111. Enemy Attack
Levi had been willing to try it, and now that Mira had asked him, he had just happened to experiment with Dix.
"The relationship between this brother and sister is not simple. ”
Looking at Mira, who had left with joy because she had received his promise, Levi couldn't help but think a little.
Mira was clearly more concerned about Dix's condition than Layton.
Although many things cannot be put on the surface, they are not unusual in aristocratic circles in private. Levi saw a lot in Kenriwa's humanities books.
After Mira left, Levi called Layton over and handed Judy the illustrated materials to the other party, asking him to collect a batch of the above items.
Next, Leighton reported some important events that had happened in the territory, as well as the tasks that Levi had given him.
The events of the Baron's Castle are still a source of discussion in Bobi Town, and the story is getting more and more outrageous, and three versions have been circulated in the town's two taverns.
And this is when Leighton has been exposed to the civilian sphere of view and personally gives orders to the soldiers.
It is rumored in the tavern that Baron Layton has been controlled by a necromancer, and that he is no longer human, but has become an undead creature. This version is the shortest-lived one, as the next day, under the watchful eye of the knights of the family, Baron Layton drank the holy water that could fight the undead - the water of the river blessed by the priest using divine magic.
There are two versions left, one is that Baron Layton cooperated with the tribes of the Northern Wilderness of the Takagi Empire, and the other says that he made a pact with the devil and gave his soul to the devil.
These two versions are different from the necromancer's control, and they are completely unfounded and fabricated, so as time goes by and there are no more accidents in the Baron's Castle and Bobi Town, the rumors of these two versions have gradually weakened.
However, Layton took advantage of this opportunity to catch several spies from all sides.
Leighton has also investigated the situation of the Source Essence Blue Cobalt in Kenriwa, and it is also considered a valuable magic material here. When crafting magical equipment, alchemists often put some source essence blue cobalt powder into it.
However, this metal is not rare in Kenriwa, such as the one that Levi obtained from the Joseph family, which is worth three units of magic crystals, about five thousand gold coins.
This price is not cheap in Kenriva, but it is nothing compared to Mithril and Adamantite, which are magic materials that cost thousands of gold coins in the size of a thumb.
The most important thing is that the price is dozens of times lower than that of Arnosted, and the gap between the two is unimaginable, which makes Levi's heart instantly become hot.
But this time he was already mentally prepared, and his face was also silent. After all, now that he has the source essence blue cobalt, he has no channel to sell.
Another problem also lay for Levi, who might need a lot of gold coins to buy the metal - Levi couldn't go anywhere like a robber and loot everywhere.
It was also not considered that he would have a trade route in Kenriwa quickly, otherwise Levi would have prepared some gold.
There were some reserves in the Adamantite and Mithril planes, as well as a pile of real iron ore, but these were reserved for the three mages to practice enchantment.
It's possible to sell some enchanted weapons, but it's hard to scale up with three mages right now.
Leighton then reported to Levi on the recruitment and training of the recruits. His method was to take half of the town's defensive militia into the standing army for training, and then mix the veterans with the recruits while adding training tasks to the recruits.
The humans of Kenriwa are generally very strong, and with the dangers of the villages and towns outside, most of the adult men have mastered some basic sword skills, and some of them are hunters, so they can be called soldiers after some rigorous training.
Although in a one-on-one situation, none of them may be the opponent of the kobolds, but they are also superior in numbers.
The action of recruit training is not small, and Layton caught a few spies and could not stop the news from spreading, I believe Celt will know soon.
But in this way, it is impossible to launch an attack now, and the recruits will have to train for at least half another month.
After reporting this, Layton took out a scroll and sent it to Levi, "Master Mage, this is the map of my family's territory that I have redrawn, including the maps of several nearby family territories. ”
This mission was improvised by Levi a few days ago before he returned to the plane, and asked the Dark Elf Warrior to give it instructions to Layton.
"Hmm. ”
After Levi took the scroll, he opened it and looked at it.
