In the early morning, a melodious eagle cry sounded in the sky above Purple Roland Harbor. It was the cry of the Gale Eagle. The Gale Eagle was a specialty of the Bloodstone Highlands. They had great endurance and were mostly used for communication after being domesticated. A shiny Gale Eagle swooped down from the sky, swept across the city, and finally landed on the rooftop of the main building of Roger's paradise.
Jeralf stretched out his hand and let the Gale Eagle rest on his wrist. Jeralf pulled out a piece of paper from the tube beside the eagle's leg and casually threw it into the sky. The Gale Eagle let out a cheerful cry and flew into the sky to grab the raw meat. That was its reward.
A moment later, the note was delivered to Roger's desk.
After reading the contents of the note, Roger revealed a faint smile. Jeralf looked at him strangely, but did not ask. He knew very well that as a guard, his duty was not to get to the bottom of his master's affairs.
"That guy Maud asked me for help." Roger crumpled the note into a ball and threw it into the trash can beside him. "He wants us to lend him the slave-catching corps."
Jeralf was stunned. This was something that had never happened before. Storm City was also a pretty well-run city on the border. Maud secretly funded Dick in the Bloodstone Wilderness and worked with Roger in Purple Roland Harbor. He had almost single-handedly grasped the interests of more than half of the border. After many years of operation, Storm City was strong. Under the banner of the Raging Thunder Knight Regiment and the Gale Infantry Regiment, there were basically around a thousand soldiers serving all year round.
This was a huge military force, which shocked bandits like Dick and slave merchants like Roger.
But now, Storm City actually wanted to borrow troops from Roger?
"Looks like our friend has done a good job. I heard that Mo De was planning to take down Sur City not long ago. Now, it seems that he should have suffered a huge loss and lost a lot of men. Otherwise, he wouldn't have borrowed troops from me and prepared to fight back. "
Jeralf lowered his head and said, "Should we prepare?"
"No need, continue to watch from the sidelines. Mo De's appetite has been too big these years, and he has gradually forgotten that we are working together. If that brat can kill him, there's no harm in changing partners. " Roger thought for a moment, then wrote a note and handed it to Jeralf. "Send this message back in three days."
"I understand."
It was also early in the morning, and a strange smell was wafting out of Allen's house in Sur City. There was a faint fragrance, but it was mixed with other smells, so it became a strange smell. Those who smelled this strange odor subconsciously left the main hall, as if there was an ancient beast hibernating in the hall.
Allen frowned as he looked at the strange thing in front of him. He looked up at Lucy and said, "Are you sure this is a cake?"
"Why not?" Lucy put her hands on her hips and said, "I baked this early in the morning. I used honey, egg yolk, flour, and a variety of secret ingredients to make this … cake!"
Allen extended his finger doubtfully, lightly scraping against this completely shapeless clump-like object. Then, he placed it in his mouth and tasted it.
"How is it?" Lucy looked at him excitedly.
As if he had licked venom, Allen's face turned green. In the next moment, he had already run to the toilet. Not long after, the sound of vomiting could be heard.
Adele, who was flipping through a book of poems, shook her head and said, "Don't make strange things to harm people if you don't have the talent to cook."
"Is it that bad?" Lucy tore off a small piece and threw it into her mouth.
Then there was another person in the toilet.
It wasn't until he drank the fresh milk that Allen felt his stomach gradually relax. As for the poison-like "cake", it had already been thrown into the trash can. Her Highness the Empress, who had suffered a heavy blow, lay listlessly on the sand. A moment later, she jumped up unwillingly and shouted, "I can even make a level three special bomb. How can I not deal with a mere piece of cake?"
"Food and ammunition are two different things, okay?" Adele had always been happy to hit Lucy.
"What's the difference between something made with a recipe?"
"Alright, Lucy. As for the cake, let's talk about it later. " Allen put down his cup and said, "You said that there might be a Thames silver vein in Storm City?"
Lucy nodded and said, "Little Seven found the composition of Thames silver on their own silver coins. It shouldn't be wrong."
"If there really is such a thing, then we can't let Storm City go even more." Adele closed the book of poems and said, "Thames silver is a rare metal. High-grade magical weapons, the inner wall of the main cannon of the magical starship, the reactor stabilizer of the Magic Cube perpetual furnace, and so on all need this metal. At present, there are no veins of this kind of metal on Earth. We can only occasionally find and collect it from a colonial planet. If we don't, we'll have to buy it from them at a high price. "
She looked at Lucy.
