Wizard From Afar

In retrospect, Loren can't remember how he returned; because when he came back to his senses, he was already outside the Scarlet Blood Castle.

From Yun Peak to the border of Byrne, and then from the border to the count collar of the Scarlet Blood Castle in the north-central part... When alone, have endured the hardships of a long journey, and when you return to the Scarlet Castle with untidy clothes , The female count of the Scarlet Blood Castle-Charlotte Torino, as if he had expected him to arrive at this time, stood outside the palace gate "waiting."

Just below the gate, the female count in a black and red dress with a meticulous expression, staring at the Duke of Byrne, who looks like a wandering Knight, with her head raised, her sharp gaze looking down seems to be able to pierce him s face.

Icy eyes, serious expression, arrogant posture, majestic and full of killing intent aura...just a few words "Never enter" on the bright and white forehead Word up.

Such a scene is similar to the first time two people meet has several points of.

"Your Excellency, today is the 64th day of your'departure' of the Yunling Kingdom."

Charlotte calmly looked at the battered and exhausted black hair wizard. Then, there was no emotion in the voice: "Remember... Did you promise me something before you set off?"

"Uh... vaguely remember some." Pressing on the "Bounce" heart, Loren A slightly flattering smile appeared: "I promised two months at most, that is to say..."

"You are late...four days." Pressing the corners of her lips, Charlotte still Staring at him without feelings, look steadily forward: "I have reminded you that in two months we are going to negotiate with Holy Cross Church and decide on the candidate for Byrne bishop?"

"Uh... It seems that there is something like this..."

"Have I told you that the envoy of the Duke of Arles will come back at any time to discuss the joint encirclement and suppression of trolls, heretical cults and trade routes?"

"Should...should..."

"Did I also say that the people of His Royal Highness Brandon have come to urge several times, let us solve the problem in Boi as soon as possible. Crane Legion supply route?"

"I remember this! Lucian reminded me!" The black hair wizard with a pleased look quickly added, and asked with concern:

p>

"How is the situation, is it serious? I'm not here...Did they make things difficult for you?"

"Look at what you said, how come... They are all kind elders, very good to talk. "

Charlotte said indifferently, turning slightly, and staggering to open the door: "Or please come in quickly-seeing the embarrassed and imageless Duke of Byrne, there is indeed Damage to the Torino family and Byrne's face will make the people and nobles lose confidence in the Torino family."

"In addition, the messengers of the church have been waiting for a long time. Please clean up as soon as possible and prepare to meet them. "

"Uh...okay."

Although something faintly felt something was wrong, but the black hair wizard, who was obviously at a loss, couldn't say anything at this time, only obediently and honestly followed the girl. Behind count, walked into the castle.

Almost as soon as I stepped into the door, I heard a loud roar from the door shafts on both sides.

"Hoo-bang!"

Loren was taken aback, and saw that the door behind him was tightly closed!

Two guards, Knight, stood on both sides of the door like sculptures. They turned to face the door very "wisely", and resolutely implemented the orders of the female count of the Scarlet Blood Castle, pretending not to see their duke .

There is no way back, there is a chaser in front of him-Loren, who is careless, finds himself in a trap.

"Xia, Charlotte, what are you going to do..."

Just as surprised, Loren turned his head and saw the frost-faced female count staring dead. At him; a familiar memory suddenly went back, causing the black hair wizard to instinctively step back...

Boom——!

The Duke of Byrne escaped the slap in the face, but was accurately hit with the right foot by the slender riding boots under the long skirt.

"Huh——?!"

The painful black hair wizard almost jumped up, making a few jumps in pain, and performed the "Golden Rooster Independence" in public.

coldly snorted retracting the boots that protruded and loosened the hem of the skirt that she squeezed. Charlotte calmly returned to her original state, as if nothing happened just now.

"Lord Loren Torino...Do you know why?"

In a sentence without beginning and end, Loren could hear some deep resentment.

"Uh...I know."

The black hair wizard with a twitching mouth tried his best to control himself so as not to shout, and smiled forcefully.

"Just know, I don't have to work on explaining..." Slightly nodded, Charlotte narrowed her eyes, and the green veins exposed in her temple proved how much anger she was enduring.

