The knight leader was quite surprised, he was also from a noble background, and he had heard about Mark's situation. As far as he knew, Mark had a talent for magic, but the chances of becoming a magician were extremely slim.

"I'm Kuman Balin, and I've come to Honglin Town to collect the lord's tax on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor!" The knight leader spoke slowly, introducing Evan.

Ewen gracefully replied, "Evan, servant of His Excellency the Baron. Knight, are you from the Bahrain family? ”

"Not bad." Cuman nodded.

Evin suddenly showed a look of vigilance, the Bahrain family, like Viscount Kebby, is from the Sivin family. Before, Evan thought that Mark would be able to ask the two families for help, but after Lem was killed, Evan understood that these two families were not allies, but two hungry wolves who could turn against their masters at any time!

"Lord Evan, please take me to Lord Baron." Cuman dismounted from his wildebeest and straightened his armor.

Cuman followed behind Evan, and as he walked, his steps were large and his body was straight, like a spear. Cuman's expression was grim, unsmiling, and his eyes were full of murder. Experienced people will know at a glance that this man has killed many people!

The Baron's Palace was not large, and soon, Cuman met Mark.

"Master, this knight's name is Cuman Balin, and he is from the Bahraini family......" Evan whispered to Mark.

Mark nodded, and he sat motionless in his magic robe.

"I've seen Your Excellency the Baron!" Cuman saluted slightly.

"Knight Cuman, I already know what you're here for." Mark's voice came from under his robes, "You and Evan go get this gold coin." ”

Mark had already verified his status as a magician in the nearest city, and according to the rules of the Empire, he was given a thousand gold coins. At the same time, Mark must also respond to the call if the Reich needs him.

Mark didn't care. He was a nobleman in his own right and was obliged to fight for the Empire.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your cooperation." Cuman nodded, and when he was about to leave, Cuman suddenly said, "Your Excellency, with your arrival, a few golden-eyed bees have also settled in the Red Clay Ridge, which is really worrying." ”

"Golden-eyed bees?" Mark looked at Cuman as he departed, pondering his words.

"Kuman's words are certainly not casual, he and I are meeting for the first time, and judging by his temperament, there is no reason to say nonsense. So, what is he implying about? ”

Mark is a sane and ruthless man, and even without Viscount Kebby's betrayal, he would not have expected anything from the Bahrain family. Of course, he would not take it for granted that the Bahrain family, like Viscount Kebby, would harm himself.

"The Bahrain family has been operating in the Red Clay Ridge for hundreds of years, and their heritage is not comparable to that of Viscount Kebby. Moreover, such a family generally does not participate in the internal struggle of the Xiwen family, so it must be more difficult for Horner to win them over than Viscount Kebby! In this way, Cuman may not be hostile to me, so what does his last sentence mean? ”

Mark thought for a long time, but had no clue, and when Evan came back, he asked, "Evin, what does Cuman mean by golden-eyed bees?" ”

Evan thought for a moment and shook his head blankly.

Suddenly, Evan shouted, "Master, I remember!" ”

Mark motioned for him to continue.

Evan recalled, "This golden-eyed bee seems to have something to do with Lord Horner. Lord Horner had spent a long time in the Attani Forest, and this Golden-Eyed Bee was a magical beast of the Attani Forest. ”

Attani Forest?

Mark recalls that the Romans occupied most of the Romanes, but there were still many parts of the Continent that were not under the jurisdiction of the Romans, and the Attani Forest was one of them. The Attani Forest was located in the northern part of the Romance Empire, where it was wooded and mountainous, and shrouded in a thin mist all year round. This fog is poisonous, so the Atani Forest is rarely frequented.

"Yes, Horner used to play in the army, and was stationed in the Altani Forest for ten years!" Mark remembered, too.

"That's it, and that's it! Horner had just taken the throne of the patriarch, and with countless pairs of eyes on him from all over the family, he would definitely not be able to attack me directly. In order to kill me, Horner first sent me to Redwoods, and then took the job of Viscount Kebby. The situation is similar to that of the Bahrain family and Viscount Kebby, and the people of Horner must have reached out to them as well! ”

Mark's heart suddenly brightened, the so-called golden-eyed bee should refer to Horner's men. When Cuman told Mark this, he was telling him that Horner had already done it, but that their Bahraini family was not on Horner's side.

"It seems that the Bahrain family wants to remain neutral, so it's okay, the strength of the Bahrain family is much stronger than Viscount Kebby."

