For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King (1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King) - Chapter 169
Chapter 169 Moulton
Stepping on the broken wooden boat, the sailors carefully carried the boxes forward.
The things in their hands are not too heavy, but because the ships under their feet are too old, they often can’t walk a few steps, and they step into the water through the rotten plank, causing a lot of shouting.
“You can find the Moon Magic City Embassy here later, there is a teleportation circle that leads directly to Moon Magic City. But the teleportation is charged according to the weight, and the fee is not low. But if it’s not urgent, I still recommend it. Hire a few wildebeest carriages to go there, although it may take an extra week or two, but the scenery of Awa on the way is still worth seeing…”
Watching the crates that were being brought ashore incessantly, Hobbs suggested to William.
At this time, the group of them had already crossed the ruined sea city formed by many ships and came to the shore.
“The embassies are closed now, and the teleportation spells to the Moon City or other cities cannot be used for the time being.”
The elf officer who had been on the ship for inspection before heard the suggestion that Hobbs made to William, and suddenly opened his mouth and said.
He and his team continued to be in charge of escorting or monitoring William and his party, so he was always by his side.
Hearing this sentence, William, who noticed something was wrong, immediately asked:
“Will the hired horse carriage be affected?”
The officer of the Blood Blade family nodded and said:
“The entire city of Ys is now temporarily closed, and all citizens are not allowed to leave the city.”
“What about us?”
“The same.”
Hearing this answer, the expression on William’s face changed slightly.
“Why didn’t you make it clear at the beginning?”
William looked at each other and asked with a serious expression.
“The closure of the city will not last for too long, at most a week or two. During this period, there will be special personnel to take care of your food and accommodation. As long as you cooperate with our work, you will have nothing to lose.”
“You did not answer my question.”
The other party sighed slightly and said:
“If I told you that at the beginning, would you just turn the bow and go back? Or do you think of some other way to get ashore?”
“So you chose to put us under house arrest in disguise like this?”
Hearing this, Hobbs couldn’t help asking.
The one-legged captain looked around before noticing that the members of the Bloodblade Guard Team had long been scattered around them, encircling them as if they were encircling them.
“I’ve been cooperating with you in the past, but it turned out to be like this to us? Business is not what you do…”
Hobbs looked at the Blood Blade Guards who were always alerting them, and said half annoyed and half helpless.
“We are soldiers, not businessmen.”
The other person’s short answer.
“So, where did those merchants go?”
William asked.
“Some were arrested, but most of them stayed at home quietly. Do you want to know why?”
It wasn’t the officer of the Blood Blade Guard who answered William’s question, but another high elf who appeared behind William and the others at some point.
He was wearing dark golden scale armor and a blood-colored dagger with a phoenix tail-shaped sword grid on his waist. Compared to an elves, his stature can be regarded as strong, and he feels that the proportions in all aspects are closer to those of humans. But his face still had the soft beauty unique to the high elves.
Several Blood Blade Guards immediately bowed their heads when they saw this person. They crossed their hands in the shape of wings, pressed them on their chests and gave a salute.
This is probably the unique etiquette of the high elves based on the worship of the Phoenix Sacred Fire – the Fire Phoenix Ritual. However, William seems to remember that this etiquette was abandoned after Awa entered the era of free city-states.
However, the materials that I checked are all antiques from more than a thousand years ago, and it is normal for some things to be inconsistent with the present.
“Lord Morton.”
After salute, the blood blade guards shouted in unison.
On the other hand, the other party waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be more polite, and then he looked at William and continued to ask:
“Are you very curious, why the members of the Windsong family didn’t wait for your arrival here as originally planned, why is it not the guard family ‘Scale Guard’ of Ys City guarding the dock, and why the city is so silent now ?”
As he said, he casually opened a wooden box beside him and took out a piece of rough ore the size of two fists. He slightly lifted the piece of ore and looked at the silver patterns that the Xiwei sunlight reflected on it, and couldn’t help but be amazed.
“Good thing… I heard that when you humans become partners, the woman’s family often needs to send property, right? What is that thing called… a dowry? It seems to be called a dowry?”
William didn’t answer the other party’s words, because he didn’t know who the person who suddenly appeared, nor what the other party was saying.
“Who is this person?”
William turned to Hobbs and asked.
“Those people just called him ‘Lord Morton’, so he should be Morton Blood Blade, the lord of Fenghuo City.”
Hobbes replied with wiggling lips.
But to be honest, Hobbs is not quite sure whether this person is the elven warrior captain who is said to have reached the level of the gods. After all, he, an ordinary smuggling ship, would never attract the attention of such a big boss.
“It can be seen that the master behind you is very generous. In order to win people’s hearts, he has prepared so many things just for the dowry.”
Multon said, threw the ore in his hand back into the box, and then patted the dust on his hand.
“What dowry… I sell these things.”
William couldn’t understand what the other party was talking about.
“Sell? I think it’s just buying, right? Use such a boatload of things to buy the support of Ys City and buy his loyalty.”
William felt a little inexplicable and asked:
“So who is the ‘he’ you’re talking about?”
Multon looked at William and asked with an expression in control of everything on his face:
“Are you wondering where the **** Ward Windsong went?”
“Who?”
William asked suspiciously.
The other party sneered, and his right hand slightly approached the sword at his waist.
“Stop playing this silly trick in front of me, it’s useless other than wasting each other’s time.”
Seeing that the elf named Moulton was unwilling to answer his question, William turned to look at Hobbs again and asked:
“Who is that what Ward Windsong?”
“The lord of Ys City.”
Hobbs replied in a low voice, sweating profusely.
