Lord Chronicle

Chapter 126 The Second Fight

Early the next morning, news of the attack on the special envoys of the two countries quickly spread, and the entire city of Yakos was shaken. The tense city defense team was dispatched to search for those thugs who did not exist.

Felino's move was really clever. Now that the whole city of Yakos is full of turmoil, and the city defense team is searching everywhere, it is impossible for Sol to send someone to attack him, otherwise he will only burn himself.

King Marconi was also alarmed. When he found out that Ferino was not injured and Sol was fine, he let out a long sigh of relief.If any of the envoys had an accident on his territory, under the current delicate situation, it might cause unimaginable troubles.

Immediately he ordered Sol and Felino to be summoned, and the king would personally condolence to them.

So under such circumstances, Sol and Felino met again.

"Master Saul, I heard that last night was really dangerous. I am so relieved to see that you are fine now." Felino walked over first, and started talking like an old friend.

At this moment, Saul admired him a little bit. Look at his psychological quality. He only did the stabbing in the back last night, and today he immediately laughs and laughs with you as if nothing happened. What a talent.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I heard that it was Mr. Ferino who gave the warning to the city defense team last night, so they could arrive in time. I have to thank you very much."

"Hahaha, it's a small matter. Although you and I represent our respective countries, we are still old friends, so naturally we have to take care of each other." Ferino readily accepted Sol's sarcasm.

Sol also laughed: "Mr. Felino is right. Although there is a saying that the more your friend is, the more likely you are to slander you behind your back, but I believe you are definitely not such a person."

"Of course, regardless of personal grievances, we can definitely become best friends." Felino said with a "sincere" look on Sol's shoulder.

Sol smiled slightly: "So as a friend, would you like to listen to my advice?"

"What?" Felino asked with a smile.

Sol's voice suddenly lowered: "The city of Arcos is very chaotic these days. If Lord Felino is going to hang out, he must be careful about his own safety, otherwise he might be killed for no reason."

Felino couldn't help nodding: "Thank you, I will definitely remember. However, Yakos's city defense team is doing its best to hunt down those bold people, and I believe they will not dare to show up easily, otherwise they may even get involved. "

Both of them issued warnings and counterattacks in their own ways, but in this verbal confrontation, no one could do anything about it.

At this moment, the guards outside the King's Hall shouted: "Your Majesty the King invites Lord Marquis Sol and Lord Ferino to have an audience."

Glancing at each other, the two of them laughed at the same time, then walked towards the Hall of Gathering, shoulder to shoulder, if they didn't know, they would go in, they really thought they were close friends for many years.

****************************************************************************
Marconi's condolences were actually a lot of useless nonsense, and he had lunch with the two of them, but he always avoided the real problem.Sol hinted that he would make a statement several times, but the old fritters used an excuse to divert the topic. Unexpectedly, he failed to get his sympathy after being stabbed, and Sol was quite depressed.

It was already afternoon when we returned to the hotel. After all, he was an injured person, and Sol was exhausted.Thinking of dragging his injured body and having to play with others, he felt that politicians are really inhuman creatures.

He was just about to take a good rest when he went upstairs and saw Walsa and Mary sitting in the living room.Upon seeing him, Mary immediately jumped up: "I heard that you were almost killed last night, are you still alive?"

Sol was a little dumbfounded, if I died, who do you think you are seeing now?
"How's your injury?" Mary asked again.

Sol pressed his chest: "It's much better."

Seeing his pale face due to exhaustion, Mary suddenly said, "Let me see."

"What?" Saul didn't respond immediately.

"Let me see your wound," Mary repeated.

Not knowing what she wanted to do, Sol responded: "I'm fine, I'll be fine in a few days."

Mary frowned: "Don't you believe me?"

"You can heal wounds?" Saul was a little surprised. Isn't Mary an alchemist?

Mary sneered and said, "You want to play dumb again, don't you? That time when you went to attack the female teacher of the fighting department at night, you were beaten half to death. I didn't rely on me in the end..."

Hearing her mention of the embarrassing things before, Walsa hurriedly said: "Saul, just let her see, Mary's alchemy is very clever, and the special medicine for treating trauma is very effective."

After all, Mary had good intentions, and after hearing what Walsa said, Saul no longer refused.He took off his coat and shirt, revealing the bandages wrapped inside.The wound has been treated by the senior white magician sent by Marconi, and the surface has healed, but after all, the wound is in an important position, so in order to prevent the wound from bursting, it was bandaged.

