Volume 1: The Nobles Who Lost Their Territory Chapter 49 The Lord’s Majesty!
Capture the Masked Man with Two Swords?
There was a commotion on the city wall after hearing the shouts of several knights.
River Beach City actually sent out the Punishment Knights?
Isn’t this too exaggerated?
You know, the Punishment Knights are an armed force directly under the Chief Wizard Group, and they have stronger combat power than the patrol teams.
There are no more than 20 Punishment Knights in River Beach City, but each of them is at least a top-level second-level expert.
There are three guys like this?
This is a situation that is not even available for catching cultists...
Everyone in the Thorn Squad showed strange expressions. Gru even looked directly at the cat head.
The latter remained calm, but sneered in his heart.
Of course, he listened to Shuang Dao's threats. But even though he had someone behind him, the master he served was also of a high status.
He is willing to take a gamble!
Naturally, he didn't want to get involved in the game among the upper echelons of Hetan City, but if he tipped off someone, he could get a large sum of money, so why not do it?
As for the revenge of the Masked Twin Blades, what a joke. The Masked Twin Blades is very strong, but when surrounded by three Punishment Knights, does he still have hope of escape?
The answer is of course no!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reveal a smug look.
However, at this moment, his eyelids suddenly twitched!
What about the double-blade mask?
He was standing here just now, how come he suddenly disappeared?
Before Cathead could react, a weak but firm voice rang out from deep within the castle:
"Punishment Knights? Are all the Punishment Knights free now?"
"Where were you when my White River Valley was occupied by the gnolls?"
"Where did the oath you made when you pledged allegiance to the Wizarding Union go?"
"The White River Valley is my territory. You have trespassed into my territory. What do you want to capture in my territory? This is a serious violation of the regulations of the Wizarding Union!"
"Your behavior has seriously offended me! I don't know who ordered you to do this, but now, please get out of my territory immediately!"
Each word is harsher than the last.
A thin and pale young man walked out from the city wall. He looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness.
It seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
But his body was standing straight, and his voice was loud, so the three knights under the castle could hear it clearly!
Their faces changed drastically!
…
"My Lord!"
"My Lord!"
"My Lord, when did you come back?!"
The members of the security team were immediately excited!
They still thought that Marvin was still in River Beach City waiting for their good news.
Unexpectedly, Marvin had returned to the castle at some point!
When Cathead saw Marvin appear, he thought to himself, "Oh no!"
This little noble has such a meticulous mind!
He must have been following us and sneaked into the castle last night under the cover of Anna and others!
And the Masked Man with Two Swords must have been let go by him!
Now it's over!
Verne's mind was confused, but with his quick mind, he could already guess what would happen next!
…
That's right, Marvin is a poor little nobleman.
But aristocrats are still aristocrats.
When he was in River Beach City, he became penniless . Even gangs and casinos dared to bully him.
That's why the city hall dared to fool him. If you can't even protect your own territory, what's the use of being a noble?
River Beach City is not your territory, you have no authority.
But the White River Valley is different.
This is Marvin's territory!
Marvin has a high degree of autonomy over this land, and this power is granted by the Southern Wizard Alliance.
Anyone who attempts to challenge the autonomy of the noble territories will be regarded as a provocation to the Southern Wizarding Union!
No one dares to do this!
This is true even for the Punishment Knights, who hold a high position in River Beach City.
You know, the White River Valley and the River Beach City are not directly subordinate to each other. The White River Valley is completely independent. Even if it is the order from the Lord of the River Beach City, Marvin can choose to ignore it!
Because this piece of land was fought for by his grandfather, a high-level wizard. The Southern Wizard Alliance will guarantee Marvin's basic rights!
With the supreme ruling power of wizards, at least for now, no one dares to take risks for a little benefit.
The three Punishment Knights were stunned.
The lord behind them seemed to underestimate the little baron from the White River Valley.
The latter is not only not as cowardly as the legend says, but is actually very tough!
It was a bit taboo for our group to barge in without Marvin's permission.
Want to capture someone in the White River Valley... Without Marvin's permission, it's impossible!
The three of them looked at each other, all of them were a little angry.
But there was no other way. With their military strength, they could break into the castle even if the gates were tightly closed. Moreover, there was the Bobcat Squad to help from both inside and outside.
But they dare not.
This is the majesty of the lord!
The root of this lies in the supreme power of wizards of this era!
Now that the catastrophe has not yet arrived, Marvin can take advantage of the power of others!
