Volume 1, The World of Wizards, Chapter 133, The Beginning
Marcus left the two of them in the camp, probably because he was worried that their noble status would overwhelm him. After all, he came from a humble background. Even if he was promoted earlier, he still worried whether the royal family would look down on him.
Not to mention the ordinary people accompanying him, Pendragon came this time with three high-level knights and more than ten knight attendants. After all, the family rose to the level of knights and did not have much wizard power in their hands, so they did not send any troops this time.
Come.
The accompanying wizards in the team are the Herrsters from the Judicial Inquisition under the Wizards Union. There are only five people in total, all of them are awakened ones, and they were also the lucky ones who escaped from the destruction of Appleton last time.
With such a lineup, when facing the only talent here, they would not dare to underestimate Marcus, so he naturally received enough respect and attention.
After a brief exchange of greetings, they parted temporarily. Both parties had their own things to be busy with.
"You mean we're going to be in big trouble soon?"
In the tent, Ian asked doubtfully. He didn't understand why Jasmine said that. Aren't the people from the royal family and the Wizards Alliance reinforcements? How could there be trouble?
Jasmine, who failed to mobilize the third-level magic item, was in a bad mood. She looked at Ian with a sullen expression, her eyes showing disdain, which made Ian's head burn. How come these bullshit nobles are always like this, looking down on others at every turn.
He looked away angrily and was about to go out for some air, when he heard Jasmine mutter softly: "I thought you would understand." Then she said, "It's not caused by this wizard city."
"Don't you understand... Appleton is the land of Camelot, but the Pendragon family does not have enough power to control it, so the Wizards Alliance ordered us to assist the royal family in rebuilding the order here to avoid causing turmoil. Although it is not
I fully understand that the Wizarding Alliance attaches too much importance to order, but the monastery did not object to this order, which is why we came here.
The royal family naturally needs us during the reconstruction process, but what about after the reconstruction? With our current strength, although there is only one large team of people, do you think the royal family can control Lady Sarah?
You must know that there can only be one voice in a piece of land!"
Jasmine was born in the Silver Light Family and had a thorough understanding of power, but Ian only thought it was nonsense. He shrugged disdainfully and said: "Who doesn't know that Lady Sarah is Lord Capas' bodyguard? After the mission is over,
She must be leading the team back. How can this place be close to Mount Norton? How can the monastery possibly see it?"
Although Appleton's energy field is gradually rising, it is nowhere comparable to Norton Mountain, which has been managed by wizards for thousands of years. Knights and wizards also need energy to improve.
But after hearing this, Jasmine smiled contemptuously and said: "We know, does the Pendragon family know? And do you know that Lord Capas will not send another person to replace Lord Sarah? What if Sentinel's Sorrow is interested in that again?
Where is the energy stone vein?"
"Don't speculate on people's hearts!" Ian gave her a silent glance and stopped answering Jasmine's words.
"Humph!" Jasmine chuckled when she heard the words, and her depression disappeared immediately. She knew that Ian was just being tough, so she said with a proud smile, "Look, the Pendragon family will let us hand it over sooner or later.
There will definitely be a conflict over the control of the magic circle."
"Really? I don't think so!" Marcus' voice came from outside, and he had already begun to refute Jasmine before anyone arrived.
Prescott fell behind Marcus and smiled slightly when he heard this, but said nothing.
Marcus said: "I don't think Kellogg meant this. They have already acquiesced to the territory we have drawn, so they set up another camp next to it. Besides, they need our strength, how could they fall out with us, Miss Phoenix?"
You are worrying too much."
Kellogg Cora Pendragon is the talker of this royal team. She had a harmonious conversation with Marcus before, which made Marcus feel like a breath of fresh air.
Jasmine rolled her eyes, restrained her contempt, and smiled: "Is that so? Maybe!"
I didn’t explain anything, I just thought to myself: Sooner or later, this guy will suffer from the guy named Kellogg, just wait and see the joke.
Poor people, poor people.
Five days later, the battle for the energy mineral vein officially began, and seven noble families from three provinces and four counties began a bloody duel.
The power of Sentinel's Sorrow began to shrink in Hanks Parish, and Marcus and Prescott were also transferred there. Except for Hanks Parish, there were only two or three Awakened cats and kittens left in each district of Appleton.
Only.
