Chapter 180: Inheritance coveted, total blockade

At the door of the church, a priest saw Chu Ming coming, bowed and asked: "Lord Narender, are you here to see High Priest Isabel?"

"The high priest told me that if you come to see her, let me take you there directly."

"Trouble."

Following the priest into the church, he looked around and found that the surrounding landscape layout was basically the same as the church in the royal capital.

With the help of the pastor, the church was built very quickly, and it only took half a year to complete.

Passing through the courtyard corridor, Chu Ming came to the strange yet familiar attic.

The priest knocked on the door, "High Priest Isabel, Lord Narender is here to see you."

"Ah?" The girl's voice came from inside, and she said in a panic: "Ai...Pastor Emma, ​​please wait a moment."

There was a movement inside, and then Isabel opened the door and moved her eyes to Chu Ming.

"Pastor Emma, ​​please excuse me."

She thanked the priest and took Chu Ming into the attic.

Chu Ming looked inside and saw that the furniture here looked simpler and plainer than in the capital. When he came to the table, he could vaguely see traces of clutter on the table, and a page of paper was exposed from the gap in the cabinet door.

It looked like the girl had tidied up the messy table before he came in.

"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."

The arrogant Pearl made a purring sound when she saw Chu Ming.

Chu Ming chuckled and stroked Pearly's snow-white feathers.

Isabel blushed slightly and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"

Chu Ming turned around and said with a smile: "The research has come to an end recently, so I planned to come over to see you."

When the girl heard this, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

"By the way, is the bracelet I gave you before still usable?"

Isabel was stunned. She lowered her head and touched the dim bracelet on her hand, as if she was afraid that he would be unhappy. The girl whispered: "Polly broke it with a peck not long ago. I shouldn't have put my hand there."

Seeing her careful look, Chu Ming couldn't help but reach out and rub her long, smooth hair, "It's okay. If it's broken, I'll fix it for you."

"You should have told me earlier."

As he spoke, he took the girl's white hand, opened the buckle, and took off the bracelet.

Isabel hummed softly and hugged him, "Mr. Wizard, do you have something to do again?"

Feeling the soft body in his arms, Chu Ming kissed her white forehead, "It's all small things."

After comforting the girl, he asked about the recent situation in the church, then told the girl to have a good rest and left the church.

While walking on the road, Chu Ming began to think, "It seems that the wizard's cabin is a bit far from the center of the new capital. Even getting to the Tower of Knowledge takes about an hour."

"Perhaps I need to talk to Allen sometime and ask him to help me choose a new address for the wizard's cabin."

Thinking about it, Chu Ming was walking halfway when he suddenly met a hurried knight on a horse on a main street with few people.

When the hasty knight saw Chu Ming, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Sir Narender, Mr. Burrett has something to ask you."

"Burrett?" Chu Ming looked confused, "Is there anything important?"

The knight quickly replied: "The royal family sent an envoy here to discuss some matters. The master asked me to come to you."

"The master and them are now in the clan meeting hall in the old city."

"Sir, if you want to rush there, you can ride on this horse."

After hearing this, Chu Ming smiled and said, "Knight, thank you."

After saying that, he took the reins from the knight and ran towards the old city.

Ten minutes later, he successfully entered the old clan's territory and arrived at the meeting hall under the guidance of the maid.

As soon as Chu Ming walked inside, he heard Burrett's cold voice.

"Sorry, Mr. Leo, I am not the earl of this territory now. Maybe you shouldn't ask me."

Opposite Burrett, the man named Leo was wearing a red coat, decorated with a circle of golden tassels. His collar stood up high, which made him look like he was looking down at everyone.

According to the knight guarding the door, the envoy who came here from other counts was a close official responsible for helping William Stearman handle government affairs, and he had a certain status even in the royal family.

The man smiled and said: "No, no, no, Count Burrett, your title has not been approved by His Majesty, but you are still the master here."

"How have you considered the proposal your Majesty mentioned? It's just a small inheritance of spiritual wizards. I believe that in this territory, those wizards dare not disobey your orders."

"The royal family wants a spiritual wizard inheritance?"

