It's another warm, sunny afternoon.
Perhaps the Creator is blessing the new island lord, and the weather has been good every day during this period.
In Crescent City, shocking news leaked out from the Gentle Ewe Tavern.
"Have you heard? The Lord is going to show off his new weapons. These are powerful weapons brought by Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Someone came up immediately.
"The weapons that Her Royal Highness brought must be incredibly powerful, right?"
"Of course. I heard it's a very scary magic weapon. It can cut a large area with one sweep. It's faster than a sickle cutting wheat."
The soldier's tone was extremely exaggerated, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable fear.
Someone else asked, "Where does the Lord plan to display it?"
"I heard it's right next to the Hanshui River Bridge, in three days."
"Anyone can see it?"
"Since it's a display, everyone can see it. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to say anything."
White Sturgeon Island is just a small place, and once something new happens, it will spread all over the city quickly.
The shock brought by the Black Guards some time ago has not yet ended, and this new shock has appeared again.
Just like a huge rock was thrown into a small pond, the ripples quickly spread to every corner of the White Sturgeon Island.
In the Crescent Inn, 13 children of the forest, led by Ignoni, gathered in a room, all with solemn expressions.
Igonini said softly: "It seems that the lord has completely lost his patience with the rebels."
Another person immediately asked: "Why do you say that?"
Igonini turned his head and looked out the window. Through the crystal clear glass, he could see that it was the direction of Crescent Castle.
There was a sense of reverence in his amber eyes that he himself was not aware of: "Showing a powerful weapon is like a warrior showing a big and strong fist."
"If you still don't surrender, the next step will be for this iron fist to hit your opponent in the face."
“By then, I’m afraid it will be a terrible massacre.”
The other children of the forest looked at each other, with fear and relief in their eyes.
Fortunately, they followed this powerful lord in time and did not have to worry about the subsequent disaster of genocide.
A young male forest spirit chuckled and said, "The lord is still merciful. If I had such a terrible weapon in my hand, I would have rushed over to wipe out the rebels long ago."
The other female forest spirit rolled her eyes at him and said with disdain: "So you are just a warrior, not a lord."
After saying that, he turned to look at Igonini and said, "Brother, can you lend me your flying bird amulet for a few days? It's really pretty."
Igonini was reluctant to part with it: "No, this won't do. The lord gave it to me specially."
Compared to the easy life of the Ego tribe, the rebels in the mountains had a very hard time.
Phoenix of the Nalin tribe stayed in the cave all day, ignoring anyone who came to look for him, and just said that he was seriously injured and had not yet recovered.
All that’s left is to seal the hole.
The town of the four great human knights was like having its femoral artery cut, with people fleeing every moment, and even some low- and middle-level knights began to run away.
Only the knight and those senior knights who had no way to retreat were still holding on, but they were in a state of panic all day long and could not even sleep well.
They were afraid that while they were sleeping, the escaped knights would cut off their heads and take them to Crescent City for the reward.
But there is a place in the mountains and forests where the situation is somewhat different from other places.
People in other places are in panic, but here, there is an atmosphere of tragedy and resoluteness.
This is a spacious cave in the mountains, not far from the territory cave of the Heg tribe.
In the cave, two people were talking.
One was a giant who was over two meters tall, and the other was wrapped in a thick animal skin cloak. He was very mysterious and his specific appearance could not be seen clearly.
The giant man said, "Prophet, the situation has become extremely critical. We must fight to the death."
"I know."
The cloaked man is called the prophet, so it is naturally M'Bahát.
He nodded. "The location where the Baron will display his weapons has been determined. I've been there. It's not far from the forest, so it's a good place for an ambush."
After a pause, he said, "I have completely built the secret weapon and injected enough power into it."
"What you need to do is to gather all the warriors and fight against the Baron's Crescent Warriors with the greatest courage at the right time."
"This will surely result in the death of a large number of warriors. So, do you have the courage to do this?"
"Of course I do!"
