Chapter 338 Research Completed
Even commoners, let alone nobles, could not accept such a naked insult. Fassington was so angry that he almost fainted without breathing. If he doesn't agree to do so, then the Ronoir family can be removed from the nobility circle in the future. You must know that most nobles value reputation more than life, so there must be no intention of backing down at such times.
"Good! Very good! Very good! On behalf of the Ronoir family, I agree to a private fight. Edrian, you can also see, this is beyond the bottom line of any nobleman's patience, and it can already be called humiliation. ”
"Humph! Even if it is humiliated! Two greedy scum, don't think I don't know what business the Ronors are doing behind their backs. To be on the safe side, Naria once again hit the other party's bottom line. She didn't care about the decency of the nobility, otherwise she wouldn't be running around outside all year round.
Aderien sighed slightly, knowing that there was no way to do this today. He raised his hands, palms facing up, and said to the two parties, "Since you insist on a private fight, then please perform this sacred ritual here." ”
Without hesitation, Naria pulled out a knife and slitted her wrist, dripping blood into her palm. Fashington similarly slit his own wrist, dripping blood onto the palm of his other hand. Aderian rubbed the blood from his hands together, and then made a bloody streak on the faces of the two of them. Finally, he shouted to all the spectators: "Everyone! You will all be witnesses to this fight! On behalf of Parliament, I now declare that the de Anies and Ronoirs are officially in a state of war. ”
"Oh my God! This barbaric thing has actually happened again. ”
"May Lady Luck bless Miss Naria safely."
"Isaiah is so pitiful that he was divorced."
All the people below began to whisper. All sorts of strange arguments are coming up. The situation is getting more and more out of control. Aderien didn't want to stay here any longer. After he said goodbye to the two parties. He hurried towards the administrative district. You must know that the private fight between the two families is not a trivial matter, and you must quickly notify the council to prepare accordingly.
Half an hour later, almost all the people who came to the funeral were almost gone. Before leaving, Fashington left a sentence and told Naria to go back and prepare quickly, he would lead the elite of the Ronorr family to D'Anisberg in seven days.
Seeing that it was done, a sarcastic smile appeared on Naria's face. She couldn't wait to see the Ronorr family ruined, especially when the father and son duo of Fashington and Isaiah discovered that their opponent was a legendary spellcaster and that they had two dragons under them. The expression is sure to be wonderful.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Henry, who was far away in Deanisburg, didn't know about the recent changes in Aslatla, and even if he did, he didn't have time to pay attention to it. He had now devoted himself to exploring the negative energy plane, and he didn't even notice that his injured foot had fully healed. Although he had promised Naria not to carry out the practice in the castle, this did not mean that he would give up, on the contrary, he moved into the hunting lodge not too far away, and began to study frantically without sleep.
In the space of a few days, Henry discovered hundreds of planes, both known and undocumented. He wrote down the coordinates one by one. Just in case. After all, these things cost a lot of gold coins to obtain, and they must not be wasted.
Hard work pays off. Just as Naria and Sheena were about to return, Henry finally found a plane filled with the purest negative energy. He tried to explore, and found that there was no sign of life at all. The vast expanse of the land was silent, except for a large number of twisted plants growing slowly. You don't have to think about it to know that he must have been the first to discover this place, otherwise this place would have been full of all kinds of undead creatures.
Henry was very careful to put his personal stamp on the plane and then hide it. This is a rare treasure for any mage. The pure negative energy plane can be used to cultivate a large number of undead creatures, especially the vampire girls under his command, as long as they stay in it for a while, they can quickly gain a massive boost.
Now that the most important step has been completed, the legendary magic of the "Collapse Singularity" has been successfully developed. Since he already had a ready-made spherical magic black hole, he didn't need to run to the half-plane to make Zuò for the time being, so he saved a lot of time. The system now knows that the Legendary Magic item is marked with the "Collapse Singularity", and he can release this legendary magic whenever he wants. Of course, this also comes at a cost, and each use requires the consumption of more than 40,000 experience points.
