Lord of Hyranza

Holding the summoning letter, the guard led Suldak into the city hall. When he passed the first gate, there was a groom who came to lead the horse.

Wilkes City Hall is far more imposing than High Lansa City Hall. The whole building is full of semi-open inner and outer corridors, and there are various exquisite patterns left on these corridors.

Suldak walked for a quarter of an hour before being led by the guards to the office of the consul of Florian on the third floor.

...knock on the door.

After getting a response, Suldak carefully opened the door and walked into the room.

The office of the Consul of Florian is very grand. It can be said that the decoration in the room is almost covered with gold patterns.

When Suldak walked in, the secretary of the Consul of Florian was waiting inside, and led Suldak to a living room, where the attendants came in one after another and placed refreshments on the table.

It didn't take long before I saw the governor of Wilkes City.

It can be said that the Consul Florian is a great nobleman who holds real power in the hands of the Bai Lin plane.

He was wearing leather armor with a minimalist pattern, which looked very casual.

However, Suldak could see the quaint flavor exuding from this leather armor.

Consul Florian is a very handsome middle-aged man, with light golden curly hair trimmed neatly, exuding an aura that only a Benar swordsman could have. He asked, "You are Suldak? Hurry up?" Sit down, no wonder you can lead such a cavalry battalion capable of fighting, I heard that you are also a knight yourself?"

In the province of Bena, the most famous is the Bena Swordsmen, so the cavalry is not as important as other provinces.

"Yes, Lord Consul!" Suldak quickly replied.

"You can call me Uncle Florian. Ferdinand and I studied together at the Swordsman Academy for four years. At that time, we were still as young as you. Later, we each returned to the family to work, but we often gave each other privately. Write a letter." The Consul Florian played the family card as soon as he opened his mouth.

Suldak quickly sat up straight, his heart was half down.

Since the Consul was a classmate of the Marquis Luther when he was young, he has a much better chance of being taken care of.

"I'm calling you here this time, I don't think I need to say too much, you should know what I'm going to say..."

The Consul of Florian showed a helpless face and said:

"Now this matter is so violent that Wilkes City is not at peace. I shouldn't have interfered with this matter. I just hope it can end as soon as possible. I hope you can think about it again when you make a decision. Everything depends on Wilkes. The overall situation of X City is the most important."

After saying this, Consul Florian raised his eyebrows at Suldak and said: "These words are what I have to say. Some things are entrusted by others, and there are various human factors mixed in."

"For this matter, I still support you personally." He showed a friendly smile on his face, leaned over his body, and patted Suldak's shoulder affectionately.

Then he changed his voice and said: "However, the other party is a very prestigious alchemist in the Wilkes magic circle. His students are all over the various magic industries in Wilkes City, and now the entire magic guild is giving its all. Support Christopher Wizard."

"Those members of the House of Representatives, although most of them are noble lords, should have supported you, but the current situation is... If they don't support you, they will have nothing to lose, but if they don't support Christopher Magician, they want to buy magician in the future. It is very likely that they will go to Bena City."

The Consul of Florian concluded by saying:

"So let me remind you, you must be mentally prepared... The second reconsideration of the House of Representatives may award that territory to Christopher Magician."

Suldak sat on the chair and did not refuse the proposal of the consul of Florian, but he did not agree either.

Unexpectedly, this Christopher magician would actually complete the official procedures of Invercargill Forest in Wilkes City.

He stayed with the Consul of Florian for a short while, and then left the town hall.

……

The streets of the city hall were lined with trees, and Suerdak was not in a hurry to ride back to the hotel, so he led the horse forward on the street.

His figure was very burly, and he looked like a warrior. Walking on the long street, he saw women on the street casting their eyes on Suldak.

The Gubolai horse he was leading was also dishonest. It kept sticking out its thick lips, nibbling the flowers in the pond secretly.

Feeling a sense of oppression on the top of the head, I saw dozens of magicians riding magic handles and flying at ultra-low altitude against the roof.

A magician whizzed past in the low sky of the long street, causing the citizens to cry.

Just when Suldak was hesitating slightly, the team of magicians riding on the handles of the magic scorpion actually drew a beautiful and neat arc on the long street, and flew towards Suldak again, and then the A group of mages hovered over Suldak's head one after another, it seemed that they came here specially for Suldak.

The magic scorpion keeps the magic streamer flowing on it...

After these magicians stopped the magic horn, they lined up in the shape of an 'eight' to the left and right.

Did a magician land in front of Suldak on a magic scorpion? He is not as polite as the consul of Florian. Maybe he holds a high position in the magic union, and usually looks down on a nobleman like Suldak. lord.

Even when he spoke, he didn't use any honorifics, just heard him say: "You are Suldak? Now the magicians in Wilkes City don't welcome you very much, you say... What are you still insisting on? "

"I heard that you are the commander of the cavalry battalion of Luthor's Legion. I must remind you that you may cause a lot of unnecessary troubles to Marquis Luther. His two swordsman regiments will mainly repair the magic pattern structure in the future." Let's install magic weapons..."

