Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 98 Sending a Letter
After trying two spells, Ronan returned to his town mansion.

The two immortal trees in the wizarding world can share his divine consciousness.

Every moment, he would take in everything that happened within a radius of more than 600 meters around the bungalow.

After confirming that no one was around the bungalow, he had an idea and his figure disappeared from the mansion in the cultivation world.

The next moment, it appeared in the bungalow in the wizarding world.

……

Southeast Province, Redwood Collar.

Baron Layton Lawrence of Redwood County is entertaining Bob Fleming, a member of his clan sent by Joseph Fleming.

The two sat at the dining table and talked.

Next to Layton Lawrence was Ronan's brother, Bran Lawrence.

Layton is 43 years old and has a large frame, standing over 1.9 meters tall.

His physique alone exudes a sense of oppression.

He had black hair and black eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked slightly simple and honest when he smiled, but quite dignified when he didn't.

Although he had just shaved, his face and chin still had a dense layer of black stubble.

Bran is fourteen years old, but he is already over 1.8 meters tall.

His face was still very childish.

Her eyes were very clear, and she just sat quietly to the side, listening to her father talk to the Fleming family.

Now that his eldest and second eldest brothers are not at home, he is the only one who can accompany the younger generation.

Bob was also in his forties, slightly overweight, with a thick brown beard, and was a third-level wizard apprentice.

Layton poured Bob a glass of deep purple, fragrant wine. "I wonder what brings you to Redwood County, sir? Is there anything His Excellency has to say?"

Bob kept his hands tucked into the sleeves of his wizard's robe and didn't touch the sumptuous dishes on the table.

Upon smelling the rich aroma of the wine, he reached out from his wizard robe, picked up the glass, and gulped it down in two gulps.

Layton then picked up the brass jug again and continued pouring wine into Bob's glass.

Bob glanced at Layton, then took out several bags and a letter from his storage artifact and placed them on the table:
"As you know, the Necromancers have been causing trouble all over the kingdom recently, and even in our southeastern province, traces of the Necromancers have been discovered."

"For the sake of the province's security, the Earl sent people to inspect the correspondence within the province."

"It just so happens that I saw these letters; they were sent to you by your second son."

Upon hearing that the letters were from Ronan, Bran's eyes immediately lit up, and he reached out to take them and examine them.

But seeing that there were outsiders present, he forced himself to hold back.

Bob continued, "Sir Layton, I'm sorry, but we read your second son's letter and found that he is in Triumph City and sent you a magic stone that can subdue undead creatures."

Upon hearing this, Layton and Bran both looked at the bags with surprise in their eyes.

Bob picked up a bag, shook it, and poured out several magic stones the size of pigeon eggs.

He picked one up between his thumb and forefinger and showed it to Layton:
"Sir Layton, I have some knowledge about wizardry to share with you."

"Look at the fine lines on this stone. We wizards call them 'magic patterns'."

"By carving [magic runes] onto the magic stone, magic power can be generated."

"And this magic rune, as your son said in his letter, can counter necromancy and undead creatures."

"As I just said, the undead will be very rampant in the coming days."

"The Earl would like you to write a letter and ask your son Ronan to write down the method of inscribing magic runes or the way to obtain magic stones, and send it to me."

After listening, Layton pondered for a moment and then said:
“Sir Bob, my son is studying at the Kingdom Wizarding Academy.” “This method of engraving magic runes must have been learned at the Kingdom Wizarding Academy.”

"If the academy doesn't agree, this method shouldn't be shared with outsiders, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bob desperately wanted to say that his son had lied to him and had not studied at the Kingdom Wizarding Academy at all.

However, if he were to speak out, it would imply that his family was secretly investigating Layton's son.

Firstly, he feared that Layton might deduce that the Fleming family's investigation of their son was an attempt to assess the strength of various families within the province in order to plot a rebellion.

Secondly, they were afraid that Layton would become rebellious and refuse to cooperate with them.

Of course, he wasn't afraid that Rayton might rebel.

After all, a mid-level noble family like this could be wiped out by a single official wizard sent by their family.

But he still wanted to see which approach Layton would be most cooperative under: negotiation or coercion.

If he tries to be gentle and Layton doesn't cooperate well, then he'll immediately resort to force.

Bob chuckled, “Sir Layton, our Earl, is acquainted with many of the formal wizards at the Kingdom Wizarding Academy, and he knows that this magic rune is not found there.”

"So, we'd like you to write to your son and ask him where he obtained this magic rune, or how it was carved?"

“Yes, Sir Bob.”

Layton agreed immediately.

He had his servant bring him a quill pen, ink, and parchment, and wrote a letter right before Bob.

Bob frowned slightly as he looked at Layton's choice of words.

The letter was written in a tone that completely lacked the authority of a head of household; it was almost entirely in a consultative manner.

If this letter is sent, that nobleman's son will most likely not take it seriously.

'No wonder Layton's son dared to deceive him, taking family funds and indulging in lavish lifestyles in Triumph City.'

Bob couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He thought for a moment and said to Layton, "Sir Layton, the Necromancers are rampant now, and His Excellency the Earl greatly needs these runes to counter necromancy. I suggest you make this clear in your letter."

“Okay,” Layton replied, and then added some phrasing to the letter as Bob had suggested.

After writing it, he summoned a servant and instructed him to mail the letter.

However, Bob stopped him: "Sir Layton, the Fleming family has carrier pigeons that have been modified by witchcraft. They fly very fast. We can send the letter for you."

"Thanks." Layton then handed the envelope to Bob.

Bob took it, put it in his storage artifact, exchanged a few pleasantries with Layton, drank a few more glasses of wine, and then left.

Layton walked a short distance before returning.

Bran met Layton and said, "Father, I've heard that the kingdom has a ban on the dissemination of wizarding knowledge. If Brother Ronan were to reveal the knowledge of magic runes, would it be...?"

Layton smiled and said, "Of the three brothers, he is the most stubborn and the least obedient to me."

“Back then, I advised him not to approach the wandering wizard who was passing through the territory, but I never expected that he would not only approach the wizard, but also buy a book on meditation and secretly practice it, which almost led to his death.”

"Later, he said he wanted to go to the Kingdom Wizard Academy. I told him to go to the wizard academy in the neighboring province first to test his talent before going to Triumph City. But he still insisted on going to Triumph City with the caravan."

"Besides, your brother has been in Triumph City for almost a year and is still alive and well. He can judge everything himself."

Sometimes, worrying unnecessarily is useless...
