Chapter 142 Don't even think about invading an inch of Rolling Stone Town's territory!
tickets)
…
Outside the dense tree house, Henry approached cautiously. He left his apprentice outside the farm and went over alone to get close.
"What magic props were used to create such a magnificent residence in the wasteland all at once?"
Henry looked at the scene in front of him with envy in his eyes.
He guessed that there must be high-level bosses among this group of mages, at least starting at the fifth level.
This speculation made him feel a little uneasy.
Mages have always been arrogant and lonely, especially senior mages. They hate being disturbed by others the most.
It's actually risky to try hard on your own.
However, this was the best solution he could think of at the moment.
Without the power of the Seven Saints Alliance, it was difficult for him to imagine that he could suppress the wanderer and the poet in negotiations.
Henry's steps were not slow, but every step was heavy.
He had written a script in his mind in advance and thought of every way to say it.
Soon he discovered a place worthy of surprise——
There is no magic barrier outside the tree house!
This means that the mages inside do not exclude communication with people outside.
He plucked up the courage and walked in. Soon, he saw a long magic table, where most of the mages were eating and drinking without any image at all.
Henry breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not dare to use detection spells to spy on the levels of this group of people, but he could make a judgment based on common sense——
These people should all be mage apprentices.
Intermediate mages who are apprentices or above would not eat food so disregarding their image.
It's much easier to say that as an apprentice.
Although there is still a huge gap in status between the two sides, their own level advantages can make up for it to some extent.
Think so.
Henry walked by the magic table with a smile on his face.
He tried to strike up a conversation with several mages.
However, no one paid any attention to him.
A few minutes later.
The smile on Henry's face stiffened.
He felt very humiliated!
After all, he is also a level 15 mage, is he so ignored by others?
But very quickly.
This humiliation turned into helplessness.
He's actually used to it.
This is the tragedy of the wild mage.
No matter how high the level is, without establishment, it is still nothing.
The world of mages is a more snobbish world.
Wild mage means poverty, backward magic methods, scarcity of magic props, lack of magic knowledge and a series of shortcomings.
Mages from the alliance, even apprentices, rarely look squarely at wild mages.
Henry once had a mage friend, and the two agreed to work together. In order to pass the Seven Saints Alliance's assessment for the recruitment and promotion of wild mages, they worked together for nearly three years.
However, in that assessment.
His friend came ashore.
Henry himself lost the opportunity to become an Alliance mage because of one point difference.
After that, he failed to recover.
Although the friend had been encouraging him and sharing his property with Henry, hoping that he could persist for three years and take the exam again.
However, Henry rejected her.
Soon after he left silently.
Wandering alone, he became a veritable wild mage.
This kind of life is not bad, after all, no matter how humble a wild mage is, he is still a noble mage master in a slightly backward territory.
Gradually.
Henry completely forgot the shame of being rejected by the Alliance.
She also buried that in her heart.
But today.
When he met the people of the Seven Saints Alliance again.
That feeling of humiliation came to my mind again.
He found that he was still so powerless.
Except gritting your teeth.
There is nothing he can do.
"If one day I can control legendary power, I will destroy everyone who looks down on me!"
He stood aside with a stiff face, and his mind was filled with crazy thoughts.
But after a while.
There was still a smile on his face.
Because a handsome young mage walked towards him.
The other party’s voice was also very gentle:
"Hello, do you need help?"
Henry was immediately flattered:
"Oh no no no, I just came over - I saw you guys landed here and I just wanted to come over and say hello."
The young mage smiled and asked:
"Is that so? Are you a mage living nearby?"
Henry wanted to tell the other party that he came from the Red Earth Mountains, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly had an idea:
"Yes, I am from Rolling Stone Town. I am the new magic consultant of Rolling Stone Town. My name is Henry."
After saying this, Henry couldn't help but feel proud.
He was giving himself a thumbs up like crazy in his mind.
