"What? Lance!"

Longbottom almost bit his tongue off in shock.

He and the female officer looked at each other, neither of them expected that a character they had just talked about would actually appear in front of them like this.

He also killed Longbottom's son.

Longbottom walked irritably up and down the study.

He is an impulsive and irritable person, but that doesn't mean he's a fool. In fact, on the contrary, he is a very cunning and careful person. He is good at restraining his own shortcomings, and he is also good at appointing people who can make up for his shortcomings. That's why he's got to where he is today.

"Do you know what happened?" asked the female officer, calmly.

Since the guard dared to report such a strict matter to Longbottom, he was naturally ready to speak.

He briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, almost the same as the young Longbottom plotting to deal with the Lane family, but Lance killed a team of knights, and the former was angry but went there himself, and ended up dead......

Things weren't complicated, if it had been another person, Longbottom would have been killed with the army in the castle a long time ago.

But it was his son who died.

Gifted in swordsmanship, Longbottom Jr. has entered the golden stage at a young age, and is one of the few people in the kingdom who is expected to reach the pinnacle of kendo. However, such a man, but also a knight with a squadron, was crushed by Lance.

Then there seems to be only one answer.

"Is he really a wizard?" Longbottom clenched his fists.

"That's right. The female officer pushed her glasses and analyzed: "And according to my estimates." This Lance is not an ordinary wizard, at least a second-level wizard. ”

"Why~!" Longbottom asked, confused.

"Because of the strength of the high wizard apprentice, we have also seen that knights who can single out two squads, but one squadron is very tricky. Not to mention the defeat of a squadron and the killing of a golden master. The female officer replied mechanically.

When Longbottom heard the words "golden master", he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. This son was his pride, although he had other sons as well. But none of them are as good as him.

This time he's on the West Coast himself. And brought little Longbottom with him, just to hone him in the war, under his own protection, as long as he doesn't fight against the big forces of the Sea Clan or the super strong, there should be no danger of life.

Who knew this would happen. Little Longbottom didn't die at the hands of the terrible Sea Clan. Instead, he died at the hands of a wizard.

"Since he dared to come to the castle alone. It must have been for his father's sake that he had something to deal with. It also proves that he feels that he has what it takes to defeat everyone in the castle. The female officer said slowly, "We all know that wizards are a group of extremely intelligent people. And I cherish my feathers very much, and if I am not 100% sure, I am afraid that I will not risk my life. ”

"Why did he do that!?" Longbottom said in annoyance, "why didn't he just show his wizarding identity?

"Probably to get revenge on you. The female officer pondered and said: "If he shows his identity directly, you will definitely treat people with courtesy, so that he may not be embarrassed to attack you directly." It is said that wizards have their own rules of conduct, and he killed that group of knights without explanation in order to lure out your son, and in the same way that he kills little Longbottom and throws his head on the narrow bridge to lure you out. ”

"If I did rush out, would he really dare to kill me? I am the prince of the kingdom!" said Longbottom, in a hoarse voice.

"I'm not sure about that. The female officer hesitated and said, "But I guess he dared to do it." Wizards are a bunch of weirdos, their power is so amazing that we're not creatures of the same level anymore. ”

"And what shall we do?" Longbottom sat down in his chair, completely devoid of his previous majesty, "Shall we just sit here and not see him?"

"You can hide on the walls and take a look, and then let Master your and Mister Tucker test each other's strength. The female officer muttered, "If the two of them win, you can naturally take revenge on the Lane family to your heart's content, and if they both lose, then be prepared to return to him what Viscount Lane is entitled to, and there is also a huge amount of compensation." ”

"And what about my son?" said Longbottom, stamping his foot.

"One more. The female officer said calmly.

"You have many sons, but you only have one life. ”

......

Castle of the Wind, on the narrow bridge.

Not far from the city wall, a bloody human head fell to the ground.

The soldiers on guard recognized it as the head of Little Longbottom.

The Blue Feather Knights, who had just escaped, had already spread the news, and at this time, almost the entire castle knew that the second young master of the Lane family, who was studying abroad, had come back to take revenge.

This castle, which was originally the property of the Ryan family, was seized by Prince Longbottom, and Lance took back the castle and other things, which is reasonable.

He stood on the narrow bridge, but he was a little bored in his heart.

Up to now, mortal things didn't really arouse his much interest. For example, the castle in front of him seems to be impregnable, but if there is no spellcaster, Lance can destroy the entire castle in half an hour by bombarding it with the Thunder Spear and the Hand of the Vulcan.

The power of a second-level wizard can shock all mortals with a single move.

"If Longbottom hadn't been an important figure in the Hussar Kingdom in charge of fighting the Sea Clan, I would have killed it a long time ago. Lance sighed inwardly.

