Several large-scale speeches given by the magicians in the square made the people of Wilkes City turn towards the magician Christopher in just one night.
Immediately afterwards, a group of magicians from the Magic Guild led nearly 10,000 citizens and held a grand demonstration in Wilkes City.
There were some citizens holding protest plaques standing in front of the hotel where Surdak lived. It was not known whether they were employed by the magic union or a self-organized activity. However, these protesters did not have any extreme words or actions.
A silent protest was held behind the railings across the road holding protest signs.
The Wilkes Daily News also published an article about the territorial dispute between the noble lords and the magician nobles.
The comments in this report are relatively positive, explaining respectively the role of the noble lords and magician nobles in the Green Empire, as well as the disadvantages of the noble lords and magician nobles in opening up new territories.
In fact, after magicians are promoted to nobles, the territories they are assigned are often in name only. They are basically remote and barren mountainous areas. Magicians rarely actually develop those lands.
This makes this benefit for magicians more like a burden.
The noble lords have greater freedom to open up new territories, but the prerequisite is that these noble lords must have private armies.
However, for a magician who has a good reputation in Wilkes City and is also a director of the Alchemy Guild, whether the territory owned by Christopher Magician can choose Invercargill Monster Forest, many citizens think that it can be chosen, since there are good
territory... then there is no reason not to choose?
But before the election, Wilkes City Council should come forward to communicate this issue.
That is to say, whether you apply for territory or apply to open up unknown areas, you need to do it in advance. It is impossible to do it first and then make up for it. This is not in accordance with the process.
It is precisely because citizens who hold this view are the mainstream group that everyone supports Christopher Magician to get Invercargill Monster Forest.
Archon Florian suggested that Christopher Magician and Viscount Suldak sit down to discuss the ownership of the Invercargill Warcraft Forest. In fact, such a large forest is more than enough even if divided equally among several noble lords.
The Magic Guild ignored it and instead promoted Christopher Magician, who was also an excellent alchemist, for his great contributions to Wilkes City.
Nowadays, when magical herbs are scarce, the profession of alchemist is gradually appearing in everyone's eyes.
The second reconsideration of the House of Representatives quickly approved that the territory of Invercargill Monster Forest belongs to Christopher Magician.
…
Suldak also left Wilkes City with Nika and Samira that day, and the group returned to Dodan Town along the way they came.
According to the orders of Great Swordsman Chester, the garrison in the northern part of the Bailin plane has begun to expel all magicians in the territory, and some adventure groups with magicians are leaving one after another.
On the road leading to Wilkes City, you will always see some adventure groups riding on horse-drawn carriages, heading towards Wilkes City.
Surdak rode the Gubo Lai war horse in front, while Nika and Samira were sitting in a magic caravan. Nika was not good at riding and did not have enough physical strength to ride on a horse for seven days in a row, and
Samira simply didn't want to wear a hood and gauze to bask in the scorching sun.
He was in a bad mood. He didn't expect that he had worked hard to open up the Invercargill Forest, and now he said that this land belonged to a magician.
Then the magic contract signed with the indigenous tribes in Invercargill Forest became a pile of waste paper. The most embarrassing thing is that I drove four indigenous tribes out of Invercargill Forest. Now I suddenly find out that I did what I said.
Everything turned out to be a farce.
Although Great Swordsman Chester said that this matter was not over yet, Suldak felt that this matter was probably irreversible.
I didn't expect that this would be the case.
After leaving Wilkes City and stepping into the vast grassland, his gloomy mood gradually improved. Suldak rubbed his numb face with both hands. After he returned, he still had to muster the courage to meet the natives.
The chief of the tribe should think about what to say after meeting. You can't keep talking about the weather...
At this time, the magic caravan following behind caught up, walking side by side with Surdak.
Nika opened the car window, stuck her head out, and said to Suldak:
"Master, when I was wandering around Wilkes City these two days, I heard something related to the magician Christopher."
