Chapter 64 Second-Level Magic (Part 2)
Eric hesitated again and again, and finally succumbed to Nancy's "power".
After all, he really couldn't think of how to stop Nancy's plan. Speaking up was the safest choice in both public and private matters.
It was just some basic military arrangements, so it was no big deal to tell Nancy.
He persuaded himself thus.
"...Ms. Nancy, I say."
"Haha! It would have been better if it had been like this earlier. You insist on making me waste my time." Nancy supported her chin and said: "Tell me quickly, he has What did I say to you?”
Eric told Raven’s arrangement in general, and Nancy would ask questions repeatedly in some places.
After listening to Eric's story and his confusion about Raven's arrangement of Vesdon in the army, Nancy showed a look of contempt: "Tsk, you even want this. It doesn’t make sense, you deserve to be a You are a rude warrior. If I were you, I would not let you become a knight!"
As she spoke, she shook her head and sighed: "Raven is really a born noble. Like all nobles, he is sinister and despicable! ! ”
Eric looked sullenly: "Miss Nancy, please don't slander the Baron!"
"Am I slandering him?" Nancy sneered and said: "You can't tell what he's thinking, but I can't. Clearly! This kind of play Ma, I've seen him a lot. He seems to be very kind, but in fact, he wants to stab someone twice. He is the kind of person who is double-dealing."
"Miss Nancy, you must speak with evidence!" Eli! Ke was a little angry.
"Evidence? How could he leave evidence of what he did." Nancy looked at Eric condescendingly: "That's right, you definitely can't figure it out with your poor wisdom."
"I have received aristocratic education since I was a child, and I have been exposed to all kinds of aristocratic conspiracies since I was a child. You have to know that men will do anything to compete for the title!"
"Raven asked Vesdon to join your team, and also proposed to divide the troops. He obviously disliked this younger brother for a long time, and pushed him to die! But he had to make that harmonious gesture before, haha , It’s so hypocritical!”
Eric’s eyes trembled: “Impossible, absolutely impossible! Miss Nancy, you take the Baron too seriously...”
"Okay, okay, whatever you think Raven is, that's what he is, it has nothing to do with me!" Nancy jumped up from the window and threw the potion to Eric: "Hey, I finally caught it You have the advantage!”
“This time, I must convince you!”
As she said this, she walked excitedly to find Raven.
Looking at her back, Eric had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't want to question the Baron, but Nancy's voice lingered in his heart.
He turned around and walked out, his mind in a state of confusion, until the biting cold wind hit his face, which made his mind clearer.
"Lord Baron...want to let Master Vesdon die on purpose?"
This is really something that he would never have thought of, but if he thinks about it this way, everything will fall into place. .
Veston has no military training and is young and impulsive. This kind of person is most likely to die in battle, especially in an open field battle.
Moreover, Baron Raven specifically emphasized that he should wear the baron's chain mail and the battle flag should be erected behind Vesdon. In this way, he would be the most conspicuous point on the battlefield.
The easiest way to win the battle is to defeat the opponent's leader and seize the opponent's battle flag.
When the time comes, Vesdon will become the target of all enemies!
Eric suddenly felt that today's north wind was colder than ever before, blowing into the seams of his nails, penetrating into his skin and melting into his blood vessels.
“Could it be that Lord Baron had already made preparations when Vesdon first came back?”
At that time, even Eric felt that Raven was being too tolerant to Vesdon.
But he didn't expect that behind those tender feelings, there was such a bloody conspiracy!
I didn’t expect that Lord Baron’s thoughts would be so deep and so...
Cruel.
He thought again of the night when Raven had gained his allegiance.
Only then did Eric realize that the madness and cold-bloodedness in this Baron's heart had never changed.
At the same time, Nancy had already pushed open the door of Lei's library. The latter put the books in his hands on the table and glared at her: "Miss Nancy, I have already said that I will never bring You go to Bloody Heights..."
"No, this time, you will!" Nancy said with a confident smile on her face: "Because I I’ve already caught your handle!”
“My handle?” Raven chuckled and stretched, “Oh, I’m really curious about that.”
“ You can only be proud now." Nancy curled her lips: "In one minute, the smile will disappear from your face!"
"Well, okay, I'll wait and see." Raven had a casual smile on his face.
“I have heard it all from Eric.” Nancy said: “You are planning to let Vesdon follow you to the Bloody Highlands. In fact, you want him to die, right? Wrong?"
Raven's heart sank first, and then he raised his eyebrows: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Stop pretending, Raven. "Nancy walked to Raven's desk, leaned down and looked directly into his eyes: "Vesdon has no bloodline from the Griffith family, and he is ugly and stupid. You must have disliked him a long time ago. If that were the case, You don’t want him to die, there’s no reason to take him with you!”
