Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 253 Baron Siliki?
(Two in one, I forgot to type poi in the title)

Amasir's May has a fresh and grassy atmosphere. During the short rainy season before, the few new shoots that had just been unearthed took the time to grow. At this time, they had already grown to the point that they almost covered the horse's calf. .

Cyril was wearing a cloak that was used as a quilt at night, standing in the simple yard of the residential house surrounded by a broken fence, looking into the distance.Genius has just turned the belly of the fish, and the surroundings are full of melodious bird calls. The little birds with white belly red spots, pointed long beaks and smart eyes interweave the sonata of the dawn, announcing the beginning of a day's life.

For a full month, they crossed the Volgo Province in the east of Solconan, passed through most of Amasir, and finally came to the fief of Cyril, a place with only ten families near Siliki. small village.

The people here don't look rich, their clothes are tattered, and their living environment doesn't show any luxury.They don't seem to have much ability to cultivate and plant, and only a small piece of land is used for agriculture.

And their mental state doesn't seem to be very good, they are very impatient when they talk to others, and they don't have any kindness towards Cyril.Even the place where Cyril and the others live is a shabby house left by a family who left here.

All kinds of situations made Cyril's heart sink. They have come all the way, and they have not avoided the vision of the local city nobles in Amasir. After all, this place is far away from the capital. They didn't reach it, let alone Amathir.

However, although the castles, towns, and villages along the way are not as prosperous as the capitals or wealthy provinces, at least the quality of life is guaranteed to a certain extent, and the mental outlook of the residents is also very positive.

However, Cyril could feel that the further he went to the northeast, the more desolate he became.At this time, it was only one step away from Siliki, but Cyril felt that this place was even worse than Tapu Town on the northern border.

It can also be seen how bad the situation is in Nasiliki, and further to the northeast, Somi and Yevwind.

But the problem is, Cyril remembers that when he came to this place in the game, it was clearly not like this.At that time, Siliki, Somi, and Yevwind had built a triangular area as he wanted to build, and there was a special flat road from the middle of Amasir all the way to Siliki , allowing the goods to be transported conveniently.

Although it was already 1444, four years later, it was only four years, so it wouldn't have changed so much, right?
He was thinking about the reasons for this reality that was completely different from his impression, but he heard a sound of dragging footsteps, and the gravel on the ground was kicked with a crackling sound, and a thin old man stood beside him. In front of him, his face was full of impatience.

"Why haven't you left yet? We don't have much food for you."

As soon as he opened his mouth, his tone was extremely disgusting, and Cyril was stunned for a moment. He didn't see the old man last night, and the old man's malice was even better than others.

But in the face of this undisguised malice, Cyril had no idea of ​​getting angry.He looked at the old man gently, and asked in a low voice:
"Mister, we don't need you to provide us with food... But, are you short of food?"

Unexpectedly, his words hit the old man's pain point instead. He immediately raised his sparse eyebrows, the wrinkles on his face were all screwed together, and shouted hoarsely: "Lack of food? Are you asking if we lack food? Three months out of the year we have to eat grass like animals, don't you think?"

His sudden loud voice woke up those who were still asleep. The door of the carriage was pushed open. Cyril turned his head and saw Miss Misha rubbing her eyes, yawning, and lazily getting out of the carriage. , while asking:
"Family, what happened?"

Her voice was as melodious as those of the birds, but Cyril was keenly aware that when Misha spoke, the old man's gaze focused on Misha, and then his entire face flushed red. Yes, and in the next second he yelled recklessly:
"Okay, you are actually elves?! Get out, get out of our village!"

This time, Miss Elf, who hadn't woken up, was completely refreshed. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the old man dissatisfied. With a slight shake of her hand, the strangely twisted staff landed on her hand, angrily Then he went to the old man.

No matter how good-tempered she is, she can't bear this unreasonable malice towards her own race, and this is still Amathir, rounding it up, this is the base camp of the elves, which means someone told her to get out of her home——

And more importantly, she hadn't woken up yet, and she was still in the wake-up stage.

But Cyril reached out his hand in time to block the elf lady who was about to run away behind him. He clearly had a premonition that the poverty that shouldn't happen had an inevitable connection with the elves.And to get this clue, you have to get it from the old man——

"Old man, we don't have any malice, can you tell me..." He said as sincerely as possible, he could only use this attitude to coax the bad-tempered NPC, but the situation collapsed faster than he imagined Under the old man's broken gong-like voice, all the residents of this small village rushed over, their faces were full of disgust, and they almost poked their fingers in Cyril's face to scold him.

Under such circumstances, even if he still has the psychological quality of the player to do the task, Cyril couldn't help but sink his face, but before he could make a move, he heard the sound of howling wind beside him, and then a stern cold light came from in front of him Flying across, a beautiful cross was intertwined in the air, which turned into little ice crystals and fell to the ground.

The air seemed to be a little bit colder, and those residents were startled by the cold light, and all backed away in fright.And Cyril looked to the side, and saw the little blond girl with a tight face, slowly putting the cold long sword in her hand into the sheath, and then she shouted in a low voice:
"This is the new Earl Siliki, don't be unreasonable to the lord!"

Kelan, Rhodes and others also surrounded him and stood behind Cyril.Elina's appearance in time to sing bad faces successfully deterred the group of "troublemakers". Cyril took a deep breath, and was about to continue the conversation, but saw the old man at the head spit on the ground instead, Then he yelled:
"Earl? Earl is nothing. The former Baron Siliki said he would settle this matter for us within half a year. It's been two years, and you're still like this. You're a bunch of liars. Get out, get out!"

Baron Silikie?Who is that?

Cyril was a little dazed, but in the next second, he thought of a name, and then a lot of stories related to it came to mind.