The reason why he temporarily changed his story was because he suddenly considered that the influence of Master Ronan should still be there, and these people might have a natural affinity with the people of Rolling Stone Town.
Anyway, he was just pretending to be powerful, and there was no need for these mages to actually meet with the negotiators in Rolling Stone Town.
In Henry's plan.
He just needs to stay here a little longer and let the people in Rolling Stone see that he has come out of the tree house.
As for whether we can win the support of the alliance mages.
He has never considered this issue.
Because that's unrealistic.
"Rolling Stone Town? It seems very close."
The young mage muttered to himself.
Henry chuckled and said:
"It's very close, just to the north. By the way, what's your name?"
The young mage said cheerfully:
"My name is Matthew."
Henry secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Matthew?
I don't think I've heard of it.
According to the information from Red Earth Mountain, the most powerful person in Rolling Stone Town is a warlock named Zeller.
Secondly, its lord Rhaegar is equally unfathomable.
In addition, there were rumors of a necromancer and a bone dragon, but everyone in Hongtu Mountain unanimously judged that this was just a rumor.
These days, all the necromancers are in White Rock City. Even if the Bone Dragon from White Rock City comes to Rolling Stone Town, it is impossible for them to stay there for a long time.
So he had never heard of Matthew's name at all.
Henry's observation skills are very keen.
Have a casual conversation.
He realized that the Matthew in front of him seemed to have a transcendent status among this group of mages.
I stood here before and no one paid attention to me.
But after Matthew came over.
Almost everyone glances here from time to time while eating.
This shows that Matthew is most likely the leader of this group of mage apprentices!
"He may be a fifth-level mage, or he may have many powerful props. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the origin of the magic carpet, tree house, and feast."
Henry was envious and excited.
He felt that he had seized a good opportunity, so he started talking to Matthew with all his eloquence.
Under Henry's deliberate flattery, Matthew was indeed amused by his witty remarks and laughed out loud.
Then several mages finished their meal and joined in.
However, they all kept a considerable distance from Henry and Matthew.
Only when they heard Henry mention a certain funny point, they would smile reservedly and not too loudly.
This scene perfectly fits Henry's guess about Matthew.
He decided to hug this thigh tightly.
Henry told several dirty jokes one after another, and also told some local customs and rural stories of the Red Earth Mountains. Of course, the locations of these stories were all set in Rolling Stone Town.
Matthew listened attentively and asked some small questions from time to time.
Henry always answered cleverly.
The relationship between the two quickly heated up.
After chatting for a while, Henry took the opportunity to ask:
"Mr. Matthew, what are you doing here in this remote place?"
Matthew replied:
"Outing."
"Don't you think the scenery here is very nice?"
Henry nodded:
"It's very good, but it's not the most beautiful here. There is a nearby West Valley, and the scenery there is truly beautiful."
After saying this, he couldn't help but slap himself.
Why should we mention Xigu as soon as possible?
There is an army of Red Earth Mountain stationed there!
What if this group of mages were in a mood and then passed away? Wouldn’t this cause trouble for themselves?
In order to avoid saying too much and making mistakes, Henry also thought that time was running out, so he said:
"I just saw you guys stopping here and came here to pay me a visit. In fact, I still have some very important things to do."
Matthew was indeed fooled:
"What is it? Is it more important than the conversation between you and me?"
Henry felt a little proud, but he still had a look of regret on his face, and then he said:
"It's not a big deal, I just want to participate in a negotiation between mortals. It makes you laugh. We wild mages have to participate in the battle between lords. We are far less aloof and comfortable than alliance mages like you.
.”
Matthew thought for a while:
"Do you need me to go with you?"
Henry's heart tightened and he quickly refused:
"No, no, I won't bother you with this kind of thing. I'll just go by myself."
Unexpectedly, Matthew insisted:
"go together."
Seeing that it was hard to resist the kindness, Henry rolled his eyes and said:
"All right."
