Xiao Muzi looked at the baron who was singing and enjoying himself, and fell into deep thought. This guy... couldn't he be a fool? What kind of curse did he put on the master...

However, it was not appropriate to continue to be so reserved. After another inner struggle, Xiao Muzi said, "In addition to grapes, I have another condition.

De La Serre, if you promise me, I am willing to obey my master's last wish and follow you wholeheartedly from now on without a single complaint."

"Just based on the position your master holds in my heart, I will try my best to fulfill any of your requests, not just one. Just tell me!"

"Master said that witches of all generations will die alone. This is the price of using powerful witchcraft. If you want to avoid this fate, you must possess the Witch God's Apocalypse Wand to be free."

Hearing this, the baron seemed to know Xiao Muzi's request and asked tentatively: "Do you want me to help you find the Apocalypse Wizard Staff?"

Xiao Muzi shook his head and explained: "To be precise, it's not found, it's taken away. I know where the Apocalypse Wizard Staff is."

"where?"

“Inside a woman named Lonnie the Queen. Rather than saying inside, she is actually the incarnation of the Apocalypse Wizard Staff.

My master sacrificed his life by using the Technique of Saving Life, but this move could only save one person.

She tried to change her fate and save you two. That’s why she had to sacrifice the Apocalypse Witch Staff as well…”

The Baron was confused. Is this so metaphysical?

So he asked, "You said it was inside her body, and then you said she was the incarnation, so how can I take her away?"

"Kill." Xiao Muzi said lightly.

"Absolutely not!"

"Then I won't go with you."

"If you don't leave, you'll rot here! I can't possibly hurt her."

"What's her relationship with you? Why are you so protective of her?"

The baron was stunned and just answered: "She... I think we are more than just good friends. Anyway, I will never hurt the friendly people around me."

"Have you thought it through, De Lacel? I think you understand how much advantage my magic and witchcraft can help you gain in future wars."

"Very clearly. Absolutely not." The Baron answered word by word with great force.

[System prompt: Your friendship with the genius wizard Xiao Muzi +50, the current friendship is 100. ]

[Extra Reward: Congratulations on reaching a friendship level of 100 with the genius wizard Xiao Muzi. I will give you a special helmet, the voodoo hat.]

Before De La Serre could react, Xiao Muzi stood up and bowed deeply to him, then said: "This is my last test for you, congratulations on passing it. Please take care of me in the future~"

"Uh... then what about pumping Royal Ronnie?"

"I'm kidding you. There is no such thing as an apocalyptic wizard's wand. Oh, my master specifically told me to give you this hat when I see you again. Here it is."

The Baron took the special helmet, the voodoo hat, with both hands.

[System prompt: The equipment bar is missing an item - an ordinary linen headscarf.]

"Little Muzi? Does this hat have any special function?" The Baron was very curious.

"The secret cannot be revealed. There will be great things in the future. Okay, let's go~"

Seeing that Xiao Muzi didn't want to explain for the time being, De Lassel didn't ask any more questions. He would know the answer sooner or later anyway.

Then, after saying goodbye to Harry Pitt and Ruoshui, the Baron took Xiao Muzi, rode on Red Blood, and rushed to the town of Uxhall.

While on the way, the Baron was secretly communicating with the system in his mind, asking the system to help scan Xiao Muzi to see what her attributes were.

【Genius Wizard Xiao Muzi】

[Current character status: full level, strength 10, agility 10, wisdom 50, charm 25. ]

[Possessing skills: Tactics 8. ]

[Evaluation: No training required. You have already experienced special events and special characters before joining the team. You can use it right away. It's fun. ]

De La Serre was really shocked when he saw her attributes and skills, and asked the system in his heart: This little girl is actually the super military strategist of "Tactics 8"! ?

I only have Tactics 1, so is this skill of mine just for show? It's totally useless!

[System prompt: There will always be a time when your little girl is not around to assist you. At that time, you can only rely on yourself. ]

What a joke! I will definitely take her with me if we encounter a big war next time, hahaha!

[System prompt: Please note that Xiao Muzi is already at the maximum level and will never be able to develop the ability to ride a horse alone. He is always at risk of falling behind on the battlefield.]

Well... this is something that needs attention. Thank you for reminding the system.

As the two of them were on their way back to the town of Uxhall, Xiao Muzi took the initiative to ask, "Uncle, please tell me the military details in the town."

"It's so ugly to call me uncle. Everyone calls me Baron or De La Serre."

"I insist on calling you uncle, please let me know."

