Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 146 The Second Son

Chapter 146 The Eighth Son

"Huh, hoh~ grunt" Stannis woke up choking on his own saliva, and found that he had slept on the sofa for more than two hours before he knew it, and it was time for lunch.

But there were people coming and going around, but no one told him when the Duke would meet him.

Stannis wiped his saliva, and flew into a rage, "Damn, this is too much! I am also a dignified earl, so don't think of me as a lord!"

But still no one came to tell him, Stannis angrily decided not to wait, and went to find a place to have lunch first.

Just as he stood up, the maid who received him at the beginning walked over quickly and smiled apologetically at him, "I'm really sorry, Sir Justin, I kept you waiting, and now the master can see you .”

Stannis was confused. It turned out that the Duke could see him any time.But she didn't have a seizure, but followed the maid up to the third floor, and then walked towards the depths of the mansion.

Guards were used to patrol from time to time along the way. Everyone was wearing the most sophisticated full-body plate armor produced in Drehem. Stannis was drooling enviously. It is worth more than the property that the lord himself buys all over his body.

After going around and around several times, they finally stopped in front of a half-open room. From the outside, this door was very simple, and it was a far cry from the splendor in the hall or corridor. do not.

The maid knocked on the door and said softly, "Master, Sir Justin is here."

A very young voice came from inside, "Come in."

Stannis frowned, he had heard the voice of the Duke, the person inside was definitely not the Duke!

The maid turned her head, smiled and said to him, "Please go in, Sir Justin."

"Isn't Duke Garcia inside?" Stannis asked in a low voice.

The beautiful flaxen-haired maid shook her head and answered him in the same low voice, "The duke has gone to the empire to attend the imperial council. Now my master, Sir Pedro, is acting as the acting duke to manage the affairs of the kingdom."

It turned out to be a deputy duke!Stannis was disappointed, but miraculously, he had information about the acting duke in his head. [Pedro Don Garcia] is the eighth son of Duke Garcia. He was originally unknown among the Duke's sons. The income of the Duke's territory soared by [-]%, and he became Duke Garcia's favorite son in an instant, and he was likely to become the next Duke.

After reminiscing, Stannis stroked his chin, this guy is worth cursing.

The maid carefully interrupted his memory, "Your Excellency, please go in, the master doesn't like to wait for others."

Not a big temper is not small!Stannis pushed the door open with disdain, and his face changed into a flattering face full of smiles almost instantly.

"Duke Garcia, let the little one congratulate here first... what's going on!"

The young man who was originally sitting behind the desk got up and disappeared from his seat the moment Stannis pushed the door open.

When Stannis captured the figure of the man again, he found that the man was already charging towards him with a sword in his hand. He was shocked to find that he had fallen into a trap, and he quickly reached for the sword at his waist to draw out his own defense .

But when he put his hand on the hilt, a beam of cold light had already touched his neck. It was a long sword as cold as ice, crystal clear all over, but Stannis was in no mood to appreciate it, because he knew that As long as the sword uses a little more strength, his throat will be cut.

But that moment never came, instead the owner of the sword started to speak.

"Fortunately, it's Stannis the 'Dragon Raider', who didn't even draw his sword when facing me. Did he already know that I was only doing this to test you?"

In fact, it was Stannis who didn't have time to draw his sword, but the other party thought so, so he pretended to be aggressive, shrugged and said, "That's right, there is no murderous look on your sword."

"Hahahaha!" The other party laughed loudly, and put the sword back into the scabbard, "You saw through it!"

Stannis breathed a sigh of relief, almost peeing in fear just now.Without waiting for the owner's consent, he found a place to sit down with weak legs.He couldn't observe the acting duke until the whole time. This young man looked to be the same age as himself. Contrary to his elder brother Junian, who was a knight, the whole black-haired man exuded a bookish atmosphere. , more like a scholar than a warrior.

"Then why are you here this time?" Pedro said straight to the point without any politeness.

Stannis took out the potion bottle containing the black liquid from his pocket and put it on the table, "Two weeks ago, my bachelor wrote to His Highness the Duke to report that there was a large-scale live sacrifice in my territory. "

Pedro nodded. He had read the letter, "I remember that a farmer and more than 300 goblins were dismembered and made into patterns, right?"

"But you didn't send anyone to investigate."

The acting duke said indifferently: "My father is busy with affairs, and the little things in your territory are really nothing. The cultists have always existed, and they are constantly wandering around the principality like guerrillas. , I always want to make some big news, if all the crimes they committed have to be investigated, I am afraid that my father will not be able to finish it even if he stays up all day."

Knowing that he would shirk responsibility, Stannis pointed to the vial with his finger.

"But this time it's different. It's not 'people' who do these things."

"Oh?" Pedro became interested.

"What you are seeing now is the instigator of this series of brutal murders - Chaos people, and these black waters are the evidence left behind after the death of those monsters." Stannis tried his best to make his words sound believable.

And the acting duke stared at the bottle with a solemn expression. After a long time, he finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahaha, I'm so sorry, Sir Justin, but I couldn't bear it anymore. Everyone said that the Draconian went crazy after that upheaval, but I didn't expect you to be so abnormal. Did you He wanted to tell me that the murderer who killed the people turned into black water after death, so I will be more interested in the next time it turns into green water! Hahaha!"

Stannis, who was ridiculed by the other side, did not have an attack. He knew that he would not believe such a thing if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

"I know you won't believe it, but by the time you do see them, it will be too late."