The giant said in a deep voice: "To die on the battlefield is the highest honor for the children of the forest. I am not a coward like Phoenix!"
"very good."
M'Bahate nodded slowly: "I will not let my warriors bleed in vain. I will let the traitorous knights of the human race rush out first to explore the way."
After saying that, he chuckled and said, "Let the human civilians watch their lords slaughter the human warriors."
Crescent Castle, the Lord's Longhouse.
A small restaurant inside.
Compared to the turbulent waves on the White Sturgeon Island, it is very calm here.
Rosen, Selena, Mrs. Saxon and Evelyn were enjoying dinner around a round dining table.
Under the warm candlelight, the family enjoyed the delicious food while chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very cozy.
Selena was eating her favorite moonlit white sturgeon.
This was caught by fishermen who broke through the ice of the Hanshui River. The taste was exactly as Rosen described, tender, fresh and fragrant, with a very unique flavor.
She said after taking a few bites with satisfaction.
"My dear, you seem to be very busy these days. Is there any new situation?"
He was very busy before, but he has been even busier these days. The generals of the Crescent Warriors and the commanders of the Flame Regiment have been frequently entering and leaving his government study, which has even affected the research in the magic laboratory.
I feel like there's an oppressive feeling of a coming storm.
Rosen was using a knife to cut thin lamb rolls, half for himself and half for his family.
"It's a bit new, but don't worry, I've got it all handled."
In this case, Selena felt relieved.
She picked up the thin lamb slices with a fork and put them into the hot soup, then said, "I recently mastered a fourth-level spell called "Evil Barrier", which should be helpful to you."
Rosen naturally knew about this.
These fourth-ring spells were all memorized by Selena from the family library. She had kept them in her mind, and was preparing to learn them when she was promoted to the fourth ring. However, she did not expect that she would be stuck for many years and still not be able to break through.
In fact, he also knew the contents of the spell, because Selena never avoided him when she flipped through the spell book.
He knew that there were a total of four fourth-level spells in his wife's spell book, and the spell performance and power were much higher than those of the third-level spells.
More importantly, these fourth-ring spells that can be included in the Duke's family library are all top-notch spells that have been refined and tested through thousands of trials and tribulations.
Its overall performance is much better than the "Soul Detection" that Master Shahram secretly learned. It is estimated that better spells can only be found in the family libraries of the major royal families in the continent of Witt.
He learned it secretly and felt that he benefited a lot.
As for the "Evil Barrier" spell, it is a very powerful defense spell against the dark magic. It has a very strong defensive effect against almost all types of attack spells, especially curse spells.
After a brief consideration, he nodded and said, "It is indeed helpful. I will personally participate in the weapons demonstration tomorrow. In order to prevent the sorcery master M'Bahate from making a surprise attack, please give me a constant."
Serena smiled slightly, "No problem."
After she finished speaking, she saw Evelin beside her listening attentively, so she smiled and said, “Evelyn, do you want to learn magic too?”
Evelin didn’t say anything, but turned to look at her brother first.
Although her brother has only been back for a few days, she already knows that her brother is the one who has the most say in this family.
Rosen smiled and said, "If you want to learn, then learn. But let me make it clear that once you learn, you have to study hard and you are not allowed to give up halfway."
"Why should a little girl learn magic? It's so expensive. Just learn to read and count, and a little needlework," said Mrs. Saxe.
Evelin immediately said, “Mom, I don’t want to learn embroidery, I also want to learn magic, so that I can be as powerful as my sister-in-law in the future.”
Rosen smiled and said, "Mother, since my sister wants to learn, let her learn."
In this case, Mrs. Saxon acquiesced. After all, her son was the boss of the family, and he was willing to spend money to support his sister, so naturally, as a mother, she had no objection.
Rosen put this matter on the agenda.
"Your sister-in-law has been busy learning new spells recently, so I will be the one to teach you about spells. Once you have the basics, I will decide which path to take based on your talent, and then I will hire a dedicated instructor."
