After a large-scale assassination battle, you have been promoted to level 8, and your spells have not only become more powerful but also more powerful, coupled with the tips of senior instructors in the back row, objectively speaking, your talent and benefits as a level 8 mage are extraordinary.

For example, the self-created level 4 arcane "Inferior Mud to Stone" is based on the well-known level 5 arcane "Mud to Stone", and it is reduced by one link at the cost of permanent effect to temporary effect.

Many legendary archmages throughout history have created their own new spells of their own style, and while you haven't reached this level yet, there's no reason why you can't do that since Octavia can rewrite existing fire arcane.

I was going to use this "inferior mud to stone" to deal with a large area of swamp blocking the road, or for emergency use, but in the end, it was used in captivity.

Your hands dance at high speed, and as the incantation is finished, the bottomless quagmire that Baron Edward has fallen into hardens with great speed.

He was overjoyed: "Ha, I'm saved!"

He was stunned: "Huh, I can't get out?"

The current lord is buried in a solid rock formation from the chest down, and his left elbow is unlucky to be sealed in it. Waving his right arm, gesturing his fingers, gasping for breath and talking—that's all he could do.

Damn, what are you doing? Pull me out! Don't let the wolf you summoned lick my ears, itchy—— Edward yelled and was finally gagged by you. Honestly, get stuck in the stone, and the arcane will be dead in about eight hours.

It was never appropriate to take him back to the castle. It was difficult for both private soldiers and mobs to stand by the baron, and there were too many secret doors in the castle and it was easy for him to escape again.

Don't make any more extraneous branches, just trap him like this, and wait for it to get dark.

soon

Your entourage also arrived, with no private soldiers or mobs following you.

With Leia as the pioneer of the pathfinder, leave the castle and detour to the woods on the outskirts of the country to come straight to you. She will be able to communicate with you from a distance. In Pickering's eyes, things on the main material plane have a different situation - earth is soil, mud is mud, grass is grass, even if humans seem to be surrounded by muddy land full of weeds, there is not much difference, she can accurately distinguish where is the deep quagmire with dense water elements, and where is the ordinary grass with the majority of earth elements.

The crowd found out that you had captured Baron Edward, who was causing trouble, so they prepared to camp on the spot until it was dark.

Although she was sure that Leia was unharmed, what happened to her?

I was abruptly transferred to the roof of the castle and placed in a cage, but how could a large cage for humans hold me - Leia flew out of the cage with ease.

Elizabeth and Annette were fine, but Miss Jenna was so frightened that her face was still bloodless and her eyes were straight. How could the pampered eldest lady know how low the true value of human life was outside the mansion? Today's matter is really light.

Annette casts a level 3 arcane "camping hut", and everyone, including Baron Edward, is shrouded in a spherical force field with a radius of 6 meters, and there is a light source in the center of the dome inside, and the temperature is also pleasant. People can come and go freely, and the hood is transparent when viewed from the inside, but yellow-green camouflage to prevent peeping when viewed from the outside.

No one present would survive in the wild, and it was inconvenient to run around in the swamp and hunt, so they camped in place and used the fruits, cakes, fish and meat brought by the two maids of the eldest lady.

It was drizzling outside,

If the rain doesn't blow or the wind blows, you can still enjoy the rain in the forest. Some people take a nap, some people close their eyes and take a nap.

Annette looks at Baron Edward, who is honestly half stuck in the stone, and asks you, "You really don't plan to try him?"

is not a suspect, he can't be beaten and scolded, and his mouth is full of nonsense, as long as he waits for the sunset couple to meet, all the truth will be revealed, so as not to bother to distinguish right from wrong.

Jenna held the book in her arms, and from time to time she would peek at the gagged baron. Of course, she knew from the beginning that the other party was the person she was forced to marry, but she has not said anything so far.

Lady Edward was contacted, and the vampire couldn't wait for the sun to set completely, so he couldn't wait to run over wrapped in a thick linen cloth. When she found her husband trapped in the stone, she hurried forward, fell to her knees, stretched out her sun-scorched hands, and caressed the baron's cheeks lovingly.

Her voice choked, "...... How did things come to this, you were wronged. ”

Although it was dusk and the forest could avoid direct sunlight, she must be the most painful at the moment. She removed the rags from her husband's mouth: "Are you hurt?"

