A black four-wheeled carriage slowly drove into the Black Rose Manor.
The wooden wheels of the carriage rolled over the fine gray pebbles, producing a clear rustling sound.
After passing through a hundred-meter-long gravel path and turning past a circular fountain that had already dried up, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the main three-storey building.
More than ten people dressed in either grey, white or black robes were already waiting by the stone steps, bowing to the beautiful young woman who got out of the carriage.
This was a beautiful woman with outstanding looks and an impressive figure.
Her pale blonde hair made her face look as round and translucent as ivory. Below her slightly prominent nose, her deep purple lips flickered with a bewitching luster. Her eyes that were as beautiful as cat's eye reflected a gorgeous luster under the light, appearing unusually deep and eye-catching.
As a rank 3 spirit warlock of the Randner family, she did not drape her robes. Instead, she wore a pure black evening gown like a noble lady. The two snow-white lumps in front of her chest were extremely glaring, and an exquisite chest flower inlaid with fine diamonds was pinned at the top. White embroidered silk gloves were held in her hands, and her fingers that were as fair as onion tubes seemed so delicate and delicate...
"Welcome, Marilyn. Lady Mona! "
"Welcome, welcome …"
Hearing the other party's uneven welcome speech, the beautiful young woman straightened her body and swept her gaze across everyone before landing on the small building behind them.
She released a large amount of spiritual force, and in an instant, everything in the small building, as well as the interior of the Black Rose Manor, entered her mind.
The beautiful young woman could not help but frown slightly.
However, this action of frowning and sighing was so charming and moving when it was done by her. The tens of low-ranked Magi present, regardless of gender, could not help but secretly swallow their saliva. Once again, they experienced the feeling of their lips being parched and their hearts being shaken.
A few rank 1 Magi even forced themselves to lower their heads and use magic to protect their minds. Only then did they resist the terrifying urge to rush over and kneel in front of her to pledge their loyalty.
"Why are the facilities here so crude? That Grand Duke can't have such bad taste, can he …" The young, beautiful woman couldn't help but complain after looking around. "Can't you change to a better base? Do you want me to spend the night in such a crude place?"
Hearing the woman's question, the leader of the rank 2 Magi took a step forward and replied with his head lowered, "My Lady, choosing this place was not our idea. It was Lord Jia Luo's decision!"
"Jia Luo … Jia Luo … It's that bastard again. Can't he just let me have a good time …" He complained angrily. Marilyn? Meng Na walked into the building with light steps.
Many sorcerers from various families crowded around him like stars surrounding the moon.
After taking their seats in the hall on the first floor of the small building, Marilyn Mandelson sat down. Meng Na finally asked, "Where's Jia Lou? Shouldn't he be overseeing things here? "
The leader of the group stood up.
"Sir Jia Luo was originally here, but two days ago, he suddenly received orders from the family headquarters, and he left with all the Dripping Blood Pike troops …"
"Which troops are left guarding this place?"
"Ever since we entered the Elobis region, we've been constantly ambushed by the Crimson Magi. The Harpist troops are currently facing off against the Crimson Family's Magical Army a hundred miles to the east. The Toy Box troops are attacking Loshen City from the southeast. That place is guarded by the Crimson Family's Wizard Pagoda, and it'll be difficult to take it down in a short period of time. The Rock Dragon troops have been sent to the north. I heard that Emelia of the Crimson Family has already arrived at Cold Mountain City … "
"Nonsense. Half of these arrangements were personally signed by me, how could I not know … What I'm asking is, what other forces are guarding this damned manor?"
"Only the second Wizard Beast troop and our seventh Magus team … The other troops are already fighting with the Crimson Family's forces!"
According to the basic strength of the Randner family, a Wizard Beast troop meant tens of thousands of Wizard Beasts of various ranks, while a team of Magi meant fifteen low-ranked Magi of various ranks.
To be honest, using tens of thousands of Wizard Beasts and fifteen Magi to guard a lousy manor of a human noble was a waste of strength. However, considering the fact that the Crimson Duke was imprisoned here, this bit of defensive strength was necessary.
No matter how glorious and prestigious a human noble was, in the eyes of a Magus, he was nothing more than a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy. Originally, the Randner family would not treat him so seriously.
A dog would always be a dog, and would never receive the respect and equal treatment of Magi. However, once the dog's name was added with the word 'Crimson', even the arrogant Randner family had to treat him seriously, not daring to treat him lightly.
