Chapter 638: Baron Lancaster's Castle
Late at night.
Baron Lancaster's Castle.
The Baron Lancaster Castle is located in the Moorish Union, southwest of Florence, and as the name suggests, it is the castle of the Barons of Lancaster.
Baron Lancaster, a hereditary nobleman, the title was passed down from his grandfather's generation, first to his father and then to him.
But the title was passed down, but the wealth was lost in his father's generation.
Baron Lancaster's father, the previous generation of Baron Lancaster, has been thinking about how to enjoy it since he inherited the title. Every month, a grand banquet is held, and every year the territory is patrolled, and young girls are forcibly married into the castle, and then they have fun in black and white.
In this way, the forty-year-old Baron Lancaster, after three full days of fun in bed, passed away with a smile on his face, and was succeeded by the twenty-five-year-old Baron Lancaster.
The young Baron Lancaster, after succeeding him, looked down on his father very much, and wanted to do something big to restore the family's prestige. But the wealth he had accumulated from his grandfather's generation had been lost, and he was not able to carry out his ambitions, even if they were ambitious. You can only save money, re-accumulate wealth, and wait until you have accumulated enough before making plans.
For this reason, he is twenty-five years old, and he has not married a noble lady, because he is afraid that the noble lady he won will spend money indiscriminately. Nor has he plundered any of the girls in the territory, after all, girls also spend money. At most, it was just a reluctance to accept a large number of women of different ages left behind by their father.
In his opinion, if he could save up more than ten years of thrift, he would almost be able to fill the chest of silver coins. When the time comes, he will be able to have an elite army and expand his territory like crazy.
Who knows, less than a year after the implementation of his plan, just a few days ago, when his chest of silver coins had just been covered with a bottom, a group of gray-robed men wearing raven patterns suddenly arrived at his castle.
The other party showed him the trick very politely, and with a wave of his hand, he crushed the door of his castle with a wind blade, and with a wave of his hand, he corroded the long sword he was about to pull out with strong acid.
Then the other party politely asked him if he could borrow the castle for a while.
No matter how stupid Lancaster is, he knows that the other party is not showing tricks but spells, and his identity is not a juggler but a wizard. Without any hesitation, he agreed without being more fortunate than Rong Rong.
After that, the status of Baron Lancaster was demoted to the butler of Lancaster, not only was the main castle given up, but also bothered to be responsible for the food and various requirements of the wizards in Baal, and the silver coins that were finally saved were spent like a stream, so that Lancasta couldn't help but want to sell the woman inherited from his father for money.
"When is a day like this!" Lancaster sighed in the middle of the night, as he heard footsteps behind him.
Turning his head, it was a plump woman, who was the favorite of the former Baron Lancaster, but it was not the type he liked, and coupled with the nervousness, he had been demoted to a maid.
Glancing at the other party, Baron Lancaster asked aloud, "What's the matter?"
"Yes...... It was the wizards of the main fort who said......" the plump woman whispered, "that there is not enough lamp oil, let me get some from the warehouse." ”
"Then go get it, do you still have to talk to me about this kind of trivial matter, annoying!"
"But...... But...... The lamp oil in the warehouse has run out. ”
"Well, how is it possible to run out? Last month, didn't I let people just buy it?"
"Lord Baron, you forgot, when you wanted to buy it last month, the price of lamp oil went up, so you just let you wait and see, just ...... Didn't buy it. ”
"That'...... So what to do? Tell the wizards directly...... Uh, wizards, there's no more oil, let them use their own spells to illuminate?"
"I ...... I remember Lord Baron, you seem to have half a jar of lamp oil in your room, and if you take it all out, it might be enough for the wizards. If it's dawn, go on horseback and buy it, and you should be fine. The woman cautiously suggested.
