Emyr did not quite believe Julie's words. However, he suddenly recalled what Baron Hogg had just said.
He was going to leave this place.
Emyr looked at Julie in surprise. "Are you really the new Lord of Ellington?!"
"Emyr!"
Shouts came from afar.
"I'm here!"
Emyr responded. Julie's heart skipped a beat. "You're Emyr? You're part of Ellington's militia? "
"That's right."
Emyr frowned. "Since you're part of Ellington's militia, why weren't you there when the town was attacked?"
Julie stomped her feet, her face full of anger. "It's all because of that stupid Pig Overlord! He was worried about his own safety, so he ordered Ronnie to call all of us over. "
"Overlord? Ronnie? "
"Overlord Baron Hogg is a complete idiot!"
Julie said angrily. "And Ronnie, as the captain of the militia, is always like Hogg's private soldiers. It's so disappointing."
"Emyr, what's wrong with me?"
The young and impetuous Ronnie walked over. "Who is this gentleman?"
Julie hugged Elijah and snorted. "He's Mr. Emyr. If it weren't for him, Elijah would have met with an accident."
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Emyr. However, this is Ellington's matter. We're confident that we can solve it ourselves."
Ronnie spoke in a neutral tone. He looked at Emyr with displeasure. If it weren't for Emyr, he would be the one in the limelight. Moreover, it would be easier to explain to Barker.
"Is that so? But I don't think you can do anything other than protect that Pig Overlord. Besides, he has the right to care about this matter because he's the new Lord here! "
Julie mocked Ronnie mercilessly, making Ronnie very embarrassed. He turned his head and vented his anger on Emyr. "New Lord? What proof do you have that you're the new Lord? Julie, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you're too naive. How could you believe anything that anyone says? "
Emyr silently took out the Suzerain's Appointment Letter and threw it at Ronnie's face.
Ronnie picked up the appointment letter and looked at it. His expression changed slightly.
He was Hogg's follower. If Hogg really left, the fact that he helped Hogg betray Ellington would be exposed!
"Who can prove that this is true? What if it was forged? This letter of appointment must be reviewed by Lord Hogg! "
Ronnie gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Speaking of which, your appearance is so coincidental. Could you be an accomplice of the bandits? Now that the situation is so dangerous, you must accept the investigation. Mr. Emyr, you better surrender obediently and accompany us to see Lord Hogg! "
Looking at the dumbfounded Emyr, Ronnie continued, "After we investigate and verify the authenticity of this letter of appointment, we will let Lord Hogg make the decision!"
Ronnie dismissed and pushed all the risks to Baron Hogg.
The Appointment Letter is fake?
Julie looked at Ronnie with a dumbfounded expression. Is this guy's brain filled with sh * t!? He dares to forge something like this!?
"Ronnie!"
At this time, Hogg's private soldiers also rushed over and asked sternly, "Where are the bandits!?"
"The bandits were all killed by me!"
Ronnie shamelessly took the credit for himself. He then pointed at Emyr and said, "This guy is very suspicious. He took a Suzerain's Appointment Letter and said that he's the new Lord. I think Lord Hogg should investigate his identity."
New Lord!?
The private soldiers immediately looked at Emyr with unfriendly expressions and clenched their weapons.
Julie shouted, "Ronnie, that's enough!"
"Big Brother Emyr is not a bad person …"
Elijah also timidly supported Emyr. Ronnie glared at her and she was so scared that she shrank into Julie's arms.
"Stop!"
Fiona rushed over and shouted sternly, "How dare you disrespect the Lord!?"
"Huh?"
Ronnie and Hogg's private soldiers saw Fiona and their eyes lit up. They said, "How should I address you, Miss? It's not safe outside now. Why don't you come back with us to the Lord's Mansion to rest? Lord Hogg will definitely welcome you. "
Fiona showed her family crest and said coldly, "Julie, Julie Golden Rose."
Although the Golden Rose family no longer existed, it was not a problem to use the family crest to scare the country bumpkins.
Ronnie was stunned and took a deep breath. He looked more respectful, "… Hello, Miss Golden Rose."
Although Ronnie was lustful, he knew that a noble lady was not someone he could reach. Besides, Ellington was so remote. It was the first time they saw a noble lady other than Lord Hogg.
Fiona snorted coldly, "Emyr is the new Lord. I'm the chief consultant he hired. You dare to doubt his identity? I'll let your Lord punish you!"
Ronnie frowned, "Miss Golden Rose, the situation is dangerous now. If you want to prove your identity, please come with us to see Lord Hogg."
Hogg's private soldiers said, "Yes, Miss Golden Rose. If there's anything, you should talk to our Lord. We can't make the decision."
"We'll talk to him, but not now."
Emyr said indifferently, "There are still so many people injured by the bandits, and you're wasting your time here."
Ronnie, who was glaring at him, pulled out his sword and said sternly, "Are you guilty?!"
Hogg's private soldiers looked at him with disdain, "Those lowlifes are dead. How can they compare to a strand of Lord Hogg's hair?"
Although Emyr knew that the hierarchy in this world was very clear, he found that he was still too conservative.
However, this was his own territory, and the population was not large. He could not sit back and watch them die.
Emyr thought for a moment, then said to Julie, "If you don't mind, can you help me gather the wounded in this square? I have medicine that can help treat them. "
Julie was overjoyed, "Can I?!"
