The Immortal Wizard is watching

Chapter 128 Outside the City
When sleeping at night, smelling the sweet fragrance from the pillow, Ronan was in a good mood.

But when he woke up the next day and received the message from Black Rock City, his originally gentle expression became unkind.

In the main hall on the first floor of the castle, Ronan sat at the head.

And beside him, were sitting the army commander Ed and the cold wind leader butler Old Motou.

"My lord, according to the news from the Emerald City, the knight we sent out to communicate was detained by the local council on charges of attempting to steal the property of a businessman in the Emerald City, and was convicted of aggravated theft by the council court."

Old Motou reported the news that came back.

After hearing the news, Ed said angrily: "Stealing? Are you kidding? The knights of the pro-army troops have undergone long-term physical and mental training. Boxes of gold are not moved by them. How could it be possible?" Will steal something from a poor businessman!"

"Indeed." Old Mo frowned. "The local council even asked you to go to the Emerald City and vouch for our knight in court, otherwise the council will refuse to release him in any form."

"Are you asking me to go to the Emerald City?" Ronan smiled and looked at Ed.

"How is the knight's training on the special armor going?"

"There are now two heavy artillery pieces in the army, three air-space assault units and seven mobile reconnaissance units. Among them, no one has mastered the air-space assault units, and the other nine armored units can all be used for battle!"

Ed's face was full of excitement. Every time he thought of the terrifying and destructive power that weapon could cause, he felt unbelievably surprised and eager to fight.

It's a pity that the area around the Cold Wind Collar is too quiet, and the beasts that we occasionally encounter are vulnerable to a single blow.

Now it is hard to meet someone who dares to provoke them, and they can't wait to bombard Emerald City immediately.

Ronan could see his excited thoughts from his expression.

However, bombarding the Emerald City is definitely impossible, and he still can't do that.

But figure out the situation in the council, and bring back your knights and the scheduled food and seeds.

By the way, it is not impossible to test the actual combat effect of the armored puppet.

Since you want him to appear, you have to prepare the appearance fee in full.

"Ed, you take the nine armors and twenty knights and come with me to the Emerald City."

Emerald City is not too far away from Black Rock City, and it is one of the neighboring cities.

It takes about four days to travel on horseback.

With his order issued, the various departments of the town of Coldwind started to operate.

A batch of trucks filled with steel and coal mines was arranged at the door, and nine armored puppets folded and shrunk by themselves to form a shape similar to a cuboid, which was placed among the iron ingots.

Under the leadership of Ed, twenty knights were riding their horses and ready to go.

After saying goodbye to the three girls in the castle, Ronan got on his horse and left Coldwind.

However, he did not go directly to the Emerald City, but first came to the village of Baiguoling not far away.

There, the former lord of the Emerald City, Viscount Jonson of the Red Flower Family, was sitting in the middle of the tavern, pouring beer into his mouth non-stop.

Ronan walked into the tavern, and what he saw was a middle-aged man with a disheveled appearance and drooping hair.

"Viscount Johnson, is it convenient to talk?" Ronan sat beside him and motioned the bartender to hand him two glasses of wine.

"Heh, who are you?" Viscount Jonson finally took a look at him after taking the glass of wine he handed over, "It doesn't matter, I have nothing now, and there is no point in thinking about me."

"A village of 5000 people and more than 50 soldiers, your nothing is really a luxury." Ronan shook his head with a smile.

"Do you know!" Viscount Johnson's slightly drunk cheeks flushed, "I used to have a big city of 10 people! The gold piled up in the warehouse is taller than a person! I even planned to carve a golden portrait of myself, Right in front of the Great Fountain in the center of the city!"

"At that time, all citizens will see my face!"

"But now, I can only hide in this terrible countryside, drinking horse urine that is not as good as dog shit."

Using gold as a statue, I understand why you were kicked out, Ronan was speechless.

You must know that a commercial city like Emerald City is very different from a traditional city ruled by aristocrats.

There, with the rapid growth of trade demand, the large demand for gold and silver coins made merchants gradually shift from physical transactions to contract transactions guaranteed by banks.

The gold reserve is the most important credit guarantee for a city bank.

Once a gold crisis occurs, it will affect the trade turmoil of the entire city.

Ronan can freely withdraw the gold in Black Rock City, that's because the whole city is under his absolute control.

But the Emerald City is different. Driven by the influence of the merchants of the Dantuma Alliance, the economic role there is dominating the status level of people.

The power function of a nobleman is no longer determined by his family lineage, but by the wealth and trade influence he wields.

Viscount Jonson obviously did not grasp the commercial lifeline of the city.

It just happened that the foundation of those noble merchants was touched, so it's no wonder they weren't kicked out.

"I'm Ronan Ordosius, Earl of Cold Wind, the one who ordered a large amount of food and seeds from you." Ronan introduced himself to him.

Viscount Johnson stopped drinking and looked up at him in surprise.

"Ordosius? Oh, the bright purple eyes of the royal family, it really is." Viscount Jonson's attitude was more correct, "I didn't expect you to come here, lucky and unlucky Earl."

"I can understand good luck, what do you mean by bad luck?"

"What else can it be? The Dantuma Alliance has become independent." He cursed, "These businessmen are best at playing tricks on the wind and two sides."

"Now that the northern provinces and the Great Plains are at war, they will definitely want to remain neutral and do business on both ends. When the battle for the throne offended the nobles of the Great Plains, they must now want to win their favor."

"Obviously, you have become the target of these businessmen. It is impossible for the food to be transported to you. I heard that your people are still being imprisoned?"

Viscount Jonson is quite a bit of the same enemy.

Although he always felt that there was a reason for his current situation and Ronan, as a traditional nobleman, he attached great importance to bloodlines.

Ronan's royal status made him innately fond of him, and he hated those ruthless city nobles even more.

"It's a pity that I can't help you. How about we have a drink?" Viscount Johnson raised his glass to comfort him.

Ronan picked up the wine glass in his hand and clinked a glass with him.

"You can't help me, but I can help you." Seeing his attitude, Ronan said with a smile, "No one can take my things."
