The Wizard World
410 Quest 1
In the gardens outside the earl's castle, guests were standing and chatting everywhere, most of them were young noble men and women, and some were children of big merchants. Holding wine glasses to each other, they behaved elegantly and talked and laughed politely.
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Angelet walked straight along the gate and walked into the banquet hall.
The light-gold hall is covered with a thick light-yellow carpet. Some servants are arranging a long table and filling it with various foods.
Golden roasted whole goose, green and red fruit and vegetable salad, white and soft white bread, black beef liver dripping with sauce, thick soup exuding honey and so on.
A large table of dishes is put together, and guests are free to take them by themselves. On one side there are waiters waiting to pour wine for the guests.
Angelet casually glanced at the guests standing in the hall, and his eyes instantly fell on the middle-aged noble man surrounded by four or five nobles in the innermost part.
The man had a black moustache on his lips. He looked about thirty or forty years old, with a reserved and gentle smile on his face, he was chatting softly with a lady opposite him. This person is dressed in white clothing that resembles a military uniform, which sets off his slender and strong figure. There is a trace of decisiveness in the gentle manner, it should be that he has joined the army.
Seeming to have noticed Angelet's gaze, the man also looked away.
"Sorry, excuse me." He saluted his companions in a low voice. Then strode over. Pass through the middle of the hall and stop in front of Angelet.
"Here you come? I didn't expect you to come so early." The man with the mustache stretched out his hand to Angelet. It seems that he has already estimated the time and prepared.
Angelet also smiled and stretched out his hand, and patted him lightly with the palm of his hand. Pat the palms of both hands together.
"The etiquette here is really strange."
"Really?" The man smiled gently. "Someone has said this to me before. When we meet for the first time, let's introduce ourselves first. I am Earl Maixiang."
"I'm Green. Is there only the title of Earl but no name?" Angelet took a glass of green fruit wine from the waiter beside him.
"Name? I was called Earl Maixiang a long time ago. This name was so famous that everyone called me that in the end. Even now I have forgotten my original name. You can just call me Earl .”
"That's up to you." Angelet shrugged. "Is there any safe place?"
"Follow me." The count turned around and walked towards the corridor on the left side of the hall.
Angelet followed closely behind him, one in front of the other. Along the way, he waved his hands to stop guards and waiters who wanted to follow and protect him.
Soon, the corridor became darker and darker, and the lighting oil lamps on the walls became darker and darker. Some oil lamps have even been completely extinguished.
The surrounding light also became more and more dim.
Angelet walked in the corridor, and unknowingly walked a large circle around the castle.
On the left side of the corridor is an open-air white stone pillar, outside the stone pillar. It is a somewhat gloomy ruined garden. The breeze blows, and there are bursts of rushing flowers and plants in the garden.
The count finally stopped in front of a circular fountain, stood still and turned around.
"This is the last area of my castle. It's also my private garden. No one dares to come here." He still had a gentle smile on his face. But under the dim light of the fire, it looked a little gloomy and cold.
"As one of the main people in charge, I need to know the detailed plan." Angelet didn't hold back at all, sensing that there was no one else around with his mental power, he spoke directly.
"A detailed plan? That's a lot." The count turned around, facing the white and empty wall, and stretched out his hand to press it lightly.
hum!
A black distorted rune suddenly appeared on the wall. It's like a s that is as tall as a person, only with subtle decorations and patterns extending from the edges.
After the rune shone with a faint black light, the earl slammed his head against the wall without hesitation. The whole person passed through the wall without hindrance and disappeared.
Angelet watched him walk into the wall. His eyes tightened slightly, he stretched out his hand and patted his waist bag lightly, a faint transparent layer of defense slowly emerged in front of him.
The defensive layer quickly disappeared and became completely invisible. Only then did Angelet stride towards the wall.
There was a scoff in the ear. He immediately walked into a somewhat gloomy small circular room.
There was only a fist-sized oil lamp on the wall, emitting a dim yellow light. The count was standing by the oil lamp, lightly flicking out the flint in his hand. turn around.
"This is one of my secret rooms in the castle. Now, let's take a look at the whole plan I laid out in advance." The count walked to the middle of the room with a smile.
In the center of the room, there is a round yellow sand table with a steep and uneven top, simulating the terrain of mountains, rivers, forests, etc. Small models of city strongholds are firmly placed on it. It is exactly the same as looking at the whole central part from high altitude.
On the side of the city model, there are still some black arrows, which seem to be drawn with some kind of ink.
Angelet walked over and stood on the other side of the sand table opposite the count.
