late at night.
Baronial Castle of Lancaster.
The Castle of the Barons of Lancaster is located in the Moorish Union, southwest of Florentia. As you can tell from the name, this is the castle of a Baron of Lancaster.
Baron Lancaster is a hereditary nobleman. The title was passed down from his grandfather's generation, first to his father, and then to him.
But the title was passed down, but the wealth was lost in his father's generation.
Baron Lancaster's father, the previous generation of Baron Lancaster, had been thinking about how to enjoy himself since he inherited the title. A grand banquet will be held every month, and every year they will patrol the territory, forcefully marry young girls they like into the castle, and then have fun in black and white.
In this way, the forty-year-old Baron Lancaster, after playing in bed for three full days, passed away with a smile, and the twenty-five-year-old Baron Lancaster succeeded him.
The young Baron Lancaster looked down upon his father very much after he succeeded him, and wanted to do some big things and revive the family's prestige. But the wealth accumulated from his grandfather's generation has been lost, and even if he has ambitions, he has no ability to implement them. You can only save expenses, re-accumulate wealth, and wait until you have accumulated enough before making plans.
For this reason, he has not married any aristocratic lady at the age of twenty-five, just because he is afraid that the aristocratic lady will spend money recklessly. He has not robbed any girl in the territory. After all, girls also spend money. At most, he reluctantly accepted the large number of women of various ages left by his father.
In his opinion, if he could save diligently and frugally for more than ten years, he would be able to almost fill the box containing silver coins. At that time, he will be able to have multiple elite armies and expand his territory crazily.
Who would have known that his plan had been implemented less than a year ago. Just a few days ago, when his box containing silver coins had just filled the bottom, a group of gray-robed men wearing raven patterns suddenly came to his castle.
The other party politely showed him the trick. With a wave of his hand, he smashed the door of his castle with a wind blade, and with a wave of powder, he used strong acid to corrode the long sword he was about to pull out.
Then the other party asked him very politely if he could borrow the castle for a while.
Now, no matter how stupid Lancaster was, he knew that what the other party was showing was not a trick but a spell, and his identity was not a juggler but a wizard. Without any hesitation, he agreed without any hesitation.
After that, the status of Baron Lancaster was downgraded to Lancaster Steward. Not only was the main castle given up, but Baal also had to take care of the food and various requirements of a group of wizards. The silver coins he finally saved were flowing like water. Spending money, Lancasta couldn't help but want to sell the woman she inherited from her father for money.
"When will days like this end!" Lancaster, who was in the side fort late at night, sighed, and then heard footsteps behind him.
Turning his head to look, he saw that she was a plump woman who was the favorite of the former Baron Lancaster, but she was not his type. In addition, due to the tight demands, he had already demoted her to a maid.
After glancing at the other party, Baron Lancaster asked aloud: "What's the matter?"
"Yes... the wizards of the main castle said..." the plump woman whispered, "They said there is not enough lamp oil and asked me to get some from the warehouse."
"Then go get it. Why do you need to come here to talk to me about such a trivial matter? Annoying!"
"But...but...the lamp oil in the warehouse has been used up."
"Well, it's all gone. How is that possible? Didn't I just buy it last month?"
"Lord Baron, you have forgotten that when you wanted to buy it last month, the price of lamp oil went up. You asked us to wait and see, but... didn't buy it."
"Then... what should we do? Just tell those wizards... um, wizards, there is no lamp oil, and let them use magic to illuminate themselves?"
"I... I remember, Lord Baron, there seems to be half a can of lamp oil in your room. If you take it all out, it may be enough for the wizards. When it gets bright, you can go buy it on horseback. It should be enough." The woman was careful. suggested.
"Then I won't light a lamp tonight? I ran out of candles two days ago, and now there's no oil left for me. You might as well kill me!" Baron Lancaster got angry, with a vicious expression on his face, and suddenly saw A wizard came out of the open space next to the side fort. One was older, dressed in white, and followed by two young wizards, one male and one female. Not sure whether it was intentional or unintentional, the young male wizard following behind glanced at him.
