Noble Emblem

It’s no wonder that Therese is proud. The strongest spearman in the human world, the Lancer is the head of their Zell family.

The head of the Zell family is not only powerful, but also a good expert in internal affairs. In the case of military conflicts with the Uribuda Kingdom from time to time, Glinton Zell can not only lead his troops to repel the enemy troops next time, but even has some leisure time. To develop internal affairs, it only took more than two hundred years to develop the Tonggu City into a large city, and also built a huge rock pass at the pass, making it impossible for Uribuda to attack Huolaiwen for more than a hundred years. country.

In addition, as he grows older, the advantages of half-elves gradually become apparent, Glinton becomes stronger and stronger, and his lifespan becomes longer and longer. After he became a master lancer, not many people dared to be disrespectful in front of him.

A master who is about to become a legend... is the confidence of the Zell family.

This kind of confidence made the Zell family extremely proud. Not only was Alice raised to be a "tsundere", but other members of the family also looked at people with their nostrils turned upward.

Others may be wary of the Zell family's prestige, but players will not. They dare to kill even demigods, let alone anyone who is not legendary. And in the game, Liang Lidong himself is also a legendary level, and he can become a demigod in a short time. In addition, Glinton is still his subordinate in the game, and Glinton himself also has the memory of the game, so Liang Lidong The Zell family is less and less regarded as a famous family.

"I have something urgent to do to see Glinton Zell. Please take me in." Liang Lidong didn't want to get into trouble. He had tried his best to make his tone as calm and gentle as possible.

But the other party didn't think so. Therese sneered and said: "Our family's honorific is something that young people like you can call casually? And it's also something you can see casually? At least I have to send you a greeting card first. Look at you I'm still young and not very sensible, so please get out of here now. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Liang Lidong sighed and took two steps back.

Therese thought that the other party had given up and gave up, and just when she was about to smile triumphantly, the dense fog in the sky, centered on the red-robed spellcaster in front of her, poured out crazily in less than two seconds. It filled everything she could see.

She was immediately frightened and turned pale. Although she was already a level 7 spell caster, Trace had never experienced a real battle. Her levels were obtained by relying on the resources of her family. In other words, In other words, she is a theoretical mage.

Being surrounded by thick fog and unable to see around, most men would be nervous, let alone a woman who was just relying on her family's prestige.

In fact, theoretical mages are very strong. They have the strongest magic lethality and possess the largest average number of magic skills. As long as someone protects them, they can become powerful long-range forts.

They're just not very good at fighting head-on.

Therese gave herself a universal magic shield and shouted to everyone around her: "Who are you? What kind of magic is this?"

If it were a mage who had been trained through combat, the first reaction at this time would be to use dispersion, which of course would be of no use. Driving in the fog is

This shows that Therese has been frightened enough.

"Stay where you are and don't move, otherwise don't blame me for taking action."

To Trace's ears. The sound came from all directions at the same time, and she had no way of telling which direction the enemy was.

How about using wind magic to blow away the fog... Trace also knows a few wind magics. Just when she was about to do this, she felt a chill on her back, and she was pointed at by a cold sharp weapon.

"You don't dare to kill me." Although Therese was very scared, she felt that she needed to safeguard the honor of the family and must not show cowardice in front of the enemy: "If you kill me, our Zell family will hunt you down. As far as the horizon.”

"I don't want to kill you. I just don't want you to move around. Because Glinton will be down soon."

Therese's proud face showed a bit of disbelief, and then she snorted coldly: "The master of the house will come down soon, and you are dead."

Liang Lidong ignored her and waited quietly.

The thick fog has been covering a circular area with a radius of 385 meters, and has enveloped the entire castle of the Zell family.

When thick fog appears. Glinton was discussing matters with a nobleman, and then thick fog entered his study through the window, flooding the entire study in less than three seconds.