Raven’s eyes were gloomy: “Is this what Eric told you?”
"Him? Hehe, he's not much smarter than Vesdon. I just used a little trick to pry open his mouth!" Nancy said proudly: "Don't even think about changing the topic, just one sentence, Are you willing to take me to Bloody Heights?"
"If you dare to say you are not willing, I will make this known to everyone immediately!"
Raven's hands! He inserted it and placed it under his chin, frowning slightly.
He did not expect that Nancy could pry words out of Eric's mouth, nor did he expect that she could see the secret.
It seems that I still underestimated this woman from the earl family.
Seeing Raven's "scowl", Nancy felt more and more comfortable: "But, I also know your character, and I won't let you take me there in vain."
"As long as you agree, I will I’ll also give you a second-level magic, how about it?”
Leaven raised his eyebrows.
Second level magic? ?
Taking a deep breath, Raven showed an extremely troubled expression on his face.
But the corners of his mouth that were constantly twitching were a little difficult to suppress.
The price of a second-level magic on the market is usually between 800-2000 gold coins, and some rare spells may reach 3000 or even 5000 gold coins. They have always been expensive but not marketable.
Conventionally the only way to obtain magic is through the Church of Light, and unless you are a mage affiliated with the church, it is difficult to obtain your favorite spells. Even if you hand over the gold coins, you will not be able to get them. Two words.
After all, the name is "donation". Since it is a donation, isn't it normal for there to be no return sometimes?
So Raven is very aware of the preciousness of second-level magic. If Nancy had made such an "excessive" request earlier, why would she wait until now?
In his inherent concept, he believed that magic could not be taught in private.
After all, doing so may affect the interests of the Magic Guild, the Holy See of Light, and... some unspeakable forces.
He almost wanted to agree immediately, but considering Nancy's character, there was a completely opposite expression on his face.
After all, since you have taken advantage, you have to deflate this "pressure cooker".
As Raven expected, Nancy is indeed feeling more and more happy now.
Asking Raven to take her to Bloody Highlands was full of twists and turns, and there were many obstacles along the way.
No matter what means Nancy used, they were all rejected and resolved by Raven. Even the charm that she was most proud of did not work. A lot of anger had already accumulated in her heart.
The more Raven was struggling now, the happier she felt in her heart. She twitched the tip of her nose and said, "Humph, you were so proud before that you didn't even pay attention to my plea. Now you know that I Isn’t that awesome?”
“Come on, do you agree?”
“Alas…” Lei Wen sighed: “In this case, I can’t agree to it. .”
"Yes!"
Nancy had a cheerful smile on her face, and her two tiger teeth shone with excitement. She touched her left index finger with her right hand, and a simple scroll appeared in her hand: " No, here you go!”
She also has space equipment, and it’s in the shape of a ring.
Leaven reached out to take the scroll and unfolded it, reading its name: "Burning Ember Technique." "Hmm, yes, second-level magic!" Nancy said proudly: "You are also a flame. Although the mage is only at the first level, if you practice for half a year, you may have a 10% chance of being able to release it!”
But Lei Wen didn't react to this sentence, he just looked at the scroll word by word.
“Okay, stop reading now!” Nancy’s hand blocked the scroll: “I won’t fool you with lies.”
“You have to remember, You must take me with you when you go to the Bloody Highlands!"
Leaven nodded: "Of course, Nan! Miss Qian, fighting is not a game after all. You must obey my command when the time comes, and you can’t bring any servants.”
“Why don’t you tell me? I’m not a child anymore.” Qian rolled her eyes at him, turned around and walked towards the door. As soon as she opened the door, her footsteps stopped.
Eric was standing at the door now.
Nancy patted his shoulder and left quickly.
At this time, the retainer's face was full of guilt and embarrassment. He stood there at a loss, neither advancing nor retreating.
"Come in." Raven said.
Eric still couldn't move, the guilt in his heart was too heavy.
"Come in!" Raven's voice raised: "Do you still want me to invite you?"
"Don't dare!" Eric shuddered and quickly entered the door, holding a bottle in both hands Potion knelt on the ground with a bang: "Lord Baron, I let you down I broke your trust, informed Miss Nancy of your arrangement, and took her magic detection reagent as a bribe. Please punish me!”
His head was lowered, his eyes were filled with determination, and he would be with Nancy. The conversations between them were reported in detail.
Indeed, Baron Raven's actions were too fierce and cold-blooded, but after all, they were not plotting against him, and what he did was undoubtedly a betrayal of Baron Raven!
