9. Those who came to rescue and those who were rescued

Poke, who was lying on the floor of the study, trembling all over, feeling that he was really stupid. Looking back, he was also because of his impulse and turned back to save Layla despite his father's obstruction.

However, although he was young, he knew that it would not work by just breaking through. He learned some skills from his father, who was a hunter, at least crossed the three-meter-high wall of the manor without any external force.

Originally, according to Pock's plan, he first sneaked into the interior of the manor secretly, found Layla and then took her out secretly, and everything was built without being discovered. However, the plan could never keep up with the change. When he crossed the wall, he saw a bloody scene.

From the outside, it seems always grand and crowded, but now it is a dead land. There are at least a hundred people in this manor, but now they have all become corpses covered with corpses.

What exactly happened?

Pock pinched his face hard, which hurts, but his dull eyes looked in front of him, which seemed to be a nightmare that he could not wake up. However, the difference was that if it was a dream, then no matter how terrible everything happened in front of him, when he woke up, he would find that everything was just a false phantom. However, when Pock witnessed the servant who had bullied him, being caught up by those black-armored guards and cutting his head off, Pock covered his mouth with both hands. If he didn't do so, he would scream out loud without control.

Blood flowed all over the ground, and Poke's bloodshot eyes saw only the head of the man with unwillingness and pain rolling down from his neck and falling to the ground. The guard behind him ignored the half of his body lying in the pool of blood, grabbed the head, and walked back.

Fortunately, when the guard left with his head, he did not find Pok hiding in the leaves, but unfortunately Pok exposed himself because he was too nervous.

The unnatural rustling of leaves proved that there were people behind the tree, and Lance's guards were all trained soldiers, so it was impossible to tell the difference.

Poke looked at the black-armored guard who had just broken the head of the servant, and turned his head back. At that moment, Poke couldn't help but shed tears. He was only 16 years old, so naturally he could not easily look down on life and death, especially when the black-armored guard with his face hidden under his helmet and only flashed with blood-red eyes raised the weapon in his hand and looked down from top to bottom, Poke even forgot to escape and breathe - his whole body was exhausted and exhausted, and death tied up his whole body like a shadow.

At that moment, he seemed to see the scene of his head being cut off.

However, the next second, a figure suddenly appeared and arrested the guard's attack first.

"He is not the one in this house," said General Black Ant with certainty, because the little guy's broken clothes seemed out of place with this luxurious mansion, "I'll ask the young master first."

After hearing what Heigang said, the guard grabbed the head of the servant who had just been cut off and left. The black ant's pair of black eyes staring at Poke's whole body was frightened.

He no longer remembers how he was brought here, but it is obvious that his power of life and death is now in the hands of a person.

The man who was in charge of his fate was now casting a sight to him from behind the desk.

"What's your name?" Lance's voice was extremely friendly, clean and refreshing, making people feel like spring breeze-if it was not for the current situation.

"My name is Poke." The boy crawled on the ground and replied tremblingly.

Lance was a little surprised, but what he was surprised about actually had nothing to do with the boy in front of him. Instead, since the system panel was updated just now, Lance's perspective on the world has been somewhat different.

He seemed to understand the meaning of the system telling himself to learn [primary insight].

When he observed the character, he could actually see the other person's name!

And not only that, for example, when Lance was looking at Black Steel just now, he could even read the character attribute panel of Black Steel.

Black Steel (Ant-Human).

Occupation: Mercenary.

Skills: [Combat B], [Weapon Mastery C+], [Fighting Back to the Water C]

Although the information given by this panel is very simple, it makes Lance feel extremely novel.

When he looked at the little guy in the room again, a look appeared on his head.

Poke (mixed human)

Occupation: Civilian

Skill: [Hunt F]

At this moment, Lance understood where to find people at the level of [Agriculture E] or above. Just use the skill of [Elementary Insight] to observe - but although I want to say that, Lance felt that it was a very long time and physical effort to find it.

Back to reality, Lance still has to deal with the matter in front of him. He recognized Pock and himself as one of the civilians he met at the entrance of the Jazz Manor. Lance couldn't help but ask, "Then Pock, I ask you, is there anything you have to do in the Jazz's manor?"

Although Lance asked kindly, the three people in the room knew that if there was a leak in his answer, the one who fell there would be a fresh corpse.

"When the elders say, the elders..." Poke remembered the Jazz's call at the door, "I... I climbed into the wall because I saw Layla on the master's frame."

Poke dared not hide anything, so he could only tell the truth. He was full of regret, if it weren't for his impulse.

However, Lance was not sure what Poke was thinking, but the statement of mentioning Layla on the frame made Lance stunned.

"Who is Layla?"

General Black Ant, who was guarding the door, replied respectfully: "Young Master, it should be the girl you saved in the woods."

