As soon as the first Type 1 tank was completed, Victor was taken to the Baron's study by Christine, who had returned at an unknown time.
The two of them pushed open the door and walked in. The home mage saw the baron looking at the table in front of him, absentmindedly.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing his father-in-law¡¯s unusually irritable expression, with a hint of joy and a hint of surprise on his face, the black-robed mage couldn¡¯t help but walk over and asked in a low voice.
"See for yourself."
The Baron didn¡¯t seem to want to say anything more and directly pushed the files on the desktop to his son-in-law.
The home mage took it curiously, flipped through a few pages, and then understood what the baron was worried about.
With the chaos in the Winter Territory, the current Duke Flamingo, the nominal master of the Winter Territory, will naturally send his envoys to mediate disputes or subdue the chaos. This is what all the nobles in the Winter Territory around them want to do. The neighbors had expected something, so everyone took advantage of this chaotic time to make calculations in order to get enough benefits before the messenger arrived. This was one of the reasons why Viscount Ahana dared to ignore the established rules among nobles and attack the Swift family, who were also nobles, at will.
But just when the envoy sent by the Flamingo Archduke arrived at the Chaos Winter Territory and the nobles had divided up the Chaos Winter Territory, an unexpected surprise occurred.
A group of heavily armed thieves attacked the envoy of Archduke Flamingo in a mountain range that was about to enter the Winter Territory, leaving the noble who was expected by the Winter Territory nobles and who was said to be very famous in the principality to stay forever. There.
After learning about this incident, the Flamingo Archduke was naturally shocked.
It is unacceptable for any lord to kill the nobles he protects openly within his own sphere of influence.
Amid the worries and uneasiness of the nobles of the Luan Dong Territory and even the surrounding neighbors, the angry Archduke of the Flamingo directly sent his strongest Flame Bird Knights to prepare to station in the Luan Dong Territory to thoroughly investigate the matter.
This is definitely not good news for the Luandong nobles and even their neighbors.
If the Grand Duke just sends an envoy, they can naturally fool that envoy and then carve up everything worth dividing in the Luan Dong Territory. He was just an envoy with no foundation. It was easy for local snakes like them to deal with him. But the Grand Duke sent a knight group to have the ability to control the Chaos Winter Leader. How can you make them happy by pulling out the benefits they just swallowed?
As for the noble envoy who was killed? These nobles who are proficient in all kinds of thick black knowledge have already seen it clearly.
The Grand Duke obviously wanted to get involved in the affairs of the Chaos Dong Territory, so he came up with such an excuse. I am afraid that the poor noble had been abandoned by the Grand Duke long ago.
After looking at it, Master Zhai raised his head strangely.
"Uncle. What does this have to do with us?"
No matter who will lead the chaos in the future. It really doesn't have much impact on small nobles like them.
¡°Well, another thing I¡¯m worried about.¡±
Hearing this question, the Baron stood up and turned the document in someone's hand to one of the pages.
"This person is leading the team this time. He has some connections with Viscount Ahana. I'm afraid he will take the opportunity to cause trouble. No matter what, if the Archduke's envoy is killed, there will always be a scapegoat."
The house mage lowered his head again and saw the information of an eighth-level knight named Wellington.
"Uncle. I think this is completely unfounded."
After reading it, the black-robed mage closed the document in his hand and comforted the Baron in a low voice. It's just a relative who is crippled. I believe that if he is a little smarter, he will not take the risk of offending a legendary mage and a mysterious mage and go to Akihabara for surgery on a distant relative.
"Those guys are not easy to deal with. They were tricked this time for no reason"
The Baron¡¯s expression remained the same.
The Grand Duke obviously wanted to teach these remote nobles a lesson through the affairs of the Luan Dong Territory, so as to strengthen their control over this land.
Naturally, these nobles who are accustomed to being the local emperor will not sit still and wait for death, although they cannot openly resist the Grand Duke. But you can stir up trouble in private. For example, taking the opportunity to provoke a conflict between the Bird Knights and a certain mysterious mage, on the one hand, you can test the strength of Akihabara, and on the other hand, you can add some obstacles to the Grand Duke and let the Grand Duke know that this is not a place that can be manipulated at will. . After all, there is something about a mysterious mage behind Akihabara. It is only spread within the scope of Chaosdong Territory.
"That's what I'm worried about."
After saying that, the Baron raised his head and looked at his son-in-law expectantly.
Facing the system??'s enemies are inherently contradictory. But the nobles who have already received their own benefits will definitely unite together.
