The lizard people, following the marks left by the Squire Knight, easily found Jude under a large tree.
By that ti, he had regained consciousness and sohow managed to free his hands from the ropes. However, he did not leave but just sat there quietly.
Even when the three lizard people who ca to find him reached him, he did not lift his head.
The three lizard people exchanged glances, and one of them went forward and patted Jude on the shoulder. The ugly-faced man still did not look up; after pausing for about a few breaths, he slowly stood up.
Without speaking, he simply stood behind the three lizard people and followed them as they walked out of the swamp.
anwhile, upon receiving the news, Irelia also set out from the castle at the first opportunity and headed for the territory of the Double Rest Sect.
This was Miss Rabbit’s first ti coming to the land of Saturday.
The enmity between the Arias family and the lizard people had stretched over several hundred years, and as the current family head of the Arias family, the young lady had never had a good impression of these persistent residents in her territory.
Hearing that they could not live in the swamp anymore, Irelia did not feel the slightest sympathy, and she even wanted to open a bottle of Great Wall Dry Red to celebrate.
If it had not been for Li Yu’s sake, she would not want to shelter these robbers at all.
However, fate is unpredictable; the mighty threat that drove the lizard people from their hos now also posed a threat to Green Field.
In order to obtain information about that dragon as quickly as possible, Miss Rabbit did not want to wait for another mont. Ignoring Alfred and the others’ objections, she rushed over in a carriage.
Seeing the territory of the Double Rest Sect just ahead, the accompanying guards were all on high alert, clutching their weapons tightly, surrounding Irelia’s carriage in the middle.
As a result, Miss Rabbit could not see the outside situation at all.
She opened the carriage window and could only see a row of shiny armor and horse buttocks.
Therefore, the young lady called over Thomas, who was in charge of leading the team, and instructed, "Move your n out of the way! Don’t let those lizard people laugh at us."
"But we are approaching the lizard people’s village; we need to be prepared for any possible ambush, Miss Irelia," Thomas said seriously.
"With rlin there, there’s nothing to worry about," Miss Rabbit was unconcerned.
"But Prophet rlin is only one person," Thomas reminded her.
"Why, after so many events, do people still underestimate rlin’s abilities? He alone is worth an entire army," the young lady said.
"He helped defeat my evil stepmother, rescued from a group of assassins, uncovered a mole hidden in the castle, and even persuaded the lizard people to withdraw from under Teacup Castle, oh right, and... even the Silver Moon Church has suffered at his hands.
"Then you’re telling that he can’t ensure my safety on his own turf? A sense of humor is good, but you also need to choose the right mont," Irelia said, "Move the n aside; I may not be as brave as my father, but I am definitely not a weak lord who only hides behind guards."
Thomas bowed slightly and then directed the guards to spread out again, restoring the relatively loose formation as before.
Just as Miss Rabbit did not like the barbarians in her territory, the lizard people naturally did not have a favorable impression of Green Field’s lady.
But they had to admit that this girl with rabbit ears was not weak at all.
Bold enough to co before them with only a dozen guards, and upon entering the village, Miss Irelia even left most of the guards at the entrance, proceeding deeper with just a handful of people like Fosto and Thomas.
On a short stretch of road, the guard captain was on tenterhooks, his right hand always resting on the hilt of his sword.
In the end, it was just as Irelia said, the lizard people might have had so unfriendly looks, but not a single one initiated an attack, nor were there any hidden arrows shot from behind.
The group thus arrived smoothly at the red brick house where Li Yu lived.
Without waiting for the coachman to open the door, Irelia dismounted from the carriage herself. She first looked up to assess the red building in front of her, and her first impression was that it was neat and pretty, standing in complete contrast to the dirty and dilapidated longhouses in the Arias family’s estates, with no dung or foul slls in front of the house.
Irelia had actually known early on that Li Yu was making bricks, as he hadn’t kept it secret; when the girl asked, he told her, and even brought back a few red bricks at Miss Rabbit’s request, for the new head of the Arias family to study.
He even shared so of the advantages of brick houses, which tempted Irelia, but after calculating the costs, she gave up the idea.
The Arias family certainly could not afford to provide new houses for all the serfs and free farrs on their lands, and according to the tradition on the Bratis Continent, it was the residents’ own responsibility, not sothing that required the lord to pay.
Nevertheless, now that she had seen the finished product in the Double Rest Sect’s area, the girl felt quite impressed.
But her focus at the mont wasn’t on this matter; after a brief sense of admiration, she moved on, seeing the little maid Clara waiting by the door and asked, "Is Prophet rlin inside now?"
The maid nodded and added, "Lord Juan and Jude are also there."
Without saying anything further, Irelia walked in with Fosto.
As soon as she entered, she saw Li Yu pulling a small rectangular black piece the size of a thumbnail out of the Holy Artifact lent to Jude by the Double Rest Sect, and inserting it into a slightly larger rectangular box.
Then he connected that small box to an even larger square one.
After a series of dizzying operations, Li Yu finally started the video stored on the card, and then waved to Irelia and the others, saying, "You’ve arrived just in ti. Co, have a look."
Miss Rabbit approached upon hearing this and saw that the mirror-like device suddenly started displaying images that were magically changing.
But just one glimpse made her face alter dramatically because the contents were too gory!
Watching the Black Dragon wreak havoc among the people, with the rcenaries having almost no power to fight back, Irelia couldn’t help but shiver.
Especially with the 4k quality, the rcenaries’ faces etched with despair and fear were clearly recorded, and then transmitted to everyone in the room through the screen.
Fosto, who had entered the room with the girl, couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, "My God, there’s actually a dragon in the swamp! Why would such a terrifying monster appear on Arias family lands?!"
Miss Rabbit’s face was ashen.
Before seeing this video, like most people, she was sowhat disinclined to believe that a monster, extinct for over three thousand years, would reappear on the Bratis Continent, and what’s more, this "fortune" happened right at her doorstep.
