Chapter 31 Gu Poison Cave

Before the Holy Sacrifice Ceremony, Lord Shadow Dragon stayed in the imperial capital for about a month. This was probably the most relaxing month after he stepped onto the epic stage. After that, he began to run around and never got a rest until the last moment when everything was over.

——"Song of Thorns and Troubled Times"

Gano only stayed in the palace for three or four days. As the redeemer of the civilians, he had to keep a distance from the nobles, at least on the surface. He currently lives in a once abandoned castle near the imperial capital, which was dilapidated, but by the time they arrived there, it had been repaired.

Under the guidance of Sci, Gano successively handled the affairs of several small lords' fiefs near the imperial capital. Whether it was the wild boars rushing in the forest or the small lords who did evil in the territory. Most of the small lords were plundering good things on their own territory, and diligently offered fixed taxes to the imperial capital every year. Some of them had not even executed slaves, which was considered to be without fault. However, they made the civilians and slaves in the territory complain.

The best training is always practical combat. Gano relies on his innate concealment ability to sneak into the castles of the little lords, without even magic, cut off their heads directly, and then walked out dignifiedly, tell the mercenaries, and tell the civilians that your lords are dead. So those people cheered and thanked him, and regarded him as the savior. However, their actual life has not changed, and it may even be worse. It is only at that moment that they thought they had been redeemed.

Garno returned to his residence, scooped a scoop of water from the reservoir and dripped it from his head. He watched the water take away the blood from his hands, and suddenly asked, "Do they damn?" "For the people in their fiefdom, yes, they damn." Sci replied.

"So do they deserve to die?" Garno asked persistently, "You said that everyone I kill will have enough reasons to be killed."

There was a faint slight ridicule on Sesie's face, and she replied, "They deserve to die. In fact, every nobleman of Palano should die, including me, including Shia, and Tangalore. Those who don't seem to die are not because they are so good, but because others are too sinful. The lords give their people shelter, and the people give back to the lord for wealth. The superiors of the nobles should be due to their sufficient strength to protect the common people, not because they are born noble."

Gano thoughtful, Sesie glanced at him and said with a smile: "Do you know why I asked you to kill these little lords first? Because their people are not used to oppression and know how to complain, so there is also the value of salvation. The civilians of the great nobles with stable foundations have long been numb to oppression and take everything the lord imposed on them for granted. If the civilians themselves do not have the will to be saved, there is no need to save them." Another reason Sesie believes that Gano does not need to know that those great nobles are both the cancer of the empire and the foundation of the empire. The king knows their existence, and he can acquiesce the death of the little lord, but no matter which one of the great nobles dies, it will cause great unrest.

"You have remembered all the runes. Next, as long as you master their standards and other things, you can use rune magic independently. Fortunately, the dragon clan is naturally sensitive to magic, and I don't think it will be possible to learn for too long..." Ssy estimated the time it took for Gano to master magic skillfully.

"Sesi!" Tangalo walked in anxiously from outside the castle. His face, which had always been unremitting, was extremely worried at this time, "Xia is gone."

"What?!" Gano was shocked. Not to mention that Xiya is the daughter of the Count and has a noble status, she is also the first enchantress in the empire. It is difficult to hurt her. Gano did not care that she had no personal relationship with Tangalo, and asked anxiously: "Xia is gone? What's going on? You are the commander of Plano, why didn't you notice it?"

Tangalo glanced at Sesi, and Sesi nodded slightly. He said, "A village in the territory of the Non family disappeared. As the lord, she went to check it out in person. Just now, the Non family sent someone to tell me that Shia also disappeared in that village." "Vanish? What does disappear mean? Didn't she bring people?" Gano didn't know why it was disappearing.

"The village where hundreds of people live completely disappeared overnight, no matter people, cultivated land, or houses, there was no trace, leaving only a bare ground. When Xiya went to check, she found that the road was blocked by a cave emitting poisonous gas. They did not have enough anti-virus materials, Xiya went in alone." Tangaro had recovered his calmness.

Gano blurted out, "Didn't you go to find her?" The answer was Sercy: "Gano, you are only in the dragon bloodline and are not afraid of poison. No one can survive there except you."

Gano looked at Sesi and looked at Tangala again, but Tangala did not wait for him to ask: "I have no blood, and the royal family of Plano has no blood in alien races. We are just humans. Paro is not afraid of poison, but it is too huge and may destroy the cave and the people inside."

Now Gano also understood, and he said, "So that's why you came to me?" "The territory of the Non family is not far from the Emperor. It is estimated that Shia has disappeared for more than a day and night. Tangalo, hurry up and prepare two horses... no, prepare a horse. Gano, you can hurry up now." Sesi immediately decided to let Gano go over quickly.

Gano looked at Sci in surprise: "You... aren't you going?" Sci always took him to his destination, but this time she didn't seem to plan to go with her.

"The person who came to report the news from the Non family will take you there. I am investigating the relief workers. As for Tangala, his younger brother Kanglanyan will be back from Katina. If Tangala is not here, it will be very troublesome. This time, you will go alone." Sethi told him calmly.

Gano was worried that Shia would not stop and rest along the way. If he hadn't moved in an instant, he would have wished he would have rushed to the so-called disappearing village immediately.

Even though Gano rushed forward, it took most of the day to arrive. He set out in the morning and it was already dark by the time he arrived.

A large group of people guarded there with torches, and the person who brought him said he wanted to inform the Earl of Noon. Gano said hurriedly: "No need to inform, I will go directly." He jumped off the horse, and the horse seemed to feel the danger ahead and walked uneasy, but Gano had no time to comfort the horse and walked quickly towards the crowd.

A guard noticed that he was walking over and asked, "Who?" After seeing the silver mask on Gano's face, he suddenly silenced and said stutteringly, "Dark...Shadow Dragon...Sir..." The name of Shadow Dragon has been very popular among all the nobles of Plano recently. It is said that he specifically stood up for the civilians and killed many lords.

Gano ignored them and walked straight forward. The guard bravely shouted: "You...what do you want to do? This is the territory of Count Norn!" "Get out!" Gano did not want to waste time, so he directly reached out and pushed him away. The push was powered by the dragon, pushing the guard back a few steps and fell to the ground.

The guard watched him walk away, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and crawled and rolled to report to the count.

In order to avoid anyone asking questions, Gano directly used his ability to integrate himself into nature. He hurriedly walked over and finally saw the cave.

It is not so much a cave, but a tunnel that crosses the mountain, and the light at the end can be vaguely seen. This tunnel connects the disappearing village to the outside. There are no plants at the entrance of the cave, but only bare rock and soil blocks, and there are no weeds on the ground. Some of the weeds have long turned yellow and withered.

The entrance of the cave was surrounded by a circle of huge, fluffy poisonous spiders. They formed a huge net at the entrance, leaving only a gap.

Gano knew that if ordinary people touched these spider silks, they would die.

Fortunately, he was not an ordinary person, and Gano showed his appearance and walked straight in.
