Chapter 44 Return of the property to its original owner
According to the information Richard obtained, Baron Sophia is only twenty-three years old this year.
Before going to Markholm Kingdom five years ago, I was already a three-ring magician.
Before leaving the Grant Kingdom, the eighteen-year-old Sophia was already a well-known magic genius in the north.
Received an invitation from the Grant Kingdom Magic Association.
In five years, according to Baron Sophia's magic talent, it is very likely that she will advance to an intermediate magician.
Although she is a woman, Baron Sophia's combat prowess is estimated to be comparable to William's.
Sophia came to the door today, and I don’t know if she is a friend or an enemy.
What happened back then was that Richard stole Baron Stoppa's treasure.
Now that the mistress has come to the door, Richard is at a loss as to how to face Baron Sophia.
"Sir Richard, you should be clear about the purpose of my coming today. I hope that the Harland family can return the Stopa family's collection of books. As for you secretly learning the magic collected by the Stopa family, I represent the Stopa family.
There will be no further investigation.”
Sophia's purpose of coming was very clear. She stared at Richard and prepared to wait for the Harland family's reply.
If Richard's answer does not satisfy Baron Sophia, it seems that he will turn against him at any time.
Richard knew in his heart that falling out with Baron Stoppa was the worst choice.
Of course, he can choose not to admit it.
But how do nobles relate to each other?
It's not about what you say, but what you do.
Once he refuses to admit his fault, it is equivalent to giving Baron Sophia a clear attitude.
Now the Harland family is stronger than the Baron Stopa family.
Last year, my third uncle Bernie was promoted to a fourth-level professional and was promoted to the deputy captain of the Sixth Battalion of the Northern Army.
Counting Richard, Roland, and the Harland family, there are four mid-level professionals with combat strength.
With the addition of uncle Soros as a foreign aid, a conflict broke out between the two families, and the Harland family had a greater chance of winning.
But in a special area like Northern Xinjiang, nobles would not easily break out into conflicts with their neighbors.
The orcs in Northern Xinjiang invaded every few years, and the noble territories were often lost.
Neighbors sometimes have bad blood and enmity with each other, making it difficult to cooperate when war breaks out.
Once there is a conflict between the lords, they will often refuse to save it, or even make trouble behind their backs.
In the end, both sides lose, and often no one can keep their territory, giving the orcs an advantage.
"Baron Stoppa's collection of books is in Black River Castle. The badges, magic books, and breathing methods are all in my hands. Baron Sophia can take these things away at any time. I am very sorry about this matter. In the future, the Harland family will have
If there are other magical inheritances, I am willing to let the Stopa family copy one.
Our two families are neighbors, and I hope we can turn enemies into friends."
After hearing Richard's answer, Baron Sophia was quite satisfied.
Today, the Barony of Stopa has a population of less than 2,000.
These people are slaves purchased by Sophia.
The Stopa territory has a complete castle and cultivated mature fields. Compared with the Harland family, production is easier to restore.
In order to defend her territory, Sophia recruited soldiers from slaves and formed a squadron of private troops.
However, she had no breathing techniques, no qualified officers, no craftsmanship to resume production, and she had lost her family's book collection.
Various problems came one after another, making it difficult for Sophia to cope.
At this moment, Sophia accidentally heard that Richard next door actually used healing spells to treat the injured slave.
The magic book lost by the Stoppa family recorded two spells for treating minor injuries and treating minor injuries.
When the orcs invaded, Richard was stationed in a nearby castle.
There were various signs that Richard was the one who took away the family's books. She had doubts in her heart and immediately decided to come to the Harland territory to meet Richard.
If Richard refused to admit it, she would prepare a fireball spell on Richard.
Then he took action to capture Richard, whether it was negotiating with William or going to the noble court to convict the Harland family of theft and take the initiative in his own hands.
Even if it offends the Harland family, he will not hesitate.
Moreover, catching Richard and getting back the Silver Wolf Breathing Technique can not only train soldiers, but also solve a lot of production troubles by collecting craft books at home.
Unexpectedly, things turned out so smoothly. Richard directly admitted to stealing the books and was willing to compensate for the losses.
Such an attitude was beyond Baron Sophia's expectations.
Baron Sophia knew that the Harland family had just been promoted to hereditary baron, and they had little background and could not have any precious book collection.
But what this first-generation hereditary baron of military merit is best at is warfare.
Gaining the goodwill and favor of the Harland family, which is located in the northern border where wars are frequent, is very important to the security of the Stopa family's territory.
Richard handed back the blue badge he carried with him to Sophia, and then returned the original magic book.
After getting the magic book, Richard copied two copies very early.
One copy was given to my sister Wendy, and the other is kept in the family library.
Richard asked his sister Wendy to copy the books collected by Baron Stoppa in order of importance.
Throughout last year, this was what Wendy mainly did.
In a whole year, more than half of the Stoppa family's collection of books has been transcribed, and the investment in paper and ink alone amounted to 200 gold coins.
The original books brought from Vicksburg are no longer of use to the Harland family.
“Turn enemies into friends?
Our two families are neither enemies nor friends. How can we turn enemies into friends?
Is the Haaland family willing to be friends with our Stopa family?"
"Of course, we are willing to become friends with all the nobles nearby."
The two exchanged a few polite words. Baron Sophia took the badge and magic book, and prepared to go to Black River Castle with Richard in a few days to recover the Stoppa family's book collection.
Sophia was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Richard.
"There are some broken beehives here, and there are some unhatched bee eggs inside. I wonder if they are of any use to your home?"
Richard took out the purple-headed peak hives he picked up from Vicksburg from the house and showed them to Sophia.
Sophia took over these broken beehives, observed them carefully for a moment, and used the life detection spell. She immediately couldn't hide the smile on her face and said: "The remaining bee eggs still have vitality. After using the life spell, there should be some
Opportunity to activate bee eggs."
Richard knew that insects are extremely vital and many insect eggs can be hidden in the soil for more than ten years, waiting for a suitable opportunity to hatch.
The Queen Bee of the Purple Head Peak is a first-level monster, and the eggs she lays are very special. After reading the books in Baron Stoppa's house, Richard knows that the Queen Bee of the Purple Head Peak is a precious medicine that can be used to detoxify.
In particular, most snake venom and scorpion venom can be eliminated with bee eggs.
Knowing how precious this thing is, Richard has kept the insect eggs until now.
Today, the owner of the bee came to the door, which made Richard very embarrassed. When Sophia was about to leave, Richard was reluctant to return the bee eggs to the original owner.