Seeing that Henry agreed, Matthew smiled and said hello to the other mages:
"Everyone, I need to go over and participate in negotiations between mortals. You can do it yourself."
All the mages immediately said in unison:
"Master Matthew, walk slowly!"
Several other mages said diligently:
"If there is anything we can be useful for, please feel free to give us your instructions."
When Henry saw this, he thought to himself: This Matthew has a very high status and is approachable. He is a person worth making friends with.
The two left the tree house and walked directly into the farm.
Didn't walk a few steps.
Henry gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice:
"Lord Matthew? Can I pretend that I am also from the Seven Saints Alliance?"
As he spoke, he stuffed a small cloth bag into Matthew's hand.
As soon as Matthew rubbed his hands, he knew that there were about a hundred gold coins inside.
He thought for a while:
"It's okay, as long as you and I are on the same team."
Seeing that Matthew was so easy to talk to, Henry was overjoyed and said:
"Of course we are in the same group!"
As he spoke, he excitedly led Matthew to the door of the negotiation location.
The owner of the farm was stunned for a moment when he saw Matthew, then lowered his head and remained silent.
Henry didn't notice this.
The two of them walked in directly.
The scene in the room is not very nice.
More than a dozen people on the Hongtu Mountain side were tied to the ground with straw ropes.
Jeffries is the worst.
After Luo Lan exposed all the dirty things he had done in the past, he was so embarrassed that he shrank in a corner alone, holding his head in his hands. It seemed that he could feel the strange eyes from his younger brother every moment.
However, the three people in Rolling Stone Town were in trouble.
Richard was leaning on a cane and his back was straight. He seemed not to understand what tiredness meant;
Zeller was sitting on a chair, closing his eyes and concentrating, playing with a frog doll in his hand. He suddenly opened his eyes when he heard footsteps approaching;
As for Lorraine.
Luo Lan lay on the negotiating table with an enchanting figure, holding a small pornographic book in his hand and reading attentively.
Love-shaped chest hair sprouted from the spacious collar, adding a bit of masculinity to his bohemian posture.
Henry saw this.
Suddenly he shouted sharply at the three of them:
"Are you going too far?"
"Do you know who I am? I'm from the Seven Saints Alliance! Why don't you release all my people quickly!?"
The three people in Rolling Stone Town looked at each other in shock after hearing this.
Lorraine jumped down from the table and looked at Matthew curiously:
"Is this some trendy performance art?"
Zeller looked at Henry seriously:
"Are you the real person in charge of negotiations at Red Earth Mountain?"
Richard's expression still looked serious at first, but half a second later, he burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
"what's so funny!"
Henry was dissatisfied.
At this time Matthew pulled his sleeves kindly:
"Come on, let's go sit down."
Said.
He forced Henry to sit on the negotiating table.
It's just where the two of them sit.
Surprisingly, they are on the same side as the Rolling Stone trio.
Henry was completely confused. As soon as he sat down, he hurriedly reminded Matthew:
"Sit down, sit down, sit down, our position is over there."
Matthew patted him on the shoulder kindly:
"I'm not sitting backwards, my place is right here."
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Matthew. I am the new spell consultant in Rolling Stone Town. I currently hold the rank of A1 in the Seven Saints Alliance. Nice to meet you, Mr. Henry."
Henry was stunned when he heard this.
There was a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Then his face turned red and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"you you you……"
His voice seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak smoothly.
Matthew gave him some time to react.
After a while he asked:
"Do you want to sit over there?"
He pointed to the spot across the negotiating table.
"Sit over?"
Henry couldn't help but shuddered.
The next second, he suddenly slammed the table hard and shouted righteously at the dozen guys opposite who were tied up with straw ropes:
“Jeffreys!
And you rats who don’t know the heights of heaven and earth!
Go back and tell the lord——
No, go back and tell that militaristic kid!
A day with me, Henry.
You can't even think of invading an inch of our territory in Rolling Stone Town!
Don’t even think about it!”
Everyone looked at him dumbfounded.
