129. Mind
"If you leave now, it means that I will leave too, there is no need for the remaining two hundred elites of the coalition army to stay here at all!"
Pissen squinted at Trick, the irritability in his heart that made him disgusted with the pig-like ally now.
"You can also leave together, and it will be regarded as a loss-making deal. β
The corners of Trick's mouth tilted upward, and his drooping eyelids were very disdainful, "Besides, you found me in the first place, and now I don't blame you for so many people, you have a lot of emotions, what a big temper!"
"Then you shouldn't have come in the first place!"
Pissen slammed the table, and with a loud "bang", the table fell apart and crumbled!
After all, he has an eighth-level strength, and even if he doesn't use his fighting energy, it is not something that an ordinary wooden table can resist.
"Retreat at the slightest obstacle, you don't have the qualities and glory of nobility at all!"
"Hehe, Baron Pissen has the noble quality of a nobleman, so you pay for all my losses this time, how about it?"
Trick asked, smiling, a shameless pariah in Pyssen's eyes.
"Trick, if that's what you say, then your territory will be responsible for my losses this time. β
"What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything, it's just that the territory of the two of us is next to each other, so I'm not worried about letting you go back like this. β
Pisen's tone suddenly became a little gloomy, "Maybe the two of us can compete outside of Redwood Town, and if we win, we can not only make up for the loss but also have one more territory!"
"You're threatening me!"
"I never intended to threaten you, because I was telling the truth. Although Dimon is not lightly injured, it is more than enough to turn you into a captive who can be exchanged for gold!"
"Do you think my knights are the butchers of the village?"
"No, in my eyes, they are all butchers' animals!"
......
"Two noble barons, please don't be impatient!"
Celt expected someone to back down, but they didn't expect it to get into a fight.
Pissen's resolute attitude surprised him even more, and he did not hesitate to start a war with Triek. But if you think about it, this is indeed an opportunity to annex Barony Trick's domain.
"It's understandable that you want to leave now, but please don't fight among the two barons, otherwise whoever wins before the two of you will only end up being picked up by Layton for nothing. β
Celt spoke earnestly, and as he spoke, he made a cup of tea for the two barons, who glared at each other and sat back in their seats.
"Baron Trick will not resent me if he wants to leave, and Baron Pitson is even more grateful to me for leaving me. β
Having said that, Celtic's eyes shifted to Pissen.
"Since Baron Pissen is willing to go out of the nest, perhaps we can find other partners. β
Pissen didn't have to be tied to this deal, so he asked tentatively: "Is anyone willing to cooperate with us in this situation?"
Celtic smiled mysteriously, leaned over to Pisen's side, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "My sister knows that the Rhine family's wealth represents the family's heritage, and I think that mage will also covet that wealth." β
"Just the other day, after they took possession of the Baron's Castle, they had dug up their share of the buried wealth. If anyone is willing to cooperate, I am willing to give up half of that wealth as payment. β
Hearing this, Pisen's eyebrows couldn't help but tremble, and his heart moved slightly.
He can roughly guess how much of an old baron's family has a certain amount of background, and if he can get half of it, it will at least save his branch a few decades of struggle.
In this kind of backwood, there may be more years.
This also caught Trick's attention, and although Celt deliberately lowered his voice, it was clear that he did not avoid him.
"Ahem, now that I think about it, if I can win by pressing down all the standing armies in my territory, I might be able to try it too. β
Trick cleared his throat and looked at Celtic, "After all, high reward and high risk, and high risk also requires high reward. If you're really willing to split half of your family's wealth, I can certainly consider staying and working together again. β
"It's great that Baron Trick is willing to stay!"
Although he was always sneering in his heart, he still had a smile on his face, "Then we can save a lot of unnecessary trouble, and the cooperation between us is also very pleasant!"
Pissen next to him snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.
Not long afterward, Trick offered to write a letter back to the territory. So the two barons found their confidants, wrote a letter of transfer of troops, stamped the family crest with a wax seal, and sent it back to the territory immediately.
