One hundred and twentieth chapters each with their own minds
Chapter 123 Everyone has their own thoughts
"Lucy, what is our Lord Tony doing?" Lord Viscount Francis enjoyed the gentle service of the beautiful magician maid. He put his hands under the maid's clothes and took a sip of the beautiful magician's cherry sip.
After drinking wine, I mentioned it as if I remembered something.
"In order to save his beautiful butler in Stormwind City, Lord Tony has transferred the ownership of the quarry to Viscount Adrian, the Lord of Stormwind City." The beautiful magician Lucy picked up a fruit, carefully peeled off the skin, and sent it to
When it came to the Viscount's mouth, Francis allowed his hands to take advantage of him, but he answered naturally.
"He gave away his interests so easily?" Francis obviously didn't expect that Meng Han would handle it like this, and couldn't help but frowned: "Isn't this too stupid? Do we have to start again?
Are you considering a cooperation plan with him?"
"Will you give up your property for me?" Magician Lucy's bright eyes flexibly turned and immediately asked a question like this: "For example, the bathroom property in your hand?"
"What do you think? Beauty!" Although Francis is a playboy, he is a master at guessing the thoughts of beautiful women. Lucy the magician asked this question, obviously because she was interested in Meng Han being able to give up his property and save her.
I appreciate beauty more. However, as a family heir, he must have an absolute choice between beauty and industry. Therefore, Francis couldn't answer directly, but he went around in a circle. At the same time, he also used his hands more
With all his strength, he hugged the beautiful magician tightly, and then sealed her lips with a fierce kiss.
Soon, the beautiful magician was lost in Francis's long kiss, and she no longer had the shrewdness before. It seemed that Francis's answer was automatically understood by her as: "Of course!" The beauty who gained psychological satisfaction immediately fell into trouble.
In Francis's more crazy tenderness, he no longer considers anything else.
"Father, what do you think about the incident in Huangsha Town?" When he was alone with the Marquis, Francis finally got rid of the entanglement of the beautiful magician's maid and began to discuss it with his father seriously.
"He has no ability to protect himself." In one sentence, the Marquis stated the biggest problem Meng Han was facing now. Then, the Marquis added: "He is not a person who does big things. For a mere woman,
, he will abandon the basis of cooperation with us, such a person is not worthy of paying more attention to him."
"However, the Magic Academy and His Majesty the King still value him very much." Francis once again mentioned the reason from the last time: "He can also instantaneously cast three different magic shields."
"Do you value him?" The Marquis sneered slightly: "So, in this incident, do you think, whether it is the Magic Academy or His Majesty the King, where did they show that they value him? Or
Or do you think the Magic Academy doesn’t know about this? His Majesty the King doesn’t know about these things happening in his territory?”
"This!" Francis thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that his father was right. According to the performance of the Magic Academy and His Majesty the King, if they really value Meng Han, they will never do nothing and watch.
Something like that happened. After thinking about it for a long time, Francis still couldn't understand why they paid so much attention to Meng Han before. He couldn't help but frowned and asked: "But, father, before..."
"Before was before." The Marquis seemed to know what his son was thinking. He was very pleased that Francis brought back such a huge industry after his trip to Huangsha Town. And because of this industry, even the always-dandy
Francis also knew that instead of working hard on women, he should seriously consider various things. This kind of change is what the Marquis wants to see more. From this point of view, the Marquis is even very grateful to Huang Sha, who he has never met.
Lord Antonio of the town.
However, this does not mean that the Marquis will use his own power to fight for Meng Han. This world is very realistic. Even if you have wealth, you must have the strength to maintain it, otherwise the so-called wealth is nothing but a mirror. Meng
It was because John didn't understand this that he ended up where he is today. However, his experience was the best experience and lesson for his son.
"It's now!" The Marquis continued his words, while Francis listened quietly.
"I sent someone to the Magic Academy to learn about it." The Marquis saw that Francis listened to his teachings so carefully, and was very satisfied: "That Baron Antonio just knows how to make a so-called scroll base that can improve the success rate of scroll making.
He can't even create the simplest magic scroll. Moreover, the basic level of these so-called scrolls is still very low and can only be used for first-level and second-level magic."
"Don't the Academy of Magic want to learn these things?" Francis seemed to understand somewhat after listening to his father's instructions. But he didn't quite understand and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes! Of course they want it!" The somewhat contemptuous smile appeared on the face of the Marquis again: "But these are just Antonio's talents in magic. He can never become a magician, he can only create these
The simplest scroll base. Even if others want to learn it, they can't learn it."
"In this case, Antonio should be useful to them, why don't they help him?" Francis still didn't fully understand, and continued to ask humbly.
"Supporting him? What are the benefits? Why wait until he has nothing and no other options before recruiting him, letting him directly become a member of the Magic Academy, and making scroll bases for them day and night?" The Marquis smiled happily.
Looking at Francis, he asked: "A lord who is not under his control, or a staff member of the college, if it were you, which one would you choose?"
"I chose him to be a staff member." Francis replied without hesitation.
"The people at the Magic Academy think so too," the Marquis said to Francis with a smile.
"Then the reason why His Majesty values him is also because of the Magic Academy?" Francis finally understood and immediately thought of another key.
"Of course, increasing the success rate of making magic scrolls means that our principality's magic scroll reserves will increase and its combat effectiveness will increase. Of course His Majesty the King likes it." The Marquis simply stated all the considerations of the upper management at once: "But, he
After all, he is a noble. Even His Majesty the King cannot deprive him of his territory like this. Even if he has not yet shown this trait, he must give him a Yellow Sand Town. But now that the conflict between him and the Lord of Stormwind City has escalated, then
, as long as everyone sees him being devoured by the Lord of Stormwind City and losing everything, and then extending a helping hand, he will shed tears of gratitude, and then work for the principality wholeheartedly."
