"Give this to Old Fulin. Tell him to send people to recover the land." Dean threw the contract to Kroen: "Also send a letter to the Burong family. Don't let me hear the words' Burong family 'again. Otherwise I'll make them completely disappear from the commercial district!"
Kroen took the contract. He didn't dare to ask more but bowed his head.
Dean continued to read the book after Kroen left.
"Holy Church, military … … Their foundation should be in the inner wall. I have to know their details if I want to defeat them." Dean's eyes lit up: "Inner wall … … It's time to take a look."
Dean had just finished his lunch when he heard the sound of a carriage coming from outside the manor. Dean looked through the window and saw that it was his family's carriage. At this time, the door of the carriage was pushed open. Nicholas's figure slowly came down from the carriage. He turned around and made a gentleman's invitation gesture. Several figures jumped down from the carriage.
Dean stood up and strode towards the door.
Gwyneth who was next to him wasn't scared by his sudden movement. She put down the knife and followed behind Dean like a shadow. She was waiting for him at the door.
"Dean!!"
A few figures jumped down from the carriage. One of them was a burly teenager. He was overjoyed when he saw Dean. He shouted from afar and ran towards him.
Dean smiled.
The burly teenager threw himself into Dean's arms and gave him a big hug.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown a lot." Dean loosened his hand and hammered the teenager's chest. The burly teenager was his best friend from the scavenger training, Mason.
Mason grinned and said: "I have heard that you are now a very powerful master. The newspapers are full of news about you every day. Among us brothers, you are the best. Not only have you become a master but you are also a Golden Knight of the Knight's Hall. I heard that a Golden Knight is much more powerful than a hunter. Even a senior hunter of a consortium may not be able to beat a Golden Knight." Mason grinned and said: "How can it be compared to your changes? I have heard that you are now a very powerful master.
Dean shook his head: "I'm a golden knight. There's a difference between an 'honorary' knight and a real golden knight. In short, there's a difference between me and a real golden knight."
"There are so many crooked things. I want to know whether an honorary knight is powerful or not?"
"Of course." Dean laughed.
Gwyneth looked at the back of the teenager in front of her. There was a trace of surprise in her eyes. She had followed Dean for a long time. She knew that the latter paid great attention to his identity and manners. She didn't expect him to say such vulgar words.
"Mason, you bastard! How can you run so fast!" A shout came from behind.
Dean and Macon looked over and saw a handsome teenager supporting a plain-dressed teenager with an ordinary face. They were coming together.
"Zach … Sham?" Dean was startled. Although a few years had passed and they had grown a lot, but there was still the shadow of their childhood. However, he noticed that Sham's leg … … was broken? Moreover, it was sawed off from the thigh, and the lower half did not have a prosthesis.
"Dean!" Zach laughed as he helped Sham to come over.
Sham saw that Dean was wearing simple but luxurious clothes. There was a bit of shame on his face. He couldn't help but say: "Dean is a master of the Temple and a golden knight. We can't call him Dean anymore."
Zach responded: "Yes, yes. Let's call him master Dean. What do you think?"
Mason looked at the two: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's awkward. Dean is called Dean. Why are you calling him like an outsider? Am I right, Dean?"
Dean sobered up: "Whatever you want to call me. Sham, what happened to your leg?"
"This …" Zach said: "We were attacked by a monster when we were scavenging. Sham's leg was bitten and infected with a highly toxic poison. We couldn't detoxify it so we cut off his leg and saved his life."
The smile on Sham's face was somewhat forced as he said: "It's good to be cut off. I have no value. I was fired by the consortium, but I can go back to my hometown to help my father take care of the pub. Although I haven't done anything, but at least my physique is a bit stronger than ordinary people. In my area, I'm known as the one-legged king."
Macon laughed and said: "Then if we go, wouldn't we be the king of legs?"
Sham snappily said: "I'll make you a ham king."
Zach clapped his hands: "I agree."
Dean smiled. After a few years, they were still as close as before. However, Sham seemed to have changed. In his mind, although he could trust all three of them, but there were differences. Mason was the one he trusted the most, followed by Sham. His mind was flexible, but he was honest. Zach was a bit irritable and selfish. Although he had nothing to say to them, but to outsiders he was the type of person who would not help others. Everything was based on his own interests.
