216. The Heavy Rain in Demon Castle
Leonard and Lance later talked about some trivial matters, but they didn't ask for useful information.
When Leonard arrived here, he had no interest in Lance. In his eyes, he was just an ignorant playboy. It was really amazing that the old Reelton family had such an alien, but when he thought about it, he felt relieved. This guy was a bastard born to the old man and humans, so it was not difficult to guess.
However, Leonard lost interest in Lance, but the latter stuck like a piece of braised candy, and he couldn't hide it no matter how hard he was. Lance had a second prince on the left and a big cousin on the right made Leonard feel depressed. Damn, you really think that I am a relative of you. Just call you "Cousin" and you're going to be close. Don't be arrogant!
But Leonard is a person who wants face after all. If you want face, you will definitely not be shameless. As he spoke, Lance had already said that he was looking for an opportunity to go to the Demon King City to visit the kiln with Leonard, Leonard finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Well, cousin Lancelot, I have something to do. Do you think we should talk back and forth?"
"It's okay, I can go with you, anyway, I'm fine." Lance said enthusiastically, looking at his expression, as if he had met a rare confidant: "I've been in Dragon Castle for a while and I'm still familiar with the environment here. I'll take you wherever you want to go."
Leonard was so big that he was too big, but he couldn't make up a reason to escape. He had said before that he had only two purposes for him to come to Dragon Castle. One was to inquire about the information of the Dragon Clan and the Queen, and the other was to find the lost demon-sealing arrow. Apart from these two, he found that he had nothing to do in this Dragon Castle. Moreover, it was not appropriate for you to say that a visiting guest was walking around, let alone he was a prince.
Leonard was pestered by Lance and chatted for a day, and all kinds of despicable and unscrupulous unilateral communication was brainwashed. In the end, the second highman who came to Long Castle was so excited that he was so overwhelmed. After staying in Long Castle for one night, he couldn't wait for the queen to summon him the next day. He said hello to the queen's waiter and ran away in shame. But he never expected that Lance, the terrible plague god, would follow him from Long Castle. In his words, it was: "I heard that my father was seriously injured, so he happened to go to Demon King City to see him."
This super legitimate reason choked Leonard very hard, and in the end he could only take Lance with him in a mute manner, but he became sensible. He insisted not to be with Lance, and found a reason to avoid Lance.
Lance and Wen Lesa sat in the ground dragon car and joined the second highman's ranks. There were two ring knights around the Queen who were the same level as Wen Lesa. Teresia arranged for Lance to help him move. Although Teresia said that the purpose of these people traveling was to sneak into the Demon King City to collect intelligence, Lance could still feel Teresia's concern for him. It seems that the Red Dragon Queen was not as ruthless as she was.
However, with Wen Lesa and a group of strong aids joining, Lance's original guards became a little embarrassed. Rather than protecting Lance, he was a follower who carried water and fed things. Fortunately, Lance's comfort said that there must be a chance to show their skills next, which finally made the guards feel better. However, Parker silently complained in his heart, if it weren't for reaching out to pick up shit in the strange bag.
This trip took a long time and it took a total of one and a half days to reach the Demon King City. At this moment, the heavy rainstorms and rains covering the Demon King City are still torrential, as if flooding many low-lying houses in the outer city. The environment is so harsh in places like the abyss. Either there will be few rains in the year, and if it comes, it will definitely be a flood disaster. Until the land is obscured.
Lance lifted the curtain of the earth dragon car and looked out. The most majestic and prosperous city in the legend was filled with potholes covered with rain. Countless victims were forced to work in such a ruthless environment, guiding the water flow, or preparing for war. If there is any difference between the Demon King City and the Lord's Fort where Lance once stayed, it is that it is full of time, but it is full of blood and conspiracy. Sometimes, there were also crying from children, but then it was drowned out by the sound of several whips.
This is the most prosperous place in the entire abyss?
Lance couldn't feel the atmosphere that should have. On the contrary, he felt that this place was a huge cage, specifically imprisoning the most terrifying creatures in the abyss.
The convoy drove all the way until he entered the inner city. When he got here, Leonard, who had avoided Lance, couldn't wait to come over and say goodbye to Lance.
"That cousin Lance, I still have some urgent matters to deal with. Let's separate here. The coachman will be responsible for sending you to Uncle Reelton's place." Leonard was also smart, and he was afraid that this guy would say something about it. When will I go to find you again? Without waiting for Lance to reply, he immediately patted the dragon riding and ran away like a bridle. He didn't know that he really thought the second prince had encountered something urgent matter.
