Gao Wunan's Legend of Wushuang

"Ha! Even so, I will remember the favor I owe you." Anglaus said seriously, his expression was equally serious.

"Just buy me a drink if you have time..." Gazef shrugged his shoulders and said, the time spent together had already made the two of them forge a deep friendship.

"Hey, don't focus on chatting, this is the time to drink! The dignified warrior commander doesn't want to be able to drink such a small glass of wine!" A large glass full of wine slammed on the table with a "bang", his arms were thicker than ordinary men said thick lady Gagaran.

"Ah! Gagaran, I can't drink any more." Ladis was drowsy, and her pretty face was flushed with drunkenness.

"Captain!" The twin ninjas quickly supported the blonde girl.

"Hahaha! That's it!" Ge Gelan laughed boldly, raised a bigger cup and drank it in one gulp.

Chapter 13

Facing Ge Gelan's gracious invitation, Gazef smiled wryly, picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses vigorously with everyone, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"What's your next plan?" After drinking a few glasses of wine, Gazef asked the man sitting next to him.

Sauron squeezed the wine glass in his hand and said casually: "The next step may be to visit various countries. It is said that there are various races on this continent. I want to get in touch with their representatives."

Everyone in Cang Qiangwei looked at each other. Compared with other adventurers, the man in front of him didn't seem to care about the temptation of money and power, and was more like a true and pure adventurer.

"Please let me follow you!" Anglaus stood up from the table and said with a deep bow.

Glancing at him, Sauron said coldly, "If you're not afraid of dying on the way, then feel free."

All the people present are or have been seasoned adventurers, and they know very well that going out on an adventure is not as romantic as in some legendary stories. The monsters and alien races scattered in the wild are often the source of danger, even for adamantite-level adventurers. Difficult to guarantee their own safety.

"Of course! In order to practice real swordsmanship, I have already put life and death aside!"

Gazef sighed in his heart, once upon a time, he also imagined to be a pure adventurer, but His Majesty Rambusa III valued him and bestowed the kingdom's four secret treasures on his body, making him dedicate all his loyalty to the kingdom.

"If you want to explore, we can help you." The voice that came suddenly was Evileye who had been silent since the beginning.

When everyone was looking at her, she snorted proudly and said: "We have traveled all over the world, and even dwarves and elves have made friends with each other. Without someone to guide the way, no one else can find their settlement."

The other party looked very young, and his body was not more than that of a girl, but no one present would think that an adventurer with adamantite rank would lie about this.

"It's such a happy decision! We also set off with you!"

The leader of Cang Qiangwei, the girl named Ladis clapped her hands suddenly and said, the girl's eyes seemed to be shining brightly after drinking too much, and she said in a chant-like voice, "Form a legendary team with like-minded friends, Tracing the footsteps of the sages, excavating the ruins scattered all over the land, looking for traces of heroes and demon gods, this will definitely be an epic story.”

"Here we go again, Captain..." As Cang Qiangwei, everyone knew very well about the wines of their own captain, the corners of their mouths twitched and they slapped their foreheads speechlessly.

The adventure plan was thus decided, and Gazef was watching all this happening before sending another invitation to Sauron, "Your Excellency, in order to thank you for everything you have done for the kingdom, His Majesty Lanbusa specially invites you Go to Wangcheng to thank you face to face."

Rambusa III, Sauron had heard of the name of the King of Reyestij. Generally speaking, he was a wise and lenient king. The fighting is serious, which makes the kingdom's national strength decline day by day.

In any case, the other party is a generous and wise monarch, so it is not surprising that he would offer to meet the hero who saved the capital.

"In that case, please lead the way!"

The two walked out of the hotel gate, where a carriage guarded by soldiers had been waiting for a long time. With the sound of rolling wheels, the two came to the bottom of a towering staircase in the palace.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Sauron." A girl who had been waiting for a long time said to the two people who got off the car next to a fountain bypassing the stairs, and next to her was Little Clem who was guarding her.

