The Book of Bearers contains three Burst Fireballs and two Nature Summons. And in a month's time, Richard Guò meditated to increase his magic power with all his might, increasing the magic power by a full four hundred units, and now even if he uses sacrifice to release a seventh-level magic, as long as he does not increase the power of the sacrifice, he will not drop the magic power level.

Over the course of a month, Richard completed two sets of suits in addition to finally completing the obscure mood on Quicksand. The seven magic horses created by the brood have arrived in Oasis City. With mounts, there are also constructed knights. Richard selected five Rank 12 Akmund warriors and formed his first team of Constructed Knights. These five suit-constructing knights all have combat power equivalent to level fifteen. And Richard armed them to the teeth with all the finest equipment, and then stopped.

At this moment, everything is ready, and there is only one reason for war.

When Baron Chuckett stormed Oasis City, he had no idea that he was about to become the trigger for a war.

When Chakett met Richard, Richard seemed in a good mood, in stark contrast to the baron.

Richard certainly had reason to be in a good mood, and in the past month, he had been particularly effective in his meditations, and his mana had almost doubled as fast as before. In other words, Richard's mana has increased eight to ten times faster than ordinary mages in the past month. The main reason for the rapid increase in mana is that the chance of high-tier stars appearing is higher than in the past. This made Richard decide to continue cultivating the Phantom Star Bloodline for the next period of time, and he must see what happens when he is in the fourth order. In addition, when it comes to capturing the stars, wisdom and true talent also play an important role. And Richard at least found a way to improve his talent for intelligence.

Baron Chakett, who sat across from Richard, was dusty, his hair dirty and messy, sticking together, and his eyes bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept well for the past few nights. Compared to the last time he left, he was thinner and more emaciated, and he hadn't seen him for months, as if he had aged ten years.

Chakett subconsciously rubbed his hands together and said in a somewhat nervous voice: "Lord Richard, you must help me!

Richard first ordered a cup of black tea to be brought to it, with a little liquor in it, to make Chakett quiet for a while, and then said, "No hurry, Chucett." Say something slowly, you get here, it's safe. ”

Chuckett really seemed a little more relaxed, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Richard, this family disaster is actually caused by the batch of magical equipment you gave me......"

Chakett recounted it a little messily, but after a few moments, Richard understood what had happened.

It turned out that after the magical equipment that Chuckett gave to Earl Burr was discovered by the Mage Guild, the Mage Guild had secretly contacted Earl Burr several times. They privately promised that if Count Burr admitted that it was illegal to buy magical equipment from Richard, then the Mage Guild would no longer hold the Count accountable for the incident, and would point the finger at Richard. If Earl Burr is willing to cooperate with the Mage Guild to come forward and accuse Richard, then the Mage Guild promises not only to return the magic equipment worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but also to give a certain discount when supplying equipment to the Earl in the future.

Faced with a double temptation and a silent threat, Earl Burr finally couldn't resist it, admitting that he had violated the rules of the Mage Guild by buying a large amount of magical equipment from Richard and writing down the materials.

For some time afterward, the Mage Guild became completely silent, but it did not return the confiscated magical equipment. Earl Burr was uneasy, and after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to ask the Mage Guild for it.

However, just a week ago, a dozen black-robed law enforcement mages from the Mage Guild, with the assistance of hundreds of elite knights, raided Earl Burr's castle, captured the earl, and took possession of the castle. The Count of Burr was then taken to Lausanne, the headquarters of the Mage Society, and imprisoned in the Secret Prison. The confession that the Count had compromised with the Mage's Guild had now become the most powerful weapon in his trial. It is worth pondering that the name of the supplier of the illegal trade was omitted from the judgment of the Mage Guild, and Richard was not mentioned positively.

When the news broke, the entire Sequoia Kingdom was in an uproar!

The mage guild's tough actions made all the nobles on the ground uneasy and angry for a while, and the voices of condemnation were endless. If you want to judge and punish a real nobleman, or a real nobleman who belongs to the earl rank, even the king cannot do it at will. And the Mage Guild has made it, and although they have a good excuse, the nobles still have to ask who gave them such rights.

However, the Earl of Burr was a neutral nobleman and did not belong to either of the royal family and the three major dukes. In normal times, this allowed him to avoid conflicts between the giants, but now, it also made him realize that he did not have a strong ally around him in a critical moment. And in this matter, for some reason, the royal family and the three dukes remained surprisingly silent, and the other nobles just continued to put pressure on the Mage Association and protested, but the Mage Association's attitude was surprisingly tough and did not respond.

