Catch Dual-bladed Mask?
There was a commotion on the city wall when they heard the shouts of the knights.
Did River Beach City send out Punishment Knights?
Wasn't this too much?
The disciplinary paladins were the military force directly under the chief wizard group. They had a much stronger combat power than the patrol team.
There were less than 20 Punishment Knights in River Beach City, but each of them was at least at the peak of grade two.
Three of these fellows were dispatched?
This was not even enough to catch the cultists …
Everyone in the Thorns Squad had a strange look on their faces. Gru looked directly at Cat's Head.
Cat's Head was calm, but he was sneering in his heart.
Of course, he would listen to Dual-bladed Mask's threat. But even if he had someone behind him, the Lord he worked for had a high status.
He was willing to take a gamble!
He naturally did not want to participate in the game between the upper echelons of River Beach City. But if he could get a big reward for informing them, why not?
As for Dual-bladed Mask's revenge, what a joke. Dual-bladed Mask was strong, but under the siege of three Punishment Knights, did he have any hope of escaping?
The answer was, of course, no!
Thinking of this, he could not help but show a proud look.
But at this moment, his eyelids suddenly twitched!
Where was Dual-bladed Mask?
He was just standing here a moment ago. How did he suddenly disappear?
Before Cat's Head could react, a weak but firm voice sounded from the depths of the castle.
"Punishment Knights? Are all of you free now? "
"Where were you when my White River Valley was occupied by the Gnolls?"
"Where did the oath you made when you pledged loyalty to the Wizard Alliance go?"
"The White River Valley is my territory. You trespassed into my territory and wanted to catch someone in my territory? This is a serious violation of the Wizard Alliance's regulations! "
"Your behavior has seriously offended me! I don't know who ordered you to do this, but now, please get out of my territory! "
Each sentence was harsher than the last.
On the city wall, a thin and pale young man walked out. He looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness.
It was as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
However, his body was straight and his voice was loud and clear. The three knights below the castle could hear it clearly!
Their faces changed!
…
"My Lord!"
"My Lord!"
"My Lord, when did you come back?!"
The members of the Garrison Guard Team were boiling with excitement!
They thought that Ma Wen was still waiting for their good news in River Beach City.
He did not expect that Marvin had already returned to the castle without him noticing!
When Cat Head saw Ma Wen appear, he secretly cursed in his heart.
This little noble had such a meticulous mind!
He must have been following us and sneaked into the castle under the cover of Anna and the others!
As for the dual-blade mask, he must have let him go!
Now it was over!
Farne's mind went blank. With his nimble mind, he could already guess what was going to happen next!
…
That's right, Ma Wen was a small noble who had fallen from grace.
But nobles were still nobles.
When he was in River Beach City, he became penniless because he lost his territory. Even gangs and casinos dared to bully him.
This was also the reason why the City Hall dared to fool him. If you couldn't even protect your own territory, so what if you were a noble?
River Beach City wasn't your territory, you had no authority.
But White River Valley was different.
This was Ma Wen's territory!
Ma Wen had a high degree of autonomy over this land. This authority was given by the Southern Wizard Alliance.
Anyone who tried to challenge the autonomy of a noble's territory would be regarded as a provocation to the Southern Wizard Alliance!
No one dared to do so!
Even the Punishment Knights, who had a high status in River Beach City, were the same.
One had to know that White River Valley and River Beach City didn't have a direct relationship. White River Valley was completely independent. Even if it was a warrant from the City Lord of River Beach, Ma Wen could choose to ignore it!
This was because this piece of land was built by his grandfather, a high-grade wizard. The Southern Wizard Alliance would guarantee Ma Wen's basic authority!
With the supreme ruling power of the wizards, at least for now, no one dared to take risks for a little profit.
The three Punishment Knights were dumbfounded.
The lord behind them seemed to have underestimated the little Baron of White River Valley.
Not only was he not as weak as the rumors said, but he was also very tough!
They had already broken a taboo by barging in without Ma Wen's permission.
It was impossible to arrest someone in White River Valley without Ma Wen's permission!
The three of them looked at each other, feeling a little angry.
But there was no other way. With their strength, even if the castle gates were closed, they could still kill their way in. Not to mention the Lynx Squad working together.
But they didn't dare.
This was the majesty of a lord!
The source of it was the supreme power of the wizards in this era!
Since the cataclysm hadn't arrived, Ma Wen could totally use his connections to intimidate others!
…
The three Punishment Knights were silent for a while. Finally, one of them shouted, "Baron Ma Wen, Dual-bladed Mask, a very dangerous wanted criminal …"
His words were interrupted by Ma Wen, "I didn't see an official wanted order in the Riverbank City Hall!"
