Miss Witch, please respect yourself

Chapter 18 The Witch in the Shadows
"These four territories..."

After listening to Roy's guess, worry first flashed in Reid's eyes, and then murderous intent.

Any existence that attempts to harm the Tulumber family must be eradicated!
Of course, the premise is to find out this "rat in the shadows".

After recalling it, Red began to talk about his knowledge of these four territories.

The sand collar in the east is relatively barren, and there are very few places that can be used for farming. The main income is from selling river sand and fishing. The lord is Lord Horner.

The area to the south that is closer to the border is called the Iron Mountain Territory. As the name suggests, there are large iron ore veins in this territory, and the mining and foundry industries are quite developed. The lord is Lord Denham.

There is a large dense forest in the white bear collar in the west. In winter, white bears and various beasts often appear, which is very dangerous. However, the fur of this kind of white bear is very popular among nobles, so it has attracted a large number of hunters to settle here. The lord is Lord Pruitt .

As for the Green Territory in the north, the arable land area is relatively large, and the grain output is rich. The lord is Lord Ramsay.

Compared with the Quartet Territory, the Black Stone Territory located in the middle has a more advantageous geographical location.

The area of ​​cultivated land accounts for [-]% of the territory. There is a small iron vein and a small dense forest, which can be regarded as a combination of the advantages of other territories. More importantly, there is a side called "Star Lake" in the middle of the Blackstone Territory, which is not far from the lord's mansion. " of the inland lake.

The water of this lake is extremely clear. Every night, under the light of the stars, it shines like gems inlaid on the earth, hence the name.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Xinghu can produce a very small amount of low-purity magic crystals during the annual "Plenty of Soil Festival", which is the second Sunday in September.

This thing is a good thing, even if it is only low-purity, but these magic crystals alone are enough to support the consumption of such a large territory.

After listening to Reid's story, Roy finally understood why the "false news" released by the people behind the scenes on the black market was that he possessed a high-purity magic crystal.

Blackstone collar has a star lake that can produce low-purity magic crystals, and Roy, the son of Lord Blackstone collar, may have inherited the high-purity magic crystals that may have been produced from the star lake that have been passed down from his father.

Although Xinghu has never produced high-purity magic crystals, who can guarantee that it will not produce it?

Such well-documented rumors are easier to win people's trust than groundless guesses.

Comparing the five territories comprehensively, the geographical environment, resource output and other conditions of the Blackstone Territory are more than one grade better than the surrounding four territories. It can make the Duke of the Frontier give up his love so much.

And it's no wonder that a territory with such superior conditions is coveted.

When the Lord of the Blackstone Territory was still around, nothing happened. After all, the strength of the Lord of the Blackstone Territory was unique among the lords of the five major territories, and no one dared to provoke him.

But now, as long as Lord Blackstone is gone, the fangs in the darkness will follow.

Perhaps, the people behind the scenes were just tentative at first.

From luring the witch to the Blackstone Territory, to using the "cursed puppet" on the lord's son Roy, and even the visit of the God's Punishment Knight from the temple, they are all temptations.

To test whether Lord Blackstone Collar is really missing.

And until Roy was really detained and taken away by the God's Punishment Knight, the people behind the scenes had already confirmed with great certainty that Lord Blackstone Collar was really missing.

After confirming this point, it must be not far from the real action of the people behind the scenes.

After all, no matter how you plan, as long as the ultimate beneficiary can be determined, then even if this person is not the person behind the scenes, he must have a great relationship with him!

A series of thoughts flashed through Roy's mind.

"call……"

With a sigh of relief, he let Red leave first.

Knowing the specific situation of the four territories near the Blackstone Territory does not directly help the current situation.

The lords of these four territories, like Lord Blackstone, were awarded the territory in the imperial war more than ten years ago. From the perspective of interests, they all have motives to act.

However, unlike Lord Blackstone, although the lords of these four territories responded to the call of the border duke, they only let their servant knights lead the knight team to the border instead of going there in person.

This is also a common method used by lords who are content with the status quo, and there is nothing to criticize.

But in this way, if you want to find out the true identity of the person behind the scenes, you can only continue to wait.

In short, the strength of the territory has weakened.

If Roy had the strength of the old Lord Silver Knight, the people behind the scenes would not have the courage to act.

Under the light of the crimson moon, Roy lay cross-legged on the bed and began to practice breathing.

The energy he absorbed from the witch was nourishing his body little by little, and under the effect of breathing, it was transformed into wisps of battle energy.

Time is on his side, the longer it drags on, the better for him.

What's more, now he hides in the dark with the help of Lamy. It is still unknown who is the prey and who is the hunter.

……

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Along the official road [-] kilometers north of the lord's mansion of the Black Stone Lord, the prison cart guarded by two God's Punishment Knights also started a new day's journey.

Two tall horses dragged the closed cage forward, and a hired groom drove the car.On both sides of the prison cart were Lamy riding a war horse and his attendant knight Al.

The two looked solemn and cold, and their eyes scanned the surroundings. Once anyone dared to approach, they would be spotted and blocked immediately.

"Grumbling..."

The sound of the wheels turning was heard far away, and other carriages that were also traveling along the official road along the way, saw the flag on the prison carriage representing the God's Punishment Knight from a distance, and chose to avoid it.

The team moved forward all the way until noon, without encountering any twists and turns.

Under the shade of a big tree next to the official road, the team of prison cars chose to stop here to take a rest.

Although the season has come to late autumn, and there is only one week left before the "Plenty Soil Festival", the sun at noon is still scorching hot, and even the harvest farmers will not choose to harvest at this time.

After simply eating dry food, the coachman found a big tree and leaned against it for a rest, while the two God's Punishment Knights, Lamy, sat cross-legged beside the prison car and practiced breathing techniques, while Al stood guard and patrolled, vigilant around.

Everything is calm.

……

A few kilometers away from the prison van, there is a very ordinary tree.

A small sparrow flapped its wings from a distance and was about to land on the bird's nest in the branch of the big tree, but suddenly froze when it came within three meters of the big tree, as if it was being polluted by some kind of pollution. Energy eroded, he lost control of his body, and fell straight down.

A sickly pale hand stretched out from the crown of the tree, caught the fallen sparrow, and then gently tossed it, sending it out gently.

After leaving the three-meter range of the big tree, the little sparrow recovered quickly. Its small black eyes were full of panic, and it hurriedly fled away.

Ignoring the little sparrow, in the shadow of the canopy, a slender figure faced the direction of the prison car.

The shade of the trees covered her face, making it difficult to see clearly.

Compared with late at night, in the hot afternoon, the human body will be more tired, difficult to concentrate, and less vigilant.

And this time is the best time to sneak attack.
