Chapter 388: 388

The next evening, a large group of guests came to the manor in Maple Leaf Village of Keane Hill .



Keane Hill had one city and four villages, and every village had a manor . Manors were the industries of the lord . If a village had a canonized a knight, then the manor would be the knight’s residence .

Maple Leaf Village didn’t have a canonized knight currently, so it was an industry directly belonging to Baron Keane . This manor was the place where Crick Keane had lived when he hadn’t inherited the title yet . Later, his brothers had passed away, and he had inherited the title . Therefore, he had moved to Keane City, and the manor had been empty since then .

Usually, no one had lived in it, so only a few farmers had helped to watch the gate and occasionally had cleaned it . A few days ago, the baron had sent a large number of people there, and they had carefully cleaned the manor both inside and outside . The old doors and windows had been replaced with new ones, the furniture had been polished brightly, and the ground had been spotless . Even the flowers and trees inside the manor had been adjusted to the flowering season by the mages who were specialized in the natural system spells .

For a time, this manor, which had become ruined, was immediately revived . Even the pickiest person had to admit that it was a suitable place for the engagement ceremony of a baroness .

“Crick Keane is indeed an amazing man!” Drucker stood on a hill near the manor, looking at the beautiful scene . He said to the people around him, “Look, in just the blink of an eye, the manor is all cleaned . This efficiency should be the top in any place!”

“Yeah, he is really amazing!”

“Unfortunately, he is dying,” Drucker said, sighing with some regrets . “If he could live for another eight or ten years, I wouldn’t dare to target his sister no matter how brave I am . However, even a wild wolf dares to roar at a dying dragon . The folk proverb is vulgar, but it makes sense!”

“My master, you are too modest! You are not necessarily worse than him!”

“Hah hah, don’t praise me like that . I still have the self-knowledge,” Drucker said, laughing . “Of course I have some abilities, but they are far worse than his! Alas, if I had his abilities, the heir of the Ricci family would be mine . Then why would I bother doing something bad that would only haunt me in the future?”

This time, the subordinates really didn’t know what to say next .



Drucker laughed, then his eyes fell on the group of people who were quarreling with the guards at the manor’s gate . They were trying to break in .

“These guys really lack respect . Since I have come here with Connor, then it’s none of their business . They are so noisy and arrogant . What exactly do they want to do?”

“Maybe they think they still have a chance,” one subordinate said . “As the saying goes, every dying person feels that they can still be rescued by a priest . ”

Drucker laughed . He said, patting him on the shoulder, “You are right! People are always like this . Even if there is no hope at all, they always want to struggle and then fight for it again . If people didn’t have such a mentality, the profits that our businessmen earned would definitely be seriously reduced . For example, now, if these idiots are going to take the lead, I can feel at ease behind them . Anyway, no matter what the benefits are, we must have a share . ”

At this time, on the road not far from the manor, Connor was feeding his mount .

His mount was a Land Walking Dinosaur, whose body was taller than an upright horse . Its face was fierce, and its fangs and sharp paws were combative . This kind of creature was completely different from the Nargacuga that Leon had been riding in the past . It was not a “mount” in the general sense, but a kind of beast, even close to the level of a demon beast . It was proof of Connor’s strength that he was able to tame it as his mount .

The food he was feeding it at the moment was a live goat . The beast that had no bridle and was chewing up the goat . He held it with one paw and smashed it into two halves with blood flowing everywhere .

“Good boy! You are eating really well!” Connor said with his face full of joy . He patted the shoulder of the mount and said with a smile, “It’s a pity that this is not my own place . It’s not convenient to get you some snacks . Don’t worry . When I get this territory, I’ll get you snacks every day!”

His subordinates had been accustomed to this kind of scene a long time ago, so they were not surprised and kept quiet .



After a while, the Land Walking Dinosaur almost ate the whole goat, leaving only pieces of the fur and horns . It ignored these things, kicked them away, and snarled with its head up high, asking his master to go .

Connor laughed loudly . He jumped on the back of the Land Walking Dinosaur . With a command, a long line of people continued to move ahead, leaving a mess on the ground .

After a while, Rafael arrived at the place where the Land Walking Dinosaur had eaten the goat with two elite scouts .


A scout noticed the debris and bloodstains of the goat on the ground . He hurriedly jumped down from the horse and used his finger to dip into a little bit of blood on the far side of the goat’s debris . He smelled it, licked it, and then his serious face relaxed a bit .

“Not human blood,” he said . “I’m not sure about what the blood is, but it is not human blood anyway . Probably… an unlucky goat’s . ”

“Not human blood, then it’s okay,” Raffle said in relief . “That damn hybrid wolf! He killed people and actually took their hearts and livers to feed his dinosaur . Totally a madman!”

“I have heard a rumor that his mount is particularly fond of eating hearts and livers of living people, so he often kills people and takes their hearts and livers to feed it . He also calls the organs ‘snacks,’” another scout said .

Rafael’s face darkened . He screamed angrily, “Don’t tell rumors! Did you see that? Did you hear that? Even if it is true, shut your trap . I just had a meal!”

The two scouts laughed . The scout who had checked the bloodstains took out a folding shovel invented by Crick . He shoveled the flesh and blood debris to the side of the road and put some dirt to cover them . Then he took the shovel away and returned to his horse .

“Cap, do we continue chasing him?” he asked .



Rafael looked at the sky, then he said, nodding, “Let’s continue to chase but remember to keep a distance . We are not looking for a fight with that hybrid . ”

His subordinates nodded, and their team continued to move along the road .

At this time, people were quarreling at the manor’s gate . Groups of dozens of suitors were arriving constantly . With the number of their subordinates, the total number of people was already over 100 . They wanted to enter the manor, so they kept yelling . Although some guards were trying to block them, they couldn’t stop them at all .

If they didn’t fear about infuriating Crick Keane, they would have pushed the guards away forcibly and broke into the manor .

Then Connor came .

Looking at the messy scene here, he couldn’t help but laugh scornfully . After laughing, he didn’t talk to the guards nor did he greet the other suitors . He patted the head of his mount directly and said, “Move!”

The huge Land Walking Dinosaur immediately stepped forward and walked towards the inside of the manor . It completely ignored the people on the road and the guards who were trying to block them . It went straight into the manor .

It was too crowded, so the dinosaur directly trampled the crowd to go inside . At least three or four people were injured by its steps, and they fell to the ground, screaming in pain .

The companions of those people were shocked . They wanted to swear, but they didn’t dare . They had to hurriedly drag their companions back to the roadside . Other suitors were also shocked by Connor’s unreasonably fierce behavior, so they honestly just got out of his way . Then, his subordinates followed him closely, and they wandered into the manor .

As a result, the efforts of the guards were lost . After Connor and his group went in, the other suitors also followed and broke in . They went straight to the manor hall .

On the hill in the distance, Drucker nodded . He said to his subordinates, “Okay, let’s go . Let’s just join in the fun . ”

Then everyone rode on their horses and headed towards the manor .

“By the way, Master, when the time comes… how will you negotiate with Connor?” a competent subordinate asked .

Drucker smiled, and his fat, pig-like face showed murderous intent .

“Negotiate? No need to negotiate with that wolf . At that time, when you hear my secret signals, just shoot him directly with the poisonous crossbow, and all will be over . ”

“What?! But he is the prince of the Duchy of Griffon!”

“What are you afraid of? So many people are there, so it is easy to find a scapegoat,” Drucker said indifferently . “Just use this opportunity to remind the Keane family that they should recognize the situation . This piece of land, the territory known as the Pearl of Thunder, is ours from now on!”