"I only saw an anonymous wanted order in the major guilds. Anyone can do this kind of order as long as they have money, right? In my opinion, Mr. Dual-bladed Mask is completely targeted by a wealthy enemy. "
"But I don't care about these things. You can go to other places to see Dual-bladed Mask and try to catch him. "
"But in my territory, he is not guilty. He is not guilty. He is welcomed by me, just like any other commoner, craftsman, or businessman. "
Speaking of this, Ma Wen pretended to cough violently for a while, then said sternly, "Please leave!"
"We have just cleaned up the Gnolls, and there are still many things to take care of."
"At my most critical moment, the Riverbank City Hall did not give me any help."
"So, from now on, the White River Valley does not welcome any official personnel of Riverbank City!"
As soon as this was said, everyone suddenly burst into an uproar!
Even Anna showed a look of surprise!
Ma Wen's words were tantamount to breaking off relations with Riverbank City!
This was not a joke. Other things were fine, but in terms of food, the White River Valley bought from Riverbank City every year!
After breaking off relations, how would the food problem be solved? How would the trade problem be solved?
These were huge problems.
"My Lord …" Anna couldn't help but want to say something.
Ma Wen waved his hand and pretended to be angry, "I have made my decision."
"Now, I'm going to rest."
"If those three people refuse to leave, I will use the [September Medal] once and apply for an arbitrator from the Wizard Alliance."
After saying this, he silently left.
Leaving a bunch of people on the city wall stunned.
The adventurers showed different expressions, and Gru breathed a sigh of relief. He was willing to bet that the dual-blade mask should still be in the castle.
With such a tough attitude from Baron Ma Wen, the three Punishment Paladins would never dare to break in.
Sure enough, after hearing that Ma Wen was going to use the [September Medal], the three Punishment Paladins immediately darkened their faces and left without saying a word.
They had no choice. They could only report this matter to the higher-ups.
The three Paladins were all furious. They thought it was a small matter, but they didn't expect this little noble to be so tough.
This was something they didn't expect.
But thinking about it carefully, it was said that this little noble had suffered a lot in Riverbank City, and it was not surprising that he hated the law enforcement officers of Riverbank City.
…
"Since the task has been completed, our team should also leave."
Farne smiled at Anna with an ugly expression.
He didn't know if the dual-blade mask had already noticed that he was the one who leaked the information, but it was obviously not a good idea to stay in the castle for long.
It was better to hurry back to Riverbank City.
"If the dual-blade mask really found out …"
At the thought of this, Farne felt a chill down his spine. Yesterday, Marvin had fought against 60 Gnolls and a Gnoll Warlock by himself, and he had seen it with his own eyes.
Although his team was well-equipped and had strong combat power, compared to Marvin … it was not even worth mentioning.
Of course, he never thought that Ma Wen was so strong because of drugs. He thought that Ma Wen had hidden his strength.
"Of course, you're welcome to visit the White River Valley next time."
Anna smiled lightly and let the Lynx Squad go.
This was Ma Wen's intention. Although he didn't know what Master Ma Wen was planning, he would just do as he was told.
Anyway, since that serious illness, Master Ma Wen didn't seem to have made a wrong decision.
The Lynx Squad left the castle.
As night fell, the castle seemed a little lonely and deserted. After all, apart from the guards, there were only a few people.
Most of the territory's residents were still in the countryside. Tomorrow morning, Anna would send someone to bring those people back.
At that time, the reconstruction of the White River Valley would begin.
However, under the night sky, in Ma Wen's study, Gru, the captain of the Thorns Squad, sat anxiously at the desk.
The seemingly thin and weak Ma Wen pretended to show a trace of surprise, "Is what you said true? But Mr. Dual-blade Mask, he really left? "
"He said that the solution to your daughter's plague is in my study?"
Gru nodded heavily. He remembered very clearly what the Double Blade Mask had said.
"Ah, that's good. I'll look through first to see if there are any records about the Black Ganoderma. Don't worry, according to what you said, your daughter still has some time. I hope I can find relevant books during this time. "
"Thank you, Sir Baron!"
Gru showed his gratitude.
He left the room.
After a while, Anna walked out from the side door and asked calmly, "Why not save his daughter?"
Ma Wen smiled silently, "I will."
"But not now."
Of course not now. The Black Ganoderma was an experiment of the God of Plague. If it was removed too early, the God of Plague would target it.
Ma Wen wasn't afraid of the gods, but he wasn't stupid enough to directly make enemies.
Moreover, he had too many things to do now.
The first thing was the problem of food.
