As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

Chapter 269 The Way to Death (5)

Rempoint.

This is not a prosperous big city, and there are not many customers coming and going. The hotel seems a little empty, and the part-time clerk boss is sitting behind the counter and taking a nap.

It's early in the morning. Generally speaking, there won't be many customers at this time. Plus, I don't have any spare money to hire a clerk. I stayed up late last night, and I stayed up late at night with the widow at the east end of the town. Now it's... When I'm tired, I just want to take a nap while there aren't many customers.

Unfortunately, the sound of rapid footsteps woke the shop owner from his sleep.

With a start, the shop owner immediately opened his eyes. When he saw several figures appearing in the shop, the turbidity in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

The wrinkled face was like a blooming chrysanthemum. It only took less than two seconds to change from sleepy eyes to a full smile. He was indeed professional. He walked out from behind the counter immediately and quickly greeted him: " Military lords, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?"

The dark red armor was different from the army the shop owner knew.

But you can tell from the chilling aura on their bodies that these are definitely not a group of beings to be trifled with.

A question instantly appeared in the shop owner's mind. Could these people be under the command of Princess Dolores?

Who doesn’t know what kind of moral character the soldiers of the Kingdom have. Because they have been in arrears with their military pay all year round, those soldiers are all sallow and thin, with dull eyes. How can they have any military spirit?

As for his actual combat ability, it is even more impressive. In a one-on-one fight, he is probably not even comparable to the thugs on the streets.

In the huge Granville Kingdom, perhaps only the guards guarding the palace have a slightly military appearance. However, that was in the past. Ever since Her Royal Highness Princess Dolores took charge of the army, in a short period of time, Granville's army could be said to have taken on a completely new look.

"Eat." The leader of the four soldiers took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it to the shop owner: "Just pay for one silver coin."

The shop owner happily took the silver coin and turned around to get ready for food. He confirmed that these were the soldiers under the eldest princess. Although the royal guards in the palace were also very good, those guards never paid for their meals.

Just upstairs, Agnes stood quietly at the window, peeping at the movement below. Her spiritual consciousness spread, and all movement in the large area around the hotel could not escape Agnes' perception.

Right behind Agnes, there was a man lying quietly on the bed, with his heartbeat and breathing even.

Suddenly, the man's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes. Maybe it took too long for the soul to leave the body this time. The sudden return of the soul made even Ron feel inexplicably uncomfortable. What I saw in front of me was a slightly yellowed ceiling. From the corner of his eye, he could see Agnes standing quietly at the window, motionless. I don't know if it was Ron's illusion, but I always felt that Agnes' figure seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

"Agnes, how long have I been asleep this time?" Ron exhaled and asked slowly.

The moment Ron's voice came out, Agnes's body trembled violently, and the magic power that was originally delicately controlled suddenly became chaotic.

A familiar yet unfamiliar pretty face appeared in front of Ron's eyes. The cheeks were a little less round and a little more thin. Her blue eyes were full of joy, surprise, and disbelief. Agnes seemed to want to pounce on her, but finally held back, and the thousands of words deep in her heart finally turned into one sentence: "You're awake. "

"Wake up." Ron nodded and tried to get up from the bed.

But because the body had been lying down for too long, it had become a little stiff, and it became a little troublesome to control it for a while. At this moment, a gust of fragrant wind blew, and Agnes's figure had quietly appeared on Ron's body. On the other hand, she didn't ask Ron what he was doing when his soul left the body, she just used her slender little hands to help Ron's body.

After a short period of activity and adaptation, Ron gradually returned to normal. He exhaled heavily: "How long have I been asleep?"

"Twenty-eight days." Agnes quickly reported a number.

Ron's face stiffened slightly.

My body lay motionless in bed for twenty-eight days, so it’s no wonder this happened.

Fortunately, Agnes has always been by his side during this long period of time. Otherwise, if the soul leaves the body, the devil knows what will happen, and someone will wipe the neck silently without knowing it.

Although the Soul Crossing Boat is wonderful, it is also too dangerous.

This is the second time this has happened. Next time you enter the Soul Crossing Boat, you must make all kinds of preparations in advance.

Twenty-eight days, put in time, is more than two hundred days. In such a long time, I have only comprehended the content of the first page of the Key of Time, and learned only one magic:

slow!

What is slow is time.

Glancing at Agnes's thin cheeks, Ron felt a little distressed: "It's been hard on you during this period." Agnes smiled gently: "It's nothing. For a practitioner, twenty-eight days is just a short period of time." But it’s fleeting, let me wash your face first.”

With a Yingying smile, Agnes turned and left. Not long after, she brought a basin of water over and gently wiped Ron's face with a soft towel.

Before Agnes got married, she was a young lady from a noble family. After getting married, although she was relegated to the sidelines, she was still a princess. She was usually served by others. Serving others like this was still the first priority for Agnes. Second-rate. But there was no trace of disgust in my heart, and there was even a hint of happiness.

