After a whole month of arguing, rejecting the little wizard's "whimsical" design, and finally happily drinking up the "boot soup" and yelling that I want another bowl, Isaac finally came up with a draft of the plan.

The whole project was contracted to the dwarven architect sent by Mihailo, a supposedly "experienced" master who had a very bright expression when he saw the drawings, and who had dug a cave for half his life, and for the first time heard that he was going to build a castle that could fly.

So, a whimsical occult wizard, an alchemist with fairy tale dreams, a royal lady who only knows how to encourage them to "behave indiscriminately", with more than a thousand dwarven engineers who stare at the drawings, plus a dozen wizards who have no idea what they are here for, the "secret" begins.

With Loren repeatedly emphasizing the work of the wizard's advisor, Lord Dalton Khand, this "secret project" lasted three days and three quarters of an hour, and became a well-known secret in the Red Blood Castle.

The only problem is that each version of these secrets is different.

According to the gossip released by the United Chamber of Commerce and the Yod Chamber of Commerce, the Duke is ready to establish a secret passage with all the castles of the Thirteen Lords of Byrne, so that he can keep in touch with various places at any time - as for the common sense that the tunnels are not as fast as the cavalry, it is not within their consideration;

The servants in the castle rumored that the Duke was planning to build a new castle to avoid the embarrassment of not looking up and looking down with Earl Charlotte all day long;

In the midst of the turmoil, the "orphanage" run by a wizarding advisor "kindly" is ignored by everyone, even though its official name is supposed to be the "Turin Wizarding Academy".

Under the pervasive intelligence network of the Night's Watch, any deliberate concealment was meaningless, so Dalton directly opened the wizarding academy in the city of Crimson Castle, and recruited a considerable number of gifted orphans, illegitimate children, and young sons who could not inherit the family property.

That's right, it was Peter's way of opening the Wimpal Academy in Lothair, and Dalton made a slight change to become the best cover for the new college, although it did look like an orphanage on the outside.

As for a certain so-called legion, the "Demon Hunter Legion", which is actually only ninety-six people, is even more difficult to enter the eyes of everyone - because a certain black-haired wizard is still struggling with whether the name is "Knights" or "Brotherhood", so it does not even have a number until now, and it is still tentatively designated as the Duke's Guard.

Dalton Candle can't turn ninety-six rough men who have returned from the battlefield into thoughtful wizards overnight, but if only they have the basic abilities of wizards... There's more than one way.

To put it simply, it's conversion.

The unique technique of the Freswalker school is to "hollow out" a certain part of the body, and it is with this technology that Master Freiswalker himself has lived to the age of 141 and still live and survive, even to the point where he can decide his own life and death.

When Loren heard this, he immediately thought of two white-haired men—the first chasing his daughter around, and the other opening a shop, cleaning up the mess left by his father and brother all day long.

In any case, this is a very dangerous technique, with a very low success rate for ordinary people, but it is the only way, and of course, they still need to train their mental temple, at least at the level of an apprentice.

The turbulent situation that has just experienced the Centaur War, the empire that has turned from a stagnant pool to restlessness because of Loren's letter, Byrne, who is ready for war... According to Dalton Kander, the eyeliner in the city of Red Blood Fort is now almost comparable to that of the imperial capital Golovin.

In order to take the main eye away from the main one and not let them touch Byrne's most critical move at the moment, it is necessary to give a little "excitement" to satisfy these people.

“...... And this 'floating city' is the biggest excitement I gave them. ”

In the field of the Red Blood Castle, Loren, leaning against a tree, looked at the construction site in the distance, and a group of guard knights who had been sent to monitor were surrounding the construction machinery brought by the dwarves of Silverhelm Mountain, looking at them with fear and curiosity.

That expression was like Don Quixote seeing a windmill for the first time.

"Now the Red Blood Castle is full of rumors, and there are all kinds of versions. Lifting the frame of her glasses, Lena de Salion's expression was sly: "You did it on purpose?"

"Of course, even an open-book exam is an exam - the answers on the paper are all in the book, and if you want to know which one to find yourself, only the Holy Cross knows. ”

Jokingly saying something that the other party didn't seem to understand, and couldn't understand, Loren Turin shrugged his shoulders: "The longer it drags on, the better it will be for us." ”

Looking at his smug appearance, although he knew that it was a group, the girl with black-rimmed glasses was still very annoying.

"What if the Heavenly Dome Palace asks you... It's impossible to let you go for such a big thing. ”

"Let's be honest. With wide eyes, Loren turned his gaze to Lina with a meaningful gaze: "So you have to hurry up - when this information is worthless, Conod will definitely not let you go easily." ”

"It was sent out three days ago, and it should have been in his hands now. Lena de Salion snorted dissatisfiedly: "But with such a false lie, I seriously doubt that he will believe it." ”

Curling the corners of his mouth, Loren said nonchalantly: "Whether he believes it or not, I will build this floating city." ”

"Why... You, the Duke who doesn't even have a territory, are already so poor that you continue to borrow money from the Earl of Charlotte, borrow land, borrow materials, and borrow food...... What are you going to pay her back?"

"I have my own way, and please, can you stop sarcastically mocking me?"

The black-haired wizard smiled wryly, and glanced back at the construction site in the distance, where Isaac was still dancing with his hands, quite a bit of a leader, and the sweat on his forehead and the mud on his body could not hide the excitement on his face.

The little wizard on the side was holding the drawings, constantly exchanging things with the architect sent by the dwarf Mihailo, and it was obvious that the engineering skills brought by the dwarves intrigued her, even to the point of oblivion.

Loren had no doubt that the two of them would be able to build a fairytale castle that could soar for nine days in this wasteland.

