Chapter 159 Incidents
Backlund, Hall Family Manor

In the early morning, the old butler of the Hall family, after instructing the servants to start the day's work step by step, came to Backlund Bank with the "Harvest Constellation" greeting card.

The Hall family is very powerful and famous in the Loen Kingdom. The chefs and tutors hired by the family must be very famous in Backlund, not to mention the old housekeeper who has worked in the Hall family for decades. He is very well-connected in the city of Backlund and has an intricate network of relationships.

The old housekeeper directly found the bank president and asked him to send the greeting card to Tingen through the banknote train and send it to Tingen under the strictest security standards.

Less than an hour later, the steam train carrying the "Harvest Constellation" greeting cards headed for Tingen. In addition to the greeting cards, the train also carried at least three thousand pounds of gold, silver, jewelry, checks and other expensive items.

……

Since being promoted to "Wizard", Chris has been trying to play "Wizard" and analyzing its playing rules.

Wearing a classical robe during the action was just "acting" in a literal sense. Chris could feel the feeling of the potion being digested, but it was minimal.

At this moment, he was walking in the countryside in the afternoon, looking for materials that could be made into magic powder, and looking for any villagers who needed help.

Chris ignored the strange looks from other passers-by and casually pulled up a few grasses from the ground and picked a few flowers. The most common flowers and plants also have unique characteristics. It just depends on whether people can discover and make full use of them.

After wandering all morning and collecting a lot of materials, Chris felt a little thirsty. He knocked on the door of a random house and prepared to ask for a glass of water.

The person who opened the door was an elderly woman. She looked Chris up and down, her eyes alert, and asked:
"who are you?"

"I just want a drink of water."

Chris showed a kind smile, expressing his kindness, but his clothes looked like heresy in front of the woman.

"No--"

The woman closed the door with a bang, and then a shout came from the yard:
"Shut up, Gretna! If you don't shut up, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Chris rolled his eyes and felt that he had something to do, and then he also shouted outside:
"I might be able to help!"

There was silence in the courtyard for a while. The woman opened the door and said suspiciously:

"Wizards don't ask me for water. It's not like I haven't seen people like you before!"

Chris bent down to salute and said with a smile:

"No results, no charge. My beautiful lady, how can I help you?"

As he spoke, he was about to take the woman's hand. The latter hid her hand behind her back in disgust and said:
"You don't look like a wizard, you look like a knight. Come in, you might be able to cure this crazy girl."

Chris followed the woman to the courtyard. There were thick dead leaves piled up in the corner of the courtyard, and several shallow ravines could be seen on the ground.

The woman opened the door. On the yellowed wooden bed, a girl with disheveled hair was huddled in the corner, hugging her legs and shivering. She was afraid of Chris's appearance.

After taking Chris to see her, the woman closed the door and explained:
"That's her, Gretna, a crazy girl, and everyone around her knows her."

"Ah, help me——"

As soon as the door closed, Gretna shouted, her voice was miserable and shrill, as if she was crying and laughing at the same time.

"Listen," the woman continued helplessly, "even if she can be quiet for 10 minutes, I will thank the goddess for her gift."

"She, Gretna, what happened to her?" Chris asked.

Before the woman could speak, there was shouting outside the house, and a tall, strong man burst into the yard with several equally young men.

"What's wrong with that crazy woman? She needs..."

The strong man stopped in front of Chris and raised the wooden stick in his hand:

"What are you looking at? Don't block the road. I'm going to knock her out!"

"Who to knock unconscious?" Chris stood in front of him and asked doubtfully.

Knock out the trembling girl just now?She obviously has no power to restrain a chicken, so why are these people so scared?But the woman next to him is not afraid at all?
"Knock out Gretna, she is a witch!" the man shouted, "get out of my way!"

Seeing that Chris was still blocking the front, he waved his hand, and the men behind him strode towards Chris.

Chris looked at their many patched coarse cloth coats and trousers and wondered who they were.

Is it a thug?
The leading man raised his fist and punched him in the face, but he had no idea of ​​Chris' strength.

The large robe did not have any impact on Chris's movements. He directly raised his hand and grasped the man's fist.

In the realm of extraordinary people, the gap between ordinary people and extraordinary people is already very wide, not to mention that the Sequence 8 of the "Secret Peeper" is also called "Fighting Scholar".

Chris has reached Sequence 7, and his "Fighting Scholar" ability has been strengthened in all aspects.

When a strong man punches, Chris instinctively analyzes his corresponding attack style from the speed and angle of his punch.The analysis showed that he had not received systematic boxing or fighting training.

"what--"

There was a crisp sound from the man's wrist, and he fell to his knees in front of Chris, who was guarding against others who might rush forward, only to find that they were all frozen in place.

"What are you doing?!" the woman shouted in panic, "He is Dorne's son!"

Dorne?

One of the three members of the Trappist Order of Morse?His own subordinates?

Chris let go of his hand and looked at him carefully, and his face was indeed somewhat similar.

Little Dorn clenched his fists and was kneeling on the ground with a painful expression on his face, but suddenly he raised his head and took out a knife from his arms.

Of course, Chris didn't give him any chance. He hit his knee and the sharp, gleaming blade flew several meters away.

"Who is he?"

Chris thought to himself that his plan to play the "wizard" must have been ruined, and now he could only think about whether he could solve the problems he was currently facing.

Who is the "witch" in the women's mouth, Gretna, and why did Little Dawn knock her out.

"Aren't you a wizard? Why don't you even know this?"

The woman's expression was slightly complicated. She took a few steps back and closed the open door, weakening Gretna's deep sobs in the room.

Chris could clearly hear her sobbing, and in a few words, she seemed to be telling her unfortunate and tragic experience.

He shrugged:

"Wizards are not omnipotent."

"You've caused big trouble," a short, treacherous-looking man behind Little Dorn threatened. "Haven't you heard of the famous wizard Dorn? You fake!"

Chris curled his lips and did not answer the question.

"Let's go, young man!" the woman whispered, "He cured us of our insomnia and hallucinations a few days ago! He can communicate with the gods!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an elderly man with gray hair on his temples came out from outside. He was wearing a robe that was even more exaggerated than what Chris was wearing.The cuffs of the robe appear to be gilded, and complex patterns are carved on the chest, front and back.

Donn glanced down at his son who was half kneeling on the ground, waved his hands dissatisfied, and asked others to help him aside.

He turned back and stared at Chris, his arrogant eyes immediately turned into fear:
"Mr. Witcher..."
