According to the information that Richard heard, Baron Sophia was only twenty-three years old this year.

Before going to the kingdom of Makholm five years ago, he was already a three-ring magician.

Before leaving the Kingdom of Grant, Sophia, who was only eighteen years old, was already a well-known magical genius in the North.

Received an invitation from the Grant Kingdom Magic Association.

In five years, according to Baron Sophia's magical talent, it is likely to advance to a mid-level magician.

Although she is a woman, Baron Sophia's combat power is estimated to be comparable to William's.

Today Sophia came to the door, and she didn't know if she was friend or foe.

In that case, Richard stole Baron Stoppa's treasure.

Now the bitter lord has come to the door, leaving Richard at a loss, not knowing how to face Baron Sophia.

"Sir Richard, the purpose of my visit today, you should know in your heart, I hope that the Harland family can return the Stopa family's collection. As for you stealing the magic treasured by the Stopa family, I will not pursue it on behalf of the Stopa family. ”

Sophia's intention was very clear, staring at Richard, ready to wait for the Haraland family to reply.

If Richard's answer doesn't satisfy Baron Sophia, it looks like he'll turn around at any moment.

Richard knew in his heart that falling out with Baron Stopa was the worst option.

Of course, he could choose not to admit it.

But how did the relationship between the nobility get along?

It's not about what you say, it's about what you do.

Once he didn't admit it, it was tantamount to giving Baron Sophia a clear attitude.

Now the strength of the Haaland family is still stronger than that of the Baron Stopa family.

Last year, the third uncle Bernie was promoted to a fourth-order professional and promoted to the deputy captain of the sixth brigade of the Northern Legion.

Counting Richard and Roland, the Haaland family has four mid-level professional combat powers.

Coupled with the foreign aid of his uncle Soros, a conflict broke out between the two families, and the Haaland family had a better chance of winning.

But in a special region like Northern Xinjiang, the aristocracy could not easily clash with their neighbors.

The Orcs of Northern Xinjiang invaded every few years, and the noble territories were often lost.

Neighbors don't get along with each other, and they have a grudge, and it's hard to cooperate when war breaks out.

Once there is a conflict between the lords, they will often not be saved, and even stumbling behind their backs.

In the end, both sides lose, and often no one can keep the territory, and the orcs are cheaper.

"Baron Stoppa's collection is in Blackriver Fort, and the badge, magic book, and breathing method are all in my hands. These things, Baron Sophia can take with him at any time. I'm very sorry about this, but in the future, the Haraland family has other magical inheritances, and I am willing to let the Stopa family copy it.

Our two families are neighbors, and I hope we can turn enemies into friends. ”

Hearing Richard's answer, Baron Sophia was quite satisfied.

Today, the Barony of Stopa has a population of less than 2,000.

These populations were all slaves purchased by Sophia.

The Stopa Territory has a full castle and cultivated mature fields, making it easier to restore production than for the Haaland family.

To defend her territory, Sophia conscripted from slaves and formed a squadron of private troops.

However, she had no breathing method in her hands, no qualified officers, no craftsmanship to resume production, and lost her family's collection of books.

A variety of problems ensued that Sophia struggled to deal with.

At this moment, Sophia overheard Richard next door actually using healing spells to heal the injured slave.

The Stopa family's lost magic book records two spells: healing minor injuries and treating minor injuries.

When the orcs invaded, Richard was stationed in a nearby castle.

There were all kinds of indications that Richard was the one who took the family book collection, and she had doubts in her heart, and immediately decided to come to Haaland's territory to meet Richard.

If Richard doesn't admit it, she's going to give Richard a fireball spell.

Then he took action to catch Richard, whether it was to negotiate with William or sue the noble court, convict the Haaland family of stealing, and take the initiative into their own hands.

Even if you offend the Haaland family, you will not hesitate to do it.

Moreover, if you catch Richard and get back the Silver Wolf Breathing Method, you can not only train soldiers, but also solve a lot of production troubles with the craft books that you cherish at home.

Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly, Richard directly admitted to stealing the books, and was willing to compensate for the loss.

Such an attitude was already beyond Baron Sophia's expectations.

Baron Sophia knew that the Harland family had just been promoted to hereditary barons, and they didn't have much background, and they couldn't have any precious books.

But this hereditary baron of first military merit was best at war.

Gaining the goodwill and favor of the Haaland family, being in the war-torn northern frontier is very important for the security of the Stopa family's territory.

Richard returned the blue badge he had with him to Sophia, and then returned the original spellbook.

After getting the magic book, Richard copied two copies very early.

One was given to her sister Wendy, and the other was kept in the family library.

Baron Stoppa's treasured books, Richard asked his sister Wendy to transcribe them in order of importance.

For the whole of last year, Wendy's main job was this work.

Over the course of a year, more than half of the Stoppa's collection had been copied, and the amount of paper and ink alone amounted to 200 gold coins.

The original books brought from Vikburg were no longer of use to the Haaland family.

"Turning enemies into friends?

Our two families are neither enemies nor friends. How can we talk about turning enemies into friends?

Could it be that the Haraland family is willing to be friends with our Stoppas? ”

"Of course, we are willing to be friends with all the nobles in the neighborhood."

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Baron Sophia took the badge and the magic book, and prepared to go to Blackriver Fort with Richard in a few days to recover the Stopa family's book collection.

Sophia was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Richard.

"There are some broken beehives here, and there are some unhatched bee eggs inside, I wonder if it will be useful for your family?"

Richard took out the Purple Head Hive from the house and showed it to Sophia.

Sophia took the broken hives and looked at them carefully for a moment, using the Detect Life spell. He immediately couldn't hide a smile on his face and said, "The remaining bee eggs still have vitality, and after using the life method, there should be some chance to activate the bee eggs." ”

Richard knew that insects were extremely vigorous, and many insect eggs could hide in the soil for more than ten years, waiting for a suitable time to hatch.

The Purple Head Peak Queen Bee is still a first-order magical beast, and the eggs laid are very special, after reading the books of Baron Stoppa's house, Richard knows that the Purple Head Peak Bee Egg is also a precious medicine that can be used to detoxify.

In particular, snake venom and scorpion venom can be removed with bee eggs.

Knowing the preciousness of this object, Richard treasured the eggs until now.

Today, the bitter lord came to the door, which made Richard very embarrassed. When Sophia was about to leave, Richard was reluctant to return the eggs to their rightful owners.
