Faced with the information provided by Ladis, Fangzheng was only stunned for a second, then his expression returned to normal.
"So? So what? "
"Sigh, this ….."
Looking at Fangzheng's incomparably calm expression, Ladis did not know what to say.
"So what …. That's the chief magister of the Kingdom of Luganica, and the Earl of the border! That's not a simple matter! If this matter gets out of hand …. "
"But that doesn't prove that he's not a disciple of the Witch."
Fangzheng snorted.
"And if I remember correctly, that forest is still the territory of this kingdom, right? What's a chief magister of Luganica doing in another country? Did he report it to you? In any case, my attitude is very clear. I don't care who he is. He appeared at the scene of the Witch's attack on the village, and he even attacked me. This means that the clown is closely related to this incident and is a suspect. In short …. He deserves to die. "
"Ugh ….."
Seeing how Fangzheng didn't seem to mind at all, Ladis was speechless and had nothing to say. Originally, Princess Lana wanted to use this as a favor to show that the kingdom could help Fangzheng get rid of this trouble through Ladis, so as to rope in Fangzheng and the forces behind him. But looking at Fangzheng's expression, it seemed different from what she had expected. How were they supposed to continue the negotiation?
"In short, you don't have to worry."
Fangzheng waved his hand.
"If the people of the Kingdom of Luganica come looking for you, just tell them I killed them and tell them to come to me."
"So what are you going to do?"
For some reason, Ladis had a very bad feeling deep down in her heart.
"Let's talk. If we can't come to an agreement, then we'll talk with our fists. I don't care about a mere Luganica."
If it were someone else, perhaps Lardis would think that Fangzheng was bluffing. But after witnessing the destructive energy waves with her own eyes, she believed that Fangzheng would definitely do what he said. To him, perhaps Luganica wasn't even a problem at all.
"Then, please be more careful."
Since Fangzheng had shown his attitude, Ladis couldn't say anything else.
"Fortunately, the impact of this matter may not be as serious as you think … because there is no king in Luganica right now."
"Hmm? What's going on? "
"It's like this. A few years ago, the former emperor of that country passed away for unknown reasons, and the royal family disappeared without a trace...."
"To think that the country could survive until now without collapsing."
"Luganica is a little different."
Hearing Fangzheng's lament, Ladis smiled bitterly and explained.
"Indeed, if it were any other country, there would be many problems if they lost their ruler. But Luganica's situation is special. This country used to sign a contract with the divine dragon, Borkenny, and was protected by the dragon. Therefore, whether it was war, plague, or famine, they could avoid all of them. Because of this, even though the country lost its king, it did not fall apart. It is currently led by a senior member of the Society of Sages. "
"Oh, a divine dragon...."
Fangzheng nodded, but his heart was still unmoved. In this world, he did not even care about the Crimson Dragon God. The only thing he had to worry about was the Golden King of Nightmares. Why would he care about a divine dragon that came out of nowhere?
If it dared to come looking for trouble, then he would show it the power of the Wings of Death!
Ladis helplessly bade farewell and left. Fangzheng also brought the two girls back to the castle. Perhaps it was because of the sudden calamity, the two girls were very quiet. Fangzheng tried to coax them a few times, but it was to no avail. This was normal. After all, the place where they grew up and the people they grew up in were completely destroyed overnight. For two very young girls, it was not so easy to accept.
In the end, Fangzheng took the two girls to Verona. As they flew in Verona, the gloominess on the two girls' faces finally dissipated a little, and they showed happy smiles that matched their age. Fangzheng flew all the way across the sky with the two little girls and returned to the castle.
When Fangzheng returned to the castle, he happened to see Mei Yin and the maids drying clothes outside. Fangzheng flew Verona around, then found an open space and stopped. He greeted Mei Yin.
"Yo, you're busy."
"Mr. Fangzheng?!"
Mei Yin, who was busy commanding the maids, turned her head when she heard Fangzheng's voice. When she saw the scene, she was stunned and hurried over.
"What's this? Can you actually fly? Is this some kind of magic item? "
"Something like that. When I have nothing to do, I'll take you up for a flight or two."
As he spoke, Fangzheng jumped down from Verona. At the same time, he reached out and carried the two girls sitting on it down.
"Let's make arrangements for them first."
"Huh? They're … "
"They're the children I met when I went out this time. Hmm, let's arrange them in the women's room first. Is that okay?"
"Okay."
Hearing this, although Mei Yin was a little puzzled, she nodded obediently, then turned around to call the women. As for Fangzheng, he reached out his hand and touched the two girls' heads.
"Okay, from today onwards, this is your home. You can live here."
"…"
The two girls did not speak, but they reached out their hands together and grabbed Fangzheng's sleeve, as if they were reluctant to be separated from him.
"Don't worry."
Upon seeing the two girls in this state, Fangzheng stroked their heads again.
"I'll live here too."
"…"
Hearing this, the two girls finally seemed to be a little relieved. They looked at Fangzheng reluctantly again, then left with the maid Mei Yin called.
"What's the matter with them?"
Mei Yin curiously looked at the backs of the two girls as they walked away. Fangzheng sighed.
"They're just unlucky. Their village was attacked by the cultists. Except for the two of them, everyone else was killed."
"They were all killed?!"
Mei Yin's eyes widened in surprise. She had been in this world for some time, but this was the first time she heard of such a massacre.
"Is it that terrible?"
