Chapter 128 The Lazy Lord
Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of fantasy novels.
The milk that Carl sprayed out had a pale purple sheen, splashing onto the smooth exterior wall of the kitchen like a handful of shattered stars.
He was so shocked that he wondered if he was dreaming.
Who is the lord?
In his heart.
That is the embodiment of mystery, greatness, generosity, kindness, benevolence, wisdom, and compassion.
Even though the lord was only a rudimentary transcendent being who had awakened the talent for life-type magic, he was still a powerful being who inspired awe in him.
just.
Stripped of these accolades, the lord was also a bit capricious, a nobleman who loved luxury and disliked ugliness and filth.
as well as...
I'm a bit lazy...
...
Yes!
Karl thinks the lord is a bit lazy!
Normally, the lord of any territory should at least reach the advanced level of transcendence.
Counts like Earl of the Wolf and Viscount Brad would set aside time to hone their combat skills and even participate in battles.
Now let's look at our lord.
A few days ago, I asked him to join the cavalry training, but he preferred to lie on the rooftop enjoying the service of the maids rather than come down and stretch his muscles!
There are quite a few lords like this who don't like training, don't participate in combat, and have extraordinary levels but have never even held a sword.
For example, the Lord of the Valley.
To his left was the Wolves of the West North, and below him was the Frostfolk of the South North. With two powerful figures beside him, he felt incredibly safe.
This led the River Valley Territory to completely abandon the training of high-level legions, and instead spend its accumulated wealth indulging in a life of extravagance and debauchery.
but.
Even if their lord is a bit extravagant and lazy, Qi Feng's morale is not affected.
As far as Chiffon's soldiers were concerned, if their lord didn't want to fight, then so be it.
Why don't we sweep away Chiffon's enemies for him? Otherwise, how can we repay the great kindness bestowed upon us by the lord?
Now, the lord actually says he's going down into the mines to fight personally, which is somewhat overturning Karl's impression of the lord!
"grown ups!"
Karl finally managed to stop coughing, his face filled with panic and anxiety, his voice shrill.
"Are you kidding me? I don't recommend you go mining and fighting. Can't you just stay in the lord's manor and enjoy the flowers?!"
...
Richard was slightly taken aback.
Why?
Carl sighed.
"The gathering team is currently searching for the entrance to the thirtieth floor, and as you said, from the thirtieth floor onwards, it's all mid-level monsters."
"But you are currently... uh... you are currently only a beginner-level transcendent."
At this point, he lowered his voice, his tone becoming somewhat pleading.
"If you want to stretch your muscles, there are plenty of wooden training dummies in the training ground. The mine is too dangerous; you don't need to risk your life!"
...
Richard understood.
Raising an eyebrow, he deliberately asked:
"Do you think I'm so weak that I can't even handle monsters?"
Karl waved his hands frantically.
"It's not that we can't beat them!"
"It's unnecessary!"
"You are the backbone of Chiffon. If anything were to happen to you, wouldn't our hard-won territory fall apart?"
When Richard first went down into the mine, he only encountered low-level monsters. With a mid-level transcendent being by his side to protect him, nothing went wrong.
But things are different below the thirtieth floor. There are many intermediate-level monsters there, and their attacks are fierce. He dared not pat his chest and guarantee that everything would be foolproof.
If any monster were to sneak up on him, even if it was just a slight touch, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the Qifeng Legion and the other eight guards.
Richard was speechless.
He said in a slightly forceful tone:
"That's settled then. If you're worried, come with me."
The lord has made his decision.
It has to work out, even if it doesn't work.
Karl knew there was no way to change the outcome, so he gritted his teeth, pulled out a delicate little horn from his waist, and began to blow it.
The sharp horn sound instantly echoed throughout the entire camp, drawing attention to the location of the two individuals, both near and far.
Several soldiers ran up to Karl and asked for instructions. Karl nervously conveyed his intentions through gestures and explanations.
Not long after.
The situation inside and outside the base was in an uproar.
Im, who was leading the soldiers in anti-vertigo training, roared at everyone.
moment.
Hundreds of soldiers quickly threw down their training wooden swords, put on armor, changed into finely forged longswords, and assembled in the shortest possible time.
The sounds of clashing helmets and drawing weapons mingled together, creating a tense atmosphere as if they were about to engage in a life-or-death battle.
Remington, who was teaching everyone to read outside the camp, immediately dropped his chalk, picked up his longbow and quiver, and rushed into the camp, ignoring the stunned faces of the others.
Barrett, who was leading a few people to tame the monster troops, immediately gave the order to set off, leading more than a hundred monster troops to the outskirts of the camp.
Even Owen, who was in the mine, received the news. He told his wife a few words, then abandoned his work in the crafts department, grabbed the large machete that the blacksmith had just forged, and rushed over.
Upon hearing the news, the maids immediately abandoned their spatulas in the kitchen, their showerheads in the mansion, and their clothes on the roof.
They quickly donned their rapiers and, holding thick iron shields, stood expressionless behind Richard, lined up in a row.
...
Richard stood at the entrance of the lord's manor, looking at the crowd that had suddenly gathered before him, as well as the monster army that flew in the sky and crawled on the ground, and he was both amused and exasperated.
What is this?
The emperor personally led the expedition?
With this size, it's more than capable of invading some territories with weak combat capabilities.
He knew these people genuinely wanted to protect him, but this was going on far too much!
I originally wanted to show off my skills and test the combat power of my advanced combat physique with all the stat boosts.
result...
Seeing that they all had serious faces, he couldn't really say anything, so he had no choice but to agree to Karl's plan.
that's it.
Richard was surrounded by 380 soldiers, 8 guards, 7 maids, and 100 monster troops, and the entire extraordinary group set off towards the mine in a grand procession.
The spectacle was far more extravagant than any hunting trip by a northern noble. Serfs and people from literacy classes along the way stopped to watch, their faces filled with shock and curiosity.
...
The main force advanced to the thirtieth level of the mine.
The torches tied to the bodies of dozens of armored flying insects burned brightly, illuminating the dark terrain nearby.
The monster troops scouted ahead, followed closely by Karl's First Battalion.
The second and third battalions, commanded by Im and Remington, flanked the left and right, while Barrett's archer troops brought up the rear.
The maids raised their heavy shields and swords, surrounding Richard in the very center, completely sealing him off.
Everyone was on high alert, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily, searching for any intermediate-level monsters hidden in the darkness, barely daring to breathe.
I said...
"You don't need to be so nervous, do you?"
Richard tried to ease the tension, saying in a relaxed tone:
"They're just some mid-level monsters, they're not that scary. You don't need to be like this."
In response to his...
It was the resentful gazes of the eight guards and maids that sent chills down his spine.
Okay, okay!
As you wish!
oops...
Let's go!
I'll show you what the number one chiffon cake is all about in a bit!
