Lord of War

Elsie really thought about becoming a knight of the church seriously, and of course she was thinking about how to sell her territory or sublease it. Of course, the most ideal trading partner is actually Sean, but because of the conflict between the Kingdom of Darbion and the Principality of Ryan, it is impossible for Elsie to sell this territory to Sean. Regardless of the attitude of the Bion Kingdom, the Boulder family will be the first to not let Elsie go.

As long as Elsie is accused of treason, the entire Boulder family will immediately follow suit. For the Boulder family, who are good at political investment, it is naturally impossible to allow such a thing to happen, so it is doomed that Elsie's territory cannot be sold to Sean.

However, Sean is actually not very interested in such a barren territory. It's just that the Mordegg Territory does have certain strategic value. If it is used as a forward base, then you can attack the other five surrounding territories, and you can return to the Black Reef Grassland if you retreat. The space for strategic activities is extremely large. Large, and because the Modeg collar is relatively small, and the terrain is not suitable for cavalry combat, the difficulty of defense is not high.

Of course, all this is viewed from a strategic perspective.

But Sean estimated that apart from Asuna, probably no one would be interested in this territory.

After breakfast, Sean also stayed in Elsie's manor. But now that the purchase of black steel stones has been settled, Sean doesn't plan to stay in Modeg for too long. He is going to experience the life of a farmhouse in Elsie's manor for a few days, and then transfer to Entering the Territory of Sesus in the northeast, he remembered that there was a cave in this territory, which was a gathering place for cultists. Sean vaguely remembered that it was a fourth-order copy.

I just don't know if this dungeon has been opened now.

Of course, the dungeon itself doesn't actually produce anything good. However, what Xiao En wants is not equipment, but experience points. Of course, there are things that can be used as sacrifices. In any case, he must get another demon or other powerful creatures of the same type as a curse mark Power, and there happens to be a sacrificial platform under the Black Swan Castle, if you don't make good use of it, then you will be a little sorry for Sean's character.

In this way, Sean was thinking about where to get a suitable sacrifice while planning the next itinerary.

Life in a farmhouse is somewhat novel to Sean, who has never experienced it before. But no matter how novel it was, it was impossible for him to stay here forever, so on the fourth day of living in the manor, Sean chose to bid farewell to Elsie.

Cassius has not returned yet, but Sean and Elsie have already guessed this point. After all, this trip will go to the Millennium Covenant Empire, and it will take about half a year at the earliest to come back. And Elsie is obviously very clear,

It is impossible for Sean to live in his manor forever, so he didn't feel much reluctance when they parted. After all, no matter how much they hit each other while chatting, the two big men couldn't feel much reluctance.

What's more, Sean and Elsie were actually destined to be in two camps from the very beginning-at least in the current situation, they were indeed so.

"If you need my help with anything, ask someone to come to Black Swan Castle to find me." Sean said, "As long as you say it was sent by Elsie, I will know."

"Understood." Elsie nodded, "The black steel stones you want, I will arrange the people from the stone factory to deliver them to you as soon as possible."

"Then I'm going."

"Take care of yourself."

"You are yourself." Xiao En laughed loudly, "It's really the only time in my life that a lord treats you like this."

Elsie didn't refute this point, but just smiled.

No one knows whether the friendship between the two lords of different camps can be maintained as before. But at least at this moment, both Sean and Elsie are one of the few friends who truly regard each other as their own.

Sometimes friendships come so suddenly.

Perhaps it was because of his kindness and kindness that Sean didn't refute the Lord Elsie's invitation. Because when he saw Elsie, Sean would think of Cecilia, maybe because of this reason, Sean didn't have any airs when facing Elsie, at least he wouldn't be so domineering - in this world In fact, there are only four people who can make Xiao En treat him equally and even sincerely protect him.

Now even with Elsie Boulder, it's just enough to fill one hand.

Even for Asuna, the Marquis, Sean only regards her as an ally, and the relationship between the two of them is only for mutual benefit.