Instead of three years ago, she would absolutely desperately swallow Loren Torino even the belt tendons without vomiting the bones.

But three years later, the female count of the Scarlet Blood Castle has learned how to vent her anger and dissatisfaction without losing her demeanor while maintaining her demeanor.

"Then, Lord of the Thirteen Lords of Byrne, the successor of the Torino family, Lord Loren Torino..."

Murderous aura, the female count of Murderous Aura Every time you say a word, go up In the previous step, the syllables between the words are spit out from the lips of the cherry blossoms, but they look like the bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl of the Great Desolate Giant Beast. Dare to abandon her responsibilities again, committing danger alone, throwing the burden of Duchy to your courtiers to bear..."

"Let her have to face the church’s cross-brows, arrogant and rude ; The great disappointment of the Duke’s messenger, the prince’s step by step urging..."

"She had to please and comfort her time and time again, and use her every means to treat the importance of feeling that she was neglected and ignored. Envoys, make up all kinds of lies all day long to deceive them so as not to shake their hands..."

"Four days, four days...If you dare to let me experience such four days that life is better than death, life is like a year... "

Step by step, Charlotte was standing in front of Loren with a "pa!"

Of course, it is the "enthusiasm" of wishing to chopped him up ten-thousand times by a thousand blades.

"I use the name of the Knights of the previous generations of the Torino family, and I assure you as the Crimson Blood Castle count..."

Loren, who dared not move, stood still. Watching Charlotte use that elegant and ruthless voice, calmly threatening:

"The Scarlet Blood Castle Palace will not leave you any place, don’t forget this is my castle ——You are ready to sleep on the street!"

Heavy coldly snorted, the riding boots that suddenly turned around make a crisp sound on the stone slab, and you can feel her permeating lovingly within ten steps. The "resentment" around the body.

And a certain "sinner" duke could only stand in place, and his hair that was suddenly turned slapped a slap in the face-still unable to escape.

"What are you doing there, are you going to stand in front of the door for a day?!"

The black hair wizard who heard this shook all over, and hurriedly followed with a relieved expression. expression.

After all, Charlotte will get angry, instead of dragging herself in anxiously, it means that the problem is not too serious to deal with; getting angry is just an expression of dissatisfaction with her not being punctual, and This period of time is nothing more than resentment and anger.

In other words, she will pour out her resentment only when things are handled almost the same, or there is a proper solution, and she will clean up herself "without leaving the slightest face"-otherwise Even if there is a great grievance, it will not show half of it in front of outsiders.

While complaining about myself, I quietly cleaned up all the mess, waited quietly for my return, and then told myself when there was no one...

"How is the situation? "

The black hair wizard who hurriedly followed, cautiously asked-even if you know that it is all right, you still have to pretend not to know and maintain the most sincere "confession" attitude.

Well... This is a kind of tacit understanding for the two people.

"The most troublesome part is over, and basically all have been properly handled." Proudly raised her chin slightly, female count look steadily forward:

"Otherwise, we will wait for everything. You irresponsible duke will deal with it. Byrne Duchy is afraid that he would have all split up and in pieces long ago."

Loren, who dare not say a word, can only follow it. nodded with a smile.

"First of all, there is the Legion logistics problem of His Royal Highness Brandon Desalion-of the three things, this is the easiest one to deal with."

Charlotte’s The voice returned to his normal tone, solemn and serious: "It is too difficult to rely on Byrne's supply, let alone 50,000 people stationed in Boi, but relying on Byrne to provide logistics-just the loss of the road, it has been compared with the total number of supplies. Quite."

"So I discussed with the Chief-In-Charge of His Highness Brandon, and decided that Boye would provide half of the supplies in the future, and Byrne would give out part of the mineral and silver assistance to subsidize him. Yi, this can basically be maintained."

"Anyway, whether minerals or silver, they all come from our Lord Byrne swindle from the Yunling Kingdom; piled in the vault is also idle. Now, Byrne has no loss."

"Let Boye be responsible?" A confused expression appeared on Loren's face: "Can Salika Jonah agree?"

