Dungeons & Dragons: I was kicked out of the team by Brave

"Together?" Nunalia frowned, "Let them come."

Soon, under the leadership of Atushen, a wretched and tired middle-aged man walked into the living room together with a dark primate.

They looked around cautiously, seemingly curious about what had just happened.

Nunalia said unhappily: "Duke Nord, why did you bring a slave?"

Duke Nord was stunned for a moment, then looked at the dark primate walking with him, and said with some understanding: "Dear Lady Nunalia, the one next to me is led by Nigel. Messenger, Duke Nigel’s younger brother, Nima.”

Nima opened a pair of bright teeth and said, using less standard common language: "Please don't discriminate, otherwise I will call on the minority groups throughout the empire to hold a grand march in Midenland!"

Nunalia's face instantly darkened, and her mood, which was not good enough, immediately hit the bottom.

Duke Nord, who is good at observing people's words, immediately said: "Ms. Nunnalia, my matter is not urgent. You can discuss it with the envoy from Nigel first, and don't worry about me. By the way, I met Mr. Nima on the road. We don’t know each other well.”

Duke Nord chose to protect himself wisely and immediately retreated to a corner.

Nunalia patiently asked with her usual cold temperament: "Nigel leader, what are you doing here?"

"First of all, we are not sub-humans." Nima waved her limbs and danced. "Secondly, your pronunciation of Nigel is not correct enough. It should be an authentic Erhua pronunciation. Do you understand Erhua pronunciation? It is Nige (er). ), er. I feel you are discriminating, our lives matter!"

Nunalia squeezed Richard's arm next to her tightly and said coldly: "Five minutes."

"Okay, we are here to ask for donations." Nima took out a list and said, "Due to the recent war, our children almost don't have enough to eat. And most children usually have to walk thirty miles to go to school. distance, we need money to build roads.”

"It's so pitiful." Nunalia was uncharacteristically compassionate.

Nima immediately gushed: "Yes, it is really pitiful, and not only that, we also want to send some students to study in Midengling, and hope that you can provide them with the highest-end treatment and..."

Nunalia's eyes were full of viciousness and she said: "I can donate to you, but not money."

Nima was confused: "Ah, what is that?"

Nunalia said in her briskest tone: "Some spiked whips so that when your little beasts go to school, you can whip them to make them run faster."

Nima immediately became angry like a gorilla. He shouted loudly: "What, you are insulting us! Do you believe it or not, I will start the parade now..."

Nunalia pinched Richard's arm impatiently. Richard understood, and a ball of blue flame rose up, and soon burned the dark primate to death with a violent and primitive attitude. Leave a little char.

Nunalia's mood immediately improved visibly.

This is just a small episode. It has always been the general consensus in the Silver Moon Empire that the people led by Nigel are not considered human beings, and no one will care about them.

Chapter 256: Restore your previous unruly attitude

Duke Nord, who was huddled in the corner, asked in a low voice: "Um, Lady Nunalia, is it my turn now?"

Nunalia said proudly: "The Duke of Nord came to the Midden Territory in person. This is a great thing. I think your attitude was not so gentle a few years ago. You should restore your former unruly attitude." The posture is better, otherwise I wouldn’t be used to it.”

Duke Nord's expression changed and he quickly said: "Ms. Nunalia, I never meant any harm."

Nunalia said calmly: "Of course, I believe that those bunkers facing the north must be used to defend against foreigners."

Duke Nord opened his eyes and lied: "Those...those are the emperor's arrangements. I can't comment on them, but my heart is absolutely to refuse. You know, it is difficult for me to refuse the emperor's orders. After all, the emperor was the emperor at that time." Like the sun is rising.”

As a buffer between Midenland and the four hinterland provinces directly under the royal family, Nordland's attitude has always been ambiguous. They will always be at odds between Middenland and the royal family.

But generally speaking, Nordland still favors the royal family, so it once caused a lot of trouble to Nanalia, which can be regarded as a big trouble.

But now almost all the Nord territory has been penetrated by demons. Although the Abyss Gate connecting to the bottomless abyss has been destroyed by Lathander's heavenly bombardment, the few demon legions left in place still defeated Nord with overwhelming force. Lead the only legion.

Nordland has become a purgatory on earth, and even with the support of kind camp creatures from all directions, it seems to be somewhat useless.

If the Nord Territory is to be restored to its original state, the only way to completely defeat those terrifying demon legions is to defeat them.