Mrs. Saxon was startled. "It's too expensive to hire a mentor. It's better to send him to a famous wizard in Shire County as an apprentice."
Rosen smiled: "There aren't many famous mentors in Shire County. My sister is a little girl, and it's not good for her to go out alone."
"What do you think, Your Highness?"
Mrs. Saxony looked at Serena, she was worried that the noble princess would be unhappy because she spent too much money.
Selena had no concept of money because she had basically never lacked money since she was a child. After marrying Rosen, she was only short of money for half a day.
She noticed Mrs. Saxon's caution and smiled, "Mother, don't worry about the money. Rosen has plenty of ways to make money."
Then he looked at Evelin and said, “Leave the matter of my sister’s enlightenment to me. You are so busy every day that the soles of your shoes are smoking. Don’t delay the best learning time for the little girl.”
Rosen agreed with this statement and said, "Then let's go together."
The matter was settled.
Then they started chatting about some trivial things in life, and the small restaurant was suddenly filled with a warm atmosphere.
After a short break after the meal, Mrs. Saxon began to embroider as usual, while Selena leisurely petted the cat in the corner.
Rosen acted decisively and brought a stack of spell books titled "Twelve Volumes of Island Magic Enlightenment".
He placed it on the small table in front of his sister with a plop, leaving the little girl stunned.
"Here, starting from today, for the next three months, you must memorize the contents of this stack of books by heart, and not make any mistakes in reciting a single word."
Selena, who was standing by, was very surprised. She took a book and flipped through it quickly: "Honey, did you write this yourself?"
"That's right."
"When did you write it?"
"I wrote it recently while sitting idle in the government study, but the content of the book is a summary of the past ten years."
Selena was just reading it casually at first, but after flipping through it, she began to read it seriously. As she read, she couldn't help but say, "My dear, you write very well."
It was clearly just an introductory book, but she felt it had the aura of a masterpiece.
There are even some places that make her seem to have a sense of sudden enlightenment, and the details that she couldn't figure out before are now clear to her.
I feel like her family’s introductory book on magic is not even up to this level.
Rosen smiled and said, "Who made me an apprentice for ten years? I was fully focused on enlightenment."
This thing is the summary of his many years of practice. This is a detailed version, which he uses to teach his sister.
There is also a simplified version, which is a set of teaching materials prepared to be used to train civilian mages, and can enlighten the young people of Hongyou Island with magical powers at the fastest speed.
He turned to look at Evelin again, and the sternness of a mentor appeared on his face.
"Sister, from now on, I am your magic instructor, not your brother. So, you have to call me instructor, remember?"
“Remember, mentor brother.” Evelin responded timidly, as obedient as a quail in a thunderstorm.
Rosen was very satisfied and handed over the first volume: "Come, read it once, I'm listening carefully."
Evelyn did as she was told. Although she had learned to read, she was not very good at it, so she read haltingly.
Rosen listened carefully and corrected the other party immediately if he made a mistake.
This is a patient job for most people, but an easy job for Rosen.
Because he quickly threw the task of correcting the mistake to Lai Fu, and started chatting with Selena in a whispered way, which made the noble princess blush and excited.
It was another warm and beautiful night.
The next morning.
The 'Puppet No. 2' which was upgraded to intermediate mana gathered the three major military leaders of Crescent City.
They are Crescent Knight Commander Kaudrin, Flame Legion Captain Yop, and the mysterious but taciturn leader of the Black Iron Guard Miss Akali.
Rosen said in a serious tone: "This is the last battle!"
Baimbahat worked tirelessly and gathered together all the stubborn old forces on the island.
Rosen naturally would not miss this rare opportunity.
"In this battle, don't hesitate at all. Do your best to kill all the rebels who dare to resist. Don't spare any!"
"Yes, Lord!"
The three answered in unison.
Kaudrin's morale was high, Akali was as calm as ever, but Battle Master Yop was a little confused.
For a moment, he couldn't tell who he was fighting for.
