The Wizard: London From My Backyard

Chapter 89 The disappeared Linxue Province (the first of three updates today)

When Ricardo left.

He also arranged for Landoni, who ranked second in strength among the attendants, to inform Teresa and the captain of the castle, Angel, to organize a pre-battle lecture to the entire cavalry regiment tonight.

Some of the food in the warehouse can be taken out, so that the soldiers can be fully fed tonight and tomorrow morning.

Also, when Ricardo purchased modern weapons and groceries, he also ordered a batch of modern composite crossbows and modern arrows.

Ricardo intends to use these bows and crossbows only for the attendants with enchanted rattan armor at that time. His avatar can be hidden in the attendants, and he can use cold arrows to reap malicious enhancements.

...

Go to the drawing room of the castle.

Andrew, who looked like he was just recovering from a serious illness, was talking with Sir Parson who came from the Provincial Central Administration Office.

Andrew's body is still very weak, and he coughs after speaking a few words, and the seats between him and the other party are also some distance away.

Ricardo strode in.

Andrew arranged for him a more central position, Ricardo and Sir Parsons saluted each other and sat down naturally.

During this period, he also looked at Sir Parson's face.

The other party was a middle-aged aristocrat, with meticulous aristocratic hair accessories, silver hair, calm brows, and a temperament similar to Paris.

After some politeness, Sir Parsons got to the point of the conversation, and his attitude towards Ricardo was very respectful during the process:

"His Excellency, Colonel Ricardo, the noble council has expeditedly approved your territorial revenge war permission. I still want to emphasize to you: annexing the enemy's territory through a revenge war must be in line with morality and match strength."

"It is moral, that is, there must be a rationale for revenge. The Ice Lake family and the Wind Wolf family are not related by blood, but we have confirmed that Baron Wind Wolf arranged for the evil spirit caster of the Thieves Guild, and the evil spirit cursed Lord Ice Lake.

When Sir Parsons said this, there was a pause, and Ricardo took advantage of the situation and asked:

"And the death of our father, the old lord..."

Sir Parson hesitated, "This question, the result of the current investigation by the witcher knight Paris is that, in fact, the death of the old Lord of Ice Lake was actually caused by the caster of the Thieves Guild, but behind it was related to the special meeting that was held because of a certain piece of land in the Panxue Mountains. It is not easy to be involved..."

"I know…"

Ricardo had heard Vera mention this matter, and he was surprised to see Andrew hear the news.

"However, in the end, there must have been a noble from the meeting at that time who contacted the Thieves Guild and let Baron Windwolf know about it... Who is he?"

"Well...it's the former owner of the Wind Wolf Territory and the current Viscount Frostwind of Pansen County, but if you want to expand the target of revenge to the Frostwind Territory...I want to remind you that the Viscount Frostwind is a new nobleman in his prime."

Sir Parsons said.

Ricardo understood what the other party meant. A viscount who had upgraded his title in his own generation might be stronger than the strongest member of the declining earl family.

"As for the matching of strength, if the noble who annexed the territory through revenge has only a little force. Then even if his revenge is justified, the noble council will deprive the annexed territory and titles, turn it into a public domain or arrange for the distant relatives of the original lord to inherit it."

"Of course, the above-mentioned requirements for grassroots and elite noble territories are not valid for people above the legendary knight level. If you have spellcasters above the top wizard apprentice level directly participating, or real wizards acquiesce, you can also ignore the moral and strength requirements. However, I think you have already met them."

"...Do you want me to help you extend the target application of the Revenge War to the Frost Wind Territory of Pansen County when I go back?"

Facing Sir Parson's proposal, Ricardo shook his head.

In his current temporary state, he already has the spiritual power of a top apprentice, and he must be able to become a top wizard apprentice in the near future.

At that time, as long as there is a simple reason, you can directly deal with the enemy through various means.

Now, why bother to make enemies for yourself, or enter the enemy's sight.

"Thank you for your reminder. Tomorrow, I'm going to take the lead against the wind wolf."

Ricardo said.

After he finished speaking, Andrew's eyes widened.

Tomorrow...cough...cough...

He was a little out of breath and coughed repeatedly.

"Brother, you are really... swift and resolute..."

Andrew was amazed at Ricardo's decisiveness in killing.

The day before yesterday, when Ricardo organized a new fully equipped cavalry team to defeat the bandits triumphantly, he was already shocked.

In a place like the countryside, a story in a tavern can be enjoyed for half a year.

The matter of Ricardo forming cavalry and suppressing bandits has become the talk of the whole castle.

From taking out the healing potion to cure himself, to curing An Erjie, to taking out armor and weapons to form an army in a few days.

