Chapter Forty-Seven: The Pervasive Conspiracy
Horse racing, hunting, barbecue......
It was the third day of leaving Taronmere, and the nobles had a very pleasant life in Mount Talon than in Taronmere, even better.
Song Zheng's small life was also good, and he also had the same treatment that those young nobles had.
Sitting around the campfire in the starlight, eating barbecue and drinking wine, he was now a new nobleman, and even his walking posture had changed from the habitual obscenity of thieves to elegance.
However, despite hiding in the mountains and forests, the news of everyone is not closed, and there are people in the families of these nobles who bring the latest news every day.
"Daylin Prodmore has left Southsea Town, bringing with him a full five thousand elite troops, which is almost half of Kul Tiras's troops, and it seems that the admiral is really angry." Karen's age and status are relatively high among these young nobles, and his status as a knight captain is also a real power position, so there is still some authority among these people.
"Can this not be angry, Gianna is his only heir, alas, if Gianna had married His Highness Arthas, maybe in the future Kurtilas would have been incorporated into our Lordaeron...... someone whispered.
"Yes, I don't know why His Royal Highness didn't agree to marry Gianna, could it be that Lordaeron can find a better woman than Gianna?"
"That's right, that's a genius beauty mage, if a beautiful beauty mage can be by me, it will be enjoyable to think about......" A handsome aristocratic child showed a lewd smile.
"As long as you can be promoted to a full-fledged mage, it is almost equivalent to the treatment of a baron, and if you inherit your father's title Orlando, maybe you will have a chance to find a female mage, otherwise don't think about it." Someone next to him laughed.
"Cut, can't I become a mage too? Wait and see, in less than two years I will be a real mage! The young nobleman named Orlando sneered.
"Forget it, at your level, you still want to be promoted to a full-fledged mage, you learned a lighting technique after five or six years in Dalaran, and you can't even release a fireball and still want to be promoted to a full-fledged mage?" The surrounding aristocrats immediately burst into laughter.
"It's better than you, at least I still have some magical talent, you guys can't even feel magic in your life, it's really sad." The aristocratic kid named Orlando immediately retorted without showing weakness.
Song Zheng was completely speechless when he listened to the mutual ridicule of these noble children, this is completely a group of unlearned waste, although Karen's guy is a little timid and afraid, but it seems that he is a rare talent in this group of people......
"It's not long before the war with the orcs is over, and the human kingdom has already begun to decay......" Song Zheng secretly sighed in his heart.
However, at this moment, the topic of discussion among the children of the nobles has shifted from women to magic, which makes Song Zheng also a little interested.
Although these noble children do not learn and do not know how to do it, they can't stand the backstage hard enough, even if they don't have any magical talent, their families generally invite magic teachers when they are young, so most of them know a little about magic, and can speak a few words of elven language.
Some wealthy aristocratic families even prepared a complete set of magic robes and wands in advance, and even prepared extremely precious magic books.
In front of him, the aristocratic boy named Orlando had already taken out his own magic book to show off.
"See, I've already copied seven kinds of magic in Dalaran, and the spells and spell-casting techniques of each magic are worth at least a thousand gold coins."
When Song Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but think of the black ** law book he stole from him, which recorded more than ten kinds of magic, and if it was calculated, it would be worth at least tens of thousands of gold coins.
This made him happy in his heart, he didn't expect that he had stolen something of value in his hand, and if he had the opportunity to sell it in the future, then he would no longer have to worry about gold coins.
Of course...... The resurrection magic of the last few pages must be torn out before it can be sold.
Just as Song Zheng was secretly happy, the noble child named Orlando unexpectedly crowded to his side.
"I heard that Mr. Song Zheng recently got a magic book? I wonder if you can show us? Orlando asked with a grin.
"No, I'm not a mage, so how can I have any magic books." Song Zheng sneered, although he tried his best to make a calm expression, but in his heart, there was a wave of turmoil.
"Mr. Song Zheng has been following His Highness Gianna's side, it is impossible that he does not understand magic, right?" Orlando still stared at Song Zheng and asked.
"I really don't know magic, I can't even feel magic, I'm just a person who runs errands for Her Royal Highness." Song Zheng laughed at himself.
Although the barbecue in his hand still exuded an attractive aroma, he had completely lost his appetite, and soon found an excuse to leave the group of noble children.
After walking a certain distance, Song Zheng immediately burrowed into a dense forest, and when he looked back and saw that he could no longer see the group of nobles at all, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to hurriedly take off the bright knight armor on his body.
When the heavy armor was taken off, he realized that his back was already soaked with sweat.
He had never told anyone that he had a magic book on him, not even to Bridget and Sally, and the aristocratic kid named Orlando suddenly asked him about the magic book!
"Damn the Church of the Damned!" Song Zheng cursed secretly while hurriedly discarding the useless things on his body.
Since returning to Talummere, the continuous comfortable life has diluted his vigilance against the Church of the Damned, and it is only now that he has rediscovered that the believers of the Church of the Damned are likely to be by his side!
"If Orlando is a believer in the Cursed Church, then I'm afraid the people of the Cursed Church have already quietly set up a trap......" Song Zheng couldn't help but think of the situation when he was attacked that night, when he was also camped in the wilderness, and then a team of thousands of people was slaughtered, and even Gianna was missing.
It seems to be the case again......
Those who curse the church are indeed pervasive, and it is very likely that they themselves have been promoted to knight lieutenants, and it is also the same people of the cursed church who are secretly pushing to get him out of the city!
Thinking of this, Song Zheng couldn't help but feel cold in his hands and feet, if it weren't for Orlando's exposed feet, I'm afraid he wouldn't even know how he died in the end.
And now, even if he is aware of these conspiracies, it is very difficult to leave safely.
