Tauren Overlord

Even if we arrest a few more people, it would be good to give Aicao Town, whose financial situation is on the verge of collapse, a soft landing.

It's a pity that his innocent and righteous daughter doesn't even understand this...

As for finding the real thief, Pierre knew that his daughter had such determination, but he didn't think she had such ability.

In order to truly solve this problem, he could only ask for help from Edric, the governor of the Beast Suppression Province.

Only more powerful lords can recruit and support more powerful spellcasters.

Only with the intervention of more powerful spellcasters can the situation in Artemisia Town be turned around.

Now, reinforcements have finally arrived.

Pierre finally put down the code in his hand at the urging of his wife Margaret.

He went downstairs with his wife to greet Gaspard, the "Re-emerger" who was the affairs officer under Governor Edric.

When he went down to take a look, Pierre found that this "re-enactor of the past" was indeed luxurious. Even his mount was a Pegasus as white as snow.

This breed is also considered superior among Pegasus, and is probably more than 10 times more expensive than ordinary land war horses.

Considering the limited economic income of Artemisia Town, Pierre could not afford such a mount even if it was not stolen or robbed.

This precious mount cannot be bought with money, because Pegasus has always been unruly and more difficult to tame than land horses.

In order to use a Pegasus as a mount, it must be captured when it is still a foal and trained for a long time.

Even the best Pegasus knight needs many years of training to gain the trust of Pegasus.

However, when it comes to training and domestication, the costs of Pegasus are much higher than those of land horses.

Without a wealthy family, it is impossible to own such a mount.

So when Pierre looked at the Pegasus of Gaspard, the "re-enactor of the past", he could only hold back his envy and jealousy.

Didn't Pierre also want to form an air force of his own?

Even nobles and rulers are divided into different classes.

Some lords' affairs officers can own better mounts than some lords.

However, no matter how much he gritted his teeth, Pierre could only hope that the powerful spellcasters under the Governor's command could discover the secret of the giant thief.

At the same time, Lu Heng, who discovered the "Reappearance of the Old One" Gaspard through the landing point vision, couldn't help but complain:

A mere earl's affairs officer is already talking about the "old days"? Isn't this too strong?

79. 40 people? That’s a lot of people!

Artemisia Town, weapons warehouse.

Gaspard takes Pierre with him to investigate the theft.

Lu Heng also moved his vision towards the landing point.

He estimated that Gaspard, as the governor's affairs officer, must be a level higher than the affairs officers in small places like the Mountain Territory and Wormwood Town.

Gaspard's temperament is also different. This middle-aged man looks smart and serious. If he were in his hometown, he would be more like a scientific researcher.

Putting him among a group of "medieval knights", he seems a bit out of place.

This made Lu Heng curious, and he wanted to see what this "reappearance of the past" could do.

However, before he knew it, Lu Heng's vision had begun to blur.

He saw Gaspard and Pierre appear as shadows and walk backwards out of the weapons warehouse.

But they are clearly there.

Then, Lu Heng felt that time was passing rapidly - no, the speed of time flowing backwards had obviously accelerated.

The sun throws itself wholeheartedly into the embrace of the east, causing the world to retreat from dawn into night.

Then the sun rose again from the west, bringing light back to the world after sunset.

For a minute, time flew backwards until Gaspard finally got to the time of the warehouse theft.

After that, time began to flow normally.

As the victim, Pierre finally saw the guy who stole his things—he turned out to be a minotaur!

When Pierre saw Lu Heng buying things for free, he became so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and chop him down immediately.

Gaspard, the "Re-emerger of the Past", simply patted Pierre on the shoulder and said:

"What we see is just a projection of past history. Even if you attack its past shadow, you cannot destroy it today."

Pierre finally calmed down a little.

At the same time, Lu Heng also discovered that this "reappearance of the past" was indeed something.

This is not only because he has a powerful ability to peek into historical projections, Lu Heng also discovered through spiritual vision that there are at least three glowing objects on his body.

Lu Heng used the entry ability to confirm that they were all second-level sealed objects, which means they were on the same level as the Padlock Gun.

This made it difficult for Lu Heng to assess Gaspard's combat effectiveness.

If we teleport over rashly, it will likely lead to a fierce battle with no certainty of victory.

So Lu Heng followed his heart's choice and planned to improve his own strength first and then fight with the governor's affairs officer later.

And before the decisive battle, Lu Heng planned to take this opportunity to carefully observe the abilities of this "Reappearance of the Old One".

Gaspard just watched silently as Lu Heng pushed one weapon after another into the portal beneath his feet.

After a long time, he put his five fingers together, and the projection of history froze at this moment.

Gaspard turned to the Lord of Wormwood Town beside him and asked a series of questions:

"Don't you think it's strange?"

"If it can open a door that swallows everything anytime and anywhere, why would it open it in a place where no one is?"

"Shouldn't the best application scenario for this ability be inside the enemy's body?"

