Chapter 45: The Duke of the Blue Wolf
After dealing with Sinclair, Richard and Reilly returned to the main building of the castle to see Baron Fontaine.
"Huh, you're going to break through?" After entering the baron's bedroom, Reilly quickly noticed the change in him: "It seems that our lord Baron will soon become a powerhouse of the 'Sanctuary', which is really gratifying." ”
The baron lay on the bed and said with a smile: "I just experienced such a big war, and I can't say anything without some progress, right?"
Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "This time, most of your elites have been reimbursed, will there be any problems?"
Baron Fontaine's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and said: "If someone wants to come and pick up the bargain, then he will find himself very troublesome!"
Reilly thought for a moment and said, "I can lend you three hundred water elementals to guard the castle at dusk." ”
Baron Fontaine's heart was overjoyed, and said, "Thank you very much!" With his eyes, how could he not see the value of the Elemental Legion? On Lake Windermere, three hundred water elementals were completely capable of destroying ten times the number of ordinary warriors. With them, the Baron would no longer have to draw local defenders to strengthen the defenses of Dusk Castle.
"Anyway, when will the Baron get out of bed?" asked Reilly, looking at Essien beside him.
"I have already treated the Baron, and I will be fully recovered in just two days of recuperation. Essien replied.
"Well, then, let's not disturb the Baron's rest. With that, Reilly walked out of the baron's bedroom.
Although the war is over, the work of cleaning up the battlefield will be going on for some time. Richard recovered more than fifty pieces of broken structure from the Bear Rider's body, which could be reused with minor repairs. He thought about it for a moment and decided to give three of the costumes to Baron Fontaine to strengthen his friend.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Richard had his troops withdraw from Castle Dusk and settle down in the barracks of the Baron. All the wounded were brought together and treated by Quicksand, Essien, Cass and York. It seems that the Divine Favor has long anticipated a fierce battle in the near future, and has prepared a batch of low-level Divine Scrolls in advance, although the effect of these minor injury healing techniques is weak, they can quickly stabilize the injuries of the warriors, and lay a good foundation for subsequent healing.
When night fell again, Richard left Dusk Castle alone and found the brood. Although it was not used in this battle, Richard did not underestimate the role of the brood. Without Reilly, the brood would be his biggest trump card.
After seeing the brood, Richard gave it all the magic crystals he had collected during this time. With these resources, the Brood's ability to create combat units has been improved again, and a new class has been added. It was a group of human-like creatures, small in stature and agile, especially suitable for fighting in the mountains and forests. These soldiers develop a flake of bone armor on their backs, which can produce a powerful crossbow if thrown within a hundred meters.
With these things done, Richard sent the brood back to the Land of Turmoil, leaving only forty fangs behind.
Another day passed, and the reinforcements of the Duke of Blue Wolf were late. The leader of this force is one of the three "sanctuary" under the Duke's command: Lord Moon Bear. He hurried with two hundred elite cavalry, and on the way caught up with the envoy sent by the Duke to meet Richard.
Lord Moon Bear was about forty years old, and he was dressed in silver-gray heavy armor, and his usual weapon was a two-handed axe. Lord Moon Bear brought with him a group of cavalrymen dressed in chain mail, which combined mobility and defense. On the whole, the combat effectiveness is quite good.
However, after seeing this batch of reinforcements, Reilly could only smile and say nothing. Lord Moon Bear's troops had no magicians and only two priests. If such a lineup encounters Hinkrell and Bear Rider in the wild, it will most likely usher in a tragedy.
Lord Moon Bear and the Duke met with Richard in the barracks to confirm the results of yesterday's battle.
After seeing the mountains of corpses, the arrogant Lord Moon Bear showed a solemn expression, and he even examined several corpses with his own hands, without any regard for the filth and stench around him. The more he looked at it, the more serious Lord Moonbear's expression became, and the original contempt and suspicion gradually disappeared from his eyes when he looked at Richard.
