Chapter 321: Chess Fall [2 in 1]

It was curfew time outside. Du Dian moved quickly along the street, relying on his keen hearing to avoid the parade soldiers in advance, and came to the wilderness, marching at full speed, and not long after, he came to a small town on the outskirts, which was a run-down town. Soldiers on duty with meager salaries, chatting at the gate of the town, dozing off and dozing off, and after the curfew, at most one parade, and they are too lazy to care.

Du Di'an came to the butcher's house last time, put on a mask, and still bought an iron-backed fat pig. The butcher's head was a middle-aged man who had already recognized Du Di'an. He was not surprised to see his dress, and suspected that he was a thief. , handed the iron-backed pig slaughtered in advance to Du Di'an politely. During the period, his youngest son did not sleep. When he came out and saw Du Di'an, he screamed in fright, and was reprimanded by him to go back. His wife immediately understood the child in the room and closed it. When I opened the door, only whispers came out, which ordinary people couldn't hear, but they couldn't escape Du Di'an's ears.

Du Di'an listened to his wife's words while trading. Seeing that he was not talking about himself behind his back, he was relieved. He put the iron-backed pig on his back in a thick sack and turned to leave. The power displayed by this action made the middle-aged butcher deeply. In awe, I remember Du Di'an's admonition more and more, not daring to expose the transaction between the two. After all, if this matter spreads, he himself will be punished.

Du Di'an followed the river outside the town and left the town from the side. No patrolling soldiers were seen along the way. After entering the wilderness, he quickly went to the fortress that he had smuggled over many times. Today is different from usual. Looking from a distance, the fortress is on There was obviously one more team of soldiers, and the smell of different people was also much stronger. Du Dian observed for a moment, found the gap, and passed over the wall with ease.

After smuggling outside the fortress, Dudi immediately walked along the wilderness to the dilapidated building.

When he came to the basement of this building, Du Dian immediately saw the little splitter locked in the tungsten steel cage, the latter also saw him, and suddenly stood up from the sleeping position on his stomach, and his sickle arm touched the tungsten. On the steel cage, there was a tinkling sound, like countless swords clashing.

Du Dian took out the dagger and, as usual, cut the iron-backed pig into several segments and threw it at it.

The little splitter looked at the iron-backed pig that was thrown in, and enjoyed it happily. It didn't take long for a whole iron-backed pig to enter its stomach. After eating, it sat down and rested again, as if knowing that it would never happen again. There is more food.

Du Di'an was a little happy when he saw that it didn't growl at him. Now he doesn't have a splitter's plasma shell on him, and he doesn't have any splitter's smell, but this little splitter seems to know him, even if he is close to the cage. arouse its aggressiveness.

Du Di'an smiled slightly and chatted with it while sitting beside the cage. Although he knew that it couldn't understand it, it was because of this that he could open his heart and speak his inner words without any scruples.

In this bleak night, in this barren mountain and ruined house, one man and one beast whispered.

After talking for half an hour,

Du Dian said goodbye to the little splitter, turned to leave, blocked the hole outside the basement, left the broken house, and went in the other direction to the rented passage of death.

In the middle of the passage leading to the giant wall, there is also a fortress guarded by knights under the Holy See of Light to prevent hunters from smuggling into the city. A hunter with special stealth abilities.

Du Dian rushed to the fortress of light, stopped far away, took out a high-powered telescope to observe, everything was as usual on the fortress, it seemed that the last time the destruction of the small splitter was just an illusion.

He hesitated for a while, but gave up the idea of ​​taking risks, turned around and left here. At this time, he felt the difficulty of being alone. If he had acquaintances in the Holy See of Light, he could sneak past with just a word of hello. This point, other consortiums have, this is the background.

After returning along the original road, Du Dian walked diagonally and went to another fortress, which was the fortress of the King of Knights that was breached by the savages.

It took more than an hour to drive at full speed before he arrived in front of the Cavalry King Fortress. Along the way, he could vaguely meet some wandering savages, marching towards the Cavalry King Fortress late at night.

Du Dian didn't attack. Although he couldn't find any information about the savages in the library, he knew very little about the savages, but he didn't have to think about it. The spoken language of the savages was not the same as the language in the fortress. The higher-ups with higher status among the people may know some languages ​​of the living area, and they know enough about the savages to be able to attack and kidnap.