Andrew can only sigh that his younger brother's accumulation in the Wizarding Continent in the past ten years is far beyond imagination.

"Then I wish you victory... I will witness together with my colleagues at that time. When witnessing, we will use ritual scrolls that enhance the divination effect after the event. In addition, we will leave records and arrange surrounding witnesses. They should mainly be signed by people stationed in the demon hunter knights, port patrol cavalry and church knights."

"Paris will release the investigation and control of the Windwolf family tomorrow. The members of their family who directly communicated with the Thieves Guild have been arrested in the dungeon of the county. Paris will not leave behind the use of the Demon Hunter Knight for personal gain. He will bring the Baron Windwolf and the reinforcements from the Windwolf leader together. You can take advantage of that moment to attack."

Under the strong pressure from Boss Vera, Sir Parson, the inspector sent by the administrative office, sat on Ricardo's side completely, and considered many details for Ricardo.

For the lower-level nobles, this level of major event game must be based on legal principles, so that the upper-level nobles can't make mistakes.

"My side... and my inspector colleagues need to avoid suspicion. We are staying at the hotel in Binghu Town tonight, and we will go to Windwolf Town tomorrow."

Don't say goodbye, Sir Parsons.

There is a village of six thousand people in Binghu Territory.

The Lord's Castle is still some distance away from that village, Sir Parsons has to go back.

"Thank you... Excuse me, I feel that your family seems to have something to do with Paris's family... I'm curious..."

Ricardo and Andrew got up to see off the guests, and Ricardo asked while looking at the family crest on Sir Parson's sleeve.

Ricardo felt a little familiar with the opponent's emblem.

It is a pair of black wings wrapped around the middle of the bauhinia flower.

"Haha... Yes, both my family and the Paris family belong to the descendant branch of a clan in the Remnants of the Wild Snow. You came back from the Wizarding Continent. Have you heard the story that a place called 'Rinxue Province' disappeared in the Wizarding Continent decades ago?"

"There are many extraordinary clans in that province. Since the clans disappeared with the province, the branch families that were originally on the outskirts of the Wizarding Continent lost their support. Many families fled across the sea. These families are called the Remnants of the Wild Snow."

"Actually, Lady Vera's hometown is in Rinxue Province..."

Sir Parsons said as he walked out of the castle.

It was the first time Ricardo had heard what he said.

The first thing he thought of was the Rinxue Secret Realm mentioned by Vera.

...Could it be that the Rinxue Secret Realm is the Rinxue Province that disappeared?

Ricardo turned around, and he felt that the family emblem just now seemed familiar.

He went to a room in the castle and took out the old push-button mobile phone of the modern world.

Turned on the photo gallery.

He found the photo of the family crest that he had taken when he was in the castle.

The emblem was also photographed by high school classmate Angela.

He slightly compared the coat of arms on it with Sir Parson's family coat of arms.

The emblems of the two families are not exactly the same, but they are very close. There are redbud flowers and black wings on the emblems.

...

The night is dark.

We have gathered several times in the past two days.

The armored cavalry regiment of hundreds of people led by Binghu gathered on the training ground of the castle.

During the three-day assembly training, although the castle has tried its best to supply food.

But it is obviously impossible for hundreds of young and middle-aged people to eat enough meat.

Ricardo asked the castle kitchen to use the food he brought to boil potato broth and distribute it to the soldiers.

He also told the soldiers that there will be a more adequate meal before the battle in Windwolf Town tomorrow.

Having experienced the baptism of suppressing the bandits the day before yesterday, and this food sharing, coupled with the strong morale given to the members by hundreds of knights in costumes, Ricardo's prestige in the cavalry regiment is already high.

An Erjie and the captain of the guard, who were wearing the enchanted vine armor presented by Ricardo, were standing beside Ricardo excitedly at this time.

An Erjie took Ricardo's healing potion, his joints healed, and after a few days of recovery, he had fully recovered the strength of a senior knight.

He himself is the old butler of the castle, with a lot of experience.

"My lord, I can lead the charge tomorrow!"

An Erjie volunteered.

He looked at the hundreds of armored knights behind him. He never dreamed that the Binghu family would have a armored army of this size one day.

"I'll lead the team myself. You all go too. If Andrew can hold it up, arrange for a carriage to carry it and follow him. The castle will be empty."

"To destroy the Wind Wolf Leader, you must go all out. And after the destruction, I need you to take over and control everything in the Wind Wolf Leader as soon as possible."

"The blacksmith shop in the town, the stables in the territory, the armory, the vault, the knight's manor, all the villages..."

...
