Half a year of continuous fighting and calculations made Gray a little tired physically and mentally, and he did not see anyone in the few days he returned to his castle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The young lord needed to rest, and he needed to think about the gains and losses of this time.

This war touched him greatly, and although he was victorious, this victory made him very uncomfortable, and he felt that the Earl of Lockton and the Archduke de Rooney were like two mountains, and he was overwhelmed.

He hated the feeling.

He didn't even care about the riches that the Earl of Lockton had given him, and he thought that these things were simply the props that the Earl of Lockton and Viscount Booker laughed at him.

For many days that followed, Gray spent every day except for knightly training, spending the rest of his time with his wife, and Cateri coming by from time to time, and she had not given up on the idea of becoming a knight.

It wasn't until November 15 that Gray finally entered his long-lost office study, where he summoned Rena to hear her report on the battle outside of Moss.

In the past few days, this new nobleman has been in a hurry, and she will run to the castle basically every day, asking to report the battle process of Moss Town in person, but she is politely refused by the steward of Rennes.

Gray took Rena's report very seriously, and he first invited Thor to his castle for a meeting.

Thor didn't refuse, he had been waiting for Gray's invitation in Harrence City, but he didn't expect the wait to be half a month.

Even some time ago, Neysha approached Sol and asked him to persuade Gray, but Sol politely refused Neysha's request, because he knew Gray very well, Gray had a strong self-esteem, and he didn't like the comfort of others.

"Did you catch Bal?" Gray asked, facing Thor not to beat around the bush.

Thor didn't hide it either, and told Gray the truth directly.

Gray stared at Thor seriously, "I'm still saying that, this person must be eliminated, there is no room for bargaining!"

Thor shrugged, "You know, Jenina is stubborn, and she has a high status in the Arcane Order, I want you to talk to her first, what do you think?"

This was all the conversation between Gray and Thor for this meeting, and soon, Jenina, who had been staying in Harrens City without leaving, came to the castle and met with Gray.

This meeting was not as pleasant as some time ago, and the Taqia knight who was outside the study even led the guards to rush into the study twice, but was scolded by Gray.

"Lady Jenina, since there is one Bal, there will be a second, a third, or even a fourth! Can you guarantee that his disgusting magic won't be used by other, more disgusting magicians?" Gray had lost his patience.

"Viscount, please watch your words, magic is not disgusting!" said Jenina.

Gray snorted softly, apparently spitting at it.

Jenina raised her eyebrows and continued: "His magic is very valuable, for example, one of your soldiers is about to die, through the exchange of a substance, he is instantly energized, you can imagine how exciting it is, your soldiers will not be afraid of death, their charge can make your enemies fearful!"

She began to tempt Gray with this aspect.

"Equivalent exchange, ma'am, as a magician, do you need me to remind you of such a simple truth?" Gray kept his due calm.

As if she hadn't heard Gray's words, Jenina continued, "Let's put it another way, if your soldiers are exhausted during the battle, and at this time, a magician next to you will exchange a kind of material in exchange for the soldiers to regain their strength, which will undoubtedly make your troops more powerful!"

"I hate using magic in the troops!" Gray remembered those goddamn magic traps.

Jenina visibly caught a hint of relief in Gray's eyes, "But, Viscount, your enemies, they will not have such thoughts, magic can make their army overwhelming!If you agree to leave Baal in charge of our Arcane Order, I promise that you will gain the friendship of our Secret Order, and I can even make the mages of the Secret Festival serve in your army!"

The mage served in the army? Gray even thought he had misheard.

After all, the training of a mage is not as simple as a soldier's, it takes them nearly ten years just to learn the basic knowledge before they can come into contact with magic and magic circles.

Moreover, with the continuation of human world civilization, most of their inventions are closely related to people's lives, such as ripening agents in the farmland and low-cost production of white bread, all of which were discovered by magicians.

So, no one had the luxury of throwing a mage into war.

"Of course, you'll have to set up a branch base of the Arcane in your territory!" Jenina added.

Gray, who had seen the advantages of magic on the battlefield, did not take this request to heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you guarantee the loyalty of these magicians, just as my soldiers are!"

Jenina shook her head, "I'll let them join your army, but their loyalty depends on you, Viscount Cage!"

Hearing this, Gray leaned back and plunged his entire body into the couch, his right index finger tapping lightly on his knee.

"Barr must die, I must let the soldiers see his death, or fear will creep in their hearts!" Gray finally said.

Anger flashed on Jenina's face, and Thor, who had not spoken beside him, immediately understood what Gray meant, and he hurriedly whispered a word in Jenina's ear.

Her face immediately showed joy, "Of course, I will give you a satisfactory answer!"

With that, Jenina had already stood up and used teleportation magic to leave.

"I don't want to see Baal again, you know what I mean!" Gray said to Thor, who was half a friend of his again, with an irresistible tone in his tone.

"Of course, the Secret Law Society prison is very strong, and I think that even the demons of hell can't escape!"

There are absolutes in the world, and Gray has to say, "I hope so!"

...

On November 20th, the citizens of Harrens City, most of them, gathered in the huge square outside the castle, where their lord will today execute a monster that can only be heard in ghost stories.

The announcement had been made on the Hallens City bulletin board a few days ago, and the monster in the iron cage had been parked in the square for days.

The reason why I have been preparing for so many days is to create a torture instrument suitable for this monster.

After deliberation by the castle officials, they created a huge torture instrument with a halved cut, the principle of which was simple, a huge axe-shaped sluice knife embedded in two pillars.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Gray, surrounded by the knights of his family, slowly walked out of his castle to the execution ground where he was watched, and he personally cut the rope that bound the sword.

When the sluice knife fell, the monster was cut into two pieces in the blink of an eye, and suddenly, crimson blood gushed out like a tide, and the internal organs were scattered all over the ground.

After Gray did this, he was stunned, ignoring the disgusting or excited expressions of the citizens, and turned to leave the execution ground.
