The Origin of Arcane

Bastille War Room.

Bastard! You bastard! A bunch of idiots! A bunch of trash! Old Bolton was furious, and slammed the commanding table.

Before this, Old Bolton had already made some mental preparations, but he didn't expect the situation to be worse than he expected.

A knight-level sharpshooter of the squadron is gone if he says he is gone. He has worked so hard and exhausted his efforts for thirty years, but now he is only a school guard. One-tenth of it is gone for no apparent reason. Both have liver pain, and now he has torn Benson's heart.

You have nothing to do here, Abel, take him to take a hot bath, have a full meal, have a good sleep, and be ready to die at any time. The well-dressed middle-aged man picked up the sheepskin scroll that old Bolton had thrown away, and brushed the dust off it gracefully.

Happy to help, sir. The old butler named Abel took the dusty sharpshooter messenger down. After serving in the Bastille for nearly 20 years, he naturally knew the name of Kleist in front of him. The speaking weight of middle-aged people.

Anyone who lives in Bastille knows that old Bolton has two right-hand men, Kleist the fox and Eriksson the bull. Keep an eye on.

Offending old Bolton would be a dead end. Those who make a living in Bastille are all desperadoes with their heads pinned to their waistbands. They take life and death lightly, but if you offend Kleist the Fox, life is often worse than death.

It is said that those half-fools, half-fools, half-humans, and ghosts on the streets of Bastille are all his masterpieces.

Kleist has not been with the old Bolton for a long time, only a short dozen years, but when it comes to the most trusted person of the old Bolton, there are no two people in Sherkest.

Even the old Bolton's sons never gained the trust of the old Bolton, and now 80% of Bastille's decrees are not in the hands of the old Bolton, but Kleist.

Kleist's life experience is also talked about, and the other party seems to have appeared out of nowhere. Some people say that he is from Vallettas, the capital of the Byron Alliance.

It was also said that he came from Twin Islands, which is the westernmost part of the mainland and tens of thousands of miles away.

Some said he was a rogue who had committed a crime.

It is also said that he is the heir of a great noble who failed in the struggle for power.

For the last point, everyone is quite convinced, because not only does he have profound knowledge, but he also has a perfect and impeccable aristocratic style. Without training since childhood, ordinary people cannot do this.

In the words of the nobles, the aristocratic temperament is revealed from the bottom of their bones. Even if they wear the clothes of the poor, their words and deeds are superior to others, and a poor man, even if he is dressed in the most luxurious clothes, is still a Xibei. .

Some of Kleist's behaviors also verified this in disguise. He likes others to call him Sir Kleist.

Sir Kleist's voice is very unique, every sentence has an aria, like an opera stage line: It is indeed crazy, but the other party has indeed caught our sore feet, he Ajel Clarke is nothing He is a great person, but we cannot ignore the fourth heir of the Faerun family.

Another person next to Old Bolton said with a look of disdain: The fourth in line bullshit, unless the three brothers above him are all dead, he will have his share. He is just an ignorant person. Now that the old duke is favored by the old duke, it's all mixed up with this virtue. Once the old duke is summoned by the Lord, he can live for three years. What's more, he is stuck in the mountains now, waiting for us to send troops to rescue them. Who are these idiots? What do you think? Ajieer is also considered aristocratic, and he is considered a soldier. How could he make such a low-level mistake? Now he makes such a nonsense suggestion? I really think those mountain people are a group of dough, let others squeeze it Round? Does he know how big the Andes Mountains are? How many mountain people are there in the Andes Mountains? Really angered them, let alone a mere school guard of them, even our Bastille was bitten by them A spit drowned out.

In the end, the sound was like thunder, almost roaring. This person was none other than Eriksson, another loyal subordinate of the old Bolton, the bull.

The man is like a nickname, both in height and width are far more than ordinary people, his whole body looks like piled up of muscle mass, and his leather armor looks like it will explode at any time. The most unique thing is his lush hair, plus Wearing a horned helmet, at a glance, it looks like a bull.

His nickname is not only derived from his appearance, but also because of his origin. Eriksson is not a Byron, but a cattle branch of the Odin orcs in the Odin Prairie outside the Broken Mountain Range. He is an out-and-out bull orc.

People who don't know orcs, when they hear the name of orcs, the first thing they think of is the image of various beasts. In fact, they are very wrong. Odin orcs, as the product of the crazy experiments of warlocks in the Andes Empire, used Ken The Tana barbarian was used as a template, and then savagely integrated the various natural genes of the beast.