The person who was discussing the matter with Glinton was an ordinary nobleman. He was covered by the thick fog and could hardly see anything. He screamed in panic. Glinton comforted the man and then stood at the window and looked down.

Because he was at a very high level and was about to become a legend, the thick fog had little impact on him. He immediately saw Liang Lidong standing at the entrance of the suspension bridge.

Because Liang Lidong had Yunlong blue eyes and had fog-driving skills to help him conduct reconnaissance, he knew in which direction Glinton was. As soon as the two people's eyes came into contact, Glinton jumped directly from the window on the third floor.

By the time Liang Lidong removed his fog-driving magic, Glinton had already reached the suspension bridge.

There was no obstructive fog, and Therese could see now. She was very happy to see Glinton: "Great-uncle, this man is here to cause trouble for our family."

Liang Lidong took back his weapon.

Glinton sighed, walked up to Therese and said: "I have told you before, always be humble and don't act too arrogant. There are many people in this world who don't look at our Zell faces and act. Now you have met one. Fortunately, he is my friend, otherwise you would have really hit the wall this time."

Therese's expression became ugly. After bowing to Glinton, she left with a dark face.

After the man left, Liang Lidong smiled and said, "It seems that although you are the clan leader, your words are not very effective."

"After all, I am an illegitimate child." Glinton smiled nonchalantly: "But you, even if you were blocked from looking for me, you wouldn't have to fight so hard. What happened? In my memory, you have always been You are very calm, even if it is a holy war, you sons of gold won’t care too much.”

"There is just a possibility of jihad."

Glinton was stunned for a moment, his handsome face glazed over for a moment, and then he frowned and said, "Jihad? Are you sure?"

"I'm not 100% sure, but the probability is very high." Liang Lidong said slowly: "Last night at the Harvest Festival, I saw four oracle light pillars coming into the world almost at the same time. You can't see it, but it doesn't mean that we, the players, …The Son of Gold is invisible.”

Glinton was silent for a while: "Which gods are they?"

"Light, life, storm, and thunder god." Liang Lidong clicked his tongue: "Judging from the color of the light beam that dropped the oracle, it seems that these four gods have not escaped. I have notified Dongfeng City. Come now. Let me inform you. As a border city, Tonggu City is in greater danger during the Holy War, so you'd better prepare in advance. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected."

"Shit." The half-elf spat out vulgar words that did not match his handsome face: "It has finally been peaceful for more than three hundred years. What kind of holy war do these gods want to engage in? Are they too busy to panic?"

Jihad represents many things and is generally only found between two religions. But if three or four religions engage in jihad at the same time, it will definitely evolve into a war that affects the whole world. No one will be able to survive alone.

"Perhaps they are too busy." Liang Lidong remounted his horse, and then he said condescendingly to the half-elf: "I have passed the news to you now. Whether you believe it or not is another matter."

Glinton was a little puzzled: "Why do you just come here by yourself and let the messenger deliver the message?"

"I'm wearing a magic robe, and I've been challenged even if I want to see you. If other people are allowed to come, it would be weird if they don't get kicked away." Liang Lidong said with a bit of sarcasm: "Besides, it may happen to others. Jihad, do you believe it? So I came here myself."

Glinton had to admit it. The master in his dream made sense. He nodded slightly: "No matter what. Thanks. Also, thank you very much for Alice."

"You're welcome, I'm just using you. As long as your Tonggu City is still there, our Reed Village will feel much more at ease. After all, there are only two roads to reach our Reed Village, one is your Tonggu City. The other is Dongfeng City. As long as your two border cities are fine, our Reed Village will be fine."

The half-elf also smiled: "You do know how to take advantage."

"Okay, I'm leaving first, there are still many things to deal with."

Glinton stood on the suspension bridge and watched Liang Lidong leave. He slowly walked back to the study thoughtfully. The nobleman with whom he was discussing matters was still there.