There was an episode before that. As the Hyde family was the only earl of Lae, Enya naturally should not be absent. Therefore, Dulles requested to take Enya away the night before going to Hanks Parish.
Ian didn't know what role his uncle played in this trip, so he didn't trust Dulles. In addition, he knew how dangerous it was over at Hanks Church, so he naturally
Rejected.
After Ian refused, Dulles was naturally helpless. Not to mention that what he left behind was his biological sister. What he kidnapped was Dulles' biological daughter. Dulles did not dare to take action at the Sentinel's War Camp, so he had to
He left alone and headed to Hanks Parish with a group of knights from the Hyde family.
But to Ian's surprise, when Enya learned that Arabella and Prescott would go to Hanks Church together, she offered to go along.
She said: "I stayed before because of my brother's love and care for me. But my father asked me to come out and experience it. Now it is time for me to fulfill my responsibility."
When Enya said this, her face remained expressionless.
It was difficult for Ian to understand the indifference behind her childish face, but a feeling of disgust and anger suddenly arose deep in his mind, which was the remaining physical reaction of the original owner.
Jasmine and Prescott stopped smiling, and only Arabella cheered, happy to be able to play with friends again.
After Marcus left, Ian naturally commandeered the vacant tent. Now it's fine and he no longer has to squeeze into the Datong bunkhouse.
Furthermore, the magic crystal was not taken away by Marcus because it was the centerpiece of maintaining the church's magic circle, so Ian could still enjoy Marcus' previous treatment.
Because of the participation of the Judicial Inquisition and the royal family, the burden on the third team has been greatly reduced, and the patrol intervals have become much longer.
Ordinary knights' fights rarely require the intervention of wizards, and can be stopped as long as the Pendragon family intervenes.
When he was free, Ian tried to find traces of the knights of the Hand of Justice. Although Dulles did not say anything and led the team away quietly, Ian knew that the knights could not really participate in the bloodshed.
duel.
"So where are you hiding?" Ian pressed his hand on the magic crystal, quietly sensing the energy fluctuations in Lu Ming Parish.
It's dark now, and now is the time to take action.
Yes, Ian can use this third-level magic item. After three upgrades and nearly a year of intensive accumulation, Ian's upper limit of mental power is almost the same as that of ordinary talented people. At least he can barely drive this item.
Magic crystal.
And this is still not his limit. No one knows how much potential Ian has after several improvements.
"Who are you talking about, Master Hyde?"
Jasmine opened the curtain with a smile, but she just saw this scene when she came in. The smile on her face immediately disappeared, and her inexplicable good mood disappeared inexplicably. She just thought jealously, how could this piece of wood be used to control level 3 magic items?
Yes, bastard!
Ian retracted his hand in embarrassment, secretly thinking that it was not good. He knew very well this woman's temperament, and it would not be a good thing to be jealous of her.
So he quickly said: "Of course it's the Hand of Justice group."
This place is a monastic camp, and it is monitored by magic crystals, so he is not afraid of being eavesdropped.
After hearing this, Jasmine immediately shifted her attention and asked curiously: "How do you know they are still here? Maybe they have already taken the treasures and left..." As she said this, she suddenly thought of her own team who had just left not long ago.
The treasure must have not been found, so I won’t go on talking about it.
Ian smiled and continued: "It seems that you have also thought about it. They must not have found the treasure. Right now is the only time in Lumo diocese where there are no gifted wizards. If they want to seize the treasure, they will definitely find it in these few days.
.Otherwise, once Marcus comes back, they will have no chance at all."
There is no doubt about the power of gifted wizards, and the Hands of Justice who came from the monastery will not know this, so they will never easily confront Marcus.
"But now that there are three more senior knights and five awakened wizards, they will definitely not act rashly." Jasmine said.
Ian shook his head: "Before Appleton was destroyed, the people of the Inquisition could of course use the magic circle to monitor the whole city, but now these knights and wizards don't have this ability. Neither do those pampered knights.
Go on patrol stupidly, otherwise why would they bring so many knights and attendants here."
He raised his hand and pointed at the magic crystal, and said confidently: "Just watch, they will definitely take action. Either tonight or tomorrow night, sooner or later."
Jasmine looked at his rarely shown confidence, feeling a little intoxicated and a little angry. Suddenly, the noble lady rolled her eyes and said in a deep tone: "Don't speculate on people's hearts... Master Hyde!"
