Since time traveling, Russell has never felt safe enough, especially after traveling to such a world with extraordinary power.
The snow demon is plundering and the dragon is roaring.
I was afraid that if I was not careful, I would be killed by some unexpected force.
People who have died once may be more afraid of death. When Russell discovered that there was an assassin, he was really scared and broke into a cold sweat.
The two loudmouths who tried their best finally made him feel relieved.
“You’re saying that Lone Wolf Lisbon is going to lure a group of snow ghosts and invade my territory to test my methods?” Russell sat down again.
After listening to Wanderer Catherine’s explanation, he couldn’t help but look at Eric and Charles, who was called later.
Eric muttered: “I’ve heard that Lisbon is a great ranger. They call him the Lone Wolf Boss in the Xiangshui River Cave.”
“Lone Wolf Boss Lisbon, well, I’ve heard of this name too.” Charles kept looking at Catherine, “As for this wanderer, he should be the Wildcat sisters, sister Katie and sister Catherine, they are all famous people. Woolen cloth.”
“Wildcat sisters?” Russell asked curiously.
Catherine was still tied up and sitting on the damp floor. The black scarf on her face had been pulled off, revealing her swollen cheeks.
But it can be seen that even if his face is not swollen, he still looks average.
He has pale skin and sunken eye sockets. He is not very old, but his two nasolabial folds are very deep, giving him the feeling of a drug addict.
“My sister and I are not willing to accept the rule of the lone wolf boss. The Xiangshui River Caves have always followed the principle of freedom. We can be rats in the underground world, but we do not want to be others’ slaves.” Catherine looked at Russell and said seriously.
Charles snorted: “You untouchables, what principles do you have? The life of a slave is better than yours.”
“You don’t understand what freedom is…” Catherine’s voice deepened, “Besides, we just don’t want to be slaves of the underground world.”
Hearing this, Russell raised his eyebrows.
However, no comments were made on this.
He just asked again: “The lone wolf Lisbon wants to lure the snow ghost to invade my territory. Why do you want to send me a message? Are you afraid that you won’t be able to get along with Lisbon after you go back, or you might just lend me my hand to get rid of Lisbon?”
“Behind you stands Baron Roman. We wildcat sisters just want to live well, and we also hope that your outstanding neighbor can live well.”
“Excellent neighbor?” Russell touched his chin, “Has my reputation as an excellent neighbor spread to the Xiangshui River Caves?”
How could he gain a reputation for excellence before he even showed off his talent?
Catherine’s answer cleared up his doubts: “There are not many lords who hire serfs to work and are willing to take care of the food.”
“Hmm.” Russell suddenly sighed.
It turns out that if you do this, you are already considered an excellent lord. Serfs and free people have really low requirements for lords.
He looked at Catherine and asked calmly: “How can I trust you?”
“I carry a letter written by my sister with me. I originally planned to stuff it in through the window. By the way… I could meet the new lord.”
Charles immediately took action and touched Catherine’s body several times.
“Don’t touch it… there is an inseam pocket at the knee!” Catherine blushed, and several slap marks became clearer.
“I want to make sure you are not armed.” Charles said sternly, and then he took out a folded letter from the inside of the knee of his tights.
Pass it to Russell.
After Russell unfolded it, he saw the crumpled letter written on the paper: “Dear neighbor, be careful of Lisbon, he will lure the snow ghost to invade the Black-rumped Snake Manor.”
The signature reads: “Your neighborhood wildcat.”
“Hiding the head and showing the tail.” Russell commented, regarding this letter and the Wildcat sisters, the methods were somewhat inferior.
Catherine defended: “We can’t afford to offend you or the lone wolf boss.”
After confirming that Catherine did not really intend to assassinate her, Russell suddenly lost interest and said, “Teacher Charles, please loosen her ties and pour her a glass of hot water.”
“Thank you.” Catherine took a deep look at Russell.
“Do you need a change of dry clothes?”
“No need to change. My clothes are made of velvet and close to the body. There is no leakage or water ingress.” Catherine pulled up the collar of her clothes and shook them quickly to remove all the water stains on the outer layer. “Besides, I am a ranger. It has Dou Qi body protection and can be worn even when wet.”