For certain news circulating in a small area, they will definitely block it tacitly. As for Lord Baron personally revealing it? That's just a joke. No big noble would believe what a little country noble revealed when they met for the first time. What's more, this situation looks like a small aristocrat who doesn't know how high the sky is and how high he is, trying to seduce other big aristocrats. Thank God if it doesn't have any counter-effects.
"Well, maybe we can use Gavin's connections."
After a moment of silence, Victor muttered thoughtfully.
The only one who can come into contact with the leader of the Flame Bird Knights and can be trusted by him is probably the extremely high-status Flame Master.
"Maybe."
Hearing this, Lord Baron looked a little more relaxed.
After that, he waved his hand, indicating that his son-in-law and daughter could leave and go about their respective affairs.
As for how to deal with this matter? They could only resort to tricks. Akihabara's status was so low that they hadn't even established a basic circle, so they could only deal with it passively.
"Goodbye, uncle."
"Goodbye, Dad."
¡¡
As soon as Victor left the study, he was inexplicably stopped by Christine.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this girl who had always been at odds with him stop him, the Zhai Mage's face was full of surprise.
"I want to ask, what exactly did you do to those toothed horses?"
The girl asked lightly.
Since the black-robed mage left, the toothed horses he transformed have not stopped changing, but have gradually become stronger as time goes by. Now, the best of them have caught up with the wildebeest. This is definitely good news for those knights who own modified toothed horses and even Akihabara. Because the stronger the horse, it means that the knights can sprint faster and last longer on the battlefield, which greatly increases the knights' combat effectiveness.
The only pity is. Those toothed horses cannot be copied at all.
Until now, they still maintain a number of about three hundred, which makes the leader of the knights very irritated, so she will take this opportunity to ask questions to her brother-in-law.
"Do you think I will tell you?"
Looking at the blond girl with a serious face. Victor asked teasingly.
The girl is a fair and good knight. But he is not a good nobleman who is good at handling complex relationships and is full of scheming. He is not only for the bright future of Akihabara, but also for some bad taste in his heart. A mischievous idea suddenly appeared in Master Zhai's mind. Of course, the next thing needs the girl's cooperation. If the girl is willing, he will not mind making more adjustments in his future life and training the blond girl in front of him.
"Say your conditions."
It seems that the reaction of the black-robed mage has been anticipated. The blonde knight asked in a calm tone.
The relationship between the two was not good to begin with, and had always been at a slightly stronger level than strangers. When she thought of getting something from someone, she would naturally have to pay a sufficient price.
"Any conditions?"
Master Zhai confirmed, and at the same time the vague idea in his heart became clear.
"Conditions that do not violate the principles of chivalry."
The blonde knight's tone became a little colder, and she seemed to think of something bad.
"Okay, if you put on a maid outfit tonight and help me prepare an exquisite dinner, I will happily answer your questions."
Victor was afraid that the girl would misunderstand something. It would cause unnecessary trouble, so he stated the conditions directly.
"Is this it?"
After listening, the girl paused and then confirmed.
"Uh-huh."
The Master Zhai nodded.
Thinking about being served dinner by a beautiful girl dressed in a maid outfit is an exciting thing for an otaku.
"Okay. I will go, I hope you can keep your promise."
She felt that this was not an unbearable condition, so the girl agreed in a calm tone. As for whether she will be deceived, I believe that as long as the knight's sword in her hand is still sharp. She will ensure that things are fair and just. Cut off all darkness and injustice.
"Then, farewell."
After saying that, the girl turned around and left.
"Farewell."
The otaku mage also turned around and faced the opposite direction to the girl.Go.
Type 1 tanks still need to be tested in the field to ensure that nothing serious goes wrong. There is still some time before dinner starts, and he naturally doesn't want to waste it.
¡¡
"Victor."
On the road leading to the underground chamber, Victor was blocked by the red-robed mage Gawain.
"I have something to be busy with now. We will be there in the evening"
Master Zhai explained, and then prepared to pass over the red-robed Master and continue to do his own business.
"Victor, I'm afraid I can't wait until night. I'm here to say goodbye to you now."
Gawain grabbed him again and gave him a wry smile.
"Well¡¡"
Hearing this, the black-robed mage became surprised.
"What's wrong?"
"Some damn villain said bad things about me in front of grandpa, so grandpa told me to go back quickly, so I can only"
The red-robed mage gritted his teeth and explained. To be honest, he didn't want to leave here at all, but his grandfather had the same irritable character as him. If he went back a little later, he couldn't guarantee that his grandfather would do something irreversible.
"Well, my friend, be careful on the road."
After hearing this, Victor patted the red-robed mage on the shoulder and said goodbye, but he felt a little more understanding in his heart.
