Raymond, who did not make a promise to Miches on the spot, was led to the third floor by Miches's old housekeeper after saying goodbye. After turning the corner of the corridor, he entered the room prepared for him.
This is a large room facing north and south. The decoration is simple but the appliances are all high-quality. Although it is plain, it still has that kind of subtle low-key luxury, showing its status as a hereditary nobleman everywhere.
On top of the twelve-foot round bed, the purple mosquito net tassels hang down on the carpet, and the fragrant bedding was obviously put up not long ago.
Standing by the bed and releasing his senses, Raymond carefully checked everything in the room. After confirming that there was no hidden possibility of peeking, he went straight to the terrace.
There is a rocking chair on the spacious terrace with a wide view, and there is a silver ice bucket on the small table next to it. The chilled wine in it is obviously just in time to taste.
Taking a deep breath, the fresh and lightly scented air was inhaled into his lungs, which lifted his spirits.
Ignoring the exquisite wine glass placed next to the wine barrel, Raymond, who picked up the wine bottle from the ice bucket, leaned on the railing, uncorked the bottle and directly put his mouth to it.
The mellow and cold wine stayed in the mouth for a moment, then turned into a line of ice and entered the body, but the faint aftertaste in the mouth did not dissipate for a long time. It is obvious that this bottle of wine is not only very old, but also brewed at the same time.
The selection of raw materials is also quite good.
The ancient mansion is located in the center of Red Rock Castle. The darkness before dawn has been dispelled. Standing on the terrace, Raymond can see the wizard towers distributed in an arc, as well as the city lord's palace not too far away.
Raymond was a little unhappy about Sir Michael's somewhat rash request for permission.
Michus, who was overly enthusiastic when they first met, seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. However, regardless of whether he had the ability to repair talisman formations or not, and regardless of the generous remuneration he proposed, it was too much just based on the matter.
Abrupt, this is not something that a hereditary noble should be able to do.
"Even if I understand the talisman array, there is no reason to ask for repairs to the talisman array set up by his family, right? You can be so confident in showing the family talisman array to me after we just met? This is almost a joke..."
With this thought in his mind, Raymond, who had not tasted such a fine wine for a long time, unknowingly drank a whole bottle of wine. Although only barbarians could drink like this, Lei Meng never considered himself a noble.
Meng, but he doesn't care.
After throwing the empty wine bottle back into the ice bucket, Raymond's eyes crossed the front yard of the mansion and focused on the most solemn and magnificent buildings in the entire inner city of Red Rock Castle.
Only a few hundred meters away is the city lord's palace of Hongyan Castle, which is also the residence of the city lord Nakanbas who took office less than ten years ago.
Three castles distributed in a 'pin' shape are hidden within the city wall that is more than ten meters high. Looking at the four-corner towers, there are guards patrolling, but there are no tall trees in the entire city lord's palace. It is said that there are
After the current city lord arrived, all the original ancient trees were cut down...
"This should be a defensive measure. Without trees to cover and hide the traces, it will be more difficult. It seems that the city lord transferred from the Mihir defense line still attaches great importance to his own safety..."
After making such a guess, Raymond reorganized the information about the city lord Kangbas that Miches had told before.
According to Miches, this guy who was transferred from the Michiel defense line to defend against the abyss monsters is an out-and-out Dawn level wizard. His family background is relatively simple, but he is very ruthless in his attacks.
Warzone wizard style.
"In the first five years after taking office, I killed or expelled the former city lord's cronies, and then it only took two years to integrate all the forces in Hongyan Castle. And three years ago, I started to extend my tentacles to Hongyan Castle.
Of the hereditary nobles, one-third of the original more than 30 hereditary nobles have already lost their titles. It must be that such a big war must not only be a matter of interests, but also the war zone council behind it must have instigated or tacitly approved it.
…”
Thinking of this, Raymond suddenly felt that he had grasped some key point, but after a moment he burst into laughter. "How is it possible... The underground world has always been in a passive defensive posture, and it will never invade the abyssal plane.
Well, if the evil creatures there gather together, the combat power of the underground world will not be enough..."
After ruling out the possibility of a war, Raymond then thought of the reward that Michael had promised before.
A complete warrior puppet made by the alchemist Gumodo, and two kilograms of alloy used to refine the warrior warrior!
"A puppet whose strength reaches the level of a great knight and whose spell resistance exceeds that of a second-level wizard is considered very valuable. But those two kilograms of alloy are quite precious. Such a reward is really tempting...
…”
He pursed his lips and considered the pros and cons. The information currently available showed that the Lord of Red Rock Castle, Combas, was planning to deprive Miches of his hereditary title on the grounds that he was unable to repair his family's talisman formation. To this end, he also blocked
This opens up the possibility for Michus to seek help from the Talisman Master.
As for the Miches family, which has lived in Red Rock Castle for more than a thousand years, whether it is due to their nostalgia for the title of 'hereditary noble' or considering the efforts their family has made for this city,
Or maybe it’s because Michus is so attached to his family’s honor that the measures he is planning to take now are all about confrontation rather than compromise, even if the city lord Combas proposes that he give up his title and leave Hong Kong with his family’s property.
Rock Castle's suggestions were also rejected by him twice...
After comparing the pros and cons in his mind, Raymond suddenly turned up with a smile, but he laughed in vain. "So what if I pissed off the city lord Kang Bas!"
The pride rising in his chest made Raymond's eyes become firm. After taking one last glance at the city lord's palace, he turned around, left the terrace and walked out of the room.
Following the corridors and stairs that he passed through before, Raymond appeared in the previous hall a moment later.
Michelle, who was still sitting on the sofa, had a sad face. The glass of wine in his hand was shaking unconsciously, and his movements must have been a little big before, because there was a trace of light on the outer wall of the transparent crystal cup.
Bright red wine stains.
But Scar and Dark Elf Freya, who were sitting on the side, stood up the first moment Raymond appeared and bowed their heads slightly to salute Raymond who was going downstairs.
He nodded slightly and sped up a little, but Miches only came to his senses after he got closer and quickly stood up. "Ah! Lord Raymond..."
Facing the expectant Mitchell, Raymond, who had already made his decision, joked, "Lord Mitchell, you are a hereditary nobleman of Red Rock Castle..."
With a wry smile, he placed the crystal glass in his hand that had spilled half of it on the table. He took out a snow-white silk scarf and wiped the wine on the back of his hand. He sighed and apologized. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I really can't bear the extra time."
With this kind of pressure from the family, I guess you have already made a decision?"
"Not yet, but since this is the first time I have come to this Red Rock Castle, I have the idea of walking around. I don't know if it is suitable?"
Raymond's answer made Michael's expression collapse. Disappointment and frustration flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth to speak but finally closed his mouth, but soon a smile returned to his face. "Red
The rock castle has been built for more than a thousand years. There are many places to visit in the inner and outer cities. I will sort it out and accompany you there..."
Surprised by Mitchell's attitude, Raymond quickly interrupted him. "No need to bother! My friend has been to Red Rock Castle before, so just let him lead the way..."
Raymond, who winked at Scar as he spoke, nodded and left, while Michels, who followed him out of the hall and entered the front yard of the mansion, ordered the servants to arrange the carriage immediately.
Raymond, who had some guesses in his mind that needed to be confirmed, once again declined the invitation of Miches who wanted to accompany him. He took Scar and the dark elf Freya and left Sir Miches's mansion...
