Xiao Muzi looked at the baron who was singing to himself, and fell into deep thought. This guy... couldn't be a fool, right? What did the master do to him...
But now that the matter has come to this, it is not appropriate to continue to be afraid. After another inner struggle, Xiao Muzi said: "Besides the grapes, I have one more condition.
Russell, if you promise me, I am willing to obey the master's last wish and follow you wholeheartedly from now on without a single complaint."
"Based on your master's status in my heart, I will try my best to meet any conditions, not just one thing, but just say it!"
"Master has said that witches of all generations will die alone. This is the price of using powerful witchcraft. If you want to avoid this fate, you must hold the witch god's apocalyptic witchcraft staff to escape."
Hearing this, the Baron seemed to understand Xiao Muzi's request and asked tentatively: "Do you want me to help you find the Apocalypse Witching Staff?"
Xiao Muzi shook his head and explained: "To be precise, it's not about finding it, it's about taking it away. I know where the Apocalypse Witching Staff is."
"where?"
"Inside the body of a woman named Queen Roniel, rather than in the body, she is actually the incarnation of the Apocalypse Witch Wand.
My master sacrificed his life by using the Heaven-Returning Technique, but this technique could only save one person.
She tried to change her fate against the will of heaven and save you two. That’s why she had to use the Apocalypse witch staff as a sacrifice..."
The baron was confused when he heard this. Is this so mysterious?
So, he asked: "One moment you say it is in the body, and the next moment you say she is the incarnation, then how can I take it away?"
"Kill." Xiao Muzi wrote lightly.
"No way!"
"Then I won't go with you."
"If you don't leave, you will die here! I can't possibly hurt her."
"What does she have to do with you? Why do you protect her so much?"
The baron was in a daze and just replied: "She... I think we are more than just good friends. In short, I will never hurt the friendly people around me."
"Have you thought clearly about it, Russell? I think you understand how much advantage my magic and witchcraft can help you gain in future wars."
"Very, clearly. Absolutely, no, kill." The baron replied vigorously and forcefully, word by word.
[System prompt: The friendship between you and the genius wizard Xiao Muzi is 50, and the current friendship is 100.]
[Additional reward: Congratulations, your friendship with the genius wizard Xiao Muzi has reached 100, I will give you a special helmet and a voodoo hat. 】
Before Russell could react, Xiao Muzi stood up and bowed deeply to him, then said: "This is my last test for you. Congratulations on passing. Please take care of me in the future~"
"Uh... what about beating up Emperor Ronnier?"
"There is no apocalyptic witchcraft staff that deceived you. By the way, Master specifically asked me to give you this hat when I meet you again, here."
The baron took the special helmet and voodoo hat with both hands.
[System prompt: Lost item in equipment column—ordinary linen headscarf.]
"Xiao Muzi? Does this hat have any special function?" The baron was very curious.
"The secret must not be leaked, and we will definitely achieve great things in the future. Okay, let's set off~"
Seeing that Xiao Muzi didn't want to elaborate for the time being, Russell didn't press too much. Anyway, he would know sooner or later.
Then, after bidding farewell to Harry Pitt and Ruoshui, the Baron took Xiao Muzi, rode on the Red Blood, and rushed to the town of Uxhall.
While on the road, the Baron secretly communicated with the system in his mind, asking the system to help scan Xiao Muzi to see what her attributes were.
[Genius wizard Xiao Muzi]
[Current character status: full level, strength 10, agility 10, wisdom 50, charm 25.]
[Has skill: "Tactics 8".]
[Evaluation: No training is required. I have experienced special events and special characters before joining the team. It is a pleasure to get started and use it. 】
Russell was really shocked when he saw her attributes and skills, and asked the system in his mind: This little girl is actually the super strategist of "Tactics 8"!?
I can only play "Tactics 1", so this skill of mine is just for show? It means it is of no use at all!
[System prompt: There will always be times when your little girl is not around to assist you~ At that time, you can only rely on yourself.]
Are you kidding me? I will definitely take her with me when I encounter a big battle in the future, hahaha!
[System prompt: Please note that Xiao Muzi is already at full level and will never be able to develop the ability to ride a horse alone. He is always at risk of falling behind on the battlefield. ]
Hmm... This is something I need to pay attention to. Thank you for reminding the system.
Just as the two were on their way back to the town of Uxhall, Xiao Muzi took the initiative and asked: "Uncle, please tell me the military details in the town."
"It's so ugly to call me uncle. Everyone calls me Baron or Russell."
"I insist on calling you uncle, please let me know."