The messenger of the Duke of Blue Wolf was an elderly knight with impeccable aristocratic manners. During the conversation, he told Richard about the history and customs of the dukedom, but said nothing about the latter's origins. Sir vaguely mentions the matter of the build, and advises Richard to hurry up and deal with the aftermath of the war and meet with the Duke as soon as possible.
Two days later, Richard and his party arrived at Deep Rock City, where Duke Blue Wolf lived.
Richard left the large army in the barracks outside the city and entered the city himself with more than a dozen escorts. At this time, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came to the face, and more than a dozen cavalrymen galloped towards the city gate. The cavalry shouted loudly, avoiding pedestrians and vehicles ahead. However, the main road into the city was full of people, and there was a difference in speed and slowness, so how could they all dodge? However, none of the cavalry running at full speed accidentally injured the pedestrians, and showed extremely superb riding skills.
Reilly sat on the back of the Kodomon and looked at the cavalry from afar. Each of them has the strength of level eight or above, and they all exude an awe-inspiring murderous aura all over their bodies, obviously a group of veterans who have really experienced the war.
At this time, Richard also glanced at the cavalry, and then exchanged vague glances with Reilly.
For this meeting, the two had done a lot of preparation work in advance, so they both knew that the cavalry just now was an official member of the Blue Wolf Knights. However, the number of the Blue Wolf Knights is as high as a thousand, and if even the lowest cavalry has this level, then its strength is quite terrifying.
The Duke's envoy settled Richard and the others in an inn, and then rushed to the Duke's castle to make an appointment for a meeting. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Richard not to leave the inn and to wait for news from the duke.
The next morning, Richard and Reilly had just had breakfast when they received news of an appointment with the Duke of Greywolf.
This time, Richard was not in a hurry. He first put his meter in a meticulous manner, and then unlocked the magic circle on the sealed box under the watchful eye of the messenger. The process took nearly half an hour, but the messenger showed no impatience or rush Richard.
Before unlocking the magic circle, Richard pointed to the box and said to the messenger, "This is a necessary measure to keep the magic pattern construct strong. Once the box is opened, the mana stored in the build will be drained, so it can only be opened before meeting the Duke. It's a long process, and you can't afford to keep the Duke waiting, right?"
The envoy was impressed by Richard's words. In addition, although he is only a small knight, he has been in high society for decades, and his eyes are very vicious. The sealed magic box in Richard's hand was worth three thousand gold coins for materials and workmanship alone, and the final selling price of magic items was often more than three times the cost. Using a box that can sell more than 10,000 gold coins on the market as a container is enough to explain the value of the item inside.
After doing enough, Richard asked Minnie to hold the sealed box, and then took Reilly, Erin, Quicksand, and more than a dozen retinues to Duke Wolf's castle.
In a meeting room, Richard met the Duke of Greywolf, who was also a big man in the whole of Faro. He was a little thin, but with a wide frame, he still looked quite imposing.
The duke had a neat mustache, and his narrow eyes occasionally flashed with a gleam. His power is completely restrained, and he does not bring any sense of oppression. Obviously, the duke's control of power has reached a relatively complete level. That's why he was able to gather all his strength into his body without the slightest leakage. However, when the duke's gaze swept over, Richard had a feeling that he had been completely seen through from head to toe, which surprised him.
Restraining one's own aura and seeing through other people's power levels, these two secret methods are extremely practical, and there are hundreds of different schools inherited in the Norland continent, with different effects. However, the secret method that can achieve the effect of Duke Blue Wolf, even if it is placed on the Norland continent, is a first-class inheritance.
Seeing this scene, Reilly's heart was awe-inspiring. He had never taken the Faro plane lightly. After all, this is a high-level plane that can breed legendary powerhouses, and if there is no dragon god system, Reilly is just a young genius.
The title of genius only means that he is more likely to become a strong person than ordinary people, and it has no practical significance.
A strong person must be a genius, but a genius may not necessarily become a strong person.
