It feels so good to stick to Miss Witch

"I, Shadow Witch Lilia, solemnly swear an oath here."

"From now on, I..."

Before Lilia finished speaking, Roy reached out to hold Lilia's pale hand, and interrupted her: "This is an agreement between us, Miss Lilia, you don't need to mind, and you don't need to promise any promises. "

He showed a faint smile to the Shadow Witch Lilia: "Compared to vows, I believe in the cooperation of exchange of benefits."

"It's more stable."

"So, Miss Lilia, are you willing to agree to work for me for three years, as a reward, I will get rid of the pollution on you and your younger sister Vivian."

Without any hesitation, Lilia lowered her head: "I am willing."

"Very good." The smile on Roy's face grew wider.

"I'll go to the lord's study next door first. You take good care of Miss Vivienne here. After returning to the Blackstone Territory, I will arrange a brand new residence for you."

Lilia nodded, and after watching Roy's figure disappear from the door, she turned to look at Vivian lying on the bed.

Without the mental and physical torture caused by semi-out-of-control pollution, Vivienne's white and tender face was very peaceful, her brows that had been frowning all this time were relaxed, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, It seems to have come true.

Shadow Witch Lilia came to the bed and sat down, stretched out her hand to hold her sister's hand, feeling the warmth of her palm, she murmured softly: "Sister..."

"Tell me, Lord Roy, what kind of person is he?"

……

Inside the study of the lord of Iron Mountain Fortress.

Roy sat on the chair behind the desk and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the short time from the bedroom to the study, his body consumed a small amount of energy, which relieved his "burst" state a lot.

Vivienne, the Witch of Light, is in an extremely critical state, and there is really no way to wait any longer. Otherwise, Roy will not be so embarrassed if he gets more low-purity magic crystals from Xinghu during the "Plenty Soil Festival" when he is fully prepared.

Fortunately, the harvest is also great.

After reaching a "cooperation" with the shadow witch Lilia, he finally has the first battle witch under his command!

The power of shadow is a true fighting talent, and it has infinite uses. The shadow witch Vivienne is the strongest even among all the witches.

Of course, it's incomparable to Ice Witch Ais, this guy is an "extraordinary" existence.

But Ice Witch Ace only promised to do "three things" for him, and now she has used up one, while Shadow Witch Lilia can be dispatched at any time within three years.

The gap is self-evident.

With a good mood, Roy took out the Duke's letter delivered by the Knights of the Red Knights Ayman from his arms, opened it and read it.

But the first line of words that entered made Roy's pupils shrink slightly.

"Roy Turumbell: Hello."

"First of all, congratulations on winning the battle to merge the territories."

"Don't have any doubts, your father, Jess Turumbel, and his good friend, Rami Galloway, were once excellent knights under my command. Over the past few decades, few people know the relationship between them. Few, including me."

"The God's Punishment Knight sent from the temple to Blackstone to investigate the Ice Witch incident is Lamy, and after knowing that he escorted you to the God's Punishment Prison, I knew that you must be plotting something."

"I know Knight Lamy's character very well. He has a sense of justice in his heart, but he values ​​affection even more. Knowing that you are the son of Jess, how could he escort you to God's Punishment Prison?"

"Based on the 'Declaration of Territory Merger Battle' sent by someone sent by Lord Denham, I know that you must have other plans."

"Haha, you can see this letter, which means I guessed right."

"Okay, I won't repeat the gossip."

"After winning the battle to merge the territories, tomorrow, you will receive the title and lord appointment from the empire, and become the administrator of the Blackstone Territory and the Iron Mountain Territory."

"Next, I want to tell you two serious things."

"First, in the spring of next year, you must send enough military forces to help defend the border. The standard for a territory is a Bronze Knight. Now that you have two territories, you need to send at least two Bronze Knights."

"Secondly, when mining low-purity magic crystals in the Star Lake of the 'Plenty of Soil Festival', it is very important not to go deep into it! Otherwise, even the Golden Knights are in danger of dying."

"That's almost it. Oh, by the way, I have a piece of information to tell you. The battle for the merger of the territories between the Blackstone Territory and the Iron Mountain Territory. In the imperial capital, the nobles who guaranteed Lord Denham were hereditary Marquis Hermann, there are rumors that he is very close to the second prince of the empire."

"—Bryton Soros."

Putting down the letter in his hand, Roy's eyes were serious.

This letter from the Border Duke reveals a lot.

It is not surprising that the Duke of the Frontier knew about the relationship between the old Lord Blackstone and Uncle Lamy, and speculated that he had "other plans".

This plan is not clever, and the reason why it can be successful is because of an "information gap".

What Roy cares about is those two business matters and the last "reminder".

It is the responsibility and obligation of every noble within the province of Rafah for the lord to send military forces to help defend the border, but the combat power of the two Bronze Knights...it seems to have been planned in advance.

And "Festival of Abundant Soil" Star Lake mining low-purity magic crystals should not go deep... Even the Golden Knight is in danger of falling, what is there in the depths of Star Lake?

As for the last "reminder", Herman, the hereditary Marquis who vouched for Lord Denham, and the Second Prince of the Empire behind him...

Roy rubbed his forehead in distress.

From the letter left by the old lord, he knew that there might be some turmoil when the empire was changing recently, but he never expected that this kind of struggle at the top of the empire would affect his little border lord collar.

