Lord Wizard

Chapter 4 Carroll City

Lightweight!

After the white fluorescent light permeated his body, Lin Meng's figure suddenly became incredibly light, and at the same time, his nerve reaction speed, which was far beyond its limit, also changed...

Without much thought, he immediately grabbed the arrow that had been shot to the ground with his left hand and hurled it at Churchill with all his might. With the added strength of 1.6, the power of this arrow was no less than that of an ordinary hard bow.

As he threw the arrow, he also swiftly dodged the middle-aged man's sword and charged towards Eileen with lightning speed.

Just as Churchill was about to press his advantage and kill Eileen, he heard a whooshing sound and had to step aside.

"call out!"

Lin Meng lunged forward with a sword thrust that followed closely behind.

"Yeah, you're asking for it!"

A fierce glint flashed in Churchill's eyes. Without turning his head, he continued to slash at Eileen with his greatsword while his left hand suddenly thrust out like a giant python, aiming to grab Lin Meng's head, seemingly intending to crush it with the strength of his five fingers.

"Commander, be careful, his speed is off..."

The middle-aged man was shocked to see Churchill so careless.

Before he could even utter the words "abnormal," Lin Meng spun around, his cheek almost touching Churchill's outstretched arm, while his sword flashed like lightning, tearing Churchill's throat apart.

The entire movement was fluid and seamless, completed in the instant the two intersected, and everything seemed so natural.

"Well……"

Blood gushed from Churchill's throat, and his face, filled with disbelief, slowly froze.

"Bang!"

Churchill collapsed, and Lin Meng also emerged from that calm state.

He committed murder.

Whether he mistook the middle-aged man for an NPC or for some other reason, he felt...

Surprisingly, I didn't feel much discomfort.

Eileen, on the other hand, opened her eyes wide...

Having been a newly appointed knight for less than three years, she was no match for Churchill's attacks and suffered repeated defeats. Just as she was about to fight to the death to hold him off, this mid-ranking knight, whom Baron Johnson regarded as his right-hand man, was killed by Lin Meng in the blink of an eye.

This performance was absolutely stunning!

The remaining two cadet knights, seeing Churchill dead, had no courage to confront Eileen, the knight.

"run!"

"I want to leave."

Eileen decisively chased after the cavalryman she had just fought, while Lin Meng regained his senses, his eyes gradually sharpening, and without hesitation chased after another one.

One has two.

As he exerted all his speed advantage, he quickly caught up with the remaining apprentice knight and pierced his neck with a lightning-fast sword strike.

At the same time, the cavalryman was also killed by Eileen's thunderous blow, falling into a pool of blood.

Are you alright?

Eileen walked over and looked at Lin Meng.

Lin Meng nodded weakly at her to indicate that he was alright.

Killing someone with his own hands, even in a game, the bloody scenes that were exactly the same as in the real world still made him feel nauseous.

That's so true.

"The speed at which you drew your sword just now..."

Eileen was somewhat puzzled.

"An explosive secret technique."

Lin Meng gave a brief explanation.

He glanced at the character template as he spoke.

Strength, physique, and spirit remained unchanged, but agility surged from 1.8 to 2.8, an increase of 1 point!

Is this the strengthening of the world's power?

I wonder what would happen if this kind of enhancement were implemented in the real world.

Lin Meng attributed the reason to a secret technique, and Eileen did not ask any further questions.

She had heard of secret techniques passed down in some ancient noble families, but she never expected...

Baron Bell also has this kind of heritage.

"You suddenly fainted this morning, and Churchill just happened to be chasing after us. I couldn't wake you up, so I had to take you away... Fortunately, you woke up at the crucial moment."

Eileen briefly recounted what had happened; their shared experience fighting side-by-side had softened her tone towards Lin Meng.

"Feel sorry."

Lin Meng nodded.

"Need not."

Eileen responded and went to collect the spoils of war from Churchill and the others.

Then they continued their journey to Carroll.

As darkness fell, the city of Carroll came into view.

Carroll is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The outer city has messy and irregular buildings, crowded streets, dirty ground, and litter everywhere, making it a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

But the inner city is completely different. The population of the inner city is not dense, and the buildings are mainly white, bright and clean. In the central square stands a huge white stone sculpture - a wizard holding a scepter, looking ahead with a solemn expression.

Behind the stone statue are rows of white obelisk-like buildings, which are important locations such as churches, town halls, and lord's mansions.

"Carol City is the territory of Earl Dawson. As one of the important cities on the border of Aden, Carol City has a population of 50,000. The city and some towns and villages outside the city constitute Earl Dawson's territory, with a total population of at least 100,000. There are even quite a few knights. Although Aden and our Frost are allies, as Frost people, we should keep a low profile here."

Seeing that Lin Meng's eyes were looking around as soon as he arrived in Carol City, Eileen gave him a reminder.

"Don't worry, I won't cause trouble."

Lin Mengdao.

After walking for about ten minutes through the inner city of Carroll, crossing the crossroads, and arriving at a street, you will see an old man with snow-white hair and wearing magnificent clothes, accompanied by a knight, a butler, and four servants.

Looking from afar, Lin Meng knew from Leylin's memory that the old man was his maternal grandfather, Viscount Krupp.

Out of his seriousness about the game, Lin Meng tried his best to immerse himself in Lei Lin's role, his voice heavy with grief: "Grandpa."

"Good child, I know about what happened to you. Let bygones be bygones."

Looking at his grandson, who shared the same pupils as him, Viscount Krupp offered a kind word of comfort.

Lin Meng's mother died early, so he didn't treat Baron Bell very well, but most old people are particularly fond of their children and grandchildren, and he was no exception.

As he led Lin Meng into the manor, he said to Eileen, "Sir Eileen, you must be tired from your journey. Make yourself at home here, don't feel uncomfortable."

"Excuse me, sir."

Eileen gave a slight bow.

Viscount Krupp's estate is very large, with a three-story white building facing the main gate. The landscaping inside is exquisite and orderly, clearly designed by a professional landscape architect. The ground is paved with smooth white flagstones, and the other paths are paved with pebbles for easy walking.

In the ornately decorated hall, Viscount Krupp was elegantly dining with Lin Meng, talking incessantly, while servants attended to them.

"A brave young man."

As Krupp listened to Lin Meng recount his experiences on the road, a hint of relief appeared on his face: "I never imagined you would make it through such a difficult journey. You even used the secret techniques you've mastered to kill a mid-level knight. Even though it was a surprise attack, I believe your mother and father would be proud of your growth based on this achievement."

"I still have a lot to learn so that I won't make the mistake of abandoning Thorntown and can take it back."

Lin Mengdao.

"Humility is a good thing."

Looking at Lin Meng's young yet resolute face, Krupp continued, "I don't object to your desire to retake Thorntown, but you should stay with your grandfather for the next few days to recover from your injuries. Once you're healed, I will have Knight Noah lead a team to assist you in taking back Thorntown."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

After chatting with Viscount Krupp for a while and asking him to search for some herbs, he returned to his room to rest.

He had already learned about Viscount Krupp's strength from Eileen when he arrived. He was an old nobleman with a wealth of experience and a foundation no less than that of a newly promoted count. It was said that he had more than a dozen knights serving under him. Staying with him was definitely safe, and there was no need to worry about being attacked suddenly again.
