A dragon raised at birth

Then, in order to join in the fun, and even more to take advantage of the fire, the other duchies with legends also announced the ban on the Dimit Kingdom.

In the end, what made Dimit Kingdom feel angry and humiliated the most was that among the hundreds of countries in the southern border, those miscellaneous fish forces who dared to establish their own country without even a legend also participated in this carnival.

Yes, rave.As one of the largest powers on the Rodinian continent, the Kingdom of Dimit is also the number one regional hegemon in the world.

Therefore, the caravans and fleets of the nobles of the Dimit Kingdom spread all over the continent, and there are even caravans that go to the oceans to do business with powerful countries on the other side of the ocean.

But the Dimit Kingdom invested the most and spent the most effort in the southern part of the mainland, a chaotic place with fertile land and rich resources.

But this time, because the legends united to issue an announcement, many forces in the hundred kingdoms in the southern border began to invade and plunder the kingdom's industries in the southern border.

This was no less than an extremely heavy blow to the Dimit Kingdom. Almost all the nobles suffered heavy losses. Some nobles even lost their underwear during the turmoil.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine how angry the aristocracy of the Dimit Kingdom is now, but they can't find a place to vent their anger.

If the Kingdom dares to retaliate against the Principality of Elvis who first issued this ban, any noble with a little brain will know that the entire southern border will unite and fight against the Kingdom.

It is true that the southern border is a mess, but when they are really united, even an empire of such size will feel worried, let alone the Dimit Kingdom, which is only a regional overlord.

Therefore, the Dimit Kingdom, which suffered a big loss and was cut and bloodletted by a group of wolves, could only pretend to be dumb and kept silent. The verbal condemnation was meaningless and would only attract more ridicule. Retaliation is too risky.

"Is that a request? If it is a request, did the Grand Duke issue such a ban order?"

"I..." The cold sweat on Balote's cheeks dripped more frequently.

"Bart, rejoice! I covered up your existence. Although you have caused me a lot of losses, I know that the root cause of this incident is that the Kingdom has acted too domineeringly in the southern border of the mainland these years. This time, I just had an excuse to provoke It’s just a rebound, you’re just a fuse!”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding!"

"What's the use of me understanding you? You caused this incident. Do you know that if you let the nobles know that you caused this incident, you won't have a little blood relationship with you until the next morning?" People will be tortured by them until there is not even a bone left."

"Your Highness, please give me a way to survive, I am willing to do anything for you!"

Bart, who was a palace guard, trembled at this moment. He raised his head, looked at the noble existence sitting above, covered by the dazzling light, and couldn't even judge his face or gender, and prayed.

He knew very well that when the nobleman threw off the mask of camouflage on his face, how cruel and vicious the real face would be under the mask.

"I want you to continue to track down the whereabouts of the rebellious Kane, I must see his body."

"But Your Highness, the current southern border..."

"From now on, you are not from the Dimit Kingdom, you are a wandering warrior. To be conservative, I also contacted a master who will change your appearance. When you go to the southern border, there will be no Anyone recognize you."

……

In the city of Cecil on the Roman frontier, Diablo didn't know at this time how much commotion was caused by a legendary archmage who mistook him for the real Earl of Downton to wipe his ass.

In the final analysis, at this time Diablo has not really established his own power, has a stable information channel, and most of his knowledge of the main material world still comes from books, and the information in books, due to time and Due to the distance, there will be a considerable degree of distortion.

Well, even if Diablo knew about it, he would lament his good luck, praise the archmage who protected his shortcomings, and then continue to do his own thing.

"Madam, the Earl invites you to go there!"

Catherine, who was patrolling the brand-new streets covered with stone slabs, looked at the young knight who appeared in front of her as if teleported.

Although she wore a familiar face, she kept 12 cautious in her heart. This was not a knight under her husband's command, but a monster disguised as him.

"What's the matter with him?" Catherine's expression was cold and she remained calm.

She tried to send messages to the outside world, but no matter how she used the help and warning messages, the final result was nothing, and no response was received.

"Lord Earl decides to tell you the answer you've been looking for!" Baykar, the ice-cursed dragon disguised as a human, has a strange expression and is full of evil humor.

"Well, okay, I'll go there now!"

Her tone was as calm as possible, but Catherine's heart couldn't help but tremble. After explaining to the knight behind her who was sure to be human, she hurried to the castle.

"Downton!"

Going upstairs and entering the room, the sight that came into view was completely beyond the young woman's expectation - the translucent husband floating in the air, and the handsome young man sitting behind the desk and looking at her calmly.

