Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Your Majesty the Earl." A farmer working in the fields greeted his lord humbly and respectfully. Most of them had not had time to see the Earl's appearance clearly. They only knew that he could be surrounded by so many knights and could ride on it.  Carrying that divine dragon-scaled horse, and being able to wear a gorgeous coat with a collar higher than the back of the head and covering the ears, there must be only the noble Earl here, and the guys in front are not saluting.

    ? Earl Pephos held the dragon-scaled horse between his legs and held the whip in his hand. He seemed to have never heard the greetings from the farmers. This is the treatment that a noble should receive, so there is no need to be surprised.

    When he left the manor and turned onto the road, Earl Pephos whipped his horse sharply, causing it to run faster, passing carriages and pedestrians along the way.

    ?? Earl Pefos despises those nobles who ride in carriages. How can nobles who were knighted by killing magicians and various heretics give up their pride and the instinct of knights? Vanity is also the original sin!

    The Pephos family was the first knight family to follow the church and the king in resisting the Magic Empire. Their ability to obtain the title of earl was due to the tyrannical strength and immortal achievements of generations of people, including Earl Pephos himself.  Before he was ten years old, he had already been promoted to a Heavenly Knight and received the title of "Guardian Dragon". His hands were stained with the blood of evil magicians and various heretics.

    Dozens of dragon-scaled horses galloped all the way into the city. The knight attendants guarding the gate gave way when they saw the sign of the Pephos family from a distance, and did not dare to intercept or check at all.

    Roar!

    ?? Earl Pephos pulled the reins, and the dragon-scaled horseman stood up, roaring like a dragon.

    The knights following behind made similar movements, causing the horses to stop almost at the same instant.

    "Good evening, Lord Earl." Two people dressed as nobles were already standing at the door of the villa.

    They wear the currently popular two-layer jacket inside, with numerous buttons all made of gemstones, and high-collar coats on the outside with numerous accessories.

    ? Earl Pephos turned over and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

    "These are the two barons in his earldom. Today they helped him convene a private gathering of the nobles who were close to him.

    "It's our honor." The two barons replied respectfully and led him towards the villa.

    ?? Earl Pephos was unsmiling, but he was very satisfied with the attitude of the two barons, which made him feel the glory and power of the superiors and high nobles.

    There are several long tables in the hall of the villa, where steaks, roast chickens, and fat food are placed. There are already many nobles holding wine glasses and gathering in groups to talk.

    "Good evening, Lord Earl." All the nobles greeted Earl Pephos immediately.

    ? Earl Pephos raised his right hand and waved: "Good evening, everyone."

    He enjoys such occasions. Power and place are always fascinating at this time.

    After handing the riding whip to the accompanying knight, Earl Pephos prepared to host the party, but at this moment, the doorkeeper introduced a clergyman wearing a holy white robe.

    "Dear Earl, the Bishop invites you to go to the church." Although this young cleric spoke very politely, the skin on his face was tight and there was no trace of a smile, giving people an unusually arrogant feeling. But the nobles present  No one thinks anything is wrong. This is the Lord's shepherd. Even if they are dissatisfied with his attitude, they cannot show it at all, otherwise the night watchman of the Inquisition will come to their door.

    "Is there anything tense?" Earl Pephos asked reservedly.

    The cleric¡¯s eyes seemed to be looking at the ceiling: ¡°I don¡¯t know, Count, you¡¯ll find out when you get to the church.¡±

    This attitude made Earl Pephos secretly angry. Did the church clergy not even have the most basic courtesy?

    But he controlled his emotions and said expressionlessly: "Okay."

    "By the way, Earl, it's already past six o'clock in the evening. No one can ride a horse except the knights on duty." The cleric added stiffly.

    ?? Earl Pephos clenched his fists secretly, feeling a surge of anger rushing to his forehead. As an earl, as the lord of this city, he didn't even have this privilege?

    After the cleric finished explaining, he drew a cross on his chest: "I hope you, Earl, will rush to the church as soon as possible. Only the truth will last forever!"

    "Only the truth lasts forever" Earl Pephos made the sign of the cross with his eyes darkly, deciding to be patient. What if he couldn't bear it?  Against the church?  What can I do against a godlike god, nearly fifty legendary cardinals and holy knights, and a Seraph that can come at any time?  This is a situation more terrifying than the past three magic empires.force!

    " Moreover, as the remaining forces of the Magic Empire are gradually eliminated, the church relies less and less on itself and other nobles, and its attitude becomes worse and worse.

    The carriage drove slowly to the city church. At this time, the sky was dark, dark clouds were gathering, and heavy rain seemed to be falling soon.

    Boom!

    Thunder exploded, and the silver-white electric snake illuminated the sky. Earl Pephos looked up at the sky, stepped out of the carriage, and entered the church.

    "Good evening, Lord Bishop, please allow me to pray to the Lord first." Earl Pephos said politely, he had completely eliminated the dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart.

    This city is the capital of the county, close to Port Padre. It has an important location and is relatively prosperous, so the bishop is a newly promoted Cardinal Field. He nodded lightly: "This is your piety."

