Master Tongtian

Chapter 83 No family or reputation (110)

Half past two in the morning.

Moon Garden.

There was a knock on the door of Count Omicia's bedroom.

The knock on the door was very urgent, accompanied by the apologetic voice of the housekeeper Malkyri.

"Madam, I am very sorry to interrupt your sleep, but Mr. Chaballet has brought back very urgent military information!"

Ever since she became the master of Silver Moon Castle, Sophia de Omicia's sleep has become very light. In fact, she woke up when the door rang for the second time.

The precious sleep was interrupted, and when the anger was brewing in his chest, it was extinguished on the spot by the words "military intelligence".

She immediately sat up and shouted, "Ava, dress me."

Ava is the name of her personal maid.

Ava had woken up, but she was disheveled and ran over wearing only a thin underskirt, hurriedly trying to put Sophia into a formal dress.

"Chabolet is not an outsider, just wear casual clothes and put your hair down casually. Hurry!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Even so, it still took more than a quarter of an hour.

A quarter of an hour later, the door opened, and the distinguished Count Omicia came out, while the head of the house, Malkyri, was already waiting at the door.

"Where is Chaballet?"

"In the small chamber, ma'am."

"Come alone?"

"It's two people, and they also brought a young assistant."

"I see."

Sofia strode towards the small conference hall. After reaching the door, she said to her loyal housekeeper: "Wait by the door. Don't let anyone in without my permission!"

"Yes, ma'am."

The small conference hall was not large and was used for internal discussions among close people. Although Sofia looked down upon Chabolais, her nephew, she had been brought up since childhood and the relationship was indeed very close.

After entering, she closed the door tightly and locked it.

She saw Xia Bolay waiting at the conference table with a tired look on his face, while another thin figure was hiding in the shadow beside Xia Bolay, looking very inconspicuous.

Seeing her aunt arrive, Chabolai bowed and saluted: "Aunt, it's very rude to disturb you late at night, but the situation is too urgent."

"Let's get down to business!"

Sofia interrupted her nephew's chatter and quickly sat on the chair next to the round table.

"Yes, aunt."

Following the routine he had practiced before, Xia Bolay took the drawing handed over by Rosen beside him and unfolded it on the round table.

"Aunt, during our investigation, we accidentally discovered this ice dwarf camp deep in the maze forest north of Yuehui Town. This is an accurate reproduction of the camp."

Sophia looked at the drawing and was shocked by the connected shacks that looked like tombs.

Chabolai continued: "Based on preliminary estimates, we estimate that there are at least 600 ice dwarf warriors and more than 1,200 ice dwarf laborers in this military camp."

"These workers are also quite strong. As long as they are armed, they are quite formidable warriors."

Sofia looked at the straw shed on the drawing carefully, counted and calculated quickly in her mind, and quickly came to her own conclusion.

"Well, your calculation is reasonable, but it's too rough."

"There are many types of ice dwarf warriors, including ice spear warriors, mud armor warriors, and storm warriors. Different warriors require different tactics to deal with!"

Xia Bolai was well prepared and immediately said: "Aunt, we carefully observed the traces of life left near the military camp and found this, this and this."

He kept taking the drawings from Rosen's hand and laying them out on the table one by one.

Sofia looked at them one by one.

"This is bear dung. It's the Giant Bear Beast King! If there is a Giant Bear Beast King, there must be clay-armored warriors.

"This ice crystal is pure and flawless. There is not a single bubble in it. It is the magic that condenses the traces left by the ice-armored warriors."

"And this. This is a cut mark on the rock, as smooth as a mirror, left by the storm, and there are actually storm warriors."

"But how is this possible? Various warriors belong to different tribes, how can they appear in the same military camp?"

Shabolai shrugged: "Obviously, for some unknown reason, these scattered ice dwarf tribes have reached an alliance."

Sophia's face became more solemn. After pondering for a while, she asked again: "Since it is deep in the maze forest, where is the specific location of the military camp?"

‘Swipe~’

Xia Bolay took the fifth map, but it was an orientation map. Compared with the previous maps, it looked very rough, but it was very simple and clear.

"Auntie, look, this circle is Moonlight Town, and this diagonal intersection represents the maze forest. The red line represents the path we have taken."

"You see, walking 10 kilometers northwest from Yuehui Town, there will be a small valley. In the valley lives a very powerful giant bear beast king. Of course, we defeated him and learned about the military camp from him. exist."

Chabolai's finger followed the red line all the way to the northeast.

"The ice dwarves are very cautious. The giant bear beast king who is the vanguard doesn't even know the specific location of the military camp."

"But through Bingyan, who contacted the Giant Bear Beast King through the military camp, we learned the location of the military camp, searched all the way, and finally found the location of the military camp."

His stubby fingers tapped heavily on a blood-red triangular square.

"The location is right here. Based on the walking distance and excluding the influence of the terrain along the way, we can deduce that the dwarf military camp is located on a boulder highland 30 kilometers due north of Yuehui Town."

After speaking, he pointed to various symbols on the map.

"Aunt, the location in this picture is just an estimate, not very accurate."

"Coupled with the complex terrain of the Maze Forest, in order to assist in finding the way, we set up many special road signs along the way, including huge rocks, giant trees, stone formations on the ground, etc. And these road signs have accurate images."

‘Wow~Wow~’

Rosen kept passing over the corresponding drawings, and Chabolai unfolded them one by one on the table.

These are all charcoal drawings, and the special road signs on the drawing paper are all realistic, very precise, and almost exactly the same as the real thing.

Sofia looked over one by one and immediately had a clear understanding of the specific location of the ice dwarf camp. Her mind, which was originally empty and full of anxiety, gained a lot of confidence because of this extremely accurate information.

She is not afraid of enemies in the open, but of the killers hiding in the dark.