Only Lance looked at Leonard's figure who was leaving and sneered teasingly: "That's really a trouble for the Second Highness."
The injured Lord Relton was arranged to be in the southwest corner of the south city. After Leonard's guards sent Lance, they left. However, most of the people here knew Lance, so there was no trouble. Relton's servants quickly received the young master from the lord's family and led him to Relton's hospital bed.
Relton is in a very bad condition now. He has a tough temper. When dealing with Famir and Vasqi, he has suffered considerable injuries and losses, but he still fights against the demigod Fenriu when he is less than half of his strength. The result of failure is almost destined.
However, as a blessing in disguise, the demon lord Relton at this moment was not missing any arms or legs. However, seeing the wounds on his body that were not adulterated at all, you can imagine how amazing and harsh battle he had experienced. Not only the old lord Relton, but in fact, many of the guards who loyally assisted him were also injured or sacrificed in that battle. The old lord brought out tens of thousands of combat power, but less than half of them could come back after this battle.
After learning about this, Lance felt a little uncomfortable.
Is the old man stupid? He knew that ordinary methods were ineffective against the wolf, so why did he still take risks? Although the war calendar said it was nice and sniped the demon wolf and stopped him from moving forward, the injuries suffered by Fenriu were enough to heal for a while. However, in his current situation, Relton had barely survived on the line of life and death. He was also completely dizzy when he was doing such a totally useless business of eroding money.
Looking at his father who could only open one eye on the sickbed, Lance couldn't say a word. He knew very well. If he hadn't been provoking and instigating Relton to find trouble for the Dark Elves and the Vampire clan, things would not have become like this. Although there were too many uncertain factors in the development of the result, it was absolutely wrong for the fact that things started because of Lance.
Lance was silent. The father in his impression was always high and full of majesty and omnipotence, but the demon lord in front of him could not cover up his old fatigue. Inadvertently, his gray hair had already climbed up to the top of his head. When did it start?
Lance found that he had never noticed these trivial things. Although the abyss was destined to be indifferent to family affection, if this father had not been for him, perhaps he, a bastard with human blood, would have long been dead and could not have died again.
For a moment, Lance was a little mixed with emotion. His always hard heart also felt a little loose.
The old man on the bed heard the movement and turned his head and opened his eyes. He squinted at Lance, and said in a tone that seemed to be homely, "You are here."
"Yeah." Lance bent down in front of Relton, held his hand, and felt the heat connected by blood: "Dad, why are you doing this?"
"Hey, don't mention it, I can't die for a while." Relton himself felt embarrassed. Although his record could be said to be extremely strong, he first defeated the two lords, and then used his injured body to PK the demigod, and actually injured the other party. But if he lost, he lost. Now this tragic appearance was actually seen by his son. He was too shameless. He looked at Lance's injury again and asked: "How is your injury?"
"I'm fine, either," Lance replied.
This is true, because Lance's injuries are mostly pretending, while Relton's injuries are real.
"Hey, is there any news about your second brother?" Relton grabbed Lance's hand tightened a little.
For a moment, Lance wanted to tell his father all about it, but after hesitating for a few times, he swallowed the words back and he held back.
"Not yet." He lied.
"Is that?" Reelton's voice fell down, and he suddenly coughed as if he was feeling something. Lance quickly patted his back, which relieved his mood. Reelton looked at this weak son who was completely different from him, and for a while he was a little stagnant. After a long time, he said, "Since you are here, please leave your heart to take care of your injuries. Let's talk about what's going on in the future."
This sentence is more like what he said to himself than to Lance.
"Yes, Dad, you have a good rest, too." Lance said, covering the blanket for Relton, then stood up and planned to leave, but unexpectedly his hand was suddenly grabbed by a pair of powerful hands that stretched out from behind.
Lance turned his head and looked at his father in confusion.
"Be careful!" Relton suddenly said this without thinking.
This sentence seemed to be a hint or an ordinary reminder. Lance seemed to feel something in his words. When he wanted to ask about the specific situation, he found that his father had closed his eyes and rested, and his hand that he grabbed him was also let go.
Lance closed his mouth, took his hands back for Relton, covered the blanket again and retreated from the room.
At the door, there were many people standing and waiting. Not only those whom Lance brought this time, but also some of them were subordinates who had followed Lord Relton's battles in the south for many years, and are still serving the guards next to the lord.
"Can anyone tell me what happened in that battle?" Lance asked calmly, but the retainers who still had the impression of Lance were on the ignorant playboy all felt a terrifying and irresistible aura.
That feeling was like the lord himself talking here...
But how is this possible!?