"Of course she would not agree, but she must agree-rebuild Thousand Tent City, revive Great Boi, new silver armored cavalry and hussar Legion, these all are asking for money and fine iron ore, as well as a large number of skilled Craftsman."

"Salika Jonah is a cunning female monkey, but bargaining is not the strong point of this female monkey...she will also take advantage of it."

Charlotte suddenly looked back and glanced at him coldly: "Or our Lord Duke can't bear it, ready to...have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex?"

black hair wizard can Certainly, the sentence just now was definitely ironic to myself.

"What do you say..."

With a low voice, Loren quickly changed the subject: "What about Brandon? Almost all of his Legion is provided. If we want to raise ourselves, will it be a problem if we suddenly interrupt the supply?"

"My lord, do you really think this prince will be stupid enough to hang on a rope-three years , Sarika Jonah and Brandon had reached a private alliance a long time ago, and only the female monkey would be so stupid that no one else knew anything about it!"

The helpless black hair wizard can only follow nodded.

"The unreasonable prince, and the mother monkey who caused trouble is very easy to solve..." Charlotte slowly said:

"Holy Cross Church, the envoy of Innocent Archbishop It’s not so easy to send."

"I know a little bit..." The black hair wizard put a smile away and looked towards her solemnly: "It was chosen for the people of Byrne bishop, right?"

"Bishop candidate..." Lightly snorted, the corner of the female count's eyes showed a trace of resentment:

"It should be said that it is the teacher who came to Xingxing to ask the crime and take the opportunity to make trouble. !"

"en?"

Loren was startled.

"Three years ago, because of Governor Byrne and the Blood Cult, the entire Byrne church was almost destroyed, to the point where there was no one in ten." Charlotte said solemnly:

"Not only the Scarlet Blood Castle, but also the churches of the counties and the monasteries in the countryside have been damaged to varying degrees. The priest and the nuns suffered heavy casualties."

"During the period for reconstruction Byrne Church, calm the emotions of the people-of course, it is more to ease the contradiction between Byrne and the Celestial Palace, and prevent them from doing nothing; we almost accepted all the conditions of the church, and it only took three years to make the whole worship. The Church of Grace has regained its vitality."

"In three years...the number of priests in Byrne, is it impossible to rebuild the church within three years?"

"So there are a lot of The church and the monastery are full of priests and nuns, outsiders and local priests appointed by the Holy Cross Church, or Innocent Archbishop. The number of outsiders and local priests is almost half to half. In other words..."

"Compared to Byrne's interests, Byrne Church is more subordinate to Imperial Capital's Holy Cross Church, or...Innocent Archbishop." took a deep breath, Loren took Charlotte's words: "Yes Is that so?"

"...Yes."

Stopping, the female count slowly turned around, facing the black hair wizard: "Today's Byrne Church The priests from Sacland, Golovin, and Lothar are full of priests, all assigned by Archbishop-any Holy Cross Church orders will be executed unconditionally."

"Although the princes of Duchy in the past have the right to speak for the bishop candidates in their country, the prerequisite for this is that the church in the country is on the side of the duke; otherwise, you can only choose their people no matter how you choose."

"So if they really want to choose a Byrne bishop that absolutely obeys Archbishop, or...everywhere against you, we may not even have room for rebuttal."

Loren His complexion sank.

Although the power of the Holy Cross in Byrne is no better than Lothair and Imperial Capital, and the wizard class has become more powerful in Byrne in the past three years, the church is still very influential for the civilian class. Power and the right to speak; if they really oppose themselves everywhere, opposing for the sake of opposition, it is still very difficult to entangle.

If you can't beat you, you can also be disgusting. This is almost the case.

"Of course, the church’s problem is no longer a problem — what you have to do is to choose a Byrne bishop that suits you as soon as possible." Charlotte said indifferently:

"The rest of the things have been solved."

"They are all solved?!" Loren looked at her in disbelief, and blurted out subconsciously: "Who solved it?!"

p>

Charlotte rolled the eyes a little calmly, turned around and stopped looking at him.

The black hair wizard with a shocked face, was slapped again by the long hair of assaults the senses.

"pa ——!"