He understood immediately, but when he looked up again, he saw that there was already a lot of anger in front of him, and the shouts of "get out" were endless.

"My lord..." Elina was a little at a loss, she didn't know if she did something wrong, if she should draw her sword again to scare the group of "troublemakers".

But immediately, she saw the half-elf boy slightly shook his head towards her, then slowly reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist.

A gust of wind suddenly rolled up from behind Cyril, and hit the faces of the group of residents. Those who were shouting were all slapped on the face by the wind, and their breathing was stagnant.

Their voices were all blocked, and they could only watch helplessly as the young "Earl" slowly pulled out the long sword from his waist, and drew a deep mark on the ground in front of him.

Then the boy's clear voice sounded:
"I assure you in the name of Earl Siliki, the leader of the Silver Blade Knights, and the honor of the original pioneer."

"Five months, within five months, you—not only you, but the entire northeast corner of Amasir will return to your old life."

"You don't have to believe it at this time, but if your life returns to normal after five months, I hope you can offer your loyalty to me, your lord."

His cold gaze swept across the faces of this group of stunned people, and then he turned around quickly: "Klan, prepare the horse, let's go."

There was no more scolding or chasing, and 10 minutes later, the carriage had already driven out of this poor village.

Cyril sat in the carriage, looked at Alina with a serious face:
"Alina."

Elena panicked, she thought that Cyril would be held accountable for her rash actions just now, so she quickly responded: "Ah, yes, my lord!"

Then she saw a hint of worry on the face of the half-elf boy: "Is what I said just now not enough momentum?"

Alina blinked: "Huh?"

Cyril sighed: "I'm just asking if you think what I said just now can bluff people. It's that simple. It's the first time to be a lord and I have no experience. It's okay to bluff one or two people, but it's okay to bluff a group of people." It's too difficult."

Alina felt the corners of her eyes twitch uncontrollably, she had no idea that Cyril just regarded this group of people as a "test field", but she thought that Cyril was so determined just now.She thought about it and said quickly:
"Well, I think it's generally okay, but it lacks some foreshadowing, and..."

She frowned, unable to hold back her words, while Misha interjected from the side: "Clan, your speech just now was not strong enough to make them resonate and hold themselves accountable, so it is far from convincing people. "

Cyril showed embarrassment: "So there are so many defects?"

"Of course, at this time, I recommend you to read Nora's Code of Nature. It must be a great inspiration to you..."

Miss Elf said, she unbuttoned her coat, took out the big book that she almost never left with her, and was about to hand it to Cyril, but just as Cyril was about to take it, she took it back hands, showing a sly smile:
"But after reading this book, you have to go to the Mufeng Ceremony with me."

"Is that why you want me to attend your elves' ceremony?" Cyril couldn't help laughing. He was also thinking about this question, and he couldn't give an answer at this time.

At this time, Elina hurriedly said: "But... my lord, are you serious about the five months you said?"

Cyril also put away his relaxed look, nodded solemnly and said: "Of course, the five-month guarantee is serious."

He really didn't say what he said out of nowhere.If he hadn't thought of the related incident before, then when the old man mentioned "Baron Silikie", his thoughts suddenly became clear——

Baron Siliki, there is a person in history, but his identity as Baron Siliki is not well-known among players, and he is famous for another identity:
Earl Peggs.

Historically, he completed the unification of the northeast corner of Amathir and named the northeast region Peggs.In Cyril's impression, the prosperous scene in the circle of Siliki was the work of the Earl of Peggs.

However, the ending of the Earl was not very good. In 1444, he disappeared in the Black Forest and never came back.There is a life-sized statue in Siliki, dedicated to his memory, and bards also narrate his deeds there.

Among these deeds, there is a story related to a "disaster" event in the Northeast that occurred in 1440.If I guessed correctly, it should be "lack of food" as this small village said.

Cyril remembered that his name seemed to be Jean O'Connor, the fourth son who was the least favored of the Duke of O'Connor in the Amaxier region. If he guessed correctly, it was precisely because of his extremely low status in the family, To be kicked to the northeast corner...

Of course, his baronial title can only be obediently abdicated in front of Cyril, the earl certified by Solconan. As for how to deal with him, it is estimated that Duke O'Connor will not care about the life and death of these four sons, and he can let Cyril I dispose of it.

However, considering that he was able to manage the northeast corner of Amasir in such an orderly manner in the game, and the degree of prosperity was not inferior to that of the central part of Amasir, one could imagine that he did have certain abilities.Cyril just thought about it, and then he had an idea of ​​where to arrange him.

Gene O'Connor -

Cyril thought about the name.He didn't delay in this village because he wanted to get useful information from this group of villagers. He might as well rush to Siliki now to ask what happened to the baron.

According to what the people in the village said, with the baron's work attitude, he probably has spent two years researching this matter.

Otherwise, he would not be able to solve the disaster here in 1440.As long as Cyril finds Gene O'Connor, he can get first-hand information and fully understand what happened here.

The more Cyril thought about it, the more relaxed he was. He casually poked the face of Caroline who was still sleeping, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Alina:

"Elena, didn't I tell you to call me the boss?"

Immediately, he saw the girl puff up one cheek, with a hesitant look, and said submissively: "The name of the boss... sounds too strange, and the lord sounds better."

Cyril's heart trembled, and he felt inexplicably as if he had just heard such a conversation not long ago.He wanted to say something, but felt pain in his fingers, and looked down, but Caroline bit his hand, and he didn't know what dream he was having.

So the little Caroline ended her wonderful day of lying in bed, and was hung on the roof of the carriage by Cyril, and was beaten while hanging.

In this happy atmosphere, the carriage drove into Cyril's fief.

Silikie.
