855. Alchemist
The guards in the camp ran out from everywhere one after another, and controlled the middle-aged magician as soon as possible.
The middle-aged magician stood among the soldiers, spread his hands calmly, and held a magic wand in his left hand, and walked forward with a chic and casual expression under the eyes of the guards.
The surrounding soldiers retreated with him.
He was not nervous or embarrassed at all, and even asked the guards against the guest:
"Where are you from?"
His eyes were oppressive, bright and deep.
The guard was a little weak-hearted, and said under the gaze of the middle-aged magician:
"We are the garrison of Dodan Town, and we entered the Invercargill Warcraft Forest to clear out the ghost-patterned red ants here."
The middle-aged magician nodded in satisfaction, then gave a look of encouragement to the guards and asked:
"Where's your commander?"
Several of the guards unconsciously looked at Surdak.
Surdak had only just come out of the crowd and stood in front of the middle-aged magician.
The middle-aged magician looked at Surdak seriously and asked in a superior tone:
"You're the commander of this army?"
"I am. Your Excellency is ......" Surdak replied modestly as he walked up to the middle-aged magician.
"Very well, I just have something to tell you."
With a proud face, the middle-aged magician pointed to the vein behind him and said to Surdak:
"I have decided to apply to the Magic Guild, and in the future, this Warcraft Forest will become my territory, I will be Lord Invercargill, and everything here will be mine......"
After speaking, he glanced around again, lowered his voice and put his arm around Surdak's shoulder, and said with some smugness:
"Since you are the garrison of Dodan Town, then I think we will have to cooperate with each other in the future, as long as you help me open up this Warcraft Forest, I can pay you some extra money, I don't think I need to say, you should also know what kind of benefits it will be for you to know a magician, I am very good at alchemy."
Middle-aged magician with his chest held out. He stretched out his hand to Surdak and condescendingly wanted to reach a deal with Surdak.
Surdak did not stretch out his hand, but held the hilt of the sword with one hand, and said bluntly:
"I'm sorry, but this is already an unknown area that the independent cavalry battalion of the Luthor Regiment is carrying."
Without even asking the name of the middle-aged magician, he took out the Grimm Empire Codex and continued:
"According to the Grimm Empire's 443 land distribution law, the land in the unknown area opened up by the noble lords can be selected at will, and the area of the territory should be forty percent of the total area, and the rest of the land will be handed over to the Grimm Empire and Bena Province, my army has set foot in this woodland and opened up a road in this unexplored area."
The middle-aged magician was a little surprised, he didn't expect Surdak to reject him so bluntly.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to make such an application to the Wilkes Magic Guild again." Surdak said again.
"Who do you know you're talking to? I am the archmage of the province of Bena, a member of the board of directors of the Alchemy Guild of Bena, I came to the Monster Forest of Invercargill in the White Forest Plane, I have traveled all over this area, I think I am qualified enough to apply for this territory. The middle-aged magician straightened his face and said to Surdak with a serious expression.
The middle-aged magician didn't expect that the garrison commander in front of him actually had the same idea as himself, and had already led the army into Invercargill Forest.
He regretted flying down so hastily, he didn't expect it to be a group of competitors, and he didn't have enough respect for the magician.
He was a little weak-hearted, and he didn't want that look to be revealed, so he could only puff up his chest and reveal the pure gold mage badge on his chest, deliberately letting Surdak see clearly the mage badge with the pattern of the staff and the magic book.
Surdak had seen a similar one on their chests in Reims, but it was silver, and only the gold veins could be seen in the relief pattern.
He looked at the soldiers gathered around him on the left and right, waved them back a little, and said to the middle-aged magician:
"You can't just set foot here with your feet and treat this place as the area you occupy, so if you step into Bednar City from the Bailin Plane Portal, will you feel that the entire Roland Continent belongs to you?"
The middle-aged magician stared at Surdak and asked with a dumb smile:
"You also want to look at this territory, it only shows that you are also very discerning, which is good, but then we can be considered competitors."
He didn't even have the patience to wait for Surdak to answer, so he said casually:
"Well, then we really don't have anything to talk about, this kind of nobles can only rely on their own abilities when they occupy territories among themselves, but without saying that you are now conquering Invercargill Forest on the White Forest plane, we can't do anything but stand outside and watch—and then applaud love."
At the end, the middle-aged magician squeezed out a smile on his face, and said a little slyly: "I hope to see you again in Wilkes City......"
After saying that, he pulled out the magic handle from his magic belt, and he deliberately no longer made any contact with Surdak's eyes.
Straddle the magic handlebar with both legs, pull up the wooden handle of the handle, and drill into the night sky with a 'whoosh', the action is very neat.
……
At this time, Samira flexibly jumped from the tree to a boulder in the open field, aimed at the remnants of the remnants of the magician in the dark night sky, and drew the 'Heavenly Strike' bow to the full, the steel arrow continued to flicker with electric arcs, and a trace of wind element flew out of Samira's fingertips, like a strand of silk thread wrapped around the shaft of the arrow.
In the night wind, the arrow came with a 'crackling' electric sound.
Just as the arrow was off the line, Surdak rushed over and grabbed Samira's shoulder.
"Don't! He's holding a magic scroll in his hand! Surdak frowned and said: "If this arrow can't kill him, we will have a grudge with the Magic Guild of Bena City, and he probably wants to wait for us to shoot this arrow, murder the mage noble, such a charge will immediately be put on our heads, and when the time comes, it will be a summons from the House of Representatives, and I will not have time to occupy this land again......"
Samira looked at Surdak as if she were not speaking.
The wind element condensed in the palm of his hand turned into extremely fine silk threads and dissipated into the night sky.
"We continue to do ours." Surdak said again.
At this time, Andrew, who had gone on patrol outside, happened to return to the camp, and when he heard that there was actually a magician in the camp, he was also a little surprised: "It's so late, and he is still flying back on the magic handle?" …… It's really hard enough, so what is he doing during the day? ”
"I'll take a trip to Wilkes City in a while."
Surdak walked back to the campfire and sat down.
The light of the fire in the camp and the low cry of the thunderrhino continued to attract the ghostly red ants in the surrounding woods, and the young natives stood on the marksmen at the side of the thunder rhino with their alloy bows, constantly harvesting their prey.
Now, the soldiers have become more experienced in dealing with the ghostly soldier ants.
The next morning, the corpses of the ghost-patterned ant that had piled up in front of the camp had become like a hill.
The cavalry battalion, led by Andrew, continued its approach along the veins to the northeast of Invercargill Forest.
The main task of Surdak entering the Invercargill Forest this time is to find this vein and find out how big this area really is, and clear the way of ghostly red ants and forest monsters.
It's just that the part of this vein that is exposed to the surface really surprised Surdak a little, it is too big.
When the morning sun rises, a dazzling light appears close to the surface.
Through this sunlight, you can clearly see the north side of the forest. Towering Dark Worm Valley.
A few birds swept across the blue sky, and there were a few clear chirps that pierced through the clouds......
