Chapter 73 The Golden Lion
Wadenburg is northeast of the city of decay, and this area is considered a rare hilly area in the Black Swamp.
The continuous jungle and swamp extend here, gradually being occupied by the mountains one after another, and a winding path was opened up in the uneven mountains of the highlands.
If it was ten years ago, there were always a large number of carriages of merchants and wizards coming and going on this path. Compared with the more independent flower scorpion society and the Silver Light adjacent to the rotten city, Wadenburg and the rotten city had closer interactions. With the support of prosperous trade, Wadenburg once became the gathering place for wizards in the Kurosawa region, second only to the rotten city.
According to some information described in the Book of Silver, coupled with the information that Lance himself obtained from the Alliance of Silver Stars, a history of Wadenburg is slowly forming in his mind and turning into a complete story.
The owner of Wadenburg, the founder of the famous wizard organization of Kurosawa [Golden Lion], is a wizard named Laukren. Laukren is proficient in summoning techniques. Compared with ordinary second-level wizards, he can only have one wizard pet quota, like the tree worshipers of Ferrondor, he has many powerful wizard pets.
Although they were named as pets, in fact, before they were subdued by Laukren, they were all wild and difficult to tame monsters. The most notorious of them was a golden lion from the [Little God Realm]. This ferocious monster is not only the nickname of Laukren himself, but also the basis for the naming of the wizard organization of the same name he created.
Wadenburg was established thirty years ago. At first, the members were only Laughren and his wife. Later, with the strong strength of Laughren and the Golden Lion, the scale of this organization gradually expanded and developed very rapidly. It is said that the Golden Lion himself received the knowledge inheritance of an ancient wizard. An underground secret room in Wadenburg not only sealed a large amount of witchcraft materials and precious treasures, but also stored countless knowledge.
Laughren himself is a talented wizard. He took out some of his knowledge to reward members of the organization. Soon, a large number of wild wizards in Kurosawa joined the Golden Lion League after his personal assessment. In just five or six years, the Golden Lion League became one of the most powerful organizations in Kurosawa, second only to the Flower Scorpion Society and Silver Light that have stood for many years.
Originally, with this momentum, the Golden Lion Alliance should continue to develop rapidly. However, about seven or eight years ago, a Smok poisonous dragon entered the territory of the Kurosawa from the northeast. It was a young poisonous dragon. He tried to find some magical plants with powerful toxins for feeding.
Unfortunately, Laughren planted a poisonous berry forest behind Wadenburg by himself, attracted the attention of the poisonous dragon. Without the wizards of the Golden Lion Alliance, the Smoke poisonous dragon broke into Wadenburg. Not only did he swallow the fruits in the poisonous berry forest frantically, but he also released a terrifying poisonous mist.
Overnight, half of the low-level wizards in Wadenburg died!
By the time the golden lion who was practicing the secret technique walked out of the secret room with a blue face, the poisonous dragon had destroyed the entire Wadenburg. A large number of wizards ran for their lives in horror.
Laughren summoned the golden lion and fought with the poisonous dragon. Although he finally drove away the uninvited poisonous dragon, he and the golden lion were also injured by the poisonous dragon's venom, and his body was filled with toxins that could not be dispelled. In order to fight these toxins, Laughren's magic power was in a state of consumption most of the time. As time passed, these toxins had penetrated into his bone marrow.
He lost the ability to cast spells. Although people respected him as the founder of the Golden Lion, his once loyal subordinates still served him and vowed to rebuild Wadenburg.
However, all this could not prevent Wadenburg's weakness. Since then, Laughren rarely appeared in front of outsiders, and everything in Wadenburg was left to his eldest son Bard to take charge. Because during that poisonous dragon invasion, he not only lost a lot of wealth, but also his favorite wife.
People thought he would remain silent like this, but they did not expect that in the conflict between Wadenburg and the Flower Scorpion Society, the elderly golden lion actually came back to the front desk.
Faced with his desperate daughter, he resolutely repelled the Flower Scorpion Society, and at the same time entrusted a friend in Silver Light to issue a task. With the wealth accumulated by the Golden Lion Alliance for many years, he recruited a free wizard in a large manner, which was very stance to fight with the Flower Scorpion Society.
This attitude immediately angered the Huascorpion Society, which has always regarded itself as the overlord of Kurosawa. The war between the two sides is about to break out.
...
"According to the information provided by the Silver Star Alliance, Wadenburg was obviously at an absolute disadvantage in this war. Even if the Golden Lion could recruit some free wizards, it was far from the Flower Scorpion Society in terms of hard power. It is said that this time, the Flower Scorpion Society dispatched twelve standard law enforcement teams, each of which was composed of four higher apprentices; and in addition, the senior management of the Flower Scorpion Society also dispatched four second-level early wizards, and such a move is also considered a unique part of the Kurosawa Land."