It's really... speechless.

"Marquis Hermann...the second prince..."

In the study room, Roy looked intently and muttered softly.

Combined with the admonition given to him by the Duke of Borders, he had some guesses in his mind.

The black stone collar is very ordinary, the only special thing is the star lake.

And is it because of Xinghu that the big figures of the empire set their sights on a small black stone leader?

Chapter 46 New Breathing Method

The letter from the Duke of the Border lifted Roy's heart, which had just been relieved by the victory in the territorial merger battle.

Marquis Hermann, Second Prince of the Empire...

If such a big shot at the upper echelon of the empire really intends to go to the Blackstone Territory, will he give up because of Lord Denham's defeat?

Probably not.

They will definitely use other methods to coerce Roy to give up the Blackstone collar.

And this is what Roy can't accept.

In this world, the status of a nobleman is very important, with many privileges, and it is extremely critical to his own development.

Fortunately, Roy is not fighting alone. Behind him, or in other words, behind the Blackstone collar, stands the border Duke Soros family.

Judging from the contents of the letter, the Duke of Borders already knew about the plans of the Second Prince of the Empire and Marquis Herman to get involved in the Blackstone Territory.

From a certain point of view, the reason why the Second Prince of the Empire and Marquis Herman convolutedly let Lord Denham take action and launched a territorial merger battle against the Blackstone Territory was because they did not want to reveal their intentions before obtaining the Blackstone Territory.

As long as the territorial annexation battle begins, under the sacred imperial law, even the border dukes cannot forcibly intervene.

But now, the plans of the Second Prince of the Empire and Marquis Herman have been exposed. It will not be so easy for them to take action against the Black Stone leader on the premise that the Duke of the Frontier is aware of it.

Of course, one's own territory cannot be placed in the hands of others. Only one's own strength can deal with all external crises.

This made it more urgent for Roy to improve his strength and power.

The Bronze Horseman, after all, is still too weak.

If he himself possesses the strength of a golden knight, or if he has many bronze or even silver knights under his command, even if it is a high-level empire, if he wants to move him, he has to weigh whether it is worth it.

……

After collecting the Duke's letter, Roy was going to search the lord's study.

For an aristocrat, the most important places are the treasure house and the study.

Needless to say, the treasure house, but the study room...In this era, knowledge is a very precious resource, and the study room where books record knowledge is undoubtedly a reflection of the heritage of an aristocratic family.

After searching carefully, in the end, there were two most valuable things in front of Roy.

Same, it is a cheat book of breathing method.

The other was an envelope with a gilded edge and a violet emblem.

The breathing method cheat book, named "Ryukin Breathing Method", is an advanced breathing method that focuses on defense. At the same time, it records a secret technique called "Instant Metal" that can be used in conjunction with the breathing method, which can be used within 10 seconds. , to flow fighting energy back into the heart, bringing stronger explosive power, but the disadvantages are also obvious. After the duration of the secret skill ends, the heart will be severely injured, and you cannot fight with others for at least three months, otherwise the heart trauma will be further aggravated. It cannot be used at the moment of life and death.

Compared with the "explosive breathing method", although the "Liujin breathing method" has a better name, its effect is obviously not as good.

Not to mention the speed of ingesting magic particles in daily practice, just because Roy focuses on the defense that is useless in Roy's view, and the secret technique of breathing method with great side effects, makes him look down on this advanced breathing method.

Although both belong to the advanced breathing method, as a lower version of a special breathing method, the explosive breathing method has an effect that is not comparable to that of ordinary advanced breathing methods.

The quality of the "Golden Breathing Method" is low, but it is not useless. It can be used to reward the official knights under him, giving them a chance to break through the bronze rank.

In the spring of next year, two Bronze Knights will need to be dispatched to the border to coordinate defense. In the current Blackstone Territory, Bronze-level combat power is obviously insufficient. ——It is impossible to release Lord Denham and his entourage knight Jax from the Blackstone Prison, so naturally they cannot be counted as part of our own combat power.

Therefore, it is imminent to train several new bronze knights.

Putting the "Golden Breathing Method" into the storage space of [Original Sin Rubik's Cube], Roy turned his attention to the envelope with the violet emblem.

It has not been a short time since he came to this world. Roy also learned some routine knowledge through the books in the old Lord Blackstone's study.

The violet emblem is the symbol of the royal family of the Radiance Empire.

Dare to use this emblem, come to think of it, this letter should be sent to Lord Denham by the second prince of the empire.

Roy's heart skipped a beat.

Through this letter, he may be able to know more clearly the real reason why the second prince of the empire targeted the Blackstone collar.

Picking up the envelope and opening it halfway, Roy suddenly felt the envelope start to heat up in his hand.

His expression changed, he turned around decisively, and threw the envelope in his hand out of the open window.

As soon as the envelope was thrown out, there was a "boom", and it exploded into a blooming fireball the size of a water tank.

The huge movement immediately attracted the attention of the entire Iron Mountain Fortress.

The sound of "tattling" footsteps approached quickly, and the door of the study was pushed open with a loud "bang". Red rushed in anxiously, until he saw Roy who was intact. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Roy, what happened, but someone sneaked up on you?"

Roy shook his head, his face was a little ugly.
