Several large speeches made by the magicians in the square made the people of Wilkes City talk about the territory in a short period of time. In the night, he fell to Christopher Magician.

Immediately afterwards, a group of magicians from the Magic Guild led nearly 10,000 citizens to hold a grand demonstration in Wilkes.

There were some citizens holding protest plaques standing in front of the hotel where Surdak lived, and it was unknown whether they were employed by the Magic Guild or if they were spontaneously organized, but these protesters did not use excessive language or behavior, but held protest signs behind the railing across the road in silent protest.

The Wilkes Daily also published an article about the territorial dispute between the noble lords and the wizard nobles.

This report is relatively positive, explaining the role of the noble lords and mage nobles to the Grimm Empire, as well as the disadvantages of the noble lords and mage nobles opening up new territories.

In fact, after magicians have been promoted to nobles, the territories they are assigned to are often in name only, basically remote and barren mountainous areas, and magicians rarely really develop those lands.

As a result, this benefit for the mages is more of a burden.

Noble lords have more freedom to open up new territories, but only if they have a private army.

However, for a magician with a good reputation in Wilkes City, or a director of the Alchemy Guild, the territory owned by Christopher Magician can choose the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, many citizens think that they can choose, since there is a good territory...... So there's no reason not to choose?

But before the election, Wilkes City Hall should come forward to communicate this issue.

That is to say, whether it is to apply for territory or to apply for the development of unknown areas, you need to do it in advance, and it is not possible to do it first and then make up the ticket, which is not in line with the process.

It is precisely because the citizens who hold this view are the mainstream group that everyone supports that Christopher Wizard will get the Invercargill Warcraft Forest.

The Archon of Florion proposed: Let the two of them, Christopher Wizard and Viscount Surdak, sit down together to discuss the ownership of the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, in fact, such a large forest, even if several noble lords divided it equally, it is more than enough.

The Wizarding Guild ignored it, instead trumpeting Christopher the Magician, who was also a good alchemist, and his great contribution to Wilkes City.

Nowadays, when magical herbs are scarce, the profession of alchemist has gradually appeared in everyone's eyes.

The second reconsideration of the House of Representatives was quickly approved, and the territory of Invercargill's Monster Forest belonged to Christopher Magician.

……

Surdak also left Wilkes with Nika and Samira on the same day, and the group returned to the town of Dodan along the same road.

According to the orders of the Chester Archswordsman, the garrison in the northern region of the White Forest Plane has begun to completely expel the mages in the territory, and some adventure groups with mages are leaving one after another.

On the main road to Wilkes, you will always see some adventuring groups in horse-drawn carriages heading towards Wilkes.

Surdak rode in front on his Guborian horse, while Nika and Samira sat in a magical caravan, Nika was not good at riding and did not have the physical strength to ride on horseback for seven days, and Samira simply did not want to wear a hood and a light veil in the scorching sun.

He was in a bad mood, he didn't realize that he had worked so hard to carve out the Invercargill Forest, and now he said that this land belonged to a magician.

Then the magic contract signed with the indigenous tribes in the Invercargill Forest has become a pile of waste paper, and the most embarrassing thing is that he also drove the four indigenous tribes out of the Invercargill Forest, and now he suddenly finds that everything he said and did was all a farce.

Although the Great Swordsman of Chester said that the matter was not over, Surdak felt that the matter was probably irreparable.

I didn't expect this to be the case.

Leaving Wilkes City and stepping into the vast grassland, the gloomy mood gradually improved, Surdak rubbed his somewhat numb face with his hands, and when he returned, he had to muster up the courage to meet the chiefs of the indigenous tribes, which should think about what to say after the meeting, and he could not keep talking......

At this time, the magic caravan that followed behind caught up, parallel to Surdak.

Nika pushed the window, poked her head out, and said to Surdak:

"Master, while wandering around Wilkes for the past two days, I heard something about Christopher the Magician."

