All-round magician

Chapter 47

After being yelled at by Lano, Patriarch Kelly couldn't hold back the little face he had left today, and new and old hatreds rushed up. He manipulated the magic power to speed up the flying speed of the ice cone.

Seeing that the ice cone was getting closer and closer to him, Lan Nuo was not in a hurry, and quickly mobilized the magic elements around him, "Fire Wall Technique!" A blazing fire stood in front of Lan Nuo in an instant, followed by three other fire walls. The sides and back of the fire were raised, and he was already surrounded by raging fire, and no one outside could see him.The people who were originally surprised by Lan Nuo's use of the fire magic that was restrained by the water system quickly came back to their senses and stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of them.Launching four firewalls at the same time is unheard of.What shocked them even more was that a series of wind blades shot out from the periphery of the wall of fire, as if they had eyes, and they all flew towards Kelly who was casting a spell.

The icicles issued by Chief Kelly couldn't break through Lano's wall of fire. They were all melted into water vapor and disappeared into the air. The crazy blow did not hesitate to hurt Lan Nuo at the cost of losing both sides, but unexpectedly, Lan Nuo still had the magical power to launch an active attack. The wind blade approached Kelly at an alarming speed. The leader of the Kelly clan was like most magicians. , The physical strength is not good, I have no strength to dodge, and I don't have the magic power to launch defensive magic, I can only watch the wind blade attack me.

Just when Patriarch Kelly, including the onlookers, thought he was going to die, the wind blades suddenly stopped and floated in mid-air, less than an inch away from Kelly's nose.

At this moment, Lan Nuo also walked out of the sea of ​​flames. The wall of fire without magic support was instantly extinguished. If it wasn't for the lingering smell of burning smoke in the air, everyone would have thought it was just a dream.

Lan Nuo slowly moved to the side of Patriarch Kelly, picked up a piece of wind blade with his index finger and middle finger, and twisted it vigorously, a crisp sound resounded in the air, and the translucent wind blade immediately shattered into two halves. The patriarch Kelly rolled his eyes and fell to the ground with a "boom".

Lan Nuo looked at Patriarch Kelly who collapsed on the ground with a funny face, walked back to Charlie, and called a servant to pour a bucket of water to wake Chief Kelly up.

"Damn it, who doesn't have eyes and splashed water on my face..." Patriarch Kelly, who had just opened his eyes, felt the coolness coming from his body and the remaining water drops on his face, and cursed angrily. He said, unfortunately, he only remembered the cause and effect after cursing halfway, and immediately stopped talking, with a pale face, holding on to the branch next to him, and struggling to stand up. At this time, Elder Kelly came to his senses, ran over, and put him Helped back.

Lan Nuo looked at the group of people with different expressions on their faces who gathered temporarily for the sake of benefit with a half-smile, and said in a slow and tormenting tone: "This competition should be Lan Nuo's small victory over Kelly. The patriarch should help, according to the agreement, Lan Nuo should be qualified to continue to sit on the seat of the city lord!"

Everyone in Kelly's family was a little ashamed and looked at Lan Nuo with some resentment, but they didn't say anything. Even the head of Kelly's patriarch lowered his head with a pale face.

"City Lord Lano, you can't say that. It's only Chief Kelly who bet with you, and it doesn't represent us!" This time it was Chief White who spoke. As soon as his words hit the ground, Wall and other nobles immediately echoed.Torosi and Lebi remained expressionless, standing in place like a stone statue.

"What does Patriarch White mean?" Lan Nuo asked knowingly.

However, Patriarch White, who was being overwhelmed by Patriarch Kelly and dazzled by the joy of being able to get up, didn't notice the difference in Lan Nuo's tone, but said arrogantly and commandingly: "You will be caught without a fight." , I promise to let William, Charlie, and your friends leave safely." After all, he was still a little afraid of Lanno's magic, because a powerful magician could destroy an army.

"You will agree, but he, he, he, they won't agree, right!" Lan Nuo said in an affirmative tone, and at the same time looked at him with ironic eyes.

Patriarch White saw that his narrow-mindedness was exposed, and became angry from embarrassment. He shouted loudly at the back: "Since Lord Lano is so ungrateful, then we are welcome, everyone!"

Patriarch White gave an order, and the rest of the nobles and their guards who had already driven the ducks to the shelves had to swarm up, and their guards had to swarm up.

"You are not qualified to deal with him!"

Suddenly, the city defense army that was originally with them put a knife on their necks, and the nephews of these great nobles who were placed in the city defense army were all put on knife.

"Libi, what are you doing? Why are you pointing a knife at your own people?" The chief White yelled at Libi angrily.

"Haven't you seen it clearly? Leby and Torosi are in the same group as that brat, and we've all been fooled!" Patriarch Kelly laughed wildly.

Following his instructions, the rest of the nobles realized that Torosi and Lebi were standing outside the crowd, looking at Lan Nuo with a little respect.

The little nobles were stunned by the sudden change, what should we do!You must know that it was with the support of Bibi that they dared to rebel. Bibi, who now holds the military power, is actually a member of Lan Nuo. Needless to say, this rebellion will definitely end in failure. There are a few smarter nobles Quickly knelt down, kept kowtowing, and shouted in his mouth: "The city lord, spare your life, the city lord, spare your life..."

