Chapter 3: The Shadows (II)

Behind the Baron Castle is a huge enclosed martial arts training ground.

On the steps of the wide martial arts training ground, a stout man and a sturdy young man were going back and forth on the stage, fighting together.

The stout man wielded his two-handed greatsword, swept the air, and burst into a sharp wind.

Not to be outdone, the sturdy young man flexibly shuttled through the dead corner of the giant sword, and the short sword in his right hand quickly stabbed at the vital point of the thick man's body, so that the big man often swung half of the sword, and he did not withdraw to defend.

Hearing the movement at the gate of the martial arts training ground, they all stopped in unison.

"It's me, Edward!"

Under the lilac cloak, Edward walked in, dressed in an aristocratic suit.

"Greetings, Lord Edward!"

The stout man and the sturdy young man leaned over slightly and shouted in unison.

"Cassiso, Walter. Don't take it too seriously, everyone's in a bad mood these days!"

Edward waved his hand, signaling them not to be polite.

The stout man Casiso Dewey and the sturdy young Walter Jonah, who belong to the Lord Dewey and Lord Jonah families, are known as the two red mastiffs in Baron Hufflepuff's captivity.

In this nickname, the mastiff represents the ferocity of the Dewey family's frontal attack on the enemy, which is as ferocious as the mastiff; The hounds, on the other hand, reveal that the Lord Jonah family has the ability to track and ambush like hounds on the side.

Edward's memories of being an aristocratic child, Cassiso and Walter, who were the direct heirs of the Red Mastiff Retriever family, accompanied him.

Now, Edward, who learns of the conspiracy of the dark mage and the captain of the guard, immediately contacts these two childhood companions and loyal subordinates.

After listening to Edward's story, Casiso and Walter were shocked!

As a family of retainers who have followed the Hufflepuff family for hundreds of years, the mysterious magic mirror in the old baron's study is no secret to them.

"But why would Captain Ferex do this?"

Walter spoke, a little confused.

Hearing Walter's words, Edward also frowned.

An old baron's trusted cronies, after the old baron's death, not to mention his own feelings for the master's family.

According to the normal situation (not counting Edward, who opened the main god plug-in), for a long time in the future, Ferex's official knight rank will be the highest force in the territory. In this magical world where personal force dominates, a strong man whose physical fitness is more than 5 times that of ordinary people, whose fighting spirit is shrouded in the whole body, who is unbreakable, and who can break down the thousand-man army formation with his own strength, will undoubtedly be one of the most powerful people in the territory in the future, and his actual interests in the territory will basically not be damaged by the change of the lord.

What is the great temptation to betray him?

Suddenly, the mysterious mage named Rasmussen appeared in Edward's mind.

"If you want me to say, Walter, don't think about it so much!"

Casiso pulled out his huge two-handed greatsword in his right hand and shouted angrily.

"Rebels should be killed!"

A gruff voice interrupted Edward's thoughts.

But Casiso was right! Why think so much! Whoever betrays should disappear from this world!

Edward put aside the idea of pursuing it for the time being. After the successful suppression of the rebellion, the loser naturally has a way to deal with it!

"But, Ferex is an official knight after all! There is also a full-fledged mage-level helper, with our strength, it is completely an egg to a stone, Master Edward, we should immediately go to the stable, rush to Pollit City, the capital of Lane County, and seek the help of His Excellency the Governor!. ”

Walter came back to his senses, his tone was anxious.

"Don't be in a hurry, Walter."

"Although I can't deal with them for the time being. But there should be no problem in delaying the arrival of the envoys of the royal court and the parliament. ”

Edward's tone was confident. If it really doesn't work, he will hide in the main god space, hehe, those two formal professionals who are only evaluated as first-order, can they still find him?

"Act as soon as possible and be loyal to my power・・・・・・"

He arranges the aftermath ・・・・・・ (how do you feel weird to use the word "aftermath")

――――――――――――――――

Looking at Edward's back in the distance, Walter lowered his right hand on his chest and stood up straight.

"Cassiso, I don't think we should persuade Young Master Edward, after all, it's too risky for him to stay in the territory!"

Walter's face was a little hesitant.

