Wizard: I crush the legend with my martial arts

Chapter 110 The other side of Count Jurgen

Alphonse knew very well how careful Count Jurgen was.

He was always on guard, so he asked his attendants to test the poison first.

This is also a very reasonable thing. If a stranger comes and offers a random food, and dares to try it casually, he might end up getting cold.

"Yes." Count Jurgen pursed his lips, nodded in approval, and said in approval, "I have never seen such white, crystal-like sugar! I like this pure and flawless sweetness very much!"

"As long as you like it, Your Excellency, Count." Alphonse knew what it felt like.

In modern society, since white sugar is so common, no one thinks there is anything surprising about it.

In this different world, it's different.

Maple sugar has a bit of sawdust smell. The sugar cubes have many impurities and have a strong taste, similar to brown sugar. Even honey has a slightly astringent taste.

White sugar has no other flavor besides sweetness, it's just a bit bland.

But this kind of light sweetness has a very different impact on people who try it for the first time.

Especially the appearance, pure and transparent, just like white snow.

"Can I buy this snow candy in large quantities?" Count Jurgen asked.

"It's a pity." Alphonse spread his hands, "The refining process of snow sugar is very complicated and requires a magician to use magic to make it. That's why it is considered precious."

"What a pity." Count Jurgen sighed, "Thank you sincerely for offering such a precious snow candy as a gift."

As he spoke, he carefully poured some "snow sugar" from the glass bottle onto a small spoon, put it into the herbal soup in the cup, and stirred it a few times.

He took a deep breath and exclaimed in a high tone, "What a charming fragrance!"

He took another sip, "This snow candy allows the fragrance of mint leaves to fully come out, and it doesn't affect the taste! It's wonderful!"

Sugar can be added to the herbal soup, and there is a small silver jar on the table containing crushed sugar cubes for guests to use.

But the flavor of the sugar cubes is too strong and will cover up the flavor of the mint itself.

However, Alphonse still felt that it was Count Jurgen's psychological influence.

With the taste of white sugar and mint, Alphonse could only think of Green Arrow and Yida.

What's so delicious about herbal soup is that it doesn't have the sweetness and long lasting flavor of tea.

But Count Jurgen even praised the aria, and Alphonse could only listen and casually changed the topic, "Your Excellency, I heard that a ruin was found in your territory?"

Count Jurgen nodded, "It is indeed true. There are many treasures produced in that ruins. Why, Baron Tartarus, are you also interested?"

"I'm just curious and want to take a look." Alphonse replied, "And I'm also a little surprised. Why would you, Earl, open such a ruins with treasures to mercenaries for exploration?"

"At first, I was planning to explore on my own, but I found that the ruins were unexpectedly huge, and there were countless monsters entrenched inside. It was extremely dangerous. The soldiers I sent there had already killed a team." Count Jurgen He sighed softly and said, "Sacrificing too many people is not the result I want. The rewards in return only make me feel that the gain is not worth the loss, so I simply open this ruins to the public and charge an admission fee."

After saying that, Count Jurgen smiled and said, "The gathering of a large number of mercenaries has also brought great benefits to the city's business. The prosperity of the territory is what I want to see."

"So that's it." Alphonse finally understood Count Jurgen's wishes.

It seems to make sense.

"Baron Tartarus, if you are interested, I will issue you a warrant, and you can just bring someone over there. The captain of the guard stationed there will never stop you." Count Jurgen sold it. Got a favor.

A place where mercenaries can enter casually, how troublesome it is, probably just to save the admission fee. But thanks are still needed. Alphonse immediately said, "Thank you, Earl."

After receiving the sugar as a gift, Count Jurgen's attitude became much more friendly, and Alphonse and his party were arranged by the housekeeper to stay in the guest room.

At Alphonse's special request, in addition to Mia and Medio, the two soldiers and Tessie all had clean and tidy rooms available.

Anyway, Count Jurgen's castle is very big.

After settling in, Alphonse convened everyone for discussion.

After being on the road for several days, I happened to explore the ruins and take a break to relax.

Treasures are the next best thing. If you can come across them, it's good. If you can't, forget it. Enjoy the adventure and relax your mood.

When I came to this fantasy world, this was the first time I encountered ruins.

The two soldiers did not need to follow, they stayed to guard the carriage.

Originally, Alphonse wanted to keep Medio, the little devil, together, so as not to have to take care of one more person.

But Medeo, this naughty kid, started to make trouble, and he also wanted to take risks.

This was a novel thing that he had never experienced before.

From what Alphonse thought, there shouldn't be much trouble if a large number of mercenaries entered it.

Just bring it with you, and it fulfilled his wish.

The night in the manor was still silent, which seemed incompatible with the noise in Brightman City.

Count Jurgen arrived at the study alone, he hadn't gone to bed so early yet.

The "Snow Candy" gift box that I showed I cherished very much before was just placed on the bookshelf.

It was as if everything he did before was all an illusion.

Suddenly, an eerie low voice sounded in the study, "I can't see through that Baron Tartarus. His soul is very strange, as if there are thousands of resentful souls wailing in it."

The dim lights swayed slowly.

Count Jurgen was the only one in the study, but there was indeed another person's voice.

The voice actually seemed to come from within his shadow.

But Earl Jurgen didn't feel surprised at all, as if he was already used to this strange sight.

"I can't tell the depth of his strength. He looks like an ordinary person, but there are abnormal fluctuations in his body. It doesn't look like fighting spirit or magic power. However, what makes me care more is that he The half-elf female knight following behind her is very strong!"

Count Jurgen spoke highly of Mia.

Then he smiled quite proudly, "It doesn't matter how strong they are, it's better to be stronger. As long as they enter the ruins and don't become nutrients, they will sooner or later become slaves of desire and be used by us. "

Another voice came from the shadow, "Just don't disrupt our plan."

"What they can't do is that the races in this world have been at ease for too long, and they have all forgotten the nightmares they once had, hehehehehe." Count Jurgen laughed sinisterly, and his smile was particularly penetrating.
