The mage arrives

The person who caught Gordon's attention was a subspecies of snake people.His naked upper body is covered with tattoos painted with white paint, and his lower body is only wearing a grass skirt full of wild jungle style.

Although his attire looked ridiculous to the civilized people of the empire, the staff of the witch doctor in the hands of this sub-snake man could not be ignored.

The body of the staff was made of the vertebrae of some kind of huge animal, with a skull on it, and a purple gem inlaid between the two black eye sockets, the huge source energy in it could be easily sensed by Gordon.

What made people's skin crawl even more was that from the skull at the top of the staff, a big bright red centipede crawled out from time to time, as well as poisonous insects such as scorpions and spiders.

"Venomous witch doctor?"

Gordon remembered a very rare spellcasting profession in "The Ancient Era".

Unlike spellcasters such as mages or warlocks, the poisonous witch doctor's spells almost belong to another completely independent system, and they don't need the magic net to cast spells. It can be regarded as a genre with shamans.

However, unlike the shaman who is good at buffs, healing, and support spells, the poisonous witch doctor's spells are biased towards poisonous, curse, plague, poisonous insect summoning, etc., which make people feel creepy and avoid them.

The reason why Abel Aldrich was able to develop rapidly in just 11 years and become the king of Haven, who is now in power, is largely because he has won the allegiance of the Kut people.

The Kut people are the collective name for all the sub-snake tribes on the Haiwen Peninsula.These tribes living in jungles and swamps are fierce and cruel.And they are very aggressive. All the males in the clan do not give birth and live by fighting.

Although the Kut people are famous for producing flexible and fierce sub-snake warriors.But the poisonous witch doctor in the clan is the most powerful high-end force.

Through the eyes of truth and warning, Gordon could see the sub-snake man's poisonous witch doctor in front of him, exuding a very powerful magical aura.He estimated that this ugly guy who kept hissing was at least level ten or above.

"Didn't you hear what Master Simon said, outsider?" The sub-snake man used his thin pupils that formed a vertical line.Gordon looked at Gordon defiantly.

"Presumptuous, this is the Earl of Haiwen, you monster dare to be unreasonable?"

The half-elf yelled.stood up.

"Hey, it doesn't matter what earl or marquis you are, in this land, the Aldrich family has the supreme power." The sub-snake said in a hoarse voice. "Alright. Since you guys don't want to be obedient, don't blame me..."

He waved the skeleton staff and began to cast spells.

Who knew Gordon was faster.Before the sub-snake could react, he summoned the activation shield, and shot a dissociation technique at the skeleton staff in the sub-snake's hand.

The skull staff, which was regarded as a treasure by the poisonous witch doctor, immediately began to disintegrate after being hit by the dark green energy light.

In the blink of an eye.The sub-snake found that there was only a handful of white bone meal left in his hand.

"What have you done!" the sub-snake screamed.Eyes blazed with venomous anger.

"Hmph, overreaching." Gordon didn't bother to pay attention to him, and the scroll of suggestion in his hand turned into dust under the spell.He pointed at the bewildered young master Simon, implying that the magic ray entered the other's forehead.

"Mage, do you dare to harm the young master?"

Although the sub-snake man lost his staff, he did not give up and began to cast spells empty-handed.

Master Roshan is Abel Aldrich's favorite.Gordon wasn't going to hurt this mentally handicapped man until he didn't want to completely tear his face off with the other party.Doing so would not only anger the King of Haven, but also grant the twins their wish.

It was not Gordon's habit to be used as a gunman.

"What an idiot who has stayed on a remote peninsula and has never seen the world." Not wanting to hurt Master Roshan doesn't mean that he will show mercy to the sub-snake people.Seeing that the opponent dared to resist, Gordon manipulated the activation shield to launch a dissociation beam again.

This time, what turned into powder became the left arm of the sub-snake man.

Ah!

The sub-snake man's poisonous witch doctor screamed and fell to the ground, his body twitching non-stop due to the great pain of losing his arm.

At this time, the fight finally brought back Abel Aldrich who had temporarily left the hall.

"What's going on here?" The King of Haiwen shouted sharply, limping towards this side.

Gordon ordered to Simon Aldrich, who was in a dazed state under the influence of the spell: "You just say that this sub-snake man suddenly went crazy, attacked me, and was repelled."

Master Roshan nodded obediently.

At this time, the king of Haven finally came to Simon.He asked eagerly, "Son, what happened?"

Master Roshan recounted what happened just now according to Gordon's instructions.

