In mid-air, Claire and Isaac's figures froze.

Opposite them was the high-level mage who had been hunted down by them before, and this high-level mage had already hidden behind the other two, a fat man in armor, according to Claire's intelligence, should be the lord of Earl Green's county, and the other was a mage in a black robe, exuding an aura that made people feel cold and evil, and people didn't want to get close.

"What should I do?" Isaac asked in a low voice.

Claire blinked her eyes, took out the "ghost lamp" and slapped it a few times, and the bodies of those knights who were more than ten kilometers away suddenly flashed a few times in a regular blue.

All the knights' faces changed, and they didn't understand why they had an absolute advantage now, and the Viscount made them retreat.

Crane's expression was tangled for a moment, but he still waved his hand and shouted, "Retreat!" ”

Claire's order is unquestionable, since the order to retreat has been issued, then it is necessary to retreat, even if the next sword can hack the enemy in front of him to death, he must withdraw the big sword and prepare to evacuate.

The knights of the Earl of Green were also confused, and they were almost hacked to death by the other party, but the knights on the other side suddenly retreated, and the knights who survived by luck breathed a long sigh of relief, and sat on the ground with awe of life in their eyes.

Seeing that Claire didn't react, Isaac hurriedly tugged at his sleeve.

"What to do? No matter how you look at the new mage on the other side, they are all archmage-level mages, and we are not opponents. ”

Claire's face was also a little ugly, he didn't expect that the other party's camp actually had an archmage-level mage as his hole card.

Claire said, "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move...... Even if we can't beat it, can't we both run away? ”

Isaac nodded slightly, if it was to talk about the hole cards for escape, he still had no shortage of cards.

The mage on the other side bowed down to Count Green and whispered what had happened, and the more he listened to Count Green's face, the more difficult it became, and finally he could no longer contain his emotions and jumped up.

"What! More than half of all the knights were killed or wounded?! What are you eating? ”

"Barry and Gal are also dead? Lunn is also dead! Green's expression became shocked, he didn't expect that in just half a day, only two of the six high-end combat forces under his command would have been lost, and if he hadn't arrived in time, the mage just now would have died in the hands of the other party.

"You ......" Green stepped forward and pointed to Isaac and Claire, his tone trembling with anger.

"How dare you do this!"

Claire spread her hands, "I always felt that there was no winner at the beginning of the battle, since the matter has come to this, then it is better for us to forget it like this, otherwise continuing to fight will only cause greater losses, let's take a step back, you don't care about these and that, I also led my knight back to his own territory, and the matter is settled." ”

"You!" Green was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and his fingers at Claire were trembling, "I've never seen someone so brazen as you!" ”

"Originally, everything was negotiable, if you want the formula for iodized salt, you tell me, and I won't give it to you. In this way, I will suffer a little loss, and I will give you the method of making iodized salt, and this matter will be settled. Claire said calmly, anyway, the production method of iodized salt has been developed by those large salt factories, and it will not affect their business.

"I want how to make iodized salt, and I want your life!" Green roared angrily, a fierce and rich fighting spirit burst out from his body, in addition to being an earl nobleman, he was also a gold-level knight.

"Earl, calm down! He had a magic weapon in his hand that could kill a gold-level knight in one blow, and Barry and they all died under that weapon. The High Mage immediately stepped forward and stopped his lord.

Hearing this, Green's feverish brain finally calmed down, and he turned to the cold mage on the side and said, "Master Hughes, this matter will trouble you. ”

The archmage known as Hugh Mage nodded slightly, and then his body seemed to be slowly pushed forward by an invisible force, and Claire and Isaac turned their heads to look at each other.

When the other party was closer, Claire saw the other party's face clearly, and his appearance was similar to the wizard he matched with last time, with a sickly appearance, and his whole face was dead and boneless, but his eyes were full of energy without the slightest bit of weakness.

"Necromantic archmage......" Isaac muttered to himself.

Claire's eyes flickered, necromantic mages are not common, because of the rarity and withdrawn nature of mages in this department, so the general magic academy does not open a necromantic major.

Therefore, the necromancers encountered are either self-taught, or they are brought out by a teacher with a close necromancer.

Hughes slowly stopped when he was about a hundred and fifty meters away from Claire and the others, and opened his mouth to let out a hoarse voice, "That kid over there, you're a student of the Royal Capital Academy of Magic, right?" ”

Isaac was stunned for a moment, and looked at his clothes only to find that it was the robe on his body that betrayed his information, this is a robe specially made by the Royal Capital Academy of Magic for senior mages, because of the good quality, so Isaac has been wearing it and has not changed it to other robes.

There was nothing to hide, and Isaac responded directly: "That's right, I'm a student at the Royal Capital Academy of Magic, and I've graduated now." ”

"Boom!" The other laughed a few times.

Claire couldn't help but complain in her heart: Your laughter is very much like a villain!

Hughes continued to say in that hoarse voice: "In this case, I am still your senior, it has been almost a hundred and fifty years since I graduated, and I may know who your teacher is." ”

Isaac hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to say it, since he was a senior, maybe he would put some water in the fight later.

"My teacher is Archmage Duke Barnett......"

As soon as Isaac finished speaking, he saw the look in the other man's eyes leap like flames.

"Duke." Hughes stretched out his hand and touched his dry face, "I haven't heard of this name for a long time, your teacher is my classmate and friend, we used to specialize in magic together, but unfortunately my talent is not as good as his, after graduation he stayed in the academy, I can only come out to find a way out...... After all these years of searching for magical monuments and the Lost Kingdom, I transferred to the Necromantic Department to become an archmage...... I didn't expect him to become a teacher in the magic academy now. ”

Claire stepped forward, "Since we still have this level of relationship, why don't you let us go?" ”

When Earl Green, who was in the back, heard the conversation between them, his heart couldn't help but tighten, afraid that Hughes would listen to Claire's nonsense.

Hearing Claire's words, Hughes chuckled lightly from the tip of his nose.

"This is not good, you can't carry personal feelings in your work, since I have taken so much money from Earl Green, then I have to settle these things for him, but for the sake of this relationship, I will spare your life...... As for what to do with you, it's up to Earl Green. ”

Isaac's face changed slightly, what kind of nonsense are you talking about, didn't the two of us lose our lives in the hands of Earl Green?

Hearing Hughes's words, Earl Green finally smiled with relief.

Claire continued to persuade: "Don't, how much does Earl Green give you, how about I increase it by one and a half times according to his price?" Coupled with the relationship between you and Isaac, you don't have to go back to solve them, just stand and act as if you don't see anything. ”

"Master Hughes, don't listen to him! He now has less than a million gold coins in his whole family! And I can give you a certain amount of research funding every year, don't be deceived by this kid! Earl Green immediately revealed Claire's old story, and the relationship between him and Hughes was a pure monetary relationship, so he had to prevent others from fooling Hughes away at a higher price.

"Alright, don't say any more." Hughes said lightly, "I'm not the kind of villain who has no principles, for Duke's sake's sake, I'll let you make three moves, and I'm going to do it after three moves." ”
