Volume 13 Seals! A sigh from the Abyssal Gate! Chapter 56: Joining forces
A white-haired young man grinned as he handed the letter in his hand to an old man sitting in front of him. "It's unbelievable that Sarna actually found a total of more than thirty-two mages to surround Landiston's team, but this team of five hundred people is indeed extraordinary, and with a strong man like Landiston in charge, it just delayed their actions, or let them successfully reach Worral Fort, the local marquis could not refuse, let them enter the territory, but sent a letter overnight, explaining that his actions were only forced." β
The old man had an ordinary face, with a short black and white beard, and despite his age, it could be seen that he had thick limbs, bright eyes, and still full of energy, and he was wearing a well-cut mage robe, but he did not wear any badge to indicate his identity, so it was impossible to tell his rank.
He took the letter, flipped through it, and then looked up and asked, "Semerhill is also in the team?"
"The black widow?" the young man smiled and said, "yes." Everybody has an idea about the seat of the Friar, but if she voted for the Holy See, then I don't believe it, and she still wants her family property?" he asked a little strangely, "why do you ask about her? In that team, although she has a lot of influence, she is not a big person."
At this time, the servant outside knocked lightly on the door and said, "My lord, the family is here again, this time I said that you should administer justice for them no matter what, otherwise they will not leave." β
The young man pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "These short-sighted guys. β
The old man groaned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Treat them well, try to meet their requirements as much as possible, but don't promise anything, if they want to go, let them go," his gaze wandered back and forth over the letter in his hand, and said, "It's not time for me to see them yet." β
"But we can't ignore it, can we?" said the young man, "This will inevitably make it seem that we are forced by the authority of the Holy See to dare not come forward, and it will inevitably take a blow to your prestige." β
"Oh, what are you going to do?" said the old man, with no expression on his face.
The young man smiled evilly, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "We may be able to use a more civilized way." β
"For example?"
"Aristocratic duels, fights for glory and stuff, in short. It's just an excuse, an excuse that can't be pushed off, and it's not so much that it doesn't directly contradict the Holy See, you know. β
The old man nodded and said, "Then let's do as you say, I heard that some young people are very unconvinced by this bishop, so you might as well let them touch the nails." β
The young man was slightly stunned, and then laughed twice as if he had thought of something. Then he sighed: "Sometimes it's really unfair to think about it, we have to think about so many things, and those guys who eat all day long have nowhere to vent." β
"Isn't that what we want, let's just have a few more pigs. The old man said lightly.
The young man said with a mocking face: "It's ridiculous that those people still think that they are the masters, and the kingdom of mages, except for mages, there can be no other authoritarians, otherwise they will cause big trouble." β
"Trouble?" the old man smiled deeply, shook the letter in his hand up and down, and said, "Sometimes even if you want to dodge, it will come to the door, I want to see what those people will do this time," paused. His expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You went to see Landiston on my behalf, and said that I had done what the Holy See said, and now, everything is under control." β
"Yes, sir. The young man also put away his cynical smile, bowed his head, bowed respectfully, and said, "I will set off at once." β
Fort Volral.
A knight of the Servant stopped Alfred and Andy, and the golden branch on the family coat of arms already indicated his identity, and he said arrogantly, "We do not welcome you, please withdraw from the land of your lordship." β
Alfret glanced back, and standing not far behind the knight was a nobleman with a good appearance who nodded at him, as a greeting, he was good-looking, standing there straight, with a clear and well-educated body, and the badge that symbolized the middle-ranking mage hung on his right chest, but it was not known whether it was as gold-rich as the long string of gold-encrusted breasts on the placket.
Although this young man looked modest and decent on the surface, the full arrogance on his face still revealed his true inner thoughts, and behind him stood two low-ranking female mages in long skirts, not very old, but when they looked at Alfred, their beautiful eyes were full of curiosity.
Alfred said indifferently: "The stationing here is with the permission of the Marquis, I think if you have any objections, you can go to the Marquis to solve them." You don't have to appeal to me, but of course, if you are willing to be baptized as a believer in the Lord, I myself do not mind administering justice to you. β
"This templar may not be aware of the problem in his eyes. The young man was not angry, but said in a slightly mocking tone: "Now that we are surrounded by thirty-seven noble mages outside, we are very worried about the consequences of their anger in case it comes, and I have also heard about your killing of the heir of the Duchy of MedrΓ³n, although I think there may be some misunderstanding in this, but just as I am not a believer, our family's territory is not a place of refuge for the Holy See, so please leave!"