The elf in front of him had already brought him a lot of pressure just by standing here. From the moment the opponent leaned his hand against the sword in his hand, an indescribable **** aura overflowed from the opponent’s body. It felt as if some kind of beast opened its **** mouth and roared at him full of stench, or the warm and viscous blood was wrapping itself, and then slowly cooled and condensed into a blood scab shell.
But why does the person beside him seem to be okay under this momentum?
William nodded at this answer, then turned to Moulton again and asked:
“Then what does he have to do with me? I don’t even know who he is.”
This time, Moulton was also slightly stunned. The confused expression on the other party’s face made him wonder if he had found the wrong person.
Multon looked at the officer who had been on the Whalebone earlier for inspection.
The man immediately lowered his head and said:
“Lord Morton, we are very sure that the other party is a believer of the Eighth Holy Spirit. And we also collected the residual reaction of the spell casting of the God-level illusion [Shadow of Reality] on the ship. And more importantly, the divine revelation of the empire that was canonized who was on their boat…that’s her.”
He said, pointing to Diana who had been following William. The latter’s body trembled slightly, and took small steps to hide behind William.
“Do you have anything else to defend?”
Confirmed by his capable subordinates, Moulton looked at William and asked.
“Wait a minute… You’ve made my mind a little confused. Is there a rule in Avazhou that the eighth Holy Spirit believers can’t come? Also, what does this have to do with the city lord of Yisu City?”
Can you explain to me what is going on?
William asked earnestly.
Judging from their previous conversations, it is estimated that there was some conflict between Yisu City and Fenghuo City. As a result, the forces of Fenghuo City are now taking over the entire Yisu City.
And the lord of Fenghuo City named Moulton in front of him, even in William’s time, he was considered a quasi-first-class master, and now he is definitely a first-line powerhouse. Before figuring out the other party’s position, William did not intend to have any direct conflict with the other party.
“What else do you not know? Oh, yes, you do have some things you don’t know…”
He said with a smug smile on his face, and then, like the villain in the eight o’clock theater, he began to explain to William the reason for his victory.
“The impeachment of Her Royal Highness Remedios was unsuccessful. We have evidence of Ward’s collusion with the Empire, especially with the Eighth Order. We have arrested him first and sent him to Moon City to await trial. Now Lei Her Royal Highness Medais is still the ruler of Ava Continent. And these cities that tried to overthrow her rule and turned to the Empire’s knees are now under our control.”
After saying that, he really laughed like an eight o’clock villain.
“Really?”
William asked in astonishment, and then he felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
Sure enough… the interior of Ava Island is not stable either.
When William looked up the information on Ava, he was a little worried that the system of the seven independent and free city-states would be hindered. Originally, Avazhou was completely crushed in terms of national strength and resources compared to the empire. If it could not be united under the same banner, then simply don’t fight this battle and simply surrender.
Now it seems that this is true.
On the other side, Moulton looked at the surprised and distressed expression on William’s face, and couldn’t help showing a smug smile on his face. After admiring the other party’s wonderful expression for a while, he immediately threw another bomb.
“By the way, I forgot to tell you. Don’t you imperial people always call Her Royal Highness Remedios the Shadow Queen? After the trial of your client Ward, she will truly be crowned as the mist king of Ava. At that time, what you scumbags of the empire will face will be the completely united Awa continent under the leadership of the queen. Remember the battle of drifting eight hundred years ago? That will be the end of your invasion this time. “
After throwing out this explosive news, Moulton paid attention to the change of expression on the other party’s face, and soon he could see the other party’s wonderful…
“Crack, snap, snap…”
In Moulton’s suspicious eyes, the messenger sent by the Empire’s Eighth Religion to make a secret deal with the surrendering faction applauded for himself.
What does he mean? Are you being sarcastic?
“Don’t you understand what I mean…”
“The only place I have doubts…”
William interrupted Moulton with a slightly complicated expression on his face.
“Why didn’t she do it sooner?”
sarcasm…this is definitely sarcasm…
He felt that even if Lady Remedios integrated the power of Avazhou earlier, she would not be able to stop the power of the Imperial Expeditionary Force in the end.
“Human, you will pay for your arrogance.”
Multon said in a very dangerous tone.
said, his hand was directly on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
At this moment, William also felt the sharpness soaked in blood. He felt that if he made a slight movement, he would immediately be pierced through the heart by the opponent’s sword.
Even William felt the extremely powerful pressure, not to mention the others beside him. Those sailors and crew members all slumped on the ground with their legs weak, panting hard.
At the same time, the sound of five sharp swords being unsheathed sounded at the same time, and the five Bloodblade Guards who had surrounded them all drew their swords, cutting off their group’s retreat.
William felt the unilateral tension of the opponent, and thought about it and said:
“I think you must have misunderstood something.”
“It’s just a misunderstanding now? Do you think it’s too late?”
Moulton said, and then he continued with a playful expression like a cat catching a mouse:
“Then tell me where is the misunderstanding?”
“I told that person earlier that I’m not from the Eighth Religion, or even from the Empire…”
William replied with consideration.
“Bullshit, you are not a member of the Eighth Religion, how could you use [Shadow of Reality] to summon a real dragon?”
Moulton retorted immediately.
He went on to warn:
“Don’t try to summon now, the distance between us is very close, as long as I feel the slightest magic fluctuation, this sword will drink the blood in your heart.”
“What a joke, that’s a black dragon, who can summon one…”
William didn’t have time to answer, and Hobbs on the side was the first to explain it for him.
“And being able to summon a black dragon doesn’t mean anything, right?”
William added innocently.
“Yeah, even if you can summon a black dragon, it doesn’t mean…”
Hobbes followed suit.
echoed halfway, he turned to look at William with some doubts.
“What do you say even if it can be summoned?”