Henry hadn't had time to rejoice for a few minutes, and was quickly taken aback by the consumption that had come these days. The scrolls, gems, and magic materials worth more than 900,000 gold coins were consumed, and if it dragged on for two days, it might not be able to continue. It seems that the study of legendary magic is not only a huge project that is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also a test of financial resources.
Originally, he wanted to continue to develop his own unique legendary magic technique, but the half-empty dimensional bag made him have to dispel this idea. It costs so much to complete a legendary spell according to someone else's record, and if you dive into it unprepared, I'm afraid you won't be able to research anything if you spend it all.
After much consideration, Henry decided to halt the development of the legendary spell for the time being, returning to the castle to await news of the war. Walking on the country road, he could see many busy farmers walking in the direction of the river with tools. The men had been improvised by the steward Ernest to build the embankment, and at the same time dug several irrigation canals, and it seemed that in two to three days the whole work would be completed. Everyone knew that these projects were related to the future grain harvest, so they worked very hard.
In fact, according to Henry's idea, the dirt road here should also be rebuilt. However, considering that this is in Am, it is best not to be too ostentatious, otherwise it will easily cause the rejection of the surrounding diehards. You know, he's here to loot...... No, it should be called armed transport, so there is no need to have too many conflicts with local forces.
Suddenly, several cavalrymen galloped in the distance, led by the official guard captain Sennick. He recognized the lord to whom he was loyal at a glance, and hurriedly slowed down while shouting, "My lord! Miss Naria is back. But she's brought back the not-so-good news that we're about to go to war with the Ronores. ”
"Hahahahaha! That's great news, Sennick. I've been waiting for days to finally get started. Henry laughed, and his eyes lit up.
The Ronors relied on nothing more than five hundred soldiers with warrior ranks, plus maybe two or three mages and priests. Perhaps this is an invincible enemy for most people, but it's simply not enough to look at in front of legendary spellcasters. If it weren't for the sake of showing his strength, he wouldn't have taken action himself, as long as he sent two giant dragons up to spray dragon breath, it wouldn't be long before he could kill them all.
"Do you mean...... Did Miss Naria do this? Sennick asked as he rolled off his horse with a look of horror. As someone who has always lived in Esmirtaran, he is well aware of the power of the Ronorr family. If it weren't for the land of the Deanis family's patrons, I'm afraid that all north of the Esmere River would be their sphere of influence.
Seeing his captain's nervous look, Henry smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "There's nothing to worry about, do you think they're going to be tougher than a coalition of trolls and snake-men and other monsters? This time, I want to provoke the Ronoor family and completely eradicate these scum from this world. ”
"Yes...... But we now have less than 160 soldiers, and most of them are newly recruited, so they don't have much combat effectiveness at all. My lord, I don't think the odds are ......" Sennick tried to tactfully state his difficulties. After all, he has only been in office for a long time, and it is simply impossible to train a strong army.
"Rest assured, I don't plan on sending the newly created guards into battle, because that would be murder."
As long as Henry is not crazy, he will not let these rabbles rush to his death. With the current mercenaries in the castle, it may be okay to kill robbers, kobolds, goblins or something, but against an elite army that is fully armed and has the cooperation of spellcasters, I am afraid that it will not take a few minutes to break out of the whole line.
Sennick was relieved to hear that the guards would not be recruited for battle. However, he immediately asked curiously: "Could it be that you have secretly hired a group of mercenaries in other places?" ”
The corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be a smile rather than a smile, and then he stretched out a finger and shook it. "No, no. It is enough to have me to deal with the Ronore family, and there is no need for any army at all. And this is not a private fight of the aristocracy, just a pre-planned, naked massacre. Their death was sealed from the moment they entered a state of war, and no one could escape. ”
Sennick immediately shuddered when he heard this. He suddenly remembered one thing, the monster entrenched in Deanisberg seemed to have been killed by the man in front of him. Judging from the number of corpses that were cleaned up, there were at least a hundred mountain trolls and soul trolls, in addition to a large number of snake people and some giant earth monsters.
If the combat power of these monsters is converted into human soldiers, I am afraid that there will be at least more than two thousand people, and they will also be equipped with a certain number of magic weapons. It seems that the Ronorr family is in big trouble this time, and maybe they are really going to face a catastrophe.