The Hussar Kingdom is in great need of this defense line on the west coast, and if Longbottom is killed, the defense line will inevitably be in chaos, and when the time comes, the Sea Clan will go straight into the hinterland of the kingdom, and the victims will still be ordinary human people.

Lance's killing of Longbottom Jr. was not only revenge, but also a warning.

"If this guy is still a little smart, he should come out and see me right away...... Otherwise. I'm too lazy to kill him, hmph......"

Just as he was thinking this, the gates suddenly opened.

A man in gray walked out slowly.

Lance noticed that the man in gray looked about forty years old, with a sword at his waist.

"Mr. Lance, I heard you killed Longbottom Jr. The man in gray walked over slowly, his eyes like torches: "He is my most beloved disciple." ”

Lance rolled his eyes impatiently, his gaze swept over the walls, and suddenly shouted aloud:

"Longbottom, I know you're playing a trick, but I'm sorry. This attitude of yours makes me feel very uncomfortable!"

"Before I do it. Get out of the way of this annoying guy and come out and talk to me yourself, or I'll be compensated for it when I get rid of him. ”

Lance's voice was very loud. Because he casually used a little trick of amplification.

The people of the whole Lookout Castle. They all heard Lance's arrogant voice.

And under the mountain road of the narrow bridge. Some people at Apple Farm are also belated. Viscount Ryan came with Poirot and the others, and even Lady Nancy and Becky.

They also heard Lance's words, and they couldn't help but feel how much Lance had changed.

"I want to be at the beginning. Young Master Lance is still a sick and weak boy who only knows how to hide in the study and read, but now he has become so mysterious and powerful! ”

This is the thought of those who have been in the castle for a long time.

On the city wall, Longbottom couldn't help frowning, and his first reaction was not anger, but panic!

He couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What about Mr. Tucker?"

"He said he would be coming soon. "The female officer was visibly absent-minded. Her eyes were all focused on Lance, a look of curiosity.

......

On the narrow bridge, the man in gray was angered by Lance's arrogant words.

"I, your, have never been so ignorant of me since I stepped into the pinnacle of kendo!"

The man said gloomily, "Even those legendary wizards have some respect for those who are at the pinnacle of swordsmanship. I know you seem to know a little bit of witchcraft, but you seem to be overly optimistic. ”

"Because, even if it's a wizard, I've killed a few!"

As soon as Master Your's words fell, his body suddenly disappeared in place!

His figure suddenly turned into a gray shadow, rushed in front of Lance at a very fast speed, and then changed direction with great difficulty, and the sword in his hand was extremely sharp, straight to Lance's neck.

This process is extremely short, and it can only be described as electric and flint.

Everyone watching this scene was suffocated. Because under the movements of Master Your, who was at the peak of kendo, Lance didn't move.

The sword stabbed Lance in the neck like a viper.

In the next second, just hear the clang!

Everyone was stunned to find that the long sword in your hand was actually broken like this.

And Lance touched his neck, and there was not even a single mark on it. A layer of faint crystal lurked under his skin, and the defensive power of the crystal mist was not at all something that swordsmanship could break.

Your watched this scene in disbelief, and he pounced on Lance like crazy, muttering, "Impossible, impossible......"

But before he could finish his words, he was kicked out by Lance.

Plop!

The master at the pinnacle of kendo was kicked off the narrow bridge and fell into the sea below.

"Noise. After killing a few wizard apprentices, you think you know the strength of a real wizard?"

Lance said lightly.

His voice was soft, but it reached everyone's ears.

"He's really a wizard!" Longbottom groaned, "It's over." ”

On the other hand, Apple Manor showed a look of ecstasy. Viscount Ryan showed a hint of relief, and even Becky and Nancy were a little happy.

Because of Lance's strength, it means that the Ryan family is very likely to obtain the original wealth and resources, and Griffin may also be released.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the city wall: "Lord Longbottom, I heard that you have something to do with me?"

It was a wizard in the robes of Rainbow Island.

As if grasping at the last straw, Longbottom hurriedly said to Tucker: "Mr. Tucker, this wizard in front of me wants to kill me, you see......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Tucker immediately rushed to the wall and looked down.

After he saw Lance's face clearly, and felt the terrifying aura coming from him. I can't help but change my face:

"Second-level wizard! Longbottom, you idiot!"

Without saying a word, he immediately turned around and left, and after a few breaths, he disappeared in front of Longbottom.

The soldiers on the walls and Longbottom himself were dumbfounded.

The female officer showed a strange smile: "I guessed correctly, this Lance is a second-level wizard." ”

"Hmmm, you guessed?" Lance's voice rang in her ears.

She was surprised, only to find that Lance had arrived at the city wall without knowing when.

He held a sword in his hand, and with a stroke of the sword fell, severing Longbottom's right arm with a single stroke.

In an instant, the blood on the city wall was raging, and the soldiers who had seen the strangeness of Lance showed fearful expressions, and none of them dared to step forward.