"So everyone was watching their friction, but no one was watching and didn't take action." Francis wisely accepted the following analysis: "Anyway, as long as he is spared his life when he is most dangerous, the principality will disappear out of thin air.
Got a useful man. I see, Father."
The Marquis listened to Francis' subsequent analysis and nodded with a smile.
"But, what about his relationship with the elves?" Francis remembered something more. At the beginning, these were all the advantages he considered for cooperating with Meng Han, but now they have all become Meng Han's weaknesses.
It was defeated in one attack, leaving only the last relationship with the elves.
"Have you ever seen the elves really take action to help him?" the Marquis asked back, and Francis was immediately speechless. The news from Butler Donald was that indeed he had never seen the elves take action.
It's no wonder that all the contacts between Meng Han and the elves were in the elf forest. How could the big shots of the elves tolerate irrelevant people appearing around during the contact? That is to say, Donald did not send anyone to follow him, otherwise he would
The manpower has long since been wiped out. However, in this way, all the transactions between Meng Han and the elves are kept secret, and no one knows about it.
"I know what to do." Francis nodded, stood up, and left the Marquis's study.
Compared with the far-sighted and foresighted side of the Marquis, the situation on the side of Stormwind City Lord Adrian is completely different. At this moment, Viscount Adrian was anxiously walking back and forth in his room.
.
A new attendant walked in. As soon as Adrian saw his figure, he immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously: "How is it? Have you found him?"
"No, sir!" the attendant reported quickly: "I searched all the way along their route, but there was no trace of the large group of people. The lord of Huangsha Town has returned to Huangsha Town, still taking his
There were many people there, no one was missing. When we first returned, it seemed that there were traces of battle on their bodies, and there was a lot of blood."
Although Jacob's attack plan was told to Adrian, it did not include detailed plans such as when and where to attack Meng Han and his party, and how to deal with the attack after the attack. Adrian's security department knew nothing about it. It doesn't matter if they don't know, but
, now even the whereabouts of Jacob and the five hundred soldiers are not known, this is a fatal thing.
The traces buried by Meng Han and others after their battle were quickly covered up by the wind and sand, and no trace could be found. As a result, the people sent by Adrian have yet to find their whereabouts. No one has been found alive, and no corpses have been found dead.
"Keep looking!" Viscount Adrian didn't feel the pleasure of grabbing a gold mine at all. He only felt a chill coming to his heart. If Jacob and the others couldn't find it because of Meng Han and his guards,
Then Adrian can completely imagine how terrifying an army that can wipe out five hundred people without any damage, plus his own squire Jacob, would be.
Now Adrian is a little regretful, how could he offend such a person because of greed. However, the matter has reached this point, and there is no turning back. Even if he wants to go back on his word, it is no longer possible. After a few days of fear,
God, I thought everything was calm, but the city guard reported that there were more mercenaries around Stormwind City.
These mercenaries are very strange. They don't enter the city, but just wander around outside the city. Once an army comes to check, they disappear immediately. But as soon as the army leaves, they start to gather again. Moreover, these people are very irregular. After two days, they have already
I heard that there have been at least three attacks against the residents of Stormwind City, all of which were encountered after they left the city.
These people don't kill people, they just hurt people, and they seem to be fine as long as they don't leave the city. This makes Adrian wary. Are they really targeting Stormwind City?
Two days later, Adrian finally received a report from his attendants. They found the corpses of the city guards at a perfect location for the attack. Five hundred people plus the corpse of the attendant Jacob, there were not many of them.
They are all there. Although some time has passed, the identities of the people can still be identified from the corpses. However, it can only be simply determined that these people were killed by swords and bows, and the specific wounds cannot be explored.
All five hundred people died silently, and Adrian already felt chills all over his body. The news he got from the spies in Huangsha Town was that there was not a single person missing from the Huangsha Town guards, and there were not even any injured people.
.
"Get Master Austin back, right away!" Adrian's first reaction when he got the news was to shout directly at his trusted attendant.
It wasn't until he saw the figure of Great Swordsman Austin that Sir Adrian's heart fell back into his stomach. At the same time, he also had a candidate who could be discussed.
"How can we take over this quarry?" With safety guaranteed, the city lord immediately thought of the gold mine.
"Relying on our own manpower will probably be very troublesome." After understanding all this, Austin Great Swordsman seemed to have guessed something and said lightly.
"Then what should we do?" Finally, we found a backbone we could rely on. How could the Lord of the City let him go? He asked eagerly.
"Our strength is not yet to the point where we can swallow such a huge benefit on our own." Austin obviously has an unusual relationship with the city lord. When he said these words, Viscount Adrian had no objection.
"What do you mean?" Adrian looked at Austin doubtfully and asked tentatively: "Cooperation?"
Austin nodded and said nothing.
"With whom?" Adrian seemed to understand his situation and immediately asked as if grasping at a life-saving straw.
"Any big force." Austin shrugged noncommittally: "Or, what do you think of the Mercenary Guild?"
"Mercenary Guild?" Adrian seemed to have never thought about this and looked at Austin in confusion.
"Those people outside must be from underground guilds. Speaking of which, they and the mercenary guild should be considered mortal enemies." Austin smiled calmly: "I believe that with the cooperation of this quarry, the mercenary guild might be able to win in the storm."
Establish a branch in the city.”
Hearing Austin's words, Adrian's eyes also lit up.
