"Odysseus is the closest barony to the city of Agamemnon in Niforheim, bordering Agamemnon and Muspelheim respectively. There are four villages and one important town in the territory, which mainly produce the furs and meat products of various domestic monsters. Agriculture is not very developed, but it is a good one. The annual production of wheat and barley is enough for the people to eat and sell it for tax money. ”

Lu Ming sat on the chair, carefully watching the letter of appointment that he and Kanina had been sent to him after they had bought the bow and returned home, while listening to Sham's introduction to his territory.

"So, what are the shortcomings of this place?" After listening to Sham's introduction, Lu Ming put the letter of appointment in his hand in a box and asked.

"Well, the only bad thing is probably that it's too close to Mount Charon in Musberheim!"

"Is there anything there?"

"A bunch of centaur bandits!"

Lu Ming paused slightly, and then asked, "Robber?" ”

Sham nodded, and continued, "Yes." Centaur bandits. They live in a secret cave in the Caron, and usually make a living by robbing the barons of Odysseus. The previous lord of Odysseus was killed by them with an arrow when he led his soldiers to resist them! ”

"So I have to be careful with them?"

"Yes!"

Lu Ming glanced at the map of Errebos that was hung on the wall by Sham, and after a while, he asked, "Didn't Muspelheim make efforts to clear out those bandits?" ”

"Unfortunately, because the centaurs have always been on the Nivelheim side, Muspelheim has no intention of eliminating the centaurs. And if we in Nivelheim were to send troops to clear out the centaurs, it would be seen as an attack on Muspelheim. Two counties will be at war! So if we want to wipe out those centaurs, we can only hire mercenaries with questionable character. ”

"Character problem?"

"A mercenary and a soldier are two different things. A soldier is a soldier who is dedicated to both the lord and the people of his territory. And the mercenaries are just a group of souls who ask for money, and whoever gives more money will do things for whomever they want. The problems of the population are not taken into account at all. So in general, the nobles would rather be passive on the defensive than hire mercenaries. Only some merchants will hire them to protect their goods, but there are often cases where mercenaries take money and kill people to steal the goods. ”

After hearing these things, Lu Ming only felt that his future was bleak, and it was not as simple as he thought.

Seeing that the whole person had turned gray, Sham immediately walked up to him, sat in his arms, and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to worry so much at all. Relying on the strength of the two of us, it is actually very easy to deal with those centaurs. If we ambush one wave, they'll be nothing more than a bunch of legless horses! ”

"I'm not worried about those centaurs, what I'm worried about is what the Grand Duke wants to do by letting Her Royal Highness the Princess go to my territory?" Holding Sham's bumpy and delicate body, Lu Ming smiled slightly and said.

"Yes. In any case, you shouldn't let Her Royal Highness go to your barony. He did this, saying that he had no intentions, and it was hard to believe. ”

"I suspect now that he actually wants to use those centaurs to kill Her Highness the Princess, and then blame us."

"He'll be able to make my loyal father his scapegoat, and it's very likely that you'll be punished by the royal family in his place!"

At this time, Lily knocked on the door, walked in, kissed Lu Ming, and said, "Our princess Her Royal Highness was sent over by Viscount Hedis. ”

Lu Ming and Sham glanced at each other, then immediately stood up, tidied up their clothes, and then went to see Princess Ella.

As soon as he walked to the living room, Lu Ming saw a little girl about the same age as Kanina sitting on the sofa in his house. The clothes on her body are gorgeous, and her temperament and appearance are also noble. But it's the type of personality that looks like a little witch no matter how you look at it.

"The baron of Erebos, the lord of Odysseus, the sword-biting wolf Lu Ming, has seen Her Royal Highness the princess here!" According to Mira Kaisa's etiquette, Lu Ming bowed like the princess.

"The golden dragon of Mirakaisa, Ira Unos. It's a pleasure to see you again, my teacher! Princess Ella sat up as well, nodding slightly. But what she said made Lu Ming slightly stunned.

Lu Ming, who didn't know what was going on, sensed a hint of conspiracy, and immediately said, "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness the Princess, I don't know what you're talking about." And isn't it a bit that you use 'you' to address your ministers?"

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Viscount Saldaro.

"Lu Ming, Her Royal Highness the princess came to Erepos to learn soul magic. But you also know that people who can do this kind of magic are dead. Therefore, I can only learn the soul magic of the flange system with you. ”

"My magic is the magic of the Flange Fortress, and it's more combat-oriented magic. Is it really good to let Her Royal Highness the princess learn? ”

Princess Ella suddenly grabbed Lu Ming's clothes and said expectantly: "Whether it's Pihaime's magic or Fran's magic, I want to learn!" ”

Looking at Princess Ella, I don't know why Lu Ming seemed to see the shadows of two people. One is Yusaha and the other is Miral.

