"Among the twelve earls, who has the least servants?" Dean looked straight ahead, but asked Saul. He had sent invitations to the twelve earls, but there was no reply. In the past three days, only a few small nobles had come to seek refuge with him. They also asked to be promoted to nobility and be rewarded with land. Dean was too lazy to pay attention to them. He let Saul temporarily settle in a hotel near the palace.
"The least servants?" Saul was surprised. He didn't expect Dean to ask such a strange question. He already knew what Dean was going to do, but what did it have to do with the number of servants? He couldn't figure it out, so he said: "Your highness, as far as I know, Count Ximing has the least servants. Count Ximing is eccentric and doesn't like to contact people. He rarely attends the banquets between nobles. Even the banquets held by the royal family are often absent. In addition to him, there is only one daughter left in his family. He doesn't have many children..."
Saul was startled. He suddenly realized the purpose of Dean's question.
There were not many servants in the family. Did Dean want to choose an earl with a small family?
He glanced at Dudian, but only saw the side of his face. It was extraordinarily indifferent. There was no feeling of human feelings. There was an illusion in his heart. But soon he thought of Earl Ziming. Although this person was eccentric, but he was also a famous infatuated earl. His wife died early, leaving only a daughter. He didn't marry for the rest of his life, which led to sparse family connections.
His wife was an ordinary singer. Count Ximing ignored the rumors and slander to pursue his wife. It became a story of bards singing about him. Later, the story of him sacrificing his virginity for his wife was widely spread. He was a pitiful person. Was he going to be the first to die?
He sighed in his heart and didn't say anything. Who wouldn't be pitiful in the face of death?
"Ximing..." Dean whispered. He remembered the name. Two wings quickly grew out from the gap of the Splitter's armor. He soared into the sky and swept away.
Half an hour later, Dean arrived at a big city not far from the King's city. He saw a white flower flag on the towering wall. It was a flower called 'Snow Bird'. It represented the Count of Ximen's family.
Looking down from above, the city was not as dilapidated as the other disaster cities. It was not affected by the zombies.
Dean flew into the city. Not long after, two figures suddenly flew in front of him. Both of them had strange wings on their backs. One was a huge butterfly wing, and the other's wings were vibrating very fast. The thin wings were transparent, and there were silver lines on the wings. It looked like a silver line was dancing behind them.
"May I ask who you are?" The mature woman with butterfly wings carefully asked Dean.
Dean could see at a glance that the heat source of the two men was just a limitless being, but the magic marks were rare. He didn't slow down and spat out a word: "Get lost!"
Both of their faces changed. The mature woman held back her anger and said: "This is the territory of Earl Ximing. If you want to visit, please tell us your name. We will …" She saw that Dean didn't slow down. Instead, he exuded an amazing murderous aura. She was scared and hurriedly moved sideways to avoid him.
Whoosh!
Dean shuttled between the two of them.
The two reacted after seeing Dean's back. They knew that they had dereliction of duty. They looked at each other and immediately chased after him.
Although they were chasing, they felt as if they were flying backward. The distance between them and Dean's back was getting farther and farther.
A moment later, Dean came to a castle in the west of the city center. Ten miles around the castle were bustling streets with pedestrians shuttling back and forth. However, there were vast fields and green hills near the castle, as well as large orchards and manors. In addition, there was a large horse farm behind the castle. On the green grass, there were several workers as small as ants leading the horses. They were strolling on the grass.
Dean narrowed his eyes as he saw this scene. If it wasn't for the flag above the castle, he would hardly believe that this was the place where the Earl lived. It was too simple. Although the price of the land in this area and the huge area of the horse farm required immeasurable wealth, but it gave people a very primitive feeling. It was completely different from the golden zone where other aristocrats lived.
Dean swooped down and landed in front of the castle's main entrance.
"Who is it?!"
"Who is it? Bold!"
The guards behind the gate were shocked by Dean who fell from the sky and immediately shouted angrily.
Dean reached out and pushed the iron gate. The lock made a creaking sound and the iron gate broke from the middle. He looked at the stunned guards behind the gate and said: "Is this Earl Ziming's castle?"
Several guards reacted and suddenly became angry. They pulled out their swords and surrounded Dean. The reason why they were stunned was not because of Dean's casual display of power. After all, such power could be achieved by ordinary limiters. They just didn't expect that someone would dare to break into this place without saying a word. Even the big shots they knew wouldn't do this!
"You dare to break into the Earl's castle? You're courting death! Take him down!"
"Smelly boy, you're courting death!"
Several people immediately besieged Dean.
Dean frowned slightly and walked forward. The magic wings on his back flickered slightly, and a shadow flashed by. The bodies of the guards who surrounded him froze in place, and then scattered into several pieces, their organs scattered on the ground.
Dean walked along the gravel path to the front of the castle. Along the way, some maids came out with quilts to dry. Seeing Dean's strange dress, they were curious and looked at him.
"The defense is so weak …" Dean's eyes penetrated the entire castle and found that there was only one Pioneer level heat source inside. Most of the rest were Hunters, and there were only 20 limiters. This was not the power that an earl should have, but it was in line with his screening criteria.
"Who is it?!"
Several heavily armored knights rushed out of the castle and stared at Dean with vigilance. They were the first to find the abnormality at the door.
"I want to see Ziming," Dean said.
"If you want to visit the Earl, you need to get his invitation, or wait for us to inform you!" Several knights looked at Dean coldly. If they didn't feel that Dean's strength was extraordinary, they would have taken him down directly.
Dean noticed that the only Pioneer in the castle also noticed the movement here and rushed over. He didn't immediately make a move, but waited quietly.
Several knights saw that Dean didn't say a word, frowned, and their faces became more and more unkind. They slowly stepped forward.
Whoosh!
The door of the castle was suddenly blown open by the wind. An old man in a white robe floated out and landed in front of several knights. He looked up and down at Dean, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. "You are?"
Several knights behind him didn't expect to alarm the old man. When they saw that he actually used honorifics to Dean, they were shocked and aghast.
"Are you the only Pioneer here?" Dean looked at the old man in front of him and asked casually.
The old man's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a smile, "I'm usually alone. I don't know who you are. How come I have never seen you?"
Dean said indifferently, "You haven't seen me, but you should have heard of me. Three days ago, my invitation letter was sent to your earl, inviting him to attend my inauguration ceremony. Why hasn't he replied so far?"
The old man was startled and suddenly froze, "You, you are …"
"Why, didn't he tell you about this?" Dean looked at him.
The old man reacted and hurriedly said, "No, no, the earl has mentioned this to me, but the earl has been ill recently, so it's inconvenient for him to attend. Please forgive me." As he spoke, cold sweat seeped out of his wrinkled face.
