Riding and Slashing

Chapter 133 It's Useful to Die

Li Ang checked Fusher's body again - the neck was shot through, and he was out of breath. He was indeed dead.

However, in order to ensure that there would be no moths, the lord still cut off Fucher's head with a sword, so as to avoid any disgusting things like death and resurrection.

The body and head were separated without any abnormality.

Forscher is just an ordinary person after all, and does not possess the strange abilities of the Three Prophets.

Considering Fuscher's poor combat effectiveness, and considering that Frederick said that Fuscher led a team of more than 300 people when he first started-he is probably a smart player, right?

what……

But what about the players?
In the face of the real world, players are nothing.

The lord has long since used the logic in the game to think about things, he has long known that it is unreliable!
If you can't integrate into this world, and wander around this continent with the mentality of a player, that is to die...

How can something written in code be exactly the same as the actual situation?
Each 'partner' has their own thing to do and they don't stay in the tavern all the time.

The ruins definitely don't need any missions, and the refugees are not "mission props", they are all real people!

Even the undead medicine that can be exchanged for Dragon Tears in the game will have terrible side effects if taken - Alaric has already been driven into a lunatic!

According to what Sarah said before, many "heroes" who claimed to be "sons of prophecy" appeared in Pendor Continent, but without exception, they all hiccupped!

The illegal knight who did all the bad things with a strong sword, but was finally skinned;

The slave trader who relied on a lot of wealth and mercenaries to run rampant in Pendor, but was built as a capital under the Misty Mountain;
That one has 'witchcraft' and even created the leader of the Snake Worship Cult who brought live broadcasts;

They might all be players...

But in the end, none of them caused any big waves, and only made some more topics of ridicule in the tavern.

This Fucher is indeed one of the 'sons of prophecy'...

But likewise, he is also a 'prophetic crumb' in the true sense.

Even in the end, he didn't have a clear understanding of the world - he probably never encountered a time when he really needed to work hard himself.

Fucher is the kind of so-called 'senior player' who only knows how to play games and uses games as a reference for everything!

He has good pre-conditions, the Grand Duke will cover him as soon as he appears on the stage; he is not short of money or manpower; he has rich game experience...

This is an advantage in the first place, but it is probably because of the rich game experience that Fuscher has a deep-rooted mindset.

Coupled with the preconditions of having everything, he never had to face the real danger. The result was——he didn't realize for a long time that what he was facing was no longer a game at all!

He easily recruited Frederick, and easily obtained the musket bullets from Guangxiaowan, which undoubtedly deepened his mindset.

It was probably not until he was taught a lesson by the Jatu people that he realized that he could not face the world through games.

But now, this senior player who finally accepted the reality and planned to 'farm and develop' was shot to death by Amy with an arrow, and died silently.

This piece of prophecy didn't even make any waves in Pendor Continent, and it was even worse than those guys who became a joke in the tavern.

No one, except perhaps the Duke of Alma, expressed the slightest regret at his death.

Many people are like this—even if he is treated like a protagonist, he will just fool around.

However, this player did leave some good legacy to the lord.

The matchlock gun is of course a good thing, and it is what the lord is looking for.

In fact, Li Ang even felt that the two goddesses, Eunomia and Astalia, were indeed taking care of him...

Did the Goddess specially arrange for Fucher to deliver the goods to her?

By the way, he also sent an old swordsman?
Oh, and also sent a life.

By the way, although Forscher is dead, he is still useful!
Li Ang looked at Fucher's body, and after sitting there and thinking about it for a long time, he called Frederick again.

"Frederi, you should have met the Duke of Alma, right? Does he know what Fucher did?"

Frederick shook his head hesitantly: "The Duke should only know a small part. At the end of last year, he asked Forscher to do a lot of things for him. At that time, Forscher hadn't done so many bad things. But since he went After Mistcage City, due to being injured in the arena, he stayed in Mistcage City for a while and separated from the Duke, and Duke Alma should not know anything about it after that.”

From the looks of it, when Duke Alma was in charge, Fucher was quite normal. This should be to maintain the 'favorability'.

So at that time, he just led people around taverns, looked for treasure chests, and sent people to complete the "tasks" assigned by Alma - such as the bridge repair at the border of the Jatu Grassland and the robbers who wanted to capture Changhe Town. thing.

And without Alma's restraint, he probably started to let himself go, and began to "create refugees" wantonly...

Although Alma is not a good person, his plans are only for power, and he will not do evil at will.If he was with Forscher, he certainly would not have allowed Forscher to do these things.

"Then Duke Alma probably doesn't know about this manor either?"

The lord pointed to the building that was still burning.

"It must be unknown here. These murders and arson were all done by Fucher himself. In fact, the Duke scolded Fucher after he knew the evil deeds of 'creating refugees' before, so Fucher Xie Er will stay here all this time, saying that the son of prophecy can get along well without relying on the duke."

Frederick shook his head while talking: "But now, without the duke's protection, he will be finished immediately..."

This kind of shit must be scolded, and the village belonging to Duke Alma also "created refugees". Alma didn't take off a layer of his skin, which is already considered true love.

