Chapter 45: Windfall

"Whew...... Whoop......"

Roy gasped rapidly, and the long-lost feeling of "fullness" made it difficult for him to even breathe, like a balloon that had swelled to the limit, and could explode at the slightest touch.

Holding back the discomfort, he turned his gaze to Vivien, the witch of light, on the bed, and tore open her eyelids with his fingers, until he saw that the black silk swimming in his pupils had decreased by a full forty percent, and he was relieved.

"That's it."

"She just needs to rest for a while, and she should be able to wake up."

Roy withdrew his hand and nodded at Lilia, the extremely nervous shadow witch on the side, and said.

After checking Vivien's condition several times until she was sure that she was really out of danger, Lilia was truly relieved, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red.

After arranging Vivien's clothes, Lilia, the Witch of Shadows, walked up to Roy and knelt down on one knee.

"Thank you very, very much, Lord Roy."

"I, Lilia, the Witch of Shadows, hereby solemnly swear."

"From now on, I ......"

Before Lilia could finish speaking, Roy reached out to hold Lilia's pale hand and interrupted her in a loud voice: "This is our agreement, Miss Lilia, you don't need to mind, and you don't need to promise anything. ”

He smiled faintly at Lilia, the Witch of Shadows, "I believe in the cooperation of the exchange of interests more than the oath. ”

"It's more solid."

"So, Miss Lilia, would you like to agree to work for me for three years, and in return I will remove the pollution from your body and that of your sister Vivien."

Without any hesitation, Lilia lowered her head: "I do." ”

"Good." The smile on Roy's face grew.

"I'll go to the lord's study next door first, you take good care of Miss Vivien here, and when you return to the Blackstone Realm, I'll arrange a new residence for you."

Lilia nodded, watching Roy's figure disappear through the door, and she turned to look at Vivien lying on the bed.

Without the mental and physical torture caused by the semi-uncontrolled pollution, Vivian's white and tender face was very quiet, and the frowning brows that had been frowning were also stretched, and even with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, she seemed to have achieved some good dreams.

Lilia, the shadow witch, came to the edge of the bed and sat down, reached out to hold her sister's hand, felt the warmth of her palm, and whispered, "Sister ......"

"What kind of person is you, Lord Roy?"

……

Inside the study of the Lord of Iron Mountain Fortress.

Roy sat down in the chair behind his desk and let out a long sigh of relief.

In the short time he walked from the bedroom to the study, his body consumed a small part of his energy, which relieved his "bursting" state a lot.

Vivien, the witch of light, was in an extremely critical state, and she really couldn't afford to wait any longer, otherwise she wouldn't be so embarrassed when Roy was fully prepared and obtained some more low-purity magic crystals from Star Lake during the "Abundant Soil Festival".

Fortunately, the harvest is also great.

After reaching a "cooperation" with Lilia, the Witch of Shadows, he finally has the first Battle Witch under his command!

The power of the shadow is a real combat talent, and it is infinitely useful, the shadow witch Vivien, even among the witches, is considered strong.

Of course, there is no comparison with Ace, the Ice Witch, this guy is an "out-of-line" existence.

But Ice Witch Ace only promised to help him do "three things", and now she has used one, and the Shadow Witch Lilia can send it at any time in three years.

The gap is self-evident.

In a good mood, Roy took out the duke's letter from his bosom and opened it to read it.

But the first line of words that caught the eye made Roy's pupils shrink slightly.

"Roy Tulumbel: Hello."

"First of all, congratulations on winning the battle for the merger of realms."

"Don't be suspicious, your father, Jess Turumbel and his good friend, Rami Galloway, were once excellent knights under my command, and for decades there are very few people who know about their relationship, but not me."

"The Divine Punishment Knight who was sent from the Temple to investigate the Ice Witch incident was Rami, and after I learned that he escorted you to the Divine Punishment Prison, I knew that you must be plotting something."

"I know Rummy Knight's character very well, he has a sense of justice, but he values love more than that, how could he, knowing that you are Jace's son, escort you to the Divine Punishment Prison?"

"Combined with the 'Declaration of Territory Merger Battle' sent by Lord Denham, I know that you must have other plans."

"Haha, you can see this letter, which means that I guessed correctly."

"Okay, let's not go into details."

"After winning the battle of the territory merger, tomorrow, you will receive the order of the title and lord from the empire to become the administrator of the Blackstone Domain and the Iron Mountain Territory."

"Next, I'm going to tell you two things."

"First, at the beginning of next spring, you must send enough military forces to assist in the defense of the border, the standard of one territory is the combat power of one Bronze Horseman, you now have two territories, you need to send at least two Bronze Horsemen to come."

"Second, when the 'Rich Soil Festival' Star Lake mines low-purity magic crystals, it is very important not to go deep into it! Otherwise, even the Golden Knight is in danger of dying. ”

"That's pretty much it, oh, by the way, there's a piece of information to tell you, the battle for the merger of the territories between the Blackstone Domain and the Iron Mountain Domain, on the side of the Imperial Capital, the great nobleman who vouched for Lord Denham is the hereditary Marquis Herman, and it is rumored that he is very close to the second prince of the empire."

"β€”Brayton Soros."

Putting down the letter in his hand, Roy's eyes were very solemn.

The information revealed in this letter from the Duke of the Frontier is very informative.

It is not surprising that the Duke of Frontier knew about the relationship between the old lord of Blackstone and Uncle Mira, and then deduced that he had "other plans".

This plan is not clever, and the reason why it can succeed is that it is a "poor information gap".

What Roy cares about are those two serious things and the last "reminder".

It is the duty and duty of the nobles within the province of Rafah to send their armaments to assist in the defense of the border, but the two Bronze Horsemen are ...... Looks like we have to plan ahead.

And the "Rich Soil Festival" Star Lake mining low-purity magic crystals should not go deeper...... Even the Golden Knight is in danger of falling, what is there in the depths of the Star Lake?

As for the final "reminder", Herman, the hereditary marquis who vouched for Lord Denham, and the second prince of the empire behind him......

Roy cupped his forehead in some distress.

From the letters left by the old lord, he knew that there might be some turmoil in the empire at the turn of the clock recently, but he never expected that this kind of struggle in the upper echelons of the empire would affect his small border lordship.

It's really ...... It's speechless.

"Marquis Hermann...... The second prince ......"

In the study, Roy looked at him and whispered softly.

Combined with the Frontier Duke's admonition to him, he had some speculation in his mind.

The Black Stone Collar is very ordinary, and the only special feature is Star Lake.

And the reason why these imperial bigwigs set their sights on a small Black Stone Collar is because of Star Lake?