After reading all the pictures, she let out a breath and looked at her promiscuous nephew, only to find that his behavior tonight was very strange.

After thinking about it for a moment, she understood the reason. She stared into Xia Bolai's eyes and asked tentatively: "Xia Bolai, did you find out all this information yourself?"

Xia Bolay couldn't hold himself any longer, and his eyes lowered.

"Aunt, I saw all this with my own eyes, but the subsequent analysis was done by Rosen. To be honest, I just saw a military camp."

Sophia smiled lightly: "I knew that was the case."

Seeing Xia Bolai's face showing disappointment, she changed her tone again.

"Personal talents cannot be forced. You can accommodate excellent subordinates without feeling jealous. This is very good!"

This was praise, and it was the first time that Chabolai received praise from his aunt since he grew up.

He suddenly felt a hot flow of heat overflowing from his chest, and his chest involuntarily puffed up, and a naive smile appeared on his face.

Sophia immediately couldn't stand it and scolded: "Look at you, you reveal your secrets when you praise me! How can you make your subordinates feel awe of you with such a superficial appearance?"

"Aunt, why do you want people to fear me? How happy would it be if we all drink, eat and have fun together?"

Sophia was furious, raised her hand and pointed at the door: "Get out!"

Xia Bolay wanted to retort, but when he saw his aunt's eyes that were about to burst into flames, his mind immediately recalled the scene when he was beaten by more than a dozen tree branches when he was a child, and his courage suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Just leave!"

He grunted and headed for the door.

When he walked to the door, he heard his aunt's voice from behind him again: "Malkyri, take Chabolai to have a good rest. Let Jania take care of him."

Janiya, a senior female official in Moon Moon Garden, has outstanding looks and talents. He and Chabollet grew up together. They were playmates when they were young. When they grew up, they played in bed.

Xia Bolay has always been obsessed with this sister, but she was rejected by her aunt and found it difficult to get close to Fangze when she grew up. However, she did not expect that tonight, Jania would be able to serve him.

Suddenly, all his resentment towards his aunt disappeared, all the fatigue in his body disappeared, and his walking speed became much faster.

After Chabolai left, the door of the small conference hall was closed again.

Sofia sat on the back chair, holding her cheek with one hand, staring at Rosen who was standing respectfully beside her. After looking at it for a long time, she said: "Chabolai has a simple and honest character, and is easily gullible and taken advantage of. what you think?"

Rosen's heart trembled, and he immediately knew that the Earl's rank was higher than that of Chabolai by an unknown number of levels, and his behavior had touched the sensitive power heart of the superior.

He was well prepared, performed the apprenticeship ceremony first, and then calmly replied: "Madam, I can only agree with half of what you say."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"I think that although Mr. Chabolai's actions are rough, he is also delicate and has a sincere heart."

"If you have the intention to take advantage of you, you can deceive him for months or years, but you won't be able to deceive him for long. And once he finds out, the consequences will be very miserable."

Sophia's eyes flashed: "Do you really think so?"

Rosen remained calm: "Madam, I am just an insignificant civilian apprentice. I have neither family support nor reputation among the people. In fact, I am notorious."

"At best, I can only be a knowledgeable and talented counselor behind the scenes, but I will never be able to withstand the storm in front of the stage."

Sophia nodded slowly: "You are so young, but you are sober."

Rosen did not answer, only bowed slightly in response.

Then, he took out the potion he found from his arms.

"Lord Earl, this is the potion sold by the Beast King. According to him, it contains the beast transformation technique of a foreign god called the 'Ice Emperor'."

"He can turn humans into beasts, and the entire Moonlight Town residents, including the baron and the chief priest of the temple, have probably taken it."

"I have little knowledge and don't know whether this is true or not. I can only bring it back to you for judgment."

The count took the potion and examined it carefully, her brows furrowed more and more, and finally she shouted loudly: "Malkyri! Malkyry!"

The loyal housekeeper immediately walked in: "Madam, what are your orders?"

"Immediately send someone to deliver these potions to the temple, hand them over to the chief priest Fa'ao, and tell him that this is a 'gift' from the Frost Ice Emperor to Silver Moon Castle."

"Yes, ma'am."

Malkyri took the potion and left quickly.

There were only two people left in the small conference hall again.

The count stared at Rosen.

"This time, you did a very good job, and I want to reward you! Tell me, what do you want?!"

Rosen felt slightly relieved, but he did not dare to relax.

Because every mage has a very deep mind, and the man in front of him is not only the extremely powerful Great Moon Magician, but he has also been the Earl of Silver Moon Castle for nearly twenty years.

In front of such people, we must have a good sense of proportion and learn to seek straightness in the song.

As for how to ask, Rosen had already thought about it carefully.

So, he said softly: "Madam, if you can, I would like to ask you to answer some questions about the magic."

A smile suddenly appeared on Sophia's face, although it was light, it came from the heart.

"Little guy, are you so obsessed with magic?"

Rosen laughed, and he laughed sincerely.

"Madam, is there anything more interesting in this world than magic?"

‘Hahahaha~’

Sofia laughed heartily, and then praised loudly: "Well said!"

She already admired this young apprentice's talents, and now she was even more fond of him.

Looking at the little guy in front of me, it's like seeing myself back then.

From the perspective of the count, a mage who is extremely obsessed with magic will not have a desire for power, because he has neither time nor energy, nor is he interested in scheming with others.

To such a person, she can safely deliver great things.

Of course, the opponent is still too young and weak now. In a few years, he should be able to be reused.

As for now, it is a conversation between two mages.

"Child, just ask, I will try my best to answer your questions."

There will be ten updates today, and then instead of one update every hour, I will finish them as quickly as possible. Submit the manuscript after reviewing it.
