Chapter 228 Damn Liar

In fact, not all nobles were so miserable. Those who responded to the call first were lucky. They were protected by the earl and several viscounts. Including those who were assigned to the Rat Territory, many of them became vassals of the Lord of the River.

But the people themselves had to donate, and there were a lot of resources needed to build the city wall.

So they only had no worries about the land, and could stay in the Rat Territory or the shelter and do nothing. But looking at the cold eyes of the mayor or the dawn knights in the shelter all day long was obviously not as interesting and exciting as adventurous life.

And more free!

The west of the valley is now an uninhabited wasteland. After the migration of humans, it has become a paradise for animals again. And there are many creatures in the mountains of the valley.

Whether it is catching horses, bison, valley long-haired goats, or hunting wolves, deer, bears, wild boars, and even wild beasts such as mountain cats, they will get good rewards.

Occasionally, mercenaries will encounter some monsters wandering in the valley. This situation can be said to be bad luck, or it can be said to be good luck.

Encountering monsters like zombies may not be profitable, but there is no danger. But if you encounter monsters like scavengers and blood giants, although it is dangerous, you can make a fortune.

And if you can capture scavengers and blood giants alive, or bring back fresh corpses, the bounty you can get is enough to exchange for a bottle of precious potion!

The Black Lake Swamp has now become the hottest place, with many herbs and monsters, and it is rumored that there are also demon spiders wandering around! Although only those elite mercenary teams dare to go there, as long as they come back alive, they will make a fortune!

If you can kill a demon spider and bring it back, you can exchange it for a bottle of 'Eight Arms Power' or 'Snow Frost Power'!

And the legendary 'Crystal Power' has become the yearning of all mercenaries!

Even if you don't encounter the rare demon spider, you don't collect any herbs. As long as you bring the talisman and wander around the swamp for a few days to find those ghosts, or even the special "nameless ones", the "death purification" and "sorrow crystals" collected are also very valuable.

In addition, there is a place in the valley where you can try your luck, which also makes mercenaries release enthusiasm - I don't know which fisherman first spread it. Although no one has seen those goblins, scholars are very interested in the release of plants and animals there.

Someone brought back a special oak branch and a few "mana floats" before. Anthony directly asked for a set of "Black Lake Armor" with divine patterns from the logistics department! (The armor that the Black Lake Corps has not yet equipped is a design improvement of the storm armor. The appearance of the armor used as a reward for mercenaries will be very different to distinguish between sergeants and mercenaries.)

It is rumored that the Black Lake armor is all from the craftsmanship of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the divine patterns that can only be engraved in the cathedral are enough for the nobles to collect and treat as rare treasures.

In the eyes of the mercenaries, it is more valuable than the power of snow and frost! That lucky lone traveler was a lucky winner!

So after that, the mercenaries were like chicken blood. Many people went to the legendary holy oak. But no one has gained anything so far. After the enthusiasm cooled down, many people turned to the swamp and accumulated their wealth crazily.

The nobles' desire for wealth is even more so, but compared to those mercenaries who have muscles in their heads, they have greater ideals.

Some people want to establish their own mercenary group, and some want to build a big ship to go south for business.

Others want to reproduce the glory of their ancestors-after the fog, many nobles died and the territory became a wasteland. Elizabeth's later policies allowed the population and nobles to retain one-third, and those who colluded with the "devil" were cleared by the Knights of Judgment. Now the nobles in the valley are only one-tenth or one-twelve.

A large amount of blank land will inevitably be reclaimed after the city wall is built. There are even rumors that the great Earl Gast is planning to issue the "Pioneer Agreement" in the future. In this agreement, the land to be developed may not be hereditary, but may only be for 50-70 years, and taxes must be paid. But this is enough to make people jealous.

Whether it is hiring labor to open up wasteland or recovering lost land inherited from the family. It has become the life goal of the living nobles.

Dawn came, and the crowd in the tavern changed one after another.

The noisy dance began, and the bard sang a new ballad. In this ballad, Tanya's eyes were already covered with mist and gradually blurred.

I don't know when it started, but the tavern has been crowded with many girls. When the wolf-slaying soldiers and riverside mercenaries on vacation saw them, they took the initiative to give up their seats, but were rejected with reserve.

