I really don't want to cross

Chapter 400 Beginning (Two in One)

Night is often in a state of solitude and silence.

But the city of Rasmez tonight is not so peaceful. This tranquility refers not only to the Mirod's house, but also to other noble mansions in the same city. .

And the direction that all this is sent to is an uninhabited suburb far away from Merode's house. When you walk around the dense forest, you can faintly see a faint fire shining in it. When you get closer, you will find... a whole tree in the center A vacant lot was cleared.

There are tents standing here, and it looks like there are about thirty or forty tents.

And in the tent in the center sat a middle-aged man, who was the third son Pat who was escorted out of Midlo's house by his subordinates.

At this moment, his indifferent cheeks were full of eagerness to try.

"Next, the real game begins."

The sudden death of the old Patriarch broke the original silence, and made the eldest young master Versan, who always thought that he was a certainty to become the Patriarch, panic, but he did not expect that his brothers dared to resist Lord Roswaal's choice.

So after the brothers quietly left Milode's house along the pre-arranged route, the young master who was dreaming of being the head of the family was still kept in the dark.

"Master Pat, it has been found."

A heavily armed man directly opened the tent and walked in, nodded slightly and said: "According to our investigation, two hours ago, your fourth brother left Miluo with dozens of unidentified servants." De Mansion, as for where he went, I haven't found out yet."

Pat frowned when he heard the words, not because of the unreasonable behavior of the people in front of him who came in without even saying hello. After all, only a small part of the people around him were the forces he cultivated, and the rest were based on the premise that he became the head of the family. The temporary combat power obtained in exchange for various benefits naturally does not respect him that much.

Or……

This only respect is also due to Lord Roswaal's recognition of him. Without this recognition, these noble families would not have dared to intervene in the civil war of the Milode family.

Closer to home,
The reason why Pat frowned was... Wei Hailuo's sudden departure was completely beyond his expectation; if the normal development was followed, the first battle should be the battle between his mindless fourth brother and that ridiculous big brother.

Although Wei Hailuo thought he was hiding it well, but forty or fifty unknown and powerful servants suddenly entered the mansion, and it was easy to find out just by checking.

But he never thought that Wei Hailuo would leave so early

"It's no secret that your eldest brother's power in your mansion belongs to you."

The big man sneered: "Although after your father died, your elder brother dispatched all the guards and put them on alert, but according to my understanding, the total number of guards is only more than 100 people, mages and knights Half and half."

Pat nodded when he heard the words: "If you attack by force, how long will it take?"

"Can't attack by force!"

Pat was taken aback by the big man's words. You must know that with the nobles he united with and his own power, he now has more than 50 high-ranking mages and knights in charge, and nearly 200 weaker mages and knights. Could it be that the huge team can't break through the Milod's mansion?
"It's not because of manpower!"

The big man shook his head, with a flash of disdain in his eyes, and said coldly: "As far as I know, there are no less than ten magic stone cannons in your mansion. If we launch a strong attack, it will be very bad for us as the attacker. Unless we Also pull the Magic Stone Cannon within range, but your big brother probably won’t allow us to pull it over, and if that happens...Mirod’s mansion will also be destroyed.”

Magic Stone Cannon.

As the name suggests, this is a cannon powered by magic stones. After being loaded with magic stones of various attributes, it will be converted into corresponding magic attributes at the moment of detonation, tearing everything in the explosion range.

However, due to the inconvenient movement of this kind of cannon, it is mostly used in large-scale battles or in crusades against huge monsters. That's why the big man said that he could not storm the Milod's mansion.

"But if we don't break into Merode's mansion, after the succession ceremony tomorrow morning, it will be too late when Versan becomes the head of the family under the witness of that man named Wood." Parker's indifferent face looked a little impatient: "I can't be the head of the family, for you..."

"Of course I want to kill your big brother!"

The big man smiled slightly: "The reserve of magic stones in your mansion is not sufficient, we just need to find a way to consume them, but we should not do it yet."

"why?"

"The whereabouts of your fourth brother have not been found out, and your second brother disappeared at some point, and no one even knows how he left, but I can be sure that Mi Luo, who is now on the bright side De Mansion must be under surveillance."

"So we can't do anything until we have found out everything, and...it doesn't take long for someone to attack the mansion first."

Pat nodded when he heard the words, and he also understood that he was a little anxious.

But it's not his fault. He has been waiting for this day for an unknown amount of time. Pat let out a breath, relieved the excitement in his heart, and showed a sneer on his face.

"That's right!"

"The night is still very long."

Boom--!
There was a deafening explosion, and along with the shaking of the ground, a shrill scream came to Pat's ears.

"what happened?"

Pat's wrinkled face turned pale, and through the open tent, he could vaguely see the thick smoke rising into the sky outside.

The big man's expression changed, he was the first to rush out of the tent, and his pupils shrank when he saw the scene before him.

"Magic stone cannon, it is magic stone cannon..."

"Scatter! Everyone disperses in all directions immediately."

In the blink of an eye, the previously peaceful camp was completely thrown into chaos.

……

Milode Mansion.

Pei Lisha stood in the courtyard at the corner of the mansion, looking at the flames rising in the southeast, a strange color flashed in her big eyes, and she subconsciously turned around and glanced at the room behind her.

And in that room, Wood lay lazily on one side, holding a novel and reading it with gusto, as if he didn't hear the sound of gunfire from that direction at all.

On the other side, Natsuki Subaru stood there a little uneasy and walked around.

He couldn't help being as leisurely as Wood. Although he had thought that this battle might be more intense, he never thought that it would start so soon.

"Don't look, there is a fight over there, what should we do next?"

Natsuki Subaru said with a look of panic.

"What can I do, of course I watch them fight."

