Recently, unknown people have always come to this village to make troubles, such as harassing villagers, destroying fields, profiteers selling fake goods, thieves sneaking in, etc., causing serious losses to the villagers.

Survival was already difficult enough for everyone due to the series of negative effects brought about by the wave, and now it is even worse.

In order to keep the lives of the villagers from getting worse, the lord couple made up for the losses of the villagers out of their own pockets. As a result, they had no money themselves.

Logically speaking, as nobles, they would not be so poor, but they defied Melomag's policy of governing the country many times, and were forced to pay huge fines, their power was greatly reduced, and the family fell into decline.

If you don't help the people now, your wallet will be empty.

Meromag, which is managed by the mentally disabled king and the church, does not allow anyone to raise objections. It must be bad luck for the lord and his wife to be so forthcoming.

In addition to these problems, from a certain day the merchants stopped coming, no doubt this brought great troubles to the life of the villagers.

The citizens need to buy commodities, especially medicines, and also need to sell some things to merchants to make some money.

At this moment, the nobles from the next town came to their door and expressed their willingness to spend money to support them, and even sent people to guard the village, on the condition that the lord couple would mortgage the woman to him.

I also knew that the lord and his wife couldn't agree. They had heard about the brutality of the lord next door. The other party must have some bad idea. How could they push their daughter into the fire pit.

Who knew that the villains would attack the village the next night, and there would be an attack every three to five days in the following days.

However, this fearful day ended one day, when an adventurer who came from nowhere took action to repel the villain.

Just when everyone thought that the bad things were finally over, the Adventurer's Guild sent someone to collect the money again. The reason was that the lord and his wife entrusted the guild to deal with the villains. However, the lord and his wife didn't go to the guild to release this task at all, and they had already run out of money.

It was only later that they realized that the hateful noble next door had issued a mission in their name, in order to make them owe money.

Before they could think of a way to raise money to pay it back, the nobleman next door paid the commission fee without authorization, which meant that they owed money to the nobleman next door.

Isn't this sending someone to ask for money now?

"Hehe, stop talking nonsense, hand over your daughter if you don't have money, and wait until you have enough money to redeem it? Is it necessary to resist like this?

My lord keeps his word, and there will be two people left to protect your town later. ". "

The man with a ferocious face pointed at the dozen or so subordinates behind him, quite threatening.

They came here during the day, and of course they knew that the lord in front of him had no money, so they came to rob him at night.

"He looks like the villain who attacked that night"

"It's really similar, it could be him."

A group of villagers standing behind the lord and his wife whispered softly. It is a sunny day tonight, and the moon hanging high in the night sky is very bright. In addition, the villagers are holding torches in their hands, so it is easy to see each other's appearance clearly.

The lord and his wife, who cared about the people, were naturally loved by the villagers, otherwise they wouldn't be standing here with weapons like hoes and sticks.

During the day, many people were busy with farm work. When the violent man came to ask for money, he failed to appear beside the lord and his wife in time. It happened that the few people who had seen the villain's face were not there, otherwise the violent man would have been recognized at that time.

The villagers talked in small voices and decided to tell the lord the news.

"I want to meet your lord and discuss why you look like the villain who attacked the village."

The man in the lord's couple showed an angry face and asked. He had long suspected that everything was done by the lord next door, but there was no evidence, and the other party was strong enough to endure it. Now that he had the testimony of the villagers, he had to reason. some.

In fact, he had already written down what happened here and sent it to the capital, hoping that the country would send someone to conduct a detailed investigation, but it was as if nothing had happened, and no news came back.

Either it was stolen and ruined by the nobles next door, or it was ignored by the country.

The former is more likely.

It's not because he is reckless to expose the other party now, but because he really has no choice. If he doesn't do something, his daughter will definitely be taken away by force.

". `This, how is this possible, you must have misunderstood it."

The face of the middle-aged man who didn't look like a good person changed on the spot, and then he immediately started to quibble, as if to hide his guilt, he immediately changed into a hideous expression, stared fiercely at the lord and his wife and shouted loudly :

"Don't think about procrastinating, hand over the person quickly."

It even showed a vicious attitude that could strike at any time.

……

Nangong Long came to the unremarkable village in front of him through the portal. He saw people gathered at the entrance of the village, but he didn't rush there immediately, but went to Lisia's house first.

Although Lisia's parents are nobles and even the lords of this place, their (Wang Dezhao) house is no different from other houses in the village, and has nothing to do with the word mansion.

Knowing that the other party was here to snatch their daughter, how could the lord couple let their daughter show up? Of course, let her stay at home honestly.

Hearing the knock on the door, Lisia, who was walking around the living room anxiously, approached the door cautiously, her voice trembling slightly:

"Who is outside?"

"Lizia, it's me, Nangong Long"

"Master Divine Bird Saint...Master Shield Hero"

Hearing some familiar voices, Lizia felt relieved, and opened the door immediately.

Nangong Long had been to this village several times when he was a merchant, so it was no surprise that Lisia knew him.Originally, everyone in the village didn't know his identity as the Shield Hero, and they kept calling him the Divine Bird Saint. Now his arrest warrants are posted everywhere, and it's hard not to know.