"Hmph, it's not the same as before, I took it off obediently." Mary muttered something that made Sol tremble.

After removing the bandage, the wound had healed, leaving only a reddish tender flesh.Seeing that the injury was recovering well, both Jessica and Kress heaved a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Mary frowned and looked at it for a while, then suddenly pressed the sides of Sol's wound and pulled hard.

Tear... There was a slight sound, and the wound immediately opened, and blood gushed out immediately.

"What are you doing!?" Jessica was furious.

Quickly took out a small medicine bottle from her bosom, and dripped the translucent black liquid on Sol's wound. Mary said, "Although the white magic treatment is effective, it only heals the superficial wound. The muscles and blood vessels in my body are still very fragile, as long as I do a little big movement, it may be torn, and the injury is in the heart, and this kind of injury needs at least half a month of recuperation to fully heal."

While speaking, the liquid dripping on Sol's wound was like something alive, slowly soaking into the muscles and bonding the split muscles together, and the bleeding soon stopped.

After the bleeding stopped, Mary took out another small box: "In our alchemy point of view, the human body is like a precision machine, a combination of spirit and body. If you are injured, you not only need to repair the body , but also to mend the damaged spirit."

As she spoke, she opened the box and took out a long strip of jelly from inside. On both sides of this thing were tiny tentacles, like a transparent centipede: "This is a prop I made myself. It can close the wound, continuously provide nutrients for the body, and accelerate the healing of blood vessels and muscles. This is much better than white magic simply healing superficial wounds, and your wounds will be completely healed in a few days."

Saul, who has modern medical knowledge, of course knows that doing so is more beneficial for healing, but it is hard to see that Mary really has some skills.I saw that she carefully attached the "centipede" to the skin along Sol's wound. The legs on both sides of the "centipede" immediately contracted and grasped the muscles on both sides of the wound, and then it attached its body, wrapping the wound perfectly.

After doing all this, Mary breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, there's no problem now. After the injury is healed, it will disappear by itself."

Kress helped Sol wrap the bandage again, and Sol felt much better, as if the wound on his chest no longer existed. It seemed that what Mary said just now was not a boast.

After wrapping up the wound, several people sat on the sofa and chatted.Walsa said at this time: "Who did what happened last night?"

Sol got angry when he mentioned this matter, and he snorted: "Who else but Felino?"

Walsa was taken aback: "How come, didn't it mean that he was also attacked."

With a wry smile, Saul told him Jessica's deduction again, and finally said: "That's it, that guy is very cunning, he is basically a thief shouting "stop thief."

His words stunned Walsa for a while, and finally he sighed sincerely: "Good guy, it turns out that the whole Yakos people have been put together by him."

Sol said bitterly: "Yeah, that guy is a real dangerous person, what can we do to deal with him?"

Jessica gave him a blank look: "Now the whole Yakos is a member of the city defense army, so don't mess around."

Sol nodded: "Of course I understand, but knowing that he did it, he didn't even have the chance to take revenge. Is there anything more useless than this?"

Jessica couldn't help but said: "Let's look at it a little bit, as long as we can win Bamke's support this time, it will be the biggest blow to him."

Sol was unwilling: "It's a pity that there is no transformation potion, otherwise I will turn into Brom again, maybe I can lure him out, and then kill him quietly..."

At this time, Mary, who was silent all the time, said, "Don't be stupid, it's all the imagination of you laymen. There is no transformation potion in this world."

Saul looked like "what do you know": "Of course, I have seen it. Although it is not a real shape-changing drug, it can completely change the appearance of a person within a month, and it can also change the appearance of a woman. Become a man..." At this point, he couldn't help but glance at Jessica.

Probably recalling the unbearable memory of becoming Safi and being harassed by Melis, Jessica was furious: "You..."

Unexpectedly, Mary exclaimed, and suddenly grabbed Sol's collar: "Where did you get that transformation drug?"

Startled by her reaction, Sol asked strangely, "Why are you asking this?"

Mary said impatiently: "Don't worry about it, tell me quickly, where did you get it from?"

I don't understand why she suddenly became so interested in the shape-changing medicine. Sol was about to speak when he suddenly remembered that Hitches had solemnly asked him not to reveal that he made the medicine. Besides, Mary's reaction was quite impressive. Aftertaste, there seems to be something hidden in it.

Thinking of this, he changed his words: "This... I met a wandering businessman a long time ago, and I accidentally got it from him."

