Chapter 33: The Root of Evil

The city of Sussex is located on the banks of the Norgando River.

The rivers that rarely make waves in all seasons lead directly to the sea, and the excellent water transportation conditions that can be navigated by both flat-bottomed and pointed boats make the city bustling even now, when the Duke of the Gulag and the Count of Orange have suddenly started a war without warning, and the fields are full of murderous beasts.

The tallest and most conspicuous landmark in Sussex City does not belong to any religion or aristocracy, but the twin red buildings of the Ring of All Laws with a red roof in the Sussex Magic Society.

Richard Samoyev, with his pale beard, dressed in the mage robes of the Seven-Ring Lightning Mage, stood on the bridge connecting the Twin Red Mansions, his hands behind his back straight, looking down at the beings on the ground like a king.

In Sussex, Richard Samoyev was indeed a king, because there was no one stronger and more skilled than him in the city.

Ten years ago in Sussex, there were two guys who were qualified to take on Richard Samoyev, but now both of them are dead - in a normal way that no doubt can be found.

Ten years was enough time for Richard Samoev to amass a huge fortune and a web large enough to envelop the whole of Sussex.

And when he couldn't find anything more exciting to do, Richard Samoev shifted his interest to the well-being of his bloodline.

Probably because he had done too many "good things", Richard Samoev first lost his ability to bear children in a battle, and then his three sons died from various causes. Let him experience the heart-wrenching pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man three times.

And among the three children who have died. Only the eldest left an heir. The only direct blood of that Richard Samoev in this world is named Alexei Samoyev.

Alexei is very, very smart, he has a super memory that is far superior to that of ordinary people, and as long as he sees something once, he will never forget it again.

In order to let the only grandson of this genius live without threat, fifteen years ago, Richard Samoev gave his only grandson the pseudonym "Rhett Childman" and secretly sent it to Breitnia, the capital of the United Kingdom, which is a prestigious magic school that can rank among the top three in the entire southern continent. Guevara School of Magic and Magic lives and learns.

This secret is known only to Richard Samoyev, because the guys who did it for him will never speak again.

According to the tradition of the Guevara School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Alexei, who has been enrolled for fifteen years, should go on his first three-month travel internship in these months.

Richard Samoev really wanted to know where his only grandson was doing his first travel internship, but he didn't dare to investigate it, because he knew that he had many, very, very many enemies.

In order to be the only bloodline, you can completely avoid these deadly threats. Richard Samoyev had already said to Alexei cruelly, "Unless you become the Archmage of the Six Rings, never come back to see me!" If you dare to come back, then I will send your mother to a place you will never find. ”

Richard Samoev still remembers the words that surprised Alexei when he sent him away fifteen years ago, after forcibly separating Alexei from his mother.

Oh, that kid...... You must hate my ruthless grandfather for this reason, right?

But sooner or later, he will understand that I, a ruthless grandfather, love him, and everything I do is for his good.

Richard Samoev looked at the rushing Norgando River and saw a large boat towing a string of smaller boats up the river and finally docking at the docks in Sussex.

When the boat came to a stop, a brightly coloured tread with handrails was placed between the dock and the boat, and then a number of men and women stepped out of the boat.

Richard Samoev saw a pair of richly dressed men and women almost clinging to each other, escorted by several sturdy servants, and finally stepped off the boat, and a maid, who was about a wet nurse, was holding a child of about five or six years old for the man and woman, probably afraid that the child would be sunburned, and the wet nurse held a black umbrella.

I don't know if Alexei has found the right woman, if only he had found a woman and let the woman conceive his child!

Richard Samoyev, who touched the scene, thought secretly.

In a few days, Richard Samoev will be sixty-second birthday, and he doesn't know how many more years he will live, so he wants to see his bloodline in his lifetime, carried on by Alexei.

Or, just go and get Alexei back?

But......

Forget it, let's talk about it in a few years.

"President, Weidmann's owl pet flew back just now and brought back this secret letter!"

A young mage wearing the robes of the Second Ring Fire Mage hurriedly ran up to the bridge connecting the Twin Red Mansions, and when he ran to Richard Samoev's side, he respectfully rolled up a letter and handed it to Richard Samoev with both hands.

Richard Samoev was expressionless, took the letter and opened it.

"Go, Sue Vice-President Quinza, Sue SΓΉ that Bronze Age ruins of Sumenass do exist, and he can take his men and rush over. Tell him, the guardian of that underground ruin, is a skeleton monitor lizard knight whose strength has reached the peak of gold, and he may advance to the undead lord at any time, so he had better be mentally prepared to die half of his men first. ”

After reading the letter, Richard Samoyed commanded.

"Yes, I'm going to find Vice President Quinza!"

The second-ring fire mage who delivered the message answered, and then disappeared from Richard Samoev's sight twice as fast as he had come.

"Gamorgan. ”

After the second-ring fire mage who delivered the message left, Richard Samoev called out such a name to the empty air in front of him.