What she wants has never been high position, wealth and wealth. Perhaps this kind of ordinary life of mutual support is the real desire in Agnes' heart. Although she also knew very well that this kind of mediocrity would not last long, and that was the case, so every minute and every second was precious to Agnes.

After washing up, Ron and Agnes walked downstairs for the first time. They hadn't eaten for twenty-eight days, and both Ron and Agnes could feel the hunger in their bellies.

In a small place like Rempoint, the breakfast is quite simple and cannot be compared with the big hotels in Adams. However, Ron and Agnes had a very delicious meal. But before they had even taken a few bites, they suddenly heard something in their ears. A voice came: "Brother, do you think Her Royal Highness the Princess is really going to get married this time?"

Ron just picked it up and the dry bread that was about to be brought to his mouth suddenly stopped.

After two seconds passed, Ron silently put down the dry bread, stood up, and walked towards the soldiers over there. Seeing Ron's actions, Agnes, who was holding Lucia in her arms, smiled helplessly. Immediately, she knew that those ordinary days would not last long, but she did not expect that things would happen so quickly. But it was precisely because of this that she would like this man even more. After all, no one wants their lover to be unfeeling. A disloyal person.

Now that her husband has made a decision, as a wife, she only needs to silently support him behind the scenes.

Before they knew it, Ron's figure had appeared in front of the soldiers. Those soldiers looked at Ron's figure and closed their mouths one by one, because they didn't know what Ron's purpose was, and it was obvious in their eyes. Feeling a little vigilant: "Sir, what's the matter?"

"Haha, it's nothing. I just heard from some military lords that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is getting married?" Ron laughed and said, "I dare to ask, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, but Her Royal Highness Delores?"

"It's natural. Is there a second eldest princess in our Kingdom of Granville?" A soldier glanced at Ron with some contempt, his eyes seemed to say where did this bumpkin come from, and he was actually the company commander princess? Your Highness doesn’t even know.

Ron was also a little embarrassed, thinking that he, a great prophet and even Vice-Pope Apu, was despised by a few soldiers.

However, Dolores's methods are really good. Look at the soldiers in front of her, they look decent. Ron has not forgotten how shocked he was when he saw the army of the Kingdom of Granville in the game. What kind of soldiers are they? They are just a group of refugees.

Some thoughts quickly flashed through his mind. Ron's expression remained unchanged, and he waved to the shop owner to bring him a few more bottles of good wine. He moved a chair and sat directly next to him.

For the sake of a few bottles of good wine, these soldiers ignored Ron's familiar behavior. After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess is now in charge of the military. Although the soldiers' military pay is paid in full, the previous arrears of military pay have also been paid. Make up the full amount. However, the soldiers' pay is very small. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess has been raised a little, it is still not too much. The bottles of wine that Ron just ordered at random cost several silver coins each. This is not what small soldiers like them can do. Affordable.

After a few glasses of wine, the faces of these soldiers were also bright red, and when they looked at Ron, they became more and more pleasing to the eye.

After all, although Her Royal Highness the Princess has improved the status of soldiers, it is still short-lived. In the Kingdom of Granville, there are still many people who look down on soldiers. Except for the royal guards of the palace, most of the soldiers still have no status. of.

Men, it is easiest to get acquainted with each other in the drinking hall. This is true on earth, and it is also the same in the Twilight Continent. As waves of drunkenness hit, these soldiers' chat boxes also completely opened up.

"Bah, don't look at what kind of person our eldest princess is. She is noble, elegant and beautiful, with good figure and strong ability. If our eldest princess can inherit the throne in the future, then the people of Granville may really be able to live a better life. Good times.”

"The eldest son of the Egbert family may sound like he has a noble status, but in fact he has a notorious reputation. Even if I am stationed at the border, I have heard of this guy's name. There are thirty-six brothels in Adams. Everyone is a diamond member..."

"In one year, the number of women from good families who have been harmed will be eighty if not one hundred. Is this kind of thing worthy of our eldest princess?"

"Well, I think it's the old Biden of the 474th Holt, as well as the eldest prince and the second prince, these two useless snacks. They want to take advantage of this opportunity to give the military power in the hands of the eldest princess. It's just recycled. After all, according to Granville's rules, once a woman gets married, she becomes an outsider and naturally loses her right to inherit the throne. Moreover, as an outsider, she naturally cannot control the army."

"We soldiers have only lived a good life for a few days. Once that old man Holt 474 takes back the military power, who will pay us military salaries in the future? Damn it, even those who died on the battlefield will probably be No one helps us collect the bodies."

"Bah, a bunch of people who eat people's food and don't do anyone's business. What kind of treatment do we soldiers get on weekdays? When we encounter beasts, young gods, or even foreign invasions, we think of us..."

Ron smiled and said nothing at the complaints of these soldiers.

It was obvious that these soldiers were full of complaints against the upper echelons of the Granville Kingdom.

Even if the 474th Holt could remove the military power from Dolores, he might not be able to win back the morale of the army.

However, this old man, Holt 474, actually still thought about marrying off Dolores. Just because of this, he had a way to die.
