Chapter 238: Chapter 170 Lance is Dead! Welcome the General’s Body Back to the Northern Borders!_3
Do you know what kind of flower this is?”
In Lance’s hand appeared a brilliantly colored, lotus-like flower.
“The God-Eating Blood Lotus!”
“Yes, the legendary flower that can poison a Giant Dragon to death. Those nobles, lords, ministers… merchants should recognize it. After I die, tell Andre to write in the history books: ‘The corrupt official… was executed by hanging…'”
While speaking, Lance picked a purple-red lotus flower and brought it to his mouth, slowly chewing… swallowing….
One petal, two petals, three petals… Nearly half of the [God-Eating Snow Lotus] was consumed by Lance…
Princess Elusha watched as black blood seeped from the corners of Lance’s mouth, her eyes reddening… She tried to snatch the [God-Eating Snow Lotus] from Lance’s hand and failed…
“Goodbye… Elusha…..”
Then… she watched helplessly as Lance slowly ate nearly half of the [God-Eating Snow Lotus].
She watched as the life force in Lance grew weaker and weaker.
She watched as black-and-red blood endlessly flowed from the corners of Lance’s mouth… dripping onto his platinum-colored robe…
She watched as Lance, with a smile on his face… slowly closed his golden-red eyes…
She watched as Lance’s left hand, holding the [God-Eating Snow Lotus], slowly drooped to his side…
She watched as Lance’s head slowly bowed…
Until—
The spark of life was completely extinguished—
Tears slid down Elusha’s cheeks…
“Lance… Lance… Lance… if… if… if there’s an afterlife… if in the next life I… we… can meet again… can… can… can you look at me? Can you… take me as your student?
Can you… stop being a corrupt official… can you…”
“Master!!!”
The members of the Bronze Bounty Guild saw their master’s drooping left hand… and his slowly sagging head…
Realizing what had happened, they hurried towards their master; and when Meredith, Louis, Dalton, Bazel, and the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild saw the platinum robe stained with black-red blood…
And the black-and-red blood still dripping from the corners of his mouth…
Their minds went blank.
They couldn’t believe it… couldn’t believe that the master had died right before their eyes…
“Master…..”
Watching the master depart with a smile on his face, Meredith and Annie could no longer hold back… and burst into tears.
Andre, standing on the city walls, heard the crying of the Bronze Guild members and saw Lance, his head drooping, at that moment.
Everything went black before his eyes… and he fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, there was a Pharmacist on the city wall who used medicine to awaken Andre from his coma.
“Where is… where is my teacher? I remember… my teacher was outside the city… don’t support me… get out of my way… I need to find my teacher….
My teacher is waiting for me below the city wall… I need to see my teacher… get out of my way… get lost!!! I told you to get out of the way!!!
“Your Majesty, you mustn’t go! You mustn’t! Below are the rebels, if you…”
“Get out of my way!!!”
With a kick, Andre sent the official blocking his path sprawling and stumbled down the city wall. Under the protection of the Bronze Army, he reached the city gates, “Open the gates, open them quickly, my teacher is outside waiting for me….”
“Your Majesty…. calm down… you must….”@@novelbin@@
“Open the gates!!! That’s an order from the King!!!”
Facing Andre’s bloodshot eyes, the soldiers guarding the city gates didn’t dare to defy his command, and they opened the gates.
Andre stumbled toward the spot where his teacher, Lance, was located.
Generals from the military headquarters, soldiers guarding the city, and the sheriffs all followed suit.
“Teacher… I’m here… I’ve come… I’ve come….”
Andre, stumbling, pushed through the members of the Bronze Guild to reach his teacher, Lance.
When he saw the dark crimson blood oozing from the corner of his teacher’s mouth, another wave of dizziness hit him, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
“Teacher… I’m here, open your eyes… While you were not around, I earned quite a bit of money, shall we split it when I get back? This time I’ll give you more… I won’t compete with you, okay?
“Open your eyes, teacher…. It’s not dark yet…. You can’t sleep now…. Please don’t sleep…. I’ll give you all the money I’ve recently made, all of it, okay? I won’t share it with you….
“Teacher…. Teacher…. Open your eyes…. I don’t have to be the King… I can give the throne to Elusha, didn’t you say you wanted to build a huge manor for me and Meredith to retire to?
“I’ll pay for it… I’ll pay to have it built for you, okay? Once it’s built, I’ll look after you in old age, I won’t be busy anymore, I’ll go fishing with you…..
“Teacher…. Please don’t sleep, I’m begging you….. If you don’t wake up…. Your money….. I’ll take it all, not leaving you a single Gold Coin, your little treasury…. Your little treasury….. Yours…
Ahhh!!!!!”
Andre’s emotions completely spiraled out of control, filled with hatred!
He hated that he, as the King, couldn’t even protect his own teacher!
He hated that his position as King was obtained at the cost of his teacher’s life!
The Northern Borders Army…..
Elusha…..
Those nobles, ministers, lords, and merchants who spread rumors, acting contrary to their words, forcing my teacher’s death…..
Death!!!
I want you all dead!!!
“Lance has died!”
Princess Elusha stepped back a few paces, raised her gun, and shouted tributes.
Boom——
Tens of thousands from the Northern Borders Army faced Lance and knelt on one knee simultaneously.
“Northern Borders Army——welcomes General Lance back to the Northern Borders!!!”
“Northern Borders Army——welcomes General Lance back to the Northern Borders!!!”
“Northern Borders Army——welcomes General Lance back to the Northern Borders!!!”
After the third call, a unit of the Northern Borders Army clad in black heavy armor stood up and stepped forward to kneel again before the deceased Lance.
“Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. It was General Lance’s dying wish to return to the Northern Borders and be buried on his favorite scenic mountain peak, please…. do not interfere.”
Andre paid no attention to the Northern Borders Army; he cut a strip from his royal robe with his great sword and walked over to Lance, carefully wiping the blood from the corners of his teacher’s mouth.
“Teacher, take your time, soon… soon there will be many people joining you. Your manor… I’ll have it built…. I assure you it will be more magnificent than you ever imagined, and once it’s finished… I’ll go to the Northern Borders to bring you back.”