Surdak turned his head suspiciously, looked at Nika, and motioned for her to continue, "Wizard Christopher has a student next to him, and his name is Joel. Singhi, a magician who had just graduated from Wilkes School of Magic, disappeared at the beginning of this month. ”

"This Joel. Wizard Singi's family, fiancée, and friends were all looking around for news of him, and when I visited the Magic Clock Tower in the Magic Quarter that day, they happened to be holding Joel. The portrait of the magician Sinji asks pedestrians on the street. ”

"I hadn't paid attention to it at first, but I heard that the last time he traveled was to follow Wizard Christopher to the Invercargill Monster Forest, and his friends saw him off at that time, and he happily told his family and friends that he was about to make a fortune."

"But according to Christopher Wizard after returning from Invercargill Forest, he and Joel. Singh and the two were separated after leaving Wilkes City because they were in charge of different tasks. ”

"Joel. The family of Singh Wizard did not believe this statement, because Joel. Before leaving, Wizard Singh said that he was going to take Wizard Christopher to Invercargill Forest, and that the Wizard Christopher had never been to Invercargill Forest before. ”

Surdak grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, patted his forehead vigorously, and said, "If this matter involves Christopher magician, it can't be solved with a little fine, after all, the other party is also a magician nobleman." ”

Nika stuck her head out of the window and said excitedly, "If they go to Invercargill Forest, they won't necessarily go to Dodan Town, but they will definitely pass through Kieran Town, and it's very unfortunate that there is only one hotel in Kieran Town, we can go to Kieran Town to check it out......"

She pointed to the road ahead and said to Surdak, "Master, let's go to the town of Kiran!" ”

Every time Nika called 'Master', Surdak would feel like someone was tickling the soles of his feet, and it was hard to describe.

……

The next day, when Surdak arrived in Kieran, Nika immediately ran to the only inn in town.

It just so happened that the waitress at the front desk of the hotel was Nika's little sister, Nika got into the service area of the front desk, and the two chattered inside for a long time, not only found out the information about Christopher the magician and the magician living in the hotel, but also found out that Joel. Wizard Hingi found two street girls in the town that night and reportedly destroyed two bed sheets in the hotel......

Christopher the Wizard is lying.

Joel. Wizard Singh did not go missing, and did not return to Wilkes City with Wizard Christopher, and was probably killed on the way.

Christopher the magician hides the truth, and there is a high probability that he will kill Joel. Singh's murderer.

Surdak remembered that the night he met Wizard Christopher in the southern part of the Invercargill Forest vein, he was clearly on his own.

This matter seems to be obvious at a glance though.

But if you want to investigate, it's not easy.

The main thing is that no one knows Joel except Christopher the Magician. Singh's whereabouts, but there is no way to interrogate him.

What exactly is going to do, Surdak is deep in thought.

Thinking that maybe I could go back to Dodan Town and return to Wilkes City with Selena, the goddess of darkness Celine is in charge of everything in the dark, and dreams are one of them, maybe I can go to Christopher's dream to learn about the situation.

But then Surdak thought that it was unlikely that he wanted to get up close and personal with Wizard Christopher.

Depart Kieran Town Lodge.

When he closed the door, he heard the jingling sound of the wind chimes at the door, and Surdak subconsciously touched his neck, and the phalanges of Viscount Fornak were tied to a rope.

He took the phalanx in his hand, turned and returned to the inn with Nika and Samira.

Walked to the front desk and said to the hostess with her braided hair: "Help me open two rooms, preferably the one where Christopher Magician once lived, and prepare me a good pot of afternoon tea by the way......"

The waitress Mali completed the formalities, took out a bunch of keys, and jumped upstairs to open the door for Surdak.

Surdak made Nika and Samira live next door and walked into Joel alone. The room where Wizard Hingi once lived.

As soon as he sat in the room for a short while, the waitress knocked at the door with a plate of dessert and black tea, and Surdak walked to the door, took the tea tray, and gave the waitress a tip of a silver coin.

The reason why he gave so much tips was purely because he didn't have change in his pocket.