…
The three Punishment Knights were silent for a while, and finally one of them shouted: "Baron Marvin, the Masked Swordsman is a very dangerous wanted criminal..."
His words were interrupted by Marvin: "I didn't see any official wanted poster in the River Beach City Hall!"
"I only saw an anonymous wanted poster in all the major guilds. Anyone with money can do this kind of wanted poster, right? In my opinion, Mr. Masked Swordsman is being targeted by a wealthy enemy."
"But I don't care about these things. You can go to other places to see the Twin Blade Mask and try to capture him."
"But in my territory. He is not guilty. He is as welcome as any other commoner, craftsman or merchant."
Having said this, Marvin pretended to cough violently for a while, then said sternly: "Please leave!"
"We just cleared out the gnolls, and there's still a lot of business to take care of."
"When I was in the most critical moment, Riverside City Council did not give me any help."
"So, from now on, White River Valley does not welcome any official personnel from River Beach City!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!
Even Anna showed a look of surprise!
Ma Wen's words are equivalent to breaking off relations with Hetan City!
This is no joke. Other things are fine, but as for food, the White River Valley purchases it from Riverside City every year!
After the severance of diplomatic relations, how will the food problem be solved? How will the trade problem be solved?
These are all huge problems.
"My Lord..." Anna couldn't help but want to say something.
Marvin waved his hand and pretended to be angry: "I have made my decision."
"Now, I'm going to rest."
"If those three refuse to leave, I will use the [September Medal] once and apply to the Wizarding Union for an arbitrator."
After saying that, he left silently.
Leaving a group of people on the city wall stunned.
The adventurers showed different expressions, but Gru was relieved. He dared to bet that the Masked Man with Two Blades should still be in the castle.
With Baron Marvin’s tough attitude, the three Punishment Knights would definitely not dare to intrude.
Sure enough, after hearing that Marvin was going to use the [September Medal], the three Punishment Knights immediately turned gloomy and left without saying a word.
They had no choice but to report the matter.
The three knights were all furious. They had thought it was a trivial matter, but they had not expected that this little noble would be so tough.
This was something they had not expected.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that this little nobleman is said to have suffered a lot in River Beach City and hates the law enforcement officers of River Beach City.
…
"Now that the mission has been completed, it's time for our team to leave."
Verne smiled at Anna with an unpleasant expression.
He didn't know whether the Twin-Knife Mask had realized that he was the one who tipped off, but staying in the castle for a long time was obviously not a good idea.
It’s better to go back to Riverside City as soon as possible.
"If the Double-Knife Mask really finds out..."
When Verne thought of this, he felt a chill down his spine. He saw clearly yesterday how Marvin fought against sixty gnolls and a gnoll warlock all by himself.
Although his team was well-equipped and powerful, compared with Marvin... it was simply not worth mentioning.
Of course, he never thought that Marvin was so powerful because of taking drugs. He thought Marvin was hiding his strength.
"Of course, you are welcome to visit Baihe Valley again next time."
Anna smiled faintly and let the Bobcat Squad go.
This is what Ma Wen meant. Although I don't know what Master Ma Wen is planning, I just do it.
Anyway, since that serious illness, Master Marvin seems to have never made any wrong decisions.
The mountain cat and his group left the castle.
As night fell, the castle seemed a little lonely and deserted. After all, apart from the guards, there were only a few people in the castle.
Most of the residents of the territory are still in the countryside. Tomorrow morning, Anna will send people to bring them back.
At that time, the reconstruction of the White River Valley will begin.
However, under the cover of night, in Marvin's study, Gru, the captain of the Thorn Squad, sat anxiously at his desk.
Marvin, who looked frail, pretended to be surprised: "Are you telling the truth? But Mr. Masked Swordsman, is he really gone?"
"He said the solution to your daughter's plague is in my study?"
Gru nodded heavily. He remembered clearly what the Masked Man said.
"Ah, then let me look around to see if there are any related records about [Black Sweet Poison]. Don't worry , your daughter still has some time to recover, and I hope I can find relevant books during this time."
"Thank you, Baron!"
Gru showed gratitude.
He left the room.
After a while, Anna came out from the side door and asked calmly, "Why didn't you save his daughter?"
Marvin smiled silently: "I will."
"But not now."
Of course not now. The black poison is a test by the God of Plague. If it is lifted too early, the God of Plague will target us.
Marvin is not afraid of gods, but he is not so stupid as to make enemies directly.
What's more, he has too many things to do now.
The first thing is the food issue.
