172. Crossroads of advance and retreat
The hesitation of the demon lord Relton continued until his old friend, Duke Talon, sent an envoy. Obviously, the duke had the same worries as him. The difference was that the old lord only cared about his young son Lancelot, while Duke Talonia had a pair of children and was there.
His old minister Ou Fan went to Gululing several times but failed to bring back these two young masters and young ladies. At other times, the Duke of Talonia might be able to be more patient, but now the situation in the kingdom is in turmoil and has caught up with such a fierce tide. How can Duke of Talonia be content to make it?
So Lord Relton also made up his mind and simply found his second son Jill, asking him to bring back Lance, Fiona and Victor no matter what. He arranged for him to accompany him, Ofan, the confidant of the Duke of Talonia, who was also a powerful man who has been famous for a long time. I believe that even with him, Jill would not do anything too outrageous.
"I know you have also received the call from Your Highness, but it's okay. I'm going to set off soon. I'll tell His Majesty what he said. I don't think he will hold you accountable, so hurry up and bring your brother and the two little guys from the Talonia family back, and there is no possibility of any mistakes!" Relton ordered.
Gill's face was not so handsome, but not so handsome, but there was not much expression on his face. He just asked: "My father, what if Lance refused to obey?"
Lord Relton was stunned and refused to obey? The boy was in a remote area and his life was in lingering. He probably wanted to fly back to the Lord's Fort immediately. But after thinking about it, the old lord realized that this might be Gil's hinting at the relationship between his eldest son and his younger son. Indeed, once Lord Relton sent troops to leave the Lord's Fort, his eldest son Victor would be the one who was in charge of this place. Lance might really resist back. Because there might be a glimmer of life in Gulu Ridge, after coming to the Lord's Fort, he would take the initiative to come to his door to seek death.
The old lord sighed, as if he was driving him out, waved his hand impatiently: "After you receive them, you don't have to return to the Lord's Fort, just bring them to the Demon King City. If that kid dares to get fucked, just break his legs and tie him to the dragon's back and bring him here for me."
"I understand." Jill replied.
"This time I'll give you a crazy demon, be careful." The old lord still revealed a sense of concern to his second son in his tone. Although Jill had nothing to do with this personal father for half of his growth, he always had a sense of alienation that seemed to be there, but at least it was his own blood, but there were more places like that woman. If the son hadn't been born by himself and knew to take care of him, just looking at this face that was more handsome than a woman, even the old lord himself was a little confused about his gender.
Forget it, Relton doesn't want to think about parent-child issues anymore. Anyway, this is the nature of the demon, and he has self-knowledge. As long as the three brothers are alive, they don't have to slaughter each other when they are alive, and when he dies, everything is left to fate to choose.
Finally, he glanced at Ou Fan beside him, the great swordsman Talonia trusted the most. He explained: "Ou Fan, please help me take care of me along the way."
Ou Fan still doesn't understand his role. Just kidding, even the 8th-level soldiers like the Mad Demon are sent out to your son. Adding an A-level swordsman is actually a situation where one is not much or less. You should know that the entire Abyss Kingdom has a total of ten levels. There are no top-level ten-level troops in the demon's army. The large demon army with the highest level nine-level combat power is raised. One hundred big demons can slaughter the city empty-handed, which is the strongest among the nine-level soldiers in the Abyss. The 8th-level crazy demon is the entire Leelton team with the second strongest combat power. All of them have been sent out. What else is there to worry about?
So the old lord asked him to monitor his son and restrain him became very obvious. Ou Fan sighed. This feeling of trusting his own son might be a kind of sadness, but he was not qualified to talk about others. The duke's children were not much better than the old lord's sons. They might be even more serious when it comes to cheating.
But no matter how you say it, since the lord has entrusted it, Ou Fan still has to express his opinion.
He immediately bowed and agreed to this matter.
Then, the old lord was impatient and sent Jill and Oufan out directly, asking them to prepare for it and get on the road. Oufan smiled bitterly, but Jill still looked so meticulous and serious.
After leaving the door, Ofan and Jill exchanged a few simple words and separated. Of course, they could not really go on the road as soon as they packed their bags. At least they needed some arrangements, and the time was set for tomorrow morning. As soon as they finished speaking, Jill said politely. The swordsman who had been following the Duke for a long time looked at Jill's back and couldn't help but shake his head, sighing that the lord's three sons had a completely different personality.
