chapter one(1/2)

After losing Charlie and the Spartan Knights, a few days later, Roger received news that the Eye of Wisdom was attacked. However, this time it was good news. Although the Eye of Wisdom suffered a considerable loss, they not only wiped out the invading enemy, but also captured a Druid's elder alive!

Roger immediately sent the most urgent message to Moral, asking her to send the elder of Druid to herself as soon as possible.

What made Roger even more happy was that not only Androni had achieved cultivation and reappeared, but also Audreh's arrival at a critical moment. This made Roger see hope again in the predicament.

Even if the mysterious and weird Audrehe couldn't count on him, Androni would always help, right? If there was an extra Sanctuary Power to help, some impossible things in the past immediately turned around.

On the surface, Roger was surrounded by strong people, even to a surprising level. Needless to say, the strength of Fengyue and the Death God Clan was, Seus had never made people unable to see the details. Now there was another Androni, and Roger could almost say that there were four Holy Land powerhouses around him. The fat man was planning that if Audreh counted in, he would at least five Holy Land powerhouses, or even six.

Unfortunately, none of these people took Roger seriously. They were completely self-righteous. If they met, they would help Roger. If they didn't meet, they would be unlucky. For example, the Death Class, he had disliked Roger at all. If it weren't for Aysilot's wish, he wouldn't care about the fat man's life or death. The Death Class's understanding of the mission is that as long as the Silver Dragon Nicholas was not allowed to kill Roger, he would be fulfilling his duties. So let alone he would not help Roger deal with Druid, even if Druid wanted to kill the fat man, he would probably stand by.

Regardless of Feng Yue, the old fox, Seus, the fat man thought he could not fight for the time being. After all, the only one who was entangled with him was the most obedient one. But this young lady with a wide range of hobbies also came and left as she said, and didn't know how to care about when Rogue would need her.

In order to make these people's direction consistent with them, the fat man really spent a lot of his brains. He was like guiding a group of stubborn farmers with different tastes, and had to put all kinds of things that match the appetite of these stubborn donkeys all the way to the destination, so that they could drive them to where they needed them.

But these stubborn donkeys have too high taste, and Roger often can't afford what they want. In addition, their tastes are always changing, and it's tiring to figure out the temperament of a donkey. Moreover, Roger has to figure out four at the same time. The exhaustion of this may be no less relaxed than dealing with Yunxiao City.

For example, now that Miss Androni has reappeared and has obviously possessed the strength of the Sanctuary, she has not yet come to Dresden to find the fat man. God knows where she has gone again.

Rogge put down the report in his hand and smiled bitterly. Now he has experienced the helpless feeling of some great emperors. For these people in the holy realm, they may leave at any time no matter how thoughtful and flattered them. Their role for great cause is actually very limited.

He put down the documents in his hand, came to the window, and quietly looked at the scenery outside.

Since Charlie's defeat, the rebel army has been in great momentum. The Bauhinia Butterfly has publicly called on all Latvian people to stand up and overthrow Rogue's tyranny. Without Charlie's command and under Xia Shang's restrictions, it was not mobilized. Therefore, the Duchy's army has lost steadily in the battle with the rebel army and has lost several small cities in the border area.

Xia Shang, who was unknown, also advised Roger, asking to take over the army left by Charlie so as to eliminate the rebels. Roger suppressed his anger and replied to him with a stern wording letter, and transferred most of his real power into Horn's hands.

Although what really gave Roger a headache was the City of Clouds and the Silver Miracle Nicholas, the growth of the Resistance Army had reached a point where he could not tolerate it. Nicholas, who was extremely powerful and wandering, was not easy to deal with, but the City of Clouds was obvious. Although the Wrath of Sky was strong, the other druids were not in Roger's eyes. However, there were many capable people in the City of Clouds, who knew if there would be another figure like the God of Death Class. Besides, the Wrath of Sky was only the "Great Druid of the North". It's still unclear what kind of characters the other three druids were.

But the three druids could not stop Roger's plan to revenge. Anyway, even if he wanted to reconcile, the druids would definitely not let him go. Therefore, the fat man was ready to stabilize the interior first, and then counterattack the City of Yunxiao.

As for the Silver Miracle, there is no good idea yet, so he can only go. In fact, this confidant cannot delay at all. Almost no one under Roger can block Nicholas' attack. This time he kills Charlie, and the next time his target may not be aimed at anyone.

Roger thought repeatedly and said that the most urgent task at the moment was to find out the origin of the Bauhinia Butterfly. This mysterious young woman had become the spiritual leader of the Resistance Army, and her soldiers were close to half of the entire Resistance Army. Now she colluded with Silver Dragon Nicholas again, which was equivalent to asking the soldiers to have soldiers, generals to have generals, and strong to have strong ones.