"Do you often deduce plans here?"
The count nodded. "Originally, I was the only one in charge of this area. Of course, the plan can be completed by myself. But if you come here, Ziyan, you can also report the progress of the plan here to the headquarters." He paused, and gently tilted one The stronghold model is corrected. "I used to feel a little deserted by myself, but now I can be regarded as someone who can negotiate."
"It seems that you are very confident in your planned layout?" Angelet looked down at the sand table map, which almost completely reproduced the entire middle part of the sand table map.
The count smiled: "It's not self-confidence, but the impossibility of failure." He pointed to a city in front of him. "We are here now. At the boundary line between the lava lake and the Tali River. The entire Tali River is now in a state of war, which is also part of the plan."
According to various sources, the fundamental reason for the earl's vague explanation of the situation was that he didn't want him to participate in taking credit for his achievements. He didn't care either.
"Since you feel sure, I'm only responsible for assisting you. The specific implementation is still up to you to lead. I won't say more. Can you see the current progress?"
"Of course." The count smiled, and lightly pressed his right hand on the edge of the sand table.
Click!
The entire sand table suddenly lit up, and dozens of small dots glowing with white and red lights quickly lit up on the map.
A large number of small dots immediately brightened the darkness of the entire room.
Angelet looked at these dots intently. Listening to the earl's explanation. "The small white dots indicate the places or forces that have completed the layout. The red ones represent that the layout has not been completed. But there are not many. Over the past few decades, most of my plans have been completed."
There was a hint of relief in the earl's voice.
Angelet looked up at him, then lowered his head and continued to observe the sand table.
On the map sand table of the entire Tali River region, most of the dozens of small dots have turned white. There are also some red dots that are slowly turning into white, which are obviously ongoing dots.
"It's amazing. As expected of the person in charge appointed by the headquarters. Earl Mai Xiang, I have to trouble you to take care of me when we work together in the future." Angelet smiled.
"In the future, I will also rely more on your support, Lord Ziyan." The earl stroked his mustache and laughed.
Snapped! !
When the two looked at each other and smiled, a small spot on the sand table that was changing color suddenly exploded.
"Huh?!" The count turned cold, and looked intently at the sand table.
"What's the matter?" Angelet stood aside and asked, "Something unexpected happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just a small trouble." The count regained a smile on his face, "It will be dealt with soon."
"Judging from your performance, it seems that this kind of small trouble has not happened once or twice?" Angelet smiled and looked towards the direction where the small dot exploded, a small border city where a small river flows - White Elephant City. "Do you need my help?"
The count regained his confidence in his face. "I don't need this, I naturally have countermeasures."
Angelet glanced at the count, and there was a hint of warning in the other's eyes, obviously not wanting him to come and claim credit. After all, it was a plan he had prepared for decades.
The count stretched out his hand, and tapped lightly on the place where the small light spot exploded.
laugh!
A triangular white light curtain suddenly popped up above the sand table, and a clear picture flashed quickly above it.
In the night, a fiery red fire was burning. Beside the burning building, two young men and women supporting each other looked at the fire with scars all over their bodies, and their bodies were dyed red.
On the ground beside the two, corpses in yellow clothes lay everywhere. The corpses all appear to be members of an organization. Among them was a tall and burly man, holding a black steel fork, staring angrily, and died standing up.
Angelet noticed that the count's face suddenly became extremely ugly looking at the picture. He seemed to know the young man and woman standing there, and there was a hint of gnashing of teeth. Then those corpses must belong to the Earl.
Looking closely at the two of them, Angelet felt vaguely familiar.
A blue line flashed in his eyes, and Angelet's face was slightly stunned, and he said in a low voice, "Isn't this the good-for-nothing son of the Thousand Waterfall City Lord? Why did he come here?"
Angelet glanced at Earl Maixiang, saw the muscles on his face twitch, and knew that he had guessed right.
"The girl standing next to him should be Sera, the lover of Suman, the son of Thousand Falls City Lord?" He continued to ask.
"You are so memorable." The count resumed his smiling expression, "I just met them once at Xia Zuo's banquet, and I can quickly recognize their identities. Yes, they are Selah and Suman. Speaking of which, Selah Or your senior brother Xia Zuo's relatives. I don't know if I get rid of these two little guys, will it cause trouble to you?"
"Of course not." Angelet replied sternly, "It just looks like Earl, your subordinates seem to fall under the hands of these two people. I don't know if we need support?"
"I don't need to worry about this." The earl's face returned to calm, "I will take care of everything." (To be continued...)
