The Seven Emperors' gaze turned to Dambri, and he said, "Didn't

you say that you want me to crawl and kneel at your feet like a puppy and beg you for mercy?"

The faces of the kneeling Colton and Laika turned even darker, and they couldn't imagine that this madman would even dare to say such words to the lord.

Danburi couldn't suppress his fear

, and said with tears streaming down his eyes: "I know I made a big mistake, and I promise I won't do it again next time, please..." The

Seven Emperors shook their heads and said:

"I originally planned to let you go, I didn't want to cause trouble in the territory of other lords, but you people don't know what dignity and respect are."

"We have committed a mortal sin."

"I still have the same idea now, I'm too lazy to do something ridiculous."

Originally hearing what the Seven Emperors said, Colton's face softened a little.

However, hearing the next words, Colton's face turned pale.

"Since the matter happened on her territory, then wait for the Five Emperors to come and let him handle this matter."

It was also equivalent to giving Colton the death penalty.

If this news reaches the ears of the Five Emperors, it doesn't matter what the relationship between the Seven Emperors and the Five Emperors is.

A mayor or the like dares to insult a lord, this kind of thing is absolutely intolerable.

Even if the Seven Emperors do not strike immediately, it is inevitable that the future things will reach the ears of my Emperor, and the Five Emperors will take matters into their own hands.

The Seven Emperors stood up from their seats.

As if everything he wanted to say was over, he turned and walked towards the door of the hall.

Baros glanced left and right, and the knights standing beside him knelt down one after another.

Seventh King Ye stopped, glanced back, and said, "

If you have been trampling on others for a living with this power, don't you think you should be prepared to be trampled on like this one day?"

For the words of the Seventh Lord, Colton had nothing to say.

The figures of the Seven Emperors and the two attendants slowly left the hall and walked towards the door.

... ...

Leaving the mayor's mansion, Lin Qian's attention was completely diverted from the mayor's affairs.

First of all, Lin Qian did not deliberately want to punish them or retaliate against them.

Secondly, it was not Lin Qian's subordinates who showed mercy, but he felt that it was too humiliating to have his hands stained with blood for this kind of thing.

And no matter what, even if Lin Qian doesn't do anything, if this matter reaches the ears of the Five Emperors, the mayor and Danbri.

Either way, there will be a miserable end.

"Hmm."

It was late at night.

Back at the inn, Lin Qian looked at the treasure map that Thiel gave him again.

Moreover, Lin Qian compared this map with the map of the Fifth Lord's Territory to determine the location of the treasure map in more detail.

Of course, this was done with the help of Barros.

"On the northwestern border of the Fifth and Fourth Lords, there is a forest, and that seems to be the place marked on this map."

Although it is a slight detour, it is worth it to get the "mystery".

Lin Qian touched his chin, carefully looked at Thiel's map, and saw some strange symbols.

On one side of the map were unknown strange characters, and Lin Qian didn't know if it was a password or what.

It was related to the place he was looking for, but Lin Qian couldn't crack this code.

Lin Qian thought that Thiel might know, so he should ask him.

Just as Lin Qian stared at the text, Baros spoke.

"The greatest tree in the forest, when twilight completely fades, records that lifeless branches will guide the adventurer."

"Uh-huh!"

Lin Qian looked back at him in surprise.

"Can you read this?"

"Yes. This is one of the ancient passwords.

Lin Qian looked at him with his eyes and asked him how he knew, and Barros said:

"I know a little about ancient texts, because when I was an adventurer before, I was very interested in exploring ruins."

"Okay."

There's really nothing he can't do.

The reason he knew Calderick's geography so well was because he had such a past.

Lin Qian pondered for a moment, trying to decipher the meaning of this sentence.

"The largest tree" should refer to the largest tree in the forest, and does "when twilight completely fades" mean night?

But what does the last phrase "lifeless branches" mean?

Lin Qian asked Barros again:

"Do you know what a lifeless branch means?"

"Sorry, I don't know."

He didn't seem to understand what that meant.

When Lin Qian turned her gaze to Asher, she stood there a little dazed, and when she saw Lin Qian see her, she pretended to think quickly, and then shook her head.

Finally, Lin Qian determined the upcoming itinerary.

Start by heading to the forest marked on the map to find the largest tree.