Although he has now become such a person, but in the beginning, he preferred to talk to Sham. But this time, his feeling has changed. Zach seems to have become a lot more generous. Mason is still as heartless as before. But Sham seems to be a lot more sophisticated, hiding some things in his heart.
Perhaps this was the reason why he was fired by the consortium. It was inevitable that things would become complicated if he came into contact with people outside the pub.
Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart. However, when he thought of how they had helped each other during training and how they had saved each other during the trial, his heart still felt warm. He said, "Let's go in first. From today onwards, you will follow me. What do you think?"
Macon laughed: "When we came here, I heard the old man say that I didn't want to stay in that broken consortium for a long time. He didn't see us as human beings. Fortunately, you helped us get out of the sea of suffering."
"Well." Zach's smile suddenly became a bit low as he nodded.
Sham slightly bowed his head and didn't speak.
Dean looked at the three of them. He didn't need to think to know how much they had suffered in the past few years. The scavengers' work was no different from slaves. They were sent to dangerous places, but they didn't even have the right to know about the 'monsters'. The only thing they knew was how to pick up resources, how to transport them, how to stay outside the giant wall for a long time, and how to survive without food.
Once they encountered the monsters, they would die.
However, it was also because of this that the consumption of resources to cultivate scavengers was much lower than that of hunters, and the time spent was also shorter.
"Hey, Mr … Dean? Or Master? "At this time, a light voice came.
Dean's eyes lit up: "Glenn, long time no see."
"It hasn't been that long. Didn't I try to assassinate you last time?" Glenn giggled.
Dean smiled: "It's all in the past. Since you are willing to come today, then you are one of us."
Glenn blinked her eyes and said, "I won't disturb your reunion. I'll go in first."
"I'll go in too." A youth behind Glenn laughed.
Dean had long noticed him. He knew that he was a senior hunter of Mellon consortium. He was a knight and a very strong existence. He was on par with Glenn and his melee combat ability was not inferior to Sergei.
"Come in. The wind is strong at the door." Dean turned back to the hall.
Everyone followed in.
Mason and the other two looked around in surprise. It was the first time they entered the castle of an aristocrat. They didn't expect to see such a scene.
Glenn and the youth were also looking around in surprise. They didn't expect that Dean would live in such a simple castle despite his high status.
Dean asked everyone to sit down. He told Gwyneth to cook so there was no need to protect him.
"Master, there is someone from the Brandon family outside the manor." At this time, Kroen ran in from outside.
Glenn and the youth's eyes lit up. The Brandon family had a small reputation among the upper nobles. They had almost the same status as the Milan family of the Mellon consortium.
Dean smiled: "Tell them I'm not free. I won't see them."
"Alright, master." Kroen turned and ran away.
Glenn glanced at Dean: "The Brandon family seems to be part of the Scott consortium. Are you going to cooperate with the Scott consortium?"
Dean shook his head.
It didn't take long for Kroen to run back into the hall: "Master, he said that he wanted an answer about the 'tooth crab' yesterday."
"Answer?" Dean indifferently said: "Throw him out."
"Uh …" Kroen was stunned. He saw that Dean wasn't joking. He turned around and ran away.
…
…
"What? You were driven out?" Cage looked at his bodyguard in shock. "He was kicked out by his butler before he even saw him? Didn't you report your name? "
"I did but his butler said he wasn't free. He didn't want to see me. Then he drove me out." The youth replied in an aggrieved tone.
"Bastard!" Cage slammed his palm on the table and glared angrily, "You robbed my food at my banquet. You clearly want to rob the property of my Brandon Family, and now you want to expel my people? Damn you! You're just a brat who hasn't even grown hair yet. What bullsh * t master! You've just obtained a bit of power and you want to go to heaven!"
The youth was scared. He bowed his head and didn't speak.
"Prepare the car. I'm going to the Chai family." Cage said in an angry voice.
The young attendant felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and he responded before turning around and running away.