    After praying in front of the cross, Earl Pephos smiled and said, "I don't know what business you have with me, Lord Bishop?"

    Field seemed to be kind and said: "According to the night watchman's report, there have been signs of magician activity in this area recently. I hope that you, Earl, can devote more energy to tracking down."

    "This is my responsibility." Earl Pephos replied casually, waiting for the bishop to discuss more important matters with him.

    "Very good, then Earl, you can go back and make arrangements." Field said with a smile.

    "Nothing else?" Earl Pephos blurted out in shock.

    Field raised his eyebrows: "What else do you need?"

    You can make it up, the anger in the heart of Earl Posk rises up, and call me over for such a trivial matter?  Just send someone to tell them!  What am I?  Church dog?  Just call me around?

    "Perhaps Earl, you think this matter is not important enough." Field's smile gradually disappeared.

    Earl Pephos tried to suppress his anger: "Please forgive me for my eagerness to devote myself to the Lord. Your Lord Bishop, since there is nothing else to do, I will go back immediately to arrange the investigation."

    He walked out of the church with an unchanged expression, entered the carriage, and sat in his position like a stone statue. It wasn't until the carriage drove a certain distance and the roaring thunder continued to sound that his face suddenly turned livid, and golden scales grew on the back of his hands.  .

    "How abominable! We nobles are not treated equally at all!" Earl Pephos gritted his teeth secretly.

    The rain was pouring down, and the night was getting darker. The howling wind made the branches and leaves of the trees on the roadside fly, and from time to time, leaves, debris, etc. fell on the carriage.

    Papapa, the rain hit the roof, as if playing instruments, Count Posk looked at the dark night outside the window, it was difficult to calm down for a long time, and his expression was slightly confused. Is this the true status of the nobleman?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Dongdong, the sound of three consecutive rhythmic knocks sounded near the car window. The Earl of Pephos turned his head in shock and growled: "Who?"

    Being able to approach silently without being noticed by my sixth-level Heavenly Knight, the opponent's strength is enough to be called terrifying.

    "A rash visitor." A slightly low female laughter came from the car window, but the coachman in front and the knight behind were unaware of it.

    "Who are you?" Earl Pephos narrowed his eyes, a layer of golden dragon scales appeared on his exposed skin, and his pupils turned into golden vertical pupils.

    The female voice with a bit of magnetism said with a smile: "Earl, don't you invite me to come in and sit for a while? Are you worried to this extent? If I really want to make a sneak attack, I won't remind you just now. I will treat you like this  For someone of this level, what does the carriage's obstruction mean?"

    ¡°A person who is very proud and likes to hit others Earl Pephos made a judgment in his heart. After thinking about it, he carefully opened the window.

    A bright red figure flashed in and sat opposite Earl Pephos.

    A high-level magician Count Pephos's alertness increased again and he was ready to take action at any time, but his eyes suddenly lit up because this was a bright and fiery young beauty. She was petite and wearing a bright red magic robe.  , the facial features are exquisite, the pupils are like blood, and the whole person is full of life.

    The rumor that female magicians like to change their appearance seems to be true, but doesn¡¯t it mean that high-level magicians will have many weird looks due to the in-depth transformation of their bloodline and the contamination of various experiments?  Earl Pephos subconsciously wondered why such a high-level magician had no memory of him and came from another country?

    "Being in a daze will not help solve any problem." The bright beauty opposite seemed a little hasty and said without any hesitation, "Earl, don't you want to change the status quo?"

    "The current situation?" Earl Pephos repeated in a low voice, and then sneered, "Discussing the current situation with a magician who is like a stray dog? Madam,We are not on the same level. By the way, what should I call you?  "

    This petite beauty¡¯s face darkened: ¡°Just call me ¡®Storm¡¯. As for the current situation, I think even domestic dogs have to worry about their own status.¡±

    Is this an attitude towards communication?  Earl Pephos couldn't laugh or cry that the magicians had sent such a lady here, and he didn't want to suffer any loss at all!

    But his expression became serious. Although this lady was rude, her words pointed directly at the problem that he was worried about just now.

    "We're running out of time. We're almost at your villa, so let me tell you directly." Ms. "Storm" ignored Earl Pephos's change of attitude and said in a hasty manner, "The value of your noble existence is to help the church fight against magic.  Master, if you lose the value of fighting against heretical races such as elves and dragons, then you will be no different from the ordinary people. What kind of place you have depends on the mood of the church."

    She narrowed her eyes slightly: "Moreover, compared to ordinary people, nobles with good strength will be secretly guarded by the church and gradually weakened. Therefore, you must understand where your value is reflected and not let it be lost."

    After finishing speaking, she did not wait for Earl Pephos's answer. She turned directly into a shadow and disappeared into the carriage. This kind of thing cannot be successfully negotiated at once, and must be communicated step by step.

    ?? Earl Pephos looked at the night when she disappeared, his expression was solemn, his eyes flickered, and he was lost in thought.

    The rain was pouring outside the window, the thunder was roaring, and everything was dark, like the end of the world.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
