Chapter 1140 The Downtrodden Duke

Since Tang En took control of Blood Rock City, a large amount of materials have been transported from Ellington's teleportation array, and then flowed into the market in a stable and orderly manner under the control of the military. Therefore, the surviving residents of Blood Rock City have been For the first time, I ate fresh vegetables and fruits in the cold winter.

Ellington's greenhouse cultivation technology has been promoted in the Illus Empire. Now there is a large amount of vegetables and fruits produced in winter. After meeting the needs of the main market, it does not hurt to transport some to Grace. Said that because these delicious and fresh vegetables and fruits allowed the residents of Blood Rock City to have a dreamlike winter and made their hatred of the Illrus Empire slightly lessened - when Stanley was in power, the slogan shouted It is quite loud, but the quality of life of Grace people has not changed much.

And Tang En had just taken over Blood Rock City, and the quality of life of the residents in the city had immediately changed significantly. There was no need to think about who could bring them a better life.

There are a few taverns sparsely opened in a narrow alley. Ever since Stanley forcibly recruited half a million young men to join the war, there are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Blood Rock City. Naturally, the business is not much better, and the business is deserted. The door is empty.

In one of the taverns called "Blood Roar", there were a few people sitting sparsely. At a glance, most of these people were missing arms and legs. They were obviously veterans of Grace who had retired from the battlefield.

With a soft "bang" sound, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and a figure walked into the tavern wrapped in a cold wind.

The man walked up to the bar and slapped a silver coin on it: "Here's a cup of the most powerful Hell's Blood Roar."

The boss put away the silver coins, looked at the visitor in surprise and said, "Captain Mullen? Didn't you go to war with Baron Owen? Why are you okay..."

All the people participating in the war have been arrested and sent to undergo labor reform, but Captain Mullen has not been sent away?

Even though he didn't go to the battlefield with Baron Owen, the city defenders were still arrested. Why was he fine?

It’s scary to think about it...

Maren smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it... I just want to get drunk and rest."

"Really? Then I have to recommend this wine to you. The strongest wine now is not Hell's Blood Roar, but Tang Dynasty Hero Wine. It is the top-quality liquor just shipped from Ellington. The weather is coming One cup is the best.”

Seeing that Maren didn't want to talk more, the boss didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he took out a 125ml bottle of Datang Hero Wine for him.

"That's all?"

Maren frowned: "Boss, are you cheating on me?"

"Forget it if you don't want it!"

The boss said angrily: "I am giving you this preferential price for the sake of old customers. For others, this small bottle would cost at least 5 silver coins."

Such a small bottle of wine actually costs 5 silver coins! ?

Malen glanced at the customer next to him, and the man nodded: "The boss didn't lie to you, it's indeed the price."

But this is also ridiculously expensive!

If it were the past, one silver coin would be enough for him to drink three glasses of Hell's Blood Roar!

Malen frowned and unscrewed the cap and took a sniff. The fresh and sweet aroma of the wine in the bottle made his eyes light up. He couldn't wait to take a sip. He felt a fresh and soft wine slip into his mouth. Passed through the tongue and flowed into the throat. Before he could savor the aftertaste, the liquid suddenly turned into a line of fire, and his stomach seemed to rise like a blazing flame. Malen's forehead suddenly broke out in sweat. , the chill on my body was directly driven away, and I only felt warm.

"Really good wine!"

Maren was pleasantly surprised and took out another 10 silver coins: "Give me two more bottles! I want to drink to my heart's content today!"

"Sorry, I'll sell you one more bottle at most."

The boss picked up 5 silver coins and pushed the rest back to him: "Because this wine was very popular as soon as it came on the market. Now it is out of stock. I don't have much here."

After a pause, the boss continued: "In addition, if you have extra gold and silver coins at home, use them as soon as possible. The city government has issued an announcement to start recycling gold, silver and copper coins and replace them with Purandal coins. Banknotes issued by the central bank.”

"Bills?"

Malen savored the taste of the Tang Dynasty Hero Wine carefully, exhaled after a moment, and said: "I have heard that even the Ren Empire has begun to use this currency. It is said that it is easy to carry, water-resistant and fire-resistant, and it is also Can prevent counterfeiting.”

"Yes, it would be a good thing for us to switch to banknotes."

While the two were chatting, there was a sudden discussion next to them, which attracted their attention.

"Have you heard? The Lord of Black Mountain City, Lord Kurt Everett, has sworn allegiance to that man..."

The man who had just spoken to Mullen shook his head and couldn't help but say: "In fact, it is not only the lord of Black Mountain City, but also the lord of Deadwood City, Marquis Ivan Joyce, and Marquis Bartholomew Coffel of Hammer City. Bertram Darnley, Marquis of Salt Lake City, and more than a dozen marquis and city lords all swore allegiance."