Seeing that the two of them had finished writing their letters, Celt couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and left the hall alone to go to the side building to rest.
Having succeeded in drawing a big pie for the two barons with his vain wealth and future, he now had to be a little proud.
What Celtic couldn't see was that not long after he left, Pissen and Trick glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths showed subtle smiles.
The two of the baron's henchmen soon left the town and headed straight west. However, before they could leave the town, a black eagle stared at them in the air, so it didn't take long for the two messengers to run outside the town before they were stopped by Wood's undead.
The strength of these two henchmen was only in the early sixth level, and under the interception of the black knight, the ghouls swarmed up, and if it wasn't for Wood stopping the messenger, they would have been torn to shreds.
More than an hour later, Wood delivered the messenger and the letter to Levi.
"Well, yes, and surprises. β
After reading the letter, Levi smiled with great satisfaction.
Caterina was a little curious and asked, "What is it written in the letter that makes my brother so happy?" β
In fact, not only her, but also Leighton and Gunler also wondered what the enemy had written that would make the adult happy. It's just that Layton didn't dare to ask, and Gunler didn't want to ask.
"Here, see for yourselves. β
Levi handed the letter to Katarina, and several people began to circulate it.
Layton was even more puzzled after reading it, because this was an order to increase the troops in Honglin Town, and fortunately it was intercepted, otherwise the situation of the Rhine family would likely become difficult.
"Master Mage, this ......"
"Layton, Katarina, do you two want to expand your family territory?"
The eyes of the rulers of the two families lit up, and they suddenly came to their senses, staring straight at Levi.
Both of them knew that Levi would not say this for no reason, so they must have a great deal of certainty in saying so.
"If there is anything you command, I'm sorry for you!"
"Yes, say it quickly, brother!"
"Originally, it was a problem for us. β
Seeing their doubts, Levi shook the two letters and explained with a smile: "But now that this thing is in our hands, we can rely on these two letters to transfer out the standing army of their territory." β
"We can choose an ambush point at random on the way from the two families to Honglin Town, and according to the number of standing troops revealed in the letter, we can completely wipe them out one by one. When the time comes, there will be no standing army, and those two territories will be just grilled meat steaks on a plate for the two of you, and you can put everything in your mouth with a knife. β
Levi said in such detail, Layton and Caterina are not stupid, they have basically figured out the whole process and the result. According to this method, there is at least an 80% chance of success!
"I beg your pardon for my rudeness, Master Mage, but the sender of these two letters......"
"It's still the same two people. β
Levi looked sideways at Valila and ordered, "Those two will give you three hours." If you can't get them to obey, just kill them, and use my methods. β
"Yes, master. Valira answered and went down to do her work.
Levi's method is to raise zombies, but such zombies are dull, and even if they send letters, they may be seen through by the enemy.
"However, this plan still needs to seize the moment, first capture Honglin Town, and then lure those two armies out one after the other before the news spreads. β
"I'll write a letter to Mira and ask her to send all the troops in the territory, two days, two days will be enough!"
"Don't worry,"
Seeing Layton's anxious appearance, Levi couldn't help but laugh twice, "We have now sealed off the entire Honglin Town invisibly, and the news can't come in or out, so you can have at least three or four days to arrange these things." β
"Be steady, don't panic, it's the same with Caterina. For the past two days, let the soldiers rest as if nothing had happened. β
"Understood. β
The heads of the two families responded in unison, and then Levi turned to leave, found a hidden place and returned to the plane, where he found Arberry and Fili, who were studying the magic pattern.
"Master, is there anything going on?"
Arberry slumped listlessly in his chair, his loose robe curled in an undulating arc.
