At the gate of Baifeng Castle.
The patrolling soldiers straightened their waists and separated their sides.
A luxurious four-wheeled carriage with a black background inlaid with gold and engraved with complex hollow patterns, escorted by dozens of knights, slowly drove into the castle.
On the side of the carriage, the shield-shaped family emblem composed of a black lion and a red maple leaf looks particularly noble. It is the family emblem of the Maple Leaf Border Border Count.
And dozens of knights, each riding a white horse, wearing silver armor, with serious and solemn faces.
They exude a powerful aura, and they are all silver professionals!
The carriage stopped in the courtyard of the castle, and then, a male nobleman who looked to be in his forties got out of the carriage.
He is tall and wears a shawl painted with red maple. His curly black hair and pale and gloomy face make him look a bit more mysterious and noble, and he has a pair of dark blue eyes and a high aquiline hook. The nose makes him a little more deep and serious.
Otto von Cappadocia.
One of the seven candidates of the Holy Mania Empire, the White Knight, the Earl of the Border, the Lord of the Maple Leaf Territory…
With so many glorious titles under his belt, Otto is undoubtedly one of the most powerful men in the entire empire.
The unfathomable strength and the powerful army in his hands also made his name very loud among the surrounding tribes.
It’s just that at this moment, the border uncle, who was respected and envied by countless people, didn’t seem to be in a very good mood.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”
Just after the border uncle got off the carriage, a voice of joy and fear came from afar.
I saw a short figure wearing a butler’s uniform and a wig, coming over in a hurry.
When he saw the other party, Uncle Border’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Anders…”
He shouted softly.
However, there seemed to be no emotion in the words.
Everyone who knows Otto knows that the more he behaves like this, the worse his mood becomes.
“Uncle…Your Majesty the Earl…”
Anders shuddered and stuttered a little.
“We’ll talk about it later.”
The border uncle waved, the knights dispersed one after another, and the coachman drove away in his carriage.
However, one of the followers stayed behind and followed the border uncle respectfully…
It was a middle-aged man dressed as a mercenary. His face was a little pale, and the armor on his body had traces of fighting, and there was also some faint blood stains.
If the players were here, they would recognize that this was one of the seven silver professionals who originally chased them, and he was also the only mercenary from the Sauron Chamber of Commerce who escaped!
“Mr. Shanying, why are you here?!”
Anders was shocked when he saw this mercenary.
Hearing Anders’ name, the mercenary just looked at him coldly and sneered:
“What do you think?”
Anders:……
For a moment, his face became even more ugly.
Bo Zejiang turned a deaf ear to the exchange between the two.
Under the service of four personal maids with elven blood, he took off his shawl and put on the indoor aristocratic boots. Then he walked straight into his castle and came to his own study.
I saw him sitting on his favorite elf-style wooden chair, drinking high-end Iris coffee that the butler had just brewed, playing with a delicate black ring, and listening to the music behind him. The old steward next to him reported on the recent affairs in the territory.
Anders and Shan Ying stood respectfully and reservedly at the door, not daring to say a word.
The old butler’s work report lasted about twenty minutes, and when he finally finished speaking, he suddenly paused, glanced at Anders at the door calmly, and then said casually:
“In addition…in the past two days, something unpleasant seems to have happened in the business district of the territory. Now that you have met Mr. Shanying, you should know the specific things.”
This **** old thing!
Hearing what the old butler said, Anders looked at him hatefully and gritted his teeth.
The old butler lightly gave Anders, who was the slave master, a hard time, and then resigned respectfully. Only Shan Ying, Anders, and Borderer were left in the study.
“Tell me, what’s going on? I just went to the imperial capital, why are so many things happening in the territory?”
Border Uncle’s voice was deep and thick, with a hint of dissatisfaction and questioning.
“Nearly half of my underground industries in Maple Leaf City have suffered huge losses, and the elves prepared by the major slave chambers have also been defrauded… Anders, what on earth is going on?!”
He looked at Anders coldly.
Even Anders has a stake in the Sauron Chamber of Commerce. As the city lord of Maple Leaf City and the lord of the entire Border Territory, Border Count naturally also gets a share of the underground chamber of commerce’s transactions.
This time, in fact, almost half of the materials that players cheated into the Eve Kingdom belong to him.
Hearing the scolding from the border uncle, Anders trembled.
He complained secretly and said quickly:
“It’s the nobles from the south! It’s all done by the nobles from the south! I was also deceived by them!”
“Noble?”
Border Uncle sneered, he turned his head and looked at the mercenaries of Sauron Chamber of Commerce:
“Hawk, tell Anders what you saw.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The mountain eagle saluted the border man, then looked at Anders and snorted:
“Bullshit nobles! I took six silver professionals from various chambers of commerce to track them. Those guys…even if they choose to commit suicide, they will not compromise, and the way they fight is simply shameless. This Where are these nobles? They are obviously desperadoes!”
