The next morning, Victor and Nicole summoned Lilia, Nelson, and Sheriff Munk to explain to them the transfer of lordship's power.

"My visit to the Kingdom of Neville this time will be relatively long, and it will be two and a half years at the earliest. ”

Victor looked around at the military head, political head, and security head of the Randall family, and said slowly: "As usual, during my absence, the family's internal affairs, military affairs, and security affairs are all in charge of Lady Nicole. The three of you are only accountable to Lady Nicole and cannot interfere with each other. ”

"Follow your wishes. The three of them said in unison.

Victor nodded in satisfaction and said to the sheriff, "Monkey, you go down first." ”

"Yes. My lord, ma'am, I will retire first. ”

The monkey bowed to Victor and Nicole, took a few steps back, turned to leave the chamber, and closed the door with his hand.

"Now that business is over, it's time to talk about the lord's travel...... Hmph, what is the distinction between public and private, if you are not at home, I will hand over the security affairs to Lilia. ”

Nicole glanced at Victor, pushed a letter in front of him, and said coquettishly, "This is the list of my followers, you can see if there is anything that needs to be revised." ”

Victor just smiled at Nicole's little trick to buy Lilia, he picked up the letter, quickly skimmed through it, and said, "Let Alina accompany me, Alice will stay in Silvermoon Manor, and Shirley and the other little noble maids will also stay...... On this trip, I had to survey the terrain in the field in Neville, and I couldn't do it all. Neville is not Gambis after all, and there must be precautions. ”

"Good. Nicole took the letter, redrew it with a quill, and said, "Klaus, Brandon, and Caligula lead 20 lord attendants...... Gru, Renault, and Shak led 40 Swiftbird light cavalry, 100 cavalry, and 100 escorts...... Alina led 20 sword-wielding maids, 30 chambermaids, and 120 servants." She looked up and asked Victor's opinion, "Is it okay?"

"So be it. ”

Victor nodded, noticing that Lilia pursed her lips slightly, and her two plain white hands clenched and released, and asked, "Honey, do you have anything to add?"

Lilia glanced up at Victor, then lowered her head and said softly, "I want to go too...... I haven't accompanied you on a trip yet. ”

Nelson immediately roared, "What are you going to do, you don't even have the ability to protect yourself, and you're causing chaos for adults...... Stay at home honestly!"

Lilia was startled by her brother's fierce appearance, and tears glistened with tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry. In her impression, her brother is usually very doting on herself, rarely loses her temper, and every time she gets angry, it is related to her life safety, and she cannot be disobeyed.

As it turned out, Lilia was in charge of Randall's stewardship and knew everything about family affairs, but she was neither of noble blood nor strong in her own right. Now, the Great Lords of the Kingdoms are interested in the secrets of Randall's prosperity, and Lilia Randall is the easiest and most valuable target to capture.

If Lilia had disappeared in Neville, the king of Neville would have appeased Viscount Randall's anger with a few officials' heads and a large ransom, but it was all worth it for the great nobles of Neville. Even, even if the Neville people don't make a move, the great lords of other kingdoms may be ready to move.

The audacity of the lords and nobles must not be underestimated!

Nelson may not have had a clear grasp of this, but he was keenly aware of the danger. After all, he had killed a court count with his own hands.

Nicole got up from her seat, walked to Lilia's side, took her arm and walked out, comforting as she went: "Dear Lilia, if you run away, what will I do? Besides, when you arrive in Neville, he will go to the field to survey the terrain, and you live in the royal capital of Neville, and you still have to separate from each other...... Yes, yes, I know you used to camp in the wilderness, but look how good your skin is now......"

The footsteps of the two women faded away, and Victor sighed softly. Nicole and he have a deep relationship, but they don't care about the difference of a few years. Lilia is now in her prime, but she is aging one day, so she cherishes the time she spends with Victor. This is the natural divide between extraordinary knights and ordinary people.