When he was ten kilometers away from the King's Fortress, Du Di'an had already smelled the thick bloody smell floating on the grassland, which was pungent and choking. It is not difficult to imagine how many soldiers were sacrificed and how much blood was shed in the war during the day. He sneaked in. At about eight miles, the outline of a fortress can be seen far away, and one of the tall city walls has been breached and collapsed. Many hazy black figures swayed and entered the fortress along the gap.

Du Dian's eyes flickered. He didn't expect that until the middle of the night, the military did not snatch the fortress back, and did not hear the sound of snare drums and battles. Could it be that the military has abandoned the fortress?

"Behind this is the plain, which leads directly to the living area of ​​the commercial area, where nobles and wealthy businessmen live. The military should conduct the final defense on the city wall in the living area. Once the city wall is breached, the savages will be like wolves. Entering the flock, the casualties will be innumerable." Du Di'an's eyes flashed, although the military's heritage should be able to hold on, but the savages should not be underestimated, in any case, before this war starts, the first Those who sacrificed were the nomadic civilians living on the plains leading to the city walls of the living quarters. Although there were only a few scattered villages and economically backward towns on this plain, the population was at least tens of thousands. The first counter-offensive of the Cavalry King Fortress meant that the inhabitants of this plain were all abandoned by the military.

Du Di'an was thoughtful, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned and left quietly.

After smuggling into the fortress along the original road, when Du Dian returned to the hotel, it was already early in the morning. He woke the driver and went directly to the temple.

Du Dian went straight to the Temple of Divine Art, bought another 100 catties of the three materials from yesterday, and found another item at the same time, saying: "How much does it cost to exchange this in gold coins?"

The people behind the trading desk are still the former youth. Although Du Dian is wearing a mask, he still recognizes it, and even politely said: "At your discount rate, if you exchange one drop, it only takes ten gold coins."

Du Dian immediately said: "Give me two bottles."

The young man was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly: "With your authority, you can only purchase a thousand drops at a time, only one bottle."

Du Di'an frowned and said, "Okay, let's have a bottle first."

The corner of the youth's mouth twitched slightly, and the tone sounded like buying horse wine, but he knew that Du Dian had just developed a new magic technique recently, and he did not lack this money, and said: "Okay, you fill in the form first, and I will apply for you. "

Du Dian filled out the form, paid the money, and turned to leave.

Taking a carriage to the Thirteen Gods Castle, Du Dian got off the car at the door and asked the driver to wait for him. When he came to his own temple, he was stopped by the temple staff guarding here, "Hello, may I ask you? Is that Mr. Du Di'an?"

Du Dian nodded.

"This is an invitation letter for you." The temple staff respectfully handed out a letter.

Du Di'an was surprised, took a look at it, there was no signature written on it, he did not open it on the spot, after entering the tower, he opened the letterhead, took out the letterhead and glanced at it, and understood that it was inside the Thirteen Gods Castle. Letter, inviting him to participate in the divine art seminar held in the Thirteenth Fort in March. The date is three days later, and the invitation letter was sent three days in advance. Art creation.

Du Dian put away the letter, picked up a large bag of letterheads on the ground, turned and left, preparing to go back to the castle and then slowly unpack it.

...

...

Lane Castle, second floor.

Three young figures came to Fulin's study and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and it was Sandro who opened the door. In the past two years, Fulin had arranged for a middle-aged maid to be in the hall on the grounds that he was old and had inconvenient legs, and Sandro was responsible for his daily life.

"Come." Sandro smiled when he saw the three.

The three were flattered and said, "I have seen the young patriarch."

Sandro smiled slightly and invited the three of them into the house.

In the study, Fulin sat on a rattan chair, looked at the three of them with a smile, and said, "Your friends, Dean has a letter and asked you to come and help, he is short of manpower now, you have been with me for so long, noble The basic etiquette, preferences, rules, as well as various clothing brands, luxury items, all have shown you, now Dean needs you, I hope you will help him well."

These three were exactly the three of Barton, and when they heard Fulin's words, the three nodded again and again.

Fulin smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead and say hello to him for me."

"Yes." Barton agreed.

The three of them left the study, went downstairs together, and left in the Lane family's carriage. Inside the carriage, the three of them were all excited, and Barton said in a low voice, "We can finally do something big with Dean."

"Yeah." Joseph grinned and said, "I always live in this noble house and feel very uncomfortable. I will follow Dean in the future. We can't call him Dean anymore, so as not to abuse our old man."

"Well, in the future we will call him Mr. Du, or the young master. Although we came out with him, without Dean, there would be no life for the three of us today. Before it was changed, I dared not even think about it. Satin is actually used to make rags, milk is used to wash your face, and a small stone is worth hundreds of thousands of copper coins. Compared with now, the life we ​​used to live was like raising pigs." Kruen said with a bright face.