Suldak turned his head suspiciously, looked at Nika, and motioned for her to continue: "There is a student next to Magician Christopher, his name is Joel Synge. He is a magician who just graduated from Wilkes School of Magic.
, he actually disappeared at the beginning of this month."
"The family, fiancée and friends of magician Joel Synge were all looking for news about him. When I visited the Magic Clock Tower in the Magic District that day, they happened to be carrying the portrait of magician Joel Synge everywhere.
Ask people on the street."
"I didn't pay attention at first, but I heard that his last trip was to go to Invercargill Monster Forest with Christopher Magic. At that time, his friends saw him off, and he happily told his family and friends that he was
I’m going to get rich.”
"But according to what Christopher Magic said after returning from Invercargill Forest, he and Joel Synge probably separated after they left Wilkes City because they were responsible for different tasks."
"Magic Joel Synge's family did not believe this statement, because before Magic Joel Synge left, he said that he would take Magic Christopher to Invercargill Forest. He also said that Magic Christopher Christopher had
Never been to Invercargill Forest.”
Suldak held the horse's reins with one hand, slapped his forehead vigorously, and said: "If this matter involves the magician Christopher, it cannot be solved with a small fine. After all, the other person is also a magician.
noble."
Nika stuck his head out of the window and said excitedly: "If they go to Invercargill Forest, they may not necessarily go through Dodan Town, but they will definitely pass through Keeran Town. And unfortunately, there is only one town in Keelan Town."
We can go to Jilan Town to check..."
She pointed to the road ahead and said to Suldak: "Master, let's go to Jilan Town!"
Every time Nika calls 'Master', Suldak always feels like someone is tickling the soles of his feet. It's hard to describe the feeling.
…
The next day, after Suldak arrived in Kilan Town, Nika immediately ran to the only hotel in the town.
Coincidentally, the front desk maid of that hotel was Nika's little sister. Nika got into the service area at the front desk, and the two chatted there for a long time. Not only did they find out the information about Christopher Magic and the magician living in the hotel,
We also found out that the magician Joel Synge found two street girls in the town that night and allegedly destroyed two sheets in the hotel...
Christopher the Wizard is lying.
Magician Joel Synge did not disappear, and he did not return to Wilkes City with Magician Christopher. He was probably killed on the way.
Christopher Magic is hiding the truth, and there is a high probability that he is the murderer of Joel Synge.
Suldak then remembered that on the night he met Christopher Magician in the southern part of the Invercargill Forest Mine, he was clearly alone.
Although this thing seems obvious at a glance.
But it is not easy to investigate.
The main reason is that no one except Christopher Magic knows the whereabouts of Joel Synge, but there is no way to interrogate him.
What exactly to do made Surdak fall into deep thought.
I thought that I might be able to return to Dodan Town and take Selina back to Wilkes City. The dark goddess Celine controls everything in the darkness. Dreamland is one of them. Maybe I can go to the dream of Christopher Magician to understand the situation.
But then Suldak thought that it might be impossible for him to get close contact with Christopher Magician now.
Depart from Keelan Town Hotel.
When he closed the door, he heard the sweet tinkling sound of the wind chime at the door. Suldak subconsciously touched his neck, where the phalanx of Viscount Fornak was tied to a rope.
He took the phalanges in his hand, turned around and returned to the hotel with Nika and Samira.
He walked to the front desk and said to the waitress with braids: "Get me two guest rooms, preferably the one where Christopher the Magician once lived, and prepare a pot of good afternoon tea for me...
"
The waitress quickly completed the formalities, took out a bunch of keys, and jumped upstairs to open the door for Suldak.
Surdak asked Nika and Samira to live next door, and walked alone into the room where magician Joel Sinji once lived.
Just after sitting in the room for a short while, the waitress knocked on the door with a plate of desserts and black tea. Suldak walked to the door, took the tea tray, and gave the waitress a silver coin tip.
The reason why he tipped so much was simply because he didn't have any change in his pocket.