Since there were no organizers, although the protests of the nobles were violent, none of them really wanted to jump out and start a war with the behemoth of the Mage Guild. Therefore, no matter how loud the public opinion is, in fact, it can only be stopped in the end, and the Earl of Burr is allowed to be tried.

Hearing this, Richard asked, "What will be the outcome of the trial?"

"The best outcome would be to confiscate the magical equipment and pay a large fine. Chuckett smiled wryly and hesitated for a moment before adding, "Worst result...... It is captivity, even hanging. ”

Richard immediately frowned and said, "Hanging? Does the Mage Guild have such a right? Even the king does not have the right to execute an earl at will!"

"In theory, yes, but in practice there are many ways to deal with it. For example, he was secretly executed in a secret prison, and then said to the outside that he died of physical discomfort, or old age, or even suicide. There are many such means. ”

Richard thought about it, and understood that the Mage Guild would most likely use this method, at least to give the other nobles a fig leaf, even if it was too small.

"And what about the territory?"

Chuckett spread his hands and said, "Divide, and then gradually eat the whale swallow, that's it." "The head of the family has fallen into such an indisputable death, and no matter how strong the successor is, I am afraid it will be difficult to keep all the original interests. And the Mage Guild will definitely not let the county be smoothly controlled by the next one, and split succession is the most likely form, and in this process, the internal strife of the family and external erosion, the county will definitely cease to exist.

Richard nodded, picked up the black tea, took a sip, and then said unhurriedly: "I can help you with this matter." But do you really have the courage to be the enemy of the Mage Guild? I mean...... War!"

Chuckett was startled at first, looking a little panicked, and then he calmed down, and his face gradually became gloomy and determined. He hoarsely said fiercely: "It's done! If all my territory is mobilized, I will be able to pull out 2,000 soldiers! But among them, there are only 1,000 people who can really fight, and the other 1,000 are not well equipped and the training is not in place." ”

Richard knew that mobilizing 2,000 men would definitely be an outpouring for a baron, so he said, "Okay, you go back and gather the army, and when you have gathered 2,000 men, I will intervene in this matter." ”

Baron Chakt stood up and shouted, "In a week! I will assemble the army in a week!"

Richard took out a map of the Bloodstained Lands, pointed to his territory that was still under construction, and said, "Very good." This is my territory, and you will gather your troops here. I'll join you in a week. ”

Baron Chackett suddenly fell to one knee, saluted Richard with a vassal-to-lord salute, and then strode out of the drawing room.

During the whole process, Quicksand has been quietly watching and listening to the side.

Richard paced back and forth in the meeting room.

Quicksand said: "It's a little strange, the Mage Association is doing this, in fact, it is the biggest blow to the royal family and the three major dukes, this is a challenge to the royal power naked/naked/naked." Why are they all silent? There must be a reason behind this, but we can ask the Duke of Blue Wolf about it. Also, the Mage Guild didn't mention your name directly, but released Baron Chuckett back. "If it weren't for the Mage Guild secretly releasing water, with the speed and strength with which they captured Earl Burr, Baron Chakett would not have been able to leave the country smoothly.

Richard nodded and said, "It seems that the Mage Guild is a little more difficult to deal with than we originally expected. But there's nothing hard to guess about, it's just that they're going to drag me into the water or something. As for the royal family, I think it's possible that the Mage Guild has negotiated with them and is ready to divide my interests in the Bloodstained Lands. The benefits of this trade route can be measured in tens of millions a year, and the majesty of the royal power can be remedied afterwards by a joint declaration or the like. ”

"And what are you going to do?" asked Quicksand.

Richard smiled and said, "What else can we do, let's fight a war first! Anyway, no matter what calculations they have, war is what we want." If you have fought on the battlefield, you can know what kind of goods this mage association is. ”

"Okay! That guy is looking forward to war every day. ”

Hearing the name of the battle priest, Richard snorted heavily.

Quicksand also snorted, and said with a different meaning: "Our Eternal Dragon Palace's battle priests, at least we don't have the habit of taking off our clothes casually!"

Richard looked stunned, suddenly picked up Quicksand, dragged her into the bedroom, threw her on the bed, and then pounced. Quicksand struggled, screaming, resisting, and finally fell. However, during the whole process, she never used the Divine Fighting Technique, otherwise it is still two to say whether Richard can succeed.