When he heard Heigang's reminder, Lance also remembered: "Hey, didn't you let her leave when you arrived in the village?"

Hei Gang thought to myself, would I dare to make a decision if you always give orders? But Hei Gang is a good comrade who is willing to take the blame for his master, so he just stood there and left Lance behind.

Lance said this and waved his hand: "Bring that girl and let her go with this boy."

Heigang has always followed the owner's opinions unconditionally. After nodding, he turned around and left the room.

The left behind Poke is incredible.

He was already completely disappointed, thinking that he would not only not leave Layla, but even his life would have to be taken in, but the young county magistrate actually agreed to let him and Layla go. How could this be called Poke not surprised, but he couldn't help but feel worried.

I thought to myself, this person is the one who kills without blinking, and I don’t know if he is lying to him.

However, it turned out that Pock misunderstood Lance, and Layla was quickly brought over. For Lance, killing Sir Raven was necessary, but a civilian and a village girl really couldn't arouse Lance's interest. Moreover, although Lance was decisive, he was not a bloodthirsty person in his bones, at least he still sticks to his moral bottom line.

However, compared to Poke who was worried, Layla's situation was not much better than him. Her experience this night could only be described as bizarre. She finally got out of the dragon pond and encountered a tiger's den. Now, Layla saw Poke in the room, and naturally she was indescribable in her eyes.

"Pok, why are you here?"

"Then, that..." I came to save you so decisively couldn't say anything. In fact, if Lance hadn't decided to leave the past, Pock's life would have been gone long ago. He looked at Leila's beautiful face and could only lower his head with hatred.

Lance in the room was also a little surprised. Before, because Layla made it dirty and tattered in the woods, Lance didn't look at her anymore because she was concerned about the system tasks. But when she changed her clothes and washed her face, Lance found that this was an absolute beauty. Unlike the ladies and ladies who were used to being with the Lord's Fort, Layla had a natural and fresh beauty that was not contaminated with the world, which made Lance couldn't help but take a look at her more.

Lance never hides the beauty, and always looks openly and honestly, which makes Layla feel the scorching gaze from the front. She lowered her head embarrassedly.

However, Lance has not yet reached the point where he will force a beauty to occupy. Although he is a playboy, Lance has always advocated the kind of relationship between men and women that you love and do, and he just said that he wanted to send the two away, so naturally there is no reason to go back on his word: "This young man said he is your relative? If so, go back with him."

Layla and Poke were actually just cousins ​​who were a little bit of blood. When they saw each other, Layla was naturally happy. She was a girl in such a completely unfamiliar place, especially Sir Raven's nest, which was not afraid of people. However, when she heard that Lance was going to send her away, she felt a sense of loss in her heart that she would never see her prince again.

The two of them are destined to be an insurmountable gap, and Layla, the Cinderella, is destined to be able to look up to them.

However, Lance and Poke did not understand her conflicting mood. Poke was so happy after the disaster. After thanking Lance, he took Layla's hand and wanted to leave.

"Lyra, do you know how worried your father, brother, sister and everyone are you suddenly gone?"

This sentence was half anger and half concern, and Layla felt warm in her chest. She calmed down her sadness. Yes, not only did she not die today, but she also collected herbs that could cure her father's illness. All of this was a blessing to the adult in front of her. If his convoy had happened to pass by and save him, she might have died now.

"Thank you for your life-saving kindness." She then remembered that she had been too surprised and even forgot to thank her.

Lance nodded at her with a smile.

Layla looked up again and looked at the handsome young man opposite him deeply, then followed Poke out. Lance asked Heigang to lead the way for them, otherwise the two of them might have been killed by the guards running around outside as a leaked fish before they even left the manor.

When the two men disappeared, Lance sat down in the chair again.

He directly called out the interface of the Demon Lord system. This system brought him too many surprises today. Although he was not sure whether these were all information that was beneficial to him, Lance's excited mood kept clamoring his chest.

He wants to take advantage of the rest today to thoroughly study the demon lord system.

I have roughly finished reading [Interior Affairs] and [Task], and the rest are [War] and [Gauge].

[War] There is nothing to say, because the panel of Lance is empty, there is only one prompt-

Your lord level has not been unlocked, please increase it to at least level E.

Well, Lance then looked at the last [Gauge].

As wise readers, you should be familiar with superb games like gag machines. Simply put, this is a system where you will immediately draw something after stuffing a coin.

Lance reads the tips on the gag menu.

"Pay 100 system points to perform a glitch lottery."

Lance almost vomited blood. The points required were the same as the lord's level upgrade experience. It would be better to upgrade the lord if he had this point, but he soon discovered that there was a bracket at the end of the prompt.

(Free for the first time).

What else to hesitate about...
