Chapter 149

Enter the wizard tower and stand on the teleportation array in the lobby on the ground floor.

The scene in front of him changed, and he appeared in a spacious and luxurious room. Ren recognized this place. He had visited once last month, and it was the residence of the Duke of Silver Star.

At a glance, the two saw the Duke of Silver Star, who was recliningly sitting on the sofa.

She had already changed out of the solemn robes she wore at the knighting ceremony, and put on a long dress that was comfortable and homely, with a leisurely posture, holding a book in her hand, and was reading it with relish, as if she didn't notice anyone coming in.

The Duke was the only one in the room, and Frink, the chief guard, went somewhere.

Ovira hesitated for a few seconds. She knew that the Duke had the habit of reading and didn't like being disturbed, so she finally stepped forward and called softly, "Your Excellency."

Ren also walked over.

The Duke of Silver Star raised his head, glanced at the two of them, but couldn't see any expression, nodded and said: "You guys are here, sit down and talk."

When the two of them sat across from the sofa, she closed the book in her hand and looked at Ren, "Do you already know where Glamorgan is?"

"Yes." Ren replied truthfully.

"It's good to know, so I don't need to tell you again." The Duke of Silver Star suddenly laughed, changed his sitting position, and sighed: "Glamorgan is a good territory. When I got its jurisdiction, I also felt very happy. Unexpectedly, the demise of the Dukagen family was beyond the expectations of many people."

"Unfortunately, the benefits of this territory are too great. Countless people covet it, and even I can't eat it. In the end, I can only get some leftovers."

"Otherwise, I can build the floating city at least fifty years in advance."

The Duke of Silver Star had a rather regretful expression on his face.

Viola was a little anxious, and asked: "Your Excellency, if this is the case, why do you still have to make Wren the Earl of Glamorgan? The record company is on the right track, and I assure you that within five years, the annual income of the record company will It will definitely exceed 500,000 gold shields."

The Duke of Silver Star was unmoved.

She snorted and asked back, "Viola, do you think I'm short of money, that's why I came up with the idea of ​​the Glamorgan territory?"

Viola didn't respond, but she obviously thought so.

So did Ryan.

Other than that, they couldn't think of any other reason. People in Longshande who have a little knowledge of Glamorgan's territory probably have the same idea.

The Duke of Silver Star was silent for a while, and said: "You have managed the record company well, and I am also very optimistic about the prospects of the phonograph. This is an industry that can bring long-term profits."

"However, do you know how much money the nobles of Modu hand over to me every year?"

Before Ren and Viola could guess, she continued, "It happens to be half a million gold."

"so much!"

Both of them were a little surprised, the amount was much higher than expected.

The annual income of 500,000 gold may not seem much compared to the tax revenue of the entire Duke of Longshande, but this is pure income, and there is no need to do anything. As long as you lie down, you can collect 500,000 gold for nothing every year.

The nobles of Modu are willing to give the Duke of Silver Star so much money. Obviously, their income in Glamorgan is much higher than this figure.

Maybe this is just a trivial part of it.

Ren thought to himself, now the Duke of Silver Star is not willing to take only the half a million gold, she wants more.

Viola still couldn't understand, and asked, "Why is it Ren?"

No matter how strong Ren is, he is only a fourth-level wizard.

When he entered Modu, a trading capital that gathered countless powerful people from the empire, he also narrowly escaped death.

If the Duke wants to get Glamorgan back, he can confer on other people. Any one of the five legendary transcendents under the Duke is more suitable than Rennes to become the new Earl of Glamorgan.

"You think I pushed Ren into the fire pit?" the Duke of Silver Star asked in a deep voice.

Viola bit her lip lightly, thinking to herself, isn't it?

The Duke of Silver Star sneered, feeling a little dissatisfied with his great-granddaughter, and said softly: "It seems that you neither understand me nor Ren."

Ren's heart skipped a beat and he didn't speak.

Viola was at a loss, not understanding what this meant.

"Your Mightiness?"

The Duke of Silver Star threw the book aside and said slowly: "First of all, I am indeed short of money now, but I am not short of money to the point where I want to tear up the agreement reached with Anse Wodoss. The loss of this earthquake is not small, at most I'm not in a hurry to delay the construction of the floating city for a few years."

"Secondly, you underestimated Ren's strength. Longshande has no better candidate for the Earl of Glamorgan than him. Throwing him to Modu is easier than anyone else to survive."

Ren's feeling was even worse. It seemed that the Duke of Silver Star knew something.

Viola couldn't help looking at Ren beside him, with some doubts in his eyes, and said, "Your Excellency, Ren is only a fourth-level wizard."

There was an inexplicable smile on the Duke of Silver Star's face.

"Have you ever seen a fourth-level wizard who can rush into a castle and kill twenty-four extraordinary people within five minutes, including a seventh-level steel knight, a fifth-level wizard, and a sixth-level shadow warrior?"