"Don't worry too much! Walter, you should trust the young master. Cassiso said with a look of reminiscence, "After all, from the time we first met when we were kids, he didn't do anything he wasn't sure about!" ”

"But we should also be prepared for what happens." Walter was still frowning.

"Isn't it?"

Cassiso was stunned for a moment, but then nodded solemnly.

――――――――――――――――――――――

In Lane County, the basement of the traditional aristocracy usually houses the family's most important wealth. The Hufflepuff family is no exception.

In the basement of the Baron Castle.

An eerie and dark atmosphere envelops everything around us.

Edward carefully avoided seven or eight hidden magic traps and made his way to the side of the marble wall on the far right of the basement.

Gently turning the Hufflepuff family crest in a hidden corner there, and rhythmically tapping the emblem on it.

"Whew!" There was a soft sound.

The secret door in the wall suddenly opened. Edward dodged in.

It was a secret room about the size of his bedroom. As soon as he stepped inside, magical flames automatically ignited around the chamber, illuminating the small space.

Directly in front of Edward, under the chains on the top of the chamber, hung several sets of graceful and natural, delicate and elegant magical armor from the Arcane Empire.

And on the floor of the secret room, tens of thousands of Welsh gold coins shimmered seductively under the illumination of magical flames.

Edward ignored the magic armor and the large pile of gold coins.

Although the magic armor of the Arcane Empire was powerful, it was unfortunately not a piece of equipment that could be used by mages, and it was specially designed for knights.

In the leftmost corner of the chamber is a two-meter-long chest.

Finally found it!

Edward breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, and reached out to open it.

Five palm-sized purple translucent magic crystals emitted a strong magic factor into the air.

"Lord God, absorb them!"

As Edward threw five magic crystals into the main god space.

"Ding!"

Faith points on the character dashboard have increased by 1000.

The message of the faith point becomes like this in an instant.

Faith Points: 1306

Five purple magic crystals, one adds 200 points.

Edward nodded to himself. It seems that I will have to do more of this stuff in the future!

However, with the current energy, the upgrade of the first stage should be enough.

"Let's start the first phase of the completion upgrade now!"

Edward meditated in his mind to the Lord God.

"Upgraded, Edward."

"After upgrading to the first stage, the main god's basic teleportation function has been revived."

"The plane positioning module, the space-time bridge module has been preliminarily launched!"

The voice of the Lord God is always so calm.

"Oh? You mean, I, like the reincarnation in the infinite novels of my previous life, can travel through the world? ”

Edward's voice was slightly agitated. After all, as a great main god, the previous main function was actually only one attribute system and a hidden safe house and large warehouse function. It's so disappointing.

The main god who can travel through the world, that is the main god!

"Yes, but although the plane can be crossed, with the current situation, we don't know what kind of world we can judge in advance."

"We can only roughly judge the danger of the plane through the fluctuations of the energy of the life form in the time line of that world." The Lord God replied calmly.

Alas! It's actually a random crossing of the gods! It's a rudimentary setting.

Edward was no longer able to complain.

But no matter what, with the basic energy fluctuation judgment, it will not teleport to any Death Star black hole, high martial arts and high demons, and even the world where the golden immortal is not as good as a dog.

Moreover, anyone who has read infinite novels or time-traveling novels knows it.

There is a time lag between worlds. It is possible that years have passed in one world, and in the original world, only a few minutes have passed, or even less.

Edward had apparently thought of this as well.

"You're right!" Before Edward could ask the Lord God for confirmation, the Lord God directly confirmed his thoughts. (After all, they are the same true spirit, and to some extent, they can have the same mind.) οΌ‰

In that case! Edward pinched his chin slightly with his hand, his head bowed in thought.

If I can go to a world that is very different from this magical world, even if there are no valuable items in this plane, but after crossing over, I can get enough time to cultivate, what if that・・・・・・

Edward is already a senior mage apprentice, as long as he can break through the threshold and become a full-fledged mage from a high apprentice, then Ferex's rebellion is not impossible to confront head-on.

I was ordinary for half my life in my previous life, so I'm going to fight this time!

If you become an official mage, you still can't beat it, and it's a big deal to hide back in the main god space. No matter how you calculate, you won't lose, what am I afraid of?!

Edward thought of this and made up his mind.
