Ren Xiaosu did not know that while he was still laughing and joking, the two Sheepmen had already sentenced him to death in their hearts.
In the eyes of Sheep Li Chenggong and Liu Ting, the dream of becoming a wizard was their lifelong pursuit. If they could not become wizards in this life and could not see the magnificent and wonderful world, then what was the point of living?
Ren Xiaosu did not know how much impact his five slaps had on the Berkley family, or even the whole wizard organization.
Just as Chen Cheng and Anan realized how important it was to recite spells under pressure, the Berkley family, which was ready to launch a war at any time, could certainly realize the key point.
Wizards were used to living like princes, so they had many bad habits, but wizards were not stupid!
Now that there was a kind of witchcraft that could remotely interrupt wizards' spellcasting, all wizards must immediately be vigilant.
At this time, in the Vaduz Cathedral, the Grand Wizard had gradually come to his senses. Ren Xiaosu did not hit him too hard, so apart from losing two teeth, there was not much impact on him.
Moreover, the lost teeth were all wisdom teeth, so they would not leak air when speaking.
The Grand Wizard had been suffering from toothache for many years because of his wisdom teeth, and now it could be considered a blessing in disguise, although he did not think so himself.
The Grand Wizard sat at the end of the long table in the cathedral's conference room. In the conference room, there were oil paintings of the previous masters of the Berkley family. The heroic masters seemed to be watching everyone in the conference room.
The Grand Wizard said, "This matter is the shame of the Berkley family. Although the current public opinion is in our favor, and the ordinary people have also set off feelings of hatred towards the Tudor family and the Norman family, everyone here must understand that this slap is absolutely not a miracle. The Norman family and the Tudor family must have sensed something and want to destroy the foundation of our faith in the six southern counties in advance!"
The little wizards on both sides of the long table bowed their heads in silence. They knew that this was not the time for them to talk.
It was definitely not Ren Xiaosu's intention to trigger so many associations with just five slaps, but this was not Ren Xiaosu's fault. The timing was just too coincidental.
Seeing that the Berkley family was about to launch a war, the Berkley family was in a highly tense state at this critical moment, and they would analyze the slightest movement.
What's more, Ren Xiaosu's actions during the worship ceremony were no longer as simple as the wind rustling the grass. He was practically stirring up trouble!
The Great Warlock continued, "Jock, order someone to quickly send word to Berkeley County. The master must know everything that has happened here immediately."
"Yes, Master Lucas." The wizard named Jock nodded.
The Great Wizard's full name was Lucas Berkeley.
The Grand Wizard looked at another wizard. "Have the leader of the Burning Knights come see me. Before the head of the family makes his decision, we need to turn the entire Vaduz Prefecture upside down. We must find the wizard who cast the spell and find out everything about it."
The little wizard replied, "Yes, Lord Lucas."
The Great Wizard asked, "Has the castle been sealed?"
"It has been sealed," the little wizard replied: "But Lord Lucas, a caravan left Vaduz this morning. They have the family's Golden Lion emblem on their hands."
Lucas thought for a moment and said, "Don't make this matter public. I know the situation of this caravan. They have a more important mission."
"Understood, Lord Lucas." The wizard sighed in relief. He was really a little afraid that the murderer was in this caravan.
The Great Wizard said to the other two wizards, "You two have to deal with what happened today, including the public opinion within the Burning Knights. You have to understand that faith is the sword in our hands. If the Burning Knights lose their faith, then we won't be able to win this war!"
"Yes, Lord Lucas." The wizard replied.
At this time, it was the most important topic. Lucas said, "In this matter, we can't only look at the bad side. We also have to think of the good side. The enemy's trump card has been exposed. It would have been more surprising to use it on the battlefield, but it was used before the war. This kind of spell that can interrupt spellcasting from a distance requires us to be vigilant. Jock, you also have to report this to the head of the family. We have to carry out special training for all wizards before the war to ensure that the spell will not be interrupted. "
…
It was not only the Berkeley family who became vigilant. Almost at the same time, all the spies in the Vaduz Castle spread the news by means of carrier pigeons. To be on the safe side, someone even released five carrier pigeons at once, just to send the same message: a new spell, 'face-slapping', had appeared. This spell could interrupt the chanting of spells from a distance, making it impossible to guard against it. Be careful!
Among them, the Norman family and the Tudor family had the most efficient means of communication. They had mastered spells that could transmit messages.
After the Norman family released the spell, they talked through the mirror, just like video chat before the Cataclysm.
This family had wizards who were responsible for communicating with spies. They would open the mirror every night to collect information, and the spies only needed to wait in front of the mirror for the mirror to open.
The Tudor family was not bad either. They also had wizards who were responsible for intelligence. However, the outside world only knew that the spies of the Tudor family used alchemy copper coins to send messages, but they did not know the principle of witchcraft.
It was foreseeable that not only the wizards of the Berkeley family would start the special training, but almost all the other families who received the news would also start this kind of training.
After all, it was too embarrassing to be interrupted, and no one wanted to repeat the mistakes of the Great Wizards.
As for how to train … no one had thought about it yet.
Some people joked in private, "Why don't we start by slapping each other and chanting until we can't stop slapping each other …"
Of course, such words could not be said in public, or people would definitely think that they were stupid.
But there was one thing that had to be mentioned. After the warlocks started their intensive and devilish training, Ren Xiaosu had single-handedly raised the combat awareness and combat standards of the entire warlock organization by slapping them five times in the face.
The Burning Knight Regiment of the Berkeley family began to assemble, and a large number of military supplies from the six southern counties gathered in Vaduz County. Food, civilian workers, and all logistics supplies entered the preparation stage.
Soon, the head of the Berkeley family also arrived in Vaduz County. Starting from here, they would use the four counties controlled by the Winst family as the forward base, and start the real northern expedition.
A full-scale civil war in the wizard country had begun. However, no one could have imagined that the beginning of this war was just because someone had nothing better to do, so he gently touched the history in front of the cathedral … five times.
