Chapter 797: Bloody Day (Middle)

“Which of the twelve counts has the least servants?”Dudian asked Saul who was next to him. He had sent an invitation letter to the twelve counts but there was no reply, in the past three days there were only a few small nobles who came to seek refuge with Dudian. They wanted to be promoted to nobility and be rewarded with territory. Dudian didn’t care about them and let Saul temporarily settle down in a hotel near the palace.
“The least number of servants?”Saul was surprised. He didn’t think that Dudian would ask such a strange question. He already knew what Dudian was going to do but what he was going to do had nothing to do with the number of servants? He couldn’t figure it out, “Your Highness, as far as I know Count Hemin has the least number of servants. Count Hemin is eccentric and doesn’t like to interact with people. He rarely attends the banquet held by the nobles. Even the banquet held by the royal family often doesn’t come. In addition to him there is only one daughter left in his family. He doesn’t have many children…”
Saul was startled. He suddenly realized the purpose of Dudian’s question.
There weren’t many servants in the family. Dudian wanted to choose an earl who had fewer family members?
He looked at Dudian but only saw his side face. He was indifferent and didn’t have any sense of human feelings. There was an illusion in his heart. But soon he thought of Count Siming. Although he was eccentric.., but he was also a well-known count who was infatuated with his wife. His wife had died early and he had only left a daughter. He hadn’t married for the rest of his life which led to the lack of connections in the family.
His wife was an ordinary singer. In the past he had pursued his wife in spite of the rumors and became a legend of the bards. Later on his wife’s virginity was widely spread. He was a pitiful person.., was he going to be the first to die?
He sighed in his heart. He didn’t say anything else. Who wouldn’t be pitiful in the face of Death?
“Ximing…”Dudian whispered. He remembered the name. Two wings quickly grew out from the gap of the splitter’s armor.
Half an hour later Dudian came to a big city not far from the imperial city. There was a white flower flag on the high city wall. It was a kind of flower called ‘snowbird’. It represented the family of Count Ximing.
Looking from the sky, the city was not as dilapidated as other disaster cities.
Dudian flew into the city. Not long after, two figures suddenly flew in front of him. Both of them had strange wings on their backs. One of them had huge wings that looked like a butterfly. The other one’s wings were vibrating very fast, the thin wings were transparent and there were silver lines on the wings.
“May I know who you are?”The mature woman with butterfly wings asked Dudian carefully.
Dudian saw that the heat source reaction of the two was limited. However the magic marks were rare magic marks which had good life preservation ability. He didn’t slow down as he shouted: “Get lost!”
The expression of the two changed. The mature woman held back her anger: “This is the territory of Count Siming. If you want to visit, please report your life. We will help you…” She stopped as she saw Dudian didn’t slow down. On the contrary, a shocking murderous aura was emitted from him. She was so scared that she quickly dodged to the side.
Whoosh!
Dudian passed through the two’s bodies.
The two reacted when they saw Dudian’s back. They knew that they had derelict their duty. They looked at each other and immediately chased after him.
Although they were chasing but they felt that they were flying backward. They were getting farther and farther away from Dudian’s back.
A moment later, Dudian came to an old castle in the west of the city center. There were bustling streets ten miles away from the castle. However, there were vast fields and green hills near the castle, there were large orchards and manors. There was a large horse farm behind the castle. There were a few ant-like workers leading their horses on the green grass.
Dudian squinted his eyes as he saw the scene. If it wasn’t for the flag on the castle, he wouldn’t believe that this was the place where an earl lived. It was too simple, moreover the area of the huge horse farm required an immeasurable amount of wealth. But the feeling it gave was very primitive. It was completely different from the other nobles who lived in the Golden Zone.
Dudian dived down and landed in front of the main gate of the castle.
“Who? !”
“Who are you? How dare you!”
The guard behind the Iron Gate was frightened by Dudian who fell from the sky.
Dudian pushed open the iron gate. The lock creaked and the Iron Gate was broken. He looked at the guard behind the iron gate: “Is this the castle of Count Hemin?”
The guards reacted and pulled out their swords. They surrounded Dudian. The reason why they were shocked wasn’t because of Dudian’s casual display of power. After all, such power could be achieved by ordinary people, they didn’t think that someone would dare to intrude into the castle without saying a word. Even the big figures they knew wouldn’t do so!
“How dare he intrude into the castle! take him down!”
“Damn Kid!”
The guards immediately attacked Dudian.
Dudian frowned as he stepped forward. The magic wings on his back flashed and shadows flashed. The guards who were surrounding him froze in place and scattered into pieces.
Dudian followed the gravel path to the front of the castle. There were some maids who were holding quilts to dry in the manor. They were curious as they saw Dudian’s strange clothes.
“The defense is so weak…”Dudian’s eyes penetrated through the castle. He found that there was only one pioneer level heat source reaction. The rest were mostly hunters. There were only about twenty of them, it didn’t seem like the strength of an earl but it was in line with the criteria of his selection.
“Who is it? !”
A few knights rushed out of the castle. They were wearing heavy armor and looked at Dudian. They were the first to notice the unusual situation at the door.
“I want to see Ximing.”Dudian said.
“If you want to visit the Earl, you need to get his invitation or wait for us to inform you!”The Knights looked at Dudian coldly. If they didn’t feel that Dudian’s strength was unusual then they would have taken him down.
Dudian noticed that the only pioneer in the castle was aware of the movement and rushed over. He didn’t act immediately but quietly waited.
The knights frowned as they saw that Dudian didn’t speak. They slowly stepped forward.
Whoosh!
The castle’s gate was suddenly blown by the wind. An old man wearing a white robe floated out and landed in front of the Knights. He looked up and down at dudian. There was a trace of surprise in his eyes: “You Are?”
The knights behind him didn’t expect that he would be alarmed. They were surprised to see him using honorifics to dudian.
“Are you the only pioneer here?”Dudian casually asked as he looked at the old man.
The old man smiled: “I’m the only one here. I don’t know who you are. How come I’ve never seen you before?”
Dudian indifferently replied: “You haven’t seen me but you should have heard of me. Three days ago my invitation was sent to your Earl. He was invited to participate in my succession ceremony. Why hasn’t he replied?”
The old man was stunned: “You, you are…”
“Why? Didn’t he tell you about this?”Dudian looked at him.
The old man quickly replied: “No, no. The Earl has told me about this. It’s just that the Earl has been ill recently so it’s inconvenient for him to attend. Please forgive me.” There was a bit of cold sweat on his wrinkled face.
“I don’t want to talk nonsense. I came here personally so I want a satisfactory answer. Either Ximing will go to my succession ceremony to congratulate me and help me to arrest the traitor Ulita, or you can be the chicken in my hands. There is an old saying called ‘kill the chicken to warn the monkey’. It means to kill the chicken to show the monkey. It means to warn the monkeys who like to jump.”Dudian’s eyes were cold, now, let Ximing come out and give me an answer at once
