Miss Witch, please respect yourself

Chapter 24 See you in the picture!

Looking at the place where the ice witch Ais disappeared, Red's body subconsciously tensed up.

Even if the Ice Witch disappeared right in front of his eyes, he still couldn't observe how the other party left.

The gap is so large that it makes people feel desperate.

There is a natural and irreparable gap between the witch and the knight.

But soon, Red calmed down, but the idea of ​​mastering the secret technique of breathing became more urgent in his heart.

He didn't want to be able to fight against the witch, he just wanted to buy even one more second for Master Roy in case of a conflict with the witch.

Roy naturally didn't know what was going on in Red's mind.

After he returned to the room, he practiced the breathing method while thinking silently.

Through the interrogation of the Shadow Witch, he obtained key information-the real identity of the person behind the scenes is Lord Denham, Lord of Iron Mountain.

The identity of the service witch is not a secret. As long as you inquire carefully, you can easily know the information about the service witch of the Iron Mountain Territory—Vivian, the light witch. When he asked Red for the territory information, he had some information. learn.

It is said that Vivian, the Witch of Light, can create a dazzling light source, and can manipulate light to form weapons, and her combat effectiveness is considered outstanding among serving witches.

Unlike the Healing Witch Shanika, the Light Witch Vivian was not highly polluted when she was dispatched to the Iron Mountain Territory, but now she is on the verge of getting out of control.

It can be seen how much Lord Denham has "squeezed" her over the years.

In fact, lords at the lord level do not necessarily have witches serving in their territories. As far as Roy knows, among the four territories around Blackstone Territory, only Blackstone Territory and Iron Mountain Territory have serving witches.

Knowing the identity of the person behind the scenes, how to act next is a problem.

Please, the Ice Witch, get rid of "Lord Iron Mountain Lord Denham"?
Undoubtedly, this is not difficult.

But what about after removing it?

"Lord of Iron Mountain Lord Denham" is a nobleman recognized by the empire. If he died at the hands of a witch, the nature would be completely different.

Previously, Ice Witch Ace was only hunted down by the temple. The Empire neither supported nor opposed it, and her attitude was rather ambiguous. But if the Ice Witch really killed "Lord of the Iron Mountain Lord Denham", Then the empire had to take action.

It is true that Ais, the Ice Witch, is very powerful, but it is not true that there are no powerful existences above silver in the temple and the empire. They have not been dispatched before, just because these strong people have other important things on them, and there is no warning. Prepare to estimate the true strength of the Ice Witch.

And after the Ice Witch's "Battle of Fame" more than two months ago, the empire and the temple made another move, and it would definitely not be a small fight.

There must be a powerful knight of the gold level to make a move!Even for the sake of stability, there may be more than one!
As a result, Ice Witch Ais and Fox-Eared Witch Irina will fall into a huge crisis.

And such a situation is definitely not what Roy wants to see.

He wanted to get rid of the man behind the scenes, "Lord of the Iron Mountain, Lord Denham", instead of hurting both sides and cutting off his own arm.

Therefore, it is the best strategy to let the ice witch Ais take action.

There are only two combat powers that Blackstone can attack outside, one is the bronze knight Reid, and the other is the healing witch Shanika.

But the former is not strong enough. Although the two-star bronze knight is not weak, it is simply a dream to go deep into the Iron Mountain Territory and get rid of "Lord of Iron Mountain Lord Denham" by himself.

As for the latter, although Shanika's magic power is not weak, her ability is healing, which is an auxiliary talent, and does not have a strong frontal combat ability.

Therefore, neither of them is suitable for the assassination operation.

So if you want to eradicate "Lord of the Iron Mountain Lord Denham", you must find another way.

Regarding this, Roy had two thoughts in mind.

The first is to use some kind of "reason" to lead "Lord Iron Mountain Lord Denham" out of the territory.As long as Lord Denham is killed in a corner that no one knows about, even if the temple and the empire have the means to distinguish whether the murderer is a witch, they will have no way to use it.

The second way is to let him do it himself.With the help of the talent [Infinite Desire], his strength has progressed beyond everyone's imagination. As long as he is given enough time, he will have a strength far surpassing that of Lord Denham.

Of the two approaches, Roy prefers the former.

The time required for the latter is not necessarily the same. What's more, in addition to physical strength, in order to have enough combat power, he also needs to practice weapons, which takes longer.And the people behind the scenes may not necessarily give him so much time.

And speaking of the first method...

A light flashed in Roy's mind.

He got up quickly and turned back to the secret place of the treasure room.

After all the treasures were taken away by him, this secret place is perfect as a place to hide the witch, whether it is used as the residence of the ice witch Ais and the fox-eared witch Irina in the future, or the current shadow witch Lilia. cell.

The semi-illusory door reappeared and solidified again. Seeing Roy walking in, the dim light in the eyes of Shadow Witch Lilia re-lighted: "Master Roy, are you willing to give me a high-purity magic crystal? I... ..."

Before Lilia's eager words could finish, Roy raised his hand to interrupt. He looked at Lilia with a faint smile on his face: "Miss Lilia, are you willing to make a deal with me?"

……

The night passed quickly.

The next day at dawn, at ten o'clock in the morning, Red, who was trying out the secret technique of breathing in the training ground, received an urgent message from his knights.

A knight from the Iron Mountain Territory came to visit and claimed to have brought the "Declaration of War" from the Lord of Iron Mountain, Lord Denham!
To be precise, the full name of the "Declaration of War" is "Declaration of Territory Merger Battle".

Hearing this word, Reid's pupils shrank, he waved the knight back, then quickly went to Roy's room and reported the matter to him.

Under Red's explanation, Roy also understood what the so-called "territory merger battle declaration" was.

In the imperial law, there are two ways to deal with the territory that loses the lord.One is that the empire directly reclaims it, and then grants it to a brand new nobleman.The other is that the lords of the territories near the territory can carry out the "territory merger" by paying a certain amount of "territory gold" to the empire, and with the guarantee of at least a big noble above the earl.

There are three processes for "territory merger":

[-]. The declared war territory issued a "territory merger battle declaration" to the knights of the declared war territory who lost their lord.

[-]. After the declaration is issued, the knights of the former lord's family in the declared war territory have three days to prepare, and then the declared war territory will launch a "merge battle".

[-]. If the knights in the declared war territory fail to resist, it means that the territory will belong to the declared war territory from now on and be merged into the territory of the declared war territory.

And if the knights of the declared war territory succeed in resisting, or even defeat the declared war territory, then the "territory merger" will fail, or even be "reversely merged".

But can a territory that has lost its lord really be able to resist a well-prepared and menacing territory that declares war?
The answer is obvious.