Seeing that his favorite son was fine, Abel Aldrich was relieved.He glanced at the sub-snake man who was twitching in pain on the ground, but in an indifferent tone he ordered his servants to come and carry him away.

Although he is the most powerful person on the Haven Peninsula today, Abel Aldrich doesn't have any magic skills, so he didn't find anything wrong.He nodded towards Gordon: "I'm sorry that this happened. Your lord, please do it yourself."

After speaking, the King of Haiwen took his son's hand and left with a look of concern.

At this time, the magic effect of the hint technique also disappeared.However, the mentally handicapped Young Master Roshan has already forgotten what happened just now, and also forgot about the beautiful Sigrid, and just left with his father in a daze.

The turmoil disappeared without a trace, and the half-elves and redstone guards who had been in a state of tension were relieved at this moment.

"My lord, I was really scared to death just now..." The half-elf let out a long breath and said, "I thought there would be a big battle. I was prepared to protect you and Miss Sigrid from the encirclement. I didn't expect that Simon to do so Obedient, just leave."

Gordon's method of using hinting is extremely secretive, and I am afraid that even the twins have no way of discovering it.All the people in the hall were attracted by his miraculous activation shield.

"This is the power of the arcane," Gordon said.

"It's a pity that I don't have the slightest talent for arcane arts, otherwise I would have dropped the longbow and picked up the staff." The half-elf shrugged.

Everyone didn't want to stay in the right and wrong place any longer.Gordon supported Sigrid, who was still weak, and the group left Aldrich's mansion.

"Sigrid, when will you recover?" Gordon put his arms around the female knight's slender waist.Although she was a bit reluctant to feel the warmth and fragrance of nephrite jade in her arms, it was better for the female knight to recover as soon as possible.In this way, they will be able to leave Black Iron City as soon as possible.

"I'm afraid it will take another day."

"So long? It seems that the spell I cast on you at the banquet just now was the worst failure in my life." Gordon laughed at himself.

"Lord, I know there is a very comfortable hotel in Black Iron City," Larry said.

"That's it, you arrange it."

After the group of 12 people settled down, Gordon spent money to find a diligent and honest cat girl to take care of the disabled female knight.

He read the book leisurely in his room until midnight.

Looking at the dark and deep night outside the window, Gordon stood up from the chair and moved his aching body from sitting for a long time.Then, he said to himself: "Okay, it's time to go out and do some shopping."

Of course, when he went out during this time period, he didn't really want to go shopping, but to implement the plan in his heart.

As an outsider who has no roots and is not familiar with the environment, Gordon is now in a disadvantaged position compared to local powerhouses like the King of Haven.His wisest choice is naturally to stay on the defensive for the time being, slowly accumulate strength, and then launch a counterattack to eliminate the power of the Aldrich family and control the entire Haiwen Peninsula.

But after what happened at today's banquet, Gordon realized that the Aldrich family is not monolithic.Naturally, this kind of internal conflict between enemies should be well utilized.

Therefore, Gordon decided to take the initiative and let the King of Haiwen taste the bitterness of failure, and mess up the situation by the way, making the other party overwhelmed.

He checked the items stored in the dimensional bag, muttered, "This time it will cost a lot of gold coins again", then blessed himself with an invisibility technique, and disappeared into the night.

…………

The next morning, Sigrid, who finally recovered, broke into Gordon's bedroom in a hurry, and shouted, "My lord, let's go."

After the short-tempered female knight finished speaking, she realized that there was no one in the bedroom.

"Where did that guy go? Could it be that he used his spell to spy on some beautiful girl?" Sigrid said to herself.After what happened between the two of them yesterday, the female knight had a strange feeling towards Gordon. Deep down in her heart, she no longer regarded him as a high-ranking Earl who needed to be treated with courtesy. up.

"What's 'again'? I've never done anything like peeping at women before." A voice came from behind Sigrid.

The female knight turned her head and found that Gordon was looking at her with a smile.

"Did you hear everything?" The female knight realized that she had slipped her mouth in a panic, and immediately covered her mouth.

This self-deception is very interesting.

Gordon smiled and said, "I heard your evaluation of me just after I came back from the outside. I have to say, this is very impersonal. If I really want to peep, you should be the first target."

"Your Earl!" Sigrid was ashamed.At this time, she was in a state of fire and didn't know how to deal with this situation. Finally, she gritted her teeth and knelt down on one knee and said, "I have violated the virtue of chivalry by talking about you behind your back. Please punish me."

"Punishment..."

Gordon immediately thought of something exciting.The key words are "mouth gag", "rope binding", "leather whip", "tight leather jacket"... (to be continued...)