So this parting, although it seems normal, is very different for Sean and Elsie.

has a completely different meaning. It's just that these two people are not the kind of people who will talk about all this, so it seems that one walks gracefully, and the other smiles clearly. As for whether there will be more intersections in the future, or this kind of Whether the intersection is good or bad is not something they can easily decide.

...

The sky began to drizzle.

This is the first rain Sean has seen since coming to the southern region.

The world of Miracle Continent is slightly different from the environment of Earth.

In this world, the climate in the northern part of the continent is relatively mild and pleasant, and the land is mostly fertile; while in the south, the temperature difference in the climate is extremely variable, and it is usually hotter in summer, and with the arrival of the rainy season in late summer, The temperature will start to get colder gradually, and it will not start to rise until the cold winter has passed. This is actually very uncomfortable for Cecilia, who is used to the mild climate in the north that is almost like spring all year round. accustomed.

It's just that in order not to cause any trouble to Sean, Cecilia never said this. After all, no matter how difficult the environment is, she has survived it, and now it is just a change of climate and environment, what's the big deal, she just got used to it.

And when the first rains begin to fall in the southern regions, it means that the late summer rainy season has begun.

After leaving the Mordegg Territory, Sean headed northeast all the way, and finally officially entered the Sesus Territory after three days of walking. This territory is naturally many times larger than the Mordege territory, because this is a standard earldom, and the lord, Earl Sethus, is an old earl who is over half a century old. Although the government orders in the territory are not benevolent, But at least the citizens can also ensure that they don't have to go hungry. From this point of view, it is quite kind.

Because in many territories, under the tyrannical rule of the lord, the lives of the subjects are actually very difficult.

After entering the Territory of Sesus, Sean didn't stop much, but rushed all the way to a small town called Cyan Hummingbird in the territory, and finally found a hotel in time for the first rain.

There are not many guests in this hotel, only six or seven people. Perhaps because of the rain, the passengers had nowhere to go for a while, so they all gathered in the hall, enjoying their lunch while admiring the rainy scenery outside the window—of course, this scenery was not It's nothing to look at, but at least it's better than nothing in this situation.

So when Sean pushed open the door of the hotel and walked in, he still received a certain degree of attention. However, Xiao En is not a beautiful woman after all, so most of the passengers just cast their gazes at other places after a quick glance, refusing to pay any more attention. Perhaps the few seconds of staring just now were already a rare sight. .

"Boss, is there anything new in the town recently?" Sean sat at the bar in the lobby of the hotel, not only opened a room, but also ordered a piece of food, perhaps because some of them didn't eat very well in Modeg It was refreshing, and there was nothing good to eat along the way, so the lunch Sean asked for was extremely rich.

Probably because of Xiao En's boldness, so after hearing Xiao En's words, the boss thought about it seriously, and then said: "What's new... a group of mercenaries came here a few days ago I passed through the small town, but a few people have disappeared inexplicably these days, and now this group of mercenaries are busy looking for companions everywhere, is this a new thing?"

Hearing what the boss said, Sean grinned and said, "Forget it....It seems that this is really a strange thing."

"Isn't it?" The hotel owner's chatterbox was opened, and there seemed to be a gossip burning in his body, "In my opinion, those mercenaries probably couldn't stand the captain, so they ran away in private. But The regiment leader has always insisted that his regiment members must have been attacked by inexplicable maliciousness. It is said that there are signs of fighting in their camp, but who can believe these things, maybe they forged it themselves... mercenaries , nothing can be done."

The passengers in the hotel seemed to know all about the incident that this group of mercenaries had recently caused in the small town. For a while, the whole hotel used this incident as a topic to communicate with each other. Whether these people knew each other or not, they all knew They chatted without saying a word, and even added a lot of their own imaginations. In this way, everyone will not look particularly boring, at least one thing can be discussed to pass the time.

Places like hotels and taverns are actually the best places to gather information. Of course, this information is naturally mixed with a lot of water. If ordinary people want to get useful information from it, they naturally need to squeeze out the water well.

But Sean didn't need to come here to find out any information. He only needed to know one thing, and that was that a companion of a mercenary group had disappeared.

And this happens to be the signal for the opening of the copy of the cultist assembly.