However, the royal family has now completely lost contact, and the only hope for Nordland is Middenland.

For the sake of the humans in Nord Territory, Duke Nord had no choice but to come to Midden Territory in person to pray for Nunalia's help, even if it would make him lose face.

Duke Nord said angrily with red eyes: "It's the truth. I still can't figure out why, in just one year, those demons were able to directly infiltrate into the wilderness city under my nose, and no priest or even god came to the city." I gave the warning and we didn't even have time to put up any resistance."

Richard explained: "It is probably the magic performed by Barr himself, who secretly interfered with your cognition. Those demons have actually been appearing in front of you openly, but you have completely rationalized it."

Richard really has the most say in this matter. Nasha, who came to Nordland following Baal's order, once explained this reason to Richard.

When Duke Nord heard Richard's explanation, cold sweat broke out on his back.He never imagined that those demons had been at peace with him for many years.

"So you want me to help you pacify the demon army in the Nord Territory?" Nanalia sneered. "Now that the Midden Territory is still being attacked by the orcs, do you think I have free manpower? Not to mention the Nord Territory. It has nothing to do with me, you should go to the emperor to complain."

The Duke of Nord gritted his teeth and said: "I know this is very abrupt, but the people of Nord Territory have no time. I will pay a sufficient price, for example... Nord Territory will be merged into Midden Territory, and I will be demoted to the An family name. A Marquis of His Majesty.”

After hearing Duke Nord's conditions, Nunalia was stunned for a moment, and then fell into a brief silence.

Such conditions are simply irresistible.

For a long time, the Midden Territory has been blocked by the Nord Territory in the northern border and unable to go south. The Nord Territory has been a thorn in the heart of Duke An of all generations, and he is displeased with it.

Duke Nord continued to persuade: "I know that all the Dukes of the An family have been coveting the land of the Nord Territory, and now is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But if I assist An Family, then the Nord Territory can truly be legitimately included in the An family's rule. , no need to bear the reputation of being an invader."

"A strong claim is really good. I am indeed a little moved." Nunalia changed her tone, "But how to prove your sincerity? You just gave me a simple promise, which is most likely just a lie."

Duke Nord simply said: "There is no way to prove it. Now I have nothing, and I can only swear to the gods in exchange for your trust. But I think with Lady Nunalia's courage, you shouldn't care about this. I am in a Midden Territory already shows the greatest sincerity, only I can make Midden Territory eat the entire Nord Territory quickly."

Nunalia said casually: "So now you have been demoted to a marquis, the No. 3 marquis under the Duke of Midden, the Marquis of Nord. Remember to report to the emperor later. I think many people's expressions will be wonderful."

Marquis Nord could only lower his head and greet Nunalia with the etiquette of a subordinate meeting.

Nunalia added: "By the way, you and your people cannot step out of Warm Winter City, otherwise it will be regarded as rebellion."

Marquis Nord said tiredly: "I understand, as long as Nord Territory can be saved, I can pay any price. Please hurry up. Today's disaster in Nord Territory is all my fault, and I am guilty."

After receiving Nunalia's promise, he fainted on the spot and was gently carried out by Atushen.

Nunalia asked Richard: "Hey, common people, is he lying?"

Richard responded softly: "I think you already know the answer."

Nunalia sarcastically said: "Oh, Duke Nord, he has more backbone than the wastes of the royal family. Unfortunately, I don't have enough troops to conquer the Nord Territory."

Richard said: "In a few days, I will go to the First Sanctuary of the Church of Dawn to meet with the Pope. If she can accept it, I can bring in an army of good quality, but it may be a bit scary."

Nunalia said with full of malice: "It doesn't matter. At worst, I will come forward in person. I would like to ask the Pope what he thinks of me. This time she directly warned Alof, which is equivalent to breaking her promise to never get involved in politics. She must Give me something to calm my anger.”

Richard was silent on this.

The Church of Dawn has not intervened in any government affairs in Midden Territory for thousands of years, but it has chosen to do something neither big nor small at this juncture. It is difficult not to make people suspicious of something.

After all, Nunalia has been openly cooperating with Barr's Murder Order, and the Church of Dawn has been acquiescing to it for a long time. It is totally unreasonable for her to suddenly become fierce and incompatible with each other.

So either there is something wrong with the Church of the Dawn, or there is something wrong with Nunalia.

