The Prince family also has a manor in Dandy Town. It is at the highest point of the town, and the family flag fluttering at the gate of the manor can be seen from afar.
Medicinal gardens can be seen everywhere in and around the town.
The outer medicinal gardens are vast and flat, stretching as far as the eye can see, with different colors dotted on the snow-white ice field, of course, mostly green.
The land in the town has also been utilized. This is a typical country town, with small and cozy houses with pointed roofs and large courtyards. Unlike other towns, these courtyards are not planted with flowers or grass, but with ordinary medicinal herbs.
The residents of the town are all good at growing medicinal herbs, both ordinary herbs and magical plants. Although most of them are ordinary people, they can also take good care of magical plants by using alchemical tools.
Almost all of them are employed by the Prince family, and have made a living from this for generations.
Walking on the streets of the small town, the air you smell is filled with the slightly bitter scent of medicinal herbs.
There are many small towns like this within the territory of the Fifth Wizard Tower.
"Thank you for bringing me the precious materials." Yang said enthusiastically, "It's getting late. Let's rest at the manor tonight. How about returning tomorrow morning?"
Yolande smiled and replied, "It's time to return. We've accepted a mission for the Undead Swamp on the way. We'll bother you tonight and leave for the swamp tomorrow morning."
Yang showed a surprised look: "Undead Swamp? Why did you accept the mission there?"
Yolande explained: "We don't go inside. We just patrol the perimeter."
Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, that's not bad."
The two of them acted very well.
The task of transporting the items was issued by Yang.
But Ash was sure that the box Yolande gave to Yang did not contain any precious materials.
I'm just using this mission to give them a reason to come and meet me.
Yang knew that the real purpose of their trip was not to transport items or to go to the Undead Swamp, but to wipe out a group of human trafficking organizations in one fell swoop.
It was Yang who invited them to come and help.
But at this time he looked as if he knew nothing... Ash looked around casually, as if he was looking at the scenery of the town. Could it be that there were enemy spies nearby?
Yang, as the young master of the Prince family, was kidnapped and then sold to Rachel as experimental material, which in itself shows that someone secretly wants to harm him. Otherwise, why would the mysterious organization leave so many wizards without backgrounds alone and touch a young master of a potion family?
This enemy may even come from within the family.
Otherwise, Yang would not have contacted Uncle Meng and asked them for help.
Wouldn’t it be better to just use the family’s power to solve the problem?
Ash walked to Sigourney, touched the back of her hand, and told her his guess through mental communication.
In fact, there was no need for him to share this kind of obvious thing with Sigourney. But... well, he wanted to try mental communication again.
I am the only one in the world who can hear your voice...
Ash blinked, and dimples slinked out.
Sigourney: “…” I knew that once Ash learned mental communication, he would be curious about it for a long time.
He replied lazily, "Yeah."
Then she grabbed him and touched his fingertips on the back of his hand, and glanced over coldly: "Today's spiritual communication quota has been used up. Now, spiritually speaking - shut up."
Ash looked down at his joined hands, then looked up again and gave Sigourney a smile, winking silently and nodding.
I would be very satisfied.
Ivan and Yelena were so engrossed in watching Yang and Yolande's performance that they didn't notice this side.
Only Quentin was bored and looked around, and accidentally noticed the hands of a vampire and a human holding together.
Quentin: “…”
Fall! Fall!
shame!
No dignity!
It will be over sooner or later!
The town is not big, and Yang didn't even arrange a vehicle to pick them up because there was no need for it.
They walked up the stone path and soon arrived at the gate of the manor. Two warriors wearing armor and helmets stood on the left and right of the gate, standing straight and motionless, like two stone statues.
As they approached, they held the long swords at their waists with their right hands, saluted respectfully with their left hands, and uttered a hoarse and short voice: "Welcome."
Ash looked towards the two men in confusion, sensing that something was wrong.
"It's a Skeleton Guard." Yang introduced, "They are very common in the Pale Throne."
Skeletons, undead, death knights... These magical creatures are not common in other thrones, but they are extremely common in the Pale Throne. Putting aside their weakness of being afraid of light, their fighting qualities of not fearing death are top-notch among magical creatures and are very popular among wizards.
Ash had known about this before, but now that he was in close contact with these undead races, the feeling was very different from when he had read about them in books.
Amazing magic world.
Ash sighed again.
Everyone in Duogu Village would never imagine that under the thick armor, there is a skeleton that can move and make sounds.
Walking into the gate of the manor, what appears before your eyes is a large garden planted with medicinal herbs. At the end of the garden are several classical white buildings.
Only after entering here did Yang finally breathe a sigh of relief: "Okay, it's absolutely safe here." He was very determined and confident.