This map is very large, the length of the spread out can be one and a half meters, the delicate parchment looks a little rough, but the touch is very thick and soft, obviously multiple layers pressed together, and the surface has been specially processed.
It contains detailed information about the various places of the Joseph family, several times more detailed than Dix's drawing. The map also shows all aspects of the Rhine family. As an enemy, Layton did his homework, while the accounts of the other surrounding families were a bit rough, indicating only some key roads and landforms.
Levi glanced at the map a few times, and Layton pointed to the red dots marked on it and said, "According to your orders, the places marked on it are several cemeteries with a relatively long history, and there have been wars in these two places where the triangle is drawn, and it is said that many bones are buried on the spot. If you're interested, check it out. ”
Layton was not surprised by Levi's search for a cemetery, and everyone saw the undead in the front yard in the Fort Baron War, which is why there was news that the Baron was controlled by a necromancer.
"yes, I see. ”
Levi put away the map, and Leighton finished reporting his affairs, and then stepped back.
After Baron Layton left, Levi called in the two Dark Elf warriors who were guarding outside, opened the portal and told them to change their guards.
Soon Levi also returned to the plane and continued to study the drawing of the magic pattern.
Half a month passed quickly, and the war between Joseph and the Rhine family gradually subsided, and in the eyes of outsiders, this war should have ended to this extent.
But in reality, neither Leighton nor Celtic let up.
The Joseph family's surge alerted Celts, and although the training focused on the defensive battle of the city walls, it did not take Celts lightly.
What made him even more nervous was the disappearance of the two men who had been purchased by the Shadow Hand, as well as the woman who appeared in the town of Onkeri who appeared to be Katarina.
But it wasn't all bad news for Celtic, and according to his knowledge, the woman who suspected Caterina had taken over the town of Ankeri and had a hostile relationship with the Joseph family.
He knew that Leighton had sent soldiers to attack the town of Encry, but he didn't know why he had withdrawn his army.
Unfortunately, the towns of Ankeri and Bobi are now tightly sealed, and Celtic has received too little information to find out what is happening behind the scenes.
On the other hand, Levi's daily pressure is much less.
During the day, he was mainly busy studying the magic pattern, and at night, if time permitted, Levi and Wood would visit the cemetery one by one according to the map markings.
In the past half month, Wood's undead plane has grown by leaps and bounds, and the number of golden skeletons has surged to ten, and there are eight berserk ghouls.
And there is a Berserk Ghoul who has a tendency to evolve further and become the King of Raging Ghouls. In that case, the ghouls born from the undead plane will be stronger in the future, and even berserk ghouls will be born directly.
It's just that Levi regrets one thing, he doesn't know how to upgrade the undead plane, and Wood used to have a pile of books that doesn't record it.
After sweeping the cemetery, those living corpses born from the Wood Plane have been able to refine enough corpse essence, and now they only need to wait about ten days to complete the condensation.
Next, Levi needs to collect more corpses.
......
Half a month is a short time, but the weather is getting colder unconsciously, and the soldiers patrolling in the town of Doto at night will wear an extra piece of underwear.
If it's windy at night, even if you wear too much, you can't help but shrink your neck.
More than a month had passed since the capture of the town of Doto, and calm had largely returned to the town, and the matters discussed in the tavern by the guards after the changing of the guard at night had become lighter.
At this time, a soldier in the tavern with an open shirt poured a large sip of wine into his mouth and touched the chest of the maid next to him, causing the other party to leave a shy white eye.
"It's a natural!"
The soldier glanced at him reluctantly, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and remembered the story he had heard of Knight Cotton.
"Eh, I said, do you all know what happened to Lord Desai's manor recently?"
There were two other soldiers who had changed the guard beside him, and the wooden cups that had been touching each other were quickly put down, their eyes revealing excitement, staring at each other tightly.
"If you have any news, don't hide it, none of us know that your wild dog's dog ears are the smartest, hurry up and tell your brothers!"
The fattest of the three soldiers pressed urgently.
The soldier, known as the wild dog, laughed twice, but did not speak.