Jill, who was alone here, walked out of the lord's mansion and was about to go back to the residence. Unexpectedly, he met his elder brother Victor on the way. Jill stopped and said hello respectfully. According to past experience, doing this would be nothing but a cold look from the other party. However, Jill didn't care much, and he still greeted him every time he met, which made him look at his natural cultivation.
Unlike the casual demons, the vampire family has a rigorous order of seniority and inferiority, and has extremely high etiquette requirements. He has received this kind of education since childhood and is planning to wait for Victor to walk over before leaving. Unexpectedly, this self-respecting elder brother stopped abnormally today and even talked to him: "So, my father is planning to send you to save that boy Lance?"
"Yes." Jill nodded and admitted.
A hint of joke flashed across Victor's cold face: "You really have a special liking for him, but our little brother may not appreciate it, right? Also, does Lance really dare to come back? Don't forget that after my father left, I will be in charge of the Lord's Fort."
"Lance will be taken to Demon City by me." There was no intention of confrontation, but Jill still stated this fact in a plain manner.
Victor was stunned when he heard the news, but he quickly understood what the purpose of doing this was. He laughed angrily: "Very good, very good, I want to see when you and the old man can protect that boy, and one day when he falls into my hands, I will definitely fulfill my duties as a brother!"
He said this with gritted teeth and led the follower away, leaving Jill alone, looking at his back silently.
After a long time, Jill took another step, and in front of him was his residence.
The backyard of the Lord's Mansion actually retains the former residence of Jill and his mother, but Jill did not move in there, but instead asked for a separate house near the street near the Military Affairs Office and lived outside.
This house is not big and there is no praise. There is only one word to describe the design and decoration of the house, that is, it is simple. Just looking at this simple layout, you can't imagine that this is the place where the son of the lord lives. The most outrageous thing is that the second young master of the dignified lord castle actually refused the servants sent by the lord to serve and insisted on living alone.
No wonder there are so many rumors, because the second young master of the lord is too self-disciplined in life, as if he is hiding some ulterior motives. You know, it is not shameful to find a woman in the lord castle to find some fun. After all, a creature like a demon itself is a creature that follows desires. Even the old lord thinks it is understandable, so he never accuses Lance of his lord castle of flirting with the lord castle, nor does he blame Victor for his vigorous ambitions, because in his opinion, it is like a kind of instinct of the demon.
But this second son was too strange. The old lord thought that perhaps it was because Jill's mother wanted to take revenge on him and let his son completely eliminate the devil's nature, so that he could not get close to Jill. Because he was too different from Jill, even though Lance looked that way, he was more of a devil's nature in his bones, which was completely different from Jill.
At this point, the old lord undoubtedly could not change anything. What he could do was to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, and let him do whatever his son wanted.
He didn't want to get married, so he turned down the matchmakers who came to him. He didn't need servants, so he asked them to withdraw them all. Now Jill's house can be said to be his own territory, and no one will visit here - except for bats.
But Jill reached out and pushed open the door of his bedroom, and a bat hanging upside down from the ceiling flew towards him and stopped on his right wrist.
Jill was not used to this scene at all. This was a common communication method for vampires, so it was naturally not difficult for him. Jill took apart the notes tied to the bat's legs and started reading.
There is only a line of small words on it: "Don't trek into this muddy water."
Jill recognized this as his mother's handwriting, but he didn't know whether this time it was his mother's meaning or the collective will of the vampire. He let go of the bat and let it fly away from the window, flapping its wings and disappearing into the sky. Then he threw it casually, and the note in his hand came out of his hand, a blue flame rose, and finally turned into a wisp of ashes, falling into the trash of trash in the corner.
Jill slowly walked to the office table, which was one of the few pieces of furniture in his simple room. He opened the drawer, took out a small bell inside, shook it, and made a crisp sound like a memory.
His eyes gradually became deeper and he finally sighed intently.
The next day, whether it was Jill and Ofan's team, or the subordinates led by the old lord, they all drove towards different destinations on this day. They just followed the trajectory of fate and moved forward step by step. No one knew what kind of future there was ahead and was waiting for them.
