"Bang --!"

A dark figure flew into the air with the dull sound of breaking his chin. At the moment of landing, a large amount of dust and earth shaking screams were raised on the floor of the Council hall.

"Are you ready to fight again?" Lauren, who took back his upper hook and put his hands back again, showed a sincere smile: "it's still early."

Butch, who covered his chin, struggled on the ground and looked at the dark haired wizard with shock and fear. And none of the brothers around him who were placed like him has awakened up to now!

He didn't even remember what had just happened - like a flash of light, he heard the screams of his companions around him, and then he was knocked down by the other party.

The whole process happened so fast and suddenly that there was no time to react. It was like a dream. But his chin and two broken teeth are very real!

"You cheated!" butch, who had two broken teeth, protested with blood. But it's a pity that the voice is too low, and even the people of their family didn't stand up to support him this time.

"I'm sorry, but the count has just reminded you that I'm a wizard." Loren shook his head helplessly and kindly reminded, "and I beat you five alone with a little small hands... I think it's right."

"I..." butch, who just wanted to refute, found himself speechless.

"You now have two options - accept the settlement proposed by the count and get compensation from the RAND family; or... We can compete again."

Lauren's expression was very sincere, his voice was flat and slow: "but I want to remind you first that I won't show mercy twice."

Butch swallowed his saliva and slowly bowed his head after struggling. "We admit defeat and are willing to accept the count's conditions." then he hobbled up and knelt in front of Reuven on one knee.

"You made a very wise decision." the black haired wizard patted Butch on the shoulder and turned his eyes to the head of the RAND family.

The fat old man, with a flattering face, stood in front of the young count and kept bowing and thanking him for his kindness, which made Lu Wen, who was only a little fond of him, very comfortable from head to foot, as if every pore was open.

After all, even if he pretends to be more like him, Lu Wen is still just a young man. Moreover, now is the time when he is most eager for others to affirm him. He has no resistance to flattery and praise, and it is inevitable that he will get a little carried away.

After seeing the black haired wizard coming, the chubby leader of the RAND family quickly left and took the initiative to hold Loren's hand: "thank you so much. I don't know how to compensate you! If you don't stand up, we might have to go far away!"

"Too exaggerated." Lauren smiled and took back his hand: "it's just a little help."

"No exaggeration, no exaggeration..." shaking his fat body, the patriarch's face was full of smiles.

"In fact, I used to have a friend whose last name seemed to be Rand."

"That's really our honor!" the patriarch didn't notice the expression when Loren said these words, and still flattered: "I don't know if your friend is also from Shenlin castle? Maybe we know each other!"

"Maybe."

After leaving a thought-provoking remark, the black haired wizard turned and left the village hall with Lu Wen. The young count was quite satisfied with what happened today and was ready to take advantage of the next time to continue to visit the villages and towns near the castle to let the villagers see his new count.

Until late at night, the party returned to Shenlin Castle tired. Old Barry Senna had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time, and standing beside him was the frightened attendant will Senna.

Seeing the two men's Luwen snorted coldly, he returned to the castle hall with Loren. The indomitable old man also pulled on the attendant and followed closely.

"It seems that if I don't let you speak, you won't let me go." the count sitting in the chair couldn't see the extreme on his face and waved his hand very impatiently: "if you have anything to ask, just say it!"

"No." the old man standing in front of Lu Wen's body looked equally serious: "I just want to ask the count where he went today?"

"I just went to inspect the surrounding territory and solved a few small things by the way." Lu Wen, who didn't want to talk to him at all, dismissed at will: "is there a problem?"

"Of course, you don't know how much trouble you have caused to our humble servants by leaving the castle without authorization." Barry sighed heavily: "abandon your duty as Lord and solve those idle Affairs..."

"I am the count, and I have the right to decide what is my duty and what is my business!" Lu Wen directly interrupted him: "you are not accusing me of doing wrong?"

"No." the old man said with a sincere expression: "it's just for your safety, count. Shenlin castle is not a peaceful place. If you leave the castle without permission, we humble servants don't know how to protect you."

This was close to the naked threat. Lu Wen, who clenched his teeth, held down the armrest of the chair, and his tight shoulders and forearms trembled slightly.

"As your loyal minister, we are certainly willing to help you as much as possible, but it also needs a basic degree - but how can we help you if you don't inform us in advance?"

"So, the next time you plan to use your skills, please inform us in advance. After the nobles of Shenlin Castle study it, we will give you a satisfactory answer."

"You can leave, Barry Senna! Grandpa!" Reuven said almost gritting his teeth.

"Thank you, count." the old man bent stiffly, bowed indifferently to Reuven, and turned away from the castle hall.

Will senna, who stood where he was and didn't know what to do, hurried away after being glared at by ruwen. The whole hall was empty, leaving only Lauren and ruwen.

"This old man dares to threaten me!" the surprisingly angry Lu Wen roared out directly, gasping like a wounded lion: "he dares to threaten me?!"

Lorraine standing on the side calmly looked at Lu Wen and roared. It's useless to say anything at this time. Only let him vent himself.

Lorraine was not surprised that the other party would do so - if it were himself, of course, he would not want the count to run around and leave his control.

In fact, they were worried that ruwen would gradually establish his prestige and let the nobles and peacekeepers led by the count recognize his rule, because that would mean the complete loss of power of the Seine family.

In order to protect the titles, powers, interests, especially interests belonging to themselves and their families, people will do anything.

"We haven't done enough."

Lu Wen, who gradually calmed down, murmured like talking to himself: "just calming the contradictions of several families is not enough to make the whole count fully submit. Those nobles will certainly not be convinced, and the civilians don't even know who I am!"

"I need more intense and direct means to show my authority as an earl." Lu Wen suddenly smiled: "my father often said that only by making nobles fear and civilians love, can I become a qualified Lord."

"What he said is very reasonable."

"So what can you do?" the young count asked his wizard adviser tentatively, "don't be particularly clear, even if it's just one or two ideas."

Lauren looked at Reuven, who was looking forward to him very much, and hesitated for a moment.

"Indeed... There is a way." the black haired wizard nodded, "but this method is very risky. Indeed, if it succeeds, the Seine family will never challenge you again; but if there is a little accident..."

"You may be ready to fight the rebellion!"
