The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 59 Waiting for a storm

At the end of the month of Winter Qin, the snow has not completely dissipated.

There is still some time before the wind of recovery arrives, but the entire Jinyan Province is faintly restless.

Two major events that happened recently have made the entire aristocratic circle in Jinyan Province excited.

The first thing is related to the Storm Territory.

After being in a coma for more than half a year, Earl Storm was finally pronounced dead.

The title was unexpectedly inherited by Lord Storm's youngest son.

At the subsequent knighthood ceremony, Marquis Jinyan attended and gave his blessing to the new Earl of Storm.

The second thing is that the position of Baron Flash changed hands again.

To be honest, many nobles were mentally prepared for this outcome.

But what happened was a bit beyond their expectations.

Black Rock City captured Glitter City almost without any blood.

According to the battle report, as soon as the Black Rock City army arrived in front of Glitter City, the city gate shattered, and several generals were torn into several pieces inexplicably in full view of the public, and died tragically on the spot.

So before the war even started, the garrison of Glitter City collapsed.

The Black Rock City army then marched straight in and took over the entire Glitter City without much effort.

This result really shocked many people.

And more discerning people, when they saw this battle report, guessed Sunan's role in this victory.

After the war, many nobles were waiting for Marquis Jinyan's reaction.

After all, everyone knows that behind Irving stands the Marquis of Jinyan.

Now that Owen has been hanged and the position of Baron Flash has changed hands, if Marquis Jinyan does nothing, his prestige will inevitably drop significantly.

But what is surprising is that after the war for a long time, Marquis Jinyan didn't react at all.

The new Flash Baron Key Yaneste easily conquered the entire Flash Territory and gradually secured his position as Baron.

Many nobles were puzzled.

Only a few nobles who were close to the Marquis of Jinyan, such as Earl Winterfrost, Viscount Kurosawa and Viscount Quetzalcoatl, knew what the latter was afraid of.

Jinyan City, inner fort.

Under the guidance of the butler, the two men in cloaks walked through the courtyard and entered the spacious and bright corridor.

The two sides of the corridor are covered with oil paintings that are obviously very expensive at first glance. The sun shines in from the window, making the gilded picture frames sparkle.

Casper was at the end, his eyes swept over an oil painting, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He remembered that this oil painting of Princess Jinghua had appeared at a large auction not long ago, and it sold for a high price of 3,800 gold coins.

But such a precious oil painting is now hanging carelessly in the corridor.

Looking at the dozens of oil paintings on the corridor that were probably not much less valuable than Princess Jinghua, Casper couldn't help but sigh secretly.

It was said that the Marquis of Jinyan was as wealthy as his country, and now it seems that the rumors are indeed true.

In this world, gold coins represent strength. It's no wonder that Marquis Jinyan is not willing to be the overlord of only one party.

While thinking, the three of them had arrived at the room at the end of the corridor.

The butler raised his hand and knocked on the door gently and said, "Lord, two distinguished guests have arrived."

"Come in."

A deep, deep voice came from inside.

The housekeeper gently pushed the door open, then turned sideways and motioned for the two of them to enter.

Walking into the study, Marquis Jinyan was standing sideways in front of the window, staring at the sky outside, his eyes fixed and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Just two months ago, Marquis Jinyan celebrated his sixtieth birthday, but his black hair was still as shiny as ever, and his facial skin was firm and rosy. Anyone who looked at him would think he was only in his early thirties.

"Priest Yoris, long time no see."

Marquis Jinyan turned around, a smile on his tough face, and raised his hand to signal the two of them to sit down.

"Long time no see, Lord Marquis, I am very happy to see you well." After Marquis Jinyan sat down, Yoris also sat down opposite him.

As for Casper, he stood aside consciously.

He is not yet qualified to sit down in front of these two people.

"As I get older, my body starts to decline. The hidden wounds from previous battles resurface from time to time. Time is not forgiving."

"My lord, the Marquis, is joking. Your body is much stronger than mine."

The two exchanged a few words like ordinary friends, and then Marquis Jinyan got down to business.

"Priest Yoris came all the way to see me, isn't he just to chat with me about home affairs?"

Yoris's smile faded and he said solemnly: "I came to see the Marquis this time mainly because of Sunan's affairs."

As soon as the word "Su Nan" came out, a hint of gloom flashed across Marquis Jinyan's face, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Casper on the side subconsciously tensed up.

At this moment, the Marquis of Jinyan really showed a hint of his potential as the overlord of Jinyan Province and a veteran legendary knight.

"Su Nan? Has he provoked your sect?" Marquis Jinyan asked with raised eyebrows.

In his impression, the only intersection between Sunan and the Spark Cult was when the Spark Cult members sneaked into Black Rock City and assassinated him.

He still couldn't figure out the reason why the Spark Cult assassin failed before, but after the battle report of Black Rock City was made public, the facts became very clear.

Even Huo Qi died at the hands of Sunan. It was normal for two junior knight assassins to fail in their assassination.

It's just that the assassination was commissioned by Owen. Even if it failed, the Spark Cult would not turn its anger on Sunan.

But what Yoris said next made Marquis Jinyan a little surprised.

"To be honest with you, Lord Marquis, two months ago, our sect's stronghold in Stone Bell City suffered heavy casualties. A total of six priests and hundreds of believers were lost, and the murderer who caused all this was a wizard."

"The other party also happens to have a strange beast that can become invisible."

A flash of realization flashed in Marquis Jinyan's eyes.

Alien beasts that can become invisible are so rare. The possibility of two appearing at the same time in Jinyan Province is really low.

In addition, the controllers are all wizards, so the probability is even lower.

No wonder the Spark Sect was sure that person was Sunan.

"But how did Sunan know about your stronghold in Stone Bell City?"

Marquis Jinyan knew that people in the Spark Cult had methods to prevent torture, and it was impossible for others to interrogate any information from these fanatical believers.

If not for this, he would not be able to cooperate with the Spark Cult and assassinate nobles.

".We haven't investigated this clearly yet."

Yoris' eyes twitched slightly, and then his expression turned cold and stern.

"But Sunan has killed so many of our followers, we will never let him go."

"I came to see Mr. Marquis this time because I also want to deal with Sunan with you."

"If you want to send troops to attack the Shining Leader, we are willing to help you!"

Marquis Jinyan tapped his fingers on the table and said with a slight smile: "I am naturally very happy that your teacher is willing to help, but now is not the time to deal with the Shining Collar."

"How long will it take?" Yoris frowned slightly.

It wasn't that he was really in a hurry to kill Sunan, but the divine blood amber was still in the opponent's hand.

This thing is of great significance to the sect. If you don't get it back, you won't be able to rest at ease.

Marquis Jinyan stood up and came to the window, looking deeply to the south.

"Wait for a storm."

"A storm sweeping across the principality."