Roger had scolded Horn several times, but he still failed to get the details of the Bauhinia Butterfly. The fat man also knew that he had tried his best and had to think about him. However, Horn successfully bribed a guard beside the Bauhinia Butterfly and learned that Nicholas had never appeared again since the war that day.

Roger handled the official business for a day, and the pile of documents at hand was still only half. He smiled bitterly. In the past, most of these documents would not be placed on his desk.

He looked up and looked out the window. It was already dark. At this time, his door was pushed open by someone, and Froya walked in swayingly. She covered her mouth with a small hand and yawned, looking like she was sleepy and sluggish. She obviously had just gotten up after taking a nap.

"Fatty man, why don't you eat at all in your grand duke's mansion? I ordered a few things casually, but the manager said that it was too expensive, so he didn't prepare! Can you do it? You are also the prince of the empire, you are even worse than the count of a remote area. Hello, don't think I don't know, you always treat the treasury of the principality as your own pocket."

Rog stood up and smiled and said, "The treasury of the Principality has no money. There are more than 300,000 gold coins left now, so we can only barely maintain the operation. We will have to collect various taxes in the autumn. If I don't take the lead in reducing expenses from the Grand Duke Mansion, how can I let other departments reduce expenses? The resistance army is now rampant, and the military expenditure is very large. You, let's just give it a little for the time being."

Furoya yawned again, and still said in a daze: "You have no money? Where have the millions of gold coins gone? I heard that Xia Shang and his subordinates were very corrupt. It should be time to kill them? Destroy their clan and confiscate their property, and you will have money again. Their money comes from civilians. Isn't this equivalent to levying a tax severely, and then making the citizens think you are a good person?"

Roger laughed and said, "Okay, I can't hide anything from you. You can sit down first, two guests will come later, and then you will know how I spent all my money."

As soon as she heard that a guest was coming, Froya's ears immediately stood up and she woke up immediately. She said, "Come back soon" and disappeared at the door.

In a blink of an eye, a little fairy dressed in costume walked in again. She was beautiful and incompetent, with a hint of holiness and charm, which made the fat man's eyes lit up. Roger was especially impressed by her lightning speed.

She sat behind Roger, and it was simply perfect, and it was inseparable from the tempting, dangerous, willful and ruthless little goblin in Roger's memory.

When night falls, it is when people are active in the dark world.

Dangdang, two gentle striking sounds sounded. But it was not a knock on the door, but a knock on the window.

"Come in!"

The window opened quietly. Nicole jumped in and said, "Mr. Roger, you haven't summoned us for a long time!"

She saw Froya at first sight, looked at her very focused for a while, and finally she felt slightly discouraged.

Roger looked at the two newly added silver daggers on her cuffs and smiled and said, "Nicole, have you been promoted!"

Nicole smiled and said, "This is all taken care of by Lord Rogge! For VIPs like you, we Dark Night Dancers have always been served by special people, for example, I will always be waiting for your summons. The elders have decided on your mission to investigate the Bauhinia butterfly, because the mission is likely to involve the strong men in the Sanctuary, so the price is set at 50,000 gold coins. What do you think?"

"Nicole, you can contact anyone among the Dark Night Dancers who can decide the price of the mission at any time now?"

Nicole nodded and said, "You made a special notice last time, so I brought the magic communication device here."

Roger said: "It's great, we have to wait for one more person before we can decide the price."

Before he finished speaking, a gray mist was covered with outside the window, and a figure slowly took shape from the darkness. The man stepped into the window, bowed to Roger, and said, "The shadow was waiting for your order." As his eyes passed by Froya, it instantly burned a little, and then lowered his head and did not dare to look at it.

"Shadow?" Nicole said in a lost voice: "Sir Roger, why are they here?"

Roger did not answer, but just smiled and said, "You are so honest this time!"

Nicole and the man in gray in the shadow organization were a little embarrassed. A few times ago, they had already suffered the pain that appeared in Roger's room at will. The man in gray almost died. How dare they play with fire again?

The man in gray said: "Lord Rog, we are willing to take over the task of Zi Lan Butterfly with 40,000 gold coins!"

Nicole was very nervous, and she immediately said, "Mr. Roger, this price has exceeded my authority. Please wait for a while and I will ask the elders for instructions!" After that, she walked out of the window.

The man in gray seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago. He bowed to Roger, calmly left the room, and found a secret place to contact his boss.

After a while, the two returned to the study and began to kill the price fiercely. But when they reached 30,000 gold coins, they refused to lower the price anymore, and instead made a fuss about the time limit for completing the task. Finally, when Nicole uttered the sentence "one week", the man in gray finally fell silent.

It seems that the emerging shadows are still not as profound as the Dark Night Dancer.

