Wizard From Afar

On the border of Western Sacrament, a crow stopped on a stone tablet with the words "Sackland-Lottaire-Eboden junction", and it glanced around, Then took off and flew in the direction of Eboden.

Below the black wings shouting "Squeaky" is a densely packed barracks, spread out like a chessboard in the endless wilderness.

There used to be large forest streams, natural pastures, farms and fields, riverside markets, and the three major duchy borders that flourished and prospered by business and travel trade; except for the road underfoot, only this fire was left burning. Later, it was just a wilderness where the army could camp.

And after a few days of marching in the rain, Byrne-Almand-Lottaire Legion, finally, on a cloudless and clear day, with the northward Sackland-Byrne Legion Converge.

In the camp, the Knights and the nobles from the four Duchys have three floors and three floors outside the Floating Void City. The crowd constantly exclaimed, tsk tsk cried out, plus The voice of compliment.

"Gentlemen, sirs, sirs! What will you do when you meet an enemy?" A young wizard apprentice stood in the middle of the crowd, holding a rod in his hand. Light spear dancing:

"If you were a Byer, you would mount a war horse and charge at the enemy with armor;

If you were a Sackland, you would ask me Where is the Hundred Men Squad, where is the shield wall;

If you are a Lothar, you will pick up bows and arrows, the Alemans will wield double swords, and the Bois will use the scimitars. The Arlesians will battle axes and heavy crossbows... but this!"

The wizard apprentice gave a sudden stop and raised the bright spear above his head, stared wide-eyed with an expression of eating people: "This It is a lance, a type of bright light spear, also known as "Dragon Spear"...you lords believe me, there is definitely a reason for her name."

"The largest one hundred meters Shooting range, 50 meters full formidable power shooting range... What does this mean? It means that when your enemy is just a small black spot in your eyes, you can kill him."

"And when he can aim the weapon at you, you have killed him at least twice!"

Speaking, the wizard apprentice looked around for a week: "Everyone here...has anyone participated in Imperial Capital's defense? Fighting, has anyone seen her formidable power?"

Several Sacklanders in the room raised their hands, and the Lothar and Alemans on the other side were also nodded.

"Then you should know that even if it is fifty meters away, she can make a hole in the strongest Knight armor; a hundred meters...you won't even have time to blink." Wizard apprentice The expression is very exciting:

"Unique and unmatched design, incomparable weapon; without any effort, you can kill your enemy with a light finger... Masters look at her, you You will know what the color of the future is, and you will know what the Sovereign of the future battlefield is!"

"When your army wields 20,000 light spears and a hundred lightsabers are on. When more than ten Floating Void City appeared on the battlefield, tell me...Who is your opponent and who dares to stand in front of you?"

"The answer is obvious! It must be the same as you , An army armed with these super alchemical weapons-because if he doesn't do it, he knows that it is bring about one's own destruction!"

The voice fell, the wizard apprentice took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth were exposed. Smile: "And now...I am honored to tell everyone that the Byrne Wizard's Guild and the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower will sell a thousand bright spears to you brave leaders!"

"It is true , Such terrifying weapons are too much to be used in the dispute between Duchy, but it is especially useful when used on the Azores-let us shout the prestige of the Holy Cross, use rays of light to purify them, the empire Long live!"

"Long live the empire——!!!"

Standing behind the cheering crowd, the black hair wizard looked astonished.

"That wizard apprentice...is Selan Kovo?" Loren muttered to himself, turning his head and looking towards Isaac beside him: "I remember he was quiet, when? Become this look...and why did he become your apprentice?"

Serlan Kovo-Pharmacy Master Lussac Kovo's only son, a few years ago In Imperial Capital's "The Imperial Judgment Incident", he went to Xiamu Courtyard and told Loren about his father, which caused a series of troubles...Of course, he is basically not to blame.

Because of the collapse of father’s death guide Serran Kovo’s spiritual palace, he can only engage in the simplest potion configuration and theoretical research, and he can no longer contact Void Power too much.

As soon as they met, Isaac recommended Loren as his “new apprentice” as a mentor.

"Why? Because I am now the veteran of the wizard tower. According to the regulations, every elder must have at least one successor...even if it is only temporary." as it should be by rights 撅噘Mouth, Isaac has a "what can make a fuss about nothing" expression:

"Furthermore, I am now mainly engaged in mysticism theory plus practical research on Void Power...As long as the innate talent is good enough, Whether you can get in touch with Void Power is not important at all—for example, my personal experience in this life can be counted on one's fingers, and I am not the same as a Master?"

"even more how …he Already my'ex-apprentice'."

Isaac let out a sigh, seemingly discouraged.

"Oh, why?"

"Because the Torino family of the Scarlet Blood Castle has officially sent an invitation to Sir Seran Kovo to become the messenger of the Byrne wizard's guild , Responsible for all negotiations related to the wizard’s guild."

Charlotte Torino, who did not know when to appear, stood tall and stood beside the black hair wizard, and looked at with her proud little chin. He:

"Regardless of treatment conditions or title status, he is three times as much as the heir to a wizard tower veteran-of course, this does not contain any maliciousness, just because he is really worth so much."

p>

Faced with the high-spirited and vigorous, the very scarlet blood castle female count, an angry Isaac hugged her shoulders and turned her head aside without looking at her.

The black hair wizard who looked curiously between the two, probably guessed what happened, held back a smile: "Why?"

"Why? Ha... I Duke, you dare to ask!" Charlotte, who gave him a blank glance, turned his gaze to the wizard apprentice who was still yelling in the crowd: "Eight thousand bright spears, twenty Set up a lightsaber, plus a Floating Void City...Even if there are Imperial Capital supplies, do you know how much it will cost to maintain such a standing army?!"