"So you hired them! You mother-in-law is so hateful! Release me out!"

Well, Lady Edward couldn't wait for the spell time limit to cast a "disenchantment" on the rocky floor, causing the rock to turn into a mire again in an instant, and then lifted her husband out with one hand and placed it on the ground lightly and gently.

She leaned over and wiped the mud from her husband's armor with the sleeves of her expensive robes.

"Don't do that!" the baron raised his arm to push the vampire away, "aren't we divorced?

Lady Edward sat upright, her head bowed, and muttered, "I...... If you don't agree, it's not a formal divorce......" The sound is quieter than the sound of mosquitoes.

"What the hell do you want!"

"Let's get back together...... I can ignore all the things you used to care about. ”

"You can do it, eldest sister, grandmother, can't you let me live? I'm a human being, you're a vampire, we're different from each other, it's good for everyone to be separated, don't come and continue to pester me." ”

"You're not like this, it's all that bad woman who bewitched you, are you awake? Once, how much you loved me, don't you really remember? I know you don't really want a divorce. Just give me a chance - I know a priest (Julianne) who can help cast a spell on you, come with me, you will surely come to your senses from your confusion, and we will definitely go back to the old days. ”

The couple went back and forth, and the words made you feel terrible, and then reached out and pushed Annette forward. The big killer Hathaway is not there, and Xiao Te can also use it.

Annette was even more dizzy than you, and she had many doubts in her heart, and asked, "It's a bit messy, please let me do it from the beginning...... How did you two meet and fall in love?"

Both were silent.

Lady Edward looks back: "I was originally an ordinary village girl from a far away place, persecuted by the local magnates, because I was young and good-looking, and was taken in by a high-ranking vampire and adopted as a subordinate. The master was both noble and strong, but because of his overly ostentatious style, he eventually died at the hands of the High Paladin. What few of us have left us are struggling to survive under the knife and are being pursued for a long time. ”

"I have no power or intention to avenge my master, so I keep a low profile and hide in the vicinity. At that time, there were only two families in the Silent Rain Swamp, not even a small camp. When the rest of my companions were hunted by the paladins, it was my turn. I tried my best to hide my tracks, and one day, I was finally approached by the paladins. ”

"It was my husband who stepped up and won their mercy to spare my life. At that time, I made an arcane pact that I would not kill innocents indiscriminately for the rest of my life, and that I would not harm the lives of volunteers who would only suck their blood. It is also strictly adhered to to this day. ”

"The husband at that time was ...... Just passed his fourth birthday. Lady Edward said this, looking at the Baron with moist eyes.

As time passed, and the mighty paladin died in political strife, Lady Edward was safe, but she also developed a picky eating habit - she could only accept Edward's blood, and the others were sick to their stomachs. This is due to her desire for the evolution of the species, the fact that Edward was quietly cared for and the quality of his blood, and the fact that he signed a magical contract not to suck blood indiscriminately.

Time has passed, not only her, but also him, who is quite handsome and beautiful.

Just when you think it's a vampire story of a traitor's return, Baron Edward begins to explain, but from a completely different perspective: "How old I was then, four years old! Suddenly, a group of vicious bad guys rushed into the widowed big sister's house next door, and injured people, what should I do? Dad went out hunting, Mom also picked herbs, and this big sister took care of me on weekdays! I- I could only stand up and shout, "Spare the big sister!" What they said about vampires, evil or something, I didn't have time to understand, I could only continue to shout, "Big sister has always taken care of me, she is a good person!"

It seems that this guy has been brave enough since he was a child...... No, recklessly.

"Later I found out what a vampire is, but she can only suck my blood to survive, can I say "no"? Mom and Dad also trembled and didn't dare to disobey, just thinking about not stimulating the monster and living smoothly as usual, so everything remained normal. My parents died early, I was only seven or eight years old and couldn't stand on my own, so it was logical to live with her, I gave her food, and she also raised me. ”

"There is no girl of the same age in the village, and she is like a sister and a mother, and she gets along day and night, and for a long time—well, it's because I was so hot-headed that I crossed the line. I can't be irresponsible, right, and then things gradually turned into marriage. ”

In other words, Mrs. Edward had no intention of falling in love and marrying each other, at first she only took care of the children next door just to hide her traces, and later she was grateful for the grace of saving her life, even if she was pushed down, she was only obedient. Edward, on the other hand, was unintentionally inserted into the willows, and when he was young, he made a mistake for a while, and later felt guilty and could only take responsibility.

