Chapter Seventy-Four: The Ring
"My lord, these are the mages who are going to join the ring. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
The next day, while Reich was enjoying breakfast in the Great Hall of Lords, Luau walked in with five mages, four in white robes and only one in black robes.
Seeing these mages looking at Leqi with their inspecting eyes, Niu Yi couldn't help but glare at them fiercely: "Don't you even know the etiquette that should be expected when meeting a noble baron?!"
"I've seen the Baron!"
Hearing this, the four white-robed mages hurriedly saluted Lei Qi respectfully, but the black-robed mage just arched his hand casually, and his conceited and arrogant appearance had already made several minotaurs roll up their sleeves in anger.
Seeing this, Lei Qi just smiled, he pressed Niu Yi, who wanted to stand up, and a powerful magic wave burst out from him. The faces of several white-robed mages who were shrouded in Leqi's magic fluctuations turned pale, and under that terrifying aura, they felt like a small boat on the surging Yangtze River! Even the conceited black-robed mage, in the face of Leqi's vast magic fluctuations, he found that he was completely suppressed by the other party, which simply made him horrified.
"See, I've seen the Baron!" Unable to restrain the fear in his heart and the tremendous pressure on his body, the black-robed mage was about to kneel in front of Leqi, and Leqi silently restrained his breath.
"No need to be polite," said politely, and Leitch looked directly at the few people meaningfully and smiled, "In a few days, I'm sure you'll be glad you made your choice." β
"Dare to ask Lord Baron, what exactly is the magic ring?" The one who asked the black-robed mage had seen Leqi's terrifying strength, especially after knowing that the other party was still a battle mage, his previous arrogance had already been consumed.
"At least it is a tower, and at worst it is a shelter that I have provided for you. β
"You, the shelter you provided?" Seeing that Niu Yi and the others were already glaring at him dissatisfied, the black-robed mage hurriedly changed his words: "My lord, I'm not questioning your ability - but you also know that it is the Ten Kings Killing Order******
"After all, it's not that you're afraid of death?" Niu Er looked at him with disdain across his arms, which made the black-robed mage's face turn red.
"I solemnly say again, fellow mages who want to join the Ring are innocent victims, so you must treat each other with courtesy!" Seeing Leitch's serious look, several minotaurs hurriedly responded "yes", Leitch nodded when he saw this, and added meaningfully, "But for those with bad intentions, kill them." β
Several mages were still a little proud at first, but then a faint word "kill" was a cold sweat that filled their minds when they heard it, and they felt that there was no joke in Leqi's words.
"I did propose the Ring, but I would also be protected by the Academy. Hearing Leitch say this, several mages finally breathed a sigh of relief, the shadow of death brought by the Ten Kings Killing Order really made them breathless.
Then Leqi continued, "Until the Ring Tower is officially built, you should live in the Black Wind City in peace - but you better remember one thing, don't use blood magic, or you won't be innocent." β
"Of course!"
******
The location of the Ring was on a low hill not far outside of Blackwind City. Regarding the location of the Ring, Leqi also considered it carefully - not that there was no more space in the Black Wind City, but that the Ring could not appear in the city. Although the Blood Mage is no longer in danger once he performs the Tranquility Ritual and becomes the Quiet One, ordinary people don't care about this, they will only remember that the ring is inhabited by a group of blood mages, so once the ring appears in Black Wind City, it will undoubtedly cause panic.
What's also worrying is that once the news of the establishment of the Ring spreads, it will definitely attract the attention of the Blood Monument Tower, and if the news of the Ring being attacked comes out in the future, Richy thinks he shouldn't be too surprised.
The Tower of the Ring was designed by Richie himself, and in his blueprints, the tower is divided into eight floors, but the upper seven floors are only one-third the diameter of the bottom layer, and if viewed from above, it looks like a wheel and an axle. In Ryche's plan, the bottom floor is the guard's dwelling, while the upper seven floors are where the Quiet move around and conduct research.
The material used to build the tower, Retch, intends to use all white hoarfrost stone, which is not only strong and beautiful, but also shows the holiness of the ring, suggesting the rebirth of the life of the quiet.
Although Leitch was the designer, he did not name the tower, and he planned to give this opportunity to go down in history to an iconic big man - such as Duke Thunderman, such as the chief ** master of the Frost Academy, or his teacher Prophet Roskov, only then will the reputation of the Ring become louder and more appealing and convincing.
However, to build such a tower, it must be expensive, so Leitch has no intention of paying for it himself. As for where the money comes from, the key lies in the two Dark Wind Knights who left the City of Dark Wind yesterday - Fern and Warren.
