Chapter 94: The Purpose of the Black Robe Wizards Association
"Ah, Clement, you're awake!"
Looking at Clemont with his eyes open, Mandy flapped her little wings excitedly.
"Well...sleep so comfortable!"
I saw that I was still in a luxury cabin.
Clemont sat up and stretched, then looked at the dim sky outside the window and asked: "Dylan, what time is it now? How far is it from Sacker City?"
But it wasn't Dylan who answered his question.
"Lord Baron, it's just past six o'clock, and we still have half an hour to get to Sacker City!"
Clemont turned around and saw the person in charge standing respectfully at the door with a flattering look on his face.
"Um, didn't you say it would take up to five hours to arrive? The cold wind birds didn't take long, right?"
Clemont frowned.
"Lord Baron, it's like this. It should have taken five hours to arrive, but because Arachne was still affected, we rested for an hour in a big city along the way while you were asleep.
"
After hearing the explanation from the person in charge, Clemont nodded.
At this moment, the person in charge took out a pure gold badge from his pocket, looked at Clemont with excitement and said:
"Lord Baron, thanks to you this time, one hundred and twenty-three people, including our crew, were able to survive.
In order to express my gratitude, on behalf of the Dominica Flight Station, I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks to you. Although this Arachne badge is not worth a few dollars, as long as you take it with you, you will enjoy the highest quality on all Arachne rides in the future.
First class service.”
He stood up and took the pure gold badge from the person in charge. Looking at the vivid Arachne pattern on it, Clemont smiled and nodded.
Lifetime membership of the flight station! That’s not bad!
However, the person in charge took out another card and handed it over. Clemont was a little surprised when he saw the appearance of the card.
"Lord Baron, here are 20,000 gold coins! Please accept it!"
"Um, what are you doing? As a baron of the empire, these are what I should do, you don't have to do this!"
"No, Lord Baron, this accident is ultimately our negligence. Without you, our losses cannot be compensated by just 20,000 gold coins..."
After going back and forth, the card finally fell into Clemont's pocket.
Looking at the person in charge in front of him, Clement suddenly felt cordial.
"Okay, then I'll accept it. It just so happens that I also have a business here that I want to talk to you about!"
With that said, Clemont sat at the table next to him and motioned for the person in charge to sit down as well.
Half an hour later, with Arachne's cry, the brightly lit city of Sakr appeared in front of us.
In the cabin, the person in charge stood up, pondered for a moment and then said: "Baron, although our Dominican flight station has no precedent of setting up a sub-station in the barony, your proposal is very tempting. If His Highness Delia can
If you say something about this, then there will be no problem in setting up a sub-station in your territory!"
Clemont also stood up with a smile: "Hahaha, Moulton, don't worry about this, I will communicate with His Highness Delia, so I wish us a happy cooperation!"
“A pleasure to work with!”
As the conversation between the two ended, Arachne also landed at the Sakr City Flight Station. However, in comparison, the Sakr City Flight Station was much smaller, with only three landing platforms.
"Is everything packed?"
Looking at Dylan coming down from the second floor carrying a cloth bag, Clemont asked.
"Lord, everything is packed. In addition to the magic core, this Cold Wind Bird King also has a lot of useful magic materials. I have packed them all, but I found a problem!"
Dylan frowned as he spoke.
At this time, Arachne also stopped under her feet.
"Let's go! Don't walk and talk!"
The problem Dylan discovered should be the same as his own. The attack by the cold wind birds is most likely not a natural occurrence.
…
An hour later, Clermont returned to Sacher Castle in a dusty state.
Since he did not inform his father before returning, Enoch was shocked by his son's sudden return.
"Ahem, that means you no longer need to go to the Royal Knights Academy?"
Enoch coughed twice, with a hint of disbelief on his pale face.
"Yes father!"
Looking at Enoch, whose expression was even worse than before, Clemont felt a little heavy.
It seems that Enoch's situation is worse than he said.
"Hahaha, good! After all, he is my Enoch's son!"
Seeing Clemont nodding solemnly, Enoch burst out laughing, his laughter seemed to be filled with endless joy and comfort.
His life can be said to be unfortunate or lucky.
Before he was twenty years old, he was undoubtedly lucky. His family was the most powerful inherited aristocracy at that time. His father was a powerful marquis, and he was also the son of a talented marquis.
But after he turned twenty, his family gradually declined due to a war he could not lose. His father committed suicide and the family dispersed. This was undoubtedly a blow to him.
Since then, he has embarked on a road to revitalize his family, but in the process, he lost his beautiful and virtuous wife, his health has also deteriorated, and even his children have become criminals who cannot awaken their fighting spirit.
It was as if the gods were playing a joke on him.
But now, this son, who he had high hopes for but gradually turned into despair, finally shines with brilliance. How can this make him unhappy?
"Beavis, what are you doing standing still? Go and prepare dinner!"
After giving instructions to Beavis behind him, Enoch asked again about what Clement had seen in the imperial capital.
"The Black Robe Wizards' Guild? Why are there these guys in Santa Cruz?"
After listening to Clemont's narration, Enoch frowned, but his eyes were still on Clemont.
"You're not hurt, are you?"
Looking at his father's concerned eyes, Clemont smiled and shook his head.
"I'm fine. Magician Celine was also there at the time. It was she who fought off the monsters!"
Hearing this, Enoch felt relieved.
However, Clemont heard the information contained in Enoch's words.
"Father, is it possible that there are traces of the Black-robed Wizards' Guild in the Sacher Territory?"
Enoch nodded and said with a heavy face:
"Well, yes, just two months ago, Baron Odison was attacked by the Black Robe Wizards. Baron Odison died and his castle was looted! And those members of the Black Robe Wizards seemed to appear out of thin air.
It’s like disappearing and never appearing again!”
Listening to Enoch's words, Clemont remembered what His Highness Dria once said. It seems that these black-robed wizards really want to cause trouble within the Ota Empire!
Moreover, the current time is exactly during the confrontation between the two countries, and all actions of the Black Robe Wizards can be blamed on the Kingdom of Kaya.
If Clemont hadn't been a victim of this incident, he would have truly believed that the man behind the Black Robe Wizards' Association was the Kingdom of Kaya.
However, these are not things he should consider, and he has no ability to stop them. What he has to do now is to develop his territory well and strive to have the strength to protect himself before war breaks out.
The Ota Empire, the Kingdom of Kaya, the goblins, the natives of the Ozul Mountains... an invisible big hand is slowly tightening its grip.
