After the beast tide that threatened the Marquisate passed, everyone quickly returned to their peaceful lives.
Although most people didn't know why the beast tide didn't invade Moti City that day, since no one suffered any losses, there was no need to pay attention to that kind of thing.
However, a few days later, a heavy news that had been delayed for nearly a month suddenly reached everyone's ears.
——The Marquis and his wife and their second son died in a plane crash, and the ownership of the Marquisate will be re-determined in the near future.
Although everyone has known this news for a long time, the key is that this time it is an official announcement issued by the Empire to the country.
The Empire officially recognized the death of Marquis Moti, and also officially notified all parties at home and abroad that this important border province is about to undergo a power change.
When the Spiritual Vision News and the Imperial Daily simultaneously reported this announcement in great detail, everyone realized that this place, which had just been peaceful for ten years, seemed to be really about to change.
——But some people were already prepared.
...
"This is the so-called imperial edict... Why is it sealed in this kind of envelope and sent by someone? Can't it be more serious!"
About 25 days after he traveled here, Aarons finally received the imperial edict written by the emperor himself.
The content of the edict was nothing special - the emperor just said that he heard that the marquis had died and was worried about the turmoil and decline of the border territory, so he decided to summon Aarons, the only heir of the marquis's family, to re-determine the ownership of the marquisate.
Aarons Of course, there was no information delay at all. The people in Moti City all knew the news within two days after the marquis' death. The people in the imperial capital were not all deaf and blind. How could they have just heard about it now?
Presumably, the emperor or other high-level forces have already planned the use of this territory. Now they just want to go through the motions and let him give up this territory that he can't control at all.
"Hahaha, young master, you may not know that this envelope not only has the exclusive seal of the royal family, but also has exquisite dark magic protection. Without the recipient's own family emblem, it is definitely impossible to open it."
"Don't use honorifics. Weren't you very happy when you scolded me before?"
"Don't, don't hold a grudge, young master... I was just anxious at the moment!"
Although Aarons didn't know what Kuran was thinking, the fact that he faced the beast tide as a mercenary and fought to the death also showed that he was actually a man of temperament.
If it were an ordinary mercenary who was paid to do things, he might have run away halfway through the fight.
"Why should I hold a grudge? All the money I earned was paid out as wages. Now I have been busy for a long time and not only did I not save a penny. When I go out, everyone will scold me. It's useless for me to hold a grudge against you!"
Although Aarons did not regret his decision, he must have felt a little pain. Almost all of the more than 100 gold coins I had obtained were paid to the volunteers who participated in the war at that time, and my popularity... is about the same as before.
"Although it is not appropriate for me to say this, you really inherited a mess, young master."
"You know everything, why don't you find a job elsewhere? I don't have any money at all!"
"Don't, young master, I think you have a promising future, so I stayed here for a few more days. If you don't give me this face, then I can only take my family to Cardia to find business."
... This guy is actually beating around the bush to criticize me! Can handsome people do whatever they want!
"Isn't it enough for me to thank you? Don't make trouble for this broken place. In two days, I will let the emperor take away my title, and the people in this place will be in trouble."
"Don't worry, young master. I am not the kind of person without conscience. Even if I have to go to Cadia, I will definitely help you pay attention to the movements over there."
Aarons rolled his eyes and didn't take this seriously. However, Kuran took out an exquisitely crafted badge from his pocket and handed it to him very respectfully.
"This is a special token made by my group. Insert it into the Linghu that can make dedicated calls, and you can use the internal line to contact my group. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can use it to contact us."
"I hope I don't need it."
Since the other party took the initiative to show goodwill, Aarons certainly didn't mind giving him face.
Anyway, he was about to go to the empire to meet the emperor, and he didn't know where he would be exiled to, and basically there was no chance to cooperate with Kuran again.
"Then I'll take my leave. See you again someday, young master."
"Then get out of here. I get angry when I see a man more handsome than me."
No matter what these two people think,Aarons still thinks that Kuran is a bit annoying.
…
"We have to leave the day after tomorrow. Have you basically dealt with the family affairs?"
"It shouldn't be a big deal for the children here. Even if you are really deprived of your territory, this house is still your property."
"The worst is the same as it is now... That's fine."
After dinner in the evening, Aarons discussed the future with Xia Ye. He deduced several possible results and found that there was no difference.
He still has no money and no one to rely on. Unless there is a miracle one day, there is no way to get this territory back.
However, when humans were expanding their power on the continent five hundred years ago, they had already dug up all the treasures and secret realms... In that period when various forces were entangled and fighting, countless heroes relied on those opportunities to create a piece of heaven and earth.
So now, Aarons really can't find any chance to turn over.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time... Anyway, I've experienced everything I should have experienced."
Aarons has tried to make money with only a few conditions, and also experienced the feeling of fighting monsters in this world. Although nothing was left in the end, at least he had experience.
After all, this is just a tutorial for beginners - the rewards are just some trial products.
"Master, the following things are arranged."
After seeing Karin also walk into the room, Aarons finally relaxed a little.
The beauty of the wolf tribe seemed to have completed some kind of transformation in that battle. The heroic and charming posture of black hair, golden eyes and brown skin was as if the jackal god in the desert had descended to the world, majestic and solemn but also arousing desire.
——Beautiful black-skinned wolf sister! Good!
"Miss Karin is here, I will explain to you the changes that have taken place in her."
