The Wizard: London From My Backyard

Chapter 95: Annexation and Mechanical Treemen (on shelves next Monday)

...

After confirming that Ricardo himself is the lord of the Wind Wolf Territory,

Before leaving, Sir Parrison needed to confirm the death of Baron Windwolf with his own eyes before leaving.

Ricardo could only bid farewell to Paris first.

Then he took the captive Baron Windwolf to the dungeon of the Windwolf Castle for an 'interrogation'.

After obtaining a lot of information about Frostwind, Windwolf, Thieves Guild, and even his half-brother Kerry, he took Baron Windwolf's life.

This aristocratic elite who completed the upgrade of his title in this generation died under the sword of Ricardo in this way.

"The baron title and documents will be sent to the Ice Lake Territory within a few days."

"The courier of the Provincial Central Council will usually personally confirm delivery to you."

After Sir Parson confirmed the death of Baron Windwolf, he left with peace of mind.

Ricardo watched Sir Parsons leave.

He thought about the last words of Baron Windwolf just before his death.

One is the illness and death of the old Lord of Ice Lake, which was indeed done by the Viscount Frostwind who hired the Thieves Guild of Shakang County.

At that time, the Thieves Guild dispatched spellcasters to curse, and Viscount Frostwind also contacted the Thieves Guild in Pansen County. The Thieves Guild there is still not banned, and it is complementary to the original Shakang County Thieves Guild...

...The Thieves Guild in Pansen County is better at training assassins.

The second is the Thieves Guild, and the group of spellcasters behind the Thieves Guild, who have been trying to find evil environments over the years, and may even be summoning certain evil environments with specific characteristics.

These evils are related to the legendary Snowy Secret Realm, because the Snowy Secret Realm may form a secret passageway in Shakang County, making it possible to summon that evil realm.

Ricardo's half-brother Kerry is not a spellcaster, but he used to work in the Thieves Guild, and is still hiding somewhere in Shacon County like everyone else in the Thieves Guild.

"It doesn't matter, if the sky falls, there will be tall people supporting it."

"With a strong man like Lord Vera sitting in charge, I'd better develop with peace of mind."

With this information Ricardo would send an owl letter to Paris.

However, since Paris left early, it means that he has judged that the secrets that Baron Windwolf knows are all information that has been inquired by the authorities.

...

While Ricardo entered the action mode for the avatar Evil Flower Puppet, he continued to arrange the avatar in the dungeon, and began to reap malice.

On the other hand, he also participated in the occupation of the Ice Lake Territory over the Wind Wolf Territory.

"The Ice Lake Territory originally covered an area of ​​nearly [-] square kilometers. There was a village with a population of [-], five sealed Death Raid Knight manors, five natural villages, and scattered adventurer and mercenary strongholds..."

"After annexing the Wind Wolf Territory, the area of ​​the new Ice Lake Territory will expand to more than [-] square kilometers, with an additional town of [-] people, five more ownerless knight manors, and three sealed knight manors. Eight A natural village…”

"There is also an extra noble castle! Various other facilities, such as the blacksmith shop, the stables in the castle, etc... are all of great value..."

in the castle.

Ricardo and Andrew looked at the map on the wall of the lord's hall.

His heart is full of harvest.

Although in this war, for him to improve his combat power, he must rely on the flower of evil and the support of Master Vera in the future to fulfill him.

However, the experience of growing up in the countryside in the Middle Ages gave him a special sense of satisfaction in acquiring the territory.

As for the harvested gold coins, treasures, horses, and armors accumulated by the Wind Wolf family over the years, it goes without saying.

The old Lord of the Ice Lake and the Baron of the Wind Wolf are both outstanding nobles, and the amount of armor they have accumulated is already large.

In addition to the batch brought by Ricardo, the total number of armors owned by the Binghu family is already more than that of many fallen viscount families.

Armor is extremely precious.

Whether it was a manor with a pair of armors in the Middle Ages in the previous life, or Nurhal's accumulation of thirteen pairs of armors and his rebellion, they all illustrate the value of armored armors.