The mission was settled like this. Rogge suddenly moved his heart and said, "Wait, I have another reward mission to be released through your channels."

The man in gray robe immediately asked, "What is the reward?"

Nicole asked, “How much is the bounty?”

Roger said slowly: "I want to offer a reward for an evil dragon that has recently appeared in the Duchy Kingdom! It is well-versed in the ultimate transformation technique and usually turns into a silver-skinned elf. The most obvious feature is that it is covered with silver magic patterns. This evil dragon feeds on people and kills a large number of civilians in the Duchy Kingdom. Therefore, if any adventurer or hunter can find and kill this evil dragon, he will receive one million gold coins!"

Hearing this number, Nicole and the man in gray were both moved. Nicole calmed down a little and asked, "Do you have any additional supplements to this task? I personally recommend that you keep your identity confidential. We Dark Night Dancers can guarantee the reliability of the task. Of course, this will be charged some fees."

Roger pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know what kind of dragon race this evil dragon belongs to, but someone has seen its deformation. According to the description, maybe it is a silver dragon. Also, if you can't kill this evil dragon, you can get a tenth of the bounty after taking back part of his body. You can send this task for me at the same time."

Nicole calculated quickly and said, "The total cost of such a task... to release and provide guarantees is 60,000 gold coins."

The man in gray said, "For the same service, it only takes 40,000 gold coins to hand over the shadow."

Nicole immediately retorted: "Can the shadow channel be compared with the Dark Night Dancers? How many top hunters can you contact, and have long-term contact with several large mercenary groups? How many of your own Sanctuary Powers are there?"

The man in gray said coldly: "Of course our strength is not as good as the Dark Night Dancers, but providing services at a suitable price is the reason why our shadows exist. Although we are weak, we have experienced two dark wars and were not destroyed by you Dark Night Dancers. Our existence was recognized by the Dark Night Dancers. Humph, you couldn't do anything to the shadows back then. Could it be that we can eliminate us now?"

Knock! Nicole drew out the dagger and shouted, "Since you are not convinced, let's fight. See if I, the killer who just qualified among the Dark Night Dancers, can do anything to you!"

The man in gray pulled out a dull dagger and said slowly: "It seems that I have to accept your challenge."

"This is not a suitable battlefield!" As he said that, Fuluo Yingying stood up, raised her hands slightly, and two bright red light balls hit the two tense killers. Their bodies immediately froze and could not move.

The two killers looked at Fuluya in horror. They didn't expect that this dignified and quiet beauty would be such a powerful magician! Of course, before the effect of paralysis magic was lifted, they could only glance at Fuluya from the corner of their eyes.

The little fairy whispered something in Roger's ear, and Roger's eyes lit up slightly.

He said to the two killers standing like sculptures: "There is another very important addition to the mission of the reward dragon, which is that the last place where the evil dragon transformed into a silver elf appeared, is the side of the Bauhinia butterfly leading the rebel army!"

Roger closed the report and thought.

From this report, it seems that the Hanyue Camp in Yunxiao City is an organization similar to the Church of Light, and it has been operating for quite a while. There is such an organization in Yunxiao City, which shows that the Druids' hearts are not just about maintaining the balance of nature. A long time ago, they began to prepare for interfering in the political economy of the empire. Druids, who had always been hidden in peace, were so deliberate and determined to seize power. There must be another reason.

This can explain why the two insiders arranged by Horn could not compete with the Bauhinia Butterfly. Around her, Yunxiao City must have arranged a group of people to assist. From this point of view, he used to regard the Bauhinia Butterfly's troops as a mob, but indeed underestimated the enemy.

What made Rogue secretly scared was that it seemed that Nicholas had already joined forces with Yunxiao City. If these two strong rivals joined forces, it would be enough to keep the fat man awake at night.

At the end of the report, the Bauhinia Butterfly has noble personality, firm beliefs, and a spirit of sacrifice.

"This will be useful." Rogue thought to himself.

In just six days, several groups of high-level hunters and adventurers have entered the Principal of Alay. They obviously came for the huge bounty of the dragon. Although these people have good abilities, it is impossible for any Sanctuary Powerful Man to kill them a small team. It is impossible for them to kill Nicholas. They didn't think about whether the Silver Dragon, which can use the final level transformation technique, is comparable to ordinary Sanctuary Powerful Man. However, the power of gold coins is infinite, and the pleasant voice of Ding Dang and the soft golden light are enough to make them forget what the Silver Dragon actually means.

The taxonomy of dragons is a very profound science. Among adventurers of various races in mainland China, the knowledge about dragons is very poor and inaccurate. It is no wonder that several people are powerful enough to detect the survival status of dragons? Adventurers can subdue only some of the lowest dragon clans. Those who can kill the real strong people of the higher dragon clan will not take this risk unless there is a special reason. For these people, gold coins have long lost their appeal.

