Chapter 18 The Witch in the Shadow

"These four territories..."

After hearing Roy's guess, worry flashed in Red's eyes first, and then there was murderous intent.

Any existence that attempts to be detrimental to the Tulumbeer family must be eradicated!

Of course, the premise is to find out this "rat in the shadow".

Recalling, Red began to tell his understanding of these four territories.

The sand colum on the east side is relatively barren in the territory and very few places can be used for farming. The main income is to sell river sand and fish. The lord is Lord Horner.

The south side is closer to the border line, called Tieshanling. As the name suggests, there are large iron ore veins in this territory, and the mining and foundry industries are quite developed. The lord is Lord Denham.

The white bear collar in the west has a large area of ​​dense forests. In winter, white bears and various beasts often appear, which is very dangerous. However, the fur of this white bear is loved by the nobles, which attracted a large number of hunters to settle here. The lord was Lord Prut.

As for the Green Land in the north, the arable land area is large and the grain output is rich. The lord is Lord Ramsey.

Compared with the Sifang Territory, the Black Stone Collar located in the middle has a better geographical location.

The cultivated land area occupies 30% of the territory, with a small iron ore vein and a small dense forest, which combines the advantages of other territories. More importantly, there is an inland lake called "Star Lake" in the middle of the Black Stone Corps, not far from the lord's mansion.

This lake is extremely clear. Every night, under the illumination of stars, it is like a gem inlaid on the earth, shining brightly, hence the name.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Xinghu can produce a very small amount of low-purity magic crystals on the annual "Round Farm Festival", that is, the second Sunday in September.

This thing is a good thing, even if it is only low-purity, but these magic crystals alone are enough to support the consumption of the huge territory.

After listening to Red's story, Roy finally understood why the "false news" released by the person behind the scenes on the black market would be that he had high-purity magic crystals.

The Black Stone Collar has a Star Lake that can produce low-purity magic crystals. Roy, the son of the Black Stone Collar, may have inherited the high-purity magic crystals passed down from his father and may have been produced from the Star Lake.

Although Xinghu has never produced high-purity magic crystals, who can guarantee that it will not be produced?

This kind of well-documented rumor is easier to gain trust than unreasonable speculation.

Compared with the five territories, the geographical environment, resource output and other conditions of the Black Stone Territory are more than one level better than the surrounding four territories. I don’t know how great the Black Stone Lord made at that time, and it was so that the Border Duke could give up so much love.

And there is no wonder that territory with such superior conditions is mouth-watering.

When Lord Black Stone Corps was still alive, there was nothing wrong. After all, Lord Black Stone Corps' strength was unique among the lords of the five major territories, and no one dared to provoke them.

But now, the Black Stone Lord was gone, and the fangs in the dark came with it.

Perhaps, the person behind the scenes was just a temptation at first.

From seducing the witch to the Black Stone Corps, to using "cursive dolls" against the Lord's son Roy, and even the visit of the Temple God-Punishing Knight, it is all temptation.

Test whether Lord Blackstone is really missing.

Until Roy was really detained and taken away by the God-Punished Knight, the person behind the scenes was very sure that Lord Black Stone Collar was really missing.

Having confirmed this, I believe that it is not far from the real action of the person behind the scenes.

After all, no matter how you plan, as long as you can determine the final beneficiary, even if this person is not the person behind the scenes, he must have a lot to do with him!

A series of thoughts flashed through Roy's mind.

"call……"

He let out a sigh of relief and asked Red to leave first.

Knowing the specific situation of the four territories near the Black Stone Corps does not directly help the current situation.

The lords of these four territories were all like Lord Blackstone. They received the territorial gifts in the Imperial War more than ten years ago. From the perspective of interests, they all had the motivation to take action.

However, unlike Lord Blackstone, although the lords of these four territories responded to the call of the Duke of the Border, they only asked their subordinates to lead the knights to the border, and did not go in person.

This is also a common method used by lords who are content with the status quo, and there is nothing to criticize.

But in this way, if you want to find out the true identity of the person behind the scenes, you can only continue to wait.

In any case, the strength of the territory has become weaker.

If Roy had the strength of the old Lord Silver Knight, the person behind the scenes would not have the courage to take action.

Under the light of the breeze moon, Roy sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice breathing.

The energy absorbed by him from the witch was nourishing his body bit by bit, and under the action of breathing, it turned into a thread of Dou Qi.

Time is on his side, and the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it is to him.

What's more, now he is hidden in the dark side with the help of Rami. It is still unknown who is the prey and who is the hunter.

...

Time passed by in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Next to the official road thirty kilometers north of the Black Stone Lord's mansion, the prison car guarded by two God-Punishment Knights also started a new day's journey.

Dragging the closed cage were two tall horses and driving an hired groom. On both sides of the prison car were Rami riding a war horse and his attendant, Knight Al.

The two of them looked solemn and cold, and their eyes were swept around. Once someone dared to approach, they would find and intercept them immediately.

"Gulugulu..."

The sound of the wheels turning was very far away. Other carriages walking along the way also walked on the official road. From a distance, they saw the flags representing the temple gods' punishment knights inserted in the prison cart, and they all chose to avoid them.

The team moved forward until noon without encountering any twists and turns.

Under the shade of a large tree beside the official road, the prison troop team chose to stop here and have a rest for a while.

Although the season has reached late autumn and there is only one week left before the "Fengyuan Festival", the sun is still hot at noon, and even farmers with a good harvest will not choose to harvest at this time.

After simply eating dry food, the coachman found a big tree to lean on it and took a nap. Two divine knights, Rami, sat cross-legged beside the prison car and practiced breathing. Arze stood guard and patrolled around him, alerting him.

Everything is calm.

...

Several kilometers away from the prison car, there is a very ordinary tree.

A little sparrow flew from a distance with its wings and was about to land on the bird's nest of this big tree, but when it entered the three meters of the big tree, it suddenly stumbled, as if it was eroded by some polluting energy, losing control of its body, and fell straight down.

A pale hand stretched out from the canopy, caught the falling sparrow, and then threw it gently and gently sent it out.

After leaving the big tree three meters, the little sparrow quickly recovered. Its dark little eyes were full of fear and fled with rapid flutter.

I ignored the little sparrow. In the shadow of the tree canopy, a slender and short figure faced the direction of the prison car.

The shade covered her face, making it difficult to see the specificity.

Compared to late at night, in the hot afternoon, the body becomes more tired, not easy to concentrate, and weaker vigilance.

And this is the best time to attack.