"Of course. Do you think this is a modern society where you can call the police for no reason? The two children lived in a relatively remote village in the border forest. If I hadn't been patrolling there at that time and noticed something was wrong, maybe no one would have found out that the village was attacked for a few weeks. "
"How pitiful …"
Mei Yin clenched her hands and looked at the backs of the two girls uneasily. Although there were a lot of orphans in the castle, most of these orphans were abandoned by their parents. Like these two girls, the whole village was massacred, and only the two of them survived. This kind of thing …. Mayon had never thought of it.
"By the way, Mr. Fangzheng, is there any problem with the safety of our castle here?"
It was fine if Fangzheng didn't mention it, but now that he mentioned it, Mei Yin began to worry about the safety of the castle again. Apart from Fangzheng, the priestess, Hui Hui and Aise were all in the castle, and Mai Lu and the others had not left either. But the priestess and the others were adventurers. They would go out to take on a mission every two or three days. Fangzheng stayed here most of the time, but he would leave occasionally.
Apart from them, the others basically had no combat power. Although Mei Yin's father used to be a soldier and was even a squad leader, Mei Yin was sure that with his strength, he might not even be able to defeat Aise …. Whether he could even defeat the priestess was a question mark.
All that was left were the helpless maids and children ….
What if something really happened to him ….
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements."
Of course, Fangzheng was not stupid enough to not care about the safety of his own lair. In fact, Mei Yin did not know that in the space above them, there were three raiders monitoring and guarding 24 hours a day. It could be said that within a radius of thousands of meters around the castle, not even an ant could escape their surveillance.
If something like the Witch Sect wanted to do what they had done before they came to the castle, Fangzheng would make sure that they would be cremated before they could even get close to the castle.
Even their ashes would be scattered by you.
Furthermore, Fangzheng also specialized in defensive spells. He had all sorts of barriers and shields for defensive spells, and he had all sorts of anti-invisibility and spatial lockdown spells. Although it looked like a five-star hotel with an antique castle structure from the outside, the interior was actually much more secure than a military fortress.
For Fangzheng, there was nothing special about this trip to kill time.
But soon, Fangzheng found that his life had changed.
"Hello, Master."
A red-haired girl and a blue-haired girl in maid clothes stood respectfully in front of Fangzheng's bed. Looking at the two girls in front of him, Fangzheng shook his head and sat up.
"You don't have to get up so early, and you don't have to do these things …."
"Because we're Lord Fangzheng's maids."
The two girls answered in unison in response to Fangzheng's words. Fangzheng was speechless.
That's right. Ever since they came to the castle, the two girls named Lamu and Rem had taken the initiative to apply to become Fangzheng's maids, and Chialei actually approved their application. Perhaps it was because all three of them were rescued by Fangzheng, so they all felt a little sympathetic towards each other.
This made Fangzheng a little depressed.
Although Xia Shi and the others also worked as maids in the Tendo Temple, the most they did was to help clean, cook breakfast and dinner, wash clothes and so on. It was something that a family would do.
But in this place, Lamu and Rem almost wanted to do everything for Fangzheng. For example, when Fangzheng woke up in the morning, they would help Fangzheng change his clothes, help Fangzheng brush his teeth and wash his face, and then prepare breakfast for Fangzheng. The only thing they didn't do was to take the initiative to feed Fangzheng ….
It wasn't that Fangzheng had never said that he didn't need these services, but the two girls just wouldn't listen. They would always say in unison, "Because we're Lord Fangzheng's maids …."
"Sigh, forget it. There's nothing important today, right?"
Fangzheng sat up and started to change his clothes. When he heard Fangzheng's question, Lamu hurriedly answered.
"Master, Miss Meiyin wants to discuss the situation of the paper industry with the Chamber of Commerce today, as well as the establishment of the Meiyin Workshop …. She said that she will report to you when she comes back. Miss Hui Hui wants you to take her to cast explosive magic, while Miss Aisi wants to have additional training with you at noon. Miss Mai Lu said that she has something important to discuss with you. If you have time … .ahem …. "
Lamu suddenly coughed a few times.
"What's wrong? You don't look too good. "
Fangzheng frowned when he saw Lamu's expression. Lamu shook his head.
"It's nothing, Lord Fangzheng. I'm just feeling a little unwell …."
But at that moment, Fangzheng saw Lamu's body sway, then he suddenly closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
"Sister!"
"Hello? What's wrong? "
Fangzheng hurriedly rushed forward and held Lamu in his arms. To his surprise, Lamu's current condition was quite bad. His life force seemed to be continuously draining away. But after careful examination, Fangzheng didn't find any disease or curse on Lamu.
What's going on? Could it be that there was an inside story?
"Do you know what's going on, Rem?"
"Huh? Don't you know, Lord Fangzheng? "
Faced with Fangzheng's question, Rem was a little surprised.
"My sister and I are ghosts …."
"Ghosts? I don't know. What does this have to do with Lamu's current condition? "
"Yes, it's like this …."
Rem lowered his head.
"We ghosts are born with horns. We need to absorb magic from our horns to maintain our lives. But my sister's horn was cut off that day when the witches attacked the village …. "
"Ahh ….!"
When Rem said that, Fangzheng suddenly recalled that he did see a cut on Lamu's head. At that time, Fangzheng was wondering if there was something growing on Lamu's head or if it was accidentally scratched. Now it seemed like there was!
"So, without a horn, Lamu can't absorb magic to maintain himself?"
"Yes …. Lord Fangzheng, if this goes on, I'm afraid my sister won't be able to hold on for much longer …."
"That means we need to replenish our magic …. Hmm? Replenish magic? "
Upon saying that, Fangzheng could not help but be taken aback.
Replenish magic?
Come to think of it, I only know one way to replenish magic!
