Lord Harland

Chapter 44 Return to the original owner
According to the information Li Cha obtained, Baron Sophia is only 23 years old this year.

Before going to Makholm Kingdom five years ago, he was already a three-ring magician.

Before leaving the Kingdom of Grant, the young Sophia was already a well-known magic genius in the north.

Received an invitation from the Grant Kingdom Magic Association.

In five years, according to Baron Sophia's magical talent, it is likely to advance to an intermediate magician.

Although she is a woman, Baron Sophia's combat power is estimated to be able to compete with William.

Sophia came to her door today, but she didn't know if it was an enemy or a friend.

In the situation back then, no matter what, it was Richard who stole Baron Stopa's treasure.

Now that the sufferer came to the door, Li Cha was at a loss and didn't know how to face Baron Sophia.

"Sir Richard, you should be clear about the purpose of my visit today. I hope that the Harland family can return the books of the Stopa family. As for you stealing the magic from the Stopa family collection, I represent the Stopa family. Will not pursue."

Sophia's intention was very clear, she stared at Richard, ready to wait for the Harland family's reply.

If Richard's answer does not satisfy Baron Sophia, it seems that he will turn his back on him at any time.

Li Cha knew in his heart that it was the worst choice to turn against Baron Stopa.

Of course he can choose not to admit it.

But how does the relationship between nobles get along?
It's not about what you say, it's about what you do.

Once he refused to admit it, it was equivalent to giving Baron Sophia a clear attitude.

The current strength of the Harland family is stronger than that of the Baron Stopa family.

Last year, my third uncle Bernie advanced to a fourth-tier professional and was promoted to the deputy captain of the Sixth Brigade of the Northern Army.

Counting Richard and Roland, the Harland family has four mid-level professionals.

Coupled with the foreign aid of Uncle Soros, the two families clashed, and the Harland family had a better chance of winning.

But in a special area like northern Xinjiang, nobility would not easily clash with their neighbors.

The orcs of Northern Xinjiang invaded every few years, and the noble territories were often lost.

Neighbors can't do it well, and they have formed enmity, which makes it difficult to cooperate when war breaks out.

Once there is a conflict between the lords, they will often refuse to save them, or even stumble behind their backs.

In the end, both sides suffer, and often no one can keep the territory, which makes the orcs cheaper.

"Baron Stopa's collection is in Black River Fort. The badge, magic book, and breathing method are all in my hands. Baron Sophia can take these things away at any time. I am very sorry for this matter. In the future, the Harland family will I am willing to let the Stoppard family copy a copy of the other magical heritage.

We are neighbors, I hope we can turn enemies into friends. "

Hearing Richard's answer, Baron Sophia was quite satisfied.

Today, the Barony of Stopa has a population of less than 2000.

These populations are all slaves purchased by Sophia.

The Stopa Territory has a complete castle and cultivated fields. Compared with the Harland family, production is easier to resume.

In order to defend the territory, Sophia recruited soldiers from the slaves and formed a squadron of private troops.

But she didn't have breathing techniques in her hands, and she didn't have qualified officers, and she didn't have the skills to resume production, and she lost the family's collection of books.

All kinds of problems came one after another, which made it difficult for Sophia to deal with.

At this moment, Sophia overheard that Li Cha next door used healing spells to heal the injured slave.

The magic book lost by the Stopa family contained two spells of treating minor injuries and treating minor injuries.

When the orcs invaded, Li Cha was stationed in a nearby castle.

There were various indications that Li Cha was the one who took away the family's library. She had doubts in her heart, and immediately decided to come to Harland's territory to meet Li Cha.

If Li Cha doesn't admit it, she's going to give Li Cha a fireball.

Then he took action to catch Richard, whether it was negotiating with William, or suing the noble court, charging the Harland family with theft, and taking the initiative in his own hands.

Even if he offended the Harland family, he would not hesitate.

What's more, capturing Li Cha and taking back the Silver Wolf Breathing Method can not only train soldiers, but also solve a lot of troubles in production with the handicraft books treasured at home.

Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly, Li Cha directly admitted to stealing the book collection, and was willing to compensate for the loss.

Such an attitude has exceeded Baron Sophia's expectations.

Baron Sophia knew that the Harland family had just been promoted to a hereditary baron, so they didn't have much background, and it was impossible to have any precious books.

But this kind of first-generation military hereditary baron is best at war.

Gaining the goodwill and favor of the Harland family, being in the northern border where wars are frequent, is very important to the security of the Stopa family's territory.

Li Cha returned the blue badge he was carrying with him to Sophia, and then returned the original magic book.

After getting the magic book, Li Cha copied two copies very early.

One was given to sister Wendy, and the other was kept in the family library.

Richard asked his younger sister Wendy to copy the books in Baron Stopa's collection according to their importance.

It was this work that Wendy did most of the last year.

In a whole year, more than half of the Stopa family's book collection has been transcribed, and the investment in paper and ink alone is as much as 200 gold coins.

The original books brought from Fort Vic are useless to the Harland family.

"Turning an enemy into a friend?
Our two families are neither enemies nor friends.How can we talk about turning an enemy into a friend?
Could it be that the Harland family is willing to be friends with our Stopa family? "

"Of course, we are willing to be friends with all the nobles nearby."

The two exchanged a few words of courtesy, and Baron Sophia took the badge and the magic book, and planned to go to Black River Castle with Richard in a few days to take back the library of the Stopa family.

Sophia was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Li Cha.

"There are some broken hives here, and there are some unhatched bee eggs inside. I wonder if it will be useful to your family?"

Richard took out the purple-headed peak hives he picked up from Vickburg from the house, and showed Sophia.

Sophia took these broken hives, observed them carefully for a while, and used the life detection spell.Immediately, he couldn't hide a smile on his face and said: "The remaining bee eggs still have vitality. After using the life spell, there should be some chances to activate the bee eggs."

Li Cha knows that insects have extremely strong vitality, and many insect eggs can be hidden in the soil for more than ten years, waiting for a suitable hatching time.

The purple-headed peak bee queen is still a first-order monster, and the eggs it lays are very special. After reading the collection of Baron Stopa's house, Li Cha knows that the purple-headed peak bee eggs are also a kind of precious medicine, which can be used to detoxify.

Especially snake venom and scorpion venom, most of them can be removed with bee eggs.

Knowing the preciousness of this thing, Li Cha will treasure the eggs until now.

Let the sufferer come to the door today, making Li Cha very embarrassed.When Sophia was about to leave, Li Cha was a little reluctant to return the bee eggs to their original owners.
