According to Count Tara Khan's estimates, Eric must be very willing to marry his daughter.

He, the Border Count, is not yet the top figure in the entire kingdom, but at least he is already a first-class boss. When several counts are united, they can break their wrists even in the face of the king. A mere royal nobleman, the heir of a civil official family, if he can marry his own daughter, he can at least fight for twenty years less.

Of course, it is impossible for the royal nobles to switch to the camp of the local nobles, but a royal nobleman who marries a local powerful earl can become a bridge between the two sides, and in the future, when coordinating the relationship between the two sides, he can play the role of a lubricant and a peacemaker. This identity may not be able to hold great power, but the status will be very high, and he will definitely be able to gain fame and fortune.

Is there a better option for a young person?

Not to mention that his daughter is also a lover of magic, and it can be said that it is a happy thing for a young magician to find a woman who also loves magic as a wife.

Young people always have many romantic thoughts in their hearts and are eager to find someone who has a common language to spend their lives with. However, the older the wizard's world becomes, the stronger it gets, and whether it is powerful magic or rare resources, it is often for the old magicians to enjoy first, and the rest can be the turn of the young - women are no exception.

Most of the female magicians from commoner or minor aristocratic backgrounds are the mistresses of the old magicians, and those of noble birth will be accepted as students by the old magicians...... Anyway, it's not the turn of the young magicians who don't have a good background.

Eric is not very old, and his sorcery attainments are not very high (Sleepless has only shown his talents in magic arrays, alchemy, and enchantment), although he has some special skills, but in the field of magicians, spells are the root of everything, and everything else is only a side branch. The reason why he wants to go out and wander around may be because he is proud of his talent and offends those young people who are both talented and have a background......

In general, these ideas cannot be said to be unreasonable, just a little bit...... In the words of the Internet age, it means that I read too many novels and open my brain too much.

This is like Mr. Lu Xun's famous article on moral criticism - from seeing a woman's short sleeves, you can quickly associate it with illegitimate children...... You can't say that his associations don't make sense at all, but compared to the reason, his groove circuits must be a little problematic.

The same goes for the Earl of Tara Khan.

He didn't think about the possibility of Eric's rejection at all, but Eric refused, and the reason for refusal was still so righteous and bright that no one could find fault with it.

Looking at Eric with a sincere regretful smile on his face, the Count couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

(What kind of family is this kid from?, so strict!)

He had the intention of letting his contract demon try to read Eric's heart, but when he thought that the other party was also a professional magician, he gave up this unrealistic idea.

Since things can't be negotiated, all that's left is really to eat and drink.

After a full meal, the Count finally collected his mood and decided to get down to business.

"Your Excellency Eric, I have a very important commission here. "Recently, an adventurer saw suspected demon worshippers in a valley south of the city of Tara Khan. I would like to entrust you with a detailed investigation to determine the authenticity and make a response. ”

Sleepless had already thought about this possibility, and showed a look of surprise and righteous indignation: "What?! There are still demon worshippers near Tara Khan City? Could it be that they made that altar last time?"

His eyes were full of murder, and he looked like he was about to run to fight the demon worshippers: "No problem! We're going to investigate! Please give us a copy of the relevant information." ”

The Count laughed, and although things didn't go exactly the way he thought, it wasn't bad to have such an ending.

Eric and his friends are powerful and have a bad relationship with the demons, so it would be a good choice for them to go and fight the orphans of the Loka family, who are suspected of summoning His Majesty Ramer, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman themselves.

And...... He had long been uneasy about the presence of such a powerful group of adventurers near the city of Tara Khan. This group of adventurers is powerful, but they seem to have no desires. They go crazy on all sorts of missions, sweeping away all monsters and bandits, but they don't seem to be looking for much of a position of power, and they don't seem to care much about wealth - in general, they seem to care more about "adventure" itself.

No lord would like such a person, this kind of person is not easy to control, it is a double-edged sword.

In particular, Count Tara Khan's own identity is in question, and he can bet that once the fact that he is a demon contractor is revealed, Eric and his companions will definitely come over without saying a word, and may even bring hundreds of priests with them.

In such a battle, it would be difficult for the Tara Khan family to win. Even if he narrowly wins this game, the king will definitely use this as an excuse to attack. At that time, the Tara Khan family, which was greatly injured, would definitely not have a chance to escape, and would definitely be knocked to the dust, and might even be completely wiped out on the charge of colluding with demons!

Therefore, Count Tara Khan has long thought about killing Eric and his gang.

Taking advantage of this opportunity in front of him, let Eric and his gang fight with the orphans of the Loka family, and then the dead soldiers secretly cultivated by the earl will take action to eliminate the surviving side, and eliminate the two unstable factors at once, which is really a double win!

Although he thought so in his heart, the count made a worried expression on his face, and advised: "You don't need to be in a hurry, this matter is not trivial, you must be cautious." ”

"Be cautious? In the face of demons, of course, you must be cautious. But that's a battle thing, and before you can fight, you need to speed up and find them. "Every day of delay, the demon may grow stronger." They may transform animals into infernal creatures, plants into ogre trees, and ordinary people into ferocious and powerful half-demons. It is even possible to build an altar that opens the gateway to hell...... Your Excellency, this matter really cannot be delayed, it must be dealt with as soon as possible!"

“...... You have a point, then I will prepare the soldiers under the command of Tara Khan for battle. As soon as you find out the conclusive information, we will send troops at once!" said the Earl solemnly, asking his secretary to bring a copy of the information and give it to Sleepless.

Sleepless glanced at this information and showed a slightly anxious expression: "This matter is not trivial! Your Excellency the Earl, I will retire first, because I have to rush back as soon as possible and arrange the relevant matters." ”

"No problem, I wish you all the best. ”

Looking at the figure of Eric saying goodbye and leaving, the Count couldn't help but smile and laughed happily.

He didn't know that Sleepless had already posted a sentence in the chat channel when he turned to leave.