Speaking of this, he waved his hand and made a very powerful gesture, then his gaze turned back, swept over the cheeks of the Evelyn priest and the others, coughed lightly, and said, "Of course, innocent ladies can stay, and I will treat them well." β
"I have a better way to deal with this. "It's Andy who chases.
"What's the solution?" the young man didn't look very good after saying this, he seemed to have smelled the lingering civilian breath on the young man's body, and couldn't help but wrinkle his nose in disgust.
Andy calmly drew his sword and said, "Duel." That way we can all save some water. β
Alfred watched calmly, and did not stop it, nor did he say anything.
"Youβwhat are you?an Templar swordsman's apprentice?maybe not even an apprentice?" the young man was surprised at first, then said contemptuously with disdain, "You are really not qualified. β
"It's always easier to use your mouth than your hands. Andy looked at the other party with a provocative gaze, waved his sword, and said, "There are thirty-seven mages watching in the sky, maybe tomorrow your deeds will spread throughout the Great Plains of Vernes." β
"Oh?" the young man's eyes lit up.
"Young master, don't promise him......" Hu saw from the knight that the young man was a little moved, and suddenly felt that it was not good.
"Why not? The young man took a step back and drew his sword as well. Wave left and right, and say loudly, "None of you should help." β
Alveret raised his eyebrows and looked at the sword in the young man's hand, and then looked at the middle-level mage badge on the other party's chest, he couldn't help but think of some rumors about the mage's subordinates, in order to raise money and the daily consumption of the mage, some nobles can use money to buy the mage badge, this young man's steps are vain, and the muscles of his limbs can't see what training he has undertaken...... He shook his head and said, "Andy, don't be too heavy. β
And at this moment, at their feet, at a depth of five meters underground in Volarburg, no one expected that there was a wide space here that was large enough for a thousand people to stand, and the light of the five teleportation arrays appeared and disappeared under the reflection of the torch.
With a violent fluctuation of the teleportation array in the middle, a white-haired young man wearing a high-level mage robe walked out, he tidied up his clothes, walked to Luo Lan, who was already standing in front of him, bent down and saluted, but there was not much respect on his face, and said with a smile: "Brother Landiston, contemptible Abner, specially came to greet you." β
Luo Lan glanced him up and down, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are Master Abner, who is known as the crown of genius, I heard that you were a middle-level mage when you were fourteen years old, and you also declared that if you can't get the title of mage, you will never be promoted to a high-level mage." β
Abner said with a hippie smile: "Where, that's just an excuse for me to put gold on my face, so that even if I am always a mid-level mage, no one will say anything, I am actually a lazy person, I came up with this method in desperation, I didn't expect it to be very easy to use after trying it." β
"Really?" Luo Lan was noncommittal, but smiled meaningfully at the other party, and said, "Master Abner is really an interesting person. β
Abner laughed and shrugged, "Looks like you're not here to talk about me." β
Luo Lan snorted and said in a deep voice, "Are you ready?"
Abner said in a low voice: "After receiving a letter signed by His Majesty the previous Pope Sidinoeux. The Elder took this matter very seriously, and specially instructed Master Ryder Noisa to handle it himself, as you can see, everything was prepared according to the plan, and in order to hide the eyes and ears of the False Dough and the Dark Council, this time he sent a genuine grandson. β
"Yes? I'm afraid you've been cultivating this stand-in since you were a child. β
Abner said with a sad face: "I have been cultivating for seventeen years, and I am indeed related by blood, and there are still a bunch of troubles waiting for me to deal with the aftermath." β
Luo Lan knows very well that this so-called grandson is just used to hide people's ears, many big nobles in order to avoid unnecessary harm to the heir, will secretly arrange another identity of the heir, and on the surface is just a stand-in, as for this time, to deceive the false dough and the dark council, so that they mistakenly think that they and the mage will have a conflict, then of course they must first deceive their own people, it is impossible not to pay a price.
Abner asked cautiously, "How many people are you going to take to the temple this time?"
Luo Lan said lightly: "Three people, me, my Servant Mage, and Boris Knight. β
Abner took out the three scrolls and handed them over, saying, "Then please go first, Master Lednoisa is already waiting over there." β
Luo Lan nodded, and while taking it, he casually asked, "Have the people from the Knight Alliance arrived?"
There was a certain desire to enter the battle on Abner's expression, and he heaved, and said: "They have arrived in advance, this time they even dispatched a great knight, the people of the masked will not be able to fight against the elite of the monks we have secretly assembled this time, even with the assistance of the Dark Council, the elder said, for the sake of the situation on the mainland, try to solve all the troubles at once!"
