Arcane Lord

In fact, being close to the border has the advantage of being close to the border.

First of all, when carrying out agricultural reforms, you don’t have to be afraid of being seen by others. By then, you just need to close the gate of the castle, all around are high mountains, and you can directly cut off the connection with the outside world. The door came to farm obediently and honestly.

Secondly, the presence of monsters is not a bad thing. After all, killing can bring a lot of EXP, which is what Andre needs most.

The last point is that only here can he give those slaves better living conditions, and even a certain degree of freedom. If you change to the city, it will definitely attract countless people. Looking at it, after all, in the universal value officials of the continent, it is normal to treat one or two favored slaves better, but treat all slaves equally, it is purely a brain disease.

As a smart person, Andre doesn’t think that he can change the world. Sometimes it’s better to be a low-key person. Even if you can’t get used to it, you have to be patient as much as possible. Things that violate most people’s values ​​are secretly hidden. Do better.

Just as we were talking, the carriage finally came to the gate of the castle. The officer who was patrolling above the castle apparently noticed the noble badge printed on the carriage, and hurriedly shouted: “I am a garrison. Lieutenant Wilson here! Please give your name and purpose!”

Andre pushed the car door and jumped down, without saying a word, he directly used the hand of a mage and sent the title deed and noble certificate to the city wall. He doesn’t think his voice can be transmitted so far, especially now it is still headwind, so it is the wisest way to directly show the proof.

“The gods are on! So you are here to receive Lord Baron! Please wait a moment! I will let someone open the gate.” The officer hurriedly ordered his subordinates to turn the winch and lower the suspension bridge, and followed Pulling open the iron gate, it took a full five minutes before the heavy door slowly opened, and a group of 200 soldiers made a line of welcome.

It didn’t take long before Lieutenant Wilson, who had just called out, ran out from inside and paid a respectful military salute: “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Baron, I was notified this morning. So I have already counted all the supplies. Here is the list. Please check it. At the same time, you can send someone to check it. If there is no problem, please sign on it. We are in a hurry to return to Linton City to report.”

As he said, he presented a parchment full of words with his hands.

“Two hundred and forty farmers, a total of 1,430 people, half of men and women…25 pairs of horses, 600 sheep, 400 pigs, 200 cattle Fifty heads, 2,000 chickens, 700 ducks and geese each, 20 dogs…The warehouse currently has 1,500 bags of flour, 230 bags of other grains, 30 cans of olive oil and honey, and 2 wines. Ten barrels, sixty barrels of ale…”

Andre read it out in a low voice while watching, but at the end, he frowned immediately.

Although on the surface there are enough supplies, he found that the most important thing is missing, that is, various military supplies, such as weapons, armor, bows and arrows, etc., as an outpost against foreign enemies, here With hundreds of troops stationed, how could it be possible that they didn’t even have any reserves.

Obviously, there are only two explanations. One is that the garrison here secretly sold all military reserves, and the other is that someone issued an order asking them to take away all military supplies.

But Andre didn’t feel that he had any contradiction with the city hall at all, and because of his status as a member of the mage, he didn’t dare to provoke him, so he noticed something was wrong, and a cold light flashed across his eyes. , Raising his hand directly is a zero-level Arcane “tremor shock”, followed by taking out the mithril scimitar he carried with him, without the slightest hesitation on the opponent’s neck, shouting:

“Say! Who instructed you to do this! Where are the weapons and armor hidden!”

The sudden change not only frightened the soldiers, but also frightened Chloe, who had just got off the carriage. , Elsa and Little Loli and Beverly…

“Your Excellency Baron! What are you doing?”

“Yes! Please let go of the lieutenant immediately!”

“What the hell did the lieutenant make! Why did he put the knife on his neck!”

…

All of the soldiers did Panicked, one after another spoke for his boss. They didn’t understand why they had just drew their swords suddenly.

Seeing that the soldiers were getting closer, Chloe’s bodyguards hurriedly drew out weapons to protect his Young Lady behind him, and fifty slave soldiers also stepped forward and guarded his master. Although they had no weapons in their hands, no one dared to underestimate the tough fighters from Brandt.

At the moment when the two groups of people were about to have a physical conflict, Andre suddenly stretched out a finger and shot out a golden cloud of mist. All the soldiers who were shrouded in immediately screamed and threw With the weapon in his lower hand, he squatted on the ground with his eyes covered.

“Super magic technique: spell silently!”

“Level 2 Arcane: shining dust!”

“All targets within the spell range go blind !”

“All invisible units within the spell range show their outlines!”

Looking at the prompt popping out from the retina, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and a sneer crossed, then he thought. The troubled soldiers shouted: “Shut up! Be honest! Remember! I am a member of the Linton City Wizards Association! Even if you kill all of you, don’t worry about being punished by any law! If you don’t want to trouble yourself, then go back immediately!”

In an instant!

The soldier who was aggressive just now suddenly woke up, standing in front of him was not just a noble Baron, but also a mage with supernatural power, so he hurriedly stepped back more than a dozen meter away. Abandon those companions who led the trouble.

They all know what Mage Association means, so they chose to stay out of the matter without even thinking about it. No one wants to bear the consequences of offending a mage.

“Very good! Come on! Get me all those who stayed in place!” Andre waved his hand and gave the command directly to the slave soldiers. He is almost certain that among these leaders, there must be a few participants who know the inside story, otherwise they would not stand up and shout at the risk of trying to rescue the hostages in their hands.

“Obviously! Master!”

A man with a particularly strong body complied, and immediately took the lead and rushed up. In a few seconds, he caught the guy who was temporarily blind. At the same time, they also picked up weapons on the ground to arm themselves, and after a while, they controlled the situation.
