Chapter 53: Hundred-Day Soul-Severing Pill
Lisa Dilan looked at Eric in disbelief: "You are still alive... Fortunately you are alive! No!... Thank you for your generosity!"
"Yeah, luckily Eric is alive, otherwise you would have died... You really should thank him!"
The lord was standing by and staring at Risadiran.
"Lord Leon, I don't have much money to pay you now, but I can work for you and use my abilities to repay the debt!"
The elf spoke sincerely.
But Leon still stared at the elf's eyes suspiciously: "Lisadilan, you should know that I don't trust you."
This time, he was not called Teddy.
Lisa Dilan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "This is what I should do... I hope you can give me a chance to prove my sincerity..."
sincerity?
Leon looked at Risadiran, then at the team list.
No players were added to the list.
The system does not give any prompts.
It seems that he is not very sincere... Li Ang shook his head, rode his horse to the back of the team, and walked around the convoy.
When he came back, he had a small black pill in his hand.
"I don't trust you, and I think you probably don't trust me either, so you eat it, and we can both feel more at ease..."
Leon put the pill to Lisa Dilan's mouth.
The pill looked terrible. It was dark green with a bit of burnt yellow in the middle and had a sour smell. It was obvious that it was not a good thing.
“What…what is this…”
Lisa Dilan was really panicked now and didn't dare to speak.
"Poison, the legendary 'Hundred Days Soul-breaking Pill', my own secret recipe. After taking it, you must take another pill every three months, otherwise your intestines will be ruptured and your whole body will itch and you will die... In the ten days before you die, you will feel like countless ants are devouring your internal organs. I guarantee that is the cruelest torture in the world..."
Li Ang had a blank expression , half smiling, waiting for Lisa Dilan to make a decision.
If you don't eat it, you will be killed...
And if you eat it, you may be controlled for the rest of your life - this is the way to prove your sincerity.
Lisa Dilan was silent for a while, sighed resignedly, and swallowed the "poison".
"My Lord, I swear allegiance to you... I think you should be relieved now... but..."
Elves have long lives, and serving humans for a period of time , even a human's lifetime, is only a short period of life for elves. For Lisadilan, swearing allegiance was not a difficult decision.
What made the Elf Killer hesitate and difficult to speak was another thing - "But... My Lord, can you ask a doctor to treat me first... My wound has been bleeding..."
The system prompt also came at this time: "Lisa Dilan has joined your team."
Maybe this system is not very powerful, but at least it can accurately judge whether someone is truly willing to join the team. From Anson to the carpenters, this has been proven.
After hearing the reminder, Li Ang nodded with a fake smile: "Don't forget to come to me for medicine in three months. Anson, treat his injury."
Of course, the black balls were not the Hundred Day Soul-Severing Pills, but were made of Alice's horse manure mixed with some bird droppings and other messy things. Well, in a sense, it was indeed extremely poisonous.
In fact, Leon knew that a cunning man like Lisa Dilan might not really believe in the existence of such a poison that could extend one's life every three months.
But as someone who knows how to use poison and knows how terrible poison is, Risa Dilan would never dare to gamble.
The more cunning a person is, the less likely he is to gamble his life easily - what if the poison is real?
Lisa Dilan finally let out a long breath and pursed his lips with some sadness: "My lord, what do you need me to do now?"
Li Ang's expression became serious and cautious: "First of all, before your wounds heal, I want you to learn to respect everyone in the team - start by taking care of Eric's wounds. After all, he spared your life."
"After you recover from your injury, go find the person who hired you and bring him to me. Can you do that?"
"Of course."
"I mean first thing - respect everyone, can you do that?"
Lisadiran was silent for a few seconds: "I will do it, my lord...but if someone captures my people as slaves, I can't just turn a blind eye..."
Li Ang nodded: "Of course, you are now a member of my team. If something like this happens, I will help you. I am even willing to help you return to your tribe...but..."
Li Ang got close to Lisa Dilan's eyes and stared closely at his blue pupils: "But you have to understand that I am a selfish person. I will only help my own people!"
The handsome Noldor looked deeply into Leon's eyes and nodded.
…
late at night.
The convoy arrived at the village of Aildaige.
This is the ownerless village that Ralph mentioned.
This village originally had a lord - it was a knighthood under the late Duke of Aelfwan, and its lord was Lord Rainier.
In fact, in terms of geographical location, the village of Elladag should have belonged to White Hart Castle, just like the village of Fletcher belonged to Brave Shield Castle.
However, due to the continuous northward invasion of the Bacchus Empire in the south, Eldege was located in a dangerous area on the eastern border.
Therefore, Duke Elfwan, who was in charge of the eastern region at that time, took it under his direct jurisdiction as a knight territory in order to defend against the Bacchus Empire.
However, since Elfwan became paralyzed, this knighthood has been in a semi-autonomous state. Lord Rainier has been quite free in the territory, after all, Elfwan is paralyzed in bed and can't control him, and White Hart Castle can't control him either.
Lord Rainier is actually the nephew of Duke Elfwan, and his father, Baron Eldred, is a distant cousin of Elfwan.
This lord actually has no title, he is called lord only because he is the heir of the baron. But before his father died, he could only be considered a knight.
Of course, it's also called 'Jazz'.
He is of the same nature as Lord Lehman, Oden's son-in-law.
While Grand Duke Alma was plotting to take over Changhe Town , Lord Rainier gradually turned to Alma - his father, Baron Eldred, was actually Alma's distant cousin, and these old nobles frequently intermarried, and their relationships were quite complicated.
Eldred is the lord of Qicha Fortress, which is the central fortress of the entire continent and the gateway to Sarleon City. Its geographical location is very important.
The father and son wisely chose to stand on the side of Archduke Alma. This is normal, as it is good to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade.
But Alma actually tricked Rainier.
After Grand Duke Alma led the Jatu people into the heart of Changhe Town, several teams of 100 people from Jatu had been looting various villages.
The village of Elerdeg in Rainier was one of the first to be affected.
Facing the invasion of the Jatu people, the young lord Rainier did not lead his troops to protect his territory, but ran away immediately...
This is not uncommon, and can even be considered a normal and wise choice.
Not every lord has the courage and strength to fight two hundred Jatu with dozens of people. In fact, if he couldn't escape, Leon would not be willing to fight hard.
But the problem is that the first thing Rainier did before abandoning his territory and running away was to burn the village.
Burn down your own village.
He swept away all the valuable property in the territory and robbed his own people before the Jatu people...
Then he set fire to the village, leaving the weeping villagers to the Jatu people.
It has to be said that people who can do this kind of operation are often very promising...
It's understandable that they would rather rob it themselves than let the Jatu people take advantage.
But the people of Gatu wouldn't agree to that. They must have negotiated the terms of this deal with Grand Duke Alma!
As a result, the Jatu people did not gain anything after entering the burned-down village of Eledaig and plundering it for the second time.
So the Jatu people turned back and caught up with Rainier, who was leading a large caravan and could not run fast, and then they made a quick and convenient wholesale attack - the valuable things were all packed up, even the cars were loaded, and robbing Rainier's caravan was much more efficient than robbing a village.
It was Ralph and his rangers who saved Rainier's life.