After the hostess kept hinting that she could do more, Surdak closed the door and locked it.

He placed the tea tray on the coffee table in the living room of the room, then walked to the window and pulled up the thick curtains.

The room immediately became a little dark, and then he took out the phalange, put it in his mouth and blew it gently...... There was no sound.

The air around him suddenly turned cold, and Surdak noticed that some blood-colored marks appeared on the wall, and a little blood seeped out of the wall, and then a blood-colored thorn streaked out of the wall, like countless crazy vines, these dark red vines formed an arch in the wall.

A large bone-dry hand pushed open the tattered wooden door and silently appeared in front of Surdak.

As the door behind him closed quietly, Surdak looked through the wooden door to see the vast expanse of land made of countless white bones inside.

The yin wind roared, and countless skeletons crawled out of the land of bones, converging into an army of skeletons, slowly walking into the distance.

"Good afternoon, Surdak...... Oh, I was actually promoted to viscount, which was a bit unexpected to me! ”

Viscount Fornak took off the hat on his head, floated to the front of the sofa, sat down nonchalantly, stretched his head forward, sniffed the steaming black tea in front of him, and smiled at Surdak and said, "It's been a long time since I've drunk black tea, and this taste is really nostalgic!" ”

……

The day after Surdak left Wilkes, Miss Hathaway rushed to Wilkes City with a letter from the Marquis of Luthor.

(Ten days ago, the Great Swordsman of Chester wrote a letter to the Marquis of Luther in the Tarapakant region about the dispute in the Bellin Plane)

Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Luthor sent a reply so quickly, and Luthor not only wrote a letter to the Archswordsman of Chester, but also wrote a letter to the Archon of Wilkes City.

At the same time, Hathaway and Beatrice passed through the portal in Bednar City and delivered the two handwritten letters from the Marquis of Luthor to the Chester Swordsman at the military headquarters.

In his letter, the Marquis de Luthor stated:

'I'm amazed that the Wilkes City Territory Authority was able to assign the Invercargill Beast Forest to Christopher Wizard during the Beast Tide.

The aristocratic lords are willing to station their troops in the border towns of the plane, which is definitely not simply a good deed, but accompanied by a series of related interests, so that the noble lords are willing to come to the plane to garrison.

Obviously, the citizens of Wilkes City have forgotten who made them live happily at the moment, and for the inhabitants of such a plane, the Luther Legion announced that it will completely evacuate the White Forest Plane by the end of this month.

I order: The Archswordsman of Chester immediately summons the heralds of the Legion and issues a recall order to the Luther Legion in the northern occupation zone, and the Luther Legion is ready to evacuate the White Forest Plane by the end of this month. ’

The letter was written by Hathaway. Luthor brought it personally.

The Marquis of Luther publicly expressed the support of the Luthor Legion in Wilkes City, which made the Wilkes military department also fiercely cheer up.

But the ensuing troubles made them extremely distressed.

Although the Luther Legion held back the tide of beasts north of the White Forest Plane, the Luther Legion was about to leave the White Forest Plane.

It was really a big problem which legion would succeed the Luthor Legion later, and even the native noble lords of the White Forest Plane were reluctant to take on the garrison mission of the northern district, because everyone knew that the unexplored land north of the Thorn Mountains was about to become the territory of Christopher Magician.

So the noble lords shouted at the House of Representatives: Since the mage is going to open up the territory of the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, it is up to the mage himself to garrison it.

The Archon of Florion personally went to the military headquarters to meet with the Chester Swordsman and tried to persuade the Chester Swordsman to delay the decision of the Luthor Legion to evacuate the White Forest Plane.

In order to avoid the Archon of Floryon, the Great Swordsman of Chester had already taken the order of the Marquis of Luthor and personally ran to the towns in the northern district to give the evacuation order.

At this time, everyone remembered that the Luther Legion was the private army of the Marquis of Luther, and the Marquis of Luther, as the lord of the main battle faction of the province of Bena, was definitely not a good-tempered person.
