Chapter 63 Second-Level Magic (Part 1)
"Lord Baron, are you looking for me?" Eric saluted respectfully.
At this moment, old Gordon and Fiona have left, and there are only Raven and Eric in the restaurant.
"I came to you today for three things. First, I hope you can be prepared." Raven tapped the table lightly and said, "In half a month, we will set off on time for the bloody highlands. "
This news came out of the blue, which surprised Eric: "But Sir, Simon hasn't come back yet."
"Two months and six days." Raven said suddenly.
Eric was stunned: "...what?"
"Simon and the others have been away for two months and six days." Raven said in a deep voice: "I have always expected them to He can return safely, but looking at it now, this possibility is slim.”
"They... are probably in danger."
Eric had already expected this, so he was not surprised. He just said: "If Simon doesn't come back, we will have nothing to do with Bloody Highlands." As far as I know, is it too hasty to start like this?”
Raven slowly shook his head: "There are no complete preparations and plans in the world. If you pursue the so-called 'perfection' in everything, then nothing will be accomplished."
"What's more, our preparations It's appropriate enough."
Hearing the firmness in Raven's words, Eric stopped refuting.
"I understand, sir. After I go back, I will adjust the condition of those new recruits to the best!"
"Well, this matter can be properly ventilated for them, so that they can They are prepared." Raven continued: "The second thing is the specific action next."
"If nothing else happens, we will be divided into two teams. I will personally lead the soldiers, and you will command the new soldiers. You will be the main force on the battlefield."
"Huh? "Eric was stunned for a moment and put forward his opinion with a little hesitation. : "Sir, this is not good. We don't have many troops. If we divide our troops again, it will be easy for them to be defeated individually!"
Lei Wen did not agree with him: "This time The main purpose of attacking the bloody highlands is to train troops. If we unite our troops, Then the soldiers must take care of the recruits, which will make the recruits take chances and be unable to defend the enemy wholeheartedly."
"And this time we have prepared enough horses, although the riding skills of the soldiers are not good enough. Not enough to support immediate combat, but a quick attack It can still be done. If the critical moment comes, I can bring my own soldiers to the rescue."
Eric was still a little worried: "But sir, if these new soldiers cannot resist the charge of the horse thieves. , morale will collapse when the time comes..."
"That's your problem." Raven stared into his eyes and said: "If they have been training for so long and can't even do a good defensive formation and collapse immediately, then they deserve to die!"
< br>Hearing this, Eric felt awe-struck and beat his chest hard: "Lord Baron, I will definitely let you see the results of this period of training!"
Seeing that the little provocation method was successful, Raven raised a smile and suppressed it: "As long as you have confidence."
"There is one last thing: this attack, Weiss Dong wants to join your team."
"Master Wei Dong?" There was a trace of confusion in Eric's eyes. He tried to understand the meaning of this sentence, but he couldn't grasp the key.
Although Vesdon is tall and strong, he has lost an arm and his brain is not smart enough. The most important thing is that he is the younger brother of the Baron.
This kind of person is a troublemaker in the team.
You can't say harsh words, let alone hit or scold. You have neither fighting ability nor obedience. It has no good effect except messing up the atmosphere of the team.
Lord Baron shouldn’t not understand this truth!
Moreover, the attack on the Bloody Highlands was not an official action of the empire. There was no such thing as gilding for military exploits. What was the purpose of this?
After swallowing, Eric said cautiously: "Master Vesdon has a distinguished status. Otherwise, Baron, you should take care of him personally..."
"This is an order, not a discussion with you. ." Raven's voice became colder: "When the time comes, he will be wearing my enchanted chain armor and riding a blood-eyed war horse, behind him. My battle flag must be flying, and your task is to supervise him and prevent him from leaving the battlefield without authorization, let alone giving random orders and disrupting the morale of the army. If necessary, you can use coercive measures."
"You. You decide the team, do you understand?”
Of course Eric doesn’t understand.
Hearing the first half of the sentence, he thought Raven was asking Vesdon to supervise him, but after hearing the second half, he asked him to supervise Vesdon instead.
Weird, so weird.
Leaven's voice continued: "You don't have to think about it if you don't understand, but the order must be carried out. If you have nothing else to say, just step back."
"Yes, sir!"
Eric bowed and left with a frown on his face. He thought about it and couldn't understand the meaning of the Baron's arrangement.
Walking around a corner in deep thought, a clear voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "Mr. Eric!"
"Ah?" Eric came back to his senses and took a closer look: "Jenny, what are you doing here?" "Waiting for you." Jenny said respectfully: "Miss Nancy, please go and meet."