Wood curled his lips, looked up in that direction, then retracted his gaze, and then gave Nayue Subaru a blank look: "Do you still want to help fight?"

"..."

The corner of Nayue Subaru's mouth twitched slightly: "If you want to fight, you should go."

"What a joke."

Wood put the book aside, took a sip of water, and said unhurriedly: "Although there is a saying that shopping malls are like battlefields, have you ever seen any businessman go to the battlefield with a knife? Businessmen only need to understand that customers What do you want, and then you can use the eagerness of the customers to sell the products, of course..."

"Whether the things I sell is true or not is up to me. After all, it's a one-shot deal, and there is no need for integrity."

Wood glanced at Pei Lisa who was listening in the outer ear of the room, and said with a smile: "It's the same now, I've made preparations by using their mentality of wanting to become the head of the family, now I just need to let them walk into this trap step by step. "

"..." Natsuki Subaru blinked.

Didn't understand at all, okay?

However, he didn't continue on this topic, and instead asked: "The one fighting in that direction is..."

"Who else can there be besides the fourth son Wei Hailuo and the third son Pat."

A smirk appeared on Wood's face: "After all, I helped Weihailuo pave the road ahead of time, let him steal the magic stone cannon quietly, and told him where Pat was hiding, and even planned the route and combat method , if he doesn't act, he will be too sorry for me."

"..."

As soon as this remark came out, let alone Nayue Subaru, even Pei Lisha's face outside the house became a little weird.

They couldn't figure out how Wood got involved with Wei Hailuo.

Wood shrugged his shoulders: "Don't get me wrong, I haven't met him, I just quietly gave him a note containing Roswaal's token. After all, I am not interested in Merod's civil war at all. How will it develop? It has nothing to do with me, and I have never intervened."

Having said that, Wood raised his head and glanced at the only two people present, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes: "I don't want any trouble to be involved in me."

"..."

In various senses, this guy in front of him is the most dangerous one.

"Sir, what do you mean..."

Pei Lisa looked at Wood with a respectful face, as if she saw her master: "Will Pat leave early?"

All three people present understood the relationship between her and the elders of the Milode family, so Pei Lisha simply called them by their first names.

"It's just a small fight. How could someone leave the field? Things like magic stone cannons can hit fixed targets that are concentrated together. It's impossible for Pat to stand still and let them bombard them. It won't take long. You will be able to break through successfully.”

"However, how could dozens of people be killed in the first few shots? It's better than nothing, and the main purpose is the materials donated by those nobles."

Wood paused and said with a smile: "Those bandits are probably searching for those supplies now, even if Wei Hailuo stops it, it's useless, after all, it's not a small amount for the bandits, but they will have more money if they taste the sweetness." Motivation, and more convenient for future development.”

"Dozens of people died?"

Nayuki Subaru repeated what Wood said, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes: "This can also be said to be better than nothing, but it's all human life?"

"what?"

Wood froze for a moment, and looked at Nayue Subaru strangely: "A lot?"

It's not a fake...

Because Wood has seen too many dead people, leaving aside other worlds, just one punch dominates the world... When does a strange person appear and not be wiped out in time, so dozens of people will die?Moreover, most of the casualties were caused by tiger-level monsters, and the ghost-level and dragon-level disasters on the upper level depended on whether the heroes arrived in time.

But this number is too much for Nayuki Subaru. Looking at Wood's indifferent appearance, Nayuki Subaru swallowed and said in a low voice, "Can't we reduce the casualties?"

"You don't think you can stop when the battle starts, what's more... all the participants in this battle add up to only five hundred people, so it's not considered casualties." After that, Wood pointed Pei Lisha on the side: "And if the little girl over there is to become the next Patriarch, these factors of instability need to be eradicated."

eradicate?

Natsuki Subaru's pupils shrank, even if he thought about it with his butt, he could figure out what the eradication Wood was talking about.

But that's more than 500 lives,
"This is due to the fact that Roswaal is on top of the Milode family. Otherwise, even those families who helped Pat and the bandits in the surrounding cities will all be wiped out. After all, the feud has already been forged; but since there is May Zasi's family is here, these people dare not do anything even if they are angry."

Hearing this, there was no surprise on Pei Lisha's face, but she nodded in agreement.

madman!

This complete lunatic.

Natsuki Subaru suddenly understood why Wood showed that expression before, obviously this bastard had already thought of this.

But anyway...

"Did so many people die, don't you feel guilty at all?"

"Why should I feel guilty?"

The corners of Wood's mouth gradually opened to the sides: "Don't forget, from the beginning to the end... I have never participated in it, let alone personally shot it. The development here has nothing to do with me. What's more..."

"If you want to say guilt, it should be you, all of this is your decision!"

"I……"

Nayuki Subaru wanted to refute, but a sentence that Wood said not long ago suddenly flooded into his mind.

(As long as you don't regret it... no, it should be said that even if you regret it, it can't be blamed on me. After all, this is entirely your decision, and I have no words, deeds or actions to persecute, guide, or seduce you.)
"Hehe, it's too early to regret now."

Wood looked at Nayue Subaru's face that suddenly became a little pale: "This is a very interesting class, isn't it? Then you will understand that in this world, if you continue to make random decisions with that naive idea, it will attract What kind of consequences."

"Then what should I do next, my lord?"

Pei Lisa looked at Wood with fear in her eyes. For this kid who didn't look like a teenager, just standing in front of him made Pei Lisha feel a little chilly.

"Of course I'm waiting, but it doesn't take long, your uncle should be dead by now!"

"what?"

Both Pei Lisa and Natsuki Subaru couldn't help being taken aback.

Wood pointed to the ground and said with a smile, "Your uncle is not the only one in this mansion."

"..."
