Executive Residence Hall.

"What's going on?" Kino looked at Paladin. He was beaten all over and tied up. He fell to the ground and coughed up blood from time to time. The strawberry hard candies in his arms were also scattered on the floor.

Fick was followed by seven or eight followers. He kicked Paladin in the face and sneered: "Hey, it seems you didn't take care of your dog, let him..."

Kino: "Did I let you speak?"

Fick's words were interrupted and he glared at Kino angrily.

Kino looked at Paladin: "Speak."

Paladin spat out a mouthful of blood and his voice was hoarse: "He led his men to bully a child on the roadside. I couldn't stand it, so I started a fight with them and accidentally killed his entourage during the fight."

Kino pointed at Fike: "It sounds like this is your fault."

Fick's eyes widened: "You say that again?!"

Kino: "Your people bully the civilians, and Paladin, as the centurion of Twilight City, has legitimate reasons to stop it. Moreover, when two people fight, the fault is always the one who is killed. Weakness is the original sin."

Fike was furious: "Say it again??!!"

Kino's face was immediately full of doubts: "Are you deaf, or is my Doguland speaking not standard? Why do you have to say it again every time I say something?"

Veins popped up on Fick's forehead, and he roared angrily: "I am the son of a warrior under the Sword and Shield of the Royal Family, Fick Troy! Remember my name, you bitch!"

The smile on Kino's face gradually disappeared: "You don't understand what politeness is, do you?"

Just when the atmosphere became depressing, honest laughter came from outside the door: "Hahaha, my son is not sensible, please don't argue with him, Chief Chino."

Kino looked over and saw a man over 1.9 meters tall walking into the hall. He had a thick beard, a round face, and thick eyebrows, making him look a bit like a simple and honest bear.

The man wears a badge on his trousers, with the symbol of intertwined swords and shields, indicating that he belongs to the Trojan family, one of the five royal families of Doguland.

The royal family is the collective name of the five major families who followed the "ancient king" to conquer the entire territory during the conflict between the eight kings in 2188 of the Divine Fall Calendar.

The ancient king is "Doguland I" who ascended the throne in the 1st year of the Huoyao Calendar after the conflict between the Eight Kings ended.

In the Kingdom of Doguland, nobles are superior to commoners and slaves, and the nobles of the royal family enjoy more privileges than ordinary nobles.

These five royal families are: Regnom, Hedge, Eric, Dagon, and Troy.

Together with the royal family, they formed the core of Doguland's ruling class and have been prosperous to this day.

The Trojan family uses the sword and shield as its banner, advocates force, and most of its retainers are warriors of the kingdom.

26 years ago, in the 500th year of the Huoyao Calendar, after the death of the previous king, Doguland XXIV took over the throne. When the political power was unstable, the Far Eastern Dynasty invaded on a large scale. This became the famous "Laurel War" in later generations.

During the war, the five royal families fought bloody battles, especially the Trojan family, who bravely took the lead. They proved their loyalty, but the price they paid was also very heavy.

In addition to losing troops in the war, the territory of the Troy family was also the center of the outbreak of the lycanthropic disease at that time. The turmoil during the war made it difficult for them to treat infected people, causing the disease to spread and no one in the family was spared.

However, the gods seemed to have played a big joke on them.

As we all know, the disease of lycanthropy is incurable and will mutate the body and corrode the mind.

But in fact, the beast-shaped body will give the infected people powers that are different from ordinary people - the ferocious plague beast is a good example.

Later, the epidemic doctors of the Scarlet Church found a special factor. The purified blood synthesized by this factor can suppress the infectivity. If the quality is high enough, it can even cause the degeneration of the lycanthropic parts, causing "reversibility", and will not

Lose your mind.

In other words, as long as high-quality blood therapy is provided for a long time, the infected person can freely switch between "human form" and "animal form". In peacetime, he can regard himself as a human being, and in wartime, he can transform into a ferocious plague beast and gallop on the battlefield.

In the end, the Trojan family accepted the fate that had befallen them, and no longer resisted the lycanthropic disease. Instead, they made use of the blood therapy of the Scarlet Church, and even let their descendants and retainers take the initiative to be infected, creating batches of diseases.

