Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Castle hall.

After Christine led everyone to sit down, the attendant led a knight in and loudly reported: "The envoy of Baron Lorient, Knight Jules Weber, has arrived."

Although Christine has not officially inherited the title, as the only heir of Baron Stewart, this is already unquestionable, so Knight Jules Weber first saluted and greeted: "Good morning, Miss Stewart, I am Jules Weber, On behalf of the Baron of Lorient.”

"Good morning, Knight Jules Weber." Christine returned the greeting.

"Miss Stewart, I have brought a letter from Baron Lorient."

Knight Jules Weber took out a roll of parchment, and the head maid Anne stepped forward to take it and handed it to Christine.

After unfolding it, it turned out to be a formal declaration of war, declaring that the Barony of Lorient and the Barony of Stuart were at war from now on.

"Knight Jules, please reply to Baron Lorient. I have received the letter." Christine said without changing her expression.

"I will definitely bring your words." Knight Jules Weber saluted and left.

Christine handed out the parchment and said to everyone: "You should also take a look."

Everyone present looked at it one after another. Although there were different expressions on their faces, there was no timid expression.

There are many nobles in various countries in the mainland, and it is normal for them to have conflicts of one kind or another. It is not surprising that they can pull together a team to fight if they cannot negotiate.

According to the "Nobles' Convention", once nobles, including knights, are defeated in battle and the captured family can redeem them with property, they must not kill the captured nobles.

The "Nobles Convention" also stipulates that no knighthood can be granted without military merit. Although the requirements are not so strict now, the most serious cases of surrendering before fighting or retreating before the battle can be reported to the Noble Council to strip the knighthood.

In this case, no one will show timidity on their face.

Naturally, a reason is needed for a war between nobles, and it is also stated in the declaration of war.

The cause of the matter was probably two years ago when Christine appeared for the first time at a banquet held by the Count of Rennes. Oliver Lorient, the eldest son of the Baron of Lorient, was instantly conquered by her beauty and immediately pursued her.

In fact, everyone present at the time was attracted by Christine's beauty, but the others were either married, or of inappropriate age, or of similar status, or were not in a hurry. Only Olivier Lorient took action immediately, After all, people's personalities are different.

It is true that Oliver is handsome and has a strong body, but this has nothing to do with Christine, so he sternly refused on the spot.

But her refusal turned into a sign of shyness in Oliver's eyes. I have to admit that if you are good-looking to a certain extent, even if you are cold-faced, you will still be extremely attractive, so Oliver continued to pester her.

After this scene was seen by Baron Stewart, he severely scolded Oliver for his behavior of a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

Nobles need face, so when Oliver was scolded in public, he naturally lost the face of the Lorient family. Even though his son was not doing well, Baron Lorient still had to stand up and say something.

Under normal circumstances, the matter ends here, and it becomes nothing more than a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner. But by chance, Baron Stewart was in the period of blood pulse attack. Although it could be controlled under normal circumstances, it still had an impact on his emotions, so he directly attacked Baron Lorient.

I won't hold you accountable if your son molests my daughter. If you don't thank me, I'll forget it. How dare you say harsh words? If you don't agree, let's have a noble duel.

Now Baron Lorient was scared.

To be honest, Baron Lorient is a fifth-level mage. This level is considered quite good even among mainland nobles. After all, nobles mainly rely on inheritance rather than force. But who calls Baron Stewart a dragon-vein warlock? He really can't beat him.

Any professional at level 5, level 10, or level 15 can obtain a specialty each. As a mage, if you don't have the expertise of "spell prompt" awakened, you can only recite spells honestly. The warlock's spells are derived from talent, which are not only instantaneous but also require no casting materials.

Of course, the advantage of mages is that there are many types of spells. Warlocks only have a few spells. After reaching advanced levels, warlocks are no longer opponents of mages. But the problem is that now that everyone is at level 5, there is still a gap.

Furthermore, Baron Lorient only has one piece of magic equipment on his body, but Baron Stewart is wealthy, so he has three pieces of magic equipment on his body, which is even more incomparable.

So Baron Lorient not only asked his son Oliver to apologize to Christine in public but also compensated him with a sum of money, which made him lose face.

Baron Stewart is a fifth-level Dragon Vein Warlock, and his wife is a seventh-level mage. Under normal circumstances, Baron Lorient would have to endure this anger for a lifetime, and since Baron Stewart and his wife are immortal species with long lifespans, his son Oliver will also have to endure it for the rest of his life.

Unexpectedly, Baron Stewart and his wife encountered an accident at sea, leaving only Christine as the heir. Baron Lorient's thoughts became active.

Taking advantage of the leaderless situation of Baron Stewart, he started a war and occupied the other party's land, thus doubling his own territory. This is an opportunity to obtain a baron's territory. There is a 60% chance that it is worth the risk, not to mention that the chance of winning is now close to 90%.

As for Christine, although she is a genius, she is only a first-level Dragon Vein Warlock and a first-level mage. Dragon Vein Warlock's growth mainly depends on surviving the years. There is no shortcut, and it will be decades before she reaches the fifth level. Upgrading a mage's level requires a large investment of money. Without the support of the territory, the upgrade will definitely not be fast.

In the view of Baron Lorient, even if Christine does reach the fifth level a few decades later, the land strength of the two baronies in his hands has greatly increased at that time, so even if the other party does not die in the war, he is not afraid of retaliation afterwards. .

Besides, three or four children of other nobles are considered few, five or six is ​​the norm, and seven, eight or even a dozen are quite a few, but the Stewart Baron only has one heir, Christine. If he can kill her in battle, he will Once and for all.

According to the "Noble Convention", only direct blood descendants can revenge and regain territory after losing it. Otherwise, due to the thousands of years of intermarriage tradition among nobles, most of them have dozens or hundreds of distant relatives. If they all have the right to revenge, it will be chaotic. What.

As for the dragon and elf background of Baron Stewart, there is no need to consider it. Foreign races are not allowed to participate in formal wars between human nobles. Since Christine is the heir to the human nobles, she must abide by this rule.

Therefore, the Baron of Lorient declared war on the grounds of regaining face by being humiliated at the banquet.