Theoretically, the Soul Blood Secret Method can improve the strength and life level of ordinary people, but the possibility of completely eliminating this natural divide is very small. The main reason is that it is too difficult for ordinary people to master the state of life and death, and it is impossible to succeed without thirty or forty years of hard practice, and even if they succeed, the practitioner will also enter the twilight of life, and it is difficult to say how much effect the Soul Blood Secret Method can have on him.

In fact, the Soul Blood Secret Method designed by Victor using X-3 and the Golden Toad Secret Form is very unfriendly to ordinary people, but is more suitable for knights who are born to ignite the fire of the soul. In contrast, Nelson's idea of simulating the concept of esoteric forms is more valuable for popularization. However, the potential of the idea of simulation is limited, at most it is for the cultivator to ignite the fire of the mind, and the physical fitness can reach the level of a third-level holy warrior, if you want to go further, it depends on the cultivator's personal talent and luck.

This is normal, and it is strange that ordinary people and geniuses are the same.

Of course, the Soul Blood Theory has only been born for more than half a year, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Victor is eager to draw knowledge from the wizards of the Kite Castle and the Church to further refine the Psychic Bloodline.

Lilia is not only Victor's woman, but also his right-hand man. Victor secretly decided to design a set of secret methods for Lilia that can stay alive and long.

Nelson doesn't have so many ideas, his sister is now in power and pampered, and he's already satisfied with being an older brother. Nelson was more worried about the safety of the sovereign, he scratched the back of his head, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, I always feel that something is wrong...... Why don't I go with you?"

Victor laughed and teased: "I'm not going to fight, why am I taking you there?" Besides, you can't even fight Aka now, what's the use of you going?"

"Aka is rubbish!" Muttered Nelson indignantly, "Even the mountain ape can play him around...... Bai Chang is so big, if he really wants to encounter a battle, I estimate that an ordinary soldier can kill him. ”

Nelson once locked Caligula and the two male mountain apes in the Colosseum in order to hone his will to fight, but the next day, Nelson saw the blue-nosed and swollen mountain ape cowering next to Caligula to catch lice...... It turned out that Caligula beat the mountain ape miserably just by passive defense, but he had no desire to kill the mountain ape. The clever mountain ape chose to surrender to Caligula.

The mountain ape has sharp teeth and claws, and its strength and physical strength far surpass that of ordinary soldiers, but the simple-minded mountain ape does not have the wisdom and will to fight of human soldiers...... Or rather, cunning. If a soldier attacks Caligula from behind with a fine iron spear and stabs him in the vital point, he will be killed.

In hand-to-hand combat, life and death are often in an instant, and any hesitation and mercy are extremely fatal. Just like Nelson, he was reluctant to kill a silver knight, facing the golden knight, he had no chance of survival, but the golden knight would definitely die if he was cut off in the head.

If you really want to fight to the death, ten Caligula is no match for Nelson.

Victor nodded, and Masase said, "Nicole is still in the accumulation stage, and I don't want her to be promoted to the Silver Knight in advance." You must stay and help Lady Nicole cope with the unforeseen. ”

Seeing Victor's deep dark eyes, Nelson's heart sank, and he agreed, "Yes!"

"Don't worry about me...... There are only a handful of people who can subdue me in the wild, and they have a great reputation......"

Victor touched the Manticore's Antidote Bone Bead and Purple Gold Coin Amulet hanging on his chest, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Your worries are not unnecessary...... It is necessary for me to prepare a force to respond in secret...... You have Hammer send 120 Elite Guardians to Warhammer Camp 4. In addition, I will transfer 30 war mastiffs to the mountains and forests near Camp 4, and you will have the cottage nodes along the way signposted. ”

Hammer's five smuggling caravans are dedicated to trading with Baron Garrot of the Kingdom of Neville. In order to facilitate supplies and rest, smuggling caravans surrounded the homeless and mountain people, and built several cottage camps at key nodes of the trade route. Isolated and secluded under the direct control of the Randalls, the camps were inaccessible and risky without the help of smuggling caravans.

Camp Warhammer 4 is located deep in the mountains and forests on the border of the Barony of Garrot and the Rante Empire, and contains 17 alchemy militias, 31 alchemy auxiliaries and more than 300 ordinary villagers. They were mainly engaged in collecting wild fruits, pickling preserves, farming and raising pigs, practicing martial arts, and training archers. At a critical moment, Warhammer Camp 4 was able to pull out more than 100 armed forces.

