The Immortal Wizard is watching

Chapter 24 Hidden Danger

No matter how serious the conflict between the father and son was, at the banquet, Viscount Pex and Knight Berne at least maintained the restraint they should have.

Receiving each other's guests ensured that the banquet would not become a joke.

Thanks to his performance just now, Ronan had a few nobles who were close to the Bourne knight approached and greeted each other.

At the end of the banquet, Ronan put down his untouched wine glass.

Under the encouraging eyes of the Bourne knight, he took Cassana's hand and left the hall.

Not long after she walked out, Cassana immediately broke free from Ronan's grasp and distanced herself from him.

"It's impossible for me to marry you!" She hugged her chest defensively, and stared at him with a flushed face, "Whoever fell in love with you at first sight, I wouldn't go with you to such a ghostly place as Hanfengling!"

"You're right, I really won't marry you." Ronan nodded and agreed with her.

As for the reason why the girl would hide behind him, Ronan knew that it was nothing more than realizing that he was a new nobleman and had no deep relationship with her father and brother, so he wanted to use him to escape.

Ronan didn't care about that, he had always been tolerant of those of value.

After all, the reward had already been determined the moment he offered help.

Cassana glanced at him suspiciously. After hearing his blunt answer, she felt very upset again, and ran back to her room with her mouth puffed out.

"What do you mean won't marry me? It's obvious that I don't like you. Hmph, poor baron." She buried her head in the soft pillow and said to herself angrily as she lay on the bed.

On the other side, Ronan had already returned to the hotel where he was, and was discussing the purchase with the old Motou who rushed back.

"My lord's situation is not very good." Old Motou handed him the purchase list, "The value of the goods we have on hand is around 1230 gold coins, and there is also gold worth 2495. If I want to sell them all in a short time, I can at most The guaranteed return is between 3000 and 3200 gold coins."

"The most troublesome thing is that due to the spread of the Black Death, many farmlands near Black Rock City have been abandoned for more than a year. The Chamber of Commerce has restricted the purchase of grain and does not allow large transactions."

"I used some of my connections in the chamber of commerce in the past, and I can only buy [-] pounds of rye and barley at most."

Ronan frowned, the food was enough for his soldiers to last for more than three months.

But he originally planned to take the villagers of the three villages led by Hanfeng into his bag.

Winter is approaching, he must at least ensure that these people can eat enough.

"What about the black market here?"

Old Mo shook his head, "A month ago, the local city defense army carried out a large-scale sweep of the city on the grounds of looking for a missing priest, and took most of the commodities in the black market, including food, for themselves. Now most of the Black Rock City All the food is hoarded in the lord's castle. This is why the restrictions on the purchase of food are aggravated."

Ronan nodded, indicating that he already understood.

His eyes were empty, his attention was no longer here.

"Did something fly over just now?"

Around the castle, a patrolling soldier raised his head strangely, and all he could see was the clear blue sky.

"I don't know, maybe it's a bird, haven't there been crows running around among the dying civilians lately?"

The other person beside him yawned and responded listlessly.

"You mean the doctors with the beak masks?"

"Ghost doctor, they brought this disease to me! Otherwise, wherever they go, people will get sick?" The man vowed.

The heads of the two.

The crow controlled by Ronan was standing quietly on the top of a tower, looking down, seeing the situation below clearly.

He focused his attention on Viscount Pax walking in the garden after the banquet, and the woman in his arms.

The crow tilted his head, because the impulse of primitive desire was unfolding below.

A few minutes later, Viscount Pecks, who was out of breath, tightened his belt and sat down in the pavilion in the garden with the support of the woman to take a rest.

After Viscount Pecks closed his eyes and fell asleep, the woman trotted away.

In another garden, she threw herself into the arms of the Knight of Bourne.

Ronan in the hotel was not surprised by this, but what surprised him was the situation on the other side.

All the important people in the banquet were followed by crows after they left, including the mercenary Sherman.

Earlier, he had walked into the tavern that Ronan had visited.

The crow parked outside the store looked at the closed store door, spread its wings and flew to the roof, grabbed the gap between the bricks and stones with its claws, and slowly landed from the chimney.

The pitch-black feathers blended with the surrounding black ash.

"Yoho, you're back, why is your face so ugly?"

There was only the red-haired female bartender in the store at the moment, and she joked while looking at his gloomy face.

"If you want me to say, you shouldn't play any camouflage with lower races like humans! You should just suck them up! That bastard!"

Sherman sat in front of the female bartender, gritted her teeth, and her tone was filled with humiliated anger.

"So, the plan is a failure." The female bartender shook her head and sighed, "I knew I couldn't trust you."

"It's just one last step away! I will be able to officially enter the Pecks family. When the time comes, let Elena kill the viscount and knight, and I will be able to legitimately control this human city, just one step away!"

Sherman's pupils turned blood red, and his tone was tinged with madness, "But it doesn't matter, I've had enough of acting among a group of food."

"Eileen will completely detonate the conflict between the viscount and his son tonight. At that time, they will bring the knights to the castle to hurt both, and she will bite the winner's throat at the end."

"You also go to the castle tonight, and make sure that none of the knights can leave there alive."

The female bartender nodded indifferently, "Yes, what about you?"

"I am responsible for dragging this city into the bloody abyss!"

"Take back the fangs growing from the corners of your mouth, I need to know the specific plan." The female bartender rolled her eyes.

"Why do you think I have to put in so much effort to be the boss of a large mercenary group?"

Sherman snorted coldly, and then explained, "The mercenaries are all hungry hunting dogs. They used to have the Pecks family's dog chain tied around their necks, so they didn't dare to act rashly."

"I just need to let them know that there are no more knights in Black Rock City, and they will rob everything around them and blow up the city."

"Since it is impossible to draw blood slowly, let's drain the city's blood all at once, and pray that the Lord of the Red Moon can turn his gaze to the earth again."

Sherman prayed in a low voice, and he recalled the scene of being humiliated by that human being at the banquet again.

He vowed to pay back the price thousands of times tonight.
