Chapter 170: Accident

Marquis Kanna could almost swallow a big duck egg. Is this still a mage apprentice? If this is a mage apprentice, then all the high-level magicians on the continent will be killed. If you can silently send a first to third-level dark magician, you should at least be a great mage. No, at least you have to be a mage!

The high-level magician's face showed complex expressions such as shock and depression. He was nearly fifty years old. He knew that he could only stay at this stage in his lifetime. Although he could not see the so-called mage apprentice's face, one thing is certain that this mage apprentice was very young. Throughout history, magic geniuses in the continent of Aikas have all revealed magician geniuses that were far beyond ordinary people at young age. The mage apprentice in front of him should be almost within the scope of geniuses.

The successive blows made Marquis Kanna and his group wilted like eggplants beaten by frost. So much so that when they saw a series of chain armor, scimitars, etc. seized the Molson Cavalry, they were already numb, and let Lanlie show off to them that seemed low-key but actually pretended to be.

Not far away, a group of civilians and soldiers in the Shemjin Town were busy building the city walls. Marquis Kanna suddenly felt in his heart that this dilapidated and even forgotten territory was full of vitality under the leadership of Lanlie. Could it be that with the power of this oriental man alone, the former prosperity of the Shemjin Town can be restored? This seems to be a good thing for the kingdom, but it must not be good news for His Highness the Great Prince.

After visiting the barracks, Lanlei warmly invited Marquis Kanna to return to the lord's mansion for lunch. This time, at the luncheon, Princess Jafiel and Eliza did not appear, and it was a private meeting between Lanlei and Kanna.

If Marquis Kanna was still a little unwilling to give up after visiting the barracks, then after lunch, when Lanlie summoned the silver-shining magic pet, Canna completely gave up. He cursed the maid who provided secret information to His Highness the Great Prince countless times, saying that Lanlie's magic pet was missing! It was a complete lie. Now Canna even doubts the accuracy of the news about the fine gold mine.

Looking at Marquis Canna's gloomy face, Lanle smiled slightly and said, "I know Marquis Canna's still have some doubts about the fine gold veins. Why not do this. In the afternoon, I will accompany you to Lake Baikal to see it myself, how about it!?"

"This!? Okay!" Marquis Kanna thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Even if he returned without success this time, he had to figure out whether there was a gold mine or not, otherwise he would not be able to explain it to His Highness the Great Prince and His Majesty the King.

His Majesty the King's order was to find out whether the news about the essence and gold veins was true. If it was true, then Lanlie and His Highness the Princess would be sent back to the capital. His Highness the Great Prince's order was to kill all the people except His Highness and Miss Eliza, regardless of whether the situation was true or not.

To be honest, Marquis Kanna was unwilling to do this job. Although his own territory may not be very rich, it also has enough fuel. If it weren't for pleasing the great prince who was about to ascend the throne, he would have been lazy to get a part-time job in this poor place!

After lunch, Lanley took the Marquis of Kanna to Lake Baikal. As early as yesterday afternoon, he sent the black warrior Harry to take a step forward and ordered the mining of the fine gold in Lake Baikal to stop for a day and make other troops. Without breaking up, he must give the Marquis of Kanna a reason, a reason to get out of the town of Shemjin with two thousand fully armed soldiers.

At this time, the maid Rika was turning around anxiously. From yesterday when Marquis Canna arrived in the town of Shemjin yesterday, the attitude of His Royal Highness and Miss Eliza towards her changed. All the work of service was handed over to other maids, leaving her aside. Although she said nothing, she could tell from the eyes of His Royal Highness that it would be difficult to get His Royal Highness's forgiveness this time.

After wandering around for more than a day, Rika finally figured out the reason why His Highness the Princess ignored her! Yes, His Highness the Princess was waiting for her to take the initiative to explain the problem, and this was the last chance that His Highness the Princess gave her. If she fought to the death, there would be no chance at all!

Thinking of this, she hurried to the garden. Without her expectations, Her Royal Highness and Miss Eliza, who were used to walking after lunch, were both there. When she saw her coming, Her Royal Highness and Miss Eliza both had their faces tense and looked at her with chilling eyes.

"Your Highness, I know I'm wrong. Please forgive me this time!" Rika fell to the ground without saying a word and begged for mercy immediately without saying a word.

"Lika, why do you betray me? It's hard to believe that you have been with me for so many years, but you actually...!" Princess Yafel said with great pain. The little maid in front of her has been following her for more than ten years, but she really didn't expect the other party to betray her.

