dark witches rise

Chapter 166 Meeting Hader again, the secret of the earl family

Roya walked on a dirt road in the lush woods.

The closer you get to Tallinn Empire, the taller and more lush the trees become, as if you are walking in an ancient forest.

As long as no one travels on the road for a month, it will be covered by forest erosion, overgrown with weeds and small trees, and it will no longer look like it once did.

Roja carried a package on his back and a big sword on his waist, walking slowly and slowly.

Holding the unknown wild fruit that I just picked from the roadside in my hand, I took a bite, and the juice overflowed, and the sweetness filled my entire mouth.

Luo Ya was not in a hurry. After practicing hard for so long, it was time to relax.

He enjoyed this leisurely feeling.

Unfortunately, the pleasant silence was soon broken.

The branches around Roja swayed, and several men with evil intentions in their hands rushed out of the forest and surrounded Roja.

"Boy, take out everything you have on you!"

"After I became the Earl of Hejian, I looked through the books collected by the Bumons family. Unfortunately, many of the books were lost. There are no books related to wizards at all."

"Lord Roja, since you have come out of the Forest of Knights' Steles, do you think you have become a Holy Knight?" Hader asked.

"So many things have happened in the Hejian area, there must be a lot to do, right? I think you seem to be quite leisurely?" Roja asked.

"Lord Roja, there is one of my wineries not far ahead. If you don't mind, you can go to the winery for a drink," Harder said.

Without the strength of a knight, the most you can do is use money to buy an honorary knighthood that cannot be hereditary and has no territory.

In a plague, it is normal for civilians to die and whole families to die. A noble? Or an earl? An earl family that has two official wizards in its ancestors?

It can only be someone who kills me!

It doesn’t take much to figure out that that person is the Mandolin Wizard!

So back to the original question, why do so many mandolin wizards dare to do this?

In front of a long table that can accommodate more than ten people at the same time, Roya and Harder sat face to face. There were only two of them in the entire vast hall, not even a servant.

And want to obtain the title of earl.

"As far as I know, the only one that has something to do with wizards is probably the Beaumons Winery."

Buzz buzz——

"Can you wait a moment before taking action?" Roja said.

But he had never heard of Hud Boommons before.

"That's right."

"Is that the escort he brought?"

Many nobles have a bunch of mistresses and a bunch of illegitimate children. There is no need to understand the illegitimate children born by these mistresses who have no inheritance rights.

Then it can only be the mistress who gave birth to an illegitimate child.

"...That's it." No need to continue, Roja already guessed what happened.

Listening to the sound of horse hooves, the robbers' spirits suddenly became tense.

Hader jumped off the horse and knelt down in front of Roja.

"Paladin? Alas, I used to just want to be an ordinary knight. When my strength reached the limit of a great knight, I would go to the Knights Stele Forest to try my luck..." Harder looked gloomy, "This is fate."

Roja's words are equivalent to asking, as an earl family, how can you be so miserable?

If you don’t have wizard props, can wizard knowledge be enough?

Under Roja's gaze, Hader frowned, "As the illegitimate son of his mistress, I have never been exposed to things and knowledge related to wizards since I was a child."

Roja has already imagined a story about the illegitimate daughter's counterattack in his mind.

Having become the earl that countless people dreamed of, Harder was not happy at all.

"Okay." Roja nodded in agreement.

"After I became the Earl of Hejian, I read those secret scrolls that only the Earl of Hejian was qualified to read... In fact, the Mandolin Wizard was once the illegitimate daughter of the then head of our Bumons family." Harder said in a low voice.

.

After not seeing each other for a year, Harder has become much older than the last time we met. He is obviously only in his early thirties, but he looks the same as he is in his fifties.

"He looks like a noble young master, shall we take him back?"

"I didn't expect to meet a fat sheep?"

Call——

And as far as Roja knew, there were two official wizards in the history of the Bumons family.

If you include the Mandolin Wizard, then the Bumons family has actually produced three official wizards?

"I wonder if the Bumons family has anything related to wizards left?" Roja asked.

What is the background of the Earl of the River Bummons family? What about his connections?

Roja was very puzzled, and he expected Hader to answer it for him.

In this world where the strong are respected, who doesn’t need strong strength to obtain a title?

It's unlikely to be fake.

Harder took a sip of wine and said, "And I have passed the title of earl to my son. I am just a knight now."

A group of ten cavalrymen stopped beside Roja, and the man at the head was the Earl of the River, Harder Bummons.

Several oscillations of power shot out from the roar of the Holy Sword Lion's Heart on his waist, targeting each of Roja's robbers with precision.

The first generation was either a high knight, or had a relationship with a viscount count, such as marrying the viscount's daughter.

"He has a partner?"

In the winery.

"I guess the young master disliked the guard being in the way, so he ditched the guard and ran to the front to play, right?"

Roja nodded while eating.

As an earl family that has produced three formal wizards, the Boumons family has declined due to the revenge of the mandolin wizard. It has not produced even one wizard apprentice in three hundred years, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse.

, maybe there are still some wizard items in the collection?

In an instant, the robbers were like balloons filled with water that had been punctured by a needle, turning into a puddle of meat sauce and exploding, leaving no pieces larger than a soybean.

Especially the internal knowledge of Shenglan Kingdom.

Crackling——

Looking at the sharp sword pointed at him, Roja raised his hands.

With the inheritance and connections of two official wizards, no matter how evil the Mandolin Wizard does, he would not dare to directly kill the Bumons family until there are only three or two big cats and kittens left?

Roja doesn't know much about the wizarding world, and he can't compare with those from wizarding families, but for ordinary knowledge that doesn't involve wizards, he can be said to be at the level of a great doctor. There are not many people in the entire Six Kingdoms who can compare with him.

Listening to these words and looking at the other party's actions, Roja shook his head slightly with regret.

Hader stepped on the floor under his feet, "Thousands of years ago, when the Boumons family was still a baron, this was the location of the Baron Castle of the Bumons family."

After killing the robber, more than ten seconds passed.

When the bandits were confused, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from a distance.

Roja knew who the Earl of Hejian was, his wife, his children, etc.

"Catch him before the guards arrive!"

Either they have produced formal wizards, or they can continue to train wizard apprentices and make great contributions to the empire.

Roja was willing to stop heading to the Roots of the Earth to drink and chat with Hard, a stranger he had only met once, because he took a fancy to the identity of the Earl of Hejian.

"Knight Harder, as a count family, your Bumons family should have produced many wizards, right?" Roja asked tactfully.

However, Hader can actually take the position of Earl of Hejian, which means that almost all the people with inheritance rights above him are dead, and those who are not dead dare not inherit the title of Earl of Hejian.

If you want to become a baron, the barons behind you can be weaker and have the strength of a knight.

There may be only two possibilities. One, Hard is a fake. Two, Hard is an unrecognized illegitimate son born to his mistress.

"The plague killed a lot of people. After the plague ended, a lot of survivors fled. Now there are only tens of thousands of people left in the entire river area. The number of residents in the territory is not even that of the viscounty territory. How can we not be leisurely?"

"Although he later became a viscount and an earl, this place is still of great significance to the Boumons family, and there is a huge space underneath the winery."

"I've been exploring there for many days, but unfortunately I haven't found anything."

These words made Roja's eyes light up, "Take me to have a look!"

The reason why Hader brought Roja here was for this purpose, so after Roja made this request, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
