Nine Hundred and Forty Eight Gossip

Not all magicians are cold-blooded and ruthless, and not all people are born with an inexplicable sense of superiority.

When he saw people who spoke the same language and had the same emotions standing in front of him, Hector felt his heart was full of sympathy.

After vaccinating his sickest patient, he walked back to his dragon mount.

Full of emotion, Hector stretched out the palm that he used to hold the long sword, stroked the dragon's body with mixed feelings, all the way to the dragon's huge head, and looked at him.

"Old friend, how about we fly again as soon as possible? Bring more supplies, they really need our help here! Compared with my previous life, I am full of pride in what I am doing now." Hecht said Petting the giant dragon, he spoke to himself.

He seems to be recalling his past life, and seems to be reflecting on his past mistakes: "I used to be like a parasite, living by cruelly plundering the wealth of these people. Now I am different, I feel The meaning of my life."

"As a knight, the glory should always be with me. And the glory is not bestowed by others, but by my own spirit and my own choice. I think, as a magician and a dragon knight, I should help those who are in trouble Weakness, not bullying them." After speaking, Hector withdrew his palm and looked at his mount.

"Roar!" The giant dragon seemed to understand Hector's words, raised its head to the sky and screamed, and spread its huge wings.

For those civilians, such huge meat wings are like tents covering the sky and the sun. Amidst the rising dust, the giant dragon raised its body, staring at Hector with a pair of eyes with erect pupils, as if waiting for its master to turn over and ride on his back.

The old man who had just helped distribute the food walked up behind Hector tremblingly, wary of the giant dragon, as if he was afraid that the monster would swallow him with one mouth.

Finally, he mustered up his courage, and asked Hector, "Master Magician... yes, is there anything I can do for you? Look, you brought us food. Thank you...we really don't have any money to dedicate to you..."

"I don't need your sacrifices, I'm just ordered to carry out the task of saving you." Hector felt that he deserved the other party's respect, and now he is indeed the savior of these people, but ten years ago, he and many magicians Just like the teacher, he didn't regard these mortals as human beings at all...

Now, after a short time together, he already felt that what he believed in before was wrong, and that he himself was wrong. These people are real people,

They also have wisdom and thoughts, and they are also living, genuine people!

So he was a little embarrassed, coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and then said: "If you want to thank, you can thank the current emperor, His Majesty Chris! He is the one who saved all of you."

There was a sentence he didn't say, but he buried it in his heart: Or, His Majesty the Emperor also saved me...saved my soul.

"In addition, I really need your help!" As if remembering something, Hector took out a map from his satchel and handed it to the old man: "Are there any villages nearby?" ? The human kind."

"There is a village about a day's journey away from here. I don't know its name. When we migrated here, we passed by there. There were people there..." After finishing speaking, he turned his head. , Shouting to a man in the distance: "Lenke! Lenk!"

The man named Lenk immediately dropped the work he was doing, and ran over while rubbing his hands behind him.

When he got close, the old man introduced, "Lenke is the best hunter here. He just went to the next village a few days ago. He knows the situation most accurately."

"The village next door? Master Mage... The village next door is not in good condition. I didn't dare to go in the last time I went there because there were crows circling everywhere and there were traces of wild beasts." A hunter named Lunk As soon as he spoke, Hecht felt that he was much more professional.

I only heard Lunke continue to say: "Where there are many people, there will be no wild beasts. You know, the plague is terrible now, and I don't dare to enter other people's villages to take risks... But I saw some people on the street. The untreated corpses were bitten by scavengers, so the situation over there should be very bad."

"Thank you, thank you for your help! Where is the approximate location of the village? It doesn't matter if you don't understand the map, you can tell me where it is, and I can mark it." Hector's military map is not very detailed, after all, here There are not many satellites covered.