"They really care about you. There was a hint of jealousy in Lena de Salion's tone.

"What?"

"They, both of them are ......" The girl in black-rimmed glasses glanced at her eyes and said lightly, "They knew you were just using them as a trick, but they did it anyway." ”

"I've seen what Isaac is happy to look like, and he's excited not only to create a being that has never been done before, but also because he thinks he can help you by doing so. ”

Loren didn't say anything, and turned his gaze to Lena: "What about you... You want to do everything you can to escape from Golovin even if you accompany Isaac to mess around, all you want is freedom?"

"Golovin is a gorgeous and spacious prison, in which you can enjoy everything, and when you go to the wizarding academy, you will be turned a blind eye by the church, and when you come out, you will be afraid every day, and you will have to put down your royal stature and face, and you will not have inexhaustible wealth... Is it worth it?"

"Of course it's worth it. ”

"If it were a person, I probably wouldn't have had the courage to escape from that prison. ”

Lena de Salion's body trembled slightly, and her eyes lowered: "But for the sake of your own man, a woman's endurance is not something you can imagine, Lord Duke." ”

"Not to mention Isaac Grantham... There is no one in this world who gets along better than him. ”

The black-haired wizard's eyes widened.

Isaac... Easy to get along with?

"Compared to a stinky man like you, he is simply the most considerate and gentle type in the world. Lena snorted softly, looking into the distance with the megalomaniacal gaze gradually blurred:

"He understands everything, he understands everything, but you don't have any scruples about treating him like a child, a child who won't grow up to be a stinky man. ”

"This gentleness... There will never be a second one. ”

......................................................

Rout Infinit sat at the table, flipped through the latest information with his remaining hand, and Edward, the Night's Watchman, stood behind him with a blank expression.

"Floating... City?" the leader of the Night's Watch muttered to himself, "What do you mean?"

It refers to a castle that can float or levitate in the air. Edward replied bluntly, "It can take off automatically, and maybe it can fly." ”

“...... Thanks, it really helped. Rute Infinit twitched the corners of his mouth.

"This is what subordinates should do. Edward replied with a bow.

"But that's not what I want to know!" Rut Infinit turned, his voice low and chilling:

"Loren Turin... He had just gone through a war that was enough to destroy the country, and he stirred up the situation in the whole empire with a letter, and he has not been able to recover the Red Blood Castle from Charlotte Turin until now, so that he has no title of duke!"

"At such a critical juncture, this person who has broken the balance has not reorganized his arms and horses, or purged the villains in the principality, and expanded his authority, but has thrown a lot of resources into this unknown 'floating city'......"

"Why?!"

"I'm sorry, but my subordinates don't know. Edward still replied coldly: "The task you gave me was only to collect information about Loren Turin and the Duchy of Byrne, and I was not asked to make an analysis and judgment. ”

"And the Floating City is already the most noteworthy information in the Red Blood Castle City right now. ”

Rute Infinit just sneered.

"You're playing dumb... Edward, it is not difficult for those with a little brain to guess that this so-called 'floating city' is just a trick by Loren Turin, a deliberately thrown out piece of information, and such a huge gesture cannot just make a castle fly into the sky!"

"Yes. Edward didn't retort, and quietly took a step back.

"There's definitely some deception here, and the question is, what exactly is he trying to hide with such a huge spending account?" the night watchman's eyes narrowed:

"Dalton Kander... Wizard Tower went to great lengths to get this old friend to Byrne, and it certainly wasn't there to reunite them with the two of them!"

"So, do you need to send manpower to search for information about Dalton Khand?"

Rute Infinit was slightly stunned, then shook his head: "Let our intelligence network investigate the patriarch of a wizarding tower, or a former night watchman... They will be eaten by this 'old-timer' and there will be no scum left!"

"I had a hard time sneaking up on him a few years ago, and now... Now that he's the patriarch of the Wizard Tower, it's even harder for us to move this guy. ”

"Let the intelligence network of the Red Blood Fortress continue to investigate, and allow some manpower to be compromised if necessary, and besides, the Ebolden side needs to be strengthened... I seriously doubt that there is some secret between Loren Turin and that Corona that cannot be told. ”

"Yes!" Edward bowed, then turned his head to leave: "My subordinates will do it." ”

"However, when it comes to Ebolden and the Wizard's Tower, I did get some interesting information......"

Root, who suddenly spoke, called out to Edward, who had already walked to the door.

"According to the reaction of our people, the Wizard Tower seems to have discovered something special near the Misty Sea, which is said to be related to the shipwreck of the ocean-going fleet, and is preparing to secretly send a team to investigate by ship. ”

"They have prepared so secretively that the entire ship is almost entirely composed of wizards, except for the necessary sailors, and our people must be wizards who can be trusted by the Wizard Tower if they want to infiltrate them. ”

"For example, your friend, Peter Fasha......"

Edward, with his back to the leader of the Night's Watch, said nothing, a drop of cold sweat running across his stiff cheeks.

Unfortunately, he was discovered at the time of the Ebolden unrest, and it was impossible to sneak in. Rutte Infinit glanced at Edward's back:

"So I had to find a replacement, and as for Peter himself... It would be more useful to stay at Ebden. ”

Trembling all over, Edward, who was suddenly relieved, only felt in a trance, and the violent heartbeat made his chest rise and fall uncontrollably, and he opened his mouth tremblingly:

"Thank you... Lord Rut Infinit!"

"No thanks, taking care of my subordinates is also what I should do. Rutter had a smile on his face, but his tone sounded cold and harsh:

"We're all loyal to the Empire's Night's Watch, so we should all be loyal to each other. ”

"What do you think, Edward?"