Not a noble?
Anders opened his mouth.
But…if they weren’t nobles, how could those young people take care of themselves so well? And why do you still enjoy it so much?
And…if they are really desperadoes, how could they be so inexperienced and ignorant of common sense?
Could it be that… I was deceived by them from the beginning?
“And… they are obviously coming for our elf slaves. During our pursuit, they have been protecting those elves, even if… they die! They are the same as those elves! ”
Shan Ying said again.
Bao…protecting the elves?
Anders was slightly dazed.
“I heard people say that they…aren’t they reselling elves?”
He felt like his mind was going crazy.
“Bullshit reselling! The elves they resold all committed suicide! Not even their bodies were left behind!”
“Now think about it, it’s not certain whether the elves sold by them are elves or not! I don’t know whether they really committed suicide or fake suicide!”
“According to the Golden Apple Trading Company, when the elves they exchanged committed suicide, the trading company’s defensive array detected traces of space magic. Maybe… they were all teleported away!”
Shan Ying sneered again.
Teleport…teleport? !
Anders’ eyes widened.
“So…so…the goods from the underground chamber of commerce…”
“Hmph, all the things that were touched by those people disappeared out of thin air! The Sauron Chamber of Commerce has sent people to check it. I’m afraid… it’s an extremely clever teleportation spell!”
Shan Ying continued to sneer.
Is it such a powerful teleportation spell? !
After hearing his words, Anders’ eyes widened.
But…those people are not very strong either!
“So…”
Anders’ voice is a little dry…
“So…this is not a noble from the south, but a strange and mysterious force?”
“What do you think?”
Shan Ying mocked.
Anders:……
“Wait…”
Suddenly, Anders noticed something else.
He looked at Shan Ying, his expression suddenly a little uncertain:
“Now that you are back, those people who went after you…”
After listening to Anders’ words, Shan Ying’s expression flashed with sadness.
“Dead, all dead.”
He sighed.
“Dead…dead?!”
Anders’ eyes were slightly dull.
Seven silver professionals, this is a powerful force. Under the gold level, they are walking completely sideways. Why are they dead now? !
“We encountered a black dragon.”
Shan Ying looked at him deeply and continued:
“That black dragon is in the same group as those guys.”
“Black… black dragon?”
Hearing this word, Anders was stunned.
“Anders…”
At this time, Uncle Border suddenly spoke.
Anders was startled and quickly looked at his lord respectfully.
“Do you know why I didn’t just kill you when I saw you?”
Border Uncle said with a smile.
However, there was no emotion in his smile, and the look he looked at Anders was very indifferent.
After hearing the words of the border clerk, Anders immediately started to sweat profusely. He hugged the border clerk’s thigh with a plop, crying and wailing:
“Your Majesty the Earl! Your Majesty the Earl!”
“It was indeed my greed this time that led those guys to the underground chamber of commerce, but…but I am also loyal to you!”
“And…and…I still have important information to report to you, I have important information to report to you!”
Listening to Anders’ words, the border officer sneered and kicked him to the ground.
“Humph!”
He took out the white handkerchief from his chest, wiped the area where Anders was holding him, threw the handkerchief into his face, and then said:
“Is that the black dragon?”
“You…you know?”
Anders was stunned.
“Black dragons are not common…”
Border Uncle said calmly.
After speaking, he took a sip of coffee, put on the ring he had been playing with for a long time, and then said:
“I heard that the territory was attacked by a black dragon some time ago, and you were kidnapped by the black dragon. This time, the territory was infiltrated by unknown forces again, and Shan Ying and the others also encountered a black dragon…”
As he spoke, the border clerk looked at Anders and narrowed his eyes slightly:
“Anders, should you give me an explanation?”
After hearing what the border man said, Anders was horrified:
“Lord Earl! Do you think it’s me?!”
Border Uncle didn’t speak.
Anders cried bitterly and subconsciously hugged his lap again. However, after being stared at coldly by the border clerk, he changed his arms and hugged the chair under the border clerk, and said with snot and tears:
“Your Majesty Earl! Your Majesty Earl! Anders is completely loyal to you! Anders escaped from the black dragon’s claws, but he walked for almost two months before coming back! Your Majesty Earl! Didn’t you see that? Is Anders so thin?”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Anders does have important information to report to you! It belongs to that evil black dragon! But… Anders has absolutely nothing to do with it!”
After hearing Anders’ words, the border clerk raised his eyelids slightly:
“Then tell me what you want to report.”
After hearing what the border clerk said, Anders was overjoyed. He was about to speak, but when he saw the mountain eagle standing beside him, he suddenly hesitated.
“The mountain eagle is one of our own.”
Border Uncle said calmly.
Since… one of my own?
Anders’ eyes widened.
Above is the Lord of Eternity! For a behemoth like the Sauron Chamber of Commerce, does the Earl also have an informant? !