Annette frowned and tilted her head: "In that case, isn't it okay to rebuild the old one?

Edward waved his hand: "I'm not happy......! My wife is very strict, and she has never given me a chance to hug others, and I also feel that I have not tried it, but I only recently learned that vampires and humans feel completely different! Cold and hard, I thought that the whole world is the same, it is common sense, and every wife is like this! I want to ask you in the other way - if you have eaten black bread for more than ten years and it is bitter and hard, and you suddenly taste cream cake ice cream, can you go back and continue to eat black bread!"

belch

Several women suddenly looked at you in unison, but you were silent.

You really want to say yes, but it's too against your will...... If there is such a big gap, the baron is really pitiful. Although it seems that the vampire is young, beautiful, elegant and seductive, it is often different from what it looks like - the beautiful stone sculptures in the square are quite beautiful.

Annette was inconvenient to inquire about the couple's private affairs and discord, but Mrs. Edward wept and begged for justice: "I can't be blamed for this...... I'm an inanimate thing, the race is born with an aversion to the beauty of life, and I've lived for hundreds of years, and my soul has dried up and I can't catch up with any romance, how do you want me to serve a young Terran boy who is in the prime of life? I've tried so hard to cater to him......"

It's also pitiful how a centuries-old female corpse has to "work hard".

"He always blames me for not being able to have children, what can I do? The law of the kingdom is monogamous, and only the great nobles have privileges, in order for him to take a concubine, I also tried to help him rise to the position of baron, it can't be my fault in my heart, right?"

Help him rise to the nobility?What's going on?

"In fact, it is not difficult to help her husband become a baron, and the conditions for a commoner in the kingdom to become a baron are not strict, and the best shortcut is to make some military achievements. Lady Edward wiped her tears, "Because I secretly eradicated the bandits and beasts around me, small villages gradually formed here, and the kingdom encountered small wars, so I let my husband join the army, and secretly accompanied him to protect it." Three military exploits of attacking the enemy camp in the middle of the night and cutting down the heads of the enemy generals made him promoted to a baron afterwards, and he returned to his hometown to take charge of the Silent Rain Swamp Domain and become a lord. ”

You look at Annette, who shrugs her shoulders. Most of the military information will not be released to the public, although Edward's military exploits have been found, but I don't know what kind of military exploits they are. Co-authored, to put it bluntly, it was a vampire who risked his life to take the head of the enemy general, and then gave his military exploits to Edward. Actually, Edward himself didn't do anything?

When the baron heard this, he was not pleased: "How could I have done nothing? I have fought bloodily in every battle, and I have struck countless enemies, but since I was a child, I have been very strong and brave, and I am no less brave than an adult, but all the military merits I have earned have been taken by the leaders, and they are not enough to be promoted to the nobility." ”

His wife first accompanied him to practice swords, and after arriving at the battlefield, he secretly protected him all the way, and finally sent military merits. The husband is also a good qualification, very hard and brave, but what he lacks is some luck, and he is not a genius.

He is not a "leader-level warrior" at all, as written in the information, but an elite level, he practiced at home to level 5, and he rose to level 10 on the battlefield, so he couldn't be promoted anymore and there was no need to be promoted, and he returned to his hometown to become the lord of a small village. Last year's appraisal data was supported by Baron Edward wearing expensive equipment, and objectively speaking, when fully armed, it was indeed more fierce than the elite level.

Then he stupidly held his sword and faced the mage, what was going on?

“...... The husband lacks practical experience in dealing with mages...... Neither on the battlefield nor against me, he has never faced a mage, and I am reluctant to cast a spell. Lady Edward bowed her head, "Spells that vampires excel at, including enchanting immobilization, have never been used against him. Once I hurt him, I fear that the trust I have worked so hard to build up over the years will be lost in an instant. Humans have always had a hard time trusting vampires, so I had to be cautious about what I said and did. ”

yes

No wonder this guy has come to the guild since he came to the guild, and he has never had half of his arrogant words and deeds, even if he was treated disrespectfully, he didn't come up with the attitude of "my mother is level 20, it's easy to kill everyone, shut up for me", it turns out that he has always been cautious and waited for his beloved, and he has long been used to it. Because she has been hunted down, she knows that the Terrans are strong, and because she has been disliked, she understands the Terrans' wariness of her.

