Law of the Devil

Chapter 20 [Warcraft Event in Half-Corner City i]

Solskjaer's laboratory is in the south. Because the direction of his own research is biased towards fire magic.

In the south where the climate is hot, it is obvious that the fire element contained in nature is more abundant. Otherwise, it's not impossible to go to the icy and snowy north to study fire magic, but that would be a bit of a joke.

Du Wei made a decision and acted quickly.

Solskjaer was immediately released from the dungeon, and his magician's robes, as well as his equipment, bottles of powder, magic crystals, and parchment for magic spells were all returned to him.

Of course, the magician's robes were newly made.

For this young master, he was able to recruit a magician as his subordinate. The old butler of the castle was very surprised at first. But when he knew that Solskjaer was only a first-level magician, the old butler was relieved...that's how it was.

Du Wei proposed to go on a long trip. The old housekeeper could not refuse such a request, and he also said in the morning that he suggested that Du Wei can go to some of the family's properties in the territory to take a look and make an inspection, which is better than staying in the It is much more intuitive to look at the boring ledger in the castle.

Soon, the carriage, horses, and luggage were all ready. It's different from the shabby scene when I went south from the imperial capital. This time the old butler arranged much better. After all, it would be embarrassing if the young master of the family travels too shabby within the territory of the Luo Lin family.

It was still Made Du Wei's accompanying butler, but this time Made had ten more servants from the castle. Responsible for taking care of the young master all the way.

Among the guards of the castle, two cavalry squads were sent to protect Du Wei. Moreover, the deputy captain of the castle guard, a regular knight with good martial arts skills, will also lead the team personally. This vice-captain named Robert is a regular knight! He is a person certified by the Knights Association with a genuine four-level knight badge!

The accompanying two cavalry squads, one was Robert's squad directly under him, and the other was Du Weiqin's group of people who had followed him all the way from the imperial capital to the south.

This fourth-level knight named Robert looks tall and mighty, with broad shoulders, a majestic body, and a square face. He looks like a straight guy. For Du Wei, the little master, the knight was quite respectful in his attitude, and he seemed to be a pure warrior. Du Wei had a good impression of him.

In addition to these people, there was also a female knight among the accompanying people, who was naturally Du Wei's first direct subordinate recruited by Du Wei, Ruolin.

Coming out of the castle and heading south all the way, Robert fulfilled his duties very conscientiously on the way. He carefully arranged for the people to go to the front station and the guard work during the stay. Occasionally, when Du Wei was in a sudden mood, he proposed to camp outside at night, but Robert didn't make any comments, but nodded in agreement without saying a word. After going down, he will also carefully arrange the vigil and guards at night.

A very typical soldier.

This is Du Wei's evaluation of Robert. Obviously, this guy must have been in the military. As retainers of the Luo Lin family, a family of martial arts, many knights in the family have experience in the army.

Compared with the old butler who made Du Wei a little annoying, this loyal and dedicated knight was undoubtedly much more pleasing to the eye.

seven days.

Walking and watching, it took a full seven days for Du Wei and his party to reach a town in the southernmost part of Kote Province. Going further south, it was about to leave the scope of the Kurt Province, that is to say, it was about to leave the territory of the Luo Lin family.

In general, Du Wei is very satisfied with the situation of the Rowling family's territory. On this Luolin Plain with favorable geographical conditions, all he saw along the way were large tracts of farmland, rich farms, and leisurely farmers. Even if he occasionally passed by one or two slightly larger towns, he could still see the people here. Live well.

When their convoy is walking on the road, they often pass by one or two farms, and there will be some farmers standing on the side of the road. As long as they see these knights carrying the banner of the Rollins family, the farmers will wave their hats in salute from afar. .

It seems that the Luo Lin family is still very popular here.

Robert could also see that this little master didn't come out to inspect any family property at all. He simply took people out for sightseeing.

But this is not surprising. Considering the young master's age, Robert also thinks that a thirteen-year-old boy can really manage any family business? And these are not things he should care about, he just needs to fulfill his duties and act as a good protector.

On this day, when everyone reached the small town at the southernmost edge of Luo Lin's territory, Du Wei suddenly proposed to continue going south. Although Robert felt a little strange about this request, he did not object.

Anyway, it's a trip, since the little master is interested, then just follow him and continue south.

Moreover, going south after leaving Cote Province is the Lille Province of the Empire. The governor of the Lille Province is very friendly and respectful to the Luo Lin family. The young master of the Luo Lin family came to the Lille Province to play. Will definitely get some care, nothing to worry about.

Du Wei quickly fell in love with this obedient knight. He also saw that this knight Robert was also very popular among these cavalrymen. Often when camping, some young cavalry would ask him for martial arts skills.

Robert's martial arts are quite good - from Du Wei's point of view. This knight can wield a huge broadsword with astonishing strength! When guiding those young soldiers, seven or eight people couldn't get close to him.

Even Ruolin's follower, the bull warrior, was quite convinced by Robert. Because in one contest, Robert knocked down the bull warrior with only one hand holding the sword.

A fourth-level knight, his strength is indeed impressive.