The extraordinary person with the body of a beast, the family's strength has once again increased.

Since this special factor is very difficult to extract, the price is naturally very expensive.

The low-level purifying blood used by infected civilians can be settled with Iron Moon, and its effect is limited to suppressing the infection.

The high-level purifying blood used by infected persons of the Trojan family must be settled with at least the silver moon, and the best ones may even be settled with the golden moon.

Of course, for the huge wealth of the Wangling family, this kind of expenditure is just a drop in the bucket.

According to the individual strength after being transformed into beasts, the Trojan family divides its extraordinary beings into seven sequences - Fighters, Beastmen, Disasters, Demon Controllers, Abominations, Cursed Ones, and Night Sprites.

The fighters in the first sequence are the lowest level, but their combat power after transforming into beasts is still enough to compete with dozens of elite soldiers.

As for the night sprite in the seventh sequence, there has only been one in the history of the Trojan clan. No one knows its combat power, and everyone who has seen it is already dead.

The tall man walking towards Kino now, judging from the badge he wears, is a Level 3 Disaster.

His son Fike Troy did not have a sword and shield badge, so he was probably underage and not old enough to be actively infected.

As a royal family, Troy itself is a privileged class, with a status second only to the royal family.

As for the six major provinces of the Dogulland Kingdom - Cardinal Province, Taoyu Province, Gray Mist Province, Feiyuan Province, Minyue Province, and Beacon Fire Province - Twilight City belongs to the Beacon Fire Province.

The highest administrator "Governor" of the provincial capital "Fengyunguan" is the leader of the Troy family.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Beacon Province is the headquarters of the Trojan family, and this is their home.

It’s no wonder that Fike Troy dared to let his followers attack Paladin in the street. As a heir of the royal family, he was in the Beacon Province, and a little Centurion of Twilight City in front of him probably had the same status as a dog.

.

...

The tall man walked over with a naive smile and greeted Kino in a friendly manner: "Hello, Administrator Kino, first time we meet, I am the military commander of Twilight City, Brooke Troy. When you took office a few days ago, I

I have official duties and I didn’t have time to visit. Please forgive me.”

Kino smiled: "It doesn't matter, I appreciate your sincerity."

"Hahaha, I just heard from my subordinates that something unpleasant happened between my son and your centurion." Brooke glanced at Paladin with a smile and praised, "The deceased was my son's entourage, and he also carried

He has a rune weapon. This centurion can actually kill him with a steel sword, so he is indeed a warrior."

Kino smiled and said: "Paladine is a very good centurion. During the attack and defense of Xilin Town, he has always been by my side and never retreated. If you also appreciate him, why don't we turn our hostility into friendship, and I will lead it myself someday?"

He came to apologize."

Brooke was still smiling, making people feel very honest, but there was hidden murderous intention in his soft words: "I'm afraid I have objections to this. Now half of Twilight City knows that the disciple of my Troy family was raped by the new Bai Bai.

Killing the husband in the street is like a slaughtered dog. If I ignore this matter, I'm afraid it will have an impact on the family's reputation."

Kino glanced at Fick: "I have already told the young master that this is not Paladin's fault. Of course, the deceased is the most important person. I will make Paladin sincerely apologize and compensate the Trojan family. You can set a price.

"

Brooke's smile became darker and darker, and therefore looked terrifying: "You have misunderstood one thing, Administrator Kino. Maybe in your eyes, human life can be measured in monthly coins. My disciples have already been marked in your heart."

If you know the price, it's like dog meat for sale outside. You can buy it with money. But you have forgotten one thing, and that is blood."

"During the Laurel War 26 years ago, do you know what the Far Eastern Dynasty was most afraid of? They were not afraid of the scorching sun of the Dogruland royal family, the soaring dragon knights of the Regnomu family, or the alchemy of the Hech family who drank the magic potion.

Warlocks are not afraid of the Eric family's ever-changing soul skills, nor are they afraid of the Dagon family's power from the abyss under the sea. They are most afraid of the Troy family and us.

"Because we never compromise, the entire family is connected by the bond of iron and blood. Every drop of blood shed, we will repay tenfold." Brooke held the handle of the knife, his eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of knives, and his bloody tone was complicated.