Fern and Warren are both on their way to Rayman, but they have very different missions - Fern is going to meet Duke Rayman with Leitch's letter of guilt and plan, and Warren is going to the Wingbird Chamber of Commerce to send magic letterhead to Roskov.
It is not difficult to understand that the plan is to explain to Duke Lei Man the plan to establish a law ring; what is the explanation of the letter of guilt? Don't forget, the order issued by Duke Lei Man is to kill the blood mage, and what Lei Qi is doing now is undoubtedly against the will of Duke Lei Man -- regardless of whether Lei Qi's behavior is fruitful or not, it is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous move for a courtier to disobey the king's order, and it is also easy to leave a handle for political opponents to attack.
Luau had asked what they would do if Duke Rayman did not agree to the plan. Leqi only smiled faintly at this: "Then there will definitely be an attack launched by the blood mages in Black Wind City, but under the hard work of the Black Wind Baron, these evil blood mages have been completely killed. β
Leich's indifferent appearance, Luau couldn't help but feel cold every time he thought about it, and it was then that he really understood that his baron, he had more than just kindness******
As for Warren, his mission was to borrow the magic equipment of the Winged Bird Chamber of Commerce to send magical letterhead to Roscoff on behalf of Reich.
Magic letterhead is the use of magic to achieve long-range text transmission, but the price is also high, it costs ten gold coins at a time, which is equivalent to a black iron-level weapon. But after all, Black Wind City is too far away from Tianfrost City, if you rely on manpower to deliver the news, I'm afraid that the academy's assistance has not yet arrived, and this matter has already been cold daylily.
Although Lei Qi had seen rumors about the Wind Sage in the library, Lei Qi didn't know how much the Heavenly Frost Academy knew about the Tranquility Ritual, so he could only pin his hopes on his teacher.
******
In the Three Sisters Hotel, several Black Wind Knights who suddenly walked in made the travelers on the road involuntarily stagger their bodies, and when several knights approached a mage who was eating, their faces showed a sudden look, after all, yesterday's two announcements had already spread in Black Wind City.
"Your Excellency, please show me your magic book. "Compared to the knights of Sands City, these knights of the Black Wind are undoubtedly polite and patient.
The black-robed mage glanced up at a few knights, but did not respond, but still ate his food unhurriedly. Seeing this, the Black Wind Knight continued: "I think you already know about the announcement posted yesterday, so I hope you don't embarrass us. β
"If I don't cooperate, are you planning to kill me?"
The voice of the black-robed mage was very hoarse, and the knight in charge even noticed a tremor in the other party's voice with his keen perception, so the knight in charge smiled lightly: "The order given to us by Lord Baron is to avoid bloodshed as much as possible, but if there is any situation that will endanger the safety of the people of Black Wind City, then we will draw the sword in our hands without hesitation!"
"Lord Baron's mercy!"
"Hats off to the Baron!"
******
The Knight's contagious words succeeded in impressing the travelers, who once again realized what a blessing it was to live in the City of Black Wind, and for a time the inn was filled with exaggerated versions of Ryche's lace legends and enthusiastic praises.
"Your Excellency, Black Wind City has been placed under martial law, and because of the existence of the Ten Kings Killing Order, I believe that apart from Black Wind City, there will be no safer place than here. β
"Okay, then I'll go with you. The black-robed mage's hand holding the wine glass trembled uncontrollably for a while, and finally chose to compromise, which made several Black Wind Knights breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Reich did not want a fight, not everything could go in the desired direction, and two bloody clashes ended up. However, Lucky considered this possibility from the beginning, so each search team was led by the second order, and it was a group of eight people, so no one was killed in the two battles.
"My lord, our people are trapped!"
At noon, a panicked voice interrupted Leitch's teasing of Alice, cough, wrong, it's caring, after all, the chest is so swollen, this is quite abnormal in Leitch's opinion******
"Don't panic," Reich glared at the knight, and when the other man's breathing had calmed down, Reich continued, "Trapped?
"It's the Viscount of Jinsha, he brought dozens of Jinsha knights to surround those brothers who escorted our mage!" "The knight who sent the letter looked very worried, not to mention that the title of Viscount Jinsha is higher than that of Lei Qi, in the legend, Viscount Jinsha is a master of the oath level, that is a fourth-order existence!
"Viscount Sands?" Reich's hand rubbed back and forth on the silver wine glass a few times, and then he said coldly, "Niu Yi, gather the Knights." β
"Click!
The loud sound of horses' hooves caused the pedestrians on the street to avoid them in both directions, and then they were surprised to find that the leader was actually the baron, and he was followed by dozens of knights and knights!