Henry ignored the burning shame on his face, turned around and bowed his head:
"Dear Lord Matthew, as I said before, of course I am with you."
"I, Henry, will always be with you!"
…
A few minutes later.
The dozen Red Earth Mountain personnel headed by Jeffries were driven out of the West Valley Farm in embarrassment.
Henry, who changed sides in time, was left behind.
Currently being interrogated by Zeller, Lorraine and Richard.
Matthew originally wanted to participate.
But soon he felt uninterested——
Henry's cooperation is so high.
Often when you ask a question here in Rolling Stone, he not only rushes to answer it, but also answers it for more than ten minutes. He explains everything related to the question clearly and comprehensively.
This is certainly a good thing for Rolling Stone.
But Matthew was a little bored.
He originally thought that Henry, who was also a necromancer, would resist, and he was even ready to instigate rebellion.
Who knew it would be such a result!
"Forget it, it's a disappointment, it's a good result."
Matthew left the negotiation hut bored.
Soon after, Ekmund appeared on his way back to the treehouse.
"How was the talk?"
His smiling eyes seemed to see through everything.
Matthew knew that his deceptive behavior might not be able to hide it from others, but Ekmund was definitely clear in his heart.
He silently agreed, for which Matthew was very grateful.
"There should be good results, thank you for your help."
Matthew said sincerely.
Ekmund waved his hand:
"It's just a little effort."
"The clouds of war have spread across the continent of Irondor. Once the craze starts, you don't know when it will end."
"About this issue, the alliance has discussed it many times. The final result is - we will not actively interfere in mortal wars. The mages in the alliance may participate in the war. Do you understand what I mean?"
Matthew nodded.
Ekmund's point was very clear——
The Seven Saints Alliance itself, as a transcendent existence, will not openly side with a certain territory or city-state in this war craze.
But the mages in the alliance can play freely.
After the enfeoffment of hundreds of cities.
Almost every city-state on this continent has its own mage advisor or mage city lord.
The Alliance's non-interference approach may lead to the escalation of the war below.
It may even affect the alliance itself.
But as long as the war remains within control, the alliance's top leaders, represented by the Seven Saints, will ignore it.
"This round of war will also be an opportunity for personnel replacement within the alliance. We need more fresh blood, and this continent also needs slight pain to stimulate more vitality."
Ekmund said with emotion.
Matthew didn't answer.
He knew that the "slight irritation" described by Ekmund could be a disaster for some families or a certain city-state.
But objective laws are unavoidable.
The gods are eyeing this continent.
The peace that lasted for hundreds of years after Tianlun Palace was ascended will be gone forever.
For future generations.
It's just that "history has turned a new page."
Only those who are in it can truly feel the surging wave of the times.
"By the way, I have a little discovery. Let me take you to see it."
"It could be a safety hazard around Rolling Stone."
Ekmund said and opened a random door.
The two pass through any door.
Appeared in the West Valley.
The scenery in front of us is indeed very beautiful, but the oncoming legion is a bit of a disgrace.
"who?"
A soldier discovered the two of them.
Ekmund seemed not to see him and just strode forward.
Matthew followed step by step.
Wishes of white light swayed out from Ekmund's sleeves.
Group body fixation technique!
in a blink.
All the soldiers in the temporary camp were locked in place.
An unlucky soldier was ladling soup from the pot when he was immobilized. As a result, he could only watch as the soup in the spoon crazily slid down his mouth.
My chest and crotch were all wet.
Not long after.
The two of them arrived outside a tent in the center.
Ekmund raised his eyelids.
The cloth around the tent flew away one after another, leaving only a skeleton composed of a few ropes and some wooden boards.
Sitting inside was a stiff man wearing scarlet armor.
He looks like a barrel man.
As soon as Ekmund saw him, he immediately said:
"Sure enough, it's "Dragon Puppet"."
"If I guess correctly, the new lord of Red Earth Mountain is a red dragon!"
