3. The first task you do or not
Although the convoy stepped up its speed, it was inevitably dragged into the darkness.
The night in the abyss came suddenly, and it did not have a dusk excess like the ground world. Instead, when the moment of demons came, the petals would fall into the abyss. There was no way, the convoy's guard could only light a torch and walk carefully along the road.
Fortunately, it is not far from Gulu Ridge at the destination.
Lance sat in the earth dragon car and continued to study the demon lord system. He found that many of the parameters of this system were closely related to himself, and some attributes were floating and changing.
During the time he was on the road, he had already seen the modules of internal affairs and war. These two things can be said to be the essence of the entire Demon Lord system. The design was very complicated. Even if Lance had extraordinary talent, he would have a headache when he first came into contact with it. He was about to look at the remaining two functions of the task and the gambler, but suddenly he heard a shout from outside.
"Help----!!"
This was the whine of a weak girl. Lance knew that she was not his own. There was no woman in his entire guard. This time his father was completely angry and he was not allowed to bring a woman.
"What's going on?" Lans pulled open the curtains and asked outside.
Soon, Lance's close guard Ant General Heigang drove his riding dragon to report to Lance: "Master, someone should have broken in the forest. Guruling is right in front, it should be a local."
It is said that no one will enter the forest, especially in the abyss, there are usually ferocious beasts lurking. And on such nights, the person who runs in is seeking death.
Heigang knew his young master's character, so he would not care about such nostalgic business.
Sure enough, Lance stretched and said, "Are you going to arrive finally? I'm so tired. When I arrived at the place, I had to find two beautiful girls and take a hot bath..."
The civilians who broke into the woods were not taken seriously at all. This is true. The world of the abyss is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and there will never be mercy and sympathy.
Heigang laughed rattle, and his upper palate kept shaking when he smiled, so he made such a sound.
The young master is well known to everyone in the entire Lord's Castle, especially after he slept with his sister-in-law, this bad reputation is even better than before.
Speaking of the Igusas family, it is really famous.
There is no need to say much about the reputation of the old lord Relton Igusas. He was an important minister of the previous devil king, one of the six great lords, responsible for guarding the River of Fire. The eldest son Victor Igusas is very similar to his father. The so-called general has extremely high military talent and extremely powerful personal strength. In a place where strong people are respected, strength almost represents everything. There is no doubt that he is the next well-deserved heir of the lord's family.
The second son Jill Igusas is not inferior to the boss. Unlike the boss, he is a treacherous and changeable strategist. This is not common in the abyss where he likes to go straight, but his outstanding performance in many wars has already earned him the attention of the Demon King. Now he is recruited to serve as the deputy general of the Right Cavalry under the Demon King. Although Jill does not have the right to inherit the lord, he is valued by the Demon King at such a young age, and his future is unlimited.
As for the remaining third brother, the handsome white-faced boy in front of him, he is quite famous in a sense. Of course, compared with his two outstanding brothers, all the famous parts are bad, which can also be summarized as having bad records. He is a mixed seed born to the old lord and a human princess who was snatched from the ground kingdom. Mix seeds in the abyss are usually inferior labels, and walking on the road is the kind that cannot even raise his head.
But this guy is also awesome. He was originally destined to be discriminated against in the upper-class circle. However, Lance was proficient in eating, drinking, and gambling. He was able to get along in the circle of dandy people. All day long, he was the descendants of those real power figures. Naturally, no one dared to stumbling easily for him. Because of his handsome appearance, he hooked up with girls from all over the Lord's Castle to cheat on money and cheat countless people. The other party's family came to him and he refused to admit it. The most bizarre thing is that the other party's lady actually spoke good words and pleaded for him. Even when he met a few strong-minded people, he even forced his family to death. So although Lance was everyone in the Lord's Castle, no one could really touch him. Who made the Lord his father?
So when others mentioned the three sons of the Igusas family, the first two were praised, and the remaining ones were shaken by their heads. However, after being with Lance for so many years, Heigang knew very well that the young master he followed was not as unbearable as outsiders imagined.
Everyone was blinded by the title of the Son of the Lord. Just kidding, if you try Lance in a situation like this, even the Demon King's son died ten thousand times in a place where violence is supreme, but Lance can do it even though it offensives, but never crosses the bottom line of others. And this time, being demoted to Guru Ridge, isn't it a time to die and live?