Nancy? What does she want from me?
Eric had a little more doubts in his heart, but after all, she was the daughter of the Earl family, and he could not disobey: "What does Miss Nancy want from me?"
"We'll know when we get there. "Jenny walked in front: "Please follow me."
All the way to Nancy's room, Eric stood at the door and saluted respectfully:
"Miss Nancy!"
"Yes." Nancy was standing in front of the bronze mirror at this time, Hearing this, he turned around, nodded in return, and asked straight to the point: "Tell me, what was Raven talking to you about just now?"
"This is a secret, Miss Nancy." Eric said coldly: "If you really want to know, you can ask the Baron directly."
"Oh, you are quite loyal. Nancy looked Eric up and down: "You are so loyal, why don't you even get a knighthood?"
This simple sowing discord could not sway Eric at all. He said calmly: "The reward given to me by the Baron has far exceeded the treatment I deserve."
"Oh, that's really good. A sly smile appeared on Nancy's face: "A loyal retainer like you must not want to see your lord encounter any danger, right?"
Eric's heart skipped a beat: "Miss Nancy?" , what is this? "What do you mean?"
Nancy walked to the window and looked outside Eagle Castle: "It's very simple. Raven has never agreed to take me to Bloody Heights. My life is so boring!" "How can there be any reason to neglect a noble lady in the Keynesian Empire?"
"Since he neglected me, of course I am very unhappy. If I am unhappy, I will do some very willful things." ”
She turned around and smiled: "For example, go to Eagle Town and set some fires to burn some untouchables - by the way, your family is also in Eagle Town, right?"
Eric only said He felt his scalp tightening, and a chill crawled up his back and onto his shoulders: "...killing innocent people indiscriminately is not a crime." What a glorious noble should do!"
"I am not a knight, don't use your old-fashioned rules on me." Nancy highlighted two syllables, and a ball of fire danced between her fingers. Endless: "What will happen if I do this?"
"What can Raven do to me? Kill me, or hang me up in public?" Nancy chuckled: "He doesn't dare. Then he can only sit in the study with a dark face, Cry quietly in front of the mirror and look for his mother, because everyone will know that he is a helpless person. A useless noble who can’t protect his own people and even his retainers’ families!”
Eric’s face darkened, he clenched his fists tightly, and his breathing became heavier and heavier. The look in Nancy's eyes was full of hostility, even with a hint of... murderous intent!
"At this distance, I may indeed be no match for you." Nancy raised her eyebrows: "But so what, do you really dare to kill me here?"
"If you do this , it will still implicate Raven, the Fox family will not believe that this is the idea of a little retainer of yours; and your family will not escape the revenge of the Fox family."
Eric. Silently, for a long time he said: "...What exactly do you want?"
"Tell me what Raven told you." Nancy looked into his eyes and said: "Exactly. Tell me everything!”
“This way, I feel better, your Lord Baron’s reputation can be preserved, and your family can live well.”
Eric was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to make a decision.
He didn’t want to betray Lord Baron’s trust, but Nancy’s persecution made him think of no way to crack it.
Or... go find the Baron immediately?
Thinking of this, Eric's eyes lit up. He turned around and was about to move when he heard Nancy say: "Don't even think about asking Raven for help. If you dare to leave now, then I will immediately I'll go to Eagle Town."
"Even if Raven follows, he can only watch me do whatever I want!"
Eric's body suddenly froze.
"You might as well think about it carefully." Nancy shook her head, her braids bouncing back and forth: "Your son, Tony, is already sixteen years old this year. I heard that you have always wanted to Train him into a knight, and save all your income over the years to spend on him.”
< br>"If you are willing to tell me, then I can give him a potion to test magic talent, and even if he is really talented, I can recommend him to the 'Trent Magic Academy'."
< br>While speaking, a bottle of crystal clear magic potion appeared in Nancy’s hand at some point.
“This…” Eric’s heart softened when Nancy mentioned Tony.
The god-given potion for awakening as a mage is expensive, but if you grit your teeth, it's not impossible to save it.
The problem is that the decisive factor in whether a person can become a mage is not potions. Without talent in this area, no matter how many potions he drinks, he will not be able to succeed.
The potion used to test a mage's talent is even more precious than the potion used to awaken a mage.
A magician is a far more noble existence than a knight of the same level. Even if he is only one level, he is enough to become the guest of many nobles. If he is willing to serve the royal family, it can almost be said that he will become one. noble!
Nancy's slightly impatient voice sounded: "My patience is limited, have you thought about it? If you are still determined, I will take action?"
