Lord Chronicle

Chapter 20 This is the legendary crisis

After leaving the woods, everyone finally returned to Lowell two days later.Although they have only been away for about a month, they all feel as if they have been separated from each other after several twists and turns.

Saul was filled with emotions. It was really difficult for him to be the lord when so many things happened in the end after a warcraft commotion.

Seeing their figures appear in the town, Marlene almost rushed into Sol's arms, and he couldn't help but comfort him, because this girl knows how much she loves me.

Afterwards, many citizens came to visit them spontaneously, which made Sol truly feel the true feelings of the Lovell people. For these simple and kind people, it is worthwhile to take risks.

After Pochi and Yada who stayed behind came, Sol asked about the situation of the territory.After they left, the monsters' harassment became more and more serious day by day. The whole town was mobilized, and Vince even relocated all the people outside the town.It was almost unbearable even for a while, and many people were injured in the attack, and several people died.

Fortunately, since two days ago, the activities of the monsters in the mountain stopped suddenly, and the town was able to restore peace. It seems that the forest is indeed the source of their commotion.

But the matter did not end. Lovell suffered heavy losses in this incident. The fields and houses on the outskirts of the town were almost completely destroyed by the monsters. There are still countless aftermath work waiting to be done.

Jessica didn't care about rest, and immediately devoted herself to the work of rebuilding the territory. Chip and Kress also automatically returned to the team, leading the defense team to help maintain law and order.

Sol led Elebena to the study and gave her the last magic core.

After getting the magic core, Elebena left immediately: "I want to go back to recuperate. All the things I want are on that list. I must find at least three of them within this year. The safety of this territory depends on you gone."

As she said that, she patted Sol's shoulder meaningfully: "You choose the way you want to go."

Sol secretly wiped his sweat, and his tone sounded like a mafia boss admonishing his younger brother.

After Elebena left, Saul sat in the study, staring at his eyes and thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong.He didn't take any substantive actions against Elebena, and he obediently offered the three magic cores he stole from her.

But now she has abducted 10,000+ gold coins, not to mention the risk of angering the Adventurer's Guild, and inexplicably agreed to find those precious items for her, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you have fallen into the trap of this dragon.

While feeling depressed, Marlene walked in with a tray of food: "Brother Sol, are you hungry?"

Woooooo...my Marlene is better.When she put the food on the table, Sol pulled her over and hugged her gently: "I've been away these days, do you miss me?"

Marlene's small face flushed instantly: "You have been away for so long, the town is attacked by monsters every day, I am so scared, I pray every day that Brother Saul will come back soon."

Sol was very moved, and seeing Marlene's gradually growing body, which was slightly undulating, couldn't help pinching her face lightly: "Now I'm back, are you happy?"

Hey, little girl, grow up faster, and grow up to serve you brother Sol, I will teach you many happy things.

Just as Sol's lust was raging and Marlene was infinitely shy, the relationship between the two was heating up.The door of the study was slammed open, and Jessica walked in hastily: "Lord, I want you to grant me 5000 gold coins, and I want to rebuild the town outside... Huh? What are you doing?"

Hugging Marlene in his arms, with one arm around her slender waist and the other on her face, Saul looked at Jessica in amazement.

After a while, a drop of sweat fell from his forehead.

"Wow, listen to my explanation, things are not what you think!"

"To shut up!"

************************************************** ************************************
An hour later, Sol and Reed met in the study.

"How, can these things be bought?" Saul asked Reed while rubbing his bruised eyes with medicinal wine.

Holding Elebena's list, Reed read it silently for a while, finally sighed, and gently put down the list.

"What's the matter, talk?" Saul asked strangely.

Reed lowered his head and rubbed the bridge of his nose: "I was wondering, are you crazy, my lord?"

"Why do you say that?"

Knocking on the table with his fingers, Reed raised his voice involuntarily: "Do you know the value of these things?"

Sol felt ominous, and he tentatively asked, "Very precious?"

Reed almost shouted: "It's not very precious, it's very, very, very, very, very precious! Everything on it is worth no less than the magic core of a top-level monster. If they are still there, maybe they can be exchanged for two if they are lucky. But to hear that you've given them all, it's all hopeless."

Saul was furious: Well, Elebena, you really gave me a good job, isn't this forcing me to die!

But his own life and the safety of Lovell as a whole were at stake, so Sol had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "There's really nothing we can do?"

Reed sighed: "It's not impossible at all. You may be able to find a few pieces in the underground black market in Freetown, but with your financial resources, you'd better give up this idea. I'm very surprised, why do you insist on getting these Is something wrong? You must know that this is simply beyond your ability."

This was the second time he had heard the name of the Freetown black market. Saul asked curiously, and only then did he know that the Freetown black market was the largest underground commodity trading market in the entire Mojna.All kinds of precious, unknown, and shady precious items are its trading objects.