They stood quietly everywhere, in the aisles, corridors and even outside the windows. They didn't drink or laugh, which was out of tune with the atmosphere of the tavern. It seemed that they came here just to listen to stories.

That was the story about Elizabeth. In the poet's ballad, thank her for guarding the valley. In her eyes, all the people of the valley are her own children.

It is said that she was originally an angel who was cursed by the devil, so she used her blood as power to transform many cursed people into blood elves to fight against the evil curse.

However, the angel's blood is limited, so some of the cursed people could not be protected by her and turned into vampires who devoured people. And this angel eventually shed the last drop of sacred blood, was controlled by the devil, and turned into a fallen angel.

In order to free those suffering people from the control of the devil, she faced the priest's sword, used the power of her soul to release the sunshine that purified the entire valley, and gave her the blessing of her two children.

One child was named Blood Elf, and the other was named Black Pearl Man.

Therefore, humans and blood elves have the same roots and origins.

At the last moment of Elizabeth's life, she entrusted her last wishes to the priest. The priest swore that he would inherit her instructions and lead her children towards the light.

Now that the curse has been removed by the great wizard Anthony (a gimmick created by George to please the audience), the demons and vampires have been basically eliminated, so the blood elves in the sanctuary are all good, and many of them are people close to Elizabeth. They have all made great contributions to protecting the entire valley. It is precisely because of these angels that everyone can live to this day and have so much food to eat.

'That damn liar, fooled everyone'

The mellow and rich brandy entered her mouth, and Tanya felt dizzy.

That hateful guy put all the sins he had done on the devil and wiped himself clean. But in fact, he is the devil who captured the manor.

However, this demon completely shattered the mountain of rumors and rumors that once weighed on Elizabeth.

He also gave Elizabeth a clean slate and a blood descendant, an identity to start her life over again.

This is the ideal that the master wants to achieve in the valley throughout his life - a republic between blood descendants and humans. But the more he did, the more he went wrong. and suffered much criticism

For this person, I don't know whether to be grateful or resentful.

He was Elizabeth's swordsman. He took over Elizabeth's last wish, did what Elizabeth couldn't do, and gave the vampire another way, a way to the light.

If it were said that before, I only focused on the overall situation and knew that I could not kill this human lord. But now I don’t want to do anything to him from the bottom of my heart.

Because that is indeed a path to the light.

The blood poison of the blood descendants has been cured, and the cured have become real "blood elves". Blood elves can bathe in the sun - although they can easily get sunburned if exposed for too long.

Even now, the 'blood elves' need for blood is no longer that great. Their bodies can already absorb part of their energy from food. Although blood is still a necessity, they are no longer so eager for blood.

The blood moon will be a shackles for the bloodborn, but not for the blood elves.

Because of those magic potions and the light of dawn, no matter what state they are in, whether they are mad or not, they will always maintain their sanity and true intentions.

"Tanya, one hundred and twenty-eight gold lions, did I set the price of the tavern too high, or are you so good at drinking that you are not afraid of being 'picked up'?" I don't know when, a mouth filled with The stingy guy has been secretly summoned from the castle by the nobles.

‘Another strange word. ’ Tanya didn’t even raise her head, she couldn’t tell who was who.

He stretched out his big hand and closed the account book. The payer lifted up his cloak and took out his money bag: "Keep it so that you can settle the account, otherwise Miss Dana (the leader of Liuying) will complain to me again."

A smell that seemed to have been touched by the sun spread from the cloak to Tanya's nose, contaminating the wine glass under her nose.

The man pressed down the wine glass rudely, looked at Tanya with extremely complex eyes, and said sadly: "I can sell eight pieces of silver fox in the tavern for this glass of yours!"

Tanya raised her hazy sleepy eyes, looked at this stingy bastard, wrinkled her nose, and drank the brandy in one gulp.

Afterwards, she couldn't remember what happened next.

At the moment when he held her on his shoulders, George heard the woman drunkenly say to the bartender: "Don't forget to store the barrel of gold wine I stole. If I don't come to see you next time, I'll kill you little pretty boy." of"

‘Tanya, with such virtue, how can you pretend to be the new leader of the valley in front of those noble coalition forces?’

George also held the barrel of golden wine that Tanya mentioned in his arms. He left here with the attention of all the men in the tavern.

In the hearts of the nobles, the only person in the entire valley who can deal with this aunt is probably this grandpa.
