Chapter 3 Finding a Foothold

The first Earl of Perast was a great knight with great fighting spirit. When he followed King Salar, he hoped to establish a small principality himself, and even prepared several places for himself. Unfortunately, the beast tide broke out that year.

, the development of the Salal Kingdom came to an end. The defense line was too far away from where the great knight was preparing. He had never been able to become a Sky Knight, so he had no choice but to give up.

This earl had always hoped that a heavenly knight would appear among his descendants, so he hid the location in his notes and left it to his direct descendants. The border of Salar has indeed been gradually pushed further over the millennia, but unfortunately his descendants did not even have a few great knights.

If Salal hadn't stipulated that nobles must be knights or above before they could inherit, Perast would probably have no knights left.

On the second day after he became a warlock, Hill began to analyze which locations were suitable for building a mage tower. Knight Perast had many wonderful ideas, but his weak strength made him look for some highly hidden places, which were very suitable.

Hill.

Hill finally chose a valley about 15 days away from the border of the Kingdom of Salal. It was connected to the mountains and was about the size of an earldom. The Grand Knight of Perast felt that everything was good but the place was too small and suitable for him. Hill

He has no desire to establish a principality, legend is his pursuit.

Bonn's driving skills are very good and the alchemy carriage is very stable. Hill took out a pen and paper and silently calculated his inventory. He will soon have his own home.

After an unknown amount of time, Bonn knocked on the window several times: "Baron, it's time to rest and have a meal."

This is a camping site, and Bonn has set up an alchemy tent. Hill got out of the car and stretched his body, and Lina had prepared dinner. Before entering the tent to eat, looking at the busy Lina, Hill said to Bonn

: "I saw a maid on the way and bought a few. Let Lina teach me a lesson. The housekeeper only needs to take care of things!"

Bonn said with a smile: "I know! Mom doesn't want to buy servants here. She will consider it when she sees a good one."

Hill rolled his eyes at him: "Then you go and help. Let Lina take the child to sleep outside at night, and you go sleep in the carriage!"

"Okay, okay!" Bonn said helplessly, "How could I let my mother sleep in the carriage?"

After Hill entered, Bonn found Lina: "Mom, the Baron asked you to buy a servant!"

Lina looked at him: "You said this place is not suitable, right?"

"Of course I did!" Bonn said, "He feels sorry for your busy schedule! Also, he asked you to take Dean and Sunny to sleep outside."

"What do boys know!" Lina said resolutely: "This is so close to the royal city, and the better ones are all sent over! We can only buy people when we get to the border, just in time to add a few good horses. Okay, I know.

Now, let Dean and Sunny go in and sleep after the Baron goes to sleep!"

Locke came over and said, "Why don't we let them sleep in the carriage with me?"

"Just take good care of the horse!" Lina said: "The Baron doesn't want the children to suffer. No matter how comfortable the carriage is, it is not a bed. The children are sensible and will not make noises. The most important thing is to have a good rest! There is still such a long way to go!

"

"Yeah!" Locke agreed and went to feed the horse.

Hill smiled and listened to the conversation outside, summoned two earth elements to keep vigil, and then immersed himself in meditation.

After all, it was inside the kingdom, and nothing happened overnight. Hill left everything to Bonn to handle, and meditated silently every day. The journey was smooth. Hill was really glad that he was not a male protagonist in an Internet novel. He did not want to have a grand and exciting life.

In life, he hopes for a smooth journey and peace.

After traveling for a month, they finally arrived at the western border city of Fisher. Lina bought about 10 young servants from the previous cities and taught them carefully, and they were already of some use. Locke chose 2 older men.

It was enough for her children to train and follow the team to catch the carriage. Lina decided to buy some good horses in the border city.

Dean and Sunny have been staying in Hill's carriage these days, and Hill teaches them how to read when they are bored. Bonn's face looks earthy every time he sees them.

Hill felt so happy. It had been a long time since he had seen Bonn's face look like this.

No one in the Earl's castle likes Hill. But he is the master after all.

The servants could only bring their resentment to Hill's personal servant Bonn.

During the four years in the castle, even though Bonn tried his best to hide, there would always be times when he was caught. They did not dare to let him get seriously injured, but bumps and bumps were always inevitable.

Although these exercises have tempered Bonn's will, made him mature quickly, and even awakened a trace of mana. Bonn felt very accomplished, but Hill was still sad. Bonn was originally a cheerful and lively character, but he became more and more

Silent and cautious.

The pain of not being able to protect his childhood friends made Hill desperately thirsty for power. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why he suddenly awakened as a warlock. The further away from White Horse City, the more and more small escapes hidden in Bonn. Hill is really

happy.

They were going to rest in Fisher for a week. Hill found his mage robe and put it on. No one would offend the mage easily. Salar is a country built on the edge of the wilderness, and territories can only be opened up if it is more than 20 kilometers away from the national border.