A ranger is a rogue, and different people have different names.
“Probably in the past few days, they have been preparing, and they must execute it as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the warm season comes, the threat of snow ghost invasion will not be great.”
There are no distinct seasons in Longmian Continent. The confrontation between the power of the snow demon and the giant dragon causes the ice age and warm season to alternate with each other.
Snow ghosts are rampant during the ice age, but they are much more docile during the warm season.
After all, the dragon’s power spreads underground in the Youguang Valley. If the snow ghost steps here in the warm season, its strength will be reduced by half.
“How many people are there in Xiangshuihe Cave?” Russell asked another question.
“About more than five hundred people. There is only one big ranger named Lone Wolf, five or six rangers, and some wandering spirits. The rest are poor people.” The wandering spirits are people who only breed the seeds of fighting spirit, similar to knights. The level of Qi.
“I see that the attitude of you wildcat sisters does not seem to reject me as the lord. So, why do you live hiding in the Xiangshui River Cave?”
Catherine lowered her head and smiled inexplicably: “No one can reject their origin. We have lived in the Xiangshui River Caves since we were young. As for you asking me why, I don’t know. Maybe the caves are dark and damp, but that is where I was born and raised. My place.”
Russell was noncommittal.
I had asked all the questions I needed to ask, so I stood up and said, “Do I need to arrange a room for you to rest?”
“No, if possible, please allow me to go back now. If I go back late, I may be discovered by the lone wolf boss.”
“How to go back? Do you need me to send someone to take you to the border?”
“If the lord trusts me, I can go back alone.” Catherine took a sip of hot water, feeling a little uneasy.
Don’t know how to be treated.
“Russell…” Charles wanted to say something.
Russell gently raised his hand to stop what Charles wanted to say, and looked at Catherine calmly: “When you go out, please take the main entrance.”
“good.”
After a while, Butler Morris, who looked confused, sent Catherine out of the door.
Without taking the umbrella Maurice handed her, Catherine rushed into the rain and disappeared on the charcoal trail in a moment.
“Russell, you shouldn’t let her go back like this. What the burrow pariah said is not credible.” Charles complained.
Russell smiled calmly: “It doesn’t make much sense to kill her or imprison her.”
Then he put away his smile and said seriously: “The most important thing now is, no matter what Catherine is telling the truth or a lie, we must be prepared for the snow ghost to attack. Teacher Eric, our current strength can handle it ”
Eric pondered for a moment and replied: “I’m afraid not, sir. It’s best to inform the Baron and ask Knight Commander Kendall to come and take charge.”
Territory Patrol Knight Commander Kendall is a Phantom Beast Knight.
With Kendall in charge, unless the Snow Demon invades in person, no matter how many Snow Demons there are, it will be difficult to shake the territory at all.
Charles nodded in agreement: “Yes, Russell, you can’t be aggressive about this matter. You should notify the Baron immediately.”
When it comes to life safety, Russell will naturally not act impulsively: “Okay, early tomorrow morning, I will send the knight’s retinue to the Phosphorus Castle to deliver the message.”
“Send someone now. Before that little wild cat goes back, let Knight Commander Kendall come over as soon as possible.” Charles shrugged, “Who knows if Catherine is a pioneer, what if there is a lone wolf Lisbon behind her. “
Russell was convinced.
Following the good advice, he immediately asked the butler Maurice to call the two knights’ retinues, Tom and John, and ordered them to hurry up and rush to the Fluorescent Castle.
The knight’s retinue left on horseback. Russell and others had no intention of sleeping anymore, so they simply played chess in the study.
“Russell, do you want to conquer the untouchables in the Xiangshui River Caves?” Charles looked at his words and had already seen some clues.
“It’s such an immature idea.”
“If you ask me for my opinion, I will definitely object. Untouchables are not a good breed. But if you really want to make this decision, I can only advise you to be cautious and carefully identify who among the untouchables has the same blood stains on their hands.”
Russell nodded, made a move, and then said calmly: “I will not act blindly, and… my goal is to completely solve the Xiangshui River Cave.”