That's why Licia suddenly changed her name.

Chapter 97 The battle that ended in an instant

"Master Shield, Shield Hero, why are you here? Didn't you leave Melomag? Now there are notices for your arrest posted everywhere, it's very dangerous, you'd better leave quickly."

Lisia was a little nervous, and tried her best to speak more smoothly without wasting time.Originally, she was quite happy to see Nangong Long, but immediately remembered that Meromag was looking for him, and she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"It's just a small problem on my side. They can't do anything about me. But you seem to be in big trouble."

The corner of Nangong Long's mouth raised a gentle smile, he didn't take the fact that he was wanted at all, and then pointed out Licia's plight.

"Hu Yi Yi..."

When she was nervous or afraid, Lizia would make such an ugly sound, and it could also be said in words similar to mantras.

"Um……"

Lisia calmed down, and briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter.

"Obviously these are the nobleman's conspiracy"

"Huyiyi... is, is that so? But, but we have no evidence..."

Lisia's expression was melancholy and her tone was full of helplessness.

It is impossible to sanction the opponent without evidence, and it is unrealistic to fight head-on. If this village had that strength, it would not have been calculated so miserably in the first place.

"You come with me"

Nangong Long took Licia's soft little hand and walked towards the entrance of the village.

"Huh, um" 620

The mantra that was about to be heard subconsciously was swallowed by Lizia, and she replied with a reddish face, but she didn't withdraw her held hand, and her heart was already pounding like a deer.

……

The atmosphere of the confrontation at the entrance of the village gradually turned bad. The vicious man who became angry and angry was already impatient with being accused. When he thought that he would be scolded by the noble master if he failed to complete the task today, his mood was even worse.

It seems that the lord's daughter cannot be captured without beating up those who are in the way.

Just when he was about to order an attack, he saw figures approaching in the distance by the bright moonlight. Although he couldn't see them clearly, it was probably okay to see them. One of them was obviously the girl the nobleman wanted. As for the man next to him, he was probably from the village, so he took the initiative to bring him because he was afraid that they would make a move.

"It seems that there are still people who understand the truth. If this is the case, why bother everyone."

A smug smile appeared on the ferocious man's face, and he glanced ironically at the lord couple in front of him, as if to say, 'Not all the villagers are on your side'.

"Who are you (babi)? Let go of Licia immediately."

Licia's father looked back, and immediately frowned, his tone very angry.

Is it from the village?

doesn't look like...

Could it be that someone sneaked into the village and captured Lisia?

But there is one thing that is very strange, he feels that his daughter does not seem to be forced to come here, but rather submissive and dependent.

The villagers followed the lord's gaze, and immediately glared at him with angry faces.

"Dad, I'm fine, don't worry"

In order to avoid deepening the misunderstanding, Lisia hurriedly opened her mouth to explain, but she did not reveal the identity of Nangong Long.

People in the nearby village should be able to recognize Nangong Long as the hero of the shield, but there is no need to worry that people in the village will not report it.

She was praying silently in her heart, hoping that the enemies who came to the village to make trouble would not know Nangong Long.

Of course, her wish is impossible to come true.

The arrest warrants are posted everywhere, the villagers can recognize them, and the vicious man will naturally recognize them too.

"Shield, shield demon?!"

When he saw Nangong Long's face clearly, the ferocious man was stunned, as if he didn't believe what he saw was real, he blinked fiercely a few times to confirm that he wasn't hallucinating, and a hideous look appeared on his face immediately. Smiling, at this moment he felt extremely lucky.

Although I don't know why the shield demon who fled to Sidwilut appeared here, but I don't need to care about it. The important thing is that I have the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step.

As long as the Demon of Shield can be caught, wealth and status will be obtained immediately.

Maybe he can greatly surpass that noble lord. He no longer needs to be subordinate to others. From now on, he will be the noble lord himself, and he can do whatever he wants!

The smile on the ferocious man's face could no longer be stopped.

The task assigned to him by the noble lord has long been thrown out of the sky, and the greater interests are in front of him. Who has the time to care about those trivial matters.

"Give me the shield demon, let's make a fortune together!"

The vicious man pointed at Nangong Long and laughed arrogantly.

Those subordinates behind him raised their weapons with fierce eyes as if they had been spat with chicken blood.

Realizing that the battle was inevitable, the villagers all clenched their hoes and sticks tightly, as if they voluntarily stood behind the lord and his wife. Having received a lot of favor from the bird sage, they couldn't just sit back and watch the sage be taken away, even if they already knew the true nature of Nangong Long. The same is true for his identity as the Hero of the Shield.

It's just that things didn't go as they expected, the battle didn't happen, or it ended in an instant.

【Dark Star Pressure】

Nangong Long raised his hand and released a magic at will, and saw a football-sized black ball appear above the vicious men's team and slowly rotated. Like any heavy object, no matter how hard you struggle, you can't get up.

"You are quite courageous, it's just that your strength is too weak."

A long knife appeared out of nowhere in Nangong Long's hand, and he slapped the vicious man's face several times with the blade.
