Chapter 264

The Thornton family was once a small Lord in the southeast border of the Gambis kingdom. Imosen's family served the Thornton family from generation to generation. His grandfather and father were Baron Thornton's hunting managers. As the eldest son of this vassal family, imosen will inherit the position of hunting manager in the future. Since childhood, he began to learn the knowledge of various animals, assist his grandfather and father in managing the Lord's cattle and sheep, treat sick livestock, train hunting dogs and war horses, and inspect the wild resources led by the baron.

Emerson has been smart since childhood and has shown great talent in animal training. His hounds and horses are full of spirit and know how to cooperate with his master's actions. With these excellent hounds, the Thornton family can always shine in the hunting activities of the nobility. Therefore, imosen was highly valued by Baron Thornton. At the age of 20, he replaced his father and became the hunting manager for Baron Thornton.

In the Lord's internal affairs system, the position of hunting manager is second only to the Lord's housekeeper. At the age of 20, Emerson became the hunting manager and became a hot figure in the Thornton family. In the same year, the Baron's housekeeper married his little daughter to the young and promising Emerson.

Marrying the housekeeper's daughter is the most beautiful moment in imosen's life. The garrison priest Parker presides over the wedding and Baron Thornton personally testifies to them. The dignified vassals in the family send blessings to the new couple. Thornton's father's face is full of pride, because his son is the best hunter, the best veterinarian, the best animal trainer and the best hunting manager.

At that time, no one knew that imosen was a wizard.

When Emerson was 14, he found that he could understand the meaning expressed by various animals. He immediately realized that he might be a legendary wizard. After all, Emerson, who had been educated as a servant, was not an ignorant farmer's son. He hid the secret in his heart and didn't reveal it to anyone.

After a period of time, imosen was burdened with heavy psychological pressure and dared not approach the animals any more. He became in a trance, depressed, haggard and finally fell ill. The heirs of the hunting director are afraid of animals? Imosen became a joke for Thornton. In order to save the family's reputation, Grandpa spent 400 gold sol to ask the resident priest to perform divine arts for imosen when the ordinary herbal medicine treatment was ineffective.

The effect of divine skill was surprisingly good. Emerson could walk down the ground at that time. The next day, he went out with his father to take care of the Lord's livestock, and gradually showed his extraordinary talent for taming animals. Rumors about the hunting manager's family were cleared. Imosen's parents thanked the priest and donated money to the church.

In fact, magic is good at healing wounds, and its therapeutic effect on diseases can only be regarded as ordinary, sometimes not as good as herbal medicine. What the stationed priest really cured was his heart disease. Imosen found that the priest of the Lord of glory was not aware of his identity as a wizard, which reassured him completely.

Since then, imosen has become more and more courageous, began to use his ability to train hounds and horses, and became the greatest animal trainer of the Thornton family.

If it hadn't been for an accident, Emerson might have lived like this forever.

It was the third year after bell was born. Imosen took his three-year-old daughter and accompanied his wife back to his mother's house. At noon that day, bell was taking a nap. Imosen obeyed his wife's orders and went into the room to take care of his baby daughter. Just as he was wiping his sweat for bell, he suddenly woke up to the third witchcraft - wisdom guidance. This is a high-level sorcery. Emerson's hand on Bell's forehead directly shows a red rune. This scene was just seen by the maid. The woman thought bell was a wizard and screamed loudly.

Bell's uncle broke in. He saw the rune spinning on Bell's forehead. Imosen was trying to cover it with his hand, and the maid shouted at Bell. So he quickly closed the door and killed the maid on the spot. At this time, imosen also controlled the rune and dissipated it.

But it was too late. The emergence of a wizard's son was disastrous to the vassal family. In order to maintain their power, both sides agreed to execute bell secretly. Imosen acquiesced to the result, but his wife fled overnight with bell. Emerson and Bell's uncle catch up with their mother and daughter in the wild. In order to protect their daughter, Bell's mother died in the hands of her brother. His wife's dying cry and Bell's cry touched imosen's conscience and father's love. He killed his wife's brother and set foot on the road of escape with Bell and several hounds.

Imosen has rich knowledge of wild survival. With the help of alienated hounds, they walk day and night. After going through difficulties and dangers, they finally enter the human horse hills and stay away from the human world. However, the forest man and horse hated alienated creatures very much. It killed imosen's alienated hounds before migration and expelled his father and daughter to the lizard swamp.

Lizard swamp is full of crisis. Imosen relies on more than 30 alienated mice and lives very hard. He didn't stand firm until he successfully alienated a swamp dragon lizard. Later, the alienated dragon lizard itugos swept the ogre tribe. Imosen finally occupied a territory in the Everglades and established relations with the half dragon tribe. At the prompt of the half dragon man, imosen avoided the ant tide and was finally captured by Jack.

Imosen narrated the story very well. With his old face, gray hair and choking from time to time, his experience is simply a tearful film, which makes people can't bear to question the authenticity of the story. Unfortunately, Victor still found many loopholes, but now is not the time to expose them.

"Communication will, alienated creatures and wisdom guidance. Of your three witchcraft, only wisdom guidance needs to have present runes, and the other two won't attract the priest's attention?"

Imosen wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and whispered, "yes, sir."

"Then show me a creature now." Said Victor with great interest.

Alienated creatures are of great value to the Lord. Victor's request made imosen secretly happy, but he was so weak that he couldn't use alienated creatures. He had to explain in fear: "Sir, I haven't recovered from my injury. I'm afraid I can't perform witchcraft in a few days."

"Then, can the flesh and blood of the alienated creatures created by witchcraft alienate other creatures?"

"This... Doesn't seem to work."

