Night, deep night. The red moon had long since set, but the white moon was hanging high. In the middle of Iron Blood Castle, there was a deep silence, not even a little noise.
The lights, long after the red moon had gone down, had been extinguished. Unlike Fire Flare City, Iron Blood Fort was a city with a military management system. Almost, all the people were soldiers. It was conceivable how powerful it would be if it really fought. Of course, this was the only reason why it wasn't subjected to riots.
And the lord of Fort Ironblood, Geli and Carey's uncle, Mindy. He was more of an iron-blooded tough guy, with muscles that looked like they were made of steel. Under the light of the magic lamp, it looked a little shiny.
The low and husky voice sounded even more of an extraordinarily vicissitude. Nearly two metres in stature, with a fire element so thick that it could ignite anything around him.
Definitely a Demon Emperor level expert, and, even amongst the Demon Emperor level, it was already considered to be someone at the forefront.
The square face revealed a military aura. There was no extra approach to Geli and Carey, even these two most inherited people were somewhat curt in front of him.
The reception banquet still needed to be set up, and Mindy sat directly in the first place. Firstly, he swept aside all the people in the room with his cold eyes, and finally, he even stayed on Lin Peng's body.
That kind of sharp eyes like an eagle's made Lin Peng very uncomfortable. However, he had no intention of dodging either. Surprisingly, he also responded coldly, seemingly, with a hint of killing aura.
Although Lin Peng hadn't killed any people, but, he still knew a little bit about that kind of fury. After the two looked at each other like this, directly staring at each other for about ten minutes, they finally stopped amidst Ming De's loud laughter.
'You, very ballsy. I like this kind of character of yours, haha ... unlike these two nephews of mine, one is too feminine, and one, too utilitarian. Haha ... Well, why don't I accept you as a disciple. Seeing that you are also a fire attribute Demon King level expert, it seems that, you are still very young. Haha, if not bad!'
The moment these words came out, Geli was immediately turned as pale as a piece of pig's liver. Kerry, on the other hand, was looking at Lin Peng somewhat strangely. I heard that amongst Dark Moon City, this Lin Peng was the real staff officer ah.
Most of the things were planned by this guy.
Into the mouth of Ming De, how did he turn into a hoary man again?
Lin Peng and Shia looked at each other, and there was actually a strange look in their eyes. After slightly freezing for a moment, he arched his hand towards Ming De and laughed, ''I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be your disciple yet. Oh, look, the expression on your Excellency Geli's face, but can you really kill me?'
As he spoke, Geli also realised that he seemed to have gone too far. Immediately, he collected himself and turned towards Mingde still with that smirk on his face.
Mindy grunted and slammed the table, 'Geli, lately you've gone a little too far. Kerry, as your big brother, is being suppressed by you. Two brothers, are two brothers. No matter what kind of thing it is, you can't be suspicious of each other. Hmph, otherwise, Brother Jerry and I, will fix you!'
Between the words, those accompanying officials were all stunned. It seemed that the current Jerry was very fond of Geli, right? However, there was really no intention of suppressing Kerry.
Then, listening to what Mindy said, it meant that the current two hadn't really come up with a successor candidate yet?
All of a sudden, there was a burst of intrigue circling throughout the banquet. Only that Troll War General, it seemed like he would never care about these things. Still blindfolded, he ate his own food, seemingly, not hearing those words at all.
Ming De turned, once again, to Lin Peng. And it was also at this moment that a dark light suddenly appeared in the middle of the banquet. It shot violently towards Geli, with an extremely fast speed. In just the blink of an eye, it had actually reached his eyes.
Snapping ...
The black light seemed to be immediately interrupted, and surprisingly, it directly snapped open from it. With a bang, the people in the surrounding ten metre range were all tipped over.
Of course, Geli was even bounced out and hit a large pillar. With a poof, he spat out a mouthful of blood. After interrupting the black light, the Troll War General looked towards the outside of the banquet hall with cold eyes.
And it was at this time that there were several black lights shooting towards the inside. Compared to the speed just now, it was a little bit slower, however, it was still considered very fast.
Moreover, surprisingly, one of them was still shot towards Lin Peng.
There were a total of ten or so black lights, however, the power was really too poor compared to the ones just now. The corner of Lin Peng's mouth hooked, and after a cold snort, he fiercely extended his hand with flames and grabbed the black light.
And it was only until then, after the black light dispersed that it could be discovered that it was actually an extremely small and refined black arrow.
'Archer?' Lin Peng was slightly stunned and looked towards the outside in some confusion. Ming De slowly stood up and walked towards the outside of the banquet hall.
The Troll War General, as well as Lin Peng, also stood up.