Seeing her loveless appearance, Levi asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"
Arberry didn't reply, and sighed silently, and then Fili next to her explained: "Not long ago, Abery drew a set of primary magic patterns, she was in very good shape, I thought she could succeed, but she made mistakes in the last two magic arrays, and finally failed. β
Not to mention that it was okay, as soon as Fili mentioned it, it was as if she had touched Arbery's wound, and her eyes immediately turned red.
"Obviously you can, it's just a little bit!"
The usually steady dark elf mage couldn't help but have some temper after experiencing this blow. After all, he is a child in his heart, he lost his temper and pouted his face, and there were a few crystal tears in the corners of his eyes, and it looked like he was about to lie on the table and cry.
Levi, a soft-hearted person who is soft-hearted to the people, couldn't see girls crying, and he was at a loss for a while.
He hesitated for a moment and quickly sat down next to Arberry, but he didn't know what to do.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't be sad, next time it will be successful. β
Levi caressed Arbery's back, soothing Arbery like a cat.
But this method did not work at all, but Arbery's eyes became redder, like a flash flood after a rainstorm, which could burst at any moment.
"Why don't you stop the magic pattern for a while, I'll ask Layton to buy you a batch of high-quality long swords, and you can study the enchantment for a while to relax and relax?"
Levi cautiously asked tentatively, for fear that he had made a mistake and let the dark elf mage's water flow out.
However, he still couldn't control the situation in the end, and Arbery's tears flowed out as soon as he spoke, and then the dam of his eyes that had completely broken through surged out.
Levi was really at a loss for what to do, and hurriedly sped up the movements of his hands, but Arberry suddenly threw himself into his arms, and whimpering kept coming.
The dazed Levi didn't say anything, holding Arberry in his arms, carefully repeating the smooth caress like a hair.
Fili, who was on the side, saw this scene and quietly left.
After about seven or eight minutes, the sound of Arbery's crying in his arms gradually disappeared. Then she straightened up and left Levi's embrace.
"I'm sorry master, it was me who lost my temper. β
Looking at the wet tear stains on Levi's chest, Arberry suddenly felt a little apologetic.
She herself didn't know why, this kind of failure had happened a few times before, and it hadn't happened before. But as soon as I saw Levi today, I felt that I was particularly wronged, and she couldn't help it when she mentioned it by Fili.
"It's okay, it's normal, it's good to cry a little, to relieve stress. β
Levi smiled slightly awkwardly and performed a little trick to dry all the tears in front of him. But despite this, traces of the dark robes can still be seen piece by piece.
Arberry was ashamed and embarrassed, and hurriedly thought about changing the topic,
"By the way, master, what are you looking for us?"
"Remember the poison I said last time? I wonder if you developed it?"
The poison that Levi said was developed by Arbery and the others the last time they wanted to catch the Horned Hippogriff, but it was delayed due to other things, and now it just happened to come in handy.
"Well, it's been ready for a long time, I'll go get it for you. β
Arberry turned back to the cabin where they usually worked, and a moment later came out with two clear crystal bottles, one containing a miserable white powder and the other a black-red liquid.
"This white one is called Magma Fury, it is highly poisonous, and as long as it is mixed into a glass of water, that glass of water can kill people below level ten on the spot. β
"And this bottle is the sigh of the night, made from the remaining accessories of Magma Fury. Don't look at the dark color, but the effect of this medicine will only make you sleepy for two days, and it only takes a little bit. β
After ArbΓ©'s introduction, he handed the two crystal bottles to Levi.
The two bottles are very different in color, and it is very easy to distinguish them, and Levi remembered them at a glance, so he took them and put them away.
But he didn't leave immediately, and set his sights on Arbery's body,
"Don't worry about the magic pattern, you've already walked in the door, and you're going to step in immediately. β
Levi stretched out his hand to help Arberry wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and comforted softly: "I didn't put pressure on you, and you don't put too much pressure on yourself." In addition to the radish in the plane now, there are only two mages of you, but they are all my treasures!"
"Uh-huh!"
Arbery, with his head down, answered softly, taking Levi's words to heart.