Barton smiled and said, "You are wrong. The pigs here eat much better than us, and there is meat every day."

Joseph laughed and said: "Dian, oh no, it should be called the young master. He said that he will lead us to do a great job in the future. Now he is a senior envoy of the Temple of Elements, and he reports every day. He is a dazzling person like a pearl, we really did not choose wrongly, with him, we will have a good life in the future."

Kruen smiled and said: "You can't run away in good times, but don't forget, what was the reason for the young master who brought us here? The first is to trust us, and the second is that we have a clean foundation, and we are a small person. , it is convenient to do some things, the things that the young master asked us to do a few times ago were all those things, and it is estimated that it will be the same in the future.

Patton's expression was solemn, and he said seriously: "What we are doing is shameful. If it is exposed or arrested, the young master cannot be implicated in death. Without him, there would be no us today, and there would be no me Patton!"

Joseph and Kruen looked at each other and patted him on the shoulder. Kruen said, "Look at what you said, are we the kind of people who would betray our brothers?"

Barton's expression softened and said, "Of course I understand you. I won't talk about this, it's coming soon. Be careful when you talk about the walls."

"Well." Joseph nodded. "He should be stared at by all parties now, and there are probably many other consortia eyeliners outside the castle where he lives."

...

...

"Master, three people have come and said they want to see you." Nicotine entered the house and reported.

Du Dian was opening the letterheads one by one and said casually, "Let them in."

"Yes." Nicotine turned to leave, and returned after a while, followed by the three of Barton.

Du Dian stopped and saw half of the letter in his hand, looked up and glanced at the three of them. After a long time no see, the three of them had obvious changes. They were no longer timid and cowardly. They looked elegant and dressed more plainly. , but it has its own temperament. At first glance, it is difficult to think of it as a "slum area", but if you look closely, you can still see the defects of the three people, such as the tiny fleshy bumps on Patton's neck. It is the obvious change caused by radiation. Like Krone, the left hand only grows to the elbow, and half of the sleeve is empty, which belongs to the disabled.

Du Di'an knew that the nicotine next to him should also have noticed this. He looked calm and said to the three: "Long time no see, sit down."

Although the three of Barton knew that Du Dian had the same background as them, but now seeing that the temperament of the latter made the three of them a little restrained, it was difficult to call them by their first names as before. Barton responded and sat on the chair next to him. To Du Di'an: "Du ... young master, what are you looking for for the three of us?"

Du Dian glanced at him, did not correct his title, but was quite satisfied. Of course, this was not his vanity, but from this small matter, it could be seen that the three of them had indeed grown up, and their personalities were much more cautious. Without recklessly revealing their close relationship, he immediately said, "Barton, do you believe in the Holy See of Light?"

Barton was slightly stunned, not understanding why Du Di'an asked this, glanced at the nicotine next to him, and said honestly: "Having doubts..."

When Du Dian heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and the nicotine next to him also showed a smile. At the same time, he tilted his head and looked at Du Dian curiously, only to see Du Dian with a smile: "From now on, you believe in the Holy See of Light."

"Ah?" Barton blinked, a little confused.

Du Dian smiled and said: "I mean, you enter the Holy See of Light and become a knight in the Holy See of Light."

Patton was stunned and said awkwardly: "Master, I also want this, but they won't want me, I..."

"Leave this to me." Du Dian smiled, "You are only responsible for entering the Holy See of Light and allegiance to the Holy See of Light wholeheartedly."

Barton came to a realization, "Master, are you going to put me in the Holy See of Light and serve you there?"

Du Dian shook his head slightly, "You just need to do as I say, and be loyal to the Holy See of Light wholeheartedly, you don't need to think about anything else, and you will never know me again, understand?"

Barton was a little dazed. He seemed to understand, but he didn't understand. He wanted to ask, hesitating and holding back, and said, "I see."

Du Dian nodded with satisfaction and said to Joseph next to him: "What about you, do you want to be a mighty general?"

Joseph was stunned and said: "Master, do you want me to enter the military?"

"Smart." Du Di'an smiled, "Like Patton, you developed well in the military, and since then you have forgotten me. You only need to think about how to be a good general."

Joseph and Barton looked at each other, and although they were a little dazed, they nodded, "Got it."

Du Di'an looked at the last Kruen, smiled slightly, and said, "Just follow me."

Klein was stunned for a moment, but nodded in response.