Looking at Aarons who seemed to have suddenly started to have wild thoughts, Xia Ye stretched out his hand to push his glasses and spoke in time to interrupt his delusion.
"In the legend of our demon world, the aliens were originally descendants of the blood of gods, but later the blood was diluted and they became ordinary people with only appearance characteristics."
"There are gods in the other world... I don't think there are any here?"
"Although they are gods, they are probably just powerful monsters that can transform into human form. But the blood is indeed extremely powerful. Legend has it that the original aliens did have supreme power, and even the demons like us had to retreat."
Looking at Karin's golden eyes and half-smile, Aarons pinched his chin with his fingers and gave his answer.
"So what you mean is that Karin has returned to her ancestors?"
"That's probably the case, but look here..."
After Xia Ye stretched out his hand to lift the hair on one side of Karin's cheek, Aarons was surprised to find that there was an ear similar to a human out of thin air.
"Maybe the first aliens looked like this."
"Well, I don't care... but I feel that Karin's temperament has changed a lot."
Whether Karin is still an alien now or not, no one can tell.
But she herself doesn't seem to care about these little things. She just casually brushes her messy warm black hair with her hand - and she uses her left hand that has grown back.
"I just finally learned how to be honest with myself, Master."
The previous timid and worried attitude has disappeared without a trace. The wolf beauty who always has a charming smile on her face is like a beast that may attack at any time.
If you are confused by her now, I'm afraid your throat will really be bitten off.
"Also, when you were fighting that day, the spiritual energy in the entire city suddenly stopped for half an hour. Later I found out that it was because Miss Karin absorbed too much spiritual energy during the battle."
Karin seemed to have killed a level 4 or 5 monster with one strike at that time - Aarons thought she had become a human-shaped reactor, but he didn't expect that she still needed to be recharged.
"It is still difficult to kill the enemy casually, but as long as there is a place with sufficient magic source stones or spiritual energy, Miss Karin should be able to exert a strength of more than level 5."
"It should be difficult for the young master to understand what you said, so I'll explain it myself... Now even if I don't use spiritual power, I can easily crush a guy like Kulan."
-Good! Although not that strong, it's still a hang!
Aarons happily started to applaud directly - after all, Karin has become so strong, he can also benefit a lot.
"Oh, now that we're done, you should go back and rest."
PostAarons, who felt that there was nothing important to say, stood up and stretched, then waved to the two beauties casually, indicating that they could leave.
But just as he took two steps towards the door, Xia Ye suddenly stepped in front of him.
"Master, you seem to have forgotten something important."
"Important? No?"
"Do you remember what I said at the time - I said I would make you regret your rash decision."
Aarons, who realized that he seemed to be in trouble, was about to do something, but his arms and body were suddenly hugged from behind and then tightly fixed together.
- It was Karin, they were in the same group!
"You seemed to have talked about some experience just now, but I think you should have one thing you haven't experienced yet."
The warm breath blew slowly past his ears, and there was a moist and tingling feeling on his earlobes as if he was being bitten and licked... This sudden attack that made people numb all over made Aarons lose the power to resist in an instant.
"I now understand a simple truth - if you want to keep you at home and not go out to seek death, the best way is to make you have no physical strength to go out and mess around."
Aarons watched Xia Ye take off the glasses that pretended to be intellectual, and then reached out to grab his collar. Under the double clamp of the devil's powerful charm and the warm feeling behind him, he finally lost the last bit of resistance.
"So, it's time for you to pay the price."
"Tonight will not end soon, please rest assured to leave it to us, young master."
At this point - it seems that he really has nowhere to escape.
"Ah wow wow wow - Els, save me!"
Of course, this sound did not come out of the room at all, and it was soon blocked by something unspeakable.
...
After leaving Moti City, the Kulan Mercenary Group immediately set off for the Principality of Collins.
The Marquisate is about to undergo a huge change, so they must also be prepared. In order to get a share of the future chaos.
"Captain, are you still awake?"
"Li Yue, sit down wherever you want. I'm still thinking about the future."
In the camp under the night, Kulan was staring at the campfire in a trance, and the beautiful fox girl walked out of the truck and sat down next to him elegantly.
"What are your plans?"
"Of course, we have a very strong partner this time."
The fox girl Li Yue knew who Kulan was talking about, but she didn't quite understand why her captain was so fond of that person.
Although that person did play a key role in the previous battle, it didn't mean that he was worth betting on.
"I don't understand, what's so special about that young master? If it's just talent, there are many people in the world who are more talented than him, right?"
"Are you talking about the ability he showed? That's not what I'm looking at."
The so-called general talent is not something hard to find. Although most of them can't fight in the battlefield, their ability to plan and strategize in the rear is not necessarily bad.
——Although he may not win the battle in the line, anyone can act as a commander in the fountain.
"The special thing about that person is not his talent as a general or his arrogance as a noble, but his courage to lead everyone forward even though he knows he is a weak person."
Thinking of the lights that never went out that night, a trace of awe quietly emerged in Kulan's eyes.
"It's a pity that now is not the desperate situation of the war between humans and demons, nor is it the chaotic world of human struggle... In this peaceful era, that person can only be said to be born at the wrong time."
"What... does this mean?"
Looking at the fox girl next to him who was still a little confused, Kulan first looked up at the two moons in the sky, one large and one small, and then sighed deeply as if he was mocking himself.
"That is the hero qualification that is worthless now - and the king's magnanimity."