After all, within the Crimson Family, there were only five lackeys with the title of the Crimson Duke!
Under such circumstances, the status of the Crimson Duke was even higher than that of a regular grade 1 Magus, and could be compared to those grade 2 Magi.
Of course, this was only glory and status on the surface. In reality, it was obvious who was more important. The title of the Crimson Duke could be given to anyone, but he was still just a regular person. On the other hand, a grade 2 Magus was the real deal, and possessed strength that normal people could not hope to attain.
However, at this moment, the fact that the Randner family had a Crimson Duke in their hands was equivalent to giving the Crimson Family a hard slap in the face. The Crimson Family would either have to rescue him or capture a high-ranked Magus from the Randner family. Otherwise, they would lose face.
And this, to the rising Crimson Family, was precisely the most unbearable!
"Only the wizard beast troops and you?" Marilyn asked. Menna could not help but furrow her brows.
"My Lord, there shouldn't be a problem!" The grade 2 Magus in the lead was surprised, "It's just a human noble and his grade 1 Magus consultant. Is this bit of protection not enough?"
"Hmph, what do you know … This Crimson Duke is nothing in normal times, but at this time when the conflict between the two families is escalating, he represents the Crimson Family's face. The other party will definitely send someone to rescue him! "
Speaking of which, Marilyn? Meng Na was still angry, and she said hatefully, "The family's troops have already been spread out in all directions, and are currently fighting with their guards. Of course, they couldn't send a Magus army to attack this place, so they could only send a few elites … I was wondering why those bastards at the headquarters were so kind as to let me stand guard at the back. It turns out that this is the most dangerous place! Hmph … "
Do you hear Marilyn? Meng Na's explanation caused the 15 Magi of the Randner family to feel a little uneasy. However, a few of the Tier 2 Sorcerers exuding powerful auras were licking their lips, seemingly excited at the smell of blood.
"My Lord, what do you think …" the leading Tier 2 wizard asked in a low voice.
"Pass down my orders immediately. Mobilize my Enchanted Garden troops here!"
"This … Sir, this order seems to conflict with the headquarters' deployment. What if the headquarters … "
"Hmph, my spirit force can only be unleashed to its peak with their help. Those bastards from the headquarters are well aware of this. Just like that, I sent my orders back and had the troops from the Garden of Enchanted Dreams rush here through the night. If those bastards dare to refuse, don't blame me for abandoning everything here! "
"Yes … Yes … I'll contact the headquarters right away!" Hearing the rank 3 female Magus's cold reply, the male Magus hurriedly bowed his head in acknowledgment, beads of perspiration visible on his forehead.
"Alright, all of you can go make arrangements and rest! Right, send that Magus advisor to the grand duke to my room. Let me see if there's any useful information in his mind … "
"Yes!"
… …
This was a quiet and secluded large valley.
The ancient trees in the forest were tall and vigorous, and their huge canopies were like umbrellas that covered a large area of an acre. The surroundings were filled with tall mountains and ravines, and the sounds of birds and insects were endless.
* Buzz Buzz … *
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the sky.
Following that, three metal eyeballs the size of a human head flew over the sea of trees, leaving faint blue streaks in the air that slowly dissipated.
When they neared the valley, one of the metal eyeballs hovered in the air and scanned the surroundings. The remaining two eyeballs drilled into the jungle, moving up and down agilely among the ancient tree branches and thorny vines that were like a maze. Beams of light blue light shot in all directions, scanning for any suspicious signs.
The small animals in the forest immediately hid in their nests, and the forest that had been filled with birds and insects just a moment ago became deathly silent. All the animals, plants, and insects held their breaths, not daring to show their heads or make any noise.
The eyeballs passed through the forest and did not find anything out of the ordinary, so they rose back into the sky. A moment later, the three eyeballs gathered together and flew towards the nearby forest in a triangular formation.
When the eyeballs completely disappeared from sight, a large group of Magi riding magic colts tore through the illusory barrier and revealed themselves.
The one leading them was the rank 3 Magus Facesplitter Garrow, whose face was covered in stitches and looked as if it had been shattered.
He was riding on a strange magic colt that was especially tall and ferocious. He tilted his head and looked in the direction the eyeballs had disappeared in, a solemn expression on his face.
This demonic colt's appearance was especially ferocious. Its entire body was dark black, and its surface was covered in a layer of strange indigo scales. Its ferocious mouth was filled with sharp, guillotine teeth, and there were even two long fangs protruding from the front of its mouth.