"Then have you seen Lord Fawcett?"

Li Ang's eyes lit up.

Frederick nodded again: "I've seen it once. Fusher originally wanted to entertain him and establish a good relationship with him, but Lord Fawcett didn't like to associate with Fusher, and there was no friendship between the two parties."

Li Ang smiled: "That's good!"

It was inevitable that Fawcett would not associate with Faucher.

The Duke of Alma did not shy away from letting people know about the illegitimate son of Forsher, but the illegitimate child did not have any inheritance rights, so Fawcett, the legitimate heir, naturally would not care about him.

Fawcett would definitely be dissatisfied with his father's fondness for illegitimate children, and it was only natural for him not to want to associate with Faucher.

Moreover, the members of the Horton family definitely don't have any good feelings for Fusher - most of them even want him to die, because he slaughtered the village of the Horton family!
But for the Duke of Alma, it is a good thing to have a black boss in the family, and many dirty jobs that are inconvenient to solve can be done by Forscher.

Alma probably made this arrangement on purpose. The legitimate son is an orthodox noble knight, and the illegitimate son is the black boss. Both sides can play a role.People in the family don't like Fucher, which is a good thing in a sense, because there will be no inheritance disputes in the family.

This is actually much smarter than Earl Alden's method of operation.

However, it was precisely because the Grand Duke was extremely cunning that the lord decided to cause him some more trouble.

For example, let him know that Fucher died in the Lion Lake City area.

This matter is very simple-let Frederick take Fusher's body away and leave it near Lion Lake City.

"Frederi, take Fusher's body to Lion Lake City and give it to Fusert or anyone in the Horton family, and then come to the manor to find me immediately."

Glancing at Fucher's body, Li Ang added: "If someone asks you, just tell the truth."

"be honest?!"

All the people in Mettenheim, including Frederick, were shocked: "My lord, are you planning to go to war with the Duke of Alma?"

Li Ang spread his hands: "What kind of war is going on... Don't worry, Alma doesn't want to trouble me..."

The lord is very sure about this matter.

Only Amy was not surprised, she was probably the only one who could understand the Lord Lord's intentions.

Because Li Ang has been telling her to get used to substituting other people's thinking.

Those pirates and members of the Red Brotherhood ran a lot, and they will definitely pass the battle here to the Duke of Alma, so Leon will let Frederick tell the truth.

The pirates who escaped by boat must have seen Forscher fall into the lake, and they knew that Forscher was either captured or killed, not burned to death anyway.

Moreover, these survivors all knew that it was a nobleman holding a black and white griffin flag who had clashed with Forscher, and this nobleman seemed to know Forscher.

So lying is out of the question.

Alma knew the black and white griffin flag, so Alma knew that Fucher had a conflict with Leon.

But this obvious truth can sometimes mislead people...

Of course Grand Duke Alma knew, and Li Ang definitely knew Fusher, and knew that Fusher was his son——Alma watched the competition in Fogcage City.

If Fucher was still killed by Li Ang after his men fled, what would Alma think?
How could a little baron deliberately kill the duke's son after winning the victory if no one instructed him?

But Forscher had no fatal conflicts with Leon or Godric, or even any other Eastern nobles.

Moreover, Fucher died in the Lion Lake City area—then, in the eyes of Duke Alma, who would be the most suspicious behind-the-scenes instigator?

Who else... Of course it's Fawcett, a dutiful son!

Under such circumstances, anyone will involuntarily suspect this filial son...

You know, the Duke of Alma was tricked by Fawcett just now, and he was charged with harboring heresy.

The lord often wrote letters to Fawcett, and also led the garrison of Changhe Town to join Fawcett.

Moreover, Fawcett provided Li Ang with a large amount of food just now - I am afraid that anyone would suspect that he used the food to instruct Li Ang to kill people!
Because Alma dotes on the illegitimate child, but because Fawcett exposed Mrs. Bella's affairs, the family lost the best chance to get Changhe Town, so Fawcett is about to lose Alma's trust.

So he first sued Alma in front of the king, so that she could not get out.

Then buy other people to kill the favored illegitimate son - since Forscher once ravaged the Horton family's village, killing Forscher can gain the support of other members of the family.

And take advantage of this period of time to win over the troops in the family, so as to protect his inheritance rights with a coercive posture...

Is this reasonable?

Both the motive for killing and the person who made the biggest profit point to Fawcett, who lacks everything—on the contrary, Li Ang has neither the motive for killing nor the person who makes the biggest profit.

With a mind like Alma's who has studied conspiracy for a long time, he would definitely think that Li Ang might just be the executor, not even the final executor...

Because Fawsert was beheaded after being shot in the neck-if Fauciel died after being shot, there is no need to beheaded at all!

In Alma's eyes, the biggest possibility is that Li Ang didn't kill Fucher, but shot and caught him...

Then, the person was handed over to the messenger behind the scenes.

And what about Fawcett?
He had very little contact with Fuser, and knowing that Fusser was dead, he would probably be secretly happy, but he would definitely think that something was wrong—Fossert died in the northern part of the kingdom, in the area of ​​Lion Lake City!

