Chapter 271 Honorary Vice President of the Magicians Guild

Under Vettel's full efforts, reports of rampant orc activities on the northeastern border of the Kingdom suddenly increased recently. 【】There are several reports of orc invasions every day. From time to time, there are reports that villages on the border are attacked by orcs, and all the villagers are slaughtered.The most exaggerated thing is that even the city of Karachi was besieged by hundreds of orcs once. If these green-skinned monsters did not have heavy siege machines, the city of Karachi might have been captured by them, and the nearly [-] residents in the city could not escape The fate of being slaughtered.

In short, the orcs, who were originally just a plague of scabies on the northeastern border of the kingdom, suddenly became a serious threat to the entire northeastern region of the kingdom.The military sent out alarms to Alonso III one after another, explaining that if the orcs were not wiped out as soon as possible, these guys might go deep into the hinterland of the kingdom, causing serious losses to the whole country, and might even shake the foundation of the kingdom.

The orc invasion happened before. At that time, several green-skinned monsters went deep into the most fertile area of ​​the mainland, almost destroying the entire human civilization.As the supreme ruler of the Thorne Kingdom, Alonso III certainly would not take this matter lightly, and immediately ordered the military department to do its best to deal with the matter.

Vettel naturally obeyed the king's order, but problems followed.The Kingdom has a large number of troops guarding the Lington pass to guard against the undead army. Naturally, this part of the army cannot be mobilized; and the southern border of the Kingdom has not been peaceful recently, and there are often frictions with several countries in the south. It is said that the atmosphere there is already very tense. A war may break out, and the military department has sent most of the troops it can mobilize there.So in the face of the orcs in the Northeast, the majestic Thorne Kingdom has reached the point where soldiers can be used.

However, the problem of the orcs had to be resolved. According to the laws of the kingdom, when the kingdom tried to maintain the safety of a certain place, the local lord should bear this responsibility.According to the report of the military department, the main activities of the orcs are in Kent and Terry counties.Right now, there is no lord in Telley County, so the task of exterminating the orcs naturally falls to Roger.

The military department quickly reported this proposal to Alonso III. At this time, it involved the safety of the kingdom, and it was done in full accordance with the law. Neither the king nor the Duke of Hamilton raised any objections.So the military department immediately drew up an order, and asked a minister of the military department, Earl Farrell, to take a team of guards to Kent Town to convey the order.

In the aristocratic circle of Mandos City, the reputation of the Earl Farrell is not very good.He was only a distant relative of the old earl, and had no right of inheritance in the first place.The strange thing is that not long after the old earl died, his son also died in a hunting accident. It is said that the earl's son accidentally shot himself with a crossbow arrow, and when he was found, he had become a corpse.

So the Earl's title became the target of several distant relatives competing for it. Farrell was the last hopeless one, but his brain was more flexible than those relatives. As soon as he arrived in the capital, he went to visit the Minister of Military Affairs Vatel .I don't know what agreement was reached between the two. In short, Vettel made great efforts in the process of Farrell's competition for the title, helping him stand out from several relatives and successfully get the title.And Farrell also joined the army, and soon became Vettel's loyal subordinate.

Farrell had no aristocratic education at all, nor had he attended a knight's school. He was vulgar, but he was greedy and lustful and thought he was great.In particular, he likes to play with beauties, and he has spoiled countless civilian women. In the aristocratic circles of the capital, he has always been nicknamed "upstart", "Water's loyal lackey", "shameful gangster" and so on.

Farrell sat in the luxury carriage, chatting about the monotonous scenery outside.To be honest, he didn't want to leave the bustling capital and go to the remote town of Kent to deliver some orders.Moreover, Farrell's trip is not as simple as delivering orders. He will also stay in Kent Town for a period of time to supervise Baron Roger Lee's mission of exterminating the orcs.The thought of leaving the capital's beauties and lavish life behind for a few months in a frontier town made Farrell unhappy.

But this was the arrangement of the Marquis of Vettel, and Farrell could only accept it.Before Farrell left the capital, Vettel took special care of him. In addition to carrying out the mission of the military department this time, going to Kent County, the more important thing was to cause trouble for Roger.For example, making the town of Kent fly, or angering Roger himself to make him make wrong decisions when fighting the orcs, etc., these are the real purposes of Farrell's trip.

"It's not good for this Roger to offend anyone. He dared to go against Mrs. Vatel. He is really asking for death!" Farrell licked his fat lips and thought to himself: "I don't know if there are any beautiful women in Kent Town, if not If not... these few months will be difficult!"

Just when Farrell was gearing up to go to Kent to trouble Roger, Roger was scribbling on a piece of parchment.A man dressed as a magician sat across from him. Although his face was expressionless, his eyes flashed with surprise.

This magician is not young anymore, with four gold borders embroidered on his cuffs, he is actually a high-level magician.He was the one sent by the Wizards Guild to confer the title of polymath and honorary vice president on Roger. By the way, he also brought some scrolls written in ancient elf language for Roger to translate.

Roger and Anna have been exchanging letters, and they naturally know that the bigwigs in the capital are arguing about the Wood family's affairs. The Magician's Guild announced their decision at this time, which is somewhat of a gesture of gratitude.

Being able to be close to the big tree of the Magician's Guild was something that Roger could not have wished for, so he accepted the big favor smoothly at that time.However, there is no free lunch in any world. Since Roger accepted the title of the Wizards Guild, he should contribute to the Wizards Guild.So Roger has been translating the ancient elf language for the past two days, and the dignified lord has almost become a full-time translator.

"Finally finished." After writing the last letter, Roger breathed a long sigh of relief: "Master Copperfield, these scrolls have all been translated."

"Thanks for your hard work." The senior magician nodded slightly to Roger, "With your accurate translation, we will be able to decipher its meaning soon, thank you very much!"

Roger smiled and said, "Master, where do you come from? Since I am also a member of the Magician's Guild, I should do something for the Guild."

To be honest, at the beginning Copperfield still looked down on this young lord, and felt that the union gave him such a high honor was a bit too much.However, after witnessing Roger's proficiency in translating the ancient Elven language, the magician also admired the young man a little more.At this time, hearing Roger's words, he regarded himself as a member of the Magician's Guild, and he also nodded with satisfaction: "Since everything here has been completed, I will go back to the guild too. If anyone else dares to make things difficult for you in the future, it is Go against the entire Magicians Guild, don't be polite to such a guy, just punish him severely!"