The rest of the people were also inspired, and knelt down one after another, shouting loudly. For a while, the cry of "City Lord, spare my life" resounded through the sky in the Mosleys Mansion!

"Pull the three of them down and cut them down!"

The guards next to him immediately pulled the three people down, and the noble who was still yelling stopped shouting and looked at Lan Nuo with ashen face.

"Pull them all down and execute them tomorrow in Frye Square." Lan Nuo sentenced all of them to death with one sentence.

Upon hearing this, the nobles screamed one after another, followed by cursing, crying, and begging for mercy, and some of them who were timid and afraid of death even fainted.

"Citadel Lannuo, let me say something!"

The patriarchs of the White, Kelly, and Wall families, who had always been pale, knelt down at the same time in tacit understanding, and begged Lan Nuo.

"Oh? Tell me!" Lan Nuo waved his hand towards the guards, and the rest of the nobles looked at the three of them expectantly as if they were grasping at a straw.

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison: "We committed an unforgivable crime because of our greed for profit. We deserve to die, but our family members don't know about it. I beg the city lord to be magnanimous and spare their lives."

"Cut the weeds but not the roots, the spring breeze blows and regenerates!" Lan Nuo glanced at them contemptuously, and then continued: "If I am the one who failed standing here today, will you let Uncle Charlie, Mr. William? I'm afraid you You won’t even let these servants and servants go! Why do you ask me to spare them?” Then he turned to Lebi and ordered: “All the relatives of the nobles who participated in the rebellion should be executed, no matter if they are newborn babies. Pregnant women who are still pregnant, none of them can be let go!"

"Lano, you are a devil, you are a devil..." Patriarch Kelly shouted loudly.

Lan Nuo smiled bloodthirstyly: "Yes, I am a devil. I only know that being kind to the enemy is being cruel to myself. Today I will not leave any hidden dangers for the future, and I will not give you any chance to stand up! Remember , don’t fight against me, otherwise, I will make him regret it!” After finishing speaking, he glanced at Dana meaningfully, Dana was frightened by his eyes, almost knelt down in fright, and turned his eyes pale elsewhere.

"Pull them all down!" Lan Nuo ordered the guards, ignoring him.

Suddenly, Wayne came to Su Luo's ear and whispered a few words, Su Luo waited for a while, seeing that Lan Nuo had finished dealing with it, then walked over with a smile, and apologized: "Master Lan Nuo, I'm sorry, there is an urgent matter at home. , now Su Luo must rush back immediately, so let's take a step first, we will meet again some other day!"

"Lan Nuo's hospitality is not good, and I still hope Master Su Luo Haihan, goodbye! Channing, see the guests off!" Lan Nuo didn't bother him, and dismissed him simply and neatly, Su Luo gave him a slightly disappointed look , and then followed Channing away without looking back.

The next day, Moss Les Flay Square was filled with blood, filled with screams and curses, which lasted for a long time.