Lance sat on the magic carpet and calmly analyzed the information at hand.
The power of the Flower Scorpion Society is so powerful, while the Wadenburg side is not optimistic. According to the information he obtained from the Silver Star Alliance, there is no second-level wizard on the Wadenburg side except the Golden Lion himself!
The elderly golden lion has been plagued by toxins for many years due to well-known reasons and has lost its ability to cast spells!
Such a situation is almost one-sided. Lance estimates that even if some people are moved by the high rewards given by the Golden Lion Alliance, they will be afraid to take on the mission because they are afraid of the power of the Flower Scorpion Society. Moreover, most of the wild wizards in the Silver Light are first-level wizards, which are difficult to achieve a decisive role.
However, it was precisely because of this situation that Lance decided to participate in this war and chose Wadenburg's side.
"At present, the Golden Lion Alliance is the weaker side, and they need help in urgent need of help. Although I don't have much second-level witchcraft on hand, it is also a powerful support for them, which can enhance the confidence of their subordinates and the first-level wizards they recruit. What's more, I have dragon-killing arrows and magic flying needles. Even if the second-level wizard from the Flower Scorpion Society comes forward, I can still wrestle the arm..."
Lance thought to himself: "It is always better to give icing on the cake than to help in time. Wizard organizations like Wadenburg will definitely have a lot of good things on hand; maybe like the Light of Silver, there are also some witchcraft learning scrolls passed down in the Golden Lion Alliance. If Laughren can give me enough rewards, it would be okay to be a thug occasionally."
With the boots of Thunder Elf, Lance is not afraid of the wizards of the Flower Scorpion Society. As long as you are cautious, be careful at any time, and don’t be controlled by the second-level wizard’s control spell. As for the opponent’s first-level wizard, they are basically sent to the door to Lance to kill. The previous few battles have completely proved that multiple melting rays and Hawkeye’s fighting style are the deadly nemesis of all low-level wizards.
The magic carpet was driving quickly and suddenly clouds came out. Below was a undulating hill with high ground. Suddenly, a group of iron-wired crows flew up from the trees in the hills.
“Gaga!”
This group of iron-wired crows were obviously coming to Lance. They surrounded them in a terrifying manner, flapping their wings, and making unpleasant screams in their mouths.
Lance frowned, and at this moment, the crow with red eyes glowing iron wire spoke:
"Please note that the wizards outside Wadenburg have been blocked by the Flower Scorpion Society. If you pass the blockade line without authorization, you will be killed by the Flower Scorpion Society's law enforcement team!"
"Your Excellency, please come back. The power of the Flower Scorpion Society is not something that the golden lion can resist. This is destined to be a unilateral massacre. Joining Wadenburg at this time is a completely stupid act of ignoring one's own life and death."
The crow threatened noisily.
Lance sneered: "The blockade line is here? Do the Flower Scorpion Society really thinks Kurosawa is their back garden?"
"Sir, please don't..." The crow flapped his wings. Before he could finish his words, countless orange and yellow light burst out from the magic carpet!
Hahaha!
The crows let out shrill screams, and their bodies were shot out of countless holes by magic needles and fell down one after another.
Lance watched the crows fall down, thought for a while, and landed the magic carpet.
"I didn't expect that the Flower Scorpion Society had already begun to block the routes around Wadenburg. Then there should be a considerable number of wizards who have taken the mission, and under the intimidation of these iron-line crows, they would choose to return... Even if the rest were preparing to break into the Flower Scorpion Society's blockade, they might not be able to succeed. In the end, there are probably not many wizards who can safely arrive at Wadenburg."
Lance chose to walk into Wadenburg to see if he could help a few more wizards along the way. He was not afraid of the people from the Flower Scorpion Society, but other low-level wizards may not be.
He walked among the undulating mountains and forests, and soon, there were some figures and fighting sounds in front of him.
Lance opened Hawkeye and found that there were six wizards casting spells in front of him, and their enemies were a group of multi-headed monsters with a number of more than a dozen heads!
...
Wadenburg, a quaint study.
The elderly man sat quietly at the desk, his face with an unnatural blue color and his forehead was covered with wrinkles written by the years with a carving knife.
His right hand was pressed on the desk, and his index and middle fingers were hitting the table with rhythmic rhythm.
Speaking at the table, a tall man was excitedly saying, "Sir Father! We can't do this!"
"You are going to ruin the foundation of Wadenburg! We cannot start a war with the Flower Scorpion Society, they will destroy us!"
The old man said softly: "Don't you start a war with the Flower Scorpion Society? Then, just sit there and wait for them to destroy us?"