Hearing him say this, Pierre's heart trembled involuntarily. He didn't know how to answer. Only an inexplicable fear filled his mind.

If the entrance to the Devouring Gate was generated directly in his internal organs, he might be killed by this minotaur thief at any time!

Facing such a powerful minotaur, I still want to go find it. Isn't this seeking death?

Seeing that Pierre did not respond, Gaspard asked himself:

"Then there is only one reasonable explanation. It can indeed open the Devouring Gate relatively freely, but the conditions for using this ability are also somewhat restricted."

"At present, it seems that the place where this devouring gate first opens must be an empty area without other solid matter."

"The essence of this restriction should be psychic power. Otherwise, it is hard to explain why he has such a useful ability but uses it in such a small place."

"If you want to devour equipment or property, it would definitely be better to go to Thessaloniki, the capital of the Beast Suppression Province."

"Then why didn't it go?"

"This means that this Devouring Gate... No, it should be some kind of portal, because this Minotaur came out from there."

"This kind of portal can be completely blocked by Thessaloniki's anti-magic barrier. It cannot be opened directly inside the human body. The same principle applies."

"Because the human body naturally contains a certain amount of spiritual energy, but we spellcasters have a higher content, while ordinary farmers have a lower content."

"As long as there is even a minimal reserve of psionic matter, the human body has a natural psionic field, which can limit the use of the portal."

Pierre could only pretend not to care about the comment about "this little place".

Although Pierre was a lord and Gaspard was an official, they were both nobles, but one had a fiefdom and the other had no real fiefdom.

However, Gaspard has another identity. He is a subordinate of Edric, the governor of the Beast Suppression Province. To some extent, he also represents the authority of the governor.

This forced Pierre to try to please him a little. After all, he still needed this "re-emergence of the past" to verify his losses.

Pierre also knew that the governor never liked the small lords within the province to over-conserve their power.

If he sent out too few troops, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the governor.

But he really couldn't send many ranged troops to fight alongside the governor, which meant that the troops he dispatched were definitely smaller than normal.

He had no choice but to say to Gaspard:

"Not only did this beastman take all my crossbows, he also stole our war machines!"

"Now you can see that our Artemisia Town is really in trouble."

It was not difficult for Gaspard to hear the hidden meaning of Pierre's words, but he was obviously more concerned about the Minotaur thief.

He pointed to the scene where the Minotaur Bandit was collecting crossbow arrows, and continued:

"Crossbow... How could a beastman of its level use such a low-grade weapon?"

Then Gaspard asked himself again and answered:

"I think there is only one explanation, this weapon was not left for its own use."

"The identity of this minotaur may be a beastman lord, and it is providing weapons to its troops."

"However, beastmen of its level usually command more elite troops. The crossbows in this warehouse are really useless."

"If we want to find a barely plausible explanation, it is that it is arming its cannon fodder troops, most likely the ratmen."

Pierre was scolded again unintentionally, but he had to continue the conversation along with Gaspard's topic:

"Since it still needs these low-level weapons, it means its overall strength is not that strong."

"A truly powerful person, such as our Lord Governor, never has weak subordinates."

Gaspard ignored Pierre's flattery. His expression was even more serious than before:

"No, this is bad news. If it opened the door to steal the crossbow, then it must have inspected the environment here before opening the door."

"Although I don't know what its means are, it can see here..."

Gaspard paused and exhaled:

"It's even possible that it's watching us right now!"

"You should be careful about what you say. Even now, it may be eavesdropping!"

After hearing what Gaspard, the "Re-emerger of the Past", said, Lu Heng, who was spying on them, felt a little nervous!

Wow, the governor still has some people on his side!

Someone like Gaspard can analyze his own teleportation skills almost accurately through limited means.

Fortunately, he didn't know where the battlefield was where the White Legion was annihilated, otherwise, he would definitely be able to restore the battlefield.

Although Lu Heng could use strange punishment methods to prevent Di Yao from revealing all the true information about the battle, it would be difficult to do so for other investigators.

Especially this "Reappearance of the Past", he is really a tricky guy.

After a long pause, Gaspard asked Pierre again:

"Has anyone offered a bounty on this minotaur?"

Pierre replied:

"The Mountain Territory is also offering a reward for adventurers to hunt down the Tauren. The reward has already been raised to 20."

"But I'm not sure if the minotaur we're hunting over there and this one are..."

Before Pierre could finish, Gaspard shook his head slightly.

"Too little."

"It's not like I haven't seen special arts like instant teleportation before, but it seems that the distance it can teleport to is greater than the entire Wormwood Town."

"This ability is at least level two. No, it could even be level three."

"You should also raise the bounty on this side to at least 200 million."

"Don't worry about the money. I can help you apply for a special hunting order from the Governor."

What Gaspard meant was that you don't have to pay for it because you can't afford it anyway.

At the same time, Lu Heng also knew that his prices had suddenly increased, and he was being targeted.

However, Gaspard's next words further increased Lu Heng's nervousness.