Clintina put her hands on her hips and examined her: "Hey, Nunalia, and commoner Richard, first of all, I don't object to your conversation. Secondly, are you too close? Forget it in the orc territory. But this is the Duke's Palace, and my father is nearby."

"Hey, Clintina, I'm tired. I'll leave the remaining messengers to you. I think you know how to deal with them. Common people, come with me."

Nunalia waved her hand, pulled Richard over in front of Clintina, and walked into the side room.

Clintina could only respond with an angry gaze, and then helplessly faced the envoys from each province, in a panic.

Chapter 257 Wuhu is finished, face to face ntr

Nunalia took Richard to the depths of the Duke's Palace, almost to the highest point.

Warm Winter City is located in the last steep valley before the map of the Silver Moon Empire Plains. The Duke's Palace is directly located in the narrowest point between the two mountains. It is the tallest building in Warm Winter City, so the Duke's Palace itself is a Enhanced version of the pass.

As the core of Midenland, the Duke's Palace is divided into official areas and residential areas.

Officials and stewards are often restricted to the official area, and are not allowed to enter the highest residential area without special permission - it belongs only to the duke and his family.

There are only a very small number of carefully selected maids and some female personal guards in the residential area.

Richard stepped on the stairs and looked around curiously. This was the first time he went deep into the backyard of the Duke's Mansion.

"Ha, you have no knowledge, you country bumpkin." Nunalia walked at the front, turning her head to the side and saying with disdain from the corner of her eyes.

Richard didn't care at all, but the increasingly thinning magic power and the nearly severed magic network made him very uncomfortable.

This place is almost a forbidden zone, and all the magic power and magic nets are drawn away by a powerful magic circle. It can be said to be the most annoying place for mages.

Of course, Richard didn't feel very good. None of the staffs or scepters he carried were light.

Although the weapons made of precious metals are of excellent quality, they can weigh close to [-] kilograms each. Normally, Richard would use magic to make them float for easy holding in his hands, but now he can only carry them on his shoulders.

Even the ever-extinguishing blue flame at the top of the staff was dimmed.

Nunalia took Richard to a relatively familiar environment.

This is the place where Clintina and Richard got lost during the last banquet at the Duke's Palace. It is also the place where Richard met Nunalia for the first time. At that time, Nunalia seemed to be taking a bath in the hot springs.

However, after passing hundreds of stone stairs, Nunalia, who was already weak, could see that she was tired. She took off her robe and slowly walked into the bath, feeling the temperature of the spring water, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Nunalia still looked bossy and said: "Common people, think of a way to make walking on these damn stone stairs easier."

It was only then that Richard opened his eyes, sat beside the stone platform in the bathing pool, and said helplessly: "Your home is a forbidden area of ​​magic, and there is no magic method."

Nunalia still said in disgust: "Tsk, what's the use of you? The mage is really useless."

Richard said with a headache: "You can't think of mages as too many. Mages have limits. I don't have so many ways to satisfy your whims."

Nunalia still insisted: "Incompetent."

Obviously she has not been in a good mood today because of a series of events involving the Cha family and the Duke's palace guards.

Richard simply said: "Okay, okay, my fault, Mrs. Nunalia, please calm down."

Richard understood that Nunalia had never been a magnanimous person, and anything that went against her would make her resentful.

Nunalia was soaking in the hot spring, only showing her thin and white shoulders. Her long dark red hair was scattered randomly in the water, covering Richard's somewhat wanton sight.

He stretched out his hands and gently pressed on Nunalia's shoulders. He accidentally saw the divine emblem belonging to Baal on the back of her neck, which still exuded a faint aura of viciousness and cunning.

Then Richard lifted Nunalia's long hair and gently covered the divine emblem.

Nunalia curled her lips and said, "It's unnecessary."

Richard responded: "It's not necessary after all."

The two of them gradually fell into silence. Nunalia, who had always been awkward and full of bad intentions, didn't bother to find something to say. She simply enjoyed this rare peace, just like the journey in the orc territory, without being disturbed.

After a long time, Nunalia asked: "Aren't you curious?"

"Curious what?"

"Early warning from the Church of Dawn, and the rebellion of the personal guards."

Richard said indifferently: "No, I'm not curious. I only believe in Lathander when needed. Generally speaking, I am a believer of Suellen, but as a mage, I would rather make an appointment with the goddess of magic Mystra It’s a meeting, of course it’s not impossible to praise Baal a few times, I don’t care about that.”

Nunalia whispered: "Chaotic bastard, wallflower, will you betray me?"
