The lord is red again

The bad card game made Reeve feel very bad. As everything has been slowed down recently and there is no longer that sense of urgency, life in Star Dragon City has become much easier, but it is only a form of ease.

The invisible big stone pressing on people's hearts is getting heavier and heavier. The whole territory has become lifeless. Drinking in their spare time or gambling has become a way for everyone to vent their stress.

Of course, there are some unspeakable plots, but the lord is more supportive of them leaving offspring, and the knights happen to be the best choice for ordinary female workers to live a better life. Everyone is always cautious in choosing a spouse.

The lord rode the two-legged dragon and disappeared into the sky a few days ago. The long period of no news also made them feel uneasy, but no one thought there would be any danger.

Maybe the lord will ride the two-legged dragon directly across the snake catcher's fortress and return to Goliath.

Maybe... a lot of maybes.

"We have to get these guys drunk!" Reeve didn't want to be in heavy debt during his rare vacation. He had a way to get distilled liquor. It would be best to use his "big belly" to forgive these guys while everyone was confused and couldn't see the cards clearly.

His luck and card skills were terrible, but he could drink a lot.

Reeve began to dislike the entertainment left by the disappeared undead. The square card game kept taking away his money, and the only chips he had left were to help wash the underwear of the people in front of him.

He couldn't even wash his own underwear, so he really didn't understand why these bastards were obsessed with letting a rough guy do this.

"I'll go get the wine." After discovering that this hand of cards was visibly smelly and rotten, Reeve took the initiative to stand up. He pulled out a chair and threw out the cards that had not been dealt yet. He scratched his fingers twice and didn't allow others to refuse.

The other few were all infantrymen from the Second Legion. They saw through Reeve's tricks but could only grumble because Reeve could always get good wine. After all, Reeve was one of the first nine people to follow the Lord.

There were no more undeads in the tavern, but blacksmiths, pharmacists, warriors and other figures began to appear here frequently, and they were bored and wasting time.

This kind of life was actually much harder than the life before the doomsday, but after the doomsday, they were used to living a life of tension every day, and suddenly "relaxed" and even had a vacation, so they were a little uncomfortable.

Reeve walked around the crowd and saw the dwarf Ludo who was singing to coax the children. The dwarf stood on the table and sang loudly. The atmosphere was cheerful, and no one would laugh at his short stature. In this world, everyone is a monster.

Good accent, baritone or bass? The wooden ears can't tell.

He guessed that Ludo must have squeezed his buttocks when singing this line, because he asked Ludo for advice when he wanted to learn to sing. Ludo's answer was to squeeze his buttocks, and then imagine that a finger came uninvited, and he had to tighten to defend.

After hearing that weird practice method, Reeve suppressed his inner urge to learn.

He put his hands on his head and slapped them randomly, praising Ludo's buttocks-squeezing singing.

Reeve went to the kitchen to get a bottle of wine. He knew that Old Pete would definitely insult him without hesitation after knowing it, and maybe even ask about his grandmother. When there were only 10 people, Old Pete was willing to secretly share the meat with him because he was the youngest and was always the most cared for.

Now that he can eat meat as much as he wants, that guy is stingy with a few bottles of wine!

When Reeve was about to return to the table again, he saw a figure.

Dome, the hero in the siege of the undead, took the brunt of the attack as a wizard, carrying a sword and blowing the horn to help the lord.

But he also knew that the other party was a crazy wizard, and many of the things he studied were many times crazier than Miss Miko, Miss Brittany, etc.

So most of the time, he kept a distance from Dome.

The other party came hurriedly, with a white robe, white beard, and white hair. His figure immediately attracted the attention of everyone present after entering this place. People whispered to each other, and the topic of chat had obviously shifted to Dome.

Wizards are mysterious inside the Rand Kingdom, and they are also mysterious in the territory after the end of the world. They are responsible for various incomprehensible jobs. In short, the word "magic" can explain those things.

Under the tavern arcade built with mud bricks and wood blocks, Dome is looking for something.

"Mr. Dome?" Reeve took the initiative to walk over. He felt that he was probably the only one present who could take the initiative to approach. As one of the nine guards following the lord, he had the privilege of speaking frankly at certain times.

"Lord Reeve!" Dome recognized Reeve. Anyone who always heard this name when chatting with the lord would remember it.

"Who are you looking for? Or what?"

"I'm looking for Lord Lance," Dome hesitated, and then said, "I heard that he likes to drink with the soldiers."

"He is not in Star Dragon City," Reeve shook his head and said, "He left with the lord some time ago, riding a flying dragon together."

Not only Lance, most of Lind's men were assigned tasks, whether it was patrolling or something else, but Reeve happened to be on vacation today.

"Maybe I can help?" Reeve took the initiative to say, "If this matter is related to the lord's order, let me do it. I'm on vacation today."

"It is a very abominable act to disturb someone on vacation." Duo Mei nodded, he turned and walked out of the tavern, paused at the door and turned back to look at Reeve.

Reeve immediately followed him: "Shall we find a more hidden place to talk?"

"Let's talk while walking." Duo Mei did not mean to tell the secret immediately, his posture was very relaxed: "You know, I do a lot of things for the lord."

This is not a secret, such as maintaining the operation of the magic circle, developing some small magic that will flash, and recently learning to cultivate disasters by myself.

He must be one of the busiest people in the territory.

"I have been studying a magic circle recently. It was the order of the lord. We are all curious about unknown knowledge, and I finally achieved some results." Duo Mei's face was full of smiles, but he sighed immediately: "Although I didn't succeed, I got some not-so-good information from those results."

"What?" Reeve asked.

"A madman who was corrupted by the dark will. I don't know his name, but when I was perfecting the magic circle, I accidentally found some more bizarre information."

Dome gestured. He was a "book thief", but he was also very generous and wanted to share his knowledge. Unfortunately, the person standing in front of him didn't understand a word.

"The information left in the magic circle overlapped with a certain history that was glossed over in a chronicle I had read."

Dome, who has always had an infinite yearning for knowledge, finally stopped showing endless greed this time. His tone was serious, with persuasion, warning, and worry.

"What history?"

"Bugs" Dome said: "In history, someone used evil magic to create that kind of endless thing, and the magic circle information I got was a teleportation array that sent a specific race through the teleportation array. It was a magic array that teleported bugs!"

He said: "Maybe someone did it on purpose, or it might just be a historical legacy, but in any case, it's very dangerous."

"I'm a little confused" Reeve scratched his hair. He didn't understand, but he thought it must be the alcohol that affected his thinking, not that he was too stupid.

"Wait, you said the teleportation array, but there have been no bugs near us."

"This time it was the Cyclops that was sent here" Dome said: "The teleportation array was in tatters, and the order was messed up by time. I know the lord is not here, but we should destroy the teleportation array as soon as possible, before time sends something more unpredictable."

"But" Reeve said: "The lord went to the Cyclops' cave this time."
