Chapter 35: To each his own heart
As the vice president of the Sussex Wizards' Guild, Quinsa Chandos Greenwell is not actually from the United Kingdom of Birhanna and Sakssu, but from the imperial capital of the Samarian Empire.
Carefully calculated, Quinza Chandos Greenville is even the uncle of the current Duke of Montenegro, although it is not the kind of uncle-nephew relationship that is in-law, but this relationship was acquiesced by the Duke of Montenegro at least a long time ago, and after Quinza advanced to the six-ring necromancer, the Duke of Montenegro publicly recognized this close relationship from blood.
Therefore, when Quinza violated the necromancer's taboo in the imperial capital because of the calculations of his opponents, he would be able to be demoted to Sussex as the vice president of the Wizards' Guild, instead of being stripped of all his wizard privileges like other unlucky people who broke the taboo.
Before arriving in Sussex, Quinza was still quite grateful for the noble blood in his veins, if it were not for the blood of the most powerful Duke of Montenegro family in the imperial capital of the Samaria Empire, where could he enjoy a good life in a good place like Sussex?
However, after a year in Sussex, Quinsa suddenly realized that he was still being calculated by his opponent, because Sussex, who seemed to be in excellent condition, had a president of the Wizards' Guild who made him want to die the next moment.
That's right, the president of the Wizards' Guild, whom Quinza hated so much, was none other than Richard Samoyev.
In Quinza's eyes, Richard Samoev is an old bastard who is cunning to the extreme, and without the nod of this old bastard, he would be the vice president of the Imperial Capital Wizards Guild with noble blood. It is not even possible to obtain any of the casting materials in Sussex.
This place in Sussex. Those stupid and vulgar country aristocrats. Thrown into their glory and face as nobles, not even one of them dared to confront Richard Samoyev.
Someone actually told Quinza that if it was a secret that Richard Samoyev's old bastard wanted to know, even if the secret was hidden, he would eventually know it.
If these secrets that Richard Samoev wanted to know ended up being considered bad for him by Richard Samoyev, then the people who created them, regardless of their status, would eventually die.
When I first heard about it. Quinnza was very, very excited, and he felt he had found a godsend to bring down Richard Samoyev.
But the ruthless facts quickly extinguished Quinza's excitement, and his secret investigation could not be carried out further as soon as it began, and the person who secretly told him the above secrets died on the mistress's belly on the third day after the secret investigation officially began.
As a nobleman, it is actually a very common thing to die on the belly of his mistress, and basically every year or two, such a thing happens.
But this ratio is calculated at least within the scope of a certain principality!
This place in Sussex. The total population of the city is less than 80,000, and the number of nobles who can be put on the table is only about 30 people. Coupled with the heirs they are focusing on cultivating and those old guys who don't die, they can't even count a hundred.
That's the number of country aristocrats, since Richard Samoev became the president of the city's magician association, but in the early ten years of the nobles who died on the belly of their mistress, he is almost more than twenty!
Therefore, anyone with a little brain can see that these dishonorable foolish nobles are dying very strangely, and even Quinnza, an outsider, can easily come to such a conclusion.
But what if such a conclusion can be reached?
The remaining stupid country aristocrats in Sussex have long been trained by Richard Samoyev to be obedient dogs, and everyone unanimously says that the guy who leaked the secret to Quinsa is a 100% normal death.
Quinza wasn't stupid, he was well aware that the death of the guy who leaked the secret to him was a warning to him from the old bastard Richard Samoyev.
If he continues to do things that are not good for the other party, Quinza has no doubt that one day, he may also die on the woman's belly.
Quinza, who was not interested in this dishonorable death at all, and knew very well that he would not be able to move to other places anytime soon, after attending the funeral of that unlucky man, completely died down and expressed his obedience to the old bastard Richard Samoyev, and he swore that he would never do anything dangerous to the other party.
Although Quinsa actually cursed Richard Samoev to die in his heart at the same time as the gambling curse, this oath in the name of the Lord of Decay seems to have succeeded in making the old bastard Richard Samoev put away his minions and stop doing things against him Quinza that made it almost impossible for Sussex to live.
In this way, Quinza stayed in Sussex for five years with his tail between his legs like a grandson.
In the past five years, he has really not done anything unfavorable to Richard Samoyev, and no matter what he does, he is only Richard Samoev's leader.
Perhaps because of attitude, Richard Samoyev's old bastard didn't have a monopoly on the benefits he got from Sussex, but took the initiative to give Quinsa some profits.