To Ren's ears, this sentence was tantamount to shocking.

He originally thought that no one would know about this matter, even Viola didn't tell him, and he was a little complacent.

Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the Duke of Silver Star long ago.

Ren was a little flustered, but his face remained calm, as if he was not talking about himself.

At the same time, he was also a little curious, where did he make a mistake, or did the Holy Soul Sorcerer have unknown and brilliant means?

Viola was shocked, she stared at Ren, "Did you kill Gallo Weina?"

Ren didn't answer, it was a tacit consent.

He noticed that a stern gaze fell on him, it was the Duke of Silver Star, and found that her expression was not good-looking, and she seemed a little angry.

This made Ren feel guilty.

Gallowayna is the grandson of the Duke of Silver Star, one of her most valued descendants, killed him by herself, and sat in front of him majestically, it would be good if he was not killed on the spot.

Ren suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Duke of Silver Star wanted to throw himself to Modu. This was both a gift and a punishment.

The combination of grace and power is the favorite method used by the superiors.

After figuring this out, he felt relieved, at least the Duke of Silver Star would not make trouble for himself until he returned from Modu.

He gave a dry laugh, and asked bravely, "Your Excellency, what should I do when I arrive in Modu?"

The Duke of Silver Star has just said that she appointed herself Earl of Glamorgan not for money, but for other purposes.

"Viola, you go out first."

The Duke of Silver Star said something softly, obviously the following things need to be kept secret. Viola was stunned for a moment, seeing the Duke's resolute attitude, he had no choice but to enter the teleportation array and leave.

There were only two people left in Nuoda's room, which made Ren a little uncomfortable.

The Duke of Silver Star said solemnly: "The appointment of the new Earl of Glamorgan was not my idea, but Anse Woldas proposed to me on his own initiative. I just chose you."

"Huh?" Ren didn't react for a moment.

What is this operation?

He had imagined many reasons, but he never guessed that this would be the idea of ​​Master Anse Wodos.

Ryan thought of a lot at once.

As the leader of Wezelan Floating Void City, Master Anxi Wodusi is also the strongest man in Modu. According to common sense, he should be on the side of Modu nobles, and they share common interests.

Is there a rift between the two parties?

In addition, the relationship between Grandmaster Anse Wodos and the Duke of Silver Star seems to be good, at least the two sides have a certain degree of trust, otherwise the Duke of Silver Star would not be allowed to intervene in the affairs of Modu.

He quickly asked: "Why did Master Anxi Wodas do this? Does he have any conflicts with the nobles of Modu?"

"I don't know, he didn't tell me too much about the specific situation." The Duke of Silver Star seemed a little puzzled, "You go to Modu after the New Year, the sooner the better."

"When you arrive in Modu, you will enter the 'Wezeland Wizarding Academy'. I have already written a recommendation letter for you. This letter can directly make you a student of the academy without having to pass the entrance examination."

"The people on Anxi's side will also contact you."

"Don't reveal your relationship with Anxi in Modu, but he promised me that if you complete the task, he can accept you as a student."

Ren couldn't help but startled, "Become a student of Master Anse Wodos!"

The promise was too tempting.

Master Anse Wodos is one of the three giants of the Supreme Council. Regardless of his status and strength, he is one of the few in the empire. Moreover, this master has a great reputation in imparting magical knowledge.

In all the world, there may not be a better teacher than Master Anse Verdos.

However, the better the conditions, the greater the danger.

Ren's face was serious, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

To make a holy soul wizard so vigilant, even the Duke of Silver Star didn't know the inside story, and involved himself, maybe he lost his life by accident.

He cheekily asked: "Your Excellency, don't you send someone to go to Modu with me?"

The Earl of Glamorg and the Duke of Silver Star would send people to protect him. If they didn't send people this time, it would arouse suspicion from others.

The Duke of Silver Star thought about it, nodded and said: "I will send a team of secret fire guards to accompany you, plus a team of silver knights. However, they can only operate outside the academy. Inside the academy, you have to rely on yourself." gone."

Ren was overjoyed, and that was enough.

The members of the Secret Flame Guard are all elite wizards, and the Silver Knight is the best guard in Longshande. With them, his safety is greatly improved.

Later, the Duke of Silver Star explained some things that should be paid attention to, and took out the written recommendation letter.

Before leaving, the Duke of Silver Star said suddenly: "Your family, I can assure you that they are safe in Longshande."

"No matter how long the nobles of Modu stretch out, they can't reach Longshande."

"Go at ease."

Ren felt helpless when he heard that, these words were too unlucky... Moreover, the Duke of Silver Star had something in his words, saying that he was protecting his family, but he was actually a hostage.

She was afraid that she didn't want to go to Modu and ran away, so she took her family in her hands as a handle.

But that's good, at least you don't have to worry about the safety of your family.