Imosen hesitated for a moment. He didn't dare to lie on this issue. He honestly said, "my alienated creatures are not natural alienation. Their flesh and blood are invalid for ordinary creatures."

"That's useless?" Victor asked deliberately.

"My Lord, I can control alienated creatures. As long as I give them time to grow, they are definitely stronger than your fierce wolf." Imosen tried to explain and implied his value to victor.

Alienation is even rarer than ferocity. Most alienated animals are low-level creatures of insects, and intelligent species will never alienate. There are many strange forms of alienated creatures, but they always develop in the direction conducive to killing. Their bodies become extraordinarily large, their strength and agility are doubled, and they are much more dangerous than violent animals.

Alienated animals are mentally retarded, have a strong bloodthirsty instinct, and can't reproduce. However, the flesh and blood of alienated animals will lead to the alienation of other creatures, but this alienation infection will gradually weaken and finally form a new species.

In the era of God chosen, wizards used the flesh and blood of alienated creatures to cultivate powerful war beasts. This method has been spread to this day. The swift dragon of Gambis, the unicorn of Rand Empire and the sword spider of Neville are war beasts cultivated by alienation. The Knights formed by them and knights are the strategic forces of all kingdoms.

Alienated war animals are not inferior to violent animals in terms of physique, strength and endurance, and their combat effectiveness is better. Moreover, their offspring are equally powerful, but their intelligence is slightly worse than that of violent animals, and they do not have a keen intuition to understand danger. In addition, alienated war animals only eat meat, and the feeding cost is surprisingly high.

Imosen's alienated creatures can't cultivate alienated war beasts, so they lose their greatest value. Although he emphasizes that they can be controlled and strengthened, which is exactly what Victor doesn't need.

Victor will never cultivate uncontrolled power. The stronger the power imosen has, the more intolerable he will be. Moreover, with the alchemical dragon lizard, Victor had little interest in alienated war beasts.

In Victor's view, the only value of this witchcraft is to provide strong alienated animal leather, but it also depends on the feeding cost and the quality of leather.

Compared with alienated creatures, Victor is more concerned about the relationship between imosen and lizard man.

"Can you communicate with lizard people?"

"What's the relationship between lizard man and you?"

"Do you have a deal with that lizard tribe?"

"How large is the lizard tribe and how powerful is it?"

Victor asked very carefully. Imosen also answered one by one and introduced some habits of lizard people, but he didn't know that the alchemical militia knew more about lizard people than he did.

Lizards are amphibious, fish and hunt for a living, and raise snake demons as war animals. Tribal members have a close relationship, but tribes are very indifferent and even have blood feuds. Nine headed snake lizard is a totem monster worshipped by lizard people. In order to get close to the territory of nine headed snake lizard, fierce battles often occur between tribes. Powerful lizard people tribes can serve nine headed snake lizard and thrive under the protection of giant animals. The weak tribes can only be driven away and struggle to survive in the dangerous swamp.

There are only more than 500 members of the lizard tribe that imosen has made friends with. Raising 13 snake demons can only be regarded as a small tribe. According to the violent ratio of lizard people 30 to 1, this small tribe has up to 20 violent lizard people, and its strength is very general.

In fact, the lizard tribe regards itugos as a totem beast and breeds in its territory. Now, itugos has lost control and become a real alienated creature. This tribe has fallen into blood mold. Whether they can survive is a problem, let alone trade with them.

The recent lizard tribe was so finished. Victor was in a bad mood. He looked at imosen and said coldly, "imosen, I hate being cheated."

Imosen's face turned white. He did hide something, but it was also for Belle's safety. At this time, he could only harden his head and say, "Sir, I dare not deceive you."

"Really?" Victor said faintly, "you said, you and Belle have been in the Everglades for more than ten years." With that, Victor pointed to a confused Belle and asked in a cold voice, "do you think I'm blind? Is Belle a teenager?"

According to Emerson, Belle fled at the age of three and spent twelve years in the Everglades. Now she is at least 15. A 15-year-old girl can get married, but Victor thinks belle is a 7-year-old or 8-year-old girl.

"My Lord, I don't know why, Belle... She grows so slowly."

Imosen stood up, bowed to victor and explained, "Belle may have eaten too little salt when she was young. She grew very slow and couldn't speak. During this time, she has grown much taller and... So much." Imosen scratched a gap with his fingers and said with a sad face, "my Lord, I really didn't lie to you!"

Looking at Emerson sweating anxiously, Victor was silent. There are people with developmental retardation or even underdevelopment on the earth, which is a congenital disease.

Thinking of this, Victor also approved of Emerson's explanation, but there is still a doubt.

"You said, Belle was kidnapped by an ogre. The next day, you saved her?"

"Yes, my Lord."

Victor sneered: "after a day, the ogres didn't eat belle? Do they think belle is too thin and need to fatten up?"

This is really a fact. After the ogre caught Belle, the tribe members formed a group in order to decide how to distribute the little dot. Finally, the tribal leader proposed to fatten the little ones and divide them again, and the ogres clapped their hands. As for what is fat, clan members refer to the standards of Ogre leaders, because it is the fattest. If imosen doesn't save Belle, she can live well in the ogre tribe.

Don't say Victor didn't believe it, and imosen was confused. He smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know why."

Victor always felt that imosen had something to hide, but he didn't want to push too hard. The wizard's ability was very valuable, and Belle was his weakness.

As long as belle is in his hand, Victor is not afraid that imosen can turn over.

Victor said to the four armored Tauren militia, "take Mr. imosen and miss Belle down to rest."

When the Emersons left the hall, Victor turned to Jack and said, "three days later, you quietly took Emerson to the hill camp.

"I want to see if he can communicate with the fish man!"