Coupled with some material support from the Duke of Montenegro's side from time to time, Quinza was finally able to quietly plump his wings in the name of recruiting mage followers.
After so many years, it can be regarded as a small achievement, and this group of almost a hundred mage followers can be used as a small knight regiment when pulled out.
However, Quinza was not sure of one thing, and he did not know if any of the followers he had recruited were any of Richard Samoyev's spies.
So sometimes, Quinza regrets why he chose the Necromancer faction in the first place, rather than the Corpse Shepherd, who never had to worry about someone else's secret agent among his followers.
So although in the heart all kinds of curses Richard Samoev. But Quinza, who has a team of 100 mage followers. Still did not dare to make a mistake in front of Richard Samoyev. He still maintains enough "respect" and "loyalty" to this old bastard who is always immortal.
And it is precisely for this reason that after accidentally getting the big secret of an ancient ruin buried deep underground in the festering crypt of Sumenass half a month ago, Richard Samoev reported the matter to Richard Samoev without too much entanglement.
Richard Samoyev's reaction was slightly unexpected by Quinza, because the old bastard did not immediately rush to the festering crypt of Sumenassas, but only appointed five magicians and the temptation of high hiring prices. An expedition was formed by hiring a common mercenary group called the Two-Headed Black Hawk Mercenary Regiment.
Quinza really wanted to tell the old bastard Richard Samoev that the only thing that Cheng Dù's expedition could do to a place like the Land of the Dead was to send fresh flesh and blood to the undead in the festering crypt of Sumenas.
But after a few eye rolls, Quinza didn't say anything.
Soon, the rabble of expeditions came to an end where they were almost wiped out in the festering crypts of Sumenassas.
Then, when what Quinza was looking forward to was finally what he was waiting for, the old bastard Richard Samoev sent someone to tell him to organize a second wave of expeditions.
Ha, you old bastard. Do you think that my five years of dormancy and compromise have really succumbed to his obscenity? Are you already willing to go his lackey?!
How naïve!
Richard Samoyev, you old bastard, how could I, with noble blood in my veins, really surrender to such a vicious old thing as you?!
Ha, what is hidden under the festering crypt of Sumenassas, but there is an ancient ruin of the Bronze Age!
You go don't let me out of the ancient ruins. Discover something good that can kill you!
Quinza desperately suppressed the joy in his heart, lest the old bastard Richard Samoyev suddenly turn back on Quinza, gather his mage followers in the shortest possible time, and then equip everyone, including himself, with two horses, and run out of Sussex.
In just seven days, Quinza commanded his 100 followers and reached the vicinity of the festering crypt of Sumenassas, which had finally given him a chance to turn the tables.
Quinza was cautious enough, and after converging the last remnants of the previous expedition and getting a detailed understanding of the giant festering crypt from these people, Quinza didn't bet on it immediately.
Staying in the safe area, Quinza first released a few sentries into the festering crypt of Sumenassas to investigate the information on the spot and confirm it.
Quinza's requirement for the sentinels is to be sure to seriously investigate all suspicious points.
Quinza's wishes were good, but he ignored the few pathfinders he had assigned, and although they all answered his orders aloud after being called, they were just as exhausted as everyone else.
And what is even more strict is that the leader of these pathfinder sentinels is the "secret agent" who Quinza has long suspected but never knows who it is.
So, the leader of the sentries with a backbone in the back of his head was below zero, and a few tired sentinels on their fat-losing horses finally stopped to rest after a cursory examination of the perimeter of the festering crypt of Sumenas.
After a lazy rest, the Bureau's Sentinels who were safe around the Sumenassas Ulcer Crypt returned to the temporary camp and jointly reported to their master that there was no problem around the Sumenassas Ulcer Crypt, and there was no trace of any third-party forces.
There is no other third-party force to save zài?!
Well, great!
This reply was wonderful news for Quinza, and if it weren't for the fact that his followers were exhausted from the continuous journey, he would have even asked everyone to unite under his banner and rush into the huge festering crypt that hid the ancient ruins of the Bronze Age.
"Tell everyone, we will rest for half a day, and everyone had better adjust to the best state during this half day, because after this half day has passed, I will lead you into that festering crypt full of treasures!"
After much hesitation, Quinza finally relented to reality, and sure enough, he thought more and more about the author's corpse herd.
Quinza didn't know that in fact, in the wild grass that was not far from him, there was an invisible man who was squatting at the moment, and he couldn't see it at all, silently observing his Quinza's every move.
There is no doubt that the "man" who observes up close is no longer possible except for Aroline Fisher, who is more transparent than a ghost. (To be continued......)