, even if the Sky Knight is not lucky enough to encounter a few beast waves, he can only give up.

Salar is an emerging country that just lasted a thousand years. There is still a lot of room for development in the country. The small nobles and new knights who have separated can still make merit in the army guarding the border and gain titles from various lands. Now they can go abroad to build territories.

Most of them are the second sons of big nobles like Hill, and they are all capable people who do not want to stay in the country and be controlled by their elder brothers.

To the south of Salar is the royal family's motherland, Haefasardo. To the east is a long coastline. To the north is the most powerful barbaric land, and several small principalities have been established outside the territory of Salar.

Although the west is also a wilderness, it is mountainous and barren, so it is not suitable for founding a country, but it is very suitable for little warlocks like Hill who just want to build a small territory to hide.

Not many of the territories built near the western border of Salar survived, and they were all fortresses built in the mountains.

The border wall of Salar is still mainly for preventing animal tides, and there are not many illegal businesses in the city. Merchants also go out of the city to deliver goods to the noble territories, and buy furs, horses and special products on the way.

Robbers like to rob merchants who deliver goods to noble territories. Merchants and robbers who can persist in such a place must have the support of powerful people. In fact, this also constitutes a balance.

On the other hand, few mages who leave the city dare to offend. A mage taking his servants out of the country may be to build a mage tower, but it is more likely to offend someone and go out to live in seclusion for a few years. After all, the lords are spending money and effort to invite mages to settle down.

.

Good things are contained in rings, and they cannot be trapped. They can run away as soon as they want, and even if they plot against someone, they may fail. If they turn back to take revenge, they must go directly to the person behind the scenes. And if the person who pays the money causes trouble once, it will be done away with.

No one is doing the work that brings little benefit but also costs lives.

Hill stayed in the best hotel in the city and stayed there. Locke took Bonn to buy horses, and Lina trained the newly bought servants in the hotel. On the last day, she went out to buy enough food to fill a carriage.

Hill took out two more alchemy carriages, and the people who secretly monitored them gave up. It was the hard-working mage who went out to live in seclusion, and there were actually two carriages in the ring! The carriages are valuable, but for a few

A mage who robs a train carriage has lost his mind.

The Great Wall of the Western Border cost the Salar Kingdom a lot of manpower and material resources. It was built with huge boulders between two mountains 500 kilometers apart. It is 300 meters high and 100 meters wide. The inner and outer sides are covered with protective magic circles.

.

Looking at the Great Wall winding up the mountains from a distance, he only felt majestic and majestic. But when he walked to the bottom and saw the huge black city wall stones shining with magical light, Hill felt intimidated. In this tunnel dedicated to leaving the city,

After showing the noble document, Hill looked back at where he came from, and he didn't know how many years it would be before he came back.

The 20 kilometers outside the city must be cleared at regular intervals, but the bumpy road outside the city is not easy to walk. Hill took out an alchemy map and handed it to Bonn, then looked back at the Great Wall.

There are a total of 4 border towns on the Great Wall. He specifically showed the noble documents. Although the count would also know where he was going, he had to let Frank know where he was leaving and where he was going.

Hill activated the magic circle of the alchemy carriage, and Bonn set off at the head of the carriage.

Hill placed a wood spirit on each of the four carriages. The magic power on them was enough to activate the floating formation. Each carriage had two horses taking turns to exert force, and the speed was very fast.

The wood spirit can soothe the horses and restore their strength, and the magic stones in the carriage are enough to maintain the defensive formation. Hill sat in the carriage with peace of mind and waited to see if there was really a blind person.

As a result, no one attacked until he left the safe area. Hill sighed with relief and regret. He knew he was cowardly, but he really didn't want to kill anyone.

Bonn was much stronger than him. Since he had the magic power to go out, the scroll potions that Hill gave him were all consumed. Hill knew that he must have encountered trouble while traveling outside.

But he knew that Bonn was silent because he didn't want Hill to stop him from going out, so he could only silently prepare protective items for him, and gave 2 of Bonn's 4 rings. He filled one of them with scrolls, potions and alchemy bombs.

Hill has read many novels before, and the protagonists are all children who grew up in the greenhouse of modern society. Many people have not even experienced the beatings of society, but they can kill immediately and decisively! How hard-hearted this is.

Only then can we do it!

After Hill graduated from college, he worked on construction sites for more than 10 years. He encountered numerous clients who wanted him to beat him to death, and he was on the verge of losing control of his anger every day, but he never took action. He was trained by modern legal society.

As a grown up child, he doesn't want to kill anyone.

But now he lives in this terrible world, where human life sometimes seems so cheap. Even the simple Melanie in his eyes will burn the thief who enters the manor with a fireball. The passionate mother Lina and the calm Locke whip

There is no mercy for slaves who make mistakes.