"Then I won't light the lamp this night, the candle ran out two days ago, and now I don't have any lamp oil, so you might as well kill me!" Baron Lancaster was furious, his expression vicious, and suddenly he saw a wizard coming out of the clearing next to the side fort. One was older, dressed in white, followed by two young wizards, one male and one female. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but the young male wizard who followed behind glanced at him.
"Gah-"
Baron Lancaster's face changed suddenly, and he turned his head to look at the woman sharply, and reprimanded: "Didn't you hear what I said, what are you doing in a daze! What does it matter if I don't light the lamp, the important thing is to meet the needs of the wizards, and quickly send the lamp oil in my room to the wizards." By the way, I also have oil in my oil lamp, all of which are ...... Pour it out and send it in one piece. Hurry up, what are you doing in a daze!"
The woman looked at Baron Lancaster with wide eyes, and it took a long time to react, and she quickly turned around to do it.
Lancaster quietly turned around, glanced at the wizards who came out, saw the other party walking away, listened to the faint voices of "exchange meeting", "attention", "teacher Macbeth" and other voices, reached out and wiped the sweat on his face, and said in a low voice: "I shouldn't have heard it just now, well, I must have heard it, it's dangerous, it's dangerous......"
......
Macbeth, Gro, and Nancy talked.
Macbeth spoke up and said to Groh and Nancy: "You should have heard what Wizard Mayphyllis said just now, and in a few days, we will follow the rest of the wizards to attack the Deep Blue Castle along the route." ”
"Will it work, teacher?" asked Nancy, her expression solemn.
"What about this...... Macbeth shrugged, "Seriously, I don't know. The last exchange meeting in the Deep Blue Castle was a lesson, I thought everything was going well, who knew that something like that would happen?
However, since the Deep Blue Castle Exchange Conference, I have always been uneasy. On the one hand, he was injured, and on the other hand, he felt that the Deep Blue Castle seemed to be intent on promoting this revenge war, just like the previous exchange conference. ”
"Then why are we still participating?" said Gro, puzzled.
"There's no way, we can only participate. Macbeth said, "Just like before, we had to attend the Deep Blue Castle Exchange Conference.
You've all been through the destruction of White Rock City, and as long as we don't want to go through it a second time, we must stop the forces that caused it. This force is in collusion with the Deep Blue Castle and is waiting in front of us now. Either we take the initiative to get closer, or we just wait for the other person to come closer. It's a conspiracy on the table, a clear trap that we can't get around. ”
"Ahem!"
Macbeth coughed lightly, his face turned a large dead gray, and it took a long time to dissipate, he looked at Gro and Nancy and continued: "No matter what, no matter what awaits ahead, we in the Whitestone Tower can only give it a try now.
At best, we might be able to rebuild the White Stone Tower after destroying the Blue Keep, but at worst, not to the rest of the story. You two work hard, try to grow more in battle, if you can find a chance to break through to the wizard. ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Macbeth, I have a lot of confidence to break through to become a wizard!" Nancy said seriously.
Macbeth laughed, looked at Nancy and said, "I believe in you." I've been optimistic about you since a long time ago, when I was on the giant ship. In terms of your qualifications, wizarding is not a problem at all, and a first-level wizard is far from your limit. Your achievements will be higher than mine, and you will become a second-level wizard, or even a third-level wizard.
Actually, did you know that with your excellence, the White Rock Tower can't give you the best environment, and even the rest of the wizarding organizations on the East Coast may not be able to give you the right environment. You should go further afield, to the other side of the Thousands of Mountains, to the Main Continent. There, you can grow faster and become a wizard in less time. Of course, you can't go now. Let's wait until this war is over. ”
"What about me?" Gro on the side squeezed in front of Macbeth, asking a little unwillingly, and also wanted to hear a few compliments.
As a result, Macbeth looked at him for a long time, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You, Gro, are actually not bad." Although the qualifications are not very good, at least the character is very strong. So if you fail to break through in this war, don't be discouraged, try a few more times, and you will always succeed. Well, come on. ”
Gro: "......"
