Pioneer Wizard's Notebook

Chapter 81 Hyacinth Ring

According to Baron Falco's plan, this project, called "Purge," was to be carried out in three steps.

The first step was for the barons to send out extraordinary knights to infiltrate Windcliff City in advance.

During this period, Fengya City will be holding a winter solstice celebration.

Jason attempted to use this opportunity to establish his legitimacy and announce his viscount status to the city's residents at the celebration.

This is a crisis for the barons, but also an opportunity.

The celebration requires the procurement of a large amount of supplies from outside sources, including cannons, food, flowers, fabrics, and so on.

Jason is preparing to hold a grand event, as the influx of caravans and travelers will overwhelm the city gate checkpoints, making them incredibly easy to navigate.

Taking this opportunity, the barons' knights will enter Windcliff City with the help of Baron Oliveira, the leader of the opposition and a great merchant.

After entering the city, the knights went into hiding.

Wait until the day the winter solstice celebrations officially begin.

The second step of the plan, "sabotage," will be initiated.

During the celebration, a procession of city residents in a radiant procession will circle Windcliff City.

A large crowd then gathered at Dragon Shadow Square, a mixed bag of people.

Jason will also appear in the center of the crowd at this moment.

At this point, the knights need to go and destroy the landmark building of Windcliff City—the Radiant Prison.

Destroy the eternally shining sun disk above the prison and release the prisoners inside.

The extinguishing of the Sun Disk will lure the Knights of Light away.

The opposition took the opportunity to create chaos in the square, while simultaneously tying down Jason's soldiers and the Sky Church.

The plan now enters its third and final step: "rectification".

The Shadow Order assassins, these killers lurking in the shadows, appeared and slit Jason's neck.

Cut off the head of this usurper in front of everyone.

The king lost a pawn that could interfere with the power in the north.

The barons escorted Miss Tinia, the last heir of Hyacinthus, into the city.

While elevating the young woman to the rank of viscount, they also shared in the spoils of Windcliff City.

Everything sounded so wonderful.

There was no doubt that the barons were impressed by Baron Falco's plan.

Sending out extraordinary riders is risky, but the rich rewards make it worth the risk.

Moreover, if they continue to sit idly by, Jason will become a major threat to them.

Baron Falco rose to his feet and clenched his fist, striking his chest.

"Now that you have all agreed, I hereby declare the 'Purge' plan officially underway! In the name of the Northern Watchers, we swear to defend the honor of the North to the death!"

Lind and the other barons followed suit, rising to their feet: "For the glory of the North!"

The military conference has now concluded.

The plan was rushed, and the group did not linger at the castle, quickly leaving.

Lind was no exception; his expression turned serious as he left Blackrock Castle.

The "purification" plan sounds simple.

It's nothing more than infiltrating, creating chaos, and then assassinating the target.

However, Windcliff City is a powerful force with too many variables, which Baron Falco did not explicitly state.

What is the security like at Glorious Prison? What kind of people are imprisoned inside?

Even if the Radiant Knights are lured away, Jason still has knights sent by the king and bishops from the Sky Church by his side.

How can the assassin bypass these powerful figures and kill Jason?

Opposition soldiers are creating chaos to celebrate in crowded conditions; how many people will die then?

"Information about Windcliff City is severely lacking, so for now we can only proceed according to Baron Falco's plan. Let's hope everything goes smoothly."

Lind pressed his temples, left the castle, and headed towards one of the manors in the city.

Unlike other barons, he had another meeting here after the military conference.

Liz, the red-haired knight who is the guardian knight of Tinia, is waiting outside the manor.

Upon seeing Lind's arrival, Liz recalled the rumors about the sunflowers that had been circulating recently, and couldn't help but admire the young lady's excellent judgment. She greeted her respectfully.

"Please come with me, the young lady is waiting for you."

Linde followed her and entered the inner garden.

Despite the heavy snow of winter, the garden is now filled with all sorts of brightly colored flowers.

Yellow sunflowers, purple hyacinths, blue-purple bluebells, and white edelweiss.

Flowers are in full bloom, filling the air with their rich fragrance.

In the heart of the flower field, a beautiful girl with long violet hair lifted her skirt and greeted him with a warm smile, "Brother Linde, it's so nice to see you again! It's been three months since we last met, and rumors about Brother Linde, the Sun Knight, have been circulating throughout Blackrock City!"

Tinia's tone was filled with a girlish, dreamy admiration.

Linde knew that there was a lot of acting involved.

But thanks to Tinia's stunning beauty, the performance wasn't off-putting; it was like a cup of warm tea on a winter's day, soothing and comforting.

"Miss Giantinia, it makes me so glad to see you in good health."

Lind sat down opposite her, enjoying the sugar cookies that Tinia had baked herself, and chatted with her about the latest rumors in the North.

After sensing Lind's friendly attitude, Tinia gradually relaxed.

After chatting for a while, she brought up the military meeting she had just attended.

"Will Brother Linde also go to Windcliff City?"

Linde nodded: "The 'Purge' plan is of paramount importance and will directly affect the future situation in Bordeaux County. I will go there personally."

He is the only extraordinary knight in the Flowery Territory, that's one point.

More importantly, there are many things in Windcliff City that Lind is interested in.

We must bring back Wynne's daughter, Lilina, and the Sun Disc from Radiant Prison is an even better find.

It would be a waste to use such a treasure as a large night light in Wind Cliff City; it would be better to use it to truly shine in the Sunflower.

Tinia's gaze was fixed on Lind's face, as if she were making an important decision.

She took out a gemstone ring with a hyacinth pattern from her bosom.

Lin Deyi looked over and asked, "What's this?"

"This is the symbol of the hyacinth family, representing the legitimacy of Hyacinthus."

Tinia smiled and raised her fair hand, revealing an identical ring on the index finger of her right hand.

"Camilla, the warden of Radiant Prison and also the vice-commander of the Knights of Radiance, has always been my father's strong right-hand woman."

"Camilla will not side with a scoundrel like Jason. It's just that Jason claims the Hyacinth family line has died out and that I'm an imposter put forward by the barons."

"Camilla is unaware of my true situation, which is why she maintains her current neutral stance."

Linde understood what she meant: "If that's the case, this ring should be able to change the vice commander's mind."

Tinia nodded: "That's right."

With that, the young woman took a deep breath, bravely stepped forward, and placed the ring in Lind's hand.

"I hope you return safely; I will be here waiting for your good news."

Linde was well aware of the symbolism of the ring, so he did not refuse and smiled as he took it.

"Don't worry, Fengya City will soon return to its rightful place."