Freetown regularly hosts several trade fairs each year, when buyers from across the continent flock to them, and it's almost semi-public.There is no lack of buyers from the royal families of various countries, so although many of its trading products are prohibited items, and even some royal treasures, it can still grow bigger and bigger.

It is rumored that the background of the Freetown black market is quite complicated. The main body is the four major joint chambers of commerce in the mainland. The adventurer and mage guilds are also inextricably linked to him. It is even rumored that the royal family is also involved.Make its influence in the underground world unmatched.

There is a saying in the black market in Freetown: All grievances please go away, there are only buyers and sellers here.

"Is it an underground black market?" Sol murmured, "Do you want me to go to the capital?"

Reed unceremoniously poured cold water on him: "Without the king's call, the lord is forbidden to go to the capital. Besides, with your little financial resources, you don't even have the qualifications to enter the black market."

"Wow, my God, this is killing me!" Sol yelled, holding his head.

Why is it that other people come to another world and get along so well, but only myself has a bleak future?
When he was at his wit's end, Vince suddenly rushed in excitedly: "Master, the kingdom memorial ceremony is about to begin. This is the king's convening document."

"Sacrifice? What is that?" Monk Suo Erzhang was puzzled.

Vince looked at him in astonishment: "Please don't be kidding, of course it is the founding ceremony."

Founding Memorial?Sol suddenly remembered that he had seen relevant records when he was reading a book about the Kingdom of Dinar.It is said that the Kingdom of Dinar was the first country built by the gods on the continent of Mojna, and it took seven days before and after.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Dinar will hold a grand founding ceremony every seven years to commemorate the gift of the gods. Each ceremony lasts for seven days and is the most grand festival in the kingdom.During the memorial ceremony, all countries will send representatives to participate, including intelligent races such as the orc empire, dwarves and elves.And the lord of the kingdom must also go to the capital to show his loyalty to the king.

Looking at the king's convening document in his hand, Sol felt absurd.Not so coincidental, is it?Just now we talked about the freetown black market in the royal capital, and the founding ceremony came.

Reid had already cheered: "I forgot, this year happens to be the seventh year. On such a grand day, the freetown black market will definitely hold a trade fair, and it will be much grander than before. Maybe all the precious commodities in the whole continent will be sold." Collected there, it is definitely not difficult to find everything on this list."

Of course, he didn't forget to hit Saul at the end: "Of course, even if the lord goes, it won't help."

Ignoring Reed's teasing, Sol began to think quickly in his mind: It seems that this is my only chance, but where can I find the capital?It seems that I have to visit that petty air dragon again. I am also doing things for her anyway, so I should be able to give me something, right?

As he spoke, he asked Vince, "When will the memorial ceremony begin?"

Vince said: "September, time is running out, the young master must prepare to leave as soon as possible."

Nodding, Sol ordered: "Get Jessica, we have to meet an old friend before we leave."

****************************************************************************************
At the same time, somewhere in the capital.

In the closed room, five old men with white beard and hair sat behind a round table, and Ruret and the official from the Ferry City Adventurer's Guild stood respectfully in front of them.

"How is the investigation going?" one of the old men asked.

The official bowed his head in awe: "The other party is very cunning. They have been completely lost after tracking them to the edge of Silvo Plain. There is evidence that they have entered the relic forest. We have checked all the nobles on the mainland, and there is no Debrogat surname. It appears they are using pseudonyms."

Another old man snorted coldly: "We actually offended the Adventurer's Guild, this time we lost all face, and we will find out these liars at all costs."

As he spoke, he asked Rulert: "Rurett, what do you think?"

Luret bowed his head and said: "I still stick to my point of view, there must be some misunderstanding. With Elebena's strength, it is impossible to cheat for 10,000+ gold coins, not to mention there is no need to use two top magic cores as bait. "

The old man waved his hand: "Forget it, you don't need to participate in this matter anymore. The Kingdom Sacrifice is about to begin. The scale of the Freetown black market this time will be the largest in history. The guild attaches great importance to it and plans to take a batch of treasures that have been treasured for many years." Participate in the transaction. Your team should stay in the capital and take charge of the security work."

At the same time, another old man said to the official: "You continue to be responsible for the investigation. If there is no result within three months, you should be very clear about the consequences."

"Yes." The official bowed his head deeply, his face covered in cold sweat.

"Okay, let's go down." The old man signaled the two to back down.

After they left, an old man said: "Enter the relic forest? Is this group of people related to the things in there?"

Another old man shook his head: "It's hard to say now."

"Anyway, we're going to pick up the pace."

"So, the occupation of Lowell Territory..."

The voice gradually became low and became inaudible.
