Chapter 71 019: Apology
In the spacious reception room, an unfamiliar old man was sitting on the sofa waiting. He was wearing a brown gown from the townhouse, holding a gold-studded cane, with his silver hair neatly standing back, and he looked very noble with his meticulous manners.
Seeing Luo Xi coming in, the old man hurriedly stood up and walked over, introducing himself: "Apprentice Luo Xi, hello, I am Wu Ruien, the apprentice of the forest cabin, and I am very happy to meet you here."
Luo Xi nodded and returned the greeting in a friendly manner: "Nice to meet you, sir. I am Luo Xi, an apprentice of the Elemental Castle."
As he spoke, his eyes swept across the old man's chest, where there was a senior apprentice badge.
He raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Why are you here?"
Wu Ruien said: "I was entrusted by someone."
After a pause, he explained, "I was born in the court of the Kingdom of Rudin, and William III is one of my descendants."
Luo Xi frowned and became alert all of a sudden.
As if noticing the change in Luo Xi's expression, Wu Ruien hurriedly said: "I hope you don't misunderstand me. I didn't come here with any malicious intentions. The purpose of my visit is to apologize. Do you think it's convenient for us to talk?"
Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, then turned to Nicole and said, "Let the Countess accompany you to the garden."
Nicole nodded: "It's time for afternoon tea."
After saying that, the two of them went out arm in arm.
Luo Xi and Wu Ruien sat back on the sofa, and the servants brought some tea and snacks.
After symbolically tasting it twice, Urien spoke up, "William only found out about you and your family later. The Lord of North Wind City never mentioned it to him."
After a pause, he said angrily: "If I had known earlier, this would never have happened."
Luo Xi knew what he meant, so he said bluntly: "I have already punished Earl Brock, let's talk about your problem."
Even though Wrynn is a senior apprentice, he comes from a wizarding organization whose name no one has ever heard of. Such a small wizarding organization basically has no future. Looking at his age and still being a senior apprentice, the possibility of him being promoted to a wizard is probably very slim.
And Luo Xi came from the well-known Elemental Castle on the South Coast, where geniuses gathered. Even among the geniuses, Luo Xi was still among the best. His status was definitely not comparable to that of Urian.
Because of this, even though he, as a senior apprentice, was one level higher than Luo Xi, a 'middle apprentice', at this moment, Urian's tone of voice was much lower.
Wu Ruien nodded: "That's good. I was afraid that you were blinded and could not see the truth."
After a pause, he took out a cloth bag and opened it in front of Luo Xi. It was filled with magic stones. "Here are two thousand magic stones. Just consider it as our apology."
Luo Xi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect the other party to be so sincere.
Two thousand magic stones is not a small number for any apprentice, especially a wizard apprentice of such humble status. I am afraid that it will take a long time to accumulate these two thousand magic stones.
"in addition."
"William has already dealt with Fred's family. His sister, wife and daughter were dragged to the square and hanged yesterday evening. I have also brought the bodies here. You can check them."
After saying that, without waiting for Luo Xi's answer, he stood up and pointed the space ring at the ground. After a flash of light, there were three naked bodies on the ground, two mature women around 30 years old, and a young girl in her teens, all with golden hair, and looked somewhat similar to Fred.
This is really shameless.
But Luo Xi had heard that the King of Rudin was extremely fond of Fred's female relatives. It was said that a servant had displeased Fred's sister, so William tied him to a pillar and had Fred's sister stab him with a sharpened wooden stick to vent her anger, and finally stabbed him to death.
The other wife and daughter were also arrogant and disregarded human lives and caused many troubles, but they were not punished because of William's protection.
These three treasures were in his hands, but he killed them without even frowning. It seems that His Majesty the King knows clearly what is more important between women and the crown.
Luo Xi waved his hand and picked up the magic stone: "Let's end this matter here."
Fred had already lost his head and had given the necessary warnings. He had no intention of pursuing the matter further, but now that the other party had come to apologize, it would be inappropriate for him to continue to hold on to the issue.