At the gate of Mosleys City, a white-haired old man and a steady middle-aged man reluctantly looked at the handsome and energetic young man in white who was leading a brown horse.The young man was 15-year-old Lan Nuo, the white-haired old man was William, and the middle-aged man was Charlie. Five years ago, Lan Nuo, Charlie, Lebi, and Torosi used the opportunity of Lan Nuo's coma to lure the three noble families of Mosleys to take action, and then took the opportunity to eradicate all the noble families that participated in the rebellion. The power of the Murphy family and some small nobles, and the surviving nobles have also been weakened, far from what they were before. Lan Nuo really made a promise in Mosleys.After taking power, Lan Nuo actively introduced some advanced concepts from his previous life, and implemented a large-scale reform system in Mosleys.In terms of economy, Lano proposed to halve all tax rates, and the transnational business tax was reduced by 5% on the basis of halving, so that all farmers in Mosleys only need to pay 30% of the tax (the original is 15,), The cross-city business tax only needs to pay 30, (the original is 1,), and the multinational business tax only needs to pay 2, (the original is 21,).In this way, although the tax collected by a single individual has decreased, more merchants would rather detour and enter the Cadias Empire from Mosleys. Overall, the merchant tax has not decreased, and more importantly, more and more merchants Passing through Mosley's turnover of goods, Mosley gradually developed into the most prosperous city in the eastern part of the Glory Continent, which in turn led to the development of Mosley's tourism, accommodation, and catering industries.In terms of military affairs, Lan Nuo imitated the ancient Chinese military system and cut down the number of city defense troops, leaving only a small number of magicians, sword qi practitioners, archers and assassins, as an elite team, handed over to Lebi and Torosi To train, and greatly increase their salaries.Ordinary city guards are selected from strong farmers and citizens. They participate in training during the slack season and are responsible for patrolling the city. Those who perform particularly well can also enter the elite team of the city defense army. They, so many teenagers from Mosleys are proud to be able to enter the city defense army.In terms of the political system, Lan Nuo abolished some of the privileges of the aristocratic family, such as: the owner is not guilty of killing a slave, leaving only some economic powers such as expropriation of land rent.In this way, all the aristocratic families, including the Murphy family, have gradually declined, and they are only better than ordinary citizens.In addition, Lan Nuo also established a system for residents to report. Any residents of Mosleys who have any opinions on the government's actions can report to the City Lord's Mansion. Regardless of whether the opinion is reasonable or not, the City Lord's Mansion will make a statement.In terms of talent selection, Lan Nuo advocates meritocracy. As long as there are capable people, no matter what industry they are in, they can be reused equally. The most typical example is the 60-year-old farmer Sa'am who invented A series of farming tools helped farmers reduce the time spent on farming and cultivate the land better. Lan Nuo was finally appointed as Minister of Agriculture to research and develop various farming tools and be responsible for the promotion and use of these tools.In addition, there are three civilian-born children who were trained by Lan Nuo as the future pillars of Mosleys. They are the successor of the Minister of State Affairs—Lu Xi, the successor of the city defense army—Lu Sai, and the successor of the Minister of Finance— Lu Fa, these three people are in charge of the government affairs, military affairs, and economy of Mosleys respectively. After all, as Lano grows up and leaves Mosleys, Torosi and Lebi will also leave successively. It is necessary to cultivate a few confidantes to manage Mosleys, and Lu Xi, Lu Sai, and Lu Fa knew everything, and they admired Lan Nuo since they were young, and they were loyal to Lan Nuo, so they were the most suitable candidates.The three of them lived up to expectations. After studying with Torosi and Lebi for 58 years, they were able to stand alone. Even Charlie kept praising them every time they met. Family members cannot enter the dark group), it is estimated that Charlie has already abducted these talents into the dark group.Lan Nuo's reform measures have won the welcome of most of the common people in Mosleys, and of course they have also been opposed by many old stubborn and aristocratic families, but Lan Nuo ignores them all, and those who make trouble will be punished according to the law. After the nobles saw that it was useless to make trouble and would go to jail instead, they had to give up protesting and obediently abide by the new rules.In this way, after 5 years of rectification, Mosleys now has a completely new atmosphere, with a developed commercial economy, self-sufficiency in food (in the past, it was necessary to buy from neighboring cities), and the people's life is rich, and it has become an emerging developed country. City, Lanno's prestige in Mosleys is also growing day by day.In the past five years, apart from increasing the strength of Mosleys, Lan Nuo has devoted all his energy to the cultivation of magic. Now his wood magic is as good as fire magic.In addition, he also tried to practice water and earth magic, but failed all the time, which made Lan Nuo very distressed.Since meeting the mysterious man in black 5 years ago, Lan Nuo has realized that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. The original small complacency was instantly replaced by a strong enterprising heart.Later, after rummaging through the ancient books of the Rogge family, and discussing with Torosi and Charlie for a long time, they finally came to the conclusion that this mysterious man in black should be the extinct demon saint from the Glorious Continent. All the forces couldn't find out the origin of the man in black, but because he helped him break through the bottleneck of wood-type magic cultivation, Lan Nuo guessed that this man should not be with the person who wanted to assassinate him back then, nor Any malice, just put your mind at ease and leave him alone.When Lan Nuo was at a low ebb in his magic practice, Thomas was far away at Emma College.Miller also frequently wrote letters inviting Lano to study at Emma College. After Thomas handed out the 5th letter of invitation, Lano finally agreed to enroll in this fall.The reason why Lan Nuo agreed to go to Emma College is because, firstly, because Emma College has a history of 5 years and has preserved many ancient books. Maybe he can find a way to break through the magic of the earth and water systems. In addition, he can read As for the magic books of the light department and the dark department, because there are too few people who can practice these two kinds of magic, it is difficult to buy the corresponding magic books on the market; You can find an opportunity to go home to see your relatives, or you can meet your sister Ellie and brother Alan on campus. The two of them have entered Emma College together after Thomas returned to Emma College five years ago.Therefore, after arranging all the affairs of Mosleys, Lan Nuo picked a sunny morning and set off to leave Mosleys, but Charlie and William, who were left behind, were still worried. They wanted to send Lan Nuo, but they were sent all the way outside the city gate, and the sun also ran from the rising sun to the noon of the day, and the three of them were still at the gate of Mosleys City. "Uncle Charlie, Master William, here, look, the sun is already on the top of your head, and people over there are also cooking lunch. Shouldn't you go back, or you won't even be able to catch up with lunch later." Lan Nuo pointed to the thatched hut next to the distant farmhouse with green smoke rising, and said helplessly, the ball on his shoulder also opened his eyes in response to the occasion, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the bright sunshine with some displeasure . "Okay, Lano, you have to be careful, we're going back." Charlie smiled a little embarrassedly, and dragged William, who was unwilling, to the city. Seeing this, Lano couldn't help but Hold the forehead, my God, I lost to these two elders, and then without a word, I flew on the horse, raised the whip, and the horse flew over quickly like a flying arrow, kicking up a lot of dust, and in a blink of an eye , Lan Nuo disappeared in the sight of the two.