Because his two excellent brothers never tolerate this younger brother of inferior blood in their eyes, especially now Lord Relton's health is getting worse day by day. If the old lord suddenly dies one day, then the eldest will succeed the lord. In addition, the second person has been promoted on the battlefield, and the situation of Lance staying in the lord's castle will only get worse day by day.
So it's good to come out. Although it's not as lively as the Lord's Fort, it's at least saved its life. And it's at least Lance's own territory, so let's see in the future.
Heigang thought so.
But unexpectedly, Lance on the dragon car next to him kept calling him.
"Black steel, black steel!"
Heigang woke up from his thoughts and hurriedly bowed to his master apologetically, but there was no expression on his dark face: "Young Master, what are your instructions?"
"Didn't I just say that you should quickly lead a team of people to the forest to rescue people!"
The Black Ant General was stunned. He thought he had heard it wrong: "Young Master, what are we going to do?"
"Go to the forest to save people."
Heigang finally found out that it wasn't his ears that had something wrong, but he couldn't be happy at all: "Young master, you also know how dangerous it is to enter the woods in the dark night of the abyss. And Gululing is your fiefdom. When you arrive, you can choose the Shou Shou Huan Fei."
Lance was immediately happy when he heard this. It turned out that the black ant thought he missed a woman.
It seems that my usual image is indeed deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even Heigang is closer to him than others, and has been somewhat affected. However, judging from his past actions, this is undeniable.
Normally, Lance also knew what the abyss forest was like at night. If it weren't for a special situation, he wouldn't want to get into this muddy water. However, when he found that a task list jumped out of his Demon Lord system, he suddenly felt that it seemed necessary to try it.
【Task】Save the girl who accidentally entered the woods
Mission description: The people in your territory are in danger and your guard is passing by. Whether to save this lost girl depends on your choice. (Save or not will affect the lord's attributes)
Mission time limit: Before the girl dies.
As soon as he saw this mission, he knew that it had a time limit, so Lance urged Heigang to sow people and set off quickly. He didn't want to bring back a corpse when he went in. Although it was nothing, it was too disappointing for Lance who wanted to observe the results of the mission.
Heigang could not see Lance's demon lord system, so he naturally did not understand why Lance suddenly changed his mind. However, out of loyalty to the master he followed, since the young master spoke, Heigang didn't say anything else. He just reminded Lance: "Young Master, the woods are dangerous at night, so I will bring a group of people in. Please stay here with the remaining guards."
"Of course."
Although he made the decision to save people, Lance did not intend to fight the monsters himself. He was just the person who gave orders, not the person who was responsible for the fight.
Leave the hands-on matters to experts.
So, before he followed Lance, Heigang was a wandering mercenary.
The profession of mercenaries usually has two types of jobs, one is to work hard in war, and the other is to accept employment from the financial owners and complete some tasks. When both jobs are very leisurely, they will go out to dangerous situations in the abyss to hunt monsters there, and obtain valuable materials to sell to merchants.
So for Heigang, the abyss woods at night is not mysterious. What he needs to do is to be as cautious as possible and deal with all emergencies.
Heigang ordered the 10 guards who entered the woods with him to divide into three groups, forming a mutually supportive triangular formation, and moving quickly towards the source of the call for help. Since Lance ordered to save people, he had to save people, rather than bringing them back to a dead person.
In fact, after the conversation just now, the voice of asking for help is now far away and is becoming increasingly weak.
Thinking about it, she would definitely not last long for a girl to be chased by beasts on such a night. However, Heigang still knew a lot of things based on her own experience, such as the woods near the village, although there were also beasts dormant, but they were not too outrageous. Legendary monsters like the Thunder Dragon and the Red Flame Bird would never encounter them here - this made people feel relieved.
What you need to do now is to find the location of your target as soon as possible.
The two tentacles on the black steel head sway rhythmically, and the pores of the whole body are spreading - it is identifying the location of nearby creatures.
This method is obviously more effective than listening!
"Finally found!"
Heigang raised two huge compound eyes and explored deep into the dark grove ahead.
Chapter completed!