"You stubborn kid... Well, let me tell you this! There are only two siege engines left in my town, and no other soldiers."

Xiao Muzi couldn't believe her ears. She asked, "Not a single soldier? What about your financial situation?"

"We have a lot of money, including hundreds of thousands of gold dinars! Actually, regarding the soldiers..." The baron was about to explain in detail but was interrupted.

"Okay, uncle, you don't have to continue. I will help you solve the problem of soldiers and exclusive private troops. Just don't worry about the money when the time comes."

"No problem. I'll leave it to you."

"Aren't you afraid that I might mess up?"

"I trust you."

"Hmm, okay~"

The baron answered like this, but in his heart he was actually thinking: If I didn't know about your "Tactics 8", I would never be able to rest assured in my life...

After all, in De Lassel's opinion, Xiao Muzi is a bad boy who loves to sleep in and is grumpy when he wakes up... and maybe he also has the shortcoming of being greedy and having a special liking for grapes.

Since the Red Blood Horse ran extremely fast, it didn't take the two of them long to return to the town of Uxhall.

The guard who had been rude earlier saw his master coming back and went up to greet him: "Good morning, my distinguished master."

The Baron remembered that he was a talkative person, so he didn't chat with him much. He just nodded and went inside.

But the guard saw his master walking away and whispered: There has been no enemy attack since he left. Now that he is back, there will definitely be chaos one after another! Maybe there will be a war soon...

When the Baron once again, yes once again, returned to the lord's hall and planned to have a good sleep first, the moment he opened the door, he froze.

Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest came, and the Queen Ronnie had been waiting here for a long time.

"This is really unexpected, Chuchu. Are you back from a secret mission? Why did you come back to me..."

"I miss you, so I come to see you, isn't that okay? Why are you feeling guilty?"

"I don't feel guilty at all." The baron answered while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Hey, you've been out there for so long, you must have heard about the red flash, right?"

"I heard about it... Bah, bah, bah, I didn't hear about it. What is the red flash?"

Seeing that he was still stubborn, the Queen Ronnie did not argue any more and said directly:

"Alright, Baron! Stop pretending. I know you're the one who caused this trouble! Hand over 50,000 dinars and go with me to a place, and we'll be even."

"Fuck! When you redeemed Yan Tulu, I only asked you for 5,000. Now you're asking for ten times the amount! This is unreasonable! This is unreasonable!"

"I didn't mention Yan Tulu, why did you mention him? Huh?" At this time, the Queen Ronnie looked at the Baron with a sly smile.

[System prompt: Hahahaha, it turns out that my Chu'er is so smart. Baron, it's like playing chess. You are in check, check! ]

The baron was speechless and had to admit his defeat: "But... the fine is too much!"

"Not much. This matter has already caused a declaration of war between us and the Nord Kingdom, so the place you have to accompany me to is the central capital of the Nord Kingdom. We are going to practice friendly diplomacy."

De La Ser seemed to understand the cause and effect, and replied: "So, this 50,000 dinars is a goodwill fee for the Kingdom of Nord, right?"

"That's right, let's go now. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Even if we set off today, it will be too late."

"I just came back from killing Yan Tulu, and then I went to deal with the magic academy before coming back. Now I have to go out again before I even have time to sit down?"

Since the matter was already known to everyone, De Lacelle did not hide it and directly revealed the information that he had committed murder.

"Okay, I'm a reasonable person. I'll give you three minutes to wash up before we go."

"Don't talk like your sister. You are really ruthless exploitative capitalists..." The Baron was somewhat dissatisfied, but he could do nothing about it. After all, he was the one who caused the trouble first.

So, after a simple wash and a little food, the baron fulfilled his previous promise and gave Chixue honey water and other things as a reward, and then set off again...

Of course, before leaving, the Baron also introduced Xiao Muzi to Safiya and others. He hoped that they could live in harmony.

To reach the Nord Kingdom, one needs to travel through mountains and rivers. The Baron did not want little Muzi to suffer such hardship. Although he knew that taking her along would be helpful, he still left her in the town.

[System prompt: After deducting diplomatic expenses and recent food and reward expenses, you have a total of 81,000 dinars left. ]

On the way, De La Serre asked Chu Chu: "Do you know where the central capital of the Nord Kingdom is?"

"I've never met him. I only know that their leader is King Gunnar, but we know the brave Arthur, so let's go find him first~"

The baron slapped his head and answered:

"Oh yeah, we haven't been in touch for a long time. I almost forgot I had this good brother. I don't know how the fat blond guy is doing these days."