"Go further west from here, and I'll be there around noon." Lenke replied, pointing in a direction. : :

Marked a cross on the map, and then drew a straight line, representing the possible location of the village, Hector put away the map, and then handed the portable locator to Lenke: "Keep this green light on, Put it in an open place! It can guide me back here and bring back more food... Do you understand?"

Lenke took the locator, held it in his hand like a pilgrim, and solemnly replied: "Understood, my lord! I will definitely protect it and regard it as my life!"

"I'll be back as soon as possible." Hector nodded, and then patted Lenk on the shoulder heavily.

In the eyes of everyone expecting, Hector turned over and rode his beloved dragon again. This time, he had a feeling of going out for the sake of these strangers in front of him, for the sake of These were the same kind that he didn't think were the same kind.

"Long live Alan Hill!" He muttered softly, riding on the dragon's back, his feet gently clamped the giant beast under his crotch, and then the giant dragon flapped its wings, Blow away the dust nearby.

...

"Those demons deceived us! They bewitched those damn magicians! They tried to use a potion to control you!" In another unknown town, a city guard officer in armor with a long sword , shouting loudly to the gathered crowd.

In front of him stood men holding long guns. These men were arrogant and scattered handfuls of copper coins to the crowd who didn't know what happened.

I heard that if you come here to hear the truth of the matter, you can get a reward. These civilians have no other good place to go, so they gathered together to listen to the nonsense of those disgusting city guards.

Although everyone didn't quite believe the so-called lies of these city guards, but seeing the real old-style copper coins, everyone was here happily waiting to take advantage of themselves.

"If you use the potion, you will become servants of the devil, and your brains will be eaten by the devil!" At the height, the officer of the city guard was still shouting at the top of his voice, threatening the civilians who didn't know the truth.

"Back! Back! We won't be polite any further!" A few city guard soldiers covered their mouths and noses with white cloths, and pointed their spears at the civilians who were about to approach and snatch the copper coins.

They were also terrified. On the one hand, they were afraid that the refugees would attack and snatch the cash box behind them. On the other hand, they were also afraid that the plague would infect them...

These people were sent out to create momentum for Earl Herman. Earl Herman, who was taken away, actually had such a plan long ago, but he had to come up with it in advance.

Their plan kills two birds with one stone, and it can be said that it is not imprecise: on the one hand, it is to create momentum for Earl Herman, establish a great image of his savior, so as to cooperate with the next charity rescue, and let the survivors be grateful; The rescue plan of the Er Empire, so that more people will die, so as to obtain more land and master more wealth.

It's a pity that Earl Herman was arrested, so this plan had to be implemented ahead of schedule, and in the process of implementation, it had to change its taste: these people who spread rumors tried their best to slander the Alan Hill Empire, create hatred, and eventually Cause turmoil and shake the rule of the Alan Hill Empire in the southern region.

Only in this way can the irreplaceability of the old aristocrats be highlighted. Finally, according to the decisive method in history, the empire had to compromise with the old aristocrats and old city owners, give up management rights, and withdraw the dispatched consuls.

As long as the old nobles in the southern region recognize the nominal ruling power of the Alan Hill Empire, they can continue to ride on the heads of the common people, continue to absorb the fat and anointing of the people, and live their rich lives.

Herman promised these city guards huge benefits. After the event was completed, they would get a lot of money and supreme power.

Those plutocrats and nobles can become lords, and their city guards can evolve into warlords, and even separate themselves and become uncrowned kings.

With such a huge temptation, there is no need to charge forward, just to spread some rumors, there is simply no better deal than this. So these city guards took action immediately, gathering refugees everywhere and spreading all kinds of rumors.

Seeing that there were more and more people, the officer of the city guard continued to shout loudly: "If you believe them, you have fallen into their tricks! Only Earl Herman is the real savior!"

What he said was well-founded, and the crowd below became restless: "They arrested the earl, but they didn't allow Earl Herman to save people! Those who claimed to be soldiers of the Alan Hill Empire are the ones who are responsible for this incident. The culprit of the disaster!"
