Wizard: I crush the legend with my martial arts

Chapter 14 Rushing to Lane City

"I just brought it up."

Monica flinched. Her father had always doted on her since she was a child. He had never lost his temper with her a few times, nor had he yelled at her so fiercely. "As soon as I said it, Alphonse became very happy." I agreed, but he has no intention of insisting on fulfilling the engagement, and I don’t think he wants to marry me that much.”

"He readily agreed and didn't feel angry?" Baron Sweetwood's anger subsided slightly.

Monica nodded hurriedly, "Yes, he said that he knew he had a bad reputation, so it was natural that I didn't want to marry him. This engagement was only made because of his father's order, and he was willing to terminate the engagement unconditionally."

It's a little more oily and vinegary, it shouldn't matter, right?

"Is his character really as bad as the rumors say?" Baron Sweetwood asked again.

"Yeah." Monica nodded again. She didn't dare to tell her father that Alphonse had the strength to defeat a first-level fighting spirit knight.

Now he seems to be a different person. When he sees himself, he no longer approaches him with a shy face to show his courtesy. He still looks at himself like a stranger.

"Okay." Baron Sweetwood sighed, "Since Alphonse agreed, then let's cancel the engagement. Originally, I wanted to use the power of Baron Tartarus, so I planned to use you and Alphons's We made a marriage contract to establish an alliance with the Cold Wind Territory, but unfortunately, Baron Tartarus died unexpectedly."

Baron Sweetwood has always valued Baron Tartarus. If his son's conduct is really as bad as the rumors say, after Baron Tartarus's death, the Cold Wind Territory will definitely fall into a chaotic situation, and it is probably impossible to count on it. .

"Why do we need to rely on the power of Baron Tartarus? Father, have we encountered any difficulties?" Monica suppressed the joy in her heart and asked.

"It's nothing, you can go back to your room and rest." Baron Sweetwood smiled.

It is true that the family has encountered difficulties, and telling her daughter will not help. She is a weak and weak little girl, how can she help? He also dotes on her too much and cultivates her into a flower in the greenhouse.

She needs to be disciplined in the future. As a noble child, she should learn to make sacrifices for the sake of the family. To actually break off the engagement on her own initiative is very inappropriate and she can no longer be tolerated.

Returning to the room in the castle, Alphonse carefully separated the incense.

This little bundle has four herbs and is very good.

In the previous life, just a piece of dried stem was worth thousands of gold, but it still had a price but no market.

Make big!
  This refining incense can only be dried by the sun and wind, and cannot be baked by fire, otherwise the medicinal properties will be lost.

It's definitely not going to be used tonight.

Alphonse found a rope and hung the four incense plants on the window sill like bacon.

Even if it rains, the window eaves can be covered, so nothing will go wrong.

After dinner, Alphonse continued to practice the innate formless magic skill until late at night before going to bed to rest.

Early the next morning, after Alphonse washed up, he ordered the maid to put the hanging herbs into the room when it rained and not to move them around.

After making good arrangements, I found Mia.

Mia originally wanted to have someone prepare a carriage, but Alphonse rejected the proposal and planned to ride with her to Lane City.

Although he was a libertine in his former life, the old baron had hopes for him at first and taught him riding skills. However, this boy liked to follow the trend and learn some aristocratic manners, and always rode in a carriage when going out to parties.

For the current Alphonse, of course, he would come as convenient as possible. If he was in a hurry, a carriage would not be as fast as riding a horse.

There is no need to invent horseshoes and stirrups, the world already has them. Alphonse felt that he had clicked on the wrong technology tree in this different world. There were glass soaps, but food like butter did not appear.

Lane City is a prosperous city and is the territory of Earl Wolfe. It is a bit far away, but it is also the closest city around the Cold Wind Territory.

While riding the horse, Alphonse was not idle and kept flirting with Mia.

It's not that he wanted to flirt with her. My predecessor was just greedy for pleasure and didn't know much about the territory.

Although Mia has only been in the Cold Wind Territory for more than a year, she has been following the Baroness and knows a lot.

She learned from her mouth that it was not that the old baron had never sought the development of the territory, but that the Cold Wind Territory was too poor. He had hired prospectors from the Miners' Guild at a high price to explore for mineral veins in the Cold Wind Territory.

Unfortunately, even though there are many mountains in the Cold Wind Territory, nothing was found.

The old baron was an expert in marching and fighting, but after all, he was only from a farmer's family. He was not good at managing the territory, and he couldn't think of any good ideas.

This can't be blamed on him. He has tried his best for the Cold Wind Territory, and even sacrificed his life to conquer the giant-toothed demon wolf that was causing trouble in the territory.

When it comes to this matter, Mia blames herself very much.

Originally, the giant-toothed demon wolf was not a very powerful monster, but with the old baron's strength as a third-level swordsman, two knights with second-level fighting spirit, and two hundred soldiers, it was a sure shot.

Who would have thought that the giant-toothed demon wolf would go crazy and mutate, causing the old baron to die together with him after a fierce fight.

If Mia had followed, the result might have been different.

Alphonse didn't mean to blame Mia. After all, she swore allegiance to the Baroness, and the territory needed someone to guard it.

Then again, Alphonse only had the impression of the old baron in his memory, and didn't have much emotion. When he traveled back in time, everything had already happened and was irreversible.

Speeding all the way, it was not until the afternoon that I saw Lane City.

Fortunately, it was late autumn and the weather was already a little cold. Otherwise, the cream would not be able to withstand storage. If it were summer, it would have gone bad by the end of the day.

The city wall of Lane City is made of solid stone. The dark gray appearance reveals the precipitation of years. There are defense towers and observation towers on it.

The tall and thick city wall surrounds the entire city, like an indestructible barrier, hiding the prosperity of the city behind it.

There were officers and soldiers at the gate of the city collecting city taxes. Because of their status as nobles, they had immunity, and it was only delayed for a short time.

After entering the city, Alphonse discovered that although there was still a moat, it was still different from the ancient city of the flower grower. There were two walls, and the city was inside the inner wall.

Between the outer wall and the inner wall is where the army is stationed, and outsiders are not allowed to peep.

Compared to Hanfeng Territory, which has only a few hundred households, Lane City is much larger.

Alphonse had no intention of visiting Count Wolfe, the lord of Lane City, and he was not familiar with him. Moreover, the Tartarus family was regarded as country bumpkins and was not popular among the nobles. There was no need to be warm to others' coldness. butt.

If you want to sell the cream formula and make this new dessert a new favorite on the nobles' tables, cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce is a good choice.

This is also the main purpose of this trip.