"You stubborn kid... Well, let me tell you this! Except for the two siege equipment catapults left in my town, there are no other soldiers."
Xiao Muzi couldn't believe her ears. She asked: "You don't have a single soldier! What about your financial situation?"
"We have a lot of money, and there are more than 100,000 gold dinars! Actually, about the soldiers..." The baron was about to tell in detail, but was interrupted.
"Okay, uncle, you don't need to say any more. I will help you solve the problem of soldiers and exclusive private troops. Then you just don't have to worry about money."
"No problem, I'll leave it all to you."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll mess around?"
"I trust you."
"Uh-huh, okay~"
The baron replied like this, but he actually thought like this: If labor and management didn't know about your "Tactics 8", they wouldn't be able to rest assured in this life...
After all, in Russell's perception, Xiao Muzi is a bad boy who likes to sleep in and is angry when getting up... maybe he also has a lot of greedy shortcomings such as a soft spot for grapes.
Due to the extremely fast speed of the red-blooded horse, it didn't take the two of them much time to successfully return to the town of Uxhall.
When the guard who was arrogant earlier saw his master coming back, he went up to greet him: "Good morning, my distinguished master."
The Baron remembered that he was very talkative and didn't chat much with him. He just nodded and hurried inside.
Unexpectedly, when the guard saw his master walking away, he whispered again: There has been no enemy attack since he left. Now that he is back, messy things will definitely happen one after another! Maybe there will be a war soon...
When the baron returned to the lord's hall again, and planned to have a good sleep, the moment he opened the door, he was stunned.
Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest came, and the Queen Luo Nier had been waiting here for a long time.
"This is really unexpected. You came back from a secret mission? Why did you come back to me..."
"I miss you, can't I come to see you? Why do you feel guilty?"
"I don't feel guilty at all." As he replied, the baron wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Hey, you have been running around outside for so long, you must have heard about the red flash, right?"
"I heard... bah bah bah, I didn't hear about it. What is the red flash?"
Seeing that he was still arrogant, Queen Luo Nier didn't argue too much and said straightforwardly:
"Okay, Baron! Stop pretending, I know it's you who's causing the trouble! Hand over 50,000 dinars and accompany me to a place, and the matter will be settled."
"Damn it, when you redeemed Nayan Tulu, I asked you for 5,000, and now you have doubled it ten times! It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable, you!"
"I didn't mention Yan Tulu, why did you mention him? Huh?" At this time, the smoking queen Roniel looked at the baron with a wicked smile.
[System prompt: Hahahaha, it’s really my kid who is smart, Baron, it’s like playing chess, you are defeated by a general, a general!]
The baron was speechless and had no choice but to admit defeat: "But... the punishment is too much!"
"Not much. This matter has caused a declaration of war between us and the Kingdom of Nord, so the place you have to accompany me is the central capital of the Kingdom of Nord. We are going for friendly diplomacy."
Russell seemed to understand the cause and effect, and replied: "You mean, these 50,000 dinars are a goodwill fee for the Kingdom of Nord, right?"
"Yes, let's set off now. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Even if we set off today, it will be delayed."
"I just came back from killing Nayan Tulu, and then I went to solve the problem at the Magic Academy and then came back. Now I'm not feeling hot and I want to go out again?"
Anyway, the matter was already known to everyone, and Russell did not hide it and directly revealed the information about his murder.
"Okay, I'm a very reasonable person. I'll give you 3 minutes to wash up before we leave."
"Don't talk like your sister, you are really ruthlessly exploitative capitalists..." The baron was a little dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to do it. After all, he was the one who caused the trouble first.
So, after simply washing up and enjoying some food, the Baron fulfilled his previous promise and rewarded Red Blood with honey, water and other items, and then set off again...
Of course, before departure, the baron also introduced Xiao Muzi to Safiya and others. He hoped that they could get along harmoniously.
Going to the Kingdom of Nord requires trekking through mountains and rivers. The baron didn't want Xiaomuzi to suffer such hard work. Although he knew it would be helpful to take her with him, he still left her in the town.
[System prompt: After deducting diplomatic expenses and recent food and reward expenses, you have a total of 81,000 dinars left.]
On the way, Drasel asked Toutiao: "Do you know where the central capital of the Nord Kingdom is?"
"I don't know them. I only know that their leader is King Gena, but we know the brave Arthur, let's go find him first~"
The baron slapped his head and replied:
"Yes, I haven't contacted him for a long time. I almost forgot that I still have this good brother. I don't know how the fat blond man's life has been lately."
