Lord of the Oasis

When Kant led the team out of the official residence and headed towards the city gate to leave, many eyeliners who had been waiting outside the official residence to investigate, suddenly all left in the shadows and corners.

Including the five hooded men who had been eyeing Kant when they first came to the Stone Pass.

However, this is not the only one being followed.

Among the pedestrians outside the official residence, several civilians in shabby clothes also left in a hurry with their heads lowered.

Seems like normal.

But in fact, in this small stone pass, there are layers of waves.

basement.

These five thin, hooded men are reporting.

The man sitting in the chair nodded with a lazy tone: "So, you don't know what Baron Kant and Baron Dylan were talking about?"

"Sorry, my lord, there is nothing we can do."

Among the five thin men, the one in the lead was ashamed.

"No, there's no need to apologize." But the leader sitting in the chair shook his head slightly: "The five of you have done a good job. After all, Baron Dylan, a country bumpkin, takes his mansion very seriously and wants to put in a few spies. Totally impossible."

The candles on the table flickered, and light appeared in the room.

Silence in the basement.

The spy chief pondered for a moment on the chair, but still made up his mind: "You guys are waiting for me here."

"Yes." The spies responded.

He stood up on the chair with both hands, took the crutches beside him, and walked limpingly towards a wooden door next to him, obviously he was a cripple with mutilated limbs.

But these five spies did not dare to show contempt, and still waited respectfully.

The spy chief slowly pushed open the wooden door.

Inside is another basement.

There are cabinets, tables and chairs, and several other wooden doors, like an underground labyrinth.

The spy chief was already familiar with the route.

He took out a box the size of a human head in the dark compartment of the cupboard. After opening it, there was a huge crystal ball, flashing with a slight blue light. With his several movements, layers of halos gradually appeared.

There was a muffled voice in the room.

Appears to be conversing inside the crystal ball.

After a while, the halo disappeared, and the room returned to silence.

The spy leader put the box back together, returned to the room where he was before, limped to the chair and sat down, and said lightly: "Let Miss Jacqueline act with you, in the barren desert, young A hero will lend a hand to a beautiful lady who is being bullied."

"Yes, my lord." The five spies nodded.

"Let's do it." The spy chief waved, signaling the spies to leave.

In the empty room, the corners of his mouth were also somewhat mocking.

For these young nobles who have just gained their own rights, they are very willing to show their strength and pride like the classic passages in the novel. The tune of heroes saving the beauty is simple and effective.

………………

But in the slums of Stone Pass.

Dirty sewage ran freely on the streets, and the pungent stench also appeared in the shacks on both sides.

Pedestrians passing by were ragged.

These are the bankrupt poor living here, with indifferent and lifeless eyes.

Even if they are alive, they are just lingering.

However, just inside the slum, in a slightly larger house made of wood, more than 40 thin men were gathering, each of them respectfully looking at the four burly men sitting on the chairs in front of them.

If Kant and the others were here, they would recognize these four burly men.

Because at dinner last night and breakfast this morning, Kant met them in the Lord's Hall.

Although they didn't communicate, they were vaguely recognizable by their faces.

these 4 guys,

It is the vassal knight to which Baron Dylan belongs!

It was also in the lord's hall that the four knights who looked at the Sarand rider with greedy eyes left a deep impression on Kant, who was actually secretly alert, and it was absolutely impossible to forget it in a short time.

Kant was guessing at the time that he might be in trouble.

And now, his guess was indeed correct.

"With this vote, we can get out of this damn Stone Pass."

The headed vassal knight said with a gloomy expression: "I know that Viscount Wayne, who is in charge of North County, is very dissatisfied with the Baron Dylan. If we go to the past, we may have a chance to obtain our own knighthood."

Another person also said: "Yes, Viscount Wayne will definitely canonize the village near the Stone Pass to us as a knightly fief, unlike the damn Dylan, who has not mentioned the canonization of knighthood for 5 years. !"

Speaking of this incident, the four of them were all sullen.

After arriving at the Stone Pass for about 5 years, although he was recruited as a subordinate knight, he did not actually confer a fief.

No fief means no real recognition, completely relying on Baron Dylan's subordinates and obeying his various dispatches, just like a wandering knight hired for money.

A knight with a knight's collar and a knight without a fief are very different in status!

The former is the real aristocratic reserve.

The latter are nothing more than powerful mercenaries.

So the four of them have long been dissatisfied with Baron Dylan, and they are unwilling to continue to stay in this barren stone pass. They want to go directly to Viscount Wayne to get lucky and become a real knight through the reason of the discord between the two. Get your own knighthood and own your own fief village.

"Now that there are so many of us, let's do it!"

Finally, the four vassal knights made up their minds and looked at the 40 thin men in front of them. Although they were all starving, as long as they were armed, their momentum was not bad.

They do what they say, they are not good people.

Before becoming vassal knights, they slaughtered on the battlefield and even robbed caravans for money.

Even when he came to Stone Pass, he would occasionally go back to his old business.

Sometimes gangs of robbers that appear mysteriously in various places, loot and disappear mysteriously, are also related to these vassal knights who are short of money. Even if the lord knows, they will turn a blind eye.

It's not a caravan that plundered its own territory, and doing so much will only leave a stingy reputation.

This is also the main reason for the underdevelopment of domestic business in the male lion duke.

Even on the Reisniston River, river bandits in disguise can occasionally be found. If Lionheart City had not established a river patrol team, it is estimated that the economic lifeline of this lion principality would have been hit.

Bandits are really serious in the Principality of Lions.

Of course, Kant didn't know that his whereabouts had been followed by people with ulterior motives.

He's still taking people shopping at the market at Stone Pass.

For example, logging axes and agricultural tools are all in short supply in the Sentinel Oasis. Take the lead to buy 50 tools and bring them back. Whether it is logging, farming, or collecting coarse salt, they are of great use.

It's just a mountain path on both sides of the stone pass, and two teams of people from different affiliations are heading to the desert without leaving a trace.

They have to prepare in advance.
