Vol 2 Chapter 30: Expected (below)

"Did you drink last night?"
The young earl was very surprised and looked at his wizard advisor, and the corners of his mouth could not help but turned up: "It seems that I still drank a lot ... Is there anything happy last night?"
"It's just suddenly that I can't help myself." Looking at the strange look of the other party, Loren smiled innocently: "By the way, relax the nervousness recently."
Lu Wen nodded convincingly. He knew how much the burden was on Loren, especially after the fire in the granary: "This period of time is too hard for you. Wait until things are over and go hunting when the weather turns fine." . "
"This ... I'm afraid it won't work." Loren smiled bitterly and took out the rescue letters from the elves before and handed it to the count: "This was sent before."
"... Has it begun to invade the ancient wood forests?" Lu Wen, who had read the letterhead, widened his eyes, and his expression was full of shock: "No wonder we will encounter ogres on the way, it seems that there are already a few The settlement has broken through the elves' defense! "
"This matter must be notified to the father as soon as possible. If the elves are finished, it is absolutely impossible to carry the attack of dozens or hundreds of ogres with the Deep Limburg-no matter what supplies they want, they must not be allowed to step on. After crossing the border of the ancient wood forest, I will personally see the angels of the elves! "
"I have talked to their leader of the messenger group." Speaking of which, Loren had not forgotten to bow his head slightly: "I am very sorry, but the situation was very urgent at that time, so I had no choice but to make a claim."
"I promised them, as long as they are willing to stand on your side during the rebellion of the nobles of Shenlinbao, Duke Lothal will provide them with sufficient support. If you don't want to ..."
"No, you're doing very well. We are short of trustworthy people now." Lu Wen waved his hand and did not forget to sneer at Loren: "You are not only my wizard advisor, but also my friend , I believe your judgment. "
"So, where are the elf warriors now, how long will it take to reach the castle if necessary?"
"It was not far away that an abandoned farm was in place, and they would come as long as they gave a signal." Loren explained: "After all, they are too different from humans, and it would definitely cause suspicion if they come forward."
The young count nodded, and then seemed to think of something like this: "Speaking of this, the guys who were trying to destroy the granary and were arrested are still in the dungeon. They are mumbling some nonsense all day long!"
"One said that he saw an ancient evil spirit, the other said that he saw a vampire, and the other guy vowed to hear the devil singing." When it comes to this, even Lu Wen laughed himself: "What the are you How can it be done? "
"Well, I'm a wizard." Loren shrugged his shoulders and showed a playful smile: "I can let them see something ... that didn't exist."
"If you don't want to say it, I don't care anyway." The count shrugged. "As long as they are alive and waiting for their families to deliver the ransom, land and food, let them get out-it's really cheap. This moth ! "
"In the past, I would kill all of them regardless of everything. But I am now an earl, and I want to be a good earl, which means I can't do whatever I want and must be restrained."
"Father said that letting the nobility awe and letting civilians love is a good lord." Lu Wen suddenly said to himself, and laughed softly: "Now I think this sentence may also be a little narrow; blindly pursue the love of civilians Or it is wrong to intimidate nobles with killings and criminal laws. "
"Lord ... Just like a judge, the rich are not necessarily wrong, the poor are not necessarily good, giving them justice, and letting them perform their duties is what the lord should do."
For the first time, Loren looked at Ruben Frid with a little respect in his eyes.
Although this remark is full of high-pitched tone, it is indeed like an earl. After only two months of polishing, Lu Wen completed the transformation. It wasn't when I first came here, that brash, impatient young man.
This is also a good thing for Loren—although I hope that Lu Wen can believe in himself 100%, it does not mean that the other party is relying on his own low energy for everything, which is too exhausting.
It was less than ten days before Sir Aaron came back. Whatever Barry Senna and his cronies want to do, it must be within ten days.
When you switch to yourself, when will you start? Loren suddenly fell into a state of thought, his dark pupils glancing around in the castle hall.
The hall is still the hall of the past, but I do n’t know why, the dark-haired wizard always has a sense of disharmony, as if there is something missing. What was supposed to be there is now gone.
"Where did Will Senna go?" Loren in contemplation said involuntarily.
"I don't know, I haven't seen anyone since last night, and I haven't seen it now." Lu Wen shook his head: "Probably something is wrong, why?"
"It's nothing, just very curious. Does anyone know where he went?" Loren asked with frowning: "It's probably fine. Did he mention what he was going to do before he left?"
"Nothing ..." The words just came out, and Lu Wen immediately understood the meaning of Loren: "You mean that he had premeditated leaving ?!"
"I'm just guessing."
Lorren readily recruited the guard knight standing outside the hall: "Go find it, and ask the servants in the castle to see who knows where Will Senna went!"
"Find a few more people and check all the nobles' rooms one by one to see if they are still in the castle-if anyone leaves, come back immediately and inform!"
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly dropped to freezing point, and Loren and Lu Wen said nothing, waiting patiently for the news sent back by the guards.
The passage of time, when the Guard Cavaliers once again opened the door, it was already noon. The forehead covered with sweat beads rushed into the hall panting, even forgot to salute Lu Wen.
"Everyone ... all are gone--!"
"what?!"
"We searched all the rooms, even the stables and houses nearby, but there was no one!" The eyes of the guard knight were also full of shock: "The grown-ups just disappeared out of thin air, but they were all gone. Now! "
Unsurprisingly ... The calm and comfortable black-haired wizard narrowed his eyes slightly ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Although the opponent's movements were surprisingly rapid, he was not unprepared and had the leeway to resist.
After all, if they really intend to kill Lu Wen while they are in chaos, they will definitely not make fun of their own lives and stay in this castle that will be attacked by the mob at any time.
"Immediately close the castle gates and order all the castle guards to gather and call back the guard knights!" Lu Wen, who had recovered from the consternation, immediately began to issue orders: "Send a messenger to the Duke of Lothal and tell him the noblemen of the deep forest We launched a rebellion and sent reinforcements as soon as possible! "
"Follow the order!"
Looking at the knight who turned and left, the breathless earl turned his gaze to Loren: "We can't wait for our father's reinforcements, or Sir Aaron, either tonight or tomorrow night, they will attack and win. Occupy Shenlinbao! "
"I'm going to call the elves right away and let them go to the castle to help defend." Loren nodded: "Although the number is not large, it should be able to play a big role-if they can block the attack of the ogre. , Presumably guarding the castle is not a problem. "
"If they are really willing to fight alongside us, and don't betray us, I will find a way to persuade my father and the elves to form an alliance." Lu Wen's expression became more determined: "Do you have any plans?"
"We have to hold the Deep Forest Castle, there is no doubt about it. But if this is the only way to wait until the battle is over, there is still no reason to arrest Barry Senna and his doglegs, leaving the castle without permission is not enough to cut their heads!"
Loren's tone was very determined: "So it is necessary to delay the time of this battle, give them traps that can be drilled in, and let them see the hope of victory."
"After all ... the snake can only be chopped off its head by drilling out of the cave!"
