5. Not a prince but a sheriff
Lance did give birth to a good skin.
This handsome and handsome appearance often adds a lot of points to him, and also makes him a long-lasting hot topic in the circle of ladies in the Lords Castle. Needless to mention Lance's style-absorbing events, we mainly talk about the moment, he is still immersed in his demon lord system, not paying attention to a girl in the dark looking at him with longing.
For Lance, saving this girl was purely a whim. Heigang misunderstood his meaning without authorization. Secondly, Layla's outfit as a village girl could not arouse his interest. Her years of hard work and sluggish food made Layla look withered and thin, especially now that she is in trouble. Her face is covered with mud and her clothes are torn. It is really strange that Lance would look at such a poor girl from a family.
He just greeted him symbolically, and after confirming that Layla was a resident of Gulu Ridge, he stuffed her to Heigang and asked him to carry the girl back together. Then, Lance re-entered the ground dragon car and continued to study the system, without even asking why she broke into the woods late at night.
Layla felt like she was dreaming. She pinched her face, and the pain made her realize that all this was true. She touched the small bag on her waist, and the herbs she picked for her father were still there, which meant that her hard work tonight was finally rewarded.
It is naturally a happy thing to survive the disaster, but the girl who was in love couldn't help but look at the Dragon Car where Lance was and bit her lips gently.
All of this, Lance, who was sitting in the Earth Dragon Car, was naturally unaware of it, and what made him concentrate on it was still the newly obtained demon lord system today.
Just as Hei Steel rescued Layla, a prompt to complete the task appeared on his system panel.
【Task】Save the girl who accidentally entered the woods (complete)
Lord's reputation: +1
Reputation of the camp: Kindness + 1
System points: +1
Lance looked carefully at his attribute panel. The lord's level was still F, and the brackets behind it were still 0/100.
But he got a prompt:
【The system attributes are 1 point in total, is it used as an upgrade?】
Here, Lance was not in a hurry to choose yes. After all, 1 point is useless, and the number behind the lord level is 0/100.
"It seems that if I want to upgrade to the level one lord level, do I have to collect at least 100 attribute points?"
In other words, it means that you have to do another 99 tasks yourself. What a huge project... Or will the attribute points given by each task be different?
While thinking about this, Lance opened the [Task] panel again to check it. He found that except for this completed rescue of the girl who accidentally entered the woods, there were no other tasks displayed. It seems that the system upgrade is also a long way to go.
Fortunately, Lance is pretty good at patience.
When looking through the system, Lance heard the black steel outside the Earth Dragon car say to him: "Young Master, we have arrived at Gulu Ridge."
This time, Lance became energetic.
"Prepare a dragon for me."
Unlike the earth dragons that have good resistance to pulling carts, the riding dragons that are usually used for riding in the abyss are forward with both feet. Their forelimbs are degenerated and their hind limbs are strong. They look similar to the Cretaceous velociraptors and are extremely fast.
Heigang knew that this was his young master, who could no longer suppress his excitement and wanted to see his future territory with his own eyes.
Without saying much, he quickly asked the guard to bring a dragon to him.
The dragon had a saddle, and Lance skillfully flipped on the dragon's back while stepping on the grommet. Although he was a playboy, Lance was very good at riding. He didn't wait for the convoy behind him, and ran out on the dragon's riding reins. This section of the road was already very close to Gulu Ridge, and you could even see the continuous distant mountains at the end of the road. Lance just thought that he could see his future territory by taking a step closer.
At the end of this lengthy ramp, he stopped riding the dragon.
Heigang, behind him, led the convoy to follow. They saw Lance riding a dragon standing there motionless. Heigang tied the reins and slowly leaned forward. Sure enough, the scene he saw was as he thought.
To put it bluntly, Gululing is actually a county, and it is a small county town surrounded by mountains and a population of only 30,000. Moreover, because it is remote from the Lord Fort and the geographical location is not good, this kind of place is basically an area completely allowed to live in and out of the Lord Fort. But the problem is that the lord is still strict with the tax system, and he will not give you preferential treatment because of your poor land. Once you don’t pay the tax, it will cause a disaster. So you can imagine that this kind of place has tried your best to survive, and you can still expect what scale it can be.
Heigang couldn't help but sigh. He knew that Lance had hopes along the way, but this time, he must have been disappointed. After all, he had been living a good life in the Lords Fort, but now he was suddenly exiled to such a place, and his heart must be very different.
Heigang, thinking about this, couldn't help but say a few words of comfort, but when he turned his head and looked at Lance's sideways, he was stunned.
Young Master... is laughing?
Could it be that he laughed so much because he was too angry?
However, after Heigang followed Lance for so long, he realized that the smile on Lance's face was real.
"This place will be my territory from today. I no longer have to pretend to be smiling or flatter anyone."
He knew that Lance seemed to be glorious and unscrupulous in the Lord's Castle, but he knew more than anyone else that all his flashy life was based on his father's favor for him. Once the old lord dies, his elder brother will succeed him, and what awaits him will be more painful torture than death.