"Not to mention that Byrne has already contributed to this The war contributed one hundred thousand troops, one third weapon expenditure, 1/4/2021 logistics expenditure, tens of thousands filled with wheat, iron ingots, potatoes, wine, cloth...carriage and cargo ship piles of various materials It is full of the Imperial Avenue and the Jewel River route, and Byrne is responsible for providing one-half of these carriages and cargo ships!"

"It's about the destiny of the empire. Of course I understand that Byrne must She must fulfill her due obligations; but it is a pity that she only has one duke who knows how to constantly ask for it from her; if no one is willing to stand up and think of ways to save and optimize expenses, the wealthy is like Byrne. Can't afford to be so ruined!"

The female count of panting with rage was excited to make her cheeks slightly dyed pink.

Looking at her look, Loren is a little bit embarrassed.

"So... in order to subsidize the family, are you going to sell a stock of bright spears at a high price among these nobles?"

"Not what you think."

coldly snorted, Charlotte, who heard the word "subsidized household", had reddened cheeks: "Ain told me that this weapon has a very high rate of damage; of course, you can’t take the original Not much inventory is sold to others, otherwise when the time comes, what weapons should our warriors use?"

"Then you are going to..."

"It's very simple, We sell the'ownership'."

"Ownership?"

"Don't understand?"

Charlotte, with a disappointed look, shook her head, corners of her eyes A hint of hidden pride flashed: "To put it bluntly, it's like the relationship between the duke and count’s conscripts."

"These armies belong to count, but during the war count You must hand over your army to the duke's unified jurisdiction, training and assigning tasks; when the war is over, these troops will be disbanded, and the surviving soldiers will return to count under the command...understand?"

Can’t understand? I don't understand.

Basically, everyone who buys weapons at a high price will engrave their own coat of arms and name on it to indicate ownership, but the right to use is still vested in Byrne’s shooting army; when the war is over, All weapons that have not been damaged will be returned to the owner who "owns them" intact.

And how many people are willing to be taken advantage of this kind of namelessness...for a business without capital, you can make a profit by selling one more branch. As for after the war...Of course you can "repay" it back, because anyway. No need anymore.

"Is anyone really willing to buy it?" Loren still asked.

"A thousand sticks have been sold, and the current thousand sticks are the second batch of stock."

Huh? !

Charlotte, who face doesn't change, raised her eyes and scanned the surprised black hair wizard: "Do you understand now, I must dig this apprentice out of Isaac for the reason ?"

Loren understood it again.

No wonder Lena Desalion watched Charlotte "bully" Isaac-if you guessed it, she also had a share in charge of all of Isaac's affairs in this sale, and The profit should not be small.

By the way, Isaac submit to humiliation...it means that even the little wizard can get dividends. After all, this thing is the common result of the two of them; and Ai Yin was on the spear before The prepared inscription card slot can also come in handy...

Well, Isaac is right, we really know a group of amazing women.

The black hair wizard sighed with emotion.

"Why, are there only these questions?" Little proudly snorted Charlotte:

"I thought you would ask...Why am I here? ."

"I think our Scarlet Blood Castle female count appears anywhere and should not be questioned." Loren slightly smiled: "even more how …are you just about to tell me?"

"Who said that?"

Intentionally lowering her voice, female count showed a very useful expression: "This battle of Eboden is no longer just a war. , It is related to the changes in the empire’s structure in the next twenty years."

"Anyone who appears in this war will become an important figure in the next twenty years; on the other hand, all Anyone who does not appear will be just an insignificant, a nobody who will not be mentioned or remembered; the chronicle of the empire will not even be written to them, but will be placed in the roster of the same generation."

"The direct bloodline of Torino's family can never appear in the roster, and will always occupy a place in the chronicle!"

The sonorous and powerful words made Charlotte's expression very Heavy: "If the Torino family cannot be turned into the savior of this war, if Byrne cannot be allowed to control the southern part of the empire in the next twenty years, and one day will rule half of the empire against Desalion in the Sky Palace... …"

"I, Charlotte Torino...will be a shame that will be remembered forever in the history of the Torino family, and our descendants will never forgive me-paid such a heavy price but got nothing. , Watching to let the hegemony of the Torino family dissipate...absolutely not, let this happen!"

"This is my mission, not yours...Loren." The female count calmed down some excitement: " Don't worry, I have a sense of measure; what to do and not to do will not embarrass you...Is there any problem?"

"...There is only one." The black hair wizard asked: " Our Lord Byrne bishop, Webber, where is he now?"

"Outside the barracks, with Ayin and them, it is said that they are preaching to a group of elves from the ancient wood forest." As he said, Even Charlotte himself showed a somewhat weird expression:

"I don't quite understand...Is there really a spirit who believes in the Holy Cross?"

"Yes, The overwhelming majority standing on our side."

"Oh, for example, a female elf who is too close to a guy?"

"...I think there should be some misunderstanding in this. "

"I don't think so. "

Coldly snorted's Charlotte turned her head and asked casually, "After all, what can you do with our Byrne bishop?" "

"It's nothing, I just want to know about the Old Classics and the Holy Cross, purely because... uh, what is your look? "

The stared wide-eyed female count who turned around suddenly surprised the black hair wizard.

"I don't know...you are a wizard, when did you start paying attention to these?" "

"Can't you? "

"It's not impossible, but...you are not very religious, are you? No, it's too polite to say that. You should be a typical anti-church. How did you think of contacting these? ! "

"Maybe I suddenly woke up, realized the importance of faith to my life and soul, and was inspired by the Holy Cross... Is this explanation okay? "

"No, but I don't care either-because it must be because this thing is useful for a certain plan of yours, or what you plan to use it for. "Charlotte shook his head:

"Because true believers never ask why, only you will go to the bottom. "

"..."Loren ·Torino.