He smiled at them and said, "Mr. Meng and his team have already gone to the Undead Swamp. Everything is going well. You don't have to worry. Let's do as we said just now and rest in the manor for a night before setting off again."
Yolande simply agreed on behalf of everyone: "Please help arrange it."
Yang had already made all the necessary preparations and the room had been tidied up long ago.
There were not many maids in the manor. Since Yang returned to the family, he acted like a man who was traumatized, suspicious, and could hardly trust anyone around him. He drove away many maids and guards, leaving only the undead race he had contracted and the anaconda orc Iglen.
So he led the way himself and directed Ash and his party to the doors of their respective rooms.
At the beginning it was Ash's room.
Yang pushed open a door with gorgeous embossing, raised his hand politely and indicated: "This is your room." He looked at Ash and Sigourney.
In the beautifully decorated room, a luxurious big bed was exposed to everyone.
Yolande said meaningfully: "Oh..."
Yelena covered her mouth: "Wow..."
Ivan's brown skin turned deep red again.
Quentin was stunned and shocked. In his mind, a row of words played repeatedly: Fall! Shame! Humiliation! No dignity! It will be over sooner or later!
Yang smiled, "I've done my homework, too." He was a little proud, glancing at Ash and Sigourney's holding hands, "I've read the latest Radiant Daily carefully."
Everyone suddenly realized, oh, it's the newspaper that announced that Ash and Sigourney were together, right?
Sigourney: “…” Want to burn the wardrobe.
Ash pulled their hands together in surprise and whispered, "We can sleep together again."
again?
Yang glanced at Sigourney quickly and subtly. You can't judge a person by appearance. How could she act so quickly when she saw the sexually apathetic Scarlet Moon?
Sigourney: “…”
"Ash Elwin, when will there be another one?!"
Ash raised his eyes curiously and looked at him innocently, wasn't it?
However, today's spiritual communication has been exhausted, so I can't answer it.
In the end, Sigourney didn't raise any objections, so it was just him and Ash sharing the room.
In the evening, after dinner, except for Quentin who stayed in his room, the rest of the people gathered together to discuss the next countermeasures.
Yang told everyone that he had found out that the organization that trafficked in humans and magical creatures had once broken into the elf protection area, the Muen Cave, and killed and captured elves on a large scale. Its core base was inside the Undead Swamp, but the exact location could not be determined.
This organization is connected with human wizards and the Secret Alliance. Meng, Jian and Suya are planning to contact this organization through the power of the Secret Alliance, find out its details and catch them in one fell swoop.
They currently need to wait for the news sent back by Meng and there is no rush to do anything for the time being.
Or shouldn't say them.
After all, Yolande Ivan and the others couldn't help much in this operation, and they actually had to rely on Sigourney's strength.
Ivan and his companions were here purely to provide cover and gain experience and knowledge.
Originally, Yang had only invited Meng and Sigourney.
Yang explained his arrangements in the vicinity in detail to several people, making sure that everyone understood before concluding the discussion.
The anaconda orc Iglen was not beside him, as he had gone to deliver fresh blood to Quentin in the room.
At this time, Quentin was drinking blood, glancing at the tall and silent orc from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, how did you get caught and contracted by humans? You look very strong."
Iglen shook his head: "I was born in the Prince family. Not long after that, I signed a contract with the young master." His voice was also very soft and soothing, which was inconsistent with his cold and ruthless appearance.
"You are livestock..." Quentin almost bit the word "livestock" in his mouth. Perhaps it was because Iglen's attitude when answering his question was too good, so he didn't feel comfortable applying this derogatory and malicious word to Iglen.
There are some magical creatures that are captured and domesticated by wizards. Their offspring, and their offspring's offspring... will always serve the wizard's family. They have no freedom and don't even yearn for freedom. They have lived in the human world since birth and have been domesticated by humans.
These magical creatures are regarded as livestock by the free magical creatures in the outside world.
Many wizard families would select a highly gifted youngster from the magical creatures raised by the family when their children were still young, and make a contract with their children to serve as their guards and grow up together. Guards trained in this way were generally very loyal.
Eglen obviously knew this name, and also knew that this was the word Quentin had not finished saying just now, but his expression did not change much, instead he nodded: "That's right. The master and I grew up together."
His good temper made Quentin feel even more uncomfortable. He finished drinking the blood and stared at Eglen with dark red eyes: "Have you ever thought about running away?"
Igren put away the crystal vessel containing the blood and shook his head silently and firmly: "Yang is my master. I must protect him."
Quentin sneered disdainfully: "Do you really think so?"
"Really." Iglen answered him patiently, then turned and left.
Quentin: "..." What loyalty is there to talk about when you are in a contract? What about freedom? What about dignity?
This is typical brainwashing!
Because I was raised by humans since I was a child...
He pounded the table angrily, what despicable and hateful human beings!