Thinking about this, Mark put aside the affairs of the Bahrain family.

"Horner sent someone to contact Viscount Kebby, intending to kill me by his hand. Viscount Kebby is a fifth-level warrior, and he can crush Red Forest Town alone. ”

Mark was very worried in his heart, once Viscount Kebby made up his mind to do things for Horner, then he would be miserable. The difference in strength between the two is too great, and Mark doesn't even have the possibility of escaping from Viscount Kebby!

"Evin is too weak, Pierce has no potential, Morey has potential, has quality, but doesn't have time to grow." Mark thought about the strength of his subordinates, smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was a dignified traverser, and he didn't even have a subordinate who could handle it, and Mark felt ashamed to be mixed up with this.

"It took me more than six years to go from a magic apprentice to a full-fledged magician, and I am afraid that I would not be able to become a magician by now without the adventure of Death's Kiss. And how long will it take me to go from a first-level magician to a second-level magician? ”

Mark felt that with his qualifications, relying on penance, he might not be able to become a second-level magician in ten years.

The cultivation of a magician consumes resources very much, and with Mark's current situation, he simply does not have enough resources to support himself to become a second-level magician.

"If the original father is still there, then resources shouldn't be a problem. With the resources mastered by the Xiwen family, not to mention second-level magicians, even if it is third-level or fourth-level, it is very easy. Now, it's up to me to grab the resources on my own! ”

A cold light flashed in Mark's eyes, and his heart began to plan.

In the eastern part of the Roman Continent, on the vast sea, more than forty black islands are rapidly approaching the shore. Those black islands were six or seven meters out of the water, and they were full of Gutis. Each of the Gutis was more than three meters tall and muscular, carrying a black stick more than four meters long.

"Whoa......

The waves of the black island rushed to the shore and swept away the trees and stones on the shore.

"Coo-goo-goo-......goo-

......The black island crashed into the nearby ocean floor with a loud roar, and then the Gutis scrambled to jump down and strode towards the shore. At this time, those black islands seemed to have woken up, and dozens of huge heads emerged from the sea, which was very hideous and terrifying!

If someone sees this scene, they will be able to recognize that these black islands are the fifth-level Demonic Beast Dire Tortoises!

The Dire Tortoise is a fifth-level magical beast whose only characteristic is its enormity. An adult dinosaur tortoise can grow to more than thirty meters in its body, which is larger than many high-level magical beasts. Moreover, the Dire Turtle is an amphibious monster, so it is the most suitable to use as a boat.

With the size of a dinosaur tortoise, each dinosaur can transport nearly a hundred Gutis people, and these more than 40 dinosaurs have transported more than 3,000 Gutis people to the Roman Continent at once!

There are more than 3,000 Gutisi people, each of whom has at least the strength of a first-class warrior, and their destructive power is definitely not to be underestimated!

Soon, the Gutis people swept the eastern coast of the Roman Empire, and more than 40 dinosaurs were more than 40 indestructible war machines, and the coastal towns and small towns were completely vulnerable in front of the dinosaurs. Gutis was cruel and murderous by nature, and none of them lived a life. In less than three days, more than a dozen towns were dead in ruins.

News of the arrival of the Gutisi soon spread, and many along the coast began to retreat into the interior of the continent.

No sooner had the second snow ended, and Hoodles saw that the road east of the town was crowded with people.

"What's going on?" Huddles was very curious, Honglin Town was just an ordinary town in Hongtuling, and Hongtuling was sparsely populated, so the population of Honglin Town was naturally not large. Moreover, Honglin Town is not a major traffic rush, and few people usually come. Hurders was of course surprised to see so many people at once.

Hoodles reports the situation to Evin, who in turn tells Mark.

"These people look like refugees."

Mark stood on the stone house and looked into the distance, hundreds of people were connected to each other, lined up in a long line, towards Honglin Town. Seeing them old and young together, dragging their families and mouths, and being dusty, they are simply fleeing.

"My lord, what are you going to do now, let these people into the town?" Hoodles asked.

"What do you think?" Mark asked rhetorically.

"This, there are at least seven or eight hundred people from outside, and the food in our town is only enough for ourselves, if these people enter the town, it will be a mess." Hoods said in a low voice, as the mayor of Redwoods, he must consider the interests of the people of Redwoods.

Mark was not interested, neither Redwood nor these refugees were of little value to him. For something of no value, Mark doesn't want to be distracted to pay attention.

"It's up to you and Pierce to decide." With that, Mark went back to his lab.