"It's Her Royal Highness Princess Lana." Gazef bowed slightly towards the person coming.

"Warrior Captain, Climb, can you let me and Lord Sauron have a few words alone?" The golden princess showed a flawless smile and asked the two of them politely...

In the long and narrow corridor of the palace, Gazef and Climb were hundreds of meters away and followed a man and a woman far ahead. Let the two of them look like they are exuding divine brilliance.

Climb suddenly felt a little lost, and Gazef patted him on the shoulder reassuringly.

However, they would never have imagined how rebellious the two people in front of them were saying.

"Ah, Your Excellency is such an unexpected existence, which made all my next plans useless." The girl said so, and the upper lips on both sides of her mouth curled up in surprising arcs.

If people see Princess Lana at this time, they will definitely be shocked, because this is completely different from the pure and kind "Golden Princess" they usually see. It is a black belly of a sophisticated politician. The expression, the ruthlessness that regards life as a number, and regards common people as objects to achieve their goals.

Completely ignoring some kind of resentment in the other party's words, Sauron looked straight ahead and said, "Then, is Her Royal Highness satisfied?"

"It's... a perfect prelude!" The golden princess's eyes sparkled, her whole body seemed to exude an intoxicated atmosphere, and she sang with a clear voice like an oriole: "Break the eight arms of the kingdom's dark forces, and save the capital from the demons." The hero who protects the country, even for a little girl, is a wonderful show. However, the nobles in the capital are very dissatisfied with allowing such an honor to a mere adventurer!"

"It's just a bunch of clowns who don't know the depth."

"Ahh! Is it your honor to regard the ruling class of the kingdom as a non-threatening clown? This makes me more confident in our plan."

Sauron glanced at her, "I never remember what I promised you, and I don't have any interest in your plan. Because there is absolutely no unnecessary need, I will take whatever I want with my own hands."

"Ahhh... What a fascinating man, but unfortunately I already have a loyal Clem sauce." Lana's cheeks had a suspicious "red" color, and her voice was as thin as a fox Cunningly, "But do you really not need other people's help? With this achievement, maybe you can easily become a legal... nobleman."

With the kingdom's outdated style, it would be difficult to ascend to the aristocratic class. Even Combat Commander Gazef, who was deeply trusted by the king, would not be able to become a knight of the lowest class of nobility. No.

Corresponding to this is the absolute leadership of the kingdom's nobles in their territory, which is a noble rule that the king cannot interfere with, and a symbol of power that is completely opposite to the empire.

Sauron suddenly stopped in his tracks. He took a deep look at the "golden princess" in front of him, and a smile of unknown meaning overflowed from the corner of his mouth, "There is no need to bury your true thoughts, Your Royal Highness? It's just a rotten thing that has been eliminated..."

While speaking, he suddenly pushed open the front door with both hands, and the chatter inside suddenly stopped, and pairs of eyes shot straight at him, with eyes of different emotions such as indifference, indifference, hostility, ridicule, arrogance, etc. .

And in front of all the nobles of the kingdom, sat an old man wearing a crown. He looked at the passer-by with some kind of strange eyes, with some kind of kindness and a little gratitude. This old man is today's Ri... Rambusa III, king of Yestij.

"Welcome, the hero who saved the capital, Your Excellency Sauron." The king slightly raised his arms towards Sauron to stop the discussion in the hall, "Please let us applaud the heroes!"

No matter whether it is true or not, the nobles clapped reservedly with fake smiles on their faces, all kinds of thoughts came and went in the air, and they secretly communicated with their allies.

Just last night, a huge incident happened in the capital. Although all the demons that attacked were repelled, the demons were obviously looking for something. During the process, the properties of the various nobles in the capital also suffered heavy losses.

However, the losses on the surface did not stop there. The people of the royal family took the opportunity to wipe out many "tumors" that resided in the behemoth of the kingdom, especially the few nobles who were involved with the original "Eight Finger Organization". It was very ugly, and the anger in his eyes almost overflowed.

