The middle-aged woman slammed her hand heavily on the armrest of the chair.
His cold gaze was fixed on his trembling son.
I wish I could beat this good-for-nothing to death!
After a long pause, I sighed softly in my heart.
He was, after all, her only son; how could she bear to punish him?
"I've already asked for help, and reinforcements will be arriving soon. We should be able to get through the remaining two months!"
With that, the woman waved her hand and said, "You may leave. For the next two months, you are not allowed to leave the castle without my permission."
The woman's tone became particularly stern at the end.
The Green Knife Gang is not just her personal force; she also needs to be responsible for her subordinates. If her foolish son does something stupid again, then he will have to give everyone an explanation.
However, the middle-aged woman felt a pang of regret when she thought about the price she would pay.
She's selling the treasure trove she discovered by chance decades ago.
It was a treasure hidden deep in the mountains that was discovered by chance decades ago.
Although she has only unearthed a portion of it and has yet to enter the core area, those gains have allowed her to smoothly cultivate to the pinnacle of glory.
When she first discovered that treasure, she was just a young girl who accidentally wandered into it during an adventure and found that it was a treasure trove.
There was also a corpse, and writing next to the corpse.
According to the contents of the text, the middle-aged woman realized that the place was actually a treasure trove that the Lily Kingdom had set up a long, long time ago, and it was also the tomb of the Lily Kingdom's kings after their deaths.
The corpse was that of the last king of the Lily Kingdom. Surrounded by the crowd, he fought his way out and used his last breath to enter this place, where he wrote this last letter.
The middle-aged woman used the treasures she found on the king to cultivate herself to her current level.
At that time, she was unable to enter the core area of the treasure trove because, according to the inscription left by the king, only those with royal blood of the Lily Kingdom could enter.
Others, unless they reach the title level, cannot force their way in.
The middle-aged woman originally harbored the idea of taking it a step further, reaching the title level, and taking over that treasure.
But as he got older, his progress slowed down, and he knew he would never have another chance to improve, and his son was a good-for-nothing, so he gave up on the idea.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought this treasure out for trade this time.
The Green Knife Gang was hoping for reinforcements, but Su Qing and his men were in no hurry.
Along the way, standing above the dark clouds, I maintained a very steady pace while studying the map in my hands.
Based on the information gathered so far, there are currently three factions on this land.
Dwarf Tribe, Elf Guild, Blue Blade Gang!
As their names suggest, the first two factions were formed by dwarves and elves respectively, and were quite powerful.
It is said that each of them possesses no fewer than five glorious peaks.
The Azure Blade Gang is the only human-based force capable of rivaling them.
Their strength is naturally not weak either.
Four glorious peaks!
They are slightly fewer in number, but stronger in individual combat, especially their regimental commander.
Although she was a woman, her knife skills were superb.
Then comes the important part: there are several treasures, whose origins are unknown, but which are said to be extremely powerful.
Of all the information collected, the only documented item was a skull.
Its ability is terrifying; it bites people, and those bitten will quickly become stiff, lasting for up to fifteen minutes.
Fortunately, the information also recorded that the skull appeared to be human, so it would only bite humans, and the stiffness effect would only be triggered on humans.
Su Qing couldn't help but sigh, wondering why she didn't have something so useful on her.
While the human body is stiff, he can steal everything from the other person and then run away. Once the effect wears off, the other person won't be able to catch him.
Cough cough!
Why am I filled with such wicked thoughts? My baby's heart is no longer pure!
Su Qing withdrew his attention and continued looking at the map. After flying forward for about half a day, he would reach the territory of the Green Blade Gang.
However, simply rushing over there doesn't seem to be very effective in providing reinforcements.
This battle will not be easy!
This time, the three-nation allied forces focused all their main forces on the Green Blade Gang.
After all, compared to human forces, attacking other races would easily provoke some old fogies.
Su Qing was considering whether to divert the trouble by involving the elves and dwarves. This would not only relieve the pressure on the Green Blade Gang but also confuse the battle situation and easily delay the war for two months.
However, this behavior is also very risky. The Elf Guild and the Dwarf Tribe are clearly just watching the show. If you drag them into this, a misstep could turn it into a siege of the Azure Blade Gang.
This is troublesome, since they came to provide reinforcements. It would be very embarrassing if they were to be betrayed.
If things really turned out that way, a fierce glint flashed in Su Qing's eyes. He could take care of the Green Blade Gang first, get a few pieces of meat, and he wouldn't lose out anyway.
Su Qing didn't care about the female lord's orders. He wasn't her soldier; their relationship was purely mercenary.
Since there are other ways to make money, there's no need to fixate on just one opportunity.
Having made his decision, Su Qing looked at the old butler who was with him: "I have some things to take care of. You take your men and go ahead!"
After saying that, Su Qing didn't wait for a response, picked up Chris, flapped her wings, and disappeared.
The old steward paused slightly, staring in astonishment at the dragon that had vanished without a word. After a brief hesitation, he did not follow, but instead led the others forward according to the original plan.
Before he arrived, the lord had already instructed him that no matter what the dragon did, their goal was to protect the leader of the Green Blade Gang and find out the whereabouts of the treasure and the old king's body from him.
"Hey, what weird thing are you planning to take me to do?"
Chris was being carried by one hand, his expression completely calm.
When Chris learned that he had been specifically chosen by the dragon to travel with him, he knew that the dragon must have something to use him for.
Su Qing glanced at him, a meaningful smile on her face: "Go do something great!"
"What?"
Chris was stunned, not understanding what a great thing was!
"Of course, we need to save the Green Knife Gang and make some money along the way!"
Su Qing's gaze sharpened slightly as she pondered the plan in her mind.
With a flap of its wings, it rushed toward a certain direction at an extremely fast speed, and according to the map, this direction was clearly toward the dwarf tribe.