After the waitress kept hinting that she could do more service, Suldak closed the door and locked it.
He placed the tea tray on the coffee table in the living room, then walked to the window and pulled up the thick curtains.
The room immediately became a little dark, and then he took out the piece of finger bone, put it in his mouth and blew gently... There was no sound.
The surrounding air suddenly turned cold, and Surdak found some bloody marks on the wall. A little blood seeped out from the wall, and then a kind of bloody thorns emerged from the wall, like countless trees growing crazily.
Vine, these dark red tree vines form an arch on the wall.
A big skeletal hand pushed open the broken wooden door and appeared silently in front of Suldak.
When the door behind him closed quietly, Surdak looked through the wooden door and saw the vast land inside made of countless bones.
The dark wind roared, and countless skeletons crawled out from the land of bones, forming an army of skeletons and walking slowly into the distance.
"Good afternoon, Suldak... Oh, I was promoted to Viscount, which is really a bit beyond my expectation!"
Viscount Fornac took off the hat on his head, floated to the front of the sofa, and sat down casually. He stretched his head forward, sniffed the steaming black tea in front of him, and said to Suldak with a smile: "
It’s been a long time since I’ve had black tea, and this taste really makes me miss it!”
…
The day after Suldak left Wilkes City, Miss Hathaway rushed to the Wilkes City Military Headquarters with a personal letter from Marquis Luther.
(Ten days ago, Great Swordsman Chester wrote a letter to Marquis Luther in the Tarapagan area about the dispute in the Bailin plane)
Unexpectedly, Marquis Luther sent a reply so quickly. Luther not only replied to the Great Swordsman of Chester, but also wrote a letter to the Consul of Florian in Wilkes City.
At the same time, Hathaway and Beatrice passed through the portal in Bena City and delivered these two autographed letters from Marquis Luther to the great swordsman Chester in the military department.
Marquis Luther said in his letter:
'I am amazed that the Wilkes Territory Management Bureau was able to assign the Invercargill Monster Forest to Christopher Magic during the beast tide.
The noble lords are willing to station troops in the border towns of the plane. It is definitely not just doing good deeds, but a series of related benefits that make the noble lords willing to come to the plane to garrison.
Obviously, the citizens of Wilkes City have forgotten who allowed them to live a happy life at this moment. For such plane residents, the Luther Army announced that it will completely evacuate the Bailin plane at the end of this month.
I order: The Great Swordsman of Chester immediately summons the legion herald and issues a troop recall order to the Lutheran Legion in the northern occupied area. The Lutheran Legion prepares to evacuate all members of the Bailin Plane before the end of this month.’
This letter was brought personally by Hathaway Luther.
Marquis Luther publicly stated in Wilkes City that the Luther Army supported Suldak, which greatly cheered up the Wilkes military headquarters.
But the troubles that followed made them extremely distressed.
Although the Lutheran Army blocked the beast tide north of the Bailin Plane, the Lutheran Army is about to leave the Bailin Plane.
Which legion will succeed Luther's legion in the future is really a big problem. Even the local noble lords of the Bailin plane are unwilling to take over the garrison task of the northern area, because everyone knows that the undeveloped land north of the Thorns Mountains is about to change.
Become the territory of Christopher the Magician.
So the noble lords shouted in the House of Representatives: Since the magician is going to open up the territory of the Invercargill Monster Forest, it is up to the magician to station there himself.
Consul Florian personally went to the military headquarters to see the Great Swordsman Chester, trying to persuade the Great Swordsman Chester to suspend the Luther Army's decision to withdraw from the Bailin plane.
In order to avoid Consul Florian, the Great Swordsman of Chester had already taken the order from Marquis Luther and personally went to various towns in the northern region to issue evacuation orders.
At this time, everyone remembered that the Luther Legion was the private army of Marquis Luther. As the warlord of the Bena Province, Marquis Luther was definitely not a good-tempered person.