"Magic" sighed slightly, and the momentum on Lu Ming's body changed, like a giant wolf biting a sharp sword, so that Saldalo and Princess Ella couldn't help but take several steps back.

Lu Ming, who was terrifying, looked at Princess Ella coldly, no longer whispered like before, but asked very seriously: "My course is very strict!" Do you really want to learn the magic of the Flange Immortals? ”

Like the two women who are obviously not very talented, but are very persistent in learning magic, Ella is also very persistent.

She nodded heavily, and said very seriously: "Yes! I really want to learn soul magic! Please teach me! ”

After speaking, she bowed to Lu Ming.

Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't say anything more. After all, the other party is a princess, and if he makes the other party angry, he will be the most unlucky in the end.

"Then, come with me." After thinking about it carefully, Lu Ming took Ella, Saldaro, and one of Ella's guards and his own daughter Kanina to the basement.

In the same basement as the tournament field, Lu Ming took two wooden swords and two Pulu-native magic wands to Ella and Kanina, intending to let the two girls test it to see how strong Ella and Kanina were.

Before that, though. Lu Ming first married the two of them how to use the flange short arrow. And with the same weapon, he demonstrated the combat method of the undead mage with Saldaro, a second-order fighter.

I have to say that although Saldalo is a power-type fighter, under Lu Ming's attack, he was also suppressed for a short minute. As he began to fight back, Lu Ming also began to fire flange short arrows.

At the moment when he blocked Saldaro's attack with his sword, Lu Ming would put his magic wand against Saldaro's vital point every time, and used a flange short arrow, which made Saldalo have to hurriedly retreat and dodge. Otherwise, his body would be pierced by Lu Ming's flange short arrow!

In the end, this demonstration ended with Lu Ming's flange fast sword cutting off the wooden sword in Saldaro's hand.

"I suppose you guys already understand, right?" After Ella's guards pulled aside Viscount Saldaro, who was frightened by Lu Ming's Flange Sword, Lu Ming looked at Ella and Kanina, who were already dazzled, and motioned for the two of them to get ready to start.

Learning the undead etiquette before Lu Ming and Saldaro began, Kanina and Ella saluted each other before attacking each other.

What Lu Ming didn't expect was that Her Royal Highness Ella, the princess, had a lot more strength than Kanina. Almost as soon as it began, Kanina was pressed and beaten. But after Kanina gradually learned how to use flange short arrows from repeated failures, the situation was completely reversed.

But for some reason, Ella, who wants to learn from her art, is not like Kanina, who quickly mastered the Flange Short Arrow into her own hands. She fights more like a warrior than a mage.

"What do you call it?" Lu Ming, who was holding Pihaim's magic wand in his hand, looked at the guards on the side.

"Knight, Angleigh."

"Knight Angleigh, has our princess studied magic before?" Because of Ella's fighting style and obvious swordsmanship routines, Lu Ming couldn't help but ask the guard.

"I'm sorry, Lord Baron, but Her Royal Highness has not studied magic before. Her apprenticeship was just a temporary idea. ”

"Because of what?"

"Because of the heroic posture you fought in the Typhon Forest that day!"

As soon as he heard this, Lu Ming remembered the noble and luxurious carriage that was besieged by the Smurfs: "It turns out that the person who was besieged by the Smurfs that day was you."

"Yes! Her Royal Highness the princess's faux pas before, please don't take it to heart. She just doesn't know the rules of the nobility and doesn't mean to humiliate you. ”

"I can't help it. Isn't it? Lu Ming suddenly laughed and said half-jokingly.

Angrei heard that there was not much anger in Lu Ming's words, so he pressed his heart. smiled: "Thank you for your generosity." I hope you can really teach Her Highness the princess magic and make her happy. ”

"What? Do you like Her Royal Highness? Lu Ming couldn't help but smile evilly when he heard what he said, and asked jokingly.

"Oh~ How does this situation feel a bit like a knight novel?" Before Angray could speak, Viscount Saldaró on the side continued: "A loyal knight who has finally married back a princess. Live happily ever after. ”

Angel Ray's face turned red with a bang, which made Lu Ming and Saldalo laugh. Kanina and Ella were so attracted by the laughter of the two of them that they stopped fighting.