See the owner coming back. The noble wiped cold sweat and asked: "Your Excellency, what happened just now? Is someone trying to attack your Zell family? Who dares to be so bold!"

Glinton sat down on his black chair. He looked at the other party and said, "Sir Philip, I agree with your offer just now, but I have a new request now. I need you to supply us with a large amount of wheat. The more, the merrier. I’ll pay 10% higher than the market price for it, what do you think?”

"Haha, deal."

As a border soldier and an old 'soldier' ​​who fought with Liang Lidong in his dreams, Glinton knew very well that once war breaks out, the most important thing is food. As long as there is surplus food, it's easy to do it anytime. If there is no surplus food, no matter how well-equipped your force's equipment is or how well-trained the soldiers are, it will be of no use.

Liang Lidong naturally knew this. After telling the news to the actual leaders of the two cities, he immediately returned to the village and asked Kyle to gather all his students.

Standing on the chanting platform in the prayer hall, Liang Lidong looked at the dozens of students sitting below, and looked at their innocent and admiring eyes. He sighed in his heart, if If a jihad really breaks out, the duration of the war will be ten years. I don't know how many of these children will survive.

"Yake, take a group of people to the city to buy grain. Buy two to three hundred kilograms every day. Try not to alarm the grain merchants until the price of grain rises to six times higher than it is now."

"Kyle, you are responsible for training those who are willing to become professionals. If there are adults who are willing to train with you, then train with them."

"Harlin, you choose a few people to dig a hole in the mountain behind the temple. The bigger the better, the grain bought by Yake will be piled in that place. Do you understand?"

"If you understand, take action now and don't waste time."

Although the children don't know what's going on, they know how to read people's faces. The teacher's expression was very bad, which meant that something big was very likely to happen recently, so they worked very seriously, and no one was lazy or had any complaints.

At night, an unexpected guest came to the temple, the old village chief.

Since the authority of the village chief was given to Liang Lidong, the old village chief Reed rarely went out of the yard. He usually stayed in the yard and basked in the sun leisurely.

When he came over, he obviously had a lot of questions that he wanted to clarify.

"Your Excellency Beta, you suddenly want to build a city wall. Just now Kyle said that you asked Yake and the others to go to the city to buy food. This gives me a bad feeling." The old man's voice was already very old, so old that he He spoke very softly and weakly: "I usually have a lot of clever ideas, but I am not really a smart person, but I also know that if someone is hoarding food for no reason, then a large-scale war will probably break out."

Liang Lidong was silent and did not speak.

The old village chief continued: "I am just an ordinary old man. If there is a war, I have no way to protect the village. Although Kyle is capable, he is still young and does not understand many things. Your Excellency, you are now the acting village chief. , I know this is unfair to you, but I still hope that you can become the official village chief and protect us and the village when war comes."

Liang Lidong looked at the other party: "This request is rogue."

"I know!" The old village chief nodded: "But if my guess unfortunately comes true, as long as you are willing to stay in our village, don't say you are a rogue, even if you ask me to kneel down, I am willing."

Liang Lidong was a little curious: "How can you be so sure that the war is coming, and not that I am worrying unfoundedly?"

"It's very simple." The old village chief said slowly: "You are the most knowledgeable person I have ever met, and you are also the best person I have ever met, and the person who can best control his emotions. But even like this, you are still restless. , I think except for the terrible war, nothing can make you anxious like this."

"As the village chief, I hope you can stay and help us. But from a personal point of view, I hope you can leave with Kyle."

After leaving such words, the old village chief left with his hands behind his back, his face flushed.

Liang Lidong didn't speak for a long time. He knew that the old man was about to die. This was a reflection. As a professional, he could smell the coming of death. He once heard a saying that the closer a person is to death, the clearer and wiser he becomes.

Today's old village chief is very wise.

Early the next morning, Kyle's painful cries spread throughout the village, and the old village leader Reed passed away in his bed, with no pain on his face and very peacefully. (To be continued...)