Under such circumstances, Du Wei couldn't help feeling a little itchy, and proposed to ask Robert for some martial skills. Robert was a little surprised by the little master's request. Because, according to the family's management, if the son of a family patriarch like Du Wei wants to learn martial arts, he must find the knights with the highest martial arts skills in the family as teachers. team leader. .

Robert readily agreed, anyway, what he practiced was the Dou Qi training method taught in the imperial army. Nor is it a great secret. However, just like the evaluation made by the chief guard next to Earl Raymond back then, after a brief teaching, Robert had to tell Du Wei that he really didn't have the talent to practice martial arts.

Du Wei's current body has been bulky since he was a child, and he also had a serious illness, which is congenitally deficient.

Du Wei wasn't upset at all. He didn't expect himself to become a master, but he felt that it was necessary for him to exercise a little bit. Even if you can't become a master, it's good to be able to train your body to be stronger and healthier!

In this way, under the guidance of Robert, Du Wei began to learn some of the most basic martial arts, mainly some methods of physical exercise. And this situation also caused the speed of the group to go south to be a little slower.

On the ninth day of going south, the group came to a small town in the northeast of Lille Province in the southern part of the empire... Half Corner City.

It's an odd name because the city sits beside a valley shaped like a half-angle.

This small city is located on an important caravan route in the northeast of the province of Lille, so it is quite prosperous. Even in this small town, Du Wei and others actually saw a group of mercenaries of about twenty people! These mercenaries were escorting a caravan northward. It happened to be the same hotel as Du Wei and others.

The province of Lille is not the territory of some nobles, but a province directly under the empire. There are no high-ranking officials in such a small town, and Du Wei doesn't want to deal with those local officials, so staying in a hotel is more free. So the arrival of their group did not alarm the local officials.

At lunch time, Du Wei and others were in the lobby of the hotel, and the other caravan was on the other side of the lobby. Suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes outside the hotel, and after a burst of noise, the door was pushed open, and three knights in the armor of the local garrison walked in.

The leading one has a knight medal on his chest, which means that he is also a fourth-level knight, and the suit of armor and military badge on his body shows that he is a member of the local garrison. senior military officer.

The man strode in. Surrounded by several subordinates, he first came to those caravans and announced loudly: "Everyone! I am the Captain of the Second Cavalry Team of the Banjiao City Local Garrison Regiment. Now, according to the Local Armed Forces Law, on behalf of the local garrison of Half Corner City, I will formally requisition your guards! Because we don’t have enough troops now, we need your guards to assist us to carry out a mission in the Half Corner Valley outside the city. According to the laws of the Empire, you Not to refuse."

He spoke loudly, with a firm attitude, and then glanced at the caravan guards: "I know you are all mercenaries, and I am enlisting you to join my queue to perform missions, and the imperial military will pay you later .You now have half an hour to get your gear and horses in order! After half an hour, I need everyone to assemble at the hotel gate."

Although the mercenaries who acted as caravan guards were a little reluctant, the laws of the empire were like mountains, so they couldn't refuse such a thing, and they were paid anyway.

On the contrary, the caravan, seeing that the guards he hired with money was conscripted away, couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Immediately, a raised eyebrow came over, trying to make the officer accommodating...

"No!" The knight refused very simply: "I'm sorry, your trip will be delayed, but I promise it won't be too long. Your guards will be back by this time tomorrow at the latest. You can Choose to stay in this city for one more day, and for the extra day, your accommodation expenses in this hotel will be borne by the military! Please don’t say any more, this is the task of the military, I can’t accommodate you, please take it back It is a felony to bribe an officer!"

After finishing speaking, the knight left the caravan leader and turned to Du Wei and his party.

He originally announced to the police that he would recruit Du Wei's entourage, but after taking two steps, he suddenly saw the clothes of several entourages around Du Wei, as well as Du Wei's own attire... More importantly, he saw Du Wei's clothes. Robert and others behind Wei!

The armor Robert wore was obviously not made by the imperial military. It is like the equipment of the noble private army.

This kind of power to enlist the private army of other nobles is not something that a small cavalry captain of the local garrison can have!

Knight Span glanced at Du Wei, he hesitated for a while, but he really didn't have any manpower in his hands right now, and the task was really urgent, so he couldn't delay, finally he gritted his teeth and strode towards Du Wei . First bent down and gave a salute as a knight, and then said in a deep voice: "Dear sir, I..."

Having said that, Spann's voice suddenly choked up. Because he didn't pay attention just now, but now he can see clearly!

The several guard cavalrymen behind Du Wei wore the light armor on their chests, which was the badge of the Luo Lin family!

Originally, he wanted to use some means to borrow the other party's guards, but hehe, the famous imperial martial arts family, he can't just borrow it!

hell! People from the Rowling family? How did the Luo Lin family come to Banjiao City? Why is there no news at all...

Spann sighed helplessly.

"Please continue, Mr. Knight." Du Wei raised his glass with a smile and took a sip. This kind of light ale tastes good in the mouth, a bit like the rice wine he drank in his previous life.

