"Yesterday the Earl went to talk to the nobles again, and there was no progress at all. There are a few guys www.biquge.info who are very tough, and the rest of the people are waiting and watching, and they have no intention of handing over the land. ”

In the map room of Deepwoodburg, Sir Aaron, who had an unkind face, pressed his right hand on the map of the county: "If this continues, before the end of winter, it is impossible for us to carry out the reform to the entire county!"

It was not for nothing that Sir Aaron was a little grumpy, seeing the cold winter coming, but the whole plan was still stalled. And those stubborn nobles would rather confront Ruben Fried to the end, even under house arrest in the Deep Forest, than hand over the already barren land.

"I don't think that's a bad thing. Loren, who was standing next to him, was very optimistic: "Being able to go this far shows that our plan is very successful." ”

In fact, it was beyond his expectations to be able to go this far. And for Barry Senna, who contributed to this, Loren has never taken it lightly.

As for the reason why this old man suddenly "changed sides", Loren has never found any evidence - the other party seems to have really changed a person, and he has never left Shenlin Castle, and there is no trace of collusion with those nobles at all.

Did he follow him and was discovered, or was there any way for the other party to avoid his gaze?

"The plan succeeded?" Sir Aaron, who frowned, thought for a while, and finally understood what Loren meant: "You mean, we can use this method to determine who is really against the Earl?"

"That's exactly what you said – you said that most people are just watching, and only a few are really opposed. Seeing the other party's understanding, Loren nodded: "So we don't have to deal with everyone at all, as long as we clean up these families, the rest will naturally bow down." ”

"In addition, the storage of food in the castle is also a problem. ”

"What's wrong with the granary?" Sir Aaron became nervous again, and even couldn't help but increase his tone: "Shouldn't such an important matter be confirmed in advance?!"

"You're worried, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the granary, I'm just a little worried. Loren hurriedly waved his hand to let the other party relax: "I have checked, and the grain in it is enough to last for three months without food." ”

"But if a famine breaks out in the whole county the following year, it may not last even a month. Speaking of this, even Loren himself chuckled: "But this probability is too low, so don't care about it at all." ”

"But what if it happens?" said Sir Aaron, still uneasy.

Loren raised his eyebrows confidently: "I have my own way." ”

If it really came to that point, in addition to asking Duke Fried for help, the only way to do it was to completely wipe out the nobles who still refused to surrender and steal their food to meet the forced choice—otherwise, what else could be done?

Loren didn't want to drive others to a dead end when he didn't have a way out, and he didn't mind slaughtering one or two stubborn guys as fat sheep if he really didn't have a choice.

"Lord Loren Turin?"

The sudden voice from outside the door made the two of them turn their heads at the same time, and Will Senna, who was a little nervous, appeared in sight: "I'm sorry, I definitely didn't mean to disturb the two!"

"It's just that there are two gentlemen who want to see you, claiming to be your friends at Wimpal Academy. The squire looked at Loren: "Do you want to see him, or will I reject them?"

"Let me go. Loren stepped forward and patted Will Senna on the shoulder very warmly, "Thank you, Will." Without you, our plans wouldn't have gone so smoothly. ”

Some of the "flattered" squires scratched their heads with a smile, not noticing the murderous aura between the black-haired wizard's eyebrows - no third person should know about himself and Sir Aaron in the map room, how did he find him?

Hiding these in his heart, Loren pretended to be sincere and walked to the corridor outside the map without looking back. After making sure that no one was following him, he left the castle.

............ "I miss you so much, Loren Turin!"

The little wizard had a big smile on his face, a big smile that would have almost overshadowed the murderous look of his eyes, if it weren't for Loren's noticing that her right hand had been clenched into a fist.

"I—I'm sorry. After laughing embarrassedly, the black-haired wizard hurriedly ducked back: "Please believe me, really, there is really no way or I will definitely go back!"

"It's nothing, it's just that you lied to me again, and it's not the first time anyway. Coming from afar, Ain Rand, who was in the dust, hid an expression of gnashing teeth under his smile: "And it's just a big deal like a graduation ceremony, so you don't have to worry about it at all." ”

"I'm sorry, I was really wrong, I will definitely never dare to ...... next time"

"Shut up!" The little wizard who finally couldn't bear it anymore widened her eyes, her shoulders trembled and she stared at him angrily, it seemed that if it weren't for the image attention, she would have pounced directly:

"I warned you not to take me for a fool——!!!!!"

Her delicate cheeks flushed like ripe apples, and her pale blonde hair curled up, making the enraged Al Yin look like a fried lion cub, flaring his teeth and claws at Loren.

In the face of such a "terrible" enemy, Loren chose to raise his hands and surrender without hesitation: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was really wrong, you can punish me as much as you want, please don't be polite." ”

The black-haired wizard who pretended to be stupid made Ain's teeth itch with anger, and the hat hiding behind the little wizard was completely surprised that the vicious Loren Turin was still afraid of this kind-hearted wizard master?

After a brief runaway of control, Ain Rand gradually came to his senses and took a long, deep breath to calm himself. She hadn't expected things to turn out like this, but when she saw the guy's smiling expression, the little wizard felt like she couldn't control herself.

This big liar is so hateful!

"So, you're an official alchemist now?" Loren asked, pretending to be relaxed, with a smile on his face, "It's not too late to say congratulations, right?"

"At least it's a lot better than some self-righteous guy. The little wizard rolled his eyes: "You should really look at what he looks like at the ceremony, people who don't know still think he is going to be a duke!"

Loren had no doubts about Ain's complaints. According to Isaac Grantham's usual style, the man who did not rush directly to disparage everyone's achievements for nothing, and then put on a "everyone here is rubbish" expression, has proved that he is very restrained.

"I don't know why you're here in Deepwoodburg, but since you're here, let's get some rest. Loren, who was suspected of flattering, carried the luggage from the little wizard very attentively: "Let's stay in the castle for a few days, although it is very remote, it is still very comfortable." ”

"I'm a native of Deepwoodburg. The little wizard looked at him helplessly: "But you know more about this place than you, a wizard advisor who has just taken office!"

Just as the three of them were about to return to the castle, Barry Senna was about to leave very "coincidentally", and the kind old man smiled at Loren: "Isn't this His Excellency Loren Turin? ”

"yes, what a coincidence. Loren also had a formulaic smile on his face: "I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"Are these two your friends?" the old man smiled at the hat and the little wizard, "I don't know if you like faces, could you please introduce me?"

"Absolutely, this is the hat. Loren patted the boy on the head and smiled "sincerely": "And this one is ......"

"I—my name is Isaac!" Ain grabbed in front of Loren and took the initiative to hold the old man's hand, the smile on his face was very nervous: "Nice to meet you!"

"That's right, my full name is Isaac Grantham. Without the slightest hesitation, Loren continued: "The premier alchemist of the Wimpal Academy!"
