CHAPTER XXXIII

There was a scene of delivery in front of the clubhouse, and soon everyone knew that the moonshine wine was made by the young mage.

So, before Donald's carriage returned to his manor, all kinds of information about Donald's personal identity and family background were quickly sent to the tables of those who cared.

It turned out that the creator of the moonshine wine was not only a mage, but also a hereditary nobleman, and he was the summoner's apprentice who had previously defeated the Black Iron Mage and caused a sensation.

Moreover, the life experience of this mage can be regarded as very bumpy. Decades ago, the Merina family was a hereditary nobleman with a territory in Northshire, but unexpectedly lost their fief and lost their property, becoming a down-and-out nobleman, and this person was assassinated by a well-connected organization not long ago, causing several chaos in Boulder City.

And now, this genius apprentice has officially become a true mage with great potential.

If he is just a down-and-out nobleman who has lost his fief, not to mention how many such down-and-out nobles there are, there are as many as three digits of court nobles who don't have fiefs in the kingdom alone!

A nobleman without a fief is really nothing in the eyes of those so-called big people, a bed bug that can be twisted to death with one finger!

- But now, considering that Mr. Donald is not only a full-fledged mage with a foundation, but also a rare summoner!

Such an identity is enough to make this mixed boulder city, although there are many people with hot eyes, but they have not made too out-of-the-ordinary moves.

Of course, this does not mean that the "big guys" are afraid of Donald: in addition to considering the context of the target, it is also because the interests are not enough to make them put aside all scruples.

Therefore, these forces did not adopt the methods that they used to deal with commoners or petty nobles with no background, and had to wait for other opportunities. This behavior is different from that of some who see Donald as a thorn in their side.

However, the fact that Donald, a genius mage, should not be reckless, does not mean that these forces will stop there: since we can't move your people, then we can figure out how to make the wine recipe.

So after just one day, the outside of the Night Manor was almost "surrounded" by spies released by various forces.

But what they didn't know was that the entire manor was already shrouded in the natural enchantment of the Tree of Life within a radius of two kilometers in diameter, and from the first time the spies secretly entered the enchantment range, they were discovered by the Tree of Life at the first time. And the Tree of Life, in turn, transmitted these situations to Donald as he wandered around the manor through psychic induction.

The appearance of the first spy did not attract Donald's attention - but then more and more figures flickered around the perimeter of the manor, and some of the daring ones would spied into the manor like flies in blood. Even if nothing had happened so far, the casual prying eyes had already annoyed Donald.

On the bright side, his manor has received so much attention, and the forces behind him who want to assassinate him should also die down temporarily. Otherwise, not only will they expose themselves to almost the entire North County forces, but they will also attract some potentially powerful enemies.

Presumably, those high-ranking forces in North County, who are too lazy to rob for the sake of reputation, are more willing to uproot this hidden force behind the scenes for Donald, and exchange it for the secret recipe of wine.

So while Donald was preparing in advance, he also ordered the Tree of Life to enter a state of readiness, and then exerted plant activation ability on the plants outside the farm, and countless tentacle-like weeds and vines grew wildly, imprisoning several spies who crossed the line and throwing them out of the manor.

This movement reminded the spies of these various forces that their target was not a small nobleman who was not an ordinary non-professional!

This is a mysterious and powerful mage!

Although his stealth skills can hide from ordinary people and low-level melee professionals, it is difficult for those mages with many means to escape the other party's induction.

So these low-strength spies were all concerned and didn't dare to act rashly, so they had to wait outside the manor, monitor the movements inside, and then report to their superiors as soon as possible.

For these spies whose level strength does not exceed the Black Iron Rank, Donald only needs to use the Book of Truth to summon a few summoned creatures, and he can easily solve them all, but doing so is undoubtedly a declaration of war with all the forces behind these spies, although Donald is not afraid, but he doesn't want to cause so much trouble, so he only sneered in his heart and said:

"I'll let you go for the time being, and when my plan is completed and I have enough strength, I will naturally be able to make the forces behind you dare not have any more intentions against me!"

Frightened by the spies, Donald instructed the butler to begin preparations for the banquet that would take place tomorrow.

As a nobleman, the necessary communication is very important, and the thought of accepting an invitation in the Manor of the Red Maple Baron last time, although he was interrupted by two nasty guys, also brought a lot of bets for himself.

With the manor as his foundation, Donald plans to hold his first banquet as well.

He didn't want to just be a mage, no matter how strong his personal strength was, there would be places that he couldn't take into account, and becoming a powerful noble lord was the best way to live.

Just like the threat he faced this time, if he was a noble lord like Baron Red Maple, who had a wide range of contacts and occupied a place in the upper echelons of the Northern County, then in this era of peace, even if the other party wanted to deal with him, he would have this and that scruples.

The assassination of a full-fledged lord of the kingdom and the assassination of a single mage have very different effects on the entire kingdom of Celt. Not to mention the assassination of a lord, what will those who empathize with the upper echelons of the kingdom feel, the power of public opinion alone will force the kingdom to give an explanation of what happened to the murdered lord.

Even if it is a member of the great nobles, they will choose to sacrifice the former ally in order to appease the people's grievances and dissociate themselves completely.

However, as a nobleman, if he is also ignorant of the world like those mages in the club, devoting himself to cultivation and research, and it is difficult to get out of the door once every half a year, then he will inevitably be out of touch with the aristocratic circle, which is very detrimental to the future development of his plan.

So a banquet was imperative, and the invitation on behalf of the Merlinna family was delivered to the guests of this invitation, Baron Red Maple and Sir Jesse, that afternoon.

The reason why these two candidates are not good, Donald has his own plans. It would be good to invite all the nobles in the neighborhood to participate, but the manor has not yet been fully built, it can't accommodate too many guests, and he basically has nothing to do with those nobles, so it's not good to rashly make an invitation.

Baron Red Maple is the only on-the-spot nobleman near his manor, and the relationship between the two families is complicated, although they are not good friends, but they will not be hostile, so on the surface, they must make such a gesture to make Baron Red Maple feel at ease. This time can be regarded as a return for his banquet last time.

As for Sir Jesse, he is the one that Donald thinks can be befriended, although he is only an honorary nobleman with a lifelong title, but the power in the other party's hands is not small, and he is very familiar with the situation of the kingdom and the relationship between the nobles in various places, and he is a talent with management ability. Maybe in the future, there will be some use for him.

And at present, except for these two, the nobles he knows should not be friendly, and most of them are enemies of the Merlinna family, so Donald has few other options.

Moreover, after getting acquainted with these two nobles who have traveled widely, he will also reveal his situation to the surrounding nobles, which will also be convenient for him to make friends with other nobles in the future.