"Gah—"
Baron Lancaster's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the woman, scolding: "Didn't you hear what I said? Why are you standing there in a daze? What's the big deal if I don't light the lamp? What's important is to meet the needs of the wizards. Hurry up and send the lamp oil in my room to the wizards. By the way, there is lamp oil in my oil lamp. Pour it out and send it together. Come on, why are you standing there in a daze!"
The woman looked at Baron Lancaster with wide eyes. It took her a long time to react and quickly turned around to do it.
Lancaster quietly turned around and glanced at the wizards who came out. He saw the other wizards walking away and heard the faint sounds of "Communication Conference", "Attention", "Teacher Macbeth" and so on. He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, and whispered in a low voice: "You probably didn't hear it just now, um, I definitely didn't hear it, it was so dangerous, so dangerous..."
…
Macbeth, Gero, and Nancy were talking.
Macbeth spoke out and said to Gro and Nancy: "You should have heard what wizard Mephiles just said. In a few days, we will follow the other wizards' organization and follow the route to attack Deep Blue Castle."
"Will it be successful, teacher?" Nancy asked, her expression solemn.
"Is this..." Macbeth shrugged, "To be honest, I don't know. The last exchange meeting at Deep Blue Castle was a lesson. I thought everything went well, but who knew that something like that would happen? What to say this time? Accurate
However, I have been feeling uneasy since the Deep Blue Castle Exchange Conference. On the one hand, he was injured, but on the other hand, he felt that Deep Blue Castle seemed to be intending to promote this revenge war, just like it had promoted the previous exchange conference. "
"Then why are we still participating?" Gro said in confusion.
"There is no other way, we can only participate." Macbeth said, "Just like before, we had to attend the Deep Blue Castle Exchange Conference.
You have all experienced the destruction of White Rock City, and as long as we do not want to experience it a second time, we must stop the force that caused it. This force colludes with Deep Blue Castle in everything, and is waiting in front of us now. Either we take the initiative to approach, or we wait for the other party to approach. This is a conspiracy on the table, an obvious trap that we cannot bypass. "
"Ahem!"
Macbeth coughed twice, and a large area of dead gray appeared on his face, which took a long time to dissipate. He looked at Gro and Nancy and continued: "No matter what, no matter what is waiting in front, our White Stone Tower can only try it now." tried.
If it's good, we might be able to rebuild the White Stone Tower after destroying Deep Blue Castle. If it's bad, it won't be as bad as the rest. You two, work hard and strive to grow more in the battle. It would be great if you can find a chance to break through to the wizard. "
"Teacher Macbeth, don't worry, I have great confidence in breaking through and becoming a wizard!" Nancy said seriously.
Macbeth laughed, looked at Nancy and said: "I believe you. I have been optimistic about you since a long time ago, when we were on the big wheel. With your qualifications, wizards are not a problem at all, and first-level wizards are far away." It's not your limit. Your achievements will be higher than mine, and you will become a second-level wizard, or even a third-level wizard.
In fact, you know, with your excellence, the White Stone Tower cannot give you the best environment, and even other wizard organizations on the east coast may not be able to provide you with a suitable environment. You should go further, to the other side of thousands of mountains, to the main continent. There, you can grow faster and become a wizard in a shorter time. Of course, you can't leave now. Let’s wait until this war is over. "
"What about me?" Gero on the other side squeezed in front of Macbeth and asked unwillingly, also wanting to hear a few compliments.
As a result, Macbeth looked at him for a long time, patted his shoulder and said: "You, Gro, are actually not bad. Although your qualifications are not very good, at least your character is very strong. So if you fail to break through in this war , don’t be discouraged, try a few more times and you will always succeed. Well, come on.”
Gro: "..."