"Where is that person? What does he look like and where did he go?" Mary kept asking.

This time, even Jessica and Walsa saw that something was unusual, and Mary seemed to recognize the maker of the potion.Although she didn't understand why Saul was lying, Jessica also said, "That's a bearded fat man in his 30s, with a turban on his head. He just passed by our territory, and then disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Mary clearly showed disappointment.She murmured: "Isn't it him? Impossible, the only person in this world who can make this kind of potion is..."

Suddenly, she looked at Saul sharply: "Is what you just said true?"

"D-Of course it's true." Saul met her gaze without fear.Just kidding, if you feel guilty about telling a little lie, it's not him.

"You swear?" Mary pressed her every step of the way.

Thor's tone was still resolute: "Of course, I swear."

"I see." Unexpectedly, she thought that Mary would take further action, but she seemed to believe Saul's words.

"Do you know the person who made this potion?" Jessica asked suddenly.

Mary shook her head: "Of course not. It's just that as an alchemist, I'm curious to know that there is such a magical potion in the world."

Her reaction just now could not be explained by more than "curiosity".But Sol and Jessica lied first, so it's not easy to ask further questions.

"So that's the case, you are really fascinated by alchemy." Sol secretly sarcastically.

"Really, it's not like you don't know that I am a person who loves to learn in the academy." Mary looked embarrassed.

"Oh hehehe..." Immediately, several people laughed insincerely.

Unable to understand what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds, Walsa looked at Mary, then at Sol and Jessica, feeling very bewildered.

"Okay, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Mary got up and said goodbye.

After seeing her off, Walsa couldn't help but said, "Why is she acting weird today?"

Saul shrugged: "Who knows which tendon is wrong with her?"

"By the way, what's the deal with the shape-shifting potion? I didn't expect such a magical potion to exist in the world." Walsa also asked enthusiastically.

Not wanting him to continue asking, Sol changed the topic: "It's nothing, it's just normal. By the way, what's going on with the guild, is there any news?"

Unexpectedly, Walsa shook his head and said, "Not yet, the president hasn't seen any visitors yet."

Sol snorted, "That's weird, is he planning to hide all the time?" At the same time, what he thought in his heart was that Hitches must have hidden something, so he must ask him when he goes back.

************************************************** ************
In the following days, Sol and Felino secretly launched a silent contest.Both are busy doing the same thing, which is to woo people who are sympathetic to their respective countries to win more support.

During the period, Marconi also met with the two separately many times, but every time after meeting Ferino, his position was biased towards Lulin, and the next time he met Saul, his position would be biased towards Dinard, and vice versa.Therefore, his attitude is always vacillating, unable to make a final decision.

So the final key still fell on the Magician Guild. The two of them, through Walsa and Buffett, kept attracting influential magicians in the guild.Since the two sides have similar connections, the weight of the supporters won is also similar, and in the end they only fought evenly.

Therefore, the president's attitude has become the heaviest weight in determining the balance.However, what is depressing is that this chairman not only imitated Marconi in flirting, and has not expressed his opinion for a long time, but what is even more amazing is that he simply hides without seeing anyone. The other magicians in the guild were a little uneasy.

Sol once asked Lloyd if they had told the president about the secret collusion between the Necromancer Guild and the Lulin Empire, and they affirmed that they had sent the news to the president.This made Saul, who was originally full of confidence, very puzzled. Could it be that he didn't care about the news at all?

Several days passed in this way, Sol and Ferino had drawn all the help they could find, but neither could overwhelm the other, prompting the king to make a final decision, and the situation fell into a deadlock for a while.

At this time, everyone began to speculate on the position of the president of the Magician's Guild, and inquired about him through various channels.In this dark tide, what is Farina doing?

At the headquarters of the Mage Guild, on a certain floor of the Mage Tower in the center, Farina seemed to be unaware of the wind and rain outside, and was lying in a rocking chair leisurely flipping through a magic book.

Suddenly, a water-like brilliance flashed across the surface of a beautifully decorated mirror on the table in front of him, followed by a row of strange characters appearing on the surface of the mirror, which seemed to convey some kind of message.

Picking up the mirror and looking at it for a moment, Farina murmured: "As expected, it is true. It seems that in this war, necromancers are indeed very active..."

Then he put down the mirror, got up and walked towards the door: "It's time to make a decision."