"Oh my God! So all of our major cities in Grace have fallen under his actual control? Are they not going to resist?"

"Resist? What are you using to resist?"

The man sullenly took a sip of wine and said in a low voice: "Don't you know it? Now going south from Salt Lake City, there is nothing on the Whistling Plateau, not even a blade of grass grows!"

"What!?"

"It is said to be the power of the legendary spell. Because Stanley angered that person, he directly released the legendary spell and destroyed everything there to deter that bastard Stanley——"

"Shh! Although Stanley is dead and the weather has changed now, it's better not to scream."

"Hey, what am I afraid of with my old bones?"

The man didn't take it seriously. He grabbed a piece of grilled and oily steak and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it. After taking a sip of wine, he continued: "Although I don't know if it's true or not, I heard this time There are only fourteen city lords in total who have come to Blood Rock City, and including Blood Rock City, we in Grace may only have these fifteen big cities left."

The people nearby were horrified to hear that a dozen cities and tens of millions of lives had disappeared so suddenly?

"Cruelous is no longer enough to describe that person, right?"

"Cruel?"

The man burped and laughed drunkenly: "You still don't know what happened in the castle."

"What happened in the castle?"

"Tang En...well, I should call him Your Majesty Tang En. I'm really not used to it," the man sighed. He wanted to drink to moisten his throat, but suddenly found that there was no wine. He touched his pocket and sighed secretly. , then he pointed in the direction of the castle, "His Majesty Tang En may have disclosed to them the things found in the castle in order to make those city lords surrender as soon as possible. Hey, what do you think they found in the castle?"

Even Maren and the tavern owner were attracted. Maren leaned over and asked, "What did you find?"

The man glanced at him and sneered: "It's so rare to find a healthy adult man."

Maren frowned, took out a gold coin and patted it in front of the man: "I'm treating you today. Drink as much as you want. Please tell me quickly."

The man saw the gold coins and then looked at the tavern owner.

The tavern owner was quite good at it. After putting away the gold coins, he directly brought him a large plate, several glasses full of Hell's Bloody Howl, and a bottle of limited-edition Tang Dynasty Hero Wine.

"Hey, the Tang Dynasty Hero Wine is good, but it's a pity that I can't drink it to my heart's content."

The man picked up the wine bottle, wiped it, and carefully stuffed it into his arms. Then he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, which whetted the appetites of Maren and the others before continuing: "They found the body. "

"Tsk, it's just a corpse..."

The man said coldly: "Those corpses are all our former queens."

A cold wind blew, and the temperature in the tavern seemed to drop a few degrees in an instant. These people suddenly remembered one thing. The new queen Stanley married would often disappear from everyone's sight soon, at most for a short time. In two years, he will marry a new queen, but those disappeared queens have never been seen again...

"They were all killed. Stanley, who is worshiped by you... His Majesty Stanley... haha..."

Thinking that he had personally sent his daughter into the arms of that demon, the corners of the man's eyes were a little moist. He wiped them away as if nothing had happened, and then continued to drink.

"But," the tavern owner couldn't help but ask, "even the queen's body can't be a weight to convince those city lords, right?"

"Of course not."

The man shook his head and continued: "But what is announced next is enough to destroy Stanley's prestige in their hearts."

Maren frowned: "Don't tantalize your appetite, what exactly was found in the castle?"

"Magic circle."

The man said slowly: "The magic circle that summons the devil... Our Majesty Stanley summoned the devil and made a deal with the devil."

demon!

Everyone was shocked. The king they worshiped and trusted actually summoned a demon! ? And made a deal with the devil! ?

"Those little queens, I'm afraid they are all victims of this deal. The pillar of blood you saw that day was caused by His Majesty Tang En's destruction of the magic circle."

The man said in a hoarse voice: "A huge blood pool was dug out in the basement of the castle. There were countless blood and bones in it. The hearts of the queens were dug out by Stanley and used in the devil's magic circle..."

An extremely terrifying scene seemed to appear in front of everyone's eyes. Blood donation Linlin's heart was dug out from the chest of the immature little queen by Stanley, and then placed on the magic circle to be sacrificed to the devil...

Maren trembled, and then looked at the man in great horror: "Who are you? This kind of news cannot be known by a down-and-out homeless man!"

"tramp……?"

The man looked down at himself, then shook his head and smiled bitterly. He looked almost like a tramp now: "Well, a tramp will be a tramp..."

Maren stared and carefully observed the man's slightly older face, messy hair, sunken eye sockets, and sunken cheeks...

Suddenly, Mullen shuddered, and the face of the homeless man in front of him overlapped with that of a person. He exclaimed in surprise: "Your Majesty Duke Felton!?"

"No, you got the wrong person. I am Just the homeless man. I'll treat you to the rest, so don't waste it."

After Just Felton drank all the wine in the glass, he waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the tavern.