"It was His Highness the Great Prince who threatened my parents' lives. I was forced to agree. And the Great Prince told me that he just wanted to report the every move of Marquis Lanlie at any time. This was not a betrayal of you, so I agreed to accept the three magic owls. Princess, I was wrong, please, I will never dare again!" Rika cried bitterly, bursting into tears. She really never thought about betraying Princess Yafir. In addition to Alec's threat, she also had a disgust towards Lanlie. She judged people by her appearance and always believed that the combination of His Highness the Princess and that Oriental man was unhappy and unmatched, and the Dragon Knight Kent was the most suitable candidate for the princess.

Although she was a little clever in the matter of informing her, she was not a spy. After learning about the disappearance of the Jingjin Mine and Lanle Mopang, she actually released all three magic owls in panic. So much so that in the later victory in the Sheung Jin Town, a beautiful oriental woman appeared, the arrival of the holy magician, and the loss of Lanle Mopang, she could not convey the message to the prince of the palace.

"The four palace guards are Alec's people!" Princess Yaphir asked coldly.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Rika didn't dare to hide it. She knew it was useless to hide it. You can tell from His Royal Highness's question that the four guards who accompanied her had long been exposed.

Princess Yafel nodded and smiled at Eliza. The four guards had long been transferred out of the lord's mansion by Lanlei on the pretext of insufficient manpower. In the past month, they built the city walls with civilians and soldiers, and were strictly controlled by the Interior Officer George.

"Get up!" Princess Yafir's tone eased a lot. She knew that Rika had no choice but to do so, and she could not make up for the little maid who had been following her for more than ten years, so she decided to give the other party a chance to regret.

"Forget it this time, Lika, listen carefully, if there is another time..." Princess Yafel's voice was chilling, and the meaning contained in it was chilling.

"Your Highness, I swear I will never do anything against your wishes again!" Lika knew that she had escaped this time, stood up and promised excitedly.

Lanle and the Marquis of Kanna arrived next to Lake Baikal under the escort of more than 200 cavalry.

This was the first time Marquis Kanna saw Lake Baikal. Looking at the endless lake, Marquis Kanna couldn't help but be surprised by the vastness of the lake. Under the leadership of Lanlie, the group came to the copper mine cave.

Ranley pointed to the mine with a horsewhip and smiled: "Look, Marquis Kanna, this is the only mineral in the town of Shenjin, which produces some inferior copper ores. I know this is nothing to you, but it is of great significance to the poor town of Shenjin. In any case, this copper ore is one of our income!"

Marquis Kanna stood at the entrance of the mine without comment. At his signal, the great swordsman Lamore and two assassins walked into the mine. He had to explore the mine. Yes, he did not believe that Lanlei said. He wanted to find evidence, looking for evidence that there was a fine gold mine next to Lake Baikal.

Lanley did not stop the actions of Marquis Canna, and there was no problem with the mine. The only thing he was concerned about was whether the financial officer Henry had made proper arrangements. Regarding these miners and the guards' soldiers!

"Marquis Lanlie, does it take to arrange so many soldiers to guard these miners?" Taking advantage of his attendants' visit to the mine, Marquis Kanna's eyes began to wander around more than a hundred left-behind soldiers. Soon, he discovered something unreasonable and asked quietly.

"I said that this copper mine is the only source of income in Shinjin Town. Of course, you have to take good care of it. You must know that there are many robbers on the Seltan wasteland, and I must ensure the safety here!" Lanlie said nonsense. In fact, in this poor place where birds do not shit, even a robber's hair cannot be found.

Marquis Kanna snorted lightly, he knew that the other party was lying. First, the copper mine was not valuable, and second, it was laborious to move. Even if there were really robbers, they would not be stupid enough to attack the copper mine. It would be more convenient and labor-saving to directly enter the Shinjin Town to rob!

After a while, the Great Swordsman Lamore and two assassins left the mine and shook his head at Marquis Canna.

Marquis Kanna was very disappointed. He was 100% sure that there was a secret in Lake Baikal. However, looking at the empty terrain around the lake, he really couldn't figure out where if there were really gold veins!?

Financial officer Henry said nothing and glanced at the soldiers under the army with sharp eyes. These soldiers were all from the royal palace Gerdo. In the past month, he executed more than a dozen fugitives, but he still could not guarantee the loyalty of the remaining soldiers. In order to prevent it, he made preparations early.

"Soldiers, I am Marquis Kanna from the capital. I am here to comfort everyone by the order of His Majesty the King!" After a few steps, Marquis Kanna suddenly found that the eyes of the soldiers closest to him were flashing, and hesitant. He felt a move in his heart and suddenly started to speak loudly.
