It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 308 Baron Hopman's Counterattack

Tolga's mage's mobility is really a swift and resolute one.Throwing a piece of flying equipment on the spot, it was the dark cloud that Gretel saw when he first met him, and pulled Gretel directly onto the cloud.

Lynn, Aurora, and Bernard filed forward.Mr. Troka meowed, and jumped into Gretel's arms, and the golden skull turned into a string of bone chains as usual, and was put into the interspatial bag by Mage Lynn.The mage Tolga stomped down, and the dark clouds filled and rose from the ground.

His move was really decisive.The next day, Baron Hopman himself received news that the eldest son had died in a duel.

"What? Creighton is dead?!"

The baron exerted force on his hand, and the silver cup engraved with exquisite patterns was immediately crushed into a shriveled ball.The bright red wine gurgled out of the fingers, like the blood between the fingers and even the heart.He stared at the earlland knight standing upright in front of him, gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his cheeks were tangled together:
"Who did it? Who killed him?"

Knight David bowed slightly, stepped forward, and calmly handed over the Earl's personal letter.When the baron took the letter, he took another step back and stood upright.From beginning to end, not a single word was said.

He is only two years younger than the Earl of Inverness, and he received knight education in the Earl's Mansion since he was a child, and grew up with the Earl.Everyone in the earldom knew that he was the earl's right-hand man, and in some informal occasions he could almost represent the earl himself.

This time, it was also because of the death of an important in-law in the Earldom and the eldest son of the lord of the bordering territory that the Earl of Inverness sent him to come overnight with a letter.And Baron Hopman has not given up his seat, greeted him, and not even addressed him since they met!
So David Knight also closed his lips tightly.Baron Hopman read the letter at a glance, turned back to the first page with trembling hands, read it again, and read it again.Finally, he raised his eyes, stared at David Knight desperately, and said in a deep voice:

"What does the Earl mean?"

"My lord Earl expresses his deep condolences for the death of Young Master Ling." Knight David bowed lightly, with a strict and formal tone:

"I would like to express my sincere condolences to the baron and his wife. The earl said that on the day of the son's funeral, he and his wife will definitely attend on time."

"..."

Baron Hopman's anger grew even hotter.Although he had three sons, the second son was weak, and the third son was sent to the Spring Temple to become a priest. Only the eldest son was the most successful, and he was already a level 7 knight at a young age.And now, the eldest son whom he had placed high hopes on, died!

died!

died!

And the Earl of Inverness refused to help him, and took revenge on the person who killed his son!
"What is the origin of that magician?" He suppressed his anger and asked.Knight David lowered his gaze slightly, then raised his eyes for a moment, looking directly at the Baron.In a moment, the answer was already organized in my mind.

He also watched the young lady grow up, and the Hopman knight dared to be rude to the young lady, and he deserved to die.Since the Nordmark mage stood up for the eldest lady and stood in the position of the Earl's Mansion, he should not be disturbed!

Let me reveal the background of the little mage a little bit, so that the baron will be less delusional, so don't bother the little mage:

"He is a guest invited by the lady. A four-ringed arcanist and a third-level magician. During the duel, two fifth-level magicians claimed to be his followers, and one of them was said to be a disciple of the archmage. In addition, there was another A barbarian follower, the combat level is suspected to be level seven.

——After the duel, a thirteenth-level great magician activated the flying magic weapon and took him and his followers away on the spot. "

"..."

The baron gasped silently.

According to the convention of the Magic Council, only magicians above level 10 can be called archmages.If the thirteenth-level magician is not the same person as the teacher of the fifth-level magician, it means that the murderer who killed his son has at least two great magicians standing behind him!

And with the strength of the Barony, can it fight against the two great magicians?
Baron Hopman knew without taking stock: absolutely impossible.

In their Baronie, the highest level of combat power on the surface is himself, a ninth-level knight; the highest level of combat power in secret, an assassin taken in many years ago, is at level 7; the highest level of legal power is the old pastor who just returned, Level 8...

Three people tied together are not enough for an archmage to beat.

so what should I do now?
Could it be that you just endured this breath?
Davy Knight bowed and resigned.Baron Hopman went back and forth, still unable to make a decision.It wasn't until two days later that he heard another bad news from Pastor Farren, who was escorting the eldest son's body:
"What? The little pastor said that our family's lineage—is a genetic disease?!"

"That's what he said!" Pastor Farren burst into tears.There is no way, the pension has to rely on the family, and we must put aside our responsibilities:
"Hundreds of people at the scene heard it! If it weren't for this, the young master wouldn't insist on fighting him in order to protect the honor of the family! I can't persuade me at all! I can't persuade me either! If I were 20 years younger, my old bone I did it myself, how could I let Creighton..."

Baron Hopman frowned.Now it is not a matter of a son, but a matter of the family - to make matters worse, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the son suddenly fell to the ground and died in the battle, almost confirming the other party's statement!
If the words of this little mage are spread, there will be great problems in the family's marriage with foreign countries, and even the family's sending their children to study elsewhere.What kind of enmity does that little mage have with Clayton? With a simple sentence, he wants to break the foundation of their family?
If it was possible to endure it in the first place, or to forbear for the time being and Xu Tu retaliates, then now, it is too much to bear!