The third soldier couldn't help but urge: "Stop the ink, if there is any news, hurry up." ”
"Then if you think it's appropriate for my news......
"I've got a drink, but your news has to make me think it's worth it!"
The fat soldier was very heroic, "But you have to pay for the women's money at night." ”
"No problem!"
The wild dog was also very happy, and did not sell it anymore, and said in a low voice: "I have a brother who works as a guard in the manor, he told me...... Mistress Cotton climbed into Madame's bed last night!"
The wild dog smiled evilly after speaking, and the fat soldier's expression was also a little obscene, and the third soldier was still a little unresponsive at this time, "Madam, isn't it normal for Lord Cotton to be a lady?"
"You're really stupid, the lady the wild dog said is the wife of the dead Sir Desai!"
The third soldier looked surprised, "Really, it's too fast!"
"What's so fast about this, the manor is so big that someone still needs to guard it after all. Besides, before the rumors, Sir Desai's wife had been at odds with Lord Cotton. ”
"Sure enough, the ladies in the aristocratic circle can't stand loneliness......"
"Can the woman in this tavern endure loneliness?"
"Hahaha......"
The three soldiers looked at each other and laughed, and it was the happiest thing for civilians like them to laugh at the private lives of adults.
"Knock knock!"
Before their laughter was over, the town of Doto suddenly rang a hurried bell!
This is the bell of an enemy attack!
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the three soldiers picked up their swords and shields and rushed out of the tavern. The other two tables in the house were militiamen from the town of Doto, and they also rushed out one after another.
These soldiers are regulars in the tavern, and the boss is not afraid of them defaulting on their debts. But the people were gone, and the form of tonight could not be opened, and even the maid who was going to make a handful of money in the evening hurriedly ran home.
However, just as the boss was about to close the door, he found that there was a guest sitting alone in the corner, with his emaciated back facing him.
"Sir, there's a war outside, do you want to find a place to hide?"
The tavernkeeper approached the guest and asked in a low voice.
The guest's face was obscured by a dark robe, and he couldn't see the other's face clearly. However, through the white and slender fingers of the guest, the boss concluded that the guest should not be very old.
"We have a room upstairs if the gentleman doesn't have a place to go. If you want, I can charge you half of the room rate tonight. ”
It's not about how kind-hearted the boss is. The soldiers are gone, and the room must be empty tonight, so it's better to make a little cheaper.
After the boss said this, the guest let go of the hand playing with the wooden cup and stood up, and a handsome young face appeared in front of the boss.
"You should thank you for these words, because these words saved your life. ”
The flat tone and ordinary words converged into a cold sentence, and before the boss could react, he was immediately hit hard in the neck, and then he fell to the ground.
"The timing of Leighton's attack is really unpleasant, can't I just listen to the gossip?"
The boy picked up the wine glass to himself, intending to pour the two-silver coin into his mouth, but as soon as he entered his mouth, a bitter and astringent taste filled his mouth, making him almost vomit.
He shook his head, thinking to himself that he might as well not pretend.
Then a force surged through the boy's body, and a dark blue vortex formed in the tavern, wringing the tables and chairs to pieces in a matter of moments......
...... About ten minutes later, the captain of the hundred people guarding the town of Duotuo was looking at the army outside the town with a proud look.
"These miscellaneous pieces of the Joseph family are really here to go through the motions again. ”
He had received this kind of news before, but he didn't expect it to be his turn now.
The captain glanced at several unlucky people who were injured by bows and arrows next to him, and asked them to quickly take them down to bandage and treat.
"There's no way to get a good night's sleep tonight, these dogs, tui!"
The enemy harassment was not the only wave, and as the temporary commander of the town of Doto, this group leader was very responsible. Now that the enemy is coming, he can no longer sleep in peace.
It's just that he can't understand why it started again when he thought the war was over after more than half a month.
No one had a captain to answer this question, and while he was wondering, there were suddenly shouts of killing in the town!
"What's going on?!"
The captain was alert, and at this moment a soldier hurried up and shouted, "Enemy attack!