Chapter 172 Dungeons and Dragons

"Catherine! Long time no see!"

The Earl of Downton, who was in a soul state, greeted the lady who entered the room with a complicated expression.Before he attended the Grand Duke's wedding, he never expected to meet his wife again, it would be like this.

"How did you become like this?"

Catherine, too, looked at her husband in astonishment like a ghost in one of those little nighttime tales that commoners use to scare their children.

Although she had already been mentally prepared for her husband to encounter an unexpected event, she never expected to see her husband again under such circumstances.

"It's a little troublesome to explain." Diablo interjected.

"Excuse me, who are you, Your Excellency? Are you pretending to be my husband during this time?"

Hearing Diablo's voice, Catherine turned her attention to Diablo who had returned to his original form. When she first met Diablo, the flawless and handsome face also surprised Catherine for a while, but after the shock However, Catherine felt vigilant.

Because of the limited range of activities, the most beautiful humanoid creature Catherine saw was a high elf with silver moon blood.That elf surprised the original Catherine.

She still remembers it fresh, but if she compares the high elf with the young man in front of her, the faces of the two are not comparable, and they are not on the same level at all.

But it is this overly perfect face that makes Catherine cautious. Appearance cannot be linked to strength, but when those powerful beings transform into human form, they choose a perfect posture that almost no human can achieve.

Therefore, the handsome young man in front of him may be the murderer of her husband.

"That's right, during this period of time, I disguised myself as your husband to transform the city!" Diablo looked at the countess in front of him and smiled. He admired this woman, especially her will.

Her tenacity of will is not unique, but it is also one in a million. If a person with a slightly weaker will is put in the situation she is facing now, I am afraid that she will collapse long ago.

The intimate husband, the loyal knight, were all replaced by an unknown terrifying existence, the whole city was under control, there was no one to communicate with, and there was no response to outside rescue, how hopeless?

But under such circumstances, this woman persisted, did not give in, nor was she discouraged, and tried her best to investigate the truth. Although a bit "stupid", it was this "stupid" that made Diablo want to kill her. Transform into your own dependents.

"What is your purpose? To replace Downton?" Catherine looked at the young man, recalling what happened when she involuntarily slept next to him a few days ago, feeling embarrassed.

"I called you here to tell you the truth. I did not cause your husband to become like this. It is thanks to me that he can appear here and communicate with you."

"Catherine, I was attacked on the way to the Grand Duke's wedding banquet, and all the accompanying knights fell, even me... If you hadn't met His Excellency Diablo, you wouldn't be able to see me now."

Seeing the suspicion and distrust in his wife's eyes, Downton spoke to strengthen the persuasiveness of Diablo's words.

For no other reason, at least his wife can't foolishly investigate this Lord Diablo. She thought she was doing it secretly, but in fact her every move was clearly seen.

"You are left with a soul now?"

Catherine looked at her translucent husband, and she could see the ornaments behind her through the translucent soul body.

"My body was ruined by the poison!" Downton's face revealed a gloomy look. If he hadn't been stabbed in the waist and injected with poison, he would never have fallen to the present situation.

"Your Excellency Diablo, isn't it!"

After a few simple exchanges with her husband, Catherine's gaze returned to Diablo.

"Well, it's me!"

"Thank you for saving my husband...soul."

Catherine paused, and then her face showed doubts, "But why are you pretending to be my husband?"

"Because I need an unobtrusive, ordinary identity, and your husband just lost his body, which is very suitable. So, after I communicated with him, that's it."

After Diablo's words came out, Earl Downton's face froze for a moment. Is he an ordinary person?

"Is that right?"

The countess looked at Downton.

"That's right." Downton nodded quickly. As a husband, he knew what his wife would think, so he continued,

"You don't need to suspect that His Excellency Diablo planned this attack. With his strength, there is no need to use such a small trick."

Catherine was silent there, while Diablo watched and shook his head. Downton, who had become a ghost, hadn't realized this yet. His wife didn't trust him at all, and the young woman was very vigilant at this moment.

"Just chat here, I'll go out first!"

Diablo stood up, deciding to allow the couple to have a private conversation.

Bang!

When the door was closed, only the Earl of Downton and his wife Catherine were left in the study room in a state of soul, and the space suddenly fell into silence, and no one spoke.

"Catherine!"

