Seven days later, Viscount Birch returned to Birch City.

Viscount Birch told his adviser about this with a gloomy face.

When the counsellor heard this, he took a deep breath and exclaimed:

"This Xu Kuang is not simple."

"Isn't it simple? This guy has been so bold that he has gone to heaven, and now that we have completely torn our faces with him, I'm afraid it has reached the point where I don't have him. ”。

Viscount Birch frowned, his mind was racing, but there was no good way.

However, the strategists around him deeply understood that in order to deal with Mushroom Ridge, they had to be fast, otherwise, Mushroom Ridge would soon grow into a transcendent force that could confront White Birch City head-on.

But if you want to control Mushroom Ridge, it is impossible to mobilize troops.

The opportunity has been lost, if you continue to oppose Xu Kuang strongly, I am afraid that the first to jump out will not be Xu Kuang, but Count Moriel.

It is so strange that this kingdom does not collect taxes from the nobles, does not allow the nobles to fight with each other, but is helpless against the fights between the nobles, and in some places, the laws of the kingdom are not even comparable to the faces of the higher lords, all of which hint at the incompetence of the king.

Of course, the strategist was thinking about this in his heart, and in front of Viscount Bai Hua, he would definitely not say it.

Suddenly, something happened to the counselor!

He hurriedly looked at Viscount Bai Hua, his eyes burning, which made Viscount Bai Hua a little surprised.

"My lord, although we can't use our troops, we can still use another article of the nobility law."

"Which one?".

"Duels, nobles can fight between each other.".

Duels are written in the laws of the kingdom, and if there is a conflict between the nobles, it can be resolved through a duel, no matter how big the difference in strength is, as long as both parties agree, the duel can be carried out under the supervision of the authoritative nobles.

The hope that had ignited in Viscount Birch's heart was dashed at once.

"He's not going to agree.".

The strategist smiled:

"It doesn't matter, we can use the conscription law to recruit Xu Kuang and the people of his territory to do things, so that he can't develop."

Viscount Birch's eyes lit up.

No way, the law of this kingdom is like this, the lower the class, the greater the injustice, and the baron, as the lowest level of the nobility, is of course the most unjust.

"Just do as the gentleman said, quick, prepare clothes for me, I'm going to Mushroom Ridge."

The strategist smiled bitterly:

"I'll go with you this time, if it doesn't work out this time, then we won't be able to restrain Xu Kuang at all in the future."

Viscount Bai Hua didn't say much, he knew that the situation was basically what the strategists had analyzed, and there would be no such shop in this village after that.

……

Seven days ago

Xu Kuang led the people of Mushroom Ridge to accompany Moriel for a whole day, and Moriel's strong curiosity about Mushroom Ridge made Mushroom Ridge a little painful, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only accompany Moriel, and it was only at night that he was all liberated from this pain.

Zhuge Duan found Xu Kuang and said to Xu Kuang:

"Lord, we have to guard against it."

Xu Kuang asked in amazement:

"What else do we need to guard against?".

Zhuge Duan took out a copy of the laws of the kingdom and pointed out some of the above clauses to Xu Kuang:

"What if he invited you to a duel? If you don't agree, he will inevitably take advantage of the situation to activate the conscription law, and we have to guard against such a countermeasure. ”。

Xu Kuang only pondered for a moment before he understood that this kind of thing was possible.

It is already difficult for Mushroom Ridge and Baihua City to get along peacefully, even if Xu Kuang has no intention of dealing with Viscount Baihua, in order to erase the troubles, Viscount Baihua will definitely take advantage of Xu Kuang's failure to grow up and deal with Xu Kuang first.

This made Xu Kuang a little nerve-wracking, if he really duel, his chances of winning would be estimated to be very small.

"Looks like I have to start with what I'm good at."

Xu Kuang is such a person, who will definitely speculate on the viciousness of the enemy to the greatest extent.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Zhuge Duan:

"I know, sir let's leave first, I know it in my heart.".

After Zhuge left, Xu Kuang hurriedly came to the laboratory.

This is the first place Xu Kuang to rebuild, from an earthen wall to a solid reinforced concrete wall, and at the moment it is full of various materials, and there are several figures busy in the laboratory.

Xu Kuang said hello to this group of people and went directly into his exclusive laboratory.

Instead of rushing to make it, he began to check out the mall.

After redeeming the powerful sleeping pills, he only has three mall points.

Xu Kuang sighed, closed the mall, and clicked on the functions one by one, but did not find anything helpful to him.

He thought of the task, the task of the complaint has not been completed yet, which makes Xu Kuang a little anxious, he knows that this cannot be the system delay, but Moriel has not believed him yet.

Xu Kuang didn't have time to think about why Moriel obviously didn't believe him, and he had to give him the right to defend himself and fight back, he understood very well that since Moriel had come to Mushroom Ridge, he couldn't be as eager as before, but instead gave Moriel freedom to the maximum extent and minimized his sense of existence.

All in all, let Moriel see for herself, see for herself, and let her convince herself.

Xu Kuang scratched his head, put these troublesome things behind him, and began to think of alchemy items related to the battle.

A large number of alchemy items flashed through his mind, and he pondered it before finally choosing some potions.

There is no way, the alchemy machinery in this world is completely supported by the magic circle, and it does not follow the mechanical principle at all, Xu Kuang really can't look down on it, so he only chooses some potions.

The first one is called formic acid, which is actually just sulfuric acid with added materials, and the reason why Xu Kuang chose this thing is simply that he has ready-made materials at hand, which is easy to make.

However, Xu Kuang is not ready to do too much, this thing is a double-edged sword, and it is not of much use to do too much.

The second is called obstacle avoidance powder, which can resist the curse attack of the cursed priest, Xu Kuang is always worried that Viscount Bai Hua will play tricks, so he has prepared some of this.

The third is called a berserk potion, which increases strength for a short time, but at the cost of being weakened for a while.

In addition to this, there are smoke grenades, lime powder, incendiary grenades, grenades, flashbangs, .......

Xu Kuang: ......

He was suddenly a little speechless, judging from these potions and equipment alone, the alchemy priest was really not a good thing.

Time passed in a flash, and for ten days in a row, Moriel showed no signs of leaving, which made Xu Kuang a little uncomfortable.

On the eleventh day, the rain was a little lighter.

Moriel found Xu Kuang and asked Xu Kuang to accompany her for a walk, but Xu Kuang had no reason to refuse, so she had to agree.

Moriel looked at it and asked:

"I've basically determined that what you said is right, but there is one thing I don't quite understand, and I hope you can answer it."

Xu Kuang smiled:

"Count, please say, I must know everything."
