Afterwards, many people knew that this was a complete conspiracy, but there was absolutely nothing they could do about it.
Heath looked at the body that had been burned to charcoal on the ground, and then looked up at the sky.
unconsciously
got windy.
...
The brilliance of the sea of trees, the tower of wisdom.
In front of the desk, Halke was leisurely leaning on a chair and drinking afternoon tea, holding a cat-teasing stick in his hand and teasing the white cat on the table.
The number of nobles in Brittany who have surrendered has increased exponentially recently, and many nobles have expressed their willingness to accept their agreement and accept wizards as their faith. If this trend continues, it will not take long for Brittany to be completely recovered.
'Sure enough, a whip works better than candy!'
In the past, these short-sighted aristocrats had often made Halke very angry, and they would do anything to protect the little power they had. It really made people feel sick to their stomachs.
It's finally over. No matter how reluctant you are to believe these things after using the sword, you can only give in. After all, after seeing the power of magic, no matter how greedy you are, you can't continue to be ignorant, right?
'This apprentice has done a good job. He should be rewarded when he comes back...'
"Da da da!"
Just when I thought of this, suddenly, there was a burst of cramped footsteps outside the door. After a while, the office door was opened with a 'click', and a young man in his twenties wearing a cloak appeared outside the door.
It's his apprentice, Anson.
"Meow!~" The frightened white cat jumped away.
Halke frowned, and was about to scold this reckless apprentice, but as soon as he raised his head, he suddenly saw the panic on Anson's face. Although his apprentice was usually careless, if he showed such an expression...
Before Halke could ask, Anson spoke: "Something happened, teacher. There is news from Brittany. I'm afraid we are in trouble!"
...
"The wizard of Gray Castle used evil magic to brutally burn to death Earl Chris, Earl Chris of the Tomahawk family, who came to pledge his allegiance!"
The news quickly spread throughout the Ashwood and swept through Brittany.
The world is shocked!
The Tomahawk family is a well-known family in the Gray Woodlands and even in the entire Brittany. When foreign enemies invaded Brittany, they bravely stood up and gave the invaders a head-on blow. Count Chris himself
What's more, he has been kind to others all his life and can hardly find any black spots in his life.
For Gray Woodland and Brittany, such a family is a meritorious family and is like a hero!
But now, this old hero is on his deathbed. He came all the way to express his loyalty with sincerity, but in the end he ended up being burned alive. No matter what the reason or reason, this is always...
What a heinous crime!
Gray Castle, Garden Villa.
"These nobles are really..." Heath leaned on the chair and rubbed his head in pain. Although he already felt that something was wrong with the old man, he never imagined that the other party would use such vile methods.
Use tricks to plot against him.
It's like a weak and incompetent knight who is neither willing to confront the enemy head-on nor willing to let go of his power, so he tries his best to slander, slander, and throw dirty water in an attempt to confuse right and wrong.
Let others give up when faced with difficulties?
Humph, you are stubbornly resisting!
The progress of the Glory of the Sea of Trees cannot stop here. Even if he is driven away, other wizards will come. Unless these nobles take out their swords for a head-on confrontation, sooner or later they will understand that no matter what the conspiracy is, they will not be able to stop it.
No matter how much dirty water there is, it is just a scoundrel scolding and struggling to the death!
only…
Although the despicable behavior of these nobles will not have a big impact on the general situation, it must be said that it has really created a problem for him and made his situation very embarrassing.
"Where did the magic come from?" Heath was puzzled.
He inspected Chris's body afterwards and found that the other party's method was very simple. They used various materials to encapsulate the 'curse burning technique' in a potion, and then Chris drank it, which ultimately caused the self-burning effect in front of people.
However, there are currently only a few wizards in the Gray Woodland. Moreover, Cursed Burning is a combat spell that cannot be learned casually by wizards. Among the people Heath knew, only apprentice Madden mastered it.
Heath's Curse Burning Technique was extracted from him.
"Is he an apprentice of Madden?"
He was also one of the four apprentices sent to the Gray Woodland. It would make sense logically if he had not left the Gray Woodland, but he had no reason to do so? Was it in vain to create obstacles to the plan of the Glory of the Sea of Trees?
"Or are you talking about other unknown wizards? Like the clues from the Hedge Ruins? Or are you looking for potions prepared by other wizards outside the Gray Woodland?"
"Forget it, let's ask Shuhaizhihui first."
After much deliberation, Heath decided to report the situation to Shuhaizhihui first.
"Crack, snap, snap!"
"Goooooooo!"
However, before he could start writing, there was an owl cooing outside the window, and then he saw a white owl flying in from the window, holding a piece of paper with the Glory of the Sea of Trees coat of arms in his hand.
letter.
Heath was stunned: Why is the letter coming at this time...
Because it was necessary to calculate the round-trip distance of the owl, Heath's contact with the Glory of the Sea of Trees was basically on fixed days, and today was not the day for the letter, and the owl that sent him the letter was not the same one in the past...
He suddenly had a very bad premonition.
'Let's read the letter first.'
Heath suppressed his thoughts, took the letter from the owl and opened it, and at this glance...
His brows wrinkled unconsciously...
...
The brilliance of the sea of trees, the tower of wisdom.
Halke sat at his desk with a frown on his face, holding a newspaper in his hand. This is the Magic Daily that was just released today. The title is:
"Magic and the Killing of Innocents".
No matter what kind of organization it is, it is impossible to give him a completely solid foundation. Not everyone in the Glory of the Sea of Trees is on his side, and there are even some people who are simply waiting to see his jokes, and the Magic Daily, a public
The platform is also beyond his control.
Therefore, it is incomprehensible why he has not even received a statement from the apprentice himself. The daily newspaper has already described the whole incident in a strange and yin-yang style. It is about eagerness for quick success, ruthlessness, and madness... It's just not mentioned.
He said with a pinched nose that this is a dark wizard!
The meaning behind the words is the same, inciting everyone to find out who selected this apprentice to carry out this operation? And who allocated resources to train him so that he can make rapid progress? This black sheep must be caught out!
Actually, it doesn't matter if they say a few words. If one or two inflammatory remarks can kill him, then his ashes may have been raised... The yin and yang is just a manifestation of the clown's incompetence and cannot be caused.
Regardless of how substantial the impact is, it is more likely to backfire on oneself, causing incompetence and rage.
But there is another issue that he must pay attention to!
In addition to the newspaper, there is a letter that has just been opened on the desk. There is a strange circular mark printed on the cover. It is a glowing magic wand surrounded by three flying books. This is in the wizarding world.
The well-known magic wand and book represent——
The Alliance of Witches!
After reading the letter and thinking deeply, Halke quickly made a decision: "Anson, send a letter to that apprentice and tell him... let him withdraw."
Of course he knows that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. It is impossible for the apprentice to kill innocent people for no reason and make such a big noise in front of everyone. Even based on his understanding of those nobles, this is probably a basin of malicious dirty water.
.
But what the truth is is not important now. What is important is that he must prevent the situation from expanding further...
...
"Withdraw?"
The reaction speed of Shu Hai Zhi Hui was beyond Heath's expectation. Before he could figure out how to report the details of this incident, Shu Hai Hui over there had already sent a letter and asked him to evacuate.
Gray woodland.
So, faced with this order from the Glory of the Sea of Trees, how should we choose?