"This... Dear Sir. Excuse me, do you come from the great Rowling family?" Spann's voice became more respectful, and he even unconsciously owed a little.

"That's right. We are from the Rolling Plains." This time it was Robert who spoke, and he took a step forward. His majestic body was half a head taller than the Spann knight: "This is my master, the Rolling Family Lei." Earl Meng's eldest son, Master Du Wei."

Span immediately saluted again, the son of the patriarch of the Luo Lin family, with such an identity, even facing the governor, he was on an equal footing.

"Mr. Knight, are you in any trouble?" Du Wei asked with a smile. .

"Yes..." Spann weighed in his heart for a while, and said truthfully: "I just received an urgent mission that requires about a hundred soldiers. But recently, it is the time for spring exercises, and most of the garrison in the half-corner city The soldiers were all taken to the south two hundred miles away for spring drills. At present, I have less than 20 people left under my command. Therefore, according to the local armament decree of the empire, I can only temporarily recruit warriors from the city on the spot. only temporarily effective.”

Du Wei nodded: "Oh, then, are you also planning to recruit my bodyguard?"

"No, no, dare not!" Spann was taken aback. He originally meant this, but after seeing the identity of the other party, how dare he do this?

Who is Count Raymond? He is the number two figure in the Imperial Army! Conscript his son's bodyguard? In case this young master encounters any accident due to the lack of guards around him, even beheading himself a hundred times will not be able to offset this crime.

"So, what exactly happened?" Du Wei was a little curious: "After all, we are here now. If something happens here, please tell me so that we can also make preparations."

Knight Span thought for a while and said it. His expression was a little helpless and distressed: "This matter is also strange to say. The Banjiao Mountain outside the Banjiao City has always been calm. This mountain is not high. The woods are not deep, and there used to be no big beasts. Even if there were, our local garrison usually went up the mountain every three to five times to hunt, and they were all hunted down! But just yesterday, a wild animal suddenly appeared out of nowhere. ...Warcraft!"

Du Wei's eyes lit up!

World of Warcraft?

"Yes, although it is not certain what kind of monster it is, it is certain that it is a big guy, because the hunter in the mountain saw the footprints of that monster with his own eyes. This is certain. It's just puzzling that, Warcraft generally do not live near human-inhabited cities. Even if there are, they should be in the wild forests on the southern border of the empire. Moreover, the entire province of Lille has not heard of warcraft infestation for decades. I don’t know where this thing came from.” Span smiled bitterly: “My people and I were ordered to go to the mountains to hunt and kill this guy, but according to my estimation, if such a big guy wants to kill it, I'm afraid there must be at least twenty soldiers. And the Banjiao Mountain is so big, if you round it up in the mountain, if you don't have a hundred soldiers, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

Warcraft...seems very interesting.

Du Wei couldn't help being tempted.

In fact, since he found a glimmer of hope to learn magic, he has recently become very interested in almost everything related to magic!

In this region in the southern hinterland of the empire, a rare magical beast unexpectedly appeared! How can you not join in the fun of this kind of thing?

"Very good! I have brought forty guards, each of whom is the elite cavalry of the Luo Lin family, and my captain is a fourth-level knight. I am willing to let them go with you to the Half Angle Mountain to carry out this task." Task. After all, it is not in line with my morality to just sit and watch a monster raging." Du Wei said these two words very righteously.

Span was stunned for a moment: "You mean...you are willing to lend me all your guards..."

"Master, this is not acceptable." Robert objected for the first time: "You can't be protected by your side. If you must go, I will take twenty people there."

Robert is very willing to help, after all, he is also a regular knight and believes in chivalry.

"No, no, don't worry that I don't have guards by my side." Du Wei smiled: "Because I will go with you. I think staying by your side is the safest thing, isn't it?"

Now both Robert and Spann are going to object.

Especially Spann! He began to regret why he told this young master of Luo Lin's family about it!

Take him with you? Whether or not you can catch a monster is a trivial matter! But if after going up the mountain, this young master encounters a little accident! Then I am really out of luck!

"You don't have to object." Du Wei made a straightforward decision: "Don't worry about my safety, don't forget, there is a magician with outstanding strength beside me!"

He pushed Solskjaer out.

Solskjaer was a little helpless. But although he can't talk about any outstanding strength, his identity as a magician is genuine.

Spann's eyes lit up!

Magician? If there is a powerful magician to assist, then this task should be no problem!

It's just... the safety of this young master...

(I read every book review carefully every day. The book reviews written by many book friends are quite high-quality, which made me feel ashamed after reading them. There are also some book friends who enthusiastically found information for me, and I am also grateful here.

In addition, I think that the so-called "reasonableness" in YY novels need not be too demanding, but only a rough idea, which is roughly reasonable, and that's fine. Otherwise, if every detail must be truthful and reasonable, That was really hard for me. If it must be said to be reasonable, then first of all, this kind of time travel is the biggest unreasonable, then there is no need for this book to exist, right? After all, this is an online novel, not a scientific research report. hehe……

Still the same sentence, thank you for your support, Xiao Wu will definitely work hard to write this book well.

Finally, don't forget to vote! )