Most of the Odin orcs still maintain 90% of the human characteristics, only a small part of the animal characteristics, and some of the hybrids have even lost the animal characteristics, except that the high points and strong points are not much different from the Byrons, which are used to distinguish their internal races The most important thing is not the appearance, but the racial talent, Eriksson's racial talent is - the strength of the bull.

Once activated, his strength increased by 30% in a short period of time. Don't think that the ratio is small. Eriksson is good at strength. Once his talent is activated, he is like a raging wild bull, unstoppable.

I don’t know whether it’s a coincidence or a necessity. People with more animalistic characteristics have stronger natural abilities, and vice versa. Therefore, Odin orcs have paid more and more attention to maintaining animalistic characteristics in recent years. Just like those nobles, they began to have a purpose Marriage is used to maintain the purity of the next generation.

It is a very strange thing for a pure-bred Odin orc to appear on the land of the Byron Alliance, especially if it is reused, it is even more strange. In the eyes of every Byron, the Odin orc is barbaric , Bloody, crazy synonymous.

Only dead Odin orcs are good orcs, otherwise even with shackles, Odin orcs are not safe.

Eriksson the Bull has followed Bolton for far longer than Kleist the Fox. When Bolton opened up the Bastille, he had already followed the other side.

If Kleist is old Bolton's think tank, Eriksson is the sharp sword in old Bolton's hand. He can strike wherever he points. Even after thirty years, he is still extremely sharp.

Kleist always had an invariable smile on his face, How does Your Excellency General think about handling this matter?

It's not easy, just pretend that this letter doesn't exist, and let those idiots fend for themselves in the mountains. The method given by Bull Eriksson was simple and rude.

In fact, it is basically impossible to hear advice that beats around the bush from his mouth. The IQ of most Odin orcs is below the passing line, because the warlocks of the Andes Empire regarded them as a kind of biological warfare. Machine made.

Those crazy warlocks think that the lower the IQ, the more beastly, the more brutal, and the higher the fighting power. This argument is not wrong. The Andis Empire was almost defeated by the backlashing Odin orcs back then.

If things were really that simple, Your Excellency the City Lord wouldn't need to be so angry. Whether it's the fourth heir of the Faerun family or Ajel, it's not scary. What's scary is the old duke.

Rather than refute Eriksson, Kleist the Fox, it would be more appropriate to tell the old Bolton, The old duke has been thinking about our Bastille for a day or two, but His Excellency the Lord has always been loyal, and the other party can't help it. Take it hard, if the fourth heir of the Phelan family dies in the mountains, and we ignore it, it will become a real excuse. At that time, the old Duke will propose to control the Bastille under his own hands. No one can pick out half of them.

Old Bolton's face changed, and he was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, You said this was deliberately set up by that old man?

The more you think about this possibility, the greater the possibility that the old thing that old Bolton said is not someone else, but the object of his allegiance. The supreme ruler of the Manyu army, the contemporary patriarch of the Faerun family, and the Duke of Faerun, Borg Slav Fei Lun.

Time can change many things. It can not only turn a strong young man into an old man, a warrior into a coward, but also a wise man into a fool.

The former desert lion has long since lost the heroism of the past, but his desire for power has never been weakened in the slightest, and has even become stronger, trying to control everything in his own hands.

For more than ten years, Man Yu's army leader has been in turmoil, saying that those local nobles rebelled, but Old Bolton did not see any local nobles who really became powerful, and it was more because those entrusted lands returned to Fei. In the hands of the Lun family, the Man Yu army is now leading an unprecedented centralization of power.

Unknowingly, Bastille has become the largest independent force outside of the Ferran family. Not only does it have the largest private army of nobles, but it also has a cornucopia of money pouring out of Bastille.

If the old Bolton was smart, he would hand over the Bastille and the military power in his hands, and be a lord who kept his own place no matter whether he went to the capital or the capital. The old duke would never be stingy with the title of a hereditary earl.

But power is not something that can be put down, especially since the Bastille was created by the old Bolton through hard work, and it is impossible to hand it over easily, even if the other party is his loyalist. Therefore, now the two sides The relationship is tense.

The Duke of Faerun has never used force against the Bastille, except that once he uses troops against the Bastille, it will have a certain impact on the slave trade and gladiatorial career of the Manyu Army. Another reason is that he has not found a suitable excuse.

Even if the Duke of Faerun is the supreme ruler of the Manyu army, if there is no legitimate reason, he cannot take back the entrusted territories casually.

If it goes too far, it will cause uneasiness among the local nobles, and it will be easy to unite and rebel, but it will be troublesome once they take refuge in other military leaders.

If the aristocratic forces of other military leaders intervene, there will be a war between the military leaders, or endless wrangling, whichever option is a big trouble.