Although Warhammer Camp 4 is not located in the Neville Kingdom, it is the closest supply point to the Randall family to the Neville Kingdom. With the mobility of the Spirit Monkey Militia and the Alchemy Mastiff, they can sneak into the Carkinathan Grand Canyon from Camp 4 in just over 30 days at most, and can give Victor strong support.

"Good. I'll go to the Hammer boy and ask him to get ready, and lead the team to set off and sign it himself. ”

Nelson had just turned around when he was stopped by Victor.

"Oh, don't worry......"

Victor paused, lowered his voice and asked, "Do you remember the wizard who was burned to death in Blackcastle six years ago?"

"Yes, he's a gardener, and his name is Will. Nelson remembers the purification ceremony in Castle Blacktown's church square vividly, and said with emotion: "When he was purified by the priest with holy fire, the devil in his body took his original form. It caused vines to grow on the stones, and it uttered a vicious curse, saying that you would fail...... What an evil guy!"

"Evil...... Well, wizards are evil ......"

Victor coughed dryly, knocked on the table, and said softly, "Nelson, you are my most trusted subordinate, I might as well tell you that the Great Lords want to raise wizards...... Lady Sylvia was always very sorry every time she mentioned Will the Gardener...... If the Yorks had found out beforehand that the gardener was a wizard, they would have kept him in hiding...... He might be able to improve the prickly kidney bean, feed countless civilians, or give rise to various herbs...... I even think that if it weren't for the fact that things were too big, the church might have chosen to secretly imprison Will the gardener rather than burn him in full view. ”

Nelson's eyes widened, and he stumbled and asked, "Big ...... Your Excellency, Your ...... I, our Randall family...... There are wizards too?"

"It's not that there are any, but that I want to have ......"

Victor's jaw said, "I mean, Randall's territory is getting denser and denser, and there may be wizards. If you find a wizard among the people of Randall, try to protect him and deal with him when I return. If the wizard's abilities are useful to us, I will nurture him, and if not, I can send him to some clergyman...... Actually, the big families do just that...... For example, if a wizard can make your son as powerful as you, what do you choose?"

"I ...... I ......" Nelson's face wrinkled into a mess, just like he was in at the moment.

Victor scolded: "Anyway, if there is a wizard in Randall, don't be stupid and report it to the church, it will leave Pastor Dane with no room to maneuver, understand?"

Hearing this, Nelson's tangled expression became very strange, and finally he relaxed again, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, I listen to you. ”

Victor said, "I've talked to Nicole, Lilia, Monkey, and the village chiefs individually...... In order to prevent the evil wizard dog from jumping over the wall, causing serious harm to the people, or causing panic, the Randall family set up secret contact points in various villages and towns, following the traditional practice of the extended family. Once the public discovers a wizard, they must not publicize it, but must quietly report it to the village chief, who will report to the liaison, and then there will be a special team to secretly screen the target and carry out secret arrests. All you have to do is pretend that you don't know, eliminate the influence of the army, the security station, and the villagers, and strictly prohibit your subordinates from spreading rumors and slander and spreading rumors. ”

Nelson breathed a sigh of relief, slapped his chest thumping, and said, "Don't worry, my lord!

Victor lowered his eyelids and said lightly: "In three years, the population of Randall will exceed 180,000, and no one can say whether there will be wizards among them." You have to remember that wizards have nothing to do with you, so don't involve yourself and Lilia...... Let's go down. ”

"Yes, my lord!" said Nelson with a fist in the chest, giving a military salute and smiling.

Victor looked up and asked in surprise, "What else is the matter with you?"

"This ......" Nelson salivated, leaned forward and whispered, "My lord, what if...... If only there was one kind of wizard who could help my son increase his strength...... Can you?"

"Isn't this nonsense? I have such a wizard in my hands, and will I stay until now?" said Victor with a laugh.

"If you find this kind of wizard ...... later"

"Are you a wizard and a lettuce in the ground?
