"Lucy, what is our Lord Tony doing?" said Lord Francis, who enjoyed the gentle service of the beautiful sorcerer's maid, with his hands under the hem of the maid's robe, and after taking a sip of the red wine that the beautiful sorcerer had spent in small sips of cherries, he remembered something.

"Lord Tony has transferred the ownership of the quarry to Viscount Adrian, the lord of Stormwind, in order to save his beautiful steward in Stormwind. Lucy, the beauty magician, picked up a piece of fruit, carefully peeled it, and brought it to the Viscount's mouth, allowing Francis to take advantage of him with both hands, but replied naturally.

"So easily did he give up his interests?" Francis obviously didn't expect Meng Han to deal with it like this, and couldn't help frowning: "This is too stupid, isn't it?

"Will you give up your property for me?" Wizard Lucy's bright eyes rolled flexibly, and she immediately asked a question like this: "For example, the property of the bathroom in your hand?"

"What do you say, beauty!" Although Francis is a gentleman, he is at the level of a grandmaster when it comes to guessing the minds of beautiful women. Wizard Lucy asked like this, obviously appreciating Meng Han's ability to give up his property to save beauty. However, as a family heir, he must have an absolute choice between beauty and property, so Francis can't answer directly, but he goes around in circles. At the same time, his hands were more forceful, hugging the beautiful magician tightly, and then a fierce kiss sealed her lips.

Soon, the beauty magician is lost in Francis's long kiss, and there is no longer the shrewdness she used to have. It seems that Francis's answer is also automatically understood by her as: "Of course it will!" The beautiful woman who has obtained psychological satisfaction immediately falls into Francis's more crazy warmth, and no longer thinks about anything else.

"Father, what do you think about the affairs of Huangsha Town?" While alone with the Marquis, Francis finally got rid of the entanglement of the glamorous magician's maid and began to discuss with his father seriously.

"He doesn't have the ability to protect himself. Lord Marquis said the biggest problem that Meng Han is facing now in one sentence, and then Lord Marquis added: "He is not a person who does great things, for the sake of a mere woman, he will give up the basic principle of cooperating with us, such a person is not worthy of more attention on him." ”

"However, the Academy of Magic and His Majesty the King still think highly of him. Francis again brought out the reason for the last time: "He can also instantly use three different magic shields." ”

"Important?" Lord Marquis sneered slightly, "So, do you think that in this incident, whether it is the Academy of Magic, or His Majesty the King, where did they show their importance to him? Or do you think that the Academy of Magic does not know about this? His Majesty does not know about these things that are happening in his territory?"

"This!" Francis thought for a moment, and suddenly felt that his father was right. According to the performance of the Magic Academy and His Majesty the King before, if they really valued Meng Han, they would never do nothing and watch something like that happen. After thinking about it for a long time, Francis still couldn't let go of why they paid so much attention to Meng Han before, and couldn't help frowning and asking: "But, father, ...... before"

"Before was before. The Marquis seemed to know what his son was thinking, and he was very pleased that Francis had brought back such a huge property after a trip to Huangsha Town, and because of this property, even Francis, who had always been gentle, knew that he would not work women but seriously consider all kinds of things, and this change was what the Marquis would like to see. From this point of view, the Marquis was even grateful to the Lord Antonio of Yellow Sands, whom he had never met.

However, this did not mean that Lord Marquis would use his strength to fight for Meng Han. This world is very realistic, even if you have wealth, you must have the strength to keep it, otherwise those so-called wealth are just a flash in the pan. Meng Han just didn't understand this, so he ended up today. However, his experience is the best experience and lesson for his son.

"It's now!" said the Marquis, and Francis listened quietly.

"I sent someone to the Academy of Magic to find out. The Marquis was very satisfied to see that Francis listened to his teachings so carefully: "That Baron Antonio is just a so-called scroll base that can increase the success rate of scroll making, and he can't even make the simplest magic scroll. Moreover, these so-called scroll base levels are still very low, and can only be used for level 1 and level 2 magic. ”

"Doesn't the Academy of Magic want to learn these things?" Francis listened to his father's instructions, and seemed to understand something. But I didn't really understand it, so I couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, of course they do!" said the Marquis's face with a somewhat disdainful smile, "However, these are only the genius of that Antonio in magic, he can never become a magician, and can only make the simplest scroll bases." Even if others want to learn, they can't learn it. ”

"In that case, Antonio should also be useful to them, why didn't they help him?" Francis still didn't fully understand, and continued to humbly ask for advice.

"What is the benefit of supporting him? Why don't you wait for him to have nothing and are desperate before recruiting him, let him directly become a member of the Academy of Magic, and make scroll bases for them all day and night?"

"I chose him as a staff member. Francis replied without hesitation.

"The people of the Academy of Magic think the same thing. The Marquis smiled and threw a word at Francis.

"Then the reason why His Majesty values him is also because of the Academy of Magic?" Francis finally understood, and immediately thought of another key.

"Of course, increasing the success rate of magic scroll production means that our principality's magic scroll reserves have increased and its combat effectiveness has increased. Of course His Majesty the King does. The Marquis asked for his surname and once said all the considerations of the upper echelons: "However, he is a nobleman after all, even His Majesty the King cannot deprive him of his territory like this, even if he has not yet revealed this trait, he must be given a Huangsha Town." But now that the conflict between him and the Stormwind City Lord has escalated, then, as long as everyone watches him being devoured by the Stormwind City Lord and has nothing, and then reaches out to help, he will be grateful and weep, and then work for the principality wholeheartedly. ”

So everybody watched them rub against each other, but everybody watched and didn't make a move. Francis cleverly took the rest of the analysis: "Anyway, in the end, as long as he is left alive when he is most in danger, the duchy will get a useful person out of thin air." I see, father. ”

The Marquis listened to Francis's follow-up analysis and nodded with a smile.