"I'm here. ”

Empty air. A deep voice rang out.

"Did you find it?"

Richard Samoyev seems to have become accustomed to this situation. So he just continued to ask in a faint tone.

"The letter is from the county of Holland. The messenger also used the mage pet as a messenger, and according to information from the followers of the vice president of Quinza, the messenger mage pet was returned to the mage who sent the letter as a medium for direct conversation with Quinza, but what they talked about is not yet known. However, while I was investigating the county of Auland, I discovered that a few days ago there had been a notable event in the castle of Saverdo, the Viscount of Havedor, under his rule. ”

It's hidden in the air. Carmorgen, who was completely invisible, replied.

"A big thing worth noting, a big deal?"

It is clear that Richard Samoev became interested in this matter.

"There is a Gatun who calls himself Mojac Rowe, and on the black market of Vesaldo Castle, he sold the Ring of Naraku, a quasi-artifact that is said to have not appeared for more than a hundred years, to the Fendankos magic prop shop at the auction reserve price of 2.7 million gold Gaddon. Then, after purchasing more than two million gold garten supplies, this Mojack Rowe galloped more than 600 miles at the fastest speed. Rushed to the ruined city of Sumenas. ”

In the void, Gamorgen took these information that he didn't know how he had gotten it. Tell it.

And the effect of this information is very obvious, because Richard Samoyev, who listened to what Gamorgen said, obviously changed his eyes, from the original rather casual to serious.

"Sue me, that Mojack Rowe, what is the origin?"

Richard Samoyev, who got serious, asked.

"I only know that he seems to have an eight-ring necromancer mentor, and he also holds a Holy White Night badge, and he also seems to have something to do with an ice magician in the magic academy of the mountain city of Candia in the Philoka Mountains. ”

Garmorgen seemed to have known that Richard Samoev would ask this question, so before Richard Samoev's words could be heard, he replied.

"Who is the mentor of the Eight-Ring Necromancer, the White Bone Shepherd? Unlikely, the relationship between the White Bone Shepherd and the Cult of the Brilliant God is extremely bad. It's also unlikely, the Corrupt Walker's lair is in Black Mountain, too far away from Gatun. So is it the deceitful embalmer Sokomo who is aware of it? It is also unlikely...... By the way, that Mojack Rowe is a necromancer of several rings?"

After muttering and guessing for a while, but couldn't guess anything, Richard Samoev simply gave up his guess and continued to ask.

"Before peddling the Ring of Naraku, he did a spellcaster ring test in Savel Do, and the credible result was that his ring level was a dual ring of ice and necromancy. ”

Garmorgen replied.

"Ice and undead?" Richard Samoev frowned visibly, and then he flatly denied: "This is absolutely impossible! He must have hidden his true strength!"

"I think that's probably the case, because I also found this Mojack Rowe, and I also went to the Arcane Library in Saveldo to check the books, and the old fellow of the Arcane Society who was hiding in Saveldo personally met him, and issued a green card to Mojak Rowe......"

Garmorgen agreed with Richard Samoyev's judgment, and he was only halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by Richard Samoyev.

"He's got at least a double triple ring or higher!"

Richard Samoyev, who interrupted the Garmorgen, made such a judgment in a categorical tone.

In this regard, Gamorgan did not agree or disagree, because it was not his duty to make the final judgment, but only to investigate the valuable ones from all kinds of complicated information.

"Garmorgen, are you sure this Mojack Rowe went to the ruined city of Sumenas?"

And soon, Richard Samoev asked again.

"Yes, for sure. ”

Garmorgen nodded.

"Gamorgen, gather all those who are loyal to me, and remember that I am saying all. Then, after a day of departure for Quinza's men, we ...... Keep up!"

After almost a minute of silence, Richard Samoev took a deep breath and then issued such a general mobilization order.

"My lord, I need to remind you that you promised the Duke of the Gulag......"

Garmorgen replied that he seemed to be so loyal to Richard Samoev that he tried to remind his master not to lose sight of one over the other.

"This matter is completely unimportant, it is a war between the family of the Duke of the Gulag and the family of the Count of Orange, not mine. Besides, even if I break my trust in him......" Richard Samoev interrupted Garmorgen with a wave of his hand, and said in a proud tone that he dared to do so: "What can he do to me, and what can he dare to do to me?"

"Knowing my master, I will go and gather your loyal servants and prepare them for their departure. ”

Knowing that his master had made up his mind, Cammorgen did not try to persuade him anymore, but chose to faithfully carry out his orders.

After a few moments, after Gamorgan had already left, Richard Samoev finally strode towards his room.

As he walked, Richard Samoev muttered to himself like an ordinary old man.

"Some things, it's simple. The guy who would sell a quasi-artifact at such a low price must still have a real artifact in hand, or...... You're about to have a real artifact. Therefore, if you don't bet all your strength, how can you hold this real artifact in your hands?"

"So Alexey, my dearest and only grandson, we will soon be reunited. ”――
