"You drank last night?"

The young earl looked at his wizard advisor in astonishment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl: "It seems that I have drunk a lot...... Did you have any fun last night?"

"It's just that I can't help it all of a sudden. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Looking at the other party's strange eyes, Loren smiled disappreciatively: "By the way, relax the nerves that have been tense recently." ”

Levin nodded very convincingly, he knew very well how much burden Loren had on his shoulders, especially after the fire in the granary: "This time is too hard for you, let's go hunting together when the weather is over and the weather clears." ”

"This ...... I'm afraid not. Loren smiled bitterly, took out the rescue letter from the elves before, and handed it to the earl: "This is from before." ”

“...... Have you already started to invade the Ancient Wood Forest on a large scale?" Lu Wen's eyes widened after reading the letterhead, and his expression was full of shock: "No wonder we will encounter ogres on the way here, it seems that there are already several settlements that have broken through the elves' defenses!"

"This matter must be notified to my father as soon as possible, if the elves are finished, it is absolutely impossible for the deep forest castle to withstand the attack of dozens or hundreds of ogres - no matter what supplies they want, they can give them, these monsters must not be allowed to cross the border of the ancient wood forest, I want to meet the elven messenger in person!"

"I've already talked to the head of their emissary group. Speaking of this, Loren did not forget to bow his head slightly: "I'm very sorry, but the situation was very urgent at that time, so I had to make a decision." ”

"I promised them that if they were willing to side with you in the event of a rebellion among the nobles of Deepwood, Duke Lothair would provide them with adequate support. If you don't want to......"

"No, you're doing a great job, we're short of people we can trust. Lu Wen waved his hand, and did not forget to chuckle at Loren: "You are not only my wizard advisor, but also my friend, I trust your judgment. ”

"So, where are the elven warriors now, and how long will it take to get to the castle if needed?"

"Not far away is an abandoned farmstead in place, and they will come if they give the signal. Loren explained, "After all, they are so different from humans that they would definitely raise suspicion if they came to them. ”

The young earl nodded, and then seemed to remember something: "Speaking of which, the guys who were arrested for trying to destroy the granary are still in the dungeon, muttering some nonsense all day long!"

"One said he had seen an old evil god, another said he had seen a vampire, and some said he heard the devil singing. Speaking of this, even Leven himself laughed: "How did you do it?"

"Well, I'm a wizard. Loren shrugged his shoulders and smiled playfully: "I can show them some...... Something that didn't exist in the first place. ”

"If you don't want to say it, forget it, I don't care anyway. The Count shrugged his shoulders: "As long as they live well, let them go when their respective families bring the ransom, land, and food—what a cheap bunch of damned moths!"

"Before, I would have done anything to kill them all. But I'm a count now, and I want to be a good earl, which means I can't do what I want, I have to be restrained. ”

"Father said that a good lord is to be feared by the nobles and loved by the commoners. Lu Wen suddenly muttered to himself, and laughed softly: "Now I think that this sentence may also be a bit narrow, it is wrong to blindly pursue the love of commoners, or to intimidate nobles with killing and criminal law." ”

"Lord...... Just like judges, the rich are not necessarily wrong, the poor are not necessarily good, giving them justice and letting them do their part is what the lord should do. ”

For the first time, Loren looked at Ruben Fried with a little more respect in his eyes.

Although this statement was full of condescending tones, it did look like an earl. After only two months of polishing, Lu Wen completed his transformation. It's not the irascible and impatient kid I was when I first came.

This is also a good thing for Loren - although I hope that Levin can believe in himself 100%, but that does not mean that he also hopes that the other party is an imbecile who relies on himself for everything, it is inevitably too tiring.

There were less than ten days left before Sir Aaron returned. Whatever Barry Senna and his cronies want to do, it's going to be in ten days.

If it were him, when would he do it?, Loren suddenly fell into a state of thought, his dark pupils scanning around the castle hall.

The hall was still the same as it used to be, but for some reason, the black-haired wizard always had a sense of discord, as if something was missing. What was supposed to be there is now gone.

"Where's Will Senna?" said Loren in thought.

"I don't know, I haven't seen anyone since last night, and I haven't seen anyone now. Lu Wen shook his head: "Probably something, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just very curious, does anyone know where he went?" Loren frowned and asked, "Probably, did he mention what he was going to do before leaving?"

"Nothing......" As soon as the words came out, Levin immediately understood what Loren meant: "You mean that his departure was premeditated?!"

"I'm just guessing. ”

Loren casually beckoned the knights of the guards standing guard outside the hall: "Go and look for it, and ask the servants in the castle to see if anyone knows where Will Senna has gone!"

"Find a few more people, and check all the nobles' rooms one by one to see if they are still in the castle - and if any of them are gone, come back at once!"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly dropped to freezing, and Loren and Levin were silent, patiently waiting for the news from the knights of the guard.

Time passed, and by the time the knight of the guard pushed open the gate again, it was already noon. The knight, whose forehead was covered with beads of sweat, gasped and rushed into the hall, forgetting to even salute Lu Wen.

"Everyone...... It's all gone!"

"What?!"

"We searched all the rooms, even the nearby stables and houses, but there wasn't a single one!" the eyes of the knights of the guard were also full of shock: "Those adults seem to have disappeared out of thin air, all of them are gone!"

As expected...... The calm black-haired wizard's eyes narrowed slightly. Although the other party's actions were surprisingly fast, he was not unprepared, and he also had the strength to resist.

After all, if they really planned to take advantage of the chaos to kill Lu Wen, they would definitely not joke with their own lives and stay in this castle that would be attacked by mobs at any time.

"Immediately close the gates of the castle, order all the castle guards to assemble, and recall the knights of the guard!" "Ruben, who recovered from his shock, immediately began to give orders: "Send a messenger to the Duke of Lothair, tell him that the nobles of Deeplinburg have launched a rebellion and send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the knight who turned to leave, the count who breathed a sigh of relief turned his gaze to Loren: "We can't wait for our father's reinforcements, and we can't wait for Sir Aaron, either tonight or tomorrow night, they will launch an attack and capture the Deep Forest Castle!"

"I'm going to gather the elves right away and have them go to the castle to help defend it. Loren nodded: "Although there are not many people, they should be able to play a big role - if they can stop the ogre's attack, it will not be a problem to defend the castle." ”

"If they are really willing to fight alongside us and not betray us, I will find a way to persuade my father to form an alliance with the elves. Lu Wen's expression became much more resolute: "Do you have any plans?"

"We've got to hold on to Fort Deepwood, there's no doubt about that. But if it was enough to wait until the battle was over, there would still be no reason to arrest Barry Senna and his doglegs, and leaving the castle without permission would not be enough to cut off their heads!"

Loren's tone was very determined: "So it is necessary to delay this battle, give them a trap that they can get into, and let them see the hope of victory." ”

"After all...... Snakes can only be decapitated if they get out of their burrows!"