He took a deep breath, organized his words, and then said:
“Lord Earl…it’s a black dragon! This must be the black dragon’s doing!”
“That black dragon! It raised many elves! Not only that, the elves it raised were extremely ferocious, just like another species! I saw with my own eyes that they attacked and killed a crocodile mercenary group with thousands of people! ”
“A black dragon that feeds elves?”
After hearing his words, Shan Ying and Border Uncle were a little surprised.
“That’s right!”
Anders said excitedly.
While he was talking, suddenly…a bright light flashed in his mind:
“I understand!”
“I remembered! Elves! They must be elves! Those southern nobles are those elves pretending to be!”
“Elves pretending to be?”
Border Uncle was even more surprised.
“Yes! Lord Earl, I suddenly remembered that when those elves attacked the crocodile mercenary group, once they died in battle, their bodies would disappear… This is consistent with Mr. Shan Ying’s description, and the descriptions of the major chambers of commerce. The experience is exactly the same! ”
“I’m afraid… they are in the same group! That southern caravan is the elf pretending to be!”
Anders said loudly.
“The deceived elf slave…the elf who will disappear after death…the black dragon that feeds the elf…”
The border clerk tapped the armrest of the chair and frowned slightly.
He rubbed his temples and then glanced at Anders:
[Benefits for Book Friends] You can get cash or coins by reading books, and there are also iPhone12 and Switch waiting for you! Follow the vx official account [Book Friends Base Camp] to get it!
“What else do you know?”
“What else do you know…”
Anders was a little confused.
However, seeing the uncle’s unkind eyes, he quickly racked his brains to recall…
“Yes, yes! Those people… no, those elves still eat meat!”
“In other words, rather than being elves, they are more like humans wearing elf skins!”
“Now that I think about it, when I was communicating with them, I didn’t even realize that their identities were wrong! It’s because they are so much like humans! They are completely incomparable to the elves lurking in the human world.”
“They… are completely different from those elves in the traditional sense! Now think about it, maybe those so-called tame elves are also pretending to be them!”
“And…those elves are not afraid of death at all, nor are they afraid of pain! When they were fighting the crocodile mercenary group, I saw with my own eyes that some elves had half of their bodies chopped off, and they were still jumping and laughing until Die…”
An elf raised by a black dragon who is not afraid of death?
The border clerk frowned slightly.
Under what circumstances are you not afraid of death?
One situation is for ideals and beliefs…
The other situation is not afraid of death!
In other words… is there any way to contend with death!
For a while, Uncle Border’s thoughts started to spread…
“Do you have anything else to say? Is there anything you are hiding from me?”
After thinking for a while, he looked at Anders again.
Anders trembled slightly and shook his head quickly:
“No! No! Nothing!”
The border clerk narrowed his eyes slightly.
Anders lowered his head.
“Stand back.”
After a moment of silence, Uncle Border said.
As if he had been granted amnesty, Anders bowed to him excitedly and then slipped out.
However, just as he was about to leave the door, a long sword penetrated his chest.
His excited smile froze on his face.
“Black Iron is in charge? No wonder he can kill everyone who is traveling with him…”
Behind him, the somewhat unexpected voice of the border officer came.
Hearing what Uncle Borderer said, Anders’ eyes instantly froze.
He…he…how…how did he know?
Anders opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he could only spit out a mouthful of blood, and then slowly fell to the ground.
Behind the scene, the cold voice of the border uncle came:
“They are just a few untouchables. In order to silence them, I will kill them. I can forgive you for your stupidity and your greed, but you should not hide the murder from me. I… I hate cheating!”
“Drag him down.”
After finishing speaking, the border uncle glanced at the surprised mountain eagle standing aside.
The mountain eagle bowed to the border man, and then dragged Anders’ body down…
Only Uncle Border was left in the room.
“Your control over the soul power is getting stronger and stronger, and you can even see the undead surrounding him. It seems… you are really suitable to follow the path of the law of life and death!”
At this time, an old voice resounded in the room.
Border Uncle didn’t seem surprised.
He took a sip of coffee and said with interest:
“As you said, I put all the elves in the Chamber of Commerce, but I didn’t expect that it actually attracted a big fish…”
“Tell me… what is the relationship between these strange elves and the Oak Hand? Can our plan still proceed smoothly?”
“Of course.”
The old voice smiled slightly.
His voice still echoes in the room:
“Didn’t he say that? Those are a large number of elves…”
“Isn’t our original purpose just to find more elves? After all… only elves have the blood of Yectrasil!”
After listening to his words, the border clerk narrowed his eyes slightly:
“But…Anders said those elves are weird.”
“That is also an elf. The detection methods I left in the Chamber of Commerce cannot be faked.”
The old voice continued to laugh.
“Such an interesting elf interests me even more.”
“Just now… they seemed to have killed one of my children…”
“Unfortunately, the distance was too far, so I didn’t sense how they did it…but, I seemed to smell a familiar scent.”