Baron Hopman sat in his study all night.The next day, he went to Inverness Territory in person and visited the Earl.On the fourth day, a letter went through many people and was sent to Gretel's Mage Tower.

Master Tolga himself came to deliver the message.He took the coffee from Gretel, stirred it with a spoon, and smiled wryly:
"Little Gretel, it's just... how should I put it, someone asked me to ask you something..."

"Master, you are polite." Gretel smiled sincerely:

"You once invited me to join the School of Change. Although I didn't join, I have always been grateful for your friendship. If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as it can be done, I will definitely agree."

Mage Tolga breathed a sigh of relief. "That Baron Hopman, didn't his son die? The baron means that his son died in a duel, and he doesn't want to pursue it..."

Gretel's face froze a little, and he didn't refute because of politeness.Mage Tolga was also a little hard to say, but he was entrusted by others, so he had to say it in one breath:

"The baron hopes that you can attend his son's funeral, apologize in front of the guests, and take back what you said earlier."

Gretel had already begun to nod when he heard "attend the funeral."However, when he heard the last sentence, his neck stiffened halfway, and he asked:
"Which sentence?"

"That's what you said...their family has a genetic disease..."

Gretel lowered his head and pondered.Master Tolga bit the bullet and persuaded him:

"Little Gretel, I know that it is really difficult for a mage to retract his research conclusions. But no matter what, it is just a sentence. You are young, and if you say a wrong sentence occasionally, others will not care. Look, their family Very sincere..."

He pushed over a gift list, on which there were at least ten lines of gifts written densely, beginning with the number of gold coins and the number of silk.This gift was very valuable, but Gretel didn't even look at it. He just lowered his head and said in a low voice:

"But it's true..."

"But this sentence is related to their life and death! If this sentence spreads, no one in the aristocratic circle will be willing to marry, which is tantamount to cutting off their way of life..."

"But this is a truth, and the truth will not become a lie just because I deny it." Gretel suddenly raised his head:

"Master Tolga, you said that if other families do not marry them, it means cutting off their life. But if I declare that this sentence is false, those men and women who marry them without knowing anything will not Is it equivalent to losing your life?"

——It’s not about making them extinct!After explaining the matter clearly, those who are still willing to marry can still marry, find a low-ranking nobleman, find a less favorable condition, pay more money, there is always a way!But keeping the matter a secret, wouldn't it be the same as me helping them cheat the marriage?

Master Torga was at a loss for words.He thought for a while, and said seriously:
"But they also said that if you refuse to withdraw, they will sue the parliament, saying that you maliciously attacked their family and slandered the family's honor! Are you sure?"

There was deep concern in his tone.Gretel suddenly sullen:
"Then let them come! What is true is true, and it will not become false! Your Excellency, Archmage, please send a message back for me. I will not be able to apologize, and I ask them to take back the gift. At most , I will not take the initiative to publicize the affairs of their family on other occasions.

——They really want to sue me for malicious slander, so I will publish a paper in "Arcane", and explain the genetic disease by the way! "

"This, this is not necessary..."

Master Tolga was in a hurry, with a wry smile on his face.No one else mentioned it, but Gretel said that he was going to release "Arcane", which really wasn't a threat.In just over a year, he has already published two articles on "Arcane Art", and it is not difficult to post another one.

And once the genetic disease is published in "Arcane", it will not only be known to a small number of nobles in a region, but the entire kingdom, and even the nobles on the opposite continent will become a household name within a few months!
It's not that the glorious Holy See has not secretly subscribed to "Arcane" and "Magic"...

He sighed annoyedly, and left.Alas, no matter what, Gretel promised not to publicize it to the outside world, so it can be considered that the communication has achieved results...

However, Baron Hopman did not appreciate it.In other words, a marriage that was about to be negotiated, the other party suddenly changed his mind, forcing him to intensify his persecution.Within a few days, Master Tolga came to the door again, looking for Gretel:
"Little Gretel, why don't you make a concession? You know, the relationship between the Hopman family and the council has always been good. There are several goods that they provide to our Alchemy Union. For example, rubies from the southern black land , recently they announced that a ship has not arrived and that the rubies are out of stock..."

"Is it troublesome?" Gretel asked with concern.The archmage sighed:

"The big ones are of good quality and can be stored for one year. The trouble is ruby ​​powder, which is used to enchant the eternal flame. It is used in the largest amount. It seems that there is only one month's stock. The ship of the council to the New World Haven't come back yet..."

a month?Gretel's heart skipped a beat.Regarding the ruby ​​powder enchanting to create an immortal flame, he had some ideas before, but he was too busy to implement it.Now that the other party has provoked him, it's time to give it a try...

"Your Excellency the Archmage, if you give me some time, maybe I can solve this problem. No matter what, I will not let the Alchemy Union be in trouble."
