“And then she started an organization that we all know about-“Dragon Worship Sect.
“The mage’s name was Isabelle, and Mr. Ronan was probably the most familiar with her.
“After all, he was one of Isabelle’s favourite disciples. Even Mr. Ronan’s wife was chosen by Isabelle for him.”
At this point.
Richard smiled at Rheagar and teased,
“A while ago, I heard that you were going to cause trouble for the Dragon Worship Sect. I thought that the position of mayor of Rolling Stone Town would change. I even prepared the election declaration for the new mayor. I didn’t expect you to come back alive.”
Rheagar immediately revealed a look of lingering fear.
He patted his chest.
“Fortunately, I was lucky this time and didn’t really go against the Dragon
Worship Sect. According to what you said, if I really kill that Blinken, a Heavenly Mage would come for me?! Wait a minute, was Blinken actually Ronan’s junior?”
Richard shrugged.
“I don’t know about that. There are too many dirty things in the Alliance. I just want to remind you that Lady Isabelle still has a lot of influence in the Alliance.
Even Ronan probably won’t openly oppose her.”
As he spoke, he looked at Matthew approvingly.
But your plan just now doesn’t seem to have any problems logically. To be able to come up with a better solution than a Holy Mage, even if it’s just to slow down the expansion of the Scar of the Dead, is already shocking enough. No wonder Ronan thinks so highly of you. My suggestion is to give it a try.” Matthew said a few humble words, then asked,
“Oh right, do you know where that guy named Setrunk came from?” Richard’s expression immediately became a little strange.
He looked a little conflicted.
After a few seconds.
He sighed deeply and said,
‘ I was about to tell you about Setrunk. It’s a little difficult to say, but considering the safety of Rolling Stone Town, I can’t hide it.
“You should have heard that many years ago, a village called White Poplar Village in Jade Court was razed.
“After the incident, the Shadow Leopards who were in charge of the investigation discovered that only one human child adopted by the Wood Elves survived.
“He was only about six or seven years old at the time, and he managed to survive by hiding in the heart of a banana tree.
“Jade Court had done a lot of investigations.
“In the end, the suspect was locked onto the leader of the Silver Frost Brotherhood, Sener.
“The reason was that Sener had been spotted at the border of Jade Court, and the timeline of the White Poplar Village tragedy perfectly coincided with Sener’s advancement to Legend.
“At the same time, Sener advanced to the infamous Red-letter Hunter.
“One of the conditions for the advancement of this legendary evil class was to massacre a village or a city.
“Therefore, Sener undoubtedly took the blame.
“Until now, Jade Court still believed that Sener was the one who did it. “However, in the Shadow World, the information I received was somewhat different.
“Rumors spread among the rogues that Sener’s advancement ritual was a massacre of an entire city of duergar.
“The city was called Bande, and it was once a famous commercial city in the Underdark.
“Later, it was destroyed overnight. Some said that it was done by Sener, while others said that it perished of dragon fire.
“Anyway, no one could say for sure.
“However, if Sener had to choose between the massacre of the White Poplar Village and the massacre of the duergar city, he would definitely choose the latter.
“It was well known that the quality of the advancement ritual determined the power of entering the legendary path.
“I’ve dealt with Sener before. He’s an out-and-out bad guy, scum, and beast.
“He did not feel any psychological burden when he slaughtered the old, weak, women and children, but White Poplar Village was too weak for him. It was so weak that if he slaughtered the village and became a Legend, he could only obtain one Domain at most.
“This did not match the strength that Sener had shown after becoming a Legend.”
At this point, he paused as if he was recalling more content.
Matthew looked at Richard. “What happened to the human child?”
Richard said calmly,
He was sent to the imperial city of Jade Court. After staying there for a period of time, it was said that he was not used to the living environment there and eventually left Jade Court. There was no news of him since then.
“A few years later.
“Sener, who had been promoted to a red-letter hunter, had a little follower by his side.
“He claimed to be Sener’s disciple, and his name was Setrunk.
“A few years later, he left Sener and worked on a few cases on the East Coast alone.
“Jade Court had put a bounty on him, and the bounty was 30,000 gold coins, second only to the notorious Sener. It could be said that this guy was a complete madman, a bloodthirsty maniac, and an anti-human.
“But I still couldn’t do anything to him.”
At this point.
Richard’s tone became particularly sad and remorseful.
Matthew had already reacted.
“So it wasn’t that he ran fast, but that you let him go. Do you have a history with Setrunk?”
Richard did not deny it.
He just turned around silently.
“That’s another story…l only remember that when I held him in my arms, he was just a baby in swaddling clothes.
I’m sorry, I don’t want to recall those things anymore. I can only promise you that I’ve already warned him. Setrunk also promised me that he would never enter Rolling Stone Town again..”