"Offend the magic union of our Wilkes City. In the future, the Constructed Swordsman Corps of your legion will not be able to repair magic equipment in the Bailin plane..."

Surdak did not expect that the other party would actually say this in public.

Chapter 874 Letter from Marquis Luther

The several large-scale speeches given by the magicians in the square made the public opinion of the people of Wilkes City turn to Christopher the magician in just one night.

Immediately afterwards, a group of magicians from the Magic Union led nearly [-] citizens to hold a grand demonstration in Wilkes City.

At the door of the hotel where Suldak lived, there were some citizens holding protest plaques. They didn't know whether they were employed by the magic union or organized activities spontaneously. However, these protesters didn't have any radical words or actions, just There was a silent protest with protest signs behind the railing across the road.

The Wilkes Daily also published an article about the territorial dispute between noble lords and magician nobles.

This report commented relatively positively, respectively explaining the role of noble lords and magician nobles in the Green Empire, and the disadvantages of noble lords and magician nobles in opening up new territories.

In fact, after a magician has been promoted to a noble, the territories assigned to them are often in name only, basically remote and barren mountainous areas, and magicians seldom actually develop those lands.

This makes the benefits of magicians more like a burden.

Noble lords have more freedom to open up new territories, but the premise is that these noble lords must have private troops.

However, for a magician with a good reputation in Wilkes City, who is also a director of the Alchemy Guild, and the territory owned by the magician Christopher, can he choose Invercargill Forest of Warcraft? Many citizens think that he can choose. Territory... Then there is no reason not to choose?

But before the election, Wilkes City Hall should come forward to communicate this issue.

That is to say, no matter whether you apply for a territory or apply for the development of an unknown area, you need to do it in advance. It is impossible to do it first and then make up the ticket. This is not in line with the process.

It is precisely because the citizens who hold this point of view are the mainstream group, so everyone supports that Christopher Magician will get the Invercargill Forest of Warcraft.

The Consul of Florian proposed: let Christopher Magician and Viscount Suldak sit down and discuss the ownership of the Invercargill Warcraft Forest. In fact, such a large forest is more than enough for several noble lords to share equally.

The magic guild ignored it, and instead publicized Christopher the magician, who is also an excellent alchemist, and his great contribution in Wilkes City.

Nowadays, when magic herbs are scarce, the profession of alchemist has gradually appeared in everyone's eyes.

The second reconsideration of the House of Representatives was quickly approved, and the territory of the Invercargill Warcraft Forest belonged to Christopher Magician.

……

Suldak also left Wilkes City with Nika and Samira on the same day, and the group returned to Dodan Town along the way they came.

According to Chester Great Swordsman's order, the garrison in the northern part of the Bailin Plane has begun to expel the magicians in the territory, and some adventure groups with magicians are leaving one after another.

On the main road leading to Wilkes City, there will always be some adventure groups riding in carriages heading towards Wilkes City.

Suldak rode in front on Gubolai war horse, while Nika and Samira sat in a magic caravan. Nika was not good at riding, nor did he have enough strength to ride on horseback for seven days in a row, while Samira simply didn't want to bask in the scorching sun with a hood and light gauze.

He was in a bad mood. He didn't expect that he had worked so hard to open up the Invercargill Forest, but now he said that this land belonged to a magician.

Then the magic contract signed with the indigenous tribes in the Invercargill Forest became a pile of waste paper. The most embarrassing thing is that I also drove the four indigenous tribes out of the Invercargill Forest. Everything turned out to be a farce.

Although the great swordsman Chester said that the matter was not over yet, Suldak felt that it might be irreparable.

I didn't expect this to be the case.

Leaving Wilkes City and stepping into the vast grassland, his gloomy mood gradually improved. Suldak rubbed his numb face with both hands. After he returned, he still had to muster up the courage to meet the natives. The chief of the tribe, this meeting should think about what to say after meeting, you can't always chat about the weather...

At this time, the magic caravan behind caught up and paralleled Suldak.

Nika pushed open the window, poked his head out, and said to Suldak:

"Master, when I was wandering around Wilkes City these two days, I heard something related to the Christopher magician."

Suldak turned his head suspiciously, looked at Nika, and motioned for her to continue: "There is a student next to Magician Christopher, named Joel Singh, and he is a magician who just graduated from the Wilkes School of Magic. , He disappeared at the beginning of this month."

"The family, fiancée and friends of this magician Joel Singh are all looking for news about him. When I visited the Magic Clock Tower in the Magic Street that day, they happened to be holding a portrait of magician Joel Singh around. Ask people on the street."

"I didn't pay attention at first, but I heard that his last trip was to go to the Invercargill Forest of Warcraft with Christopher Magician. At that time, his friends saw him off, and he happily told his family and friends that he would I'm going to get rich."

"But according to what Christopher Magician said after returning from Invercargill Forest, he and Joel Singh probably separated after they left Wilkes City because they were responsible for different tasks."