"But what about the relationship between him and the elves?" Francis remembered one more thing, these were the advantages of cooperation with Meng Han that he considered at the beginning, but now they have all become Meng Han's weaknesses, and they will be defeated in one attack, leaving only the last relationship with the elves.

"Have you ever seen when the elves actually helped him?" asked the Marquis, and Francis was immediately speechless. The news from Steward Donald is indeed that he has never seen the elves make a move.

It's no wonder that Meng Han's contact with the elves was all in the elven forest, and when they came into contact, how could those elven clan bigwigs tolerate unrelated people appearing around? That is, Donald didn't send someone to follow him, otherwise his manpower would have been dead and bones would have been gone. It's just that, in this way, the transactions between Meng Han and the elf clan are all confidential, and no one knows.

"I know what to do. Francis nodded, stood up, and left the Marquis's study.

Compared to the foresight of Lord Marquis's side, the clouds are light and the wind is light, but on the side of Adrian, the lord of Stormwind City, this is not the case at all. At this moment, Lord Viscount Adrian was anxiously walking back and forth in his room.

A new squire walked in, and as soon as Adrian saw his figure, he immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How is it?"

"No, my lord!" the attendant reported quickly, "follow their route, all the way through, and there is no sign of the brigade." The lord of Huangsha Town has returned to Huangsha Town, and he still takes so many of his people with him. Everyone is there, and no one is missing. When they first returned, it seemed that they had traces of battle on their bodies, and there were a lot of blood stains. ”

Although Jacob's attack plan was told to Adrian, the detailed plan was not given, such as when and where to attack Meng Han and his party, and what to do after the attack, and Adrien's security department did not know anything. It doesn't matter if you don't know this, but now you don't even know the whereabouts of Jacob and the five hundred warriors, and that's what kills.

Meng Han: The traces that had been buried after the battle were quickly covered by the wind and sand, and no trace could be found. As a result, the people sent by Adrian have not found their whereabouts so far, and no one is alive or dead.

"Keep looking!" Viscount Adrian had no desire to grab a gold mine, only felt a chill rush over his heart. If Jacob and the others couldn't find it because of Meng Han and his guards, then Adrian could have imagined how terrible it would be for an army of five hundred men to wipe out unscathed, plus his own squire, Jacob.

Now Adrian has a little regret, how could he provoke such a person because of greed. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and there is no turning back from the bow, even if he wants to regret it, it is impossible. After a few days of fear, I thought it was calm, but the city guards reported that there were more mercenaries around Stormwind City.

These mercenaries are strange, they don't enter the city, they just wander around outside the city, and as soon as an army comes to check on them, they disappear immediately. But as soon as the army left, it began to gather again. And these people are very unruly, and in the past two days, they have heard that there have been at least three attacks on the residents of Stormwind, all of which they encountered after leaving the city.

These people don't kill people, they just hurt people, and it seems that as long as they don't get out of the city, they are fine. This made Adrian wary, was it really aimed at Stormwind?

Two days later, Adrian finally received a report from his attendants that they had found the bodies of the city guards in an excellent location for the attack. Five hundred men plus the body of Jacob, the attendant, a lot, all of them were there. Although some time has passed, I can still identify people from the corpses. It's just that it can only be easily distinguished that these people were killed by swords and bows and arrows, and the specific wounds can no longer be explored.

All five hundred people died silently, and Adrian already felt a chill all over his body. The news from the spies in Huangsha Town was that there was not a single person missing from the guards in Huangsha Town, not even the injured people.

"Get the Austin Archswordsman back, right away!" Adrian's first reaction when he got the news was to shout directly at his trusted squire.

It wasn't until he saw the figure of the Austin Great Swordsman that Lord Adrian's heart fell back into his stomach. At the same time, there are negotiable candidates.

"How can we take this quarry?" and the city lord immediately thought of the gold mine.

"Relying on our own manpower, I guess it will be a lot of trouble. After learning all of this, the Austin Great Swordsman seemed to have guessed something, and said lightly.

"Then what should we do?" finally found a backbone that could be relied on, how could the city lord let it go, and asked eagerly.

"Our strength has not yet been able to swallow such a big benefit on our own. Austin obviously had an unusual relationship with the city lord, and when he said these words, Viscount Adrian actually had no objections.

"What do you mean?" Adrian looked at Austin quizzically, and asked tentatively, "Cooperation?"

Austin nodded, not speaking.

"With whom?" Adrian asked, as if he had grasped his situation, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Whatever the big power. Austin shrugged noncommittally, "Or, what do you think of the Mercenary Guild?"

"Mercenary Guild?" Adrian never seemed to have thought of this, and looked at Austin suspiciously.

"Those people outside must be from the underground guild. Speaking of which, they and the Mercenary Guild should be considered mortal enemies. Austin smiled calmly: "I believe that with the cooperation of this quarry, the Mercenary Guild may establish a branch in Stormwind City." ”

Hearing Austin's words, Adrian's eyes lit up.
