    The warm spring breeze blew across the lake, causing ripples.  Groups of wild ducks play happily in the lake, and the scales on the back of the carp's fins that jump out of the water reflect a little silver light in the sun, making it look like an oil painting full of natural wildness.  However, the slightly gloomy black castle not far from the lake seemed somewhat inharmonious in contrast to such a bright scene.

    The main body of the castle is square in shape, and the outer walls are made of black-gray basalt. It is solemn, solemn, and terrifying.  At first glance, whether it is the old-fashioned architectural style or the wind-eroded outer wall of the city wall, it can undoubtedly reflect its long history.

    Black Rock Castle, a war-type fortress built under the personal supervision of the founder of the Grabo family.

    For hundreds of years, generations of Grabo have been repairing and improving the castle's defense system. As a result, it has resisted attacks from foreign enemies countless times and remains standing.  Not long ago, the soldiers of the family used the defense of Black Rock Castle to successfully resist the attack from the Grabo family's biggest mortal enemy in the life of the current head of the family - Baron Wamborn, led by many of his knights.  The people of the Grabo family believe in their hearts that as long as this black castle still stands, it means that the family's flying flag will not fall.

    But right now, the atmosphere in this majestic castle seems to be unusually depressing.

    The owner of the castle, the old Baron Grabeau, was pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.  In just over half a year since the defeat in the Battle of Fort Fubo, his hair has almost all turned gray, and his brows have been covered with wrinkles unconsciously, making him look much older all of a sudden.  Although everyone under his command saw it.  But he didn't dare to say a word, for fear that an old baron would be angered and lose his life inexplicably.

    Old Baron Grabeau glanced at the half-open door not far away from time to time, and his breathing was a little rapid.  The hands that once effortlessly wielded the sword to kill the enemy began to tremble slightly, and there was a hint of anxiety in his expression that was difficult to conceal.

    Rapid footsteps came from outside the door. After being refracted many times by the stone walls of the corridor and passage, it seemed particularly harsh.

    Old Baron Grabeau stopped, turned and looked at the door, clenching his fists, and there was a trace of expectation on his face that even he himself was not aware of.

    His trusted lieutenant Joseph slipped into the hall through the half-covered gap and walked towards him a few steps faster.

    "How are things going?" Old Grabo asked eagerly without waiting for his adjutant to stand still.  "Does Lord Kaliman agree to our request?"

    However, what disappointed the old baron was that at the moment he asked the question, he had already seen the answer on his adjutant's face.

    That was not the answer he expected.

    "How could this happen?" The unexpected progress of the plan made the old Baron Grabeau look a little annoyed. He waved his hands excitedly and roared, "Aren't the conditions I proposed humble enough, not humiliating enough, and not enough to show my sincerity?  Your Excellency has already helped us once, can't you do the same thing again this time? Joseph! Hehow did he reply to you? "

    Joseph glanced at his master uneasily, not knowing how to speak.  he knows.  The next explanation will only make the old man opposite even more angry.  However, he could not remain silent.  If possible, our unfortunate lieutenant really wished that someone else was standing here instead of himself.

    "Sir, you know that the territory of the boy who practices magic was obtained from Baron Wamborn. But this time, the Baron seems not to be aware of it. It is purely his personal behavior."  Joseph weaved the words as he thought.  He slowly explained.  "What the Earl means is that his vassal Baron Wamborn has not violated the request made during the last mediation. According to the kingdom's enfeoffment law, he does not have the right to force the magician boy to give up his intention to declare war because the other party is attacking  Under the banner of revenge and dignity, it is morally sound. The other families probably didn¡¯t want to offend a magician, so they didn¡¯t raise any objections"

    "I know this kind of thing very well! That's why I asked you to bring a letter written by me to the Earl, and that's why I made so many concessions." Old Grabo interrupted the adjutant impatiently, "My lord  Didn¡¯t you read the letter? Logically speaking, he shouldn¡¯t disagree, that would only be good for him.¡±

    "As you expected, after reading your handwritten letter, the earl did express his willingness to provide help and exert some influence. But" Joseph replied numbly, "before he really  So do it, the situation has changed"

    "What happened?" Old Grabo suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.  He tried his best to suppress this emotion,?I asked as calmly as possible.

    "That magician named Sebastian boy he he" Joseph hesitated for a while, and finally his heart came to his mind, and he quickly told the whole story, "He invented a new magic  ! When I heard about the verification meeting, it was the Master Antonio who came forward in person to confirm the effect of the magic. Then, the Master Tower announced on the spot that the boy had the exclusive patent rights for twenty years. In this paragraph  During that time, any magician who wanted to learn that magic had to pay him a large sum of money. Now, the entire upper class society in Solons City calls him the 'Future Magician'."

    "Howhow could this happen" Old Grabo could hardly believe his ears. His body staggered, his right arm supported the coffee table beside him, and he couldn't help murmuring, "This is impossiblethis  impossible¡­¡­"

    "When I met the Earl later, his attitude was different He even told me euphemistically that you can take your family and move to Solens City, and he can guarantee your safety." Joseph said bitterly  He said, "Sir, I'm afraid we were given up by the count"

    "My Grabo family has served the Kaliman family loyally for generations In the end, we are going to be treated like this No no no! I will never accept it!" Old Grabo suddenly turned over the hand on his hand.  He stood on the coffee table and roared with a ferocious face, "You want me to give up the territory that my Grabo family has guarded for generations? Yes! Then step over my corpse and get it!"

    Joseph frowned, not knowing how to speak.

    At this moment, a arrogant voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

    "In that case, let me help you, Mr. Baron."