Lucy spread out her hands and said, "In fact, Adahua Planet's production of Thames silver has been declining in recent years. Even our royal reserves are enough for us to use for at least a few hundred years. But this is far from enough. After all, it is a necessity for cosmic war. "
"Alright, I'll go to Storm City to take a look." Allen clapped his hands and said, "I can't just sit here and wait for Edward to move. I have to do something."
"Then I'll go too." Adele stood up.
"No, you and Lucy stay. I'm not going to fight. It's more convenient to be alone. "Allen stood up and said," Tell Edward I'll be away for a few days. As for Mo Gu's ransom, leave it to him. "
As Allen was about to walk out of the hall, Adele said indifferently, "I don't think you should trust him too much. That Maritan, I always think he has something else up his sleeve. "
Allen turned around and smiled, "Everyone has their own things and wants. Edward is no exception, as long as he doesn't do anything to harm us. Until then, I'll trust him. "
"If you can't even trust your companions, this kind of life …" Without saying anything else, Allen only laughed twice and left the hall.
After changing into casual clothes and carrying the saber sheath, Allen left the city alone. He rode his horse to the forest a kilometer away from Sur City. Allen dismounted and shouted into the depths of the forest, "Bai, I'm back!"
His voice echoed in the forest.
After shouting twice more, Allen leaned against a tree to rest. The warhorse was quietly eating grass beside him. After a while, the horse felt uneasy at first. It raised its head and looked into the depths of the forest, kicking its strong hooves. A rustling sound rang out in the forest, like the whispers of a devil. A faint might filled the forest, as if the entire forest was a kingdom of some existence.
The warhorse finally couldn't stand the fright and turned around to run away. Allen didn't chase after it. The old horse knew the way, and it would return to Sur City.
Standing up, Allen discovered that all kinds of snakes were constantly drilling out from all directions. These snakes stopped when they were seven or eight meters away from him. They coiled up and looked at Allen quietly. Not long after, a huge shadow appeared from the forest. Just that huge body gave off a heavy pressure. When two bright yellow lights lit up in the shadow, the pressure became even more intense.
The nearby snakes all stuck their bodies to the ground, afraid of offending the colossus. Allen looked straight at the shadows that were constantly pouring in. Suddenly, Bai's huge head popped out from behind a tree. It swam to Allen's side and stopped. It lowered its head and spat out the snake letter to lick Allen's face.
Allen patted its head and said, "Good fellow, I haven't seen you for a while. You've grown again."
Bai tilted his head and narrowed his eyes. He hissed a few more times at the snakes beside him, and the snakes immediately retreated. This fellow was becoming more and more like a king snake.
After the snakes retreated, Bai suddenly went back into the forest. Not long after, he swam back and threw a black-furred wild boar in his mouth at Allen's feet. The black boar trembled and didn't dare to move. Bai arched the wild boar with his head and looked at Allen.
Allen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Bai, I don't eat it."
Bai looked at Allen and then at the wild boar. In the end, he opened his mouth and swallowed the wild boar whole. Allen shook his head and said, "I'm relieved to see you so energetic. Bai, I'm going to leave for a few more days. I'll see you when I get back. "
Waving goodbye, Allen turned around. After taking a few steps, he saw Bai swimming over from behind. He arched his head and arched Allen onto his head. Allen smiled and said, "I have something to do. Stop playing and put me down."
Bai shook his head and hissed a few times.
Allen seemed to understand what it meant and tried to ask, "You want to go with me?"
Bai nodded.
"Alright, but you can't let anyone see you." Allen patted its head and pointed in the direction of Storm City. "Go that way."
The white snake raised its head and rushed forward. It was astonishingly fast as it swam. Allen was careless and almost threw it off. He hurriedly grabbed Bai's horn and stood on its head. The trees on both sides quickly retreated, and in the blink of an eye, they entered the countryside. The yellow-brown rocky ground retreated like a tide, and the strong wind blew Allen's head upside down. Standing on Bai's head and seeing the boundless wilderness on both sides, Allen felt that the world was so vast that he couldn't help but let out a clear roar.
He was in a carefree mood.
Just like that, Allen used the king snake to travel to the edge of Mo De's territory the next evening. If he were to ride a horse, he would only arrive tomorrow at the earliest. It could be seen how fast Bai was swimming.
At this moment, the sun was setting. Allen and the king snake appeared on a high slope and looked down. Twilight was gradually sinking. Smoke was rising from a small town at the foot of the hill. It was dinner time for every family. The town looked very peaceful, but the flag with the symbol of Storm City hanging on the bell tower was destined to have no fate with peace.
This was a town that belonged to Storm City.