It's no wonder that the baron's resistance is so low, and he hits the trick as soon as he is charmed, but in fact, he has never practiced resistance at all.

Don't bother to ask about the mob for the time being,

Why, then, did the baron ambush the mob without carrying a weapon?

“...... In the past, my husband was guarded by me every time, and he didn't have to defend himself, so I guess I was careless. The baron on the side bowed his head in embarrassment.

So, what are so many vampire traps in secret doors?

“...... How could a week be set up by my husband? It's been a long time for me to deal with assassinations of my own kind. The dark world is very small, but everyone is at the end of the world and is as close as a stone's throw away, and the slightest wind and grass will spread all over the world. I went into the battlefield to assassinate enemy generals, and offended many distant people. ”

So even Lea Guan's cage was prepared for the other vampires to be burned to death by the sun?The prayer room, the silver pipe, and the holy water?In terms of time, Edward really didn't have the manpower and material resources to set such a delicate trap.

Then why was he so stupid and fell into the swamp of his own territory?

The baron held his forehead: "It's all her fault." She always said that the swamp was dangerous, and she didn't let me run around to play since I was a child, and even more so after I became a lord, she literally put me under house arrest in the castle!

"I care about you, it's really dangerous!"

"I'm a level 10 elite warrior, what danger are I afraid of! The nearby goblin wolves and thieves are not my opponents, what I need is freedom!"

"Haven't those enemies always been eliminated by me? I can make a move easily, and the territory can sit and enjoy peace, what kind of dissatisfaction do you have to divorce?"

"Where do you think I look like a lord? I don't even have my own private soldiers! Tell you! I tied up all six of your private soldiers to death in the sun! Not a single one was left!"

"A few servant vampires are dead when they die, and I'll recreate them. ”

"I'm going to use my own private soldiers! The lord is me, not you!"

Mrs. Edward was surprised: "I have not given orders privately, and I have not collected taxes, and I have always adhered to my duty, how can I abuse my power? Even if you raise private soldiers, you can't hire those mobs and bandits, you can't be relied on at all." ”

"Hurry up and get a divorce, I have my own way, I don't need you to continue to teach a lesson!"

"In a little more time I will be able to help you become a viscount, I have already thought of a plan, please trust me!"

"No, at least the earl will not be able to take a concubine, unlike someone, I am not immortal. When I can take a concubine and have a child, the child will probably have to look at my gray hair and call grandpa directly, and I don't know if I can have the strength to create a human at that time, right?"

The chatter went on and on, but the situation was generally clear.

Vampires raise a Zhengtai to be a husband, and they do their best, but there are always things that can and can't be done, and the inability to have children is also a thorn between husband and wife, how easy is it for a commoner to become an earl?

As Edward's status and circumstances continue to improve, he has more and more demands, which is really human nature. At first, he only needed a temporary nanny for half a day, and then he needed a godmother, then a woman, a lover, a virtuous and capable wife, and a strong backing on the battlefield.

The two have many different values.

The vampire thinks that sheltering his lover is the right way to go, and Edward feels that he is always living in the shadow of the other person.

The more they quarreled, the more fierce they became, a level 20 vampire was really humble, sitting on his knees and explaining to his husband that he had good intentions, and a level 10 warrior was raised crookedly, without a sense of crisis, and his actual combat experience was biased, he didn't understand government affairs, and he didn't even personally inspect the suburbs of the territory, which was really miserable.

It's up to those women to do it, you need to do something immediate and practical. What are you going to do?

A, persuasion and peace. Mrs. Edward's problem is bigger, and she has to think of a solution.

B, persuasion and peace. Baron Edward has a big problem, and he has to think of a way to deal with him.

C, persuasion to leave. Find a way to get Lady Edward to give up the entanglement.

D, persuaded to leave, and facilitated the marriage of the Edwards family of the Eliabeth family. This will make the vampire more painful, but it will also get out of the filthy faster.