Because of the active rescue measures, the prestige of the king's faction among the people has greatly increased. Whether it is the royalist faction or the aristocratic faction, almost all the people gathered. This is the first time in recent years.

"Then let's get started."

Wang's tone was subtly different from usual. People with keen minds had already guessed the content of today's gathering. They were either calmly waiting for the situation to develop, or sneered and prepared to explode.

Following the king's order, the attendants standing beside him began to read the contents of the parchment.

The general content is as follows:

[In memory of the adventurer His Excellency Sauron and his team who repelled the demon attack during the turmoil in the royal capital last night, and set up a feat to save the royal capital from the fire, by the pardon of King Reyestijeranbusa III, He was specially conferred the title of "Hero of Protecting the Nation", bestowed the title of "Baron" nobleman, and enshrined four pioneering villages, including Kahn Village near the city of Ye Lantil, as his territory. 】

Pioneering Village is a new territory created by a decree of the royal family. The people who lost their land spontaneously or organized to front the border to form a new territory by burning forests and reclaiming farmland. Theoretically, it belongs to the category of royal family territory.

However, although the pioneering village is barren, and the taxes in the first few years were reduced or exempted according to the law, it is a territory that can be passed on to future generations after all, and it has attracted the covetousness of many noble ministers. The royal faction and the noble faction have been fighting for a long time.

It is only natural that the entire four pioneering villages were given to an adventurer who jumped out suddenly. This order caused an uproar in the hall.

"This will never be allowed!" A rough but courageous shout sounded. Paul Lopuhou, known for his bravery, had many scars on his face that seemed to tremble with the excitement in his heart, "The glory of our nobles, How can an adventurer be defiled."

His expression was extremely arrogant, he didn't even look at Sauron who entered, as if the other party was just an unnecessary existence, but put all his energy into the game with the king.

The nobles shouted chaotically, and some even pointed their finger at Sauron, saying that the origin of this man was unknown, and it was more likely that he was a spy sent by the empire. Moreover, this demon attack was very sudden. Maybe there was something wrong with it? conspiracy.

"It's so ugly, this group of nobles! The ones who speak the loudest are the manipulators behind Eight Fingers." Said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, Princess Lana's eyes clearly shone with interest.

Rambusa III coughed, and glanced at Gazef, the loyal warrior commander immediately came out and said: "As for the identity of Your Excellency Sauron, I can assure you in the name of the warrior commander that he is definitely not from the empire. "

If it was someone from the empire, he only needed to sit back and watch the destruction of the royal city. There was no need to solve the disaster of the demon invasion and get rid of the eight-armed organization that endangered the safety of the kingdom.

And such a "hero" with a strong aura, Gazef never thought he would be a spy.

"We can trust the guarantee of the warrior captain. But adventurers collect rewards, and undertaking tasks is what they should do!" Another noble with status jumped up to attack.

On the noble side of the royalist faction, the young and handsome Besbeyahou came out and loudly refuted the words of the noble faction, "The demon army attacked the king all of a sudden, and there was no corresponding bounty and reward. If the establishment of meritorious persons If you don’t get the rewards you deserve, then who will contribute to the kingdom again in the future.”

The aristocratic faction immediately retorted, "Ah! Then rewards of money or official positions, such as the position of warrior commander, are enough..."

"This is a good proposal. I should be grateful to Dade for granting an official status to the Kingdom of Unidentified Persons!"

"Ahahahaha..."

The aristocratic faction seems to have made an appointment without prior agreement, and at the same time challenged the authority of the king, and even regarded this as the last bottom line of the aristocrats.

"My lords, if His Excellency Sauron, who has made such great contributions, only receives simple official positions and rewards, then what kind of comments will the adventurers and people watching all this outside the palace have? The royal family and nobles are just a bunch of miserly beings, far inferior to the miser of the imperial emperor."