"Of course."
"Ronnie! Give me ten people, and then you take the others to put out the fire, clean up the damaged houses, and search for the wounded! "
Julie gave the order to Ronnie without hesitation. Although she was not the captain, her commanding ability was usually stronger, and her fighting strength was also one of the best, so everyone was used to listening to her orders.
Before Ronnie could speak, he found that some people had already followed her. Although he felt that Julie made him lose face, he could only reluctantly take the rest of the people to put out the fire.
"Are you really going to treat them?"
Julie asked softly, "If you really have medicine, there's no need to waste it here."
Emyr looked at Julie with a faint smile, "You think it's a waste?"
Fiona did not say anything, but the meaning in her eyes was obvious.
"Julie, you have to know one thing. An opportunity to buy people's hearts so easily can't be bought with money."
Julie still could not understand. Emyr was about to become the lord of this place. In that case, why did he care about the hearts of these ordinary people?
Hogg's private soldiers were not under the jurisdiction of Ronnie and the rest, so they did not leave. Instead, they hid at the side and stared at Emyr and Julie. At this time, someone had already run back to inform them.
"What did you say? There's a guy called Emyr who said he's the new lord, and there's a noble lady who chased away the bandits together? "
Hogg's mouth was wide open in surprise. The new lord was indeed called Emyr, but there was actually a noble who was willing to come to Ellington, a place where even birds don't shit?
"Yes, the new lord is now planning to treat the wounded lowly people."
"When did alchemy potions become so worthless?"
Hogg frowned, his eyes rolling, and said, "Continue to watch them. If there's any news, report it quickly."
"Yes!"
In the square, Julie had already worked together with the other residents to gather the injured people. At a rough glance, there were already several hundred people who were seriously injured, not to mention those who were lightly injured.
Now, the square was filled with howls of grief. Julie looked at Emyr expectantly. These people usually took care of her. Now that she saw these familiar faces being tortured in pain, she felt very uncomfortable.
Emyr roughly counted the number of injured people and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He did not have many Health Potions in his bag. Although there were many materials in the warehouse, he could not just take them out and make them on the spot, right?
Now, he could only test the effects of the Extreme Health Potions he usually used. Then, he would see how many people he could save.
Emyr pretended to fumble around in his bosom. With a flash of light, he took out a bottle of Extreme Health Potion from his bag and fed it to the injured person next to him.
After taking a small sip, the several large wounds on the person's body healed in an instant. His severed arm regrew in the blink of an eye. It was as if he had not been injured at all.
Holy shit!?
Emyr was shocked by the powerful effects of the Extreme Health Potion. Before he could recover, he heard Julie let out an ear-piercing scream, causing him to tremble in fright.
Emyr jumped in fright. "What's wrong?"
"This, this, this …"
Julie pointed at the crystal clear, bright red bottle of Extreme Health Potion in Emyr's hand. She trembled and could not speak.
Emyr was stunned. "It's a Health Potion. What's wrong?"
"The Goddess, the Goddess's Blood … This is the Goddess's Blood!"
Julie's face was full of shock. She was in a mess. "You actually have the Goddess's Blood — and you want to use it to save these civilians!?"
Julie had seen the Goddess's Blood at an auction before. Several large families had paid a huge price to fight for that small bottle of the Goddess's Blood. Just a small bottle of the Goddess's Blood was sold for a sky-high price of a million gold coins!
If it were not for the huge change in that guy after drinking the potion, Julie would not even dare to confirm that the bottle in Emyr's hand was the Goddess's Blood!
This could no longer be described as wasteful and squandering. It was said that although the Goddess's Blood was not rare, due to its purity, it was extremely difficult to refine. Even the Master Alchemists in the City of Silver could not produce it.
Only the Radiant Church had a small stock of it. Just one drop was enough to save a seriously injured person. Its effect was comparable to a divine spell that could bring the dead back to life. The most amazing thing was that the Goddess's Blood did not have any side effects!
Many Recovery Potions made by Alchemists would have side effects if taken continuously within a short period of time. The effects would become weaker and weaker. However, the Goddess's Blood did not have any side effects. It could restore people to their most perfect state!
He, he actually took out such a valuable treasure to treat these civilians!?
Julie did not know what to say to him. After all, she was now only Emyr's business consultant. She had no right to criticize the lord's actions.
The Goddess's Blood?
Emyr's expression was strange. It sounded as if the Health Potions he drank before were the Goddess's Blood of Menstruation. It made him feel a little disgusted.
Julie said exasperatedly, "Do you know!? If you sell this bottle of the Goddess's Blood in your hand, you can buy at least half of the town! "
"Oh, I know."
Emyr nodded noncommittally. "I didn't expect this thing to be so valuable …"
"It's not just valuable … Wait, what are you doing!?"
Julie thought that Emyr finally understood the importance of the Goddess's Blood. However, she saw him walk to another seriously injured civilian and give him a small sip. Julie immediately stomped her feet in pain.
"Of course it's to save people."
Emyr said matter-of-factly. "No matter how precious the potion is, if you don't drink it, it won't be useful, right? Besides, I'm an Alchemist myself. I don't need to worry about this. "
"You, you … Sigh …"
Julie sighed. She was really speechless.
