Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 104 Erza

"The one who accepted the mission is Lady Elsa, the lord of Ryan City," Ward said in a low voice after glancing around.

"The city lord?" Herag never expected that it was actually the city lord of Ryan City who had accepted his mission.

Lord Herag of Elsa had long heard of her; ever since arriving in Ryan City, he had been hearing news about her constantly.

Erza was born into a noble family; her father was the famous Duke Barton of the Kingdom of Doris.

Eight years ago, Erza married the lord of Ryan City, which was originally a marriage between two powerful forces.

Unexpectedly, just one month after the wedding, the lord of Ryan City fell seriously ill and died.

It is said that a legendary mystic was invited at the time, but he was unable to cure the city lord's illness and could only watch him die.

After that, Duke Barton used his connections and resources to make Erza the lord of Ryan City, a position she holds to this day.

Because of its dramatic nature, this event became a topic of conversation among the residents of Ryan City and many people throughout the Kingdom of Doris.

Such discussions are less common in Ryan City. Anyone who dares to criticize the city lord will be executed if the city lord's mansion finds out.

At the time, many people believed that this marriage was a conspiracy, a scheme orchestrated by the Duke of Barton to seize Ryan.

At the time, the city lord of Ryan City was in his prime and in good health. Suddenly, he fell seriously ill. No one would believe there wasn't something fishy going on.

Some people believe that the Lord of Ryan City's serious illness may be due to Lady Elsa being too tempting and lacking self-control.

When Erza first became the lord of Ryan City, she faced many obstacles, including opposition from many of the former lord's loyal followers.

However, Duke Barton was no pushover; he quickly purged these opposing forces, helping Erza to smoothly take over Ryan City.

For the past eight years, key positions in the city lord's mansion have been filled by Erza's own people, giving her complete control of Ryan City.

She wielded absolute power in Ryan City, wielding immense influence.

"Why would someone like that accept my mission?" Herag wondered.

Ward saw his expression and said in a low voice, "I don't know the specifics either, but Lord Elsa definitely has the information you need. I can't get her to come see you, so you'll have to go see her yourself."

Ward gave a helpless look, indicating that he was powerless to help.

Hrag nodded and said, "I understand."

"Ed! To the city lord's mansion!" he called to Ed in the courtyard.

Ed quickly led the horse out and then harnessed it to the carriage.

After completing his notification task, Ward left.

The City Lord's Mansion is located at the northernmost part of Ryan City. Although it is called the City Lord's Mansion, it is actually a castle.

The high city walls blocked the world's prying eyes, and fully armed soldiers stood on and outside the walls, displaying the power of the people who lived here.

Hrag's carriage was stopped a hundred meters from the high wall. Three soldiers stood outside the carriage with weapons: "Stop the carriage. What is your purpose here?"

"My name is Geraint. I have some business with Lord Erza. Please inform her." Herag lifted the carriage curtain, subtly revealing his imposing presence.

These soldiers had been on the battlefield many times, and they quickly sensed that the person in front of them was extraordinary.

Especially when Hrag lifted the curtain, an immense pressure was applied to them, making them feel as if they were about to suffocate.

Fortunately, Hellagur quickly withdrew his spreading magic, which relieved the soldiers somewhat.

Seeing that Helag had no intention of forcing his way in, one of the soldiers quickly ran back to the city lord's mansion to report the news.

The remaining two soldiers still held their weapons at Hrag, even though they knew they were no match for him, but it was their basic duty.

Soon, the soldier ran back: "Mr. Geraint, you can go in now."

Herag jumped off the carriage and followed the soldier into the city lord's mansion, while Ed stayed behind to wait for him to come out.

As soon as he entered the city lord's mansion, Herag felt as if he had entered a garden.

The city lord's mansion is filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, and there are many fountains. There is also a water channel winding through the garden, and the sound of flowing water is very soothing.

The soldiers led Helag through two palaces to a place that resembled a residence.

A long staircase led to the house, and a man in his forties stood at the top of it, staring coldly at Herag.

"Mr. Geraint, please go up. Knight Commander Levan will take you to see the city lord." After leading the way here, the soldier returned the way he came.

As Herag stepped onto the stairs, looking at the Knight Commander Levan at the top, he thought to himself, "Another great knight."

He climbed the steps one by one, with Lewandowski watching him intently the entire time.

After Hrag walked up, Lewandowski said, "Come with me."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked ahead, seemingly unwilling to talk to Heragdot.

Herag sensed a hostility, a strong sense of wariness, and a hint of disdain from him.

He didn't understand what he had done to provoke Lewandowski, since it was their first time meeting.

Lewandowski led Hrag through a maze of twists and turns until they finally arrived at a large gate.

He bowed his head and reported, "Lord City Lord, Geraint has arrived."

"Okay, let him in." A clear and pleasant voice came from behind the door, which was very soothing to hear.

"Yes." Lewandowski gently pushed open the door, then turned and stood by the door without glancing inside.

Helag glanced at him, then went inside, and Lewandowski immediately pulled him aside and closed the door.

When Helag entered, the first thing he saw was the luxurious decorations and various expensive furniture.

Each of these chairs is made of extremely precious wood, and a single chair can cost tens of thousands of gold coins.

He then turned his head and looked at the far right of the room, where there was a bed.

A woman was lying on the bed, propping her head up with her hand. There was a plate of fruit in front of her, and she was eating grapes.

"Lord Erza?" Herag said.

Erza was dressed casually in a loose nightgown that was low in the front, revealing large expanses of her snow-white skin.

She appeared to be not wearing pants, but was simply draped in a long bathrobe.

A pair of long, fair legs peeked out from under the bathrobe.

She was barefoot, without shoes or socks, her delicate, fair toes clearly visible.

Erza picked up a grape and swallowed it, then said, "It is I, the esteemed Mr. Herag."

"You know me?" Herag became wary when she directly called out his name.

Erza smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I have no hostility. I'm also a wizarding apprentice. It's just that I don't have much talent. Uncle Dino has thought of many ways for me, but I'm still a first-class wizarding apprentice."