************************************************** **********
Soon, Farina summoned the heads of various departments of the Magician's Guild. Seeing that the president who had not shown up until now finally showed up, everyone knew that he must have made a decision.The big and small leaders in these guilds either supported Lu Lin's faction or Dinard's faction. Everyone hoped that Farina's final decision would be beneficial to their side.

"I know what happened in the guild these days. I think everyone is very concerned about my decision. But before that, I would like to hear your suggestions." Farina made a simple opening statement.

The magicians below couldn't help but look at each other. After a long while, Dio, the technical director of the Magic Equipment Department, said: "I think Dinar will definitely lose in this war. For the benefit of the guild, we should persuade the king to support Lulin's plan." condition."

The magicians who supported this point of view immediately gave a buzz of approval, but there were not a few people who held the opposite attitude.

Lloyd, Minister of Fire Magic, immediately said: "President, I think we should persuade the king to support Dinar, because this is what is really for the sake of the guild. Once Dinar is defeated, Lulin's power will increase greatly, and Bamuk will definitely be involved." , then our guild will also be in jeopardy."

Balik, the deputy director of wind magic, immediately retorted: "It's groundless nonsense. Lulin never said that he would have Bamuk's idea."

Ogg, the instructor of the magic material research room, sneered: "Did you lose your mind after doing research? You actually have such naive thoughts."

……

Immediately, a fierce dispute broke out between the two factions of magicians. Both sides insisted on their own words and refused to give in to each other. The entire conference room was flooded by huge sound waves.

After arguing for a long time, everyone realized that it was useless even if they fought over their voices. The final key was still the attitude of the president.So the two sides stopped their quarrel at the same time, and turned their attention to Farina.

Facing everyone's eyes, Farina coughed lightly, and said: "Before making a decision, I would like to tell you two pieces of news I just received. After hearing these two pieces of news, I hope to help you Make the right judgment."

As he spoke, he nodded slightly at a magician.The magician immediately stood up: "Currently there is reliable information to prove that the Necromancer Guild has reached some kind of agreement with the Lulin Empire. On the battlefield of Dinar, there are many necromancers active, and they are massacring The corpses on the battlefield were collected, and the initial estimate has exceeded 20, and all of this was carried out with the tacit approval of Lulin."

"What?" Upon hearing this, all the magicians whispered in surprise, while Ogg and others, who had learned the news from Sol earlier, showed knowing expressions.

"President, is this news true? What is their purpose?" Tulsi stood up and said.After all, this matter is related to the fundamental interests of the guild, and the magicians who support Lu Lin have to temporarily abandon their positions.

The magician nodded: "The news has been confirmed. As for the other party's purpose, it is still unclear."

This remark caused another buzz of discussion, and everyone showed worried expressions.If the Necromancer Guild is allowed to take this opportunity to grow and develop, it will definitely not be a good thing for the guild.

Before everyone could recover from the news, Farina continued: "In addition, you must still remember the inexplicable annihilation of the Western Army of Dinar in the early days of Lulin's attack on Dinar? It is said that At that time, 5 elites from Lulin suddenly appeared behind the Sidvila Fortress, directly leading to the complete annihilation of the Western Legion."

I don't know why he suddenly mentioned this matter at this time, everyone looked at Farina in confusion.

Farina continued: "The Western Legion has guarded the western border of Dinar for hundreds of years, and has never let the Lulin people easily invade. This time, 5 people miraculously appeared in their rear. Don't you think this Is there anything odd about it?"

The magicians looked at each other, and Nila asked tentatively, "What do you mean?"

Farina's face suddenly became very solemn: "The investigators I sent secretly have sent back news that there is also the shadow of the Necromancer Guild in this matter. Although it is not clear how they did it, one thing is certain , that is, they must have mastered some method of teleporting a large number of people and materials over long distances."

"What!?" As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.

Space magic has always been the most difficult forbidden area in the magic system, and even the Magician Guild has only obtained limited results in its research.Now that they heard that the Necromancer Guild had mastered the method of teleporting tens of thousands of people over a long distance, how could they not be surprised.

All the senior cadres in the guild were present, so they naturally knew what this matter meant.After a long time, Ogg said in a deep voice: "If this technology really exists, maybe history will be changed because of it."

These words spoke out the aspirations of everyone present, and for a while, no matter what school of magicians they were, they all nodded their heads.

Farina also said at this time: "Everyone, now we have reached a critical moment for the survival of our guild. This is not about Dinar or Lulin, but a war between us and the Necromancer Guild. If the other party Seize the opportunity of this war and grow stronger, I am afraid it will really be the end of the guild. Therefore, everyone should already know which side to support, right?"