Chu Ming squinted his eyes slightly. It seems that the development of the Wizard Tower in recent years has attracted a lot of jealous people. After all, only spiritual wizards can make the best-selling rune equipment in the entire North. The royal family has inherited spiritual wizards.

Greed is also normal.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he stepped into the meeting hall.

He nodded to Burrett, then looked at the man, "I heard that you want my wizard inheritance?"

Leo was stunned and smiled brightly, "This must be Lord Narender."

"To be precise, the inheritance of spiritual wizards belongs to the empire, and you have no right to monopolize it."

"At this critical moment of the empire's survival, you should dedicate your inheritance to His Majesty and contribute to the empire's survival."

Chu Ming laughed angrily, "If you want to inherit the spiritual wizard, you can ask Isabel William Sterman to exchange for a thousand top-quality crystals."

When Leo heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, "Lord Narender, you have to think about it. This is the idea of ​​His Majesty and the major counts. As long as you hand over the spiritual wizard inheritance, you will be favored by the empire.

To be sought after, to be remembered in history, even your relationship with Saint Isabelle can be recognized by the royal family.”

"If you really want to hold on to the so-called spiritual wizard inheritance and go against the wishes of the empire, then the empire will never show mercy."

Upon hearing such a naked threat, Chu Ming sneered: "What a loud tone."

"What makes you think that you can represent the empire? Is it the royal family that is so miserable, or those cowardly earls?"

"You don't need to remember my achievements, there are people who will praise them."

"What does the matter between Isabel and I have to do with you?"

Leo's face gradually turned ugly, "Are you sure you want to go against the wishes of His Majesty and the nobles?"

Chu Ming spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I don't care about your wishes. If you can, please go back and tell William Sterman. If you are jealous, you are jealous. There is no need to put a high hat on yourself."

"If you want to inherit the spiritual wizard, come to me in the Earldom of Kutz to get it. I'll be waiting for you."

Leo snorted with a dark face, and then he looked at Burrett, "Earl Burrett, don't you take good care of the wizards in your territory?"

Burrett smiled politely and said: "Narender's wish is my wish. Mr. Leo, please come back."

"By the way, give me a message for William Sterman."

The man stopped talking and cursed: "Let him wash his neck well, or I will kick his head like a ball."

Leo was stunned, and his anger suddenly rose, "Okay, you are so good, Count Kurtz, you will pay the price for what you said today, hum!"

The man waved angrily and left the meeting hall with a group of knights.

After the royal envoy disappeared into the night, Burrett came back to his senses and laughed: "Hahaha, I have wanted to say this for a long time, damn William Stellman."

Chu Ming also laughed and said: "Those who don't know better think they are here to beg for food. They have such a bad mouth and want big fish and meat."

Burrett chuckled, gradually calmed down, and muttered: "The royal family plus the epics from other counties have a total of twenty-four epic combat forces."

"Although our strength is not much different from theirs, if the royal family really wants to attack the territory at all costs, they will be in a stalemate with us for a period of time. In this way, the development of the territory will be hindered."

"And what worries me the most is the dark wizard. If we start a war, I'm afraid the dark wizard will take advantage of the situation."

Chu Ming listened quietly.

Burrett's worries are not unreasonable. If the territory is really hostile to the entire northern border, then all the current construction and development of the territory will come to a halt.

Moreover, the dark wizard will take advantage of their confrontation to act, which is not conducive to maintaining the current North-South confrontation.

If he had to think about it before, but now...he doesn't have to worry anymore.

Thinking of this, the corners of Chu Ming's mouth raised slightly, "Brett, don't worry at all, I have made a new breakthrough in my strength."

Brett was stunned for a moment, then realized something.

A breakthrough in epic power, isn’t that a higher level of power?!

…

The two chatted until midnight and decided to ask the knight to quickly inform the three epics in the pass fortress about what they discovered today and recall them to avoid falling into the control of the royal capital.

Burrett then sent a knight to inform Edel, asking him to go to the border of the earldom to guard the border from today, and sent some reconnaissance knights to other earldoms to learn about the royal family's movements.

Starting tonight, the Count of Coutts will be on alert, with epic forces and knights ready to dispatch at any time to prevent attacks by knights from other Counts.