In Longbottom's pig-like screams. Lance said kindly, "Alright. Your Excellency. ”

"Now, we can sit down and talk about my father's domain. ”

......

When, half an hour later, Viscount Lane came out of his former study with a full face full of spring, Prince Longbottom respectfully escorted him out with his freshly bandaged arm.

"Mr. Lane. In fact, I was helpless at the beginning. After all, you know that. The Sea Tribes are menacing, and the manpower on the west coast is insufficient, so they will ......"

Longbottom explained with a pale face.

Viscount Ryan smiled graciously. He raised the parchment deed in his hand, which was not only stamped with Longbottom's private seal, but also the credibility of the royal family as a guarantee.

"I can understand that as long as your family can fulfill the contents of this contract on time. ”

Longbottom hurriedly promised: "Certainly, certainly, the first batch of supplies will be delivered within half a month." After that, it will be delivered in three installments within six months. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Adults are stationed on the west coast, resisting the invasion of the Sea Clan day and night, and they have worked hard, so don't send it. ”

With a smile on his face, Viscount Ryan took the parchment and left Lookout Castle and returned to Apple Estate.

The territory was not to return, but in a safer part of the kingdom's hinterland, a richer, but undeveloped piece of land was canonized to Viscount Lane - in the name of Her Royal Highness, on the grounds that Viscount Lane was on the west coast and had a good role in defending against the Sea Clan. In this campaign, the territory was returned to the royal family, and the royal family naturally had to make compensation.

It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the compensation is too great.

Originally, Viscounty of Lane only had five towns, but the new territory is four times larger than the previous one!

This brand new virgin land has just been explored by a few adventurers. In the kingdom, only the two powerful marquis and Longbottom's own family have a territory that is similarly vast.

The royal family of the Hussar Kingdom was originally going to start developing it next year, but now under the strong oppression of Lance, Longbottom had to use his power to canonize it to the Ryan family.

In addition to this, the parchment contains a series of unequal trade treaties and loans that Longbottom personally financed to aid the construction of Gem Bay, amounting to three years of revenue from the state treasury and repaying for 9,999 years......

As for the subjects of the territory, after Viscount Lane announced the transfer of the territory, if they were willing to follow the Viscount, Longbottom must not stop them.

In this way, the manpower emptiness on the West Coast may be doomed. After all, Gem Bay is safer than the West Coast, there are no sea tribes snooping day and night, and the land is said to be very rich. In addition, Viscount Lane is also one of the few good lords among the lords in various parts of the kingdom, and ordinary farmers and craftsmen are naturally willing to follow him.

As soon as he thought of this, Viscount Lane's footsteps became more and more pleasant.

When he returned to Apple Farm, everyone was cheering. Griffin was also released, and after some washing, he didn't seem to have too many problems.

It's just a little mentally cowardly, and it seems that I've been tortured in the dungeon.

When he learns that it was Lance who rescued him, Griffin's state is even more strange.

Seeing it in his eyes, the viscount couldn't help but sigh in his heart, pulled him aside and encouraged him a few words, and then mentioned the prospect of a new territory, which made Griffin feel a little more energetic.

Lance himself, on the other hand, rested early in his study.

Although his image has become extremely tall in the hearts of the people in the manor, it has also brought a huge sense of estrangement to both sides.

He could clearly feel the awe of him.

They look into their gaze as if they are not looking at a fellow human.

Lance didn't like that feeling. But he also knew that when he embarked on the path of a wizard, he was destined to endure loneliness.

His body really can't be called an ordinary normal human being.

"I don't know what to say, kid, you came back this time and gave me too many surprises. The viscount pushed the door open, and the excitement had not yet subsided.

"That's what I'm supposed to do. Lance smiled slightly: "When I come back this time, I just want to see how the family is doing, and then go and do something." ”

"I'll escort you all the way to Gem Bay, and after that, I'll have to leave. ”

The smile on Viscount Lane's face faded suddenly.

He was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled wryly and said, "I understand." ”

"You're a real man, Lance. You're stronger than I thought you would, and with my short-sighted eyes, I couldn't guess where you could go. ”

"But, my son, I am always proud of you. ”

The Viscount patted Lance on the shoulder and said firmly.

A warm current slipped through Lance's heart, and the father and son were silent for a while.

Lance asked slowly: "Actually, the most direct reason why I came back this time is because of Irene." ”

"I didn't see her in the manor, what's wrong with her?"

Viscount Lane showed a deep groan on his face: "Your sister, she was taken away by a woman. ”

Of course, she did it willingly. Actually, I don't know the specific situation at that time, I was still killing brute orcs on the Red River Plain with your brother at that time. ”

It is said that she also seems to have been taken away by a mysterious wizard. She left a letter mentioning a place called Takaron. ”

"Oh yes, the mysterious man who took it is named Daredevil. (To be continued......)