The brothers had afternoon tea together.

The two talked a lot.

"...Brother, in fact, yesterday, the Jinlu family, the in-law family, sent a banquet invitation letter. You know, in the past, because the mountain wolf bandit gang was in the Panxue Forest, our contact with the Jinlu family has become less and less in the past ten years..."

"In the past, the two Lords of the Golden Deer would go directly across the forest to conduct business with Binghu Town. This route has also been paralyzed for many years..."

"Now that the mountain wolf bandit group has disappeared, the Golden Deer family is planning to hold a week-long gathering in Pansen Forest Manor in the next few days. I hope that as many people as possible from our family will attend...Because of the wind wolf leader, I haven't mentioned it...I originally planned to let some branch members go..."

Andrew said.

Ricardo understood that the two lords of the Golden Deer family had two lordships, one of which was separated from the Ice Lake Territory by a short section of the Panxue Forest extending southward.

In the past, because of the mountain wolf bandit group, the original business route from Jinluling to Binghuling was paralyzed.

The Jinlu family could have gone directly through the forest to visit the Binghu family, but now they need to go to Pansen County and walk on the road, detour to the county town of Shagang County, and then come to Binghu.

Now that the bandit group has been wiped out, the relationship between the two families can be restored.

"It's just right, I can look for a low-risk evil environment near this line, and open up an additional teleportation point for future use... If the evil environment matches what Vera said, it has something to do with mirrors, ice and snow, fate, etc., and can earn high merits..."

Ricardo thought quickly.

He felt that if there was a suitable evil environment near the place where the banquet was held, it would be good for him to take part in it and feel the atmosphere of the family gathering.

Moreover, Teresa told him before that the old Lord Golden Deer believed the rumors that he was injured.

This kind of thing can also be clarified by the way.

"The war is over. Now we are sealing off the town to prevent the news from spreading too quickly. It is also inappropriate to go to the county town. At this time, it is also good to talk to the Jinlu family about re-establishing the business line. I will participate according to the situation..."

Ricardo handed over the discussion to Andrew.

He also needs to see if there is a suitable evil environment near the Panxue Forest Manor.

By the way, by solving a bad situation, you can not only gain malice and merit, but also participate in family gatherings.

...

After afternoon tea.

Ricardo and Andrew continued to work.

But soon, Ricardo found that many things involving the two territories were too inefficient.

Blossoms Manor and Baron Windwolf Castle are only less than ten kilometers apart.

But because there are many woods, hills and winding mountain roads in the middle, it takes nearly two hours for this section of the road.

It takes more than an hour for the messenger to ride on horseback.

Also, the straight-line distance between Binghu Ling and Jinlu Ling is actually not much, but because of the forest and the bandits, the contact has become less and less in the past ten years.

Ricardo had long thought about the problem of building roads.

He thought of Leaky Cauldron Lane in the modern world.

In a city as large as London in the modern world, such a community can be built, and this community also involves an underground construction system, which cannot be discovered by ordinary people. It is estimated that there will be no shortage of modern wizard black technology.

In addition, the precision instruments driven by magic stones or energy ores left by Old Li Cha in the basement, and the means of modern technology integrated with the characteristics of wizard civilization are all eye-catching.

Ricardo immediately teleported to the modern world, contacted Olifan, and told him about his needs.

When he detoured the Triangle Memory Bar and came to the magical plant shop.

Mr. Ollivan has invited a clerk from the 'Wizard's Equipment Shop' into the shop.

The clerk took out an exquisite picture album in a modern style.

Turned to one of the pages.

Ricardo saw that on the page of the album, there was a mechanical version of the Treant with a steampunk style.

"Mr. Ricardo, this engineering equipment from our company meets your needs."

"Road Digging Construction Machinery Treeman - 2005 Model."

"You can remotely control this mechanical tree man by one person, manipulate it to open up roads in the wild mountains and rivers. Its daily workload is that it can open up 5-10 kilometers of roads every day, and it can add spells so that mortals can ignore the abnormalities, and gradually adapt to changes in the road environment in the next two weeks."