So although Rogge only had more than 300,000 gold coins left in the national treasury and spent more than 100,000 for these two tasks, he still offered a reward of one million gold coins with confidence.

Anyway, those who can earn this million will never be tempted by money. Those who want to earn a million will definitely not have the ability.

Everything was as Rogue expected. Although the hunters had not arrived on a large scale, the military camp of Bauhinia Butterfly was already full of chaos. Every late at night, batches of hunters would try to sneak into the military camp of Bauhinia Butterfly and explore where the deformed dragon was hidden.

Many hunters are good at hiding, but there are also people who are not so good at moving in the dark. No matter what the situation is, most of the time, hunters often want to get rid of the sentinels of the Bauhinia butterfly. It doesn’t work if the Bauhinia butterfly sends several times the sentinels. In the eyes of these highly capable hunters, there is no difference between a few and a dozen sentinels. However, if you send a team of dozens of people to keep watch, because there are many places to be on guard, the Bauhinia butterfly needs at least a thousand sentinels, how is that possible?

Moreover, the adventurers and mercenaries who were originally hired to help also heard the news of the Dragon's reward and began to get ready. Many of them had seen Nicholas in the battle that day, and still remembered the extremely conspicuous silver magic pattern feature. Although Nicholas was extremely powerful, these adventurers still had a little luck in taking action in secret.

A few days ago, Jonathan and Gugar, the prestigious leaders in the rebellion, suddenly claimed that the Bauhinia Butterfly colluded with the demon and achieved victory in the battle with the help of the devil's power. They also said that they would never want to become a tool for the demon, so they led their soldiers to retreat to the south.

The sudden division of the rebels immediately cast a shadow on the original good situation.

On that night, the town where the rebels were located, Qiaobi Town was more lively than any other night before. At the edge of the town, fighting and screams came from time to time, and almost at every moment, several battles occurred at the same time.

In a small building in the center of the town, a Bauhinia butterfly in dark purple armor pushed open the door and came to the terrace. She stared at the firelight everywhere in the distance and frowned.

In order to stop the increasingly rampant activities of hunters, the Druid and the Ice Wind Warriors whom she was directly affiliated tonight have all been dispatched to hunt down all the hunters who dared to invade. The Bauhinia Butterfly knew that doing so would only arouse endless hatred, but she had no other way. Now ordinary warriors are already at risk, and sometimes they have to rely on lottery to decide who should be on guard. If they continue to tangle with the bounty hunters like this, it will not take long for Rogue to attack, and perhaps the rebels will collapse first.

The Bauhinia Butterfly has heard of the million-dollar bounty that has been circulated in the dark world and the bounty hunter circle. But she knew that even if she came out to clarify, no one would believe her. The hunters who appeared now are just the vanguard, and the real threat is still behind.

The night wind was mixed with burnt and blood, which invisibly increased the anxiety of the Bauhinia butterfly. Before accepting this task, the Presbyterian Council reminded her many times that the opponent was definitely not a simple person. But before she recovered from the joy of the victory not long ago, she was hit by Roger. Now she not only had to deal with the continuous hunters, but also had to beware of the mercenaries and adventurers who were originally helping.

This is the first time that the most outstanding Bauhinia Butterfly among the younger generation of Moon Night Knights also began to feel the situation was tricky. If she was wrong, it was that she underestimated the greed and madness in human nature. With the help of the huge power of Yunxiao City, Bauhinia Butterfly knew the financial situation of the Principal of Ale very well. She knew that Rogge could not pay a reward of millions of gold coins at all. But so what? This millions of gold coins were not required to be paid.

If possible, she would rather pay one million gold coins in exchange for Nicholas' help. However, this elf with an exceedingly powerful force only helped her once in that battle and has never appeared again. And Nicholas's ability to help was also the result of the Presbyterian activities, and she could not make friends with powerful people of this level.

That battle was indeed a complete victory.

Charlie's sudden killing caused a brief panic and chaos in the army. The Druid and the Ice Wind Warriors who had been hidden were hostile in terms of strength and number. In addition, she lured the enemy behind many sides, and had an advantage in numbers and finally wiped out Charlie's troops.

This time, the blow to Roger was extremely heavy. However, as soon as Roger came back from the imperial capital, he began to fight back fiercely. The rebels split, spread rumors of her collusion with the demons and were attracted by huge rewards. The locust-like adventurer was just a prelude. No one could tell how much strength Roger was hidden. Yunxiao City originally wanted to attack the fat man's ally Eye of Wisdom while Roger was away, but unexpectedly, not only was the entire army wiped out, but the elder in the head was also captured alive!
To be continued...