He picked up the silver teapot and poured a cup of tea into Wu Ruien's silver cup: "Try it, the fruit tea here is quite special."
Wrynn breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really scared these days.
The Cabin in the Woods is just a very small wizard organization with only a few dozen people and only one official wizard, the Wizard Master.
Because of this, when he learned that his people had fallen out with an apprentice of the Elemental Castle, a genius who had only been promoted to a mid-level apprentice in three years, one could imagine how Urian felt.
If others want to investigate, it would be just a matter of moving a finger, but if they put in some effort, it is possible to wipe out his entire family.
So after learning about the matter, Urian immediately ran to the palace to pull William out of the bed, and demanded on the spot in a tough manner that he deal with those women and this stupid family. Then he took out all the magic stones he could currently use and came to apologize, for fear that he would get into trouble if he ran too slowly.
It wasn't that Urian was too nervous. Although his strength was not high, he had been in the wizarding world for a long time. He had personally seen the terrible scenes when the extraordinary people got angry. Urian picked up the teacup: "Thank you."
Roche then told Wrynn that Count Brok had no intention of and would not rebel against the kingdom.
He didn't want his hometown to see war, and at least wanted it to enjoy peace during his parents' lifetime. Now that he had the opportunity, he decided to mediate the conflict between North Wind City and the king.
As expected, upon hearing this, Urian immediately said, "William will be very happy to hear this news."
In fact, the greater factor of the conflict between the Kingdom and North Wind City seems to come from suspicion. Due to geographical factors, Brock is afraid that the Kingdom will go north, and the Kingdom is also afraid that he will go south. In fact, neither side wants to fight.
As for the blood feud that had accumulated between the two sides in the past, such hatred was actually nothing in the aristocratic class.
Afterwards, the two sides chatted about some random topics, including how Wrynn entered the wizarding world and how he came here.
".I think I have no chance of becoming a wizard. Instead of wasting time, I might as well go back to the human world and enjoy the rest of my life. So I applied for a job as a night watchman on the southern coast and was stationed in my hometown."
Wrynn is a very typical apprentice in the wizarding world. He entered the wizarding world early and fought hard, but gained nothing in the end. Seeing that there was no hope of becoming a wizard, he returned to the human world to enjoy life.
The wizarding world is very cruel. Even though Luo Xi and the apprentices around him were promoted to middle-level or even advanced apprentices in just three years, it was because they were from the Elemental Castle and were already top-notch geniuses among many apprentices, and they had ample resources for training.
In fact, it takes most apprentices more than ten years of hard work to advance in rank. Even so, most apprentices still remain at the apprentice stage for life, and only a few have the opportunity to be promoted to full-level wizards.
As for the remaining ones who could not advance, they either died of exhaustion on the road of cultivation, or they became enlightened early and retreated to the human world to enjoy life like Urian.
There is no way, the road to excellence is so difficult.
Even the lucky ones who were promoted to wizards by chance only took the first step on the road to becoming a wizard. "Night Watchman?"
Hearing that Wu Ruien was a night watchman, Luo Xi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said casually: "Speaking of this, I also happened to meet one of your night watchmen when I came back this time. His name is Joey. Do you know him?"
"Joey?" Urian pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I have never heard of this name. There is no night watchman named Joey here."
Luo Xi was stunned: "No? No way, maybe you don't know him."
Urian shook his head again and said with certainty, "That's impossible. We Night Watchmen are in contact with each other to exchange information about the night watch in our respective areas. I am sure there is absolutely no Night Watchman named Joey here."
Luo Xi frowned. If Urian didn't lie, then what about that Joey?
"Where did you run into him? Do you know where his vigil area is? Tell me and I can help you check it out."
Luo Xi said: "It's over there in the Kachila Mountains."
Urian was stunned, with a strange expression on his face.
Roshi asked, "What's wrong?"
Wrynn said: "The Kachira Mountains are just a barren mountain range with no resources. There are no Night's Watchmen stationed there."