"The family of Magician Joel Singh did not believe this statement, because before Magician Joel Singh left, he said that he was going to take Christopher Magician to Invercargill Forest, and said that Magician Christopher Never been to Invercargill Forest."

Suldak held the horse's rein with one hand, patted his forehead vigorously, and said: "If this matter involves the magician Christopher, it can't be solved with a fine, after all, the other party is also a magician." noble."

Nika stuck her head out of the window and said excitedly: "If they go to Invercargill Forest, they may not necessarily go through Dodan Town, but they must pass through Kieran Town, and unfortunately there is only one town in Kieran Town. A hotel, we can go to Kieran Town to check..."

She pointed to the road ahead and said to Suldak, "Master, let's go to Kilan Town!"

Every time Nika called 'Master', Suldak always felt as if someone was tickling the soles of his feet, and that feeling was indescribable.

……

The next day, after Suldak arrived in Kilan Town, Nika immediately ran to the only hotel in the town.

Coincidentally, the waitress at the front desk of the hotel was Nika's little sister. Nika got into the service area of ​​the front desk, and the two chatted for a long time inside. Not only did they find out the information about Christopher and the magician living in the hotel, It was also found that the magician Joel Singh found two street girls in the town that night, and it is said that he destroyed two sheets in the hotel...

Christopher Magician is lying.

Magician Joel Singh did not disappear, and he did not return to Wilkes City with Magician Christopher, so he was probably killed on the way.

Christopher Magician concealed the truth, and there is a high probability that he was the murderer who killed Joel Singh.

At this moment, Suldak remembered that he was clearly alone the night he met the Christopher magician in the southern part of the Invercargill forest mine.

Although this matter seems obvious at a glance.

But it is not easy to investigate.

The main reason is that no one knows the whereabouts of Joel Singh except Christopher Magician, but there is no way to interrogate him.

What exactly to do, made Suldak fall into deep thought.

He thought that he might be able to return to the town of Dodan and return to Wilkes City with Selena. The dark goddess Celine is in charge of everything in the dark, and the dream is one of them. Maybe he can go to the dream of Christopher the magician to understand the situation.

But then Suldak thought that it would be impossible for him to get in touch with the Christopher magician at close range.

Leave the Kieran Town Hotel.

When he closed the door casually, he heard the jingling sound of the wind chimes at the door. Surdak touched his neck subconsciously. The fingerbone of Viscount Fornak was tied to a rope.

He took the phalanx in his hand, turned around and took Nika and Samira back to the hotel.

Walking to the front desk, he said to the waitress with broken hair, "Help me open two guest rooms, preferably the one where Christopher the Magician used to live, and prepare a pot of good afternoon tea for me by the way... "

The waitress quickly completed the formalities, took out a bunch of keys, and bounced upstairs to open the door for Suldak.

Suldak let Nika and Samira live next door, and walked alone into the room where the magician Joel Singh once lived.

After sitting in the room for a while, the waitress knocked on the door with a tray of desserts and black tea. Suldak walked to the door, took the tea tray, and tipped the waitress a silver coin.

The reason for tipping so much was purely because he had no change in his pocket.

After the waitress kept hinting that she could do more services, Suldak closed the door and locked the door.

He put the tea tray on the coffee table in the living room, then walked to the window and drew the thick curtains.

The room immediately became a little dark, and then he took out the finger bone, put it in his mouth and blew gently... There was no sound.

The surrounding air suddenly became cold, and Suldak found some bloody marks appeared on the wall, a little bit of blood seeped out from the wall, and then a bloody wattle drilled out of the wall, like countless crazily growing trees Vine, these dark red tree vines form an arch on the wall.

A big hand with withered bones pushed open the broken wooden door, and quietly appeared in front of Suldak.

When the door behind him quietly closed, Suldak saw through the wooden door a vast land formed by countless white bones.

As the wind howled, countless skeletons crawled out from the Land of Bones, forming an army of skeletons, and walked slowly into the distance.

"Good afternoon, Suldak... Oh, I was actually promoted to Viscount, which is really beyond my expectation!"

Count Funak took off the hat on his head, floated to the front of the sofa, sat down casually, stretched his head forward, sniffed the steaming black tea in front of him, and said to Suldak with a smile: " It’s been a long time since I drank black tea, this taste is really nostalgic!”

……

The day after Suldak left Wilkes City, Miss Hathaway rushed to the Wilkes City Military Headquarters with a letter from Marquis Luther.

(Ten days ago, Chester Great Swordsman wrote a letter to Marquis Luther in the Tarapakan area about the dispute in the Bailin plane)

Unexpectedly, Marquis Luther sent a reply letter so quickly. Luther not only replied a letter to Chester Great Swordsman, but also wrote a letter to the Consul of Florian in Wilkes City.

At the same time, Hathaway and Beatrice passed through the portal of Bena City, and delivered the two letters from Marquess Luther to the Chester Swordsman in the army.

Lord Luther wrote:

'I feel incredible that the Wilkes City Territory Administration can assign the Invercargill Warcraft Forest to Christopher Magician during the beast tide.