The person who spoke was the second son of the king, Zanak, who was short, fat and ordinary but possessed the reputation of wisdom. He glanced at Sauron in front of the crowd, then fixed on the king, and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, if you Your Excellency thinks that the status of the baron is too rich, so a knight is the most suitable, and the number of villages in the corresponding fiefdom will remain the same, so that the people can feel the generous gift of the royal family."

"Father! Giving four villages to a foreign adventurer will make the meritorious officials who have been loyal to our royal family think about it. Please take it back!"

The first prince Barubro is a man with a strong body and a tough style. He looked directly at the second prince Zanak with hostile eyes, and said coldly: "...As for the so-called opinions of the people, they just enjoy protection." In any case, they are not as good as the soldiers who sacrificed their blood and lives for the kingdom."

His aggressive attitude was even disrespectful to his father, who is the king, but the statement of the eldest prince made the military forces among the nobles feel good, and even attracted the voices of the nobles.

Chapter 14 Intensification of Contradictions and Leaving

"The great prince and the aristocratic faction are showing favor to the neutral nobles." Even with Gazef's not-so-great political wisdom, he can understand the intentions at this level. After the demon attack, Zanuck actively participated in the rescue It attracted praise from the people, but Barubro hid in the palace and did not appear.

Zanuck, who doesn't look very good on the outside, is eye-catching because of the contrast. Ballubro must have felt the threat posed by the other party, so he responded so fiercely.

And behind him stood Paul Lopuhou, who was undoubtedly the leader of the aristocratic faction and the father-in-law of the eldest prince.

"Using the knighthood as a trigger to launch an attack? Is this the other party's intention... Then, how will the king respond."

If the king insisted on his own opinion, he would push the neutral faction to the opposite camp, and if he withdrew the order, it would not only damage the king's majesty, but also make the slightly advantaged position fall back or even be at a disadvantage, and even damage the reputation of the kingdom.

Wang, who seemed to be getting older, closed his eyes slightly, just when he was about to speak...

At this time, the crowd had been silent from the beginning, and Marquis Lei Wen, one of the six nobles, suddenly spoke up. This is a man with blond hair back and slender blue eyes. His face is paler than ordinary people. He will Focusing on the focus of the field, the man who caused the controversy in the palace, "Everyone, instead of arguing here, why don't we ask the parties for their opinions."

The violent reaction of the aristocrats obviously exceeded the king's expectations, and because of the sudden proposal of the eldest prince, the conflict in the incident was further intensified. If the king rejected the proposal of the aristocrats, it would inevitably intensify the already fierce conflict between the two parties; Compromise will make the situation that had improved slightly favor the aristocratic faction again.

Under such circumstances, it is the best way not to intensify the conflict between the two sides to propose by Lei Wenhou, who should belong to the neutral party. It is out of this consideration that Lei Wenhou, who has always been wise, suddenly speaks.

Signaling with his eyes, Marquis Lei Wen is looking forward to the response from the adventurer man. If even he himself refuses, the king will not be embarrassed, and the compensation afterwards will make him more satisfied.

For him, maintaining the balance between the two temporarily, and then tilting the balance of victory to the wiser second prince little by little, is the best way to preserve the kingdom.

It is an ironic fact that the man who is called a fool is actually the most capable and wise minister of the kingdom who is most concerned about state affairs.

Unfortunately, his idea is doomed to fail to come true...

Sauron suddenly burst out laughing.

The magic-like sound waves spread outward, causing the nobles present to show painful expressions, and many of them shone with the brilliance of expensive magic equipment. However, when the sound became louder and louder, the surrounding glass surface gradually Cracking, the brilliance of the magic equipment is also flickering, and it may break at any time.

The lights above the head were flickering, and with the sound of armor rubbing against the ground, the gate of the king's court burst open, and a group of well-dressed guards surrounded the man in the center.

The sound stopped abruptly!

The nobles shook their drowsy heads, looked at the man in the center with surprised and angry eyes, and began to criticize.

"Bastard... bastard! My head hurts!"

"Damn! It really is a spy of the empire, trying to assassinate us!"
