Chapter 112
"Did you drink last night?"
The young count looked at his wizard consultant in amazement, and the corners of his mouth rose: "It seems I drank a lot... Did you have any fun last night?"
"It's just that I suddenly couldn't help it." Looking at the stranger's eyes, Loren smiled disapprovingly: "By the way, relax a little. Recently tightened nerves."
Lu Wen is very convinced nodded, he knows how much weight Loren bears, especially after the fire in the granary: "This time has been too hard for you, wait until things At the end, let’s go hunting together when the weather turns fine."
"This...may not work." Loren gave a wry smile, took out the rescue letter from the elves before and handed it to count: "This is I sent it before."
"...has it begun to invade the ancient wood forest?" After reading the letterhead, Ruben stared wide-eyed, with a shocked expression on his face: "No wonder we will be here. I met ogre on the way, and it seems that there are already several settlement breakthrough elves’ defense lines!"
"This matter must be notified to father as soon as possible. If the elves are finished, it is absolutely impossible to carry it with the help of Deep Forest Castle. Dozens and hundreds of ogre’s offensives-whatever they want, they can give them. These monsters must not be allowed to cross the border of the ancient wood forest. I want to meet the emissaries in person!"
"I've talked to the leader of their messenger regiment." At this point, Loren didn't forget to bow his head slightly: "I'm very sorry, but the situation was very urgent at the time, so I had no choice but to make an opinion."
"I promised them, as long as they are willing to stand by your side when the deep Limburg nobles rebelled, Duke Lotaire will provide them with enough support. If you don't want to..."
"No, you did a very good job. We are short of trustworthy staff." Ruben waved his hand and didn't forget to chuckle at Loren: "You are not only my wizard advisor, but mine. My friend, I trust your judgment."
"Where are the wizard warriors now, and how long will it take to get to the castle if necessary?"
" A deserted farm is in place not far away, and they will come as soon as a signal is given." Loren explained: "After all, they are so different from humans, coming forward will definitely cause suspicion."
The young count nodded immediately seemed to think of something: "Speaking of this, the guys who were arrested for destroying the granary are still in the dungeon now, and they've been muttering all day long. With some gibberish! "
"One said he saw the ancient Evil God, another said he saw vampire, and another guy solemnly vowed said he heard the devil singing. "Speaking of this, even Ruben himself laughed: "How on earth did you do it?" "
"Well, I'm a wizard. Loren shrugged his shoulders and gave a playful smile: "I can show them... things that didn't exist before." "
"I don't care if I don't want to say it. Anyway, I don't care. "Count shrugged his shoulders: "As long as they are alive, let them go away when their families send the ransom, land, and food-it's a bargain for these damn assholes!" "
"In the past, I will kill all of them desperately. But I am a count now, and I want to be a good count, which means that I can’t do as one pleases and I must exercise restraint. "
"Father said, let the nobles be in awe, let the common people love it, and that is a good lord. "Ru Wen suddenly muttered to himself and laughed softly: "Now I think this sentence may be a bit narrow; blindly pursuing the love of the common people, or intimidating the nobles with killing and criminal law is wrong. "
"The lord... is like a judge. The rich may not be wrong, and the poor may not be good. To give them justice and let them perform their duties is what the lord should do. "
For the first time, Loren looked at Ruben Fried’s eyes with a little more respect.
Although this rhetoric was full of aloof and remote tone, it was already It does look like a count. Only two months of polishing has allowed Ruben to complete the transformation. It is no longer the hedonistic son of rich parents who was irritable and impatient when he first came.
This pair Loren is also a good thing-although I hope that Ruben can believe in himself 100%, it does not mean that I also hope that the other party will rely on his own low energy in everything, it would be too exhausting.
Distance Sir Aaron rushed back, and only less than ten days were left. Whatever Barry Senna and his confidant henchman want to do, it must be within ten days.
Change to yourself If you do, when will you do it? Loren suddenly fell into a state of thinking, and his dark pupils scanned the hall of the castle.
The hall is still the hall of the past, but I don’t know why. The black hair wizard always has a sense of disharmony, as if something is missing. What was supposed to be there is now gone.
"Where did Will Senna go? "The thoughtful Loren said involuntarily.
"I don't know, I haven't seen anyone else since last night, and I haven't seen him until now. "Ru Wen shook the head: "Probably something is wrong, what's wrong?" "
"Nothing, just very curious, does anyone know where he went? "Loren frowned asked, "It's okay. Before he left, did he mention what he was going to do?" "
"Nothing..." As soon as the words were spoken, Ruben immediately understood Loren's meaning: "You mean he had planned to leave?" ! "
"I'm just guessing. "
Loren casually invited Knight, the guard standing guard outside the hall: "Go find it, and then ask the servants in the castle to see if anyone knows where Will Senna is!" "
"Find a few more people, check the rooms of all the nobles one by one, and see if they are still in the castle-if anyone has left, come back and report immediately! "
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly dropped to freezing point. Loren and Ruben remained silent, waiting patiently for the news from the Knights of the Guard.
Time passed, waiting for the Guards. When Knight opened the door again, it was already noon. Knight, with sweat on his forehead, rushed into the hall, breathing heavily, and even forgot to salute Ruben.
"Everyone... …All gone—! "
"What? ! "
"We searched all the rooms, even the stables and houses nearby, but there was no one! "The guard Knight's eyes were also full of shock: "Those adults seem to have disappeared out of thin air, they are all gone!" "
Unsurprisingly... the calm and composed black hair wizard squinted his eyes slightly. Although the opponent's movements are surprisingly fast, he is not unprepared and has the power to resist.
After all, if they really intend to kill Ruben in the chaos, they will definitely not make fun of their own life and stay in this castle that will be taken down by mobs at any time.
"Immediately Close the city gate of the castle, order all the castle guards to assemble, and recall the Knight guard! "Recovering from his consternation, Ruben immediately began to issue orders: "Send a messenger to find Duke Lotaire and tell him the nobles of Deep Forest to launch a rebellion and send reinforcements as soon as possible!" "
"As you bid!"
Looking at Knight who turned and left, the relieved count turned his attention to Loren: "We can't wait for Father's reinforcements, and we can't wait for Asia. Sir Lun, either tonight or tomorrow night, they will attack and seize Deep Limburg! "
"I will call the elves right away and let them go to the castle to assist in the defense. "Loren nodded: "Although there are not many people, it should be able to play a big role-if they can block Ogre's attack, it must be no problem to guard the castle. "
"If they are really willing to fight with us and don't betray us, I will find a way to persuade father to form an alliance with the elves. Ruben's expression became more determined: "Do you have any plans?" "
"We have to defend Deep Limburg, there is no doubt about this. But if you just wait until the battle is over, there is still no reason to arrest Barry Senna and his henchman, leaving the castle without permission is not enough to behead their heads! "
Loren's tone is very determined: "So we must delay this battle, give them traps they can get in, and let them see the hope of victory. "
"After all...the snake can only be chopped off when it gets out of the cave! "
