Imperial Crown

"Your Majesty the Earl is so excited."

A man was approaching with a smile.

He has an extremely rare short hair, and each strand is standing up to the sky, like a broom placed upside down.

There is a sparkling crystal earring on the left ear, which has a rebellious personality.

A mage's robe is draped around his body, with nebula-like light spots all over it, constantly spinning and flying on the dark blue robe.

If you observe carefully, you can also find that even the dust in the slightly turbid air cannot get close to the robe.

Facing this man, even Count Tudor showed enough respect. He cleared his throat, took off his hat and saluted:

"Master Kuili, what problems did you find when you went to the gold mine this time?"

"Minetti!" Quili responded with a light smile: "I have to say that the three mages on the gold mine are as stupid as pigs, and they have insulted the name of magicians -

I bet the pigs in my lab are smarter than them. "

"They have little understanding of the functions of magic circles, and their sensitivity to magic is shockingly bad."

"It's just an early warning array, but it can't even fully utilize the magic power of a second-level magic well. It consumes three times the materials and consumes an additional 4 second-level magic crystals every day!"

"Those three magicians, and the people who invited them here, should be drowned in the magic well together!"

The smile on Du Duo's face was slightly embarrassing.

Because he invited the magicians responsible for maintaining the Bolan Gold Mine Array.

Quietly covering up his embarrassment, Du Duo continued to roll the dice: "Then...can the problem be solved?"

There was a trace of self-confidence in Kuili's eyes: "Of course, for a genius like me in the Mage Guild, this is just the most insignificant little trouble."

Du Duo breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Bolan County gold mine belonged to the principality and all losses were borne by the principality, at this critical moment, he didn't want any problems with the gold mine to affect him.

"Speaking of which, what has Raven been doing recently?" Quili's tone was obviously hostile.

He was also responsible for maintaining the magic circle in the high wall.

But because I had to leave temporarily for something, within a few days, I got the news of the fall of the Sigh Wall.

After that, he emphasized to others more than once that if he had been there at that time, Raven would not have been able to take down the Wall of Sighs.

Tu Duo has never quite agreed with this.

Because the magic circle inside the high wall of Sigh is used to defend against long-range attacks such as flying rocks and crossbow arrows. Even if it is activated, it will not have much impact on Raven's tactics.

Of course, Tu Duo would not say these words to his face, but said:

"There is no definite information yet, but if Raven attacks, Boland County cannot be avoided."

Kuili licked his lips: "Ha, that's just right. I'll wait for him here and give him a head-on blow!"

"This..." Du Duo hesitated slightly and said: "Master Kuili, according to the reports from the prisoners, Raven killed Count Wanda one-on-one, and that was a fourth-level knight who had awakened his martial spirit. You... "

There was a trace of doubt in his words, and it was this doubt that made Kuili furious:

"My Lord Minetti, this is why I don't like you Dou Qi users!"

"Your understanding of magic and magicians is just like that of ordinary village women!"

Although he intended to provoke the general, Kui Li's reaction was beyond Du Duo's expectations, and he opened his mouth to defend himself.

Kuili didn't give Tu Duo a chance to speak. He straightened his collar to make himself look less angry:

"I am a third-level person, and he is also a third-level person. Do you think he can compete with me?"

"But Count Tuduo, you have to understand that I am a genius who grew up in the Mage Guild and was personally trained by a fifth-level magician!"

"I am proficient in the three magics of fire, ice, and lightning, and I am also involved in the most profound arcane magic."

"As for Raven, he claims to be the third level in 3 years, but after all, he is just a street gangster! He probably doesn't even know a little bit about why magic works!"

Du Duo could hear Kuili's confidence, but he still pretended not to understand:

"Then what the master means is..."

"My Lord Minetti, if it weren't for research funds, I would never bother talking to you here." Kuili said decisively:

"Then I'll make it clear."

"As long as Raven dares to come, I will let him see what real magic is!"

"Who is the real genius!"

…

at the same time.

Province of Nord, County Ferdoro, Fox Castle.

The sky was covered with clouds, and drizzle was falling, making a dense but slight sound on the window.

Rainy weather has always been the natural enemy of the elderly.

This is especially true for Antony, a nobleman who traveled extensively in his youth.

Every time at this time, his knees would feel a dull pain, and the old wounds on his chest would itch like being bitten by many ants.

But today, Anthony was uncharacteristically not taking any medication. He was just lying in his rocking chair in front of the fire, covered with a blanket.

He was indeed in a good mood, and even the seventh letter from Viscount John, asking him to support Raven, seemed less hateful.

Throwing Viscount John's letter into the stove, Anthony grabbed another letter and read it from the beginning with great patience.

He had read this letter three times, but each time it brought him complete amusement and enjoyment.

Raven, actually knocked down the high wall of sighs!

During this period of time, he has been playing the turtle, basically doing nothing.

Read the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar released this novel for the first time.

Even the letter was only written to tell His Majesty the King that Raven went to attack the Sighing Wall.

He did not take the responsibility on himself, but he did not shirk it.

After all, no one would believe that what happened in the Nord Province had nothing to do with him.

He even wrote 3 different versions of the "confession letter", ready to submit different versions according to the degree of Raven's defeat.

Raven suffered a small loss and withdrew his troops.

Raven suffered a big loss and died on the battlefield.

Raven's entire army was defeated and Eivor counterattacked.

Anthony wrote and revised, revised and wrote again, waiting for the result of the matter in agony.

Even after hearing the news that the Sighing Wall fell, he did not dare to confirm it.

Now that he received Akori's handwritten letter, he finally let go of a stone in his heart.

"Raven, you are really capable!"

Anthony picked up the letter and kissed it, his old face was full of joy.

Raven's capture of the Wall of Sighs meant that the Empire had obtained the qualifications to bargain with the Feyton city-states, which greatly relaxed the urgent environment faced by the Empire.

At this time, the letter that did not shirk responsibility before became a wonderful foreshadowing.

Anthony sat up from the recliner, swept the three letters he had written into the trash can, picked up a pen and paper, and drafted a new letter.

A letter to announce the good news to His Majesty the King!

In the letter, he emphasized the fact that Raven led the team to capture the Wall of Sighs, but did not elaborate on the specific process, and simply and strikingly mentioned that Akori was in Raven's army.

At the same time, with extremely modest words, he "pushed" most of the credit to Raven, showing that he was the one who was strategizing, bearing humiliation, but "very generous".

After writing these, Anthony ordered his men to send them to His Majesty the King as soon as possible. He took a rest and started writing another letter that night.

This letter was sent to Raven.

The words were sincere, not only promising not to hold Raven responsible for sending troops without authorization, but also promising a series of benefits to Raven.

Including but not limited to the confirmed viscount title, larger fiefdoms, gold coins, tax exemption rights, etc.

Of course, there were conditions, that is, Raven must stay at the Wall of Sighs, not to mess up the situation too much and cause extra trouble to Anthony.

Give it to the knight under his command, and send it to Raven immediately through the channels of the Mercenary Guild.

As a result, within two hours, the knight took the letter and returned it intact.

"What did you say? The Mercenary Guild refused to deliver it? Why!?" Anthony frowned.

The knight looked at Anthony's face: "The Mercenary Guild said that this mission cannot be completed..."

"Because Baron Raven has left the Wall of Sighs and has gone deep into the Principality of Eivor."
