Wizard: I crush the legend with my martial arts

Chapter 71 Visiting the Mine
  When Alphonse smiled and signaled to the residents on both sides of the road, he saw Baron Sweetwood and his son Branta waiting at the end of the queue.

Baron Sweetwood didn't even expect that the Cold Wind Guards led by Alphonse would be the key to defeating the enemy. He was desperate and wanted to join forces with Alphonse to defend the town.

The result was much better than expected.

Looking at the extraordinary Alphonse and the sturdy guards under his command, Baron Sweetwood couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Everyone was deceived by the illusion. How could Alphonse be an ignorant and ignorant playboy? He was clearly a very talented person!

such a pity!
  If Monica hadn't broken off the engagement on her own initiative, he would have become my son-in-law.

But it's not that there is no chance of redemption. Monica has become his lover. If she blows the pillow more, she might be able to take it a step further.

Baron Sweetwood calmed down and walked forward with a big smile, "Baron Tartarus, it's so exciting to meet you like this! It's really thanks to your help this time that our blue-feathered leaders I will never forget the kindness of the Tartarus family in my life!”

"No need to say polite words." Alphonse lowered his voice, "Are you ready for the reward?"

You can't loudly ask for money in front of a jubilant crowd.

Baron Sweetwood's smile froze, "Of course, of course! You will stay with the Blue Feather Leader today, right? For this victory, I will hold a grand banquet, please accept our thanks!"

"There is no need for the banquet. I have mobilized all the guards, and there are not many people left in the territory. I have to rush back early to avoid Earl Mujik trouble me." Alphonse did have some concerns, so there were no people left in the territory. If something unexpected happened to a few soldiers, it would be troublesome.

But using Count Mujik as a cover is just an excuse. He must have experienced a big defeat. All his troops were wiped out. It would be very difficult to stir up any trouble.

Baron Sweetwood smiled and said, "Don't worry about Count Mujik. He suffered a disastrous defeat this time and it will be a headache for him to prepare the ransom for the soldiers."

After saying that, he turned aside and stretched out his hand to make an invitation gesture, "Here, please, come to my castle and we will discuss the matter of forming an alliance in detail. For the future, the two of us need to form an alliance that can advance and retreat together." , so as to cope with various unexpected situations.”

Seeing how enthusiastic he was, it was hard for Alphonse to refuse.

Furthermore, checking gold coins also takes some time.

There is no problem in forming an alliance with the blue feather collar.

We help each other and benefit each other. Blue feather collars are rich, but cold wind collars are very poor.

The blacksmith he agreed to lend out happened to take it back with him.

He nodded immediately and walked out with Baron Sweetwood.

"How is my daughter Monica doing with you?" Baron Sweetwood asked casually, chatting like a normal person.

Alphonse almost blurted out "What are you doing?"

This turn was a bit too abrupt. The previous sentence was still talking about forming an alliance, but suddenly it turned to Monica.

"Very good." Alphonse added silently in his heart, which was just to confuse her mind and make her become his maid.

"I just ask you to take good care of her." Baron Sweetwood breathed a sigh of relief.

For the sake of the survival of the family, there is no way for Monica to make sacrifices. As a child of a nobleman, after enjoying a comfortable and prosperous life, she naturally has to be aware of it.

"With the strength of our blue feather collar alone, we cannot fight against Count Mujik. This time, it is with your help that we can escape. I plan to ask for a moderate ransom, and this matter will end here. No more conflicts." Baron Sweetwood said again.

"Then it depends on your decision, Baron Sweetwood. I don't care." Alphonse replied casually.

He said this in front of Baron Sweetwood, but Alphonse didn't think so in his heart.

Does showing mercy to your enemies help?

The answer is of course no.

Treat your enemy leniently and expect him to be grateful and repentant?

Don't make people laugh.

Totally impossible!
  The other party will only treat you as a weakling.

As long as there is a chance to make a comeback, Count Mujik will definitely find ways to take revenge on the Blue Feather Leader and the Cold Wind Leader, and he will never give up this idea. There is an old saying in the Central Plains: if you kill a tiger, it will leave disaster.

However, Count Mujik was not killed on the battlefield, which was indeed a problem.

Alphonse had already made up his mind on how to eliminate the disaster.

When it came to discussing the specific terms of the alliance, Alphonse acted as a hands-off manager and left everything to Simon.

When the agreement is reached, all you have to do is sign it yourself.

Alphonse was not idle either. He approached Branta and directly explained his intention, "Can you take me to visit the mine where the holy snow crystals are located?"

It was also a temporary idea and out of curiosity.

The innate formless magic power can absorb the magic elements floating in the air.

Perhaps, this special ore containing magic power can also give him some surprises.

Of course, Branta had no reason not to agree and readily agreed.

As the heir to the blue feather collar, Branta does not need to report to his father, Baron Sweetwood.

He can take charge of such a small matter as visiting a mine.

Because of this war, the miners have stopped working and have hid in towns.

The mine was empty.

Mia was busy counting the gold coins and did not follow Alphonse.

Branta only brought two soldiers to accompany Alphonse into the mine.

In the deep darkness, the mine seemed to have a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

Even the sound of footsteps seems to cause echoes.

Looking along the way, the cave walls on both sides were reinforced with thick wooden boards.

Branta asked two soldiers to light torches and lead Alphonse forward.

In this different world, rail mine carts have not yet been invented. Miners mine the minerals below and transport them up on carts.

Alphonse didn't mean to give Branta any advice. Just casting suitable rails was a big trouble. We couldn't just rely on the blacksmith to hammer out the rails.

It's not a matter of your own territory.

The Cold Wind Territory does not need miners for mining at all. Gold-eating ants are the best miners. The mining and transportation can be handled by one person without paying any fees. It is a great deal!

Narrow passages weave between hard rock walls.

From time to time, condensed water drops drip down from the rock wall, making a faint ticking sound, as if it is the heartbeat deep in the mine.

The cold air from the ground enveloped the entire space, making breathing heavy and cold.

At every other section of the rock wall, there were bases with oil lamps embedded in them, and the soldiers lit the oil lamps.

The dim lights also added a bit of warmth to the dark mine.

Going deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, Alphonse noticed a glimmer of light in the distance.

It was not due to the light of the torch, but a strange brilliance.