Don't talk about brotherhood, in places like the abyss, cruelty and conquest are the eternal themes.
When I came here, Lance finally got rid of the life of such a person as a slaughter. He no longer had to smile at anyone, nor did he pretend to be crazy and stupid like before, sucking a mouthful of the humid air in the darkness. Lance's heart was unprecedentedly comfortable.
This is the fragrance of freedom.
Although in front of him, this was still an extremely dilapidated county.
The population is small and the resources are not abundant, but Lance's heart is full of passion. He seems to have seen a tall building rising from the ground, and the majestic army walks by in neat steps. Every street is filled with active figures of vendors, his people's faces are filled with smiles, and then he shouts the voice of his lord.
"Young... Master?" Heigang couldn't help but call out lightly, because Lance next to him suddenly pulled the reins and rushed down the hillside with the riding dragon under his crotch.
"Young Master!" Hei Gang hurriedly turned around and shouted at the guard following behind him: "Come on!"
To be honest, the danger in Heigang's mouth does not only exist in the beasts in the dark. He was once a mercenary. Before he willingly followed Lance, Heigang also traveled around the world and lived a life of all kinds, so he naturally knew a lot.
Many times, killing people does not require oneself to do it, especially for those with identity. The boss of the Igusas family is upright and will definitely not deal with it if they want to attack Lance. There is no need to worry about it now, but Heigang felt that he had to be careful of the second child who was full of wisdom and had a good conspiracy.
On the way to remote counties like this, it is not uncommon to ambush a team of disguised as thieves and assassinate the target. Although this method seems old-fashioned, it is effective. Even if it is investigated later, it is impossible to investigate. Even if it catches the group of disguised prisoners, it will not be possible to ask any information, because they don’t know who the employer is, collect money and eliminate disasters for others.
Heigang had done similar things before, so he was very familiar with these routines. He tried his best to protect Lance's thoughtfulness along the way, but what he didn't expect was that when it was about to reach the end, Lance actually rushed out alone on a dragon. Although he arrived at the place, it still could not be ruled out. The assassination was ambushed at the finish line from the beginning, intending to launch a sneak attack while his party relaxed his vigilance.
When he thought of this, Heigang wanted to leave the convoy and guards behind and chase after him alone.
The speed of the dragon riding and the earth dragon showed a difference here. Lance, who was riding the dragon riding, roared like the wind. He followed the path that entered the county and galloped all the way.
Gulu Ridge at night is very quiet, but at this moment there are fires.
This is a search team spontaneously organized by mixed humans gathered at the intersection of the village. Layla's disappearance attracted the attention of the villagers, so some people who had a good relationship with Layla's family gathered spontaneously and searched everywhere.
"Hey, where did this girl go? Don't arrest Sir Leiwen's son." The person who spoke was a strong and simple middle-aged man, whose name was Bolun, and he could have some kinship with the Layla family.
The boy standing opposite him, about fifteen or sixteen years old, was his son Pock.
"Sir Raven's son is famously overly lewd, and he did harass Layla not long ago."
"Yes, but Layla's father rejected him. That bastard and son have harmed many young girls nearby... But maybe the other party feels soft, so it's just hard now." Boren sighed: "Hey, Layla's family is really pitiful. My father is seriously ill and can't get out of bed. His two younger siblings are still young, and the burden is on Layla. What a great girl. I originally planned to wait for you to get two of you two years older..."
Poke was shy when he heard his father say this, but he was more worried: "Father, if Layla is really caught..."
"Hey, even if we fight for this life, we will take back the people," Bolun's eyes also became serious. "The Leiwen family has done so many unreasonable things in Gululing. We have tolerated them enough. Since we have not made a fortune, then pick up the hatchet. At worst, we can fight with them!"
"Yeah." Poke's eyes were also stained with blood.
Just as they were trying to rush into the imposing mansion opposite to find people, suddenly a dragon came down from the mountain road and came like the wind.
"Father!"
"See it." Bolun nodded. Although he was middle-aged, he was an excellent hunter with an amazingly good vision.
However, the expression on his face was not relaxed. Riding a dragon is a symbol of identity in a sense. Ordinary civilians cannot afford such things.
Then, seeing clearly the huge convoy hanging behind the dragon, Poke said in surprise: "Father, that's a convoy."
Yes, but why did you come here at this time?
Who is the other party?
I guess a same question emerges in everyone's mind.
But what surprised them even more was still behind. The door of the manor that was closed just now suddenly opened and a group of people rushed out from inside. Boren and Poke were both shocked. They wanted to rush in just now, but now the other party opened the door by themselves, and the big belly and stupid jazz father and son were still there.
Sir Leiwen is a guy with a catfish's head. When he speaks, he always makes a sticky sound. His son is not much better than him. Not only does he have a belly that is rounder than him, but his face is full of ugly marks.
Sir Leiwen first glared at the group of mixed-type humans who were lowly in his eyes and shouted: "What are you untouchables doing around my doorstep?"
But before Bolun and the others could respond, he smiled as if he had changed his face, looking at the figure in front of him who was standing high above the dragon's back and looking down on the back.
