Chapter 153 Travel 3
Allen squinted his eyes and glanced at the other party, a second-level wizard apprentice. Not everyone will only pursue strength. If they do not have the ability to break through the bottleneck and become a formal wizard, many of these people will accept the olive branches of some local powerful nobles to serve them. After all, enjoying a luxurious life here is also a good choice.
Nodding slightly, Allen jumped out of the carriage, reached out to take the badge sent by the wizard apprentice, and asked in a faint tone: "Where is Anthony?"
"I'm sorry, Sir Anthony has not come back yet, but I have sent someone to rush over. I believe I will come to meet you soon." The wizard apprentice said quickly.
Allen nodded, then followed the apprentice into Beverly Manor.
The manor is large, covering an area of hundreds of acres, and is decorated in elegant and luxuriously. A stream winds through the manor. This is a spring behind the manor. The entire manor is surrounded by high walls, like a city in a city.
A guard post was arranged on the city wall, and behind it was a large area of farmland, so the entire manor could be fully self-sufficient.
"It seems that Sir Anthony is not at ease." After a casual look, Allen said secretly.
It is understandable to think about it. He is not the Earl of Alder, but the acting city lord appointed by the old earl. When the old earl was alive, he began to manage the city. After the old earl died, he still firmly controlled the rights of the city. Now the nobles in the city support him is almost the same as those who support the little earl, and the little earl even occupies the righteousness.
If you say it is useful, it is very useful. If it is useless, it is useless at all. Sir Anthony is just a big deal. For several years, he is still the acting city lord. Once the little Count becomes an adult, he has enough reasons to take back all of Anthony's rights.
Now the little Count is not many years away from adulthood. For such people who control power, if you want them to give up their power, it is better to kill them directly. Therefore, the battle between the two has become increasingly fierce as the little Count grows up.
As for killing the little Count and then occupying Kalin City, this is even more of a foolish move. If he does this, no matter whether he succeeds or not, his fate will be death.
Many nobles in this world have close ties with wizards. They cannot guarantee that their families will prosper forever, so there is a hidden rule among nobles. No noble wants their descendants and foundation to be killed and robbed by their original subordinates or servants after their death. This is the bottom line among nobles.
If Anthony dared to touch him, he would not be recognized by the nobles. The fate would be to be besieged by all the nobles. The surrounding wolves were waiting for such an opportunity to intervene and then snatch the fat piece of meat.
Allen waited in the living room for a while, and Anthony rushed back out of breath.
"Welcome to Beverly Manor, this Wizard."
This Sir Anthony is a fat man over forty years old who weighs more than 200 pounds. He has a cute smile and looks harmless. He has a smile on his face. Only those eyes that flash a little from time to time can reveal his extraordinaryness.
It was this fat man who seemed harmless to control the city for more than ten years. However, Allen didn't care about these things. He couldn't raise any interest in worldly power. The purpose of coming here was to the Wizard Tower.
"The Wizard must be tired from afar. I have prepared a dinner and a guest room." Sir Anthony said with a smile on his face.
Allen smiled silently and nodded slightly.
The dinner was very sumptuous, with more than a dozen maids waiting beside them, and rows of whale oil candles were lit on the edge of the dining table, mixed with spices, and the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance.
Grilled goose, steak, whole sheep, caviar, cheese, desserts, truffles, etc. for dinner, but Anthony did not have the heart to enjoy the sumptuous dinner and was secretly observing Allen. He was uneasy about the sudden arrival of this strange wizard. He did not know Allen's purpose. Mortals always feel powerless when facing wizards. However, when he saw Allen concentrate on enjoying the delicious food, he felt a little relieved.
Allen had long noticed that he had glanced at his eyes, but he didn't care at all, and enjoyed the food in front of the person with a calm expression.
After using the dinner, the two of them came to the study. Alan took a leisurely sip of tea. At this time, Anthony was a little restless. He saw Alan put down the cup and asked:
"Where are you from?"
The candlelight in the study was beating, and Sir Anthony's face looked a little gloomy. Allen leaned against the chair casually, his eyes wandering through the room. Then he said relaxedly: "I'm from the Fifth Ring Tower."
Hearing the words "Fifth Ring Tower", Anthony was shocked again. He knew exactly what power this name represents on the East Coast. This was the strongest wizard organization in the entire eastern continent.
Anthony had already guessed Alan's identity as much as possible, but he didn't expect that where he came from, and he became more and more awe in his heart.
This sea area has not been occupied by other wizard organizations, and only some wizard apprentices have been sent to the Five Ring Tower. Do you want to take this place into your pocket? Anthony instantly thought it was in his mind. Alan came here specifically to prepare to take this area into the Five Ring Tower.
"You are looking for me and don't know what I want?" Anthony asked carefully.
Alan shook his legs gently, glanced at the tea, as if he was thinking about something, and the room fell into a strange tranquility.
Finally, when Allen saw that Sir Anthony was already sweating profusely, Alan put down his teacup.
Click!
A sound of fingers came.
Allen looked at Sir Anthony and smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's a good thing for you. I'm going to build a wizard tower here, and I need you to provide manpower and some materials. Of course, in exchange, I will give your family a promise, or in the future, your family's wizard qualifications can accept him as an apprentice."
"Hiss!" Anthony was first surprised, then took a breath. He had already heard a promise, and the promise from a formal wizard from the Fifth Ring Tower was enough to ensure that his family would flourish for hundreds of years. However, when he heard that Allen was going to build a wizard tower, he couldn't help but breathe.
As a qualified nobleman, he knew that the money it would cost to build a real wizard tower, which almost cost most of the entire Kalin City's family. The various materials needed were almost astronomical.
However, considering the promise of a formal wizard, he was still ready to grit his teeth and agree. After all, the promise of a formal wizard is not so easy to get, and it is very likely that he will never encounter it again if he missed this time.
