Wizard From Afar

Sir Aaron didn’t doubt whether Loren’s words were true or not. In addition to the little trust relationship just established, it is more important not to let count be in such a dangerous place.

Regardless of whether there are more than a dozen ogre in the forest, they can't continue to stay-from here to Deep Limburg, there is only one day left.

It's getting late, and the regrouped Knights mounted their horses one after another, holding the torch to protect the young count in the center, moving towards the direction of Deep Limburg.

Because it was an overnight rush, all the Knights didn't say a word, cautiously guarding the surroundings. Collapsed roads and swarms of wild beasts may kill everyone in Yellow Springs.

Reuben riding a war horse also lowered his head and remained silent. Only the frowning brows and the darkened Yintang can make people who see him understand how angry this count is now.

Loren, who followed him, showed a somewhat looked thoughtful expression. He vaguely remembered that Ogre lived in the forest closer to the west. There should be no settlements of these monsters in the Duke of Lotaire.

So how did these ogre get here?

If you insist on explaining, there should be only two possibilities-maybe just a handful of ogre, crossing the mountain range and forest to the west and breaking into the territory of the duke, so it was not discovered.

The other one is that something happened to the count leader of Deep Limburg on the border, so that these ogre can freely cross the direction of the border and enter the hinterland of the duchy.

Regardless of the cause, the Senna family responsible for guarding the frontier of the duchy cannot escape the blame. If only a few farms or Orion were killed, it might not be a major event; but this time, it was the heir of the Fried family who almost had an accident!

Just when they were not far away, everyone heard the continuous, deafening roar from behind. Against the backdrop of the silent night, the roaring voice became extremely clear.

The Knights, who were originally cautiously, immediately became nervous. There were even a few people who couldn't help but want to see clearly, but they didn't have the courage to look back. They stuck in the saddle as if they were frozen.

"Bring me up and keep going!"

Sir Aaron's roar directly overwhelmed the sound coming from a distance: "Keep your eyes on the front, don't Looking back, those monsters can't keep up with us!" In just a few words, the Knights, who were still a little flustered just now, regained their senses, holding up the torch in their hands and throwing the ogre's roar behind. .

At dawn, when the sky was still not clear, the entire group arrived at a tower on the border of Deep Limburg.

Staffed here is a branch of the Senna family, and opened the door hurriedly after seeing who came. The owner of the tower is also the owner of the nearby manor, an Old Mister who claims to be Baron busy surrendering his room to Ruben, and is very enthusiastic to prepare hot food and drinks for everyone.

The Knights who had been on the road for the whole night were indeed exhausted. After discussing them, they decided to wait until noon before leaving. Sitting around in the living room of the tower, enjoying the rare hot soup and bread, calming down with a fragrant ale.

The young count had no appetite. After eating a few pieces of bread, he returned to the room and called Loren by the way when he left. The black hair wizard who looked thoughtful did not hesitate, and left after retiring with the Baron master.

In the small small bedroom, there is only one dim candle. Ruben looked a little decadent by candlelight, and his spirits seemed a little sluggish as he hurried all night.

"Master count?"

I looked up and saw Loren walking in. Ruben moved over a chair and sighed: "There are not so many rules, sit down and have a drink with me. "

The black hair wizard who sat down took the cup from his hand, raised his head and drank the drink. The unceremonious appearance made the young count chuckle barely, and drank his glass of wine in one breath.

"You look a little uncomfortable. Is it because you are too tired?" While helping the other party to pour the wine, Loren asked casually: "Or...what's up in your mind?"

p>

"Do I look that bad?" Ruben was stunned, and then bitterly laughed: "It's probably because I'm so tired, I can't breathe a little bit."

"Oh by the way, I haven't thank you yet. If you didn't hold me down in time, I would have turned into meat sauce with the horse!"

"I am you Your wizard adviser, it’s my duty and duty to protect you." Loren’s face showed a formulaic smile: "No thanks for this kind of thing, Master count."

"Don’t call it so much, here No one else, just call me Ruben—Aaron called it that privately.” Count Young Master waved his hand nonchalantly, and finally there was a little more expression in his eyes: “The match between you and him was really wonderful. Now, anyone who can tie him can count it with one hand in the entire Duke!"

"Actually, I was almost dead at the time." Loren chuckled and shrugged: "Ya Sir Lun is indeed very difficult to deal with, I'm too arrogant, the count is big... Ruben."

After seeing the other person’s eyes, Loren immediately changed his mouth, and count Young Master’s face appeared. Satisfied smile.

"In fact, when I inherited the title of count, I knew what father was planning to do—he wanted to borrow my hand to snatch Deep Limburg from the Sena family in a fair way. It's something that the Lied family has wanted to do for generations."

After drinking a few glasses, Ruben finally started to let go of his guard and chat with Loren. The smiling black hair wizard inadvertently put down his wine glass and poured another full glass for him.

"I have nothing to object, and I just obey the father's orders. To be honest, I don't even think there is anything wrong with the Senna family continuing to manage this place. Just let them go, even if they rebel again. So what, are they all defeated?"

"This may sound unseemly, but I just plan to mix it for a few years." Ruben took another drink, deeply sighed: "When the time comes, let father give this to a cousin of mine, or be snatched back by someone from the Senna family, anyway, it's nothing to do with me."

Looks like, Loren hesitated for a moment, then slowly said:

"In fact, I think you have only suffered a little shock temporarily, and you definitely want to be a competent count in your heart."

>

Loren looked at his expression with blinking eyes: "A person like you is sure to make a career."

"How do you know?"

"I don't know, but I believe in the judgment of the duke—because of his permission, the Wimpal Academy is today, and I am qualified to sit in front of you."

" Lord Duke is the ruler of the entire Duchy. If he thinks about it, he has a thousand reasons to take back Deep Limburg, but why would he choose you?" Smiling Loren asked in a seductive way, looking at count's looked thoughtful expression, quietly aroused The corners of the mouth.

There was a slight vibration on the floor, and Loren speculated that someone must be eavesdropping outside the door, and it was probably the Sir Aaron.

But I am afraid I will disappoint him-at least for now, Loren still hopes this count Young Master can do something. After all, his rank and status are closely related to him. If something happens to him, he doesn't seem to have any other way out besides returning to being a wandering Knight.

For the current Loren, gaining Ruben's trust is the most advantageous choice.

"Because he believes that you can do all this, you are his heir, and his trust in you must be beyond imagination!" The black hair wizard smiled sincerely: "What reason do you have? Why don't you try it?"

Slowly put down the wine glass, Lu Wenchao Loren nodded, whose eyes became clearer and clearer: "You are right. Since father gave me this opportunity, I should cherish it. , No matter what the final result is!"

"Speaking of this." Although he was a little drunk, Ruben hadn't lost his mind yet: "Do you think the ogre thing is the Senna family? People..."

"I don’t think it is possible. Ogre is not a monster with a brain. If you want to use them for sneak attacks, the risk and the probability of failure are very high." Loren understands what the other party wants to ask. , Shook the head cautiously, but showed a somewhat playful smile:

"But...this is indeed a good excuse."