When Ming De walked to the middle of the banquet hall, a person wearing a black cloak appeared in the doorway. The entire face seemed to be hiding under the cloak, with a pair of black leather boots. The entire person looked as if he was hiding in the darkness.
Mindy frowned and grunted, 'Dark Ranger Fario, are you declaring war with me?' That icy voice seemed to chill people like flying snow in December.
However, the archer on the opposite side seemed even colder. A pair of red eyes flashed out from the darkness under the cloak. After sweeping the entire hall in a circle, a cool voice appeared, ''Mindy, if it wasn't for this guy, our Punishment City wouldn't have helped those people from the Red Demon Territory. Hmph, I can't imagine that this guy, even dares to pit against the Blood Knights.'
Pointing at Geli, who had just been helped up by one of the Guardian Knights, Fario's voice that seemed to carry a murderous intent made everyone hear what was going on.
Every year, the people of Penalty Sin City would come out once to buy some needed items. And the people knew that there was no source of goods in the middle of Punishment City.
Moreover, those merchants didn't dare to risk going to Penalty Sin.
Basically, they all sent out their own people to make purchases. Because of the barrenness of the land, there was even less to say about any food. And among the Red Devil Territory, there had always been fixed-point merchants who traded with Penalty City.
Of course, it was Jerry who controlled it. Every year, a small amount of something would be given to Penalty City. Then, it allowed the people of Penalty City to obtain even more of the required food and such on their own.
However, this time, what the people really didn't expect was that it was Geri who made a big riot in the south-eastern territories from it.
Listening to Fario's words, that is to say, this riot was made by them.
Mingde stared fiercely at the somewhat shrunken Geli, while Kerry, on the other hand, was somewhat gloating. On the contrary, it was Lin Peng, who furrowed his brows, and after contemplating for a while, he said, 'It's a loss at Arthur's hands, isn't it?'
At once, Fario froze and turned, glancing at Lin Peng somewhat strangely.
'I'm from Darkmoon City, huh, but I don't have the slightest relationship with this scum. Although Punishment City is a city of scourge, however, it should have the qualifications to survive. Moreover, what I admire the most is a ranger like you guys. Haha ... when you are not used to the order set by others, you should break such an order.'
Saying that, he actually laughed out loud.
Mindy looked at Lin Peng with some surprise, and then, the corner of his mouth hooked with some smile as well. As for Geli, he even looked at Lin Peng with malice.
'Since it's a declaration of war, we'll take it. Oh ... it's been a long time since we fought with the people of Penalty Sin City, and it's also a good time to take advantage of this opportunity to have a really big battle. Falio, you Penalty Sin, will you take it or not?' Under that aggressive look, Fario let out a cold grunt, 'This time, it's us, Penalty Sin City, who declared war with you. Hmph, when the time comes, we'll see the truth underhand!'
Saying that, he directly made a turn and instantly disappeared into the darkness.
After such an episode, the banquet basically had no desire to continue. One by one, they all walked towards their own residence in deep thought.
After not bringing up the matter of accepting disciples once more, Lin Peng also planned to bolt. Not long after he had just come out, he saw Carey. This fellow, also with his head lowered, was walking towards his residence with a contemplative look.
After a plan flashed faintly in his head, Lin Peng hurriedly rushed up with big strides, 'General Carey, please stay?' When these words came out, Lin Peng almost froze for a moment.
It seemed that, in that heirloom book, there was a character who had killed an unknown number of people with this stay-behind phrase.
Carey froze, then frowned and asked somewhat tentatively, 'What? Could it be that Staff Officer Lin Peng has any good ways to help me?'
Saying so with his mouth, Carey's heart was somewhat secretly hating it: this time, even if he was being used, he definitely wanted to straighten out Geli to turn over.
Lin Peng slightly nodded his head, said softly and softly: 'Very simple, from today's matter, I believe, at least slightly do some articles. It seems that Gree's reputation should immediately become worse! 嗯... Also, a person like Geli can't stand to be provoked the most, so at least slightly provoke him. I wonder, will he want to hit the head. Hehehe, the people of Penalty City, but they want him dead, huh?'
Carey's eyes lit up and he nodded. The original previous clause, he had thought of it. When it came to the latter one, he hadn't really thought of it. Turning, once again, he looked at Lin Peng with hope in his eyes.
'As for the Mingde City Lord's side, I will surround myself. Oh, at that time, I'll see if I can help you pull in General Mingde. If you have his support, do you think, your hopes are greater, or his?'
For a moment, looking at the somewhat shady Lin Peng, Carey actually felt like a confidant. After the two of them discussed once more, they both went back with satisfied smiles.
Of course, the current Carey was stupefied. Although Ming De was somewhat fond of Lin Peng, it seemed that it was still not up to Lin Peng to sway the affairs of their own family, right?
After all, he was from Dark Moon City!