Downton, who had been holding back in the ring for a long time, couldn't bear it any longer. He floated towards the expressionless blond young woman, but what he didn't expect was that what he greeted was not a caring greeting, but a warning.

"stop!"

Fierce battle energy like a raging flame gushed out of Catherine's body, enveloping her body in an instant.

"If you dare to approach me again, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Catherine, what's wrong with you? I'm Downton! Why are you doing this to me?" Earl Downton finally realized something was wrong at this moment.

"Do you think I will trust you easily?" Catherine's voice was indifferent. Just now, a powerful being admitted to pretending to be her husband in the past month.

And now, a ghost with the same appearance as her husband claimed to be her husband, and tried to convince her, what are you kidding?Treat her like a mindless idiot?Trying to fool her over and over again.

"I……"

At this time, Downton finally understood that because of Diablo pretending to be him, there was a crisis of trust between the husband and wife at this time, and he had to find a way to prove his identity.

"Catherine, do you still remember our first meeting? On the banks of the Rhine, the soft morning mist drifted..."

And just as the Earl of Downton recalled the past with his wife and wanted to regain trust, the instigator leisurely came to a huge underground palace under construction.

"How is the completion of the project?"

At this time, Diablo, who was emitting a bright light, looked at the earth dragon that seemed to be made of rocks in front of him, and asked casually.

"According to your plan, the second phase is about to be completed, and we are ready to enter the third phase."

In addition to the almond-shaped light yellow dragon pupils that can tell the biological characteristics, the thick layer of rock armor on the body will make people mistakenly think that it is the mouth of a dragon that is a special elemental creature.

"Well, not bad, the action is quite fast!"

Hearing the answer from the earth dragon, Diablo nodded with satisfaction. He replaced Earl of Downton and took over the territory. Out of the farming instinct rooted in his soul, he wanted to vigorously develop Earl of Downton's territory.

After all, Downton is a border aristocrat with the right to open up the outside world, and his potential is not bad. As long as he has enough strength, the territory can continue to open up.

But Downton's obvious strength is also there, and Diablo can't go too far in a short time.But for those dragons under his command, if they are allowed to idle and do nothing, it will not only be a huge waste of dragon power resources, but also cause unpredictable harm.

Therefore, when Diablo made the city model, he had a solution.The population composition of a city is divided into fixed population and floating population.

There are only a few types of fixed population growth, and there is nothing to think about.The floating population is nothing more than passing caravans and adventurers, and they are a very important source of finance for a territory.

However, the Dirkmark collar is not very attractive to the floating population, and it cannot retain people at all. The Dirkmark collar itself has no special products, and the caravan passes by for supplies, and then enters the territory of the Principality of Elvis to do business.

For caravans, this is a transit stop.The only thing Diablo can get from them is tolls, which is not enough.

There is nothing to do about it for the time being, and the most floating population is adventurers. These guys who chase legends and treasures are unstable factors for a territory, but they are also the most important source of finances.

But it's the same with the caravans, most of the adventurers pass by the Dickmark Territory.Because there are no famous treasures and prehistoric relics in this territory, and the surrounding beasts are nothing special.

Therefore, Diablo, who became the lord, naturally wanted to solve this kind of problem. It doesn’t matter if there are no relics, you can build it yourself, build a maze, who wouldn’t?

"Hey, Lord Diablo, if your request can be lowered, it's all finished now!"

When the earth dragon heard Diablo's words, it let out a laugh that made the earth roar and shake.

"Reduce the requirements? Yes!" Diablo looked at the giant dragon in front of him with playful eyes, "As long as you don't dislike it, that's fine."

"What do I dislike?" Kesentan, the dragon of rock who can induce the power of the earth, was a little confused.

"After the construction of this underground palace is completed, you will guard it in the deepest part. This is your dragon's lair. If you are willing to simplify it, I don't care."

Diablo threw out a word lightly, and the eyes of the rock dragon immediately lit up,

"My lord, this underground palace you designed is a dragon's nest for me?"

"It's mainly to attract adventurers. By the way, I let you live here. It's not wrong to say that it's your dragon's lair!" Diablo said lightly.

"Master Diablo, this labyrinth only has seven floors, is it a little less? Do you want to add a few more floors?"

After knowing that he was not working for others, but building a dragon nest for himself, the tone and attitude of the rock dragon Kesentan were completely different.

"If you want to add you, you can add it yourself."

Diablo was too lazy to worry about it. Designing an underground palace was too tiring. His purpose was to attract adventurers. A dungeon inhabited by dragons was enough for adventurers who heard the news.