This Nord man cannot face the pain in his heart, so he can only come here, tell the truth, and leave his fate to Raven to decide!
"...That's it, my lord!"
After telling what happened, the study fell into a long silence, and Eric became more and more uneasy.
Suddenly, the sound of chairs scraping against the carpet was heard, and Eric heard Raven's footsteps gradually approaching.
The heartbeat was getting faster and faster. He closed his eyes, ready to bear all the consequences.
No matter what punishment, he can accept it.
Snap.
Unexpectedly, Raven's hand fell on his shoulder and patted him gently: "Get up."
"Uh..." Eric looked up in shock. , saw Raven's angular face: "Lord Baron, I..."
"If If you don't come today, it's really a big deal." Raven said with a gentle smile, "But you came and told me everything without hiding anything. This is enough to prove your loyalty." br>
Eric came, and not only that, he also gave the potion that Nancy gave him with both hands.
Either Eric is deep enough to understand what "seeking life from death" means, or he really realizes his mistake and still retains his unreserved loyalty to Raven.
Raven could tell what kind of person he was.
Although there was only one sentence, Eric felt a heavy trust from it. Compared with his previous selfishness, he felt more ashamed and grateful, and tears burst out of his eyes:
"... ...Lord Baron, from today on, I am willing to obey your orders forever, and I am willing to sacrifice everything for you!”
“My life, my soul!”
"I believe you, and this time, it's not just your problem." Raven nodded heavily: "From today on, let your family move to Eagle Castle."
"We are destined not to be trapped in the small Eagle Territory. In the future, we will have more and more enemies. We cannot let your weaknesses be exposed all the time. Outside."
Eric took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "Thank you for your kindness and generosity!"
Leaven said softly: "Go, don't be affected by today's incident. I am in a state of mind, and I cannot do without you in the bloody highland battle."
Standing up and saluting, Eric turned and retreated.
Looking at Eric's leaving back, Raven's eyes gradually became deeper.
Then he sat back on the chair, looked at the magic scroll in his hand, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Nancy, Nancy, I really want to thank you!"
Second-level magic , price but no market!
And it is the most destructive fire magic!
In fact, Raven knew early on that Nancy would never give up.
The reason why he didn't agree to Nancy's request was that he didn't want Nancy to take this matter too lightly.
She must have worked hard for it herself before she would cherish this opportunity and willingly obey Raven's orders and command.
What he didn't expect was that Nancy would set her sights on Eric, almost leaving an irreparable rift between the two.
Fortunately, Eric withstood the test and explained the facts clearly to Raven in detail. Not only did the relationship between the two not break down, but Eric's loyalty became even stronger.
"Huh..." Taking a long breath, Raven went through the schedule in his heart again.
Strengthening his men has been completed; purchasing war horses and draft horses has been completed; strengthening war horses has been completed; making Warcraft leather armor has been completed; purchasing enchanted equipment has been completed; proficiently using two first-level magics has been completed...
He has made all the preparations imaginable!
The next step is to wait for departure in half a month!
A relaxed smile appeared on his face, and then a look of exhaustion climbed onto his cheeks.
Leaven felt a sense of relief that it had come to an end for the time being, but he also felt a little empty.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened and Patty walked in with a tray: "Sir Baron, dinner."
"Dinner?" Raven looked out the window. , then I realized that the sky was completely shrouded in darkness: "It turns out that it's already this time."
Patty put the food on the tray on the table: "Seeing as you didn't go to the restaurant to eat, Mrs. Denise specifically asked me to bring it to you."
Raven asked as he tied the napkin : "What about her?"
"After dinner, she has gone back to her room to rest." Petty replied respectfully.
"I know, step back." Raven said.
"Lord Baron..."
Suddenly, Petty's voice was as thin as a mosquito's.
Raven looked up and found that Petty's face had turned rosy at some point.
The head is also hung tightly, as if a girl is pregnant with spring.
Lei Wen was a little stunned. For a moment, he couldn't tell who was whose lover...
"Okay, okay, I'm too busy during this period. Everything is waiting for Bloody Heights. Let’s talk about it after it’s over.”
Raven said in an indifferent tone.
"Yes..." A flash of disappointment flashed across Petty's face, and she followed the order and stepped back.
I took a few bites of food, but the more I ate, the less and less I lost my appetite. Finally, with a clang, Raven threw the fork on the plate, untied the napkin and threw it aside.
After tidying up his clothes a little, he opened the door and walked towards Denise's room.
He is indeed too busy. He has not greeted his aunt properly for a long time.