He may cover it up, or he may take the initiative to tell Alma that it has nothing to do with him...

But no matter what he did, it would only deepen the suspicion.

Yes, many things are like this, in fact everyone has seen the truth, but everyone will doubt the 'true truth'!
The point is - everything is told the truth.

Don't spread rumors, don't cheat, everything is true, but it can make these people doubt the truth.

Of course, this kind of simple operation but quick effect can be done quickly.

Frederick took the corpse to Lion Lake City, and it only took three days to go back and forth. When he returned to the manor, he happened to see Li Ang loading grain into a ship.

After sending back Faucher's body and terminating this unbearable employment relationship, Frederick seemed to have relieved his burden and relaxed a lot.

But at this moment, he once again showed a hesitant expression.

His previous uneasiness was because he had helped Fucher do evil in order to complete his mission.

And now, it's because the food here is about to change hands... And he still hasn't completed his mission.

Li Ang transferred the fleet from Changhe Town to the manor to transport the grain. Crossing this flat lake, the grain can be directly sent back to Mai Xiangling.

This manor has a large cellar, which stores the freshly harvested wheat of this manor.

"My lord, there are more than 40 pounds of grain here, and I..."

Frederick looked at the lord, and seemed to want to ask for food, but he couldn't open his mouth—his current status was equivalent to a pardoned captive, and it was unreasonable to ask for anything.

Of course Li Ang could see what he was thinking, and shook his head: "Of course I am willing to help you, but Mettenheim is far away from the sea, and there is no way to transport food if there is food - first transport it to the port by horse-drawn cart, and then transport it back by ship Mettenheim, but this manor is two thousand miles away from any port on the mainland, and I'm afraid there will only be empty cars left after it is transported there!"

Frederick, Klose and others sighed in unison.

Indeed, the grain from this estate could not be transported to Mettenheim.

Long-distance land transportation is too expensive and too slow.

Mettenheim is too far away, first after two thousand miles of land transportation, and then thousands of miles of ocean transportation, how much food can be successfully transported...

"My lord, can you help us think of a solution, we can't just sit idly by and ignore the difficulties in our hometown..."

It was Klose who spoke, and other Mettenheimers nodded together, expressing that they all want to contribute to the motherland.

After all, Mettenheim is a country that has just been independent for only a few decades, and the patriotic enthusiasm of the people is indeed unmatched by other countries.

But Li Ang is just a small lord now, and he wants to help an uncle...

It's really not easy...

So the people of Mettenheim didn't have much hope, and Klose just wanted his boss to help him out with ideas.

Naturally, the lord cannot be indifferent to the request of his capable subordinates.

"This is difficult, let me think about it..."

He is really thinking of a way seriously.

But the lord is not trying to be a good person, nor is he trying to win over his subordinates.

He wanted to use the metallurgical technology of the Mettenheim people!

The small island country of Mettenheim is not big, and its population is not large. It is said that it only has a population of 6 to [-].

The entire country itself is just a larger earldom, and the islands covered with volcanoes are sparsely cultivated, but rich in minerals.

Although they are a small country with few people, their metal smelting technology is world-leading. It is said that the Mettenheim plate armor and dueling sword can amaze the Noldor elves—the actual combat ability can be compared to the enchantment of the Noldor equipment.

Li Ang's Griffin Sword was considered by Klose to be a high-quality weapon that he had only seen in his life, but Frederick's dueling sword had crossed twice with the Griffin Sword, but he was not injured by the Griffin Sword at all.

This is enough to show their level of forging—the dueling sword is only the standard weapon of the Mettenheim Death Squad, but this Griffon sword is obviously a family heirloom of the royal family of the Ancient Pendor Kingdom.

Moreover, in the confrontation with the Buckley Empire, the Mettenheim people also created iron-clad ships!
Of course, in the era without steam power, the ironclad ships powered by sails and oars could only move in the offshore and could not sail in the ocean, but this was enough for them to continuously defeat Buckley's powerful navy.

You know, the navy of the Buckley Empire is now embarking on their grand voyage to colonize!
If the nation that can create the Mettenheim dueling sword and iron-clad ship is given their technical structure and samples, maybe they will be able to mass-produce muskets!
Li Ang told Amy that the criterion for judging profit and loss today is not whether it makes money or not, but whether it is possible to achieve the goal.

That matchlock gun is the most precious legacy left to the lord by Forscher, the 'Shard of Prophecy'.

According to Frederick, this is Buckley's latest arquebus.

This veteran who has fought against Buckley's army for a long time has seen this kind of weapon. A year ago, Buckley's army was equipped with this kind of arquebus.

In fact, the people of Mettenheim also attach great importance to this cross-age weapon. The class consciousness of this emerging country is not so stubborn, and they are willing to use any weapon to strengthen themselves.

But they didn't have time to imitate it—Mettenheim's biggest problem right now is famine, and they still have to think of ways to repel powerful enemies, so they can't spare their hands.

Therefore, the lord is of course willing to help them.

Although what he can do is limited, maybe because of his own help, he can just solve Meittenheim's urgent need?

This is timely help!
