Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 78 Unexplainable Release

Stannis felt like his heart was about to jump out, because he felt the way the confused girl in front of him looked at him.

how old is she 20 years old?Anyway, Stannis couldn't see the traces of time on her childlike and innocent face, and couldn't help but lament the imperial army's eclectic promotion of talents, and she became a major at such a young age.However, he secretly thought that such a beautiful but clumsy woman must be able to occupy a high position because of an ulterior transaction behind her.

wrong!I was scared to death just now, why start gossiping now?Stannis shook his head quickly, trying to wake himself up.

But he found that Sharaki was still looking at him in the original posture.

Stannis felt embarrassed when she saw it, and it was impossible to kill or cut him, but what's the matter with staring at himself with big innocent eyes like this?
"You look a little handsome. You deserve to be a handsome king. No wonder so many girls loved you wholeheartedly at that time."

The woman suddenly said this out of nowhere.

Stannis was confused by the illogical statement, "Did you say I was handsome in that letter?"

"Ha!" Xia Laqi was startled, she didn't expect that she would say her true thoughts unconsciously.

She fanned her hot face with her hands to cool down, and at the same time spoke quickly to cover up her gaffe.

"Haha, this letter says that Sir Justin is an absolutely reliable person, and you will never fail to pay coins because you want to evade taxes. On this point, His Excellency Bernard, the special envoy of the Empire, can use his personality to do it for you." guarantee."

The old man who cheated himself really said so, Stannis obviously didn't believe it, maybe he didn't do it on purpose to make himself unguarded, and then cheated himself to the end.

"And he also mentioned that because you need to guard the large forests on the eastern frontier and do your due diligence, the empire is very satisfied, and will deduct all future taxes and fees as encouragement."

This was beyond the lord's expectation, and his position began to waver. Could it be that Uncle Xiao Enbin really wanted to help him?
"Since the imperial envoys have said so, we have no right to punish you. Now you are free, Sir Justin."

After Shalaqi finished speaking, he stood up and stretched out his hand to him.

Stannis didn't expect that he would be released so soon. Not only would he not have to be locked up in a dark room, but it would also be equivalent to a windfall. Of course, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Where, where, I should do my best to serve the empire. This is what I should do." Stannis hurriedly held the woman's hand tightly, but it felt as hard as touching a stone. The woman's snow-white hand was covered with calluses.

But he can't handle that much anymore.He just kept shaking the major's hand in excitement.

"Oh, it hurts because of you, do you want me to send you out?" Shalaqi also looked very happy, making one have to doubt her position.

"No, no, I'll just go out alone." Stannis waved his hands, "Besides, you don't have any clothes on, so it's not good to go out like this."

This sentence reminded the woman, and she stuck out her tongue habitually, "Then I won't send you off, and I still have to take a bath?"

When he went out, he found that Lieutenant Vlady outside the door looked at him a lot more kindly.

Stannis went down the stairs, and when he walked out of the gate, he happened to meet a grizzled old man who was escorted out of the small black room.

"Oh, don't push me, an old man. If you fall down, you support me!" The old man seemed to have a bit of a temper.

But he judged from this voice alone that this guy was the crazy mage who was shut next to him just now, and pretended to be a tax-debt lord talking nonsense so scared that he almost peed his pants!

Unexpectedly, they are already old, and they still take pleasure in playing with others. It is really the best case of bad guys getting old.

Stannis glared at him, after all, he couldn't rush up and beat him to relieve his anger, otherwise, even if he was a lord, the compensation alone would be enough to ruin his family.

The old man noticed him too, because only someone he was teasing would look at him like that, and he looked happy, waving his hands and laughing with no teeth on his gums.

"Looks like you've paid all your taxes, I wish you a long life, my lord, haha!"

The thumb of the mad mage waving at him was covered with a black metal ring engraved with a flame-like pattern. Stannis remembered that he had seen this kind of ring somewhere, but he just couldn't remember what happened. at what time.

The guards behind him shoved him roughly, leaving Stannis sulking alone.

But after getting angry, you have to think about how to go back.

"I'll give you a horse." A familiar voice came from behind, he turned around, and Shalaqi's sunny smiling face came into his eyes, and she seemed to have changed clothes.

"How can this be possible." He still pretended to be polite.

The major shook his head, "We were also at fault in this matter. We arrested you for no apparent reason, and put you in a cell for half a day, so we should have a horse with you."

Now that the other party has said so, Stannis is not easy to refuse, in fact, he wants the other party to send him back, because he doesn't know the way...

"Should I send someone to take you back, but you should remember how to get back, it's really hard for people to decide!" Shalaqi began to be confused again.

"No, no, I can just ride back by myself." Stannis quickly refused. If a lord doesn't even know the way back to his own territory, then he deserves to be exposed as a traverser.

Of course Sharaki didn't know what he was thinking, "Oh, then I won't send you off, you just need to go to the stable and tell the soldier watching the horse that I sent you to fetch the horse, and he will know what to do next gone."

"By the way, didn't you just want to take a shower, why did you get dressed again?" Stannis was curious.

The woman waved her hand helplessly, "No way, just now Lieutenant Vladi came to report, and more than a dozen sheep disappeared around. Every year around this time, a lot of livestock disappear inexplicably, but it is always impossible to find out who the black hand is. It's really distressing."

It would be difficult for such a confused woman to be a detective, Stannis just thought in his heart, but he said: "Then I won't bother you, you can go about your own business."

"Oh, then take care of yourself on the road."

After speaking, she turned and returned to the hall.

Such an interesting girl, I don't know if I can see you next time.Stannis thought as he walked toward the stables.