"Yes, President." Lloyd and others led the magician who supported Dinar's side and nodded immediately.

They looked at each other, and the party that originally supported Lu Lin also responded: "We understand, President."

"Very good, then I can talk to the king." Farina smiled with satisfaction.

Not long after, Felino, who heard the results of the meeting, only said one sentence.

"It's over."

************************************************** ******************
A few days later, after several secret talks with Farina, Marconi finally officially announced that he agreed to the request of King Robert of Dinard. In addition to signing an agreement to stabilize the border between the two sides, he will soon send a team of magicians The troops marched to Dinard to assist Robert in resisting the attack of the Lulins.

So far, the purpose of Sol's mission has finally been successfully achieved.

Then a grand banquet was held in the palace of Bamuk to celebrate the alliance between Bamuk and Dinar, and to wish Dinar an early victory in the war.

At this time, no one noticed that Lulin Ambassador Felino did not appear...

While the banquet in the palace was in full swing, Felino was standing silently by the window in the hotel where the Lulin envoy lived in the city of Yacos.

Mei Lisi walked behind him: "As expected, Marconi rejected our request."

Felino hummed: "From the insignificant little lord at the beginning to the difficult opponent today, that Sol always surprises me time and time again."

Mei Lisi frowned: "Is there no other way? Uncle has placed high hopes on us this time."

Felino nodded: "I know that."

Mei Lisi couldn't help but look back at the attendants who were packing their luggage: "Then you plan to leave without doing anything?"

Felino smiled slightly: "It's useless to stay in Yakos now, but before I go back, I have to meet the lizardmen in the southern swamp. Since there are wars everywhere in the Magina continent, how can Bamuk How peaceful is it?"

After being stunned for a while, Melis realized: "You mean, let those lizard people..."

Felino laughed suddenly, and stretched vigorously: "Believe me, this is only the first round, and the real contest has just begun."

As he said that, he cast his eyes into the distance through the window, there is the north...

************************************************** ******************
At the same time, the northern wilderness, the city of fangs, and the palace of the orcs.

A man in a Lulin-style dress respectfully bowed to Uroel: "Then it's settled, and I will leave everything to His Majesty the Beastman King."

Uroel, who was sitting high on the throne, nodded: "We will abide by the agreement to attack Dinar, but I hope you will also abide by the agreement."

The man said respectfully: "Of course, once Dinar is captured, the empire will guarantee that the Broken Sword Gorge Fortress and the entire Kaviland will be gifted to you."

Uroel said with satisfaction: "That's good, go back and tell your king, and just wait for our good news with peace of mind."

After the man left, Uroel retreated all his subordinates. When he was the only one left in the palace, he suddenly turned his head and said to his back, "Is that all right?"

The palace was empty, who was Uroel talking to?

The answer was soon revealed. In a small room covered with curtains behind the throne, a soft voice came out: "Now that the Dinar Northern Army is marching south to stop the Lulin people, the defense of the Broken Sword Gorge Fortress is less than five percent of what it used to be." One, we will definitely be able to capture it. At that time, we will drive straight into the hinterland of Dinar, and maybe we can capture the capital before the Lulin people."

Thinking of the prosperity of the capital Dusk and the countless treasures that can be obtained by conquering it, Uroel couldn't help licking his lips excitedly: "If that's the case, why don't you just capture all the land of Dinar and turn it into I don't care about those Lulin people in our territory."

As he said that, he was a little worried: "But Verona is not dead yet, so if we attack Dinar like this, will nothing happen?"

The voice said with a smile: "Don't worry, the werewolves are just lingering, and their demise is only a matter of time. Compared with the countless treasures and slaves that can be obtained by capturing Dinar, what are they worth?"

Uroel nodded again and again: "You are right. As long as Dinar can be captured this time, those who oppose me as the Beast King will never dare to say anything. Fortunately, you have given me some advice these days. younger sister."

"Don't say that, you are my brother, of course I will help you."

Following the voice, a petite figure turned from behind the throne, with a delicate face like a flower, and white hair like snow, who is it not Amada?

"As long as you have my sister's brains, plus my bravery, let's see who dares to disobey me in the future." Uroel slapped his chest proudly.

Looking at the confident Uroel, Amada's eyes flashed with disdain and contempt.Immediately, she murmured in a voice only she could hear: "Saul, maybe we will meet again soon."

As Felino said, the real contest has just begun...
