Chapter 179 Fallon and Lamina
The wizard Fallon's deep voice spread outwards, concealing an indescribable malice within it.
In this border conflict, those knights are certainly a treasure—but how can the value of those knights compare to that of those wandering wizards?
The wizard Fallon, who secretly orchestrated the situation and used the chaos to lure the wandering wizards, has decided to take action against the other wandering wizards and capture them to be miners' slaves.
As for how to deal with other wandering wizards without being attacked by the mob—it's quite simple.
All you need to do is actively bring a registered wizard into the game.
When that time comes, those wandering wizards will scatter, and Wizard Fallon will naturally have plenty of opportunities to capture them.
For a wandering wizard, the more "mining slaves" he captures, the richer he becomes. The richer he is, the more resources he can exchange for at wizarding gatherings organized by the school, thus making himself stronger and giving him more advantages when facing other wandering wizards—thus forming a positive cycle.
"Fallen, you're well-informed, have you heard about Forked Ridge?" Wizard Lamina stopped probing Wizard Fallon and brought up another topic.
"Forked Ridge of Iron Sword Territory." Wizard Fallon fell silent instantly.
How could a well-informed wandering wizard like him not know about the changes that had occurred there?
For a wandering wizard like him to dare to orchestrate a game between two countries, to dare to dart between the registered wizards of the two countries in order to plot a rebellion—in the eyes of other wandering wizards, his audacity was already extraordinary.
Even so, he never once considered taking action against the nobles.
Ultimately, the vast majority of wizards in this central continent grew up among ordinary people outside of the nobility. They naturally had a sense of awe towards the nobility, and coupled with the suppression from wizarding schools and registered wizards, these wandering wizards rarely had the idea of taking action against the nobility.
Just like along the border between these two countries, wandering wizards from all over quietly abducted dozens of knights, but not a single one of them chose to attack the nobles.
"Nobles, indeed." After a moment, the wizard Fallon clicked his tongue again.
Among these central kingdoms, the most resource-rich areas are still the castles of the nobility—the nobility themselves are a form of wealth.
The savings of nobles are also a form of wealth.
The knights who guarded the nobles were also a form of wealth.
He asked himself, if he were to lay a hand on a nobleman, he would surely take the nobleman and the knights around him with him.
But the one from Chashanling easily killed the nobleman, yet completely ignored the nobleman's body, showing no intention of taking the knights around the nobleman with him.
"He's so foolish," Wizard Fallon shook his head. "And such a waste."
After a few breaths, the wizard Fallon suddenly seemed to realize something, and his posture became even more wary, like a hedgehog curled up in a ball. "Lamina, you wouldn't be thinking of following his example and attacking nobles, would you?"
"Even if registered wizards arrive at the border, it will take time," Wizard Lamina said calmly. "If we kill the nobles in the chaos and leave, even if those registered wizards want to chase us, it will be too late."
"Besides, Wizard Fallon, I'm informing you, not asking for your help," Wizard Lamina said, then suddenly laughed.
Previously, she had been under a lot of pressure because she was thinking about killing a certain nobleman—therefore, she had been inviting other wizards to help her share the burden.
But after learning about the Iron Sword Territory, the pressure she felt when facing the nobles vanished instantly.
It's just killing a nobleman!
If the wizard from Iron Sword Territory can do it, so can she!
"Lamina, have you thought this through?" Wizard Fallon advised. "With your talent, there's a very high chance you'll become a third-class wizard apprentice."
"But if you kill a nobleman, all the registered wizards and wizards of the two countries will hunt you down and may even put a bounty on your head."
"We wandering wizards won't keep it a secret from you either."
"At that time, it will be almost impossible for you to become a third-class wizard apprentice."
Is it worth it?
"The wizard Fallon said in a deep voice."
"Why don't you join forces with me and capture more mining slaves? With enough mining slaves, we'll have enough magic stone fragments."
"At that time, the efficiency of your meditation and mine will both be improved."
"Once you become a third-class wizard apprentice, you will easily gain the school's recognition and become a registered wizard—at that time, it will be much easier to deal with nobles."
Then, Wizard Fallon brought up another matter.
Do you know the wizard Sunil?
"As far as I know, Sunil, one of the five registered wizards in the Kingdom of the Shield, has died."
"The other four registered wizards are dividing up the legacy left by the wizard Sunil," these nobles gathered on the border were also trying to flee to the Kingdom of Tallinn because of this turmoil.
"Lamina, there is now a vacancy in the registered wizard position within the Kingdom of the Shield."
"You have a very good chance if you can become a third-class wizard apprentice."
Wizard Fallon was genuinely unwilling for Wizard Lamina to take action against a certain nobleman here.
If a nobleman were to die at the hands of a wandering wizard at the border, then the registered wizards of both countries would come to the border to investigate and remain there for ten or twenty years.
Meanwhile, the wizard Fallon has already established a small outpost on the border between the two countries—once the registered wizards of both countries settle down in this border area, his outpost is very likely to be exposed!
Even if he manages to escape the attacks of the registered wizards, the "mining slaves" imprisoned in his stronghold will surely be taken away by the registered wizards.
For him, such a loss would be far too great!
"Witch Fallon, how about we make a deal?" Witch Lamina chuckled softly, not intending to continue discussing the issue of becoming a registered witch.
—The reason she didn't kill the nobleman was that she was persuaded to stop, out of respect for the rule among wizards not to attack nobles, and also because the nobleman's defenses were very tight, and her mental strength was far from enough to kill the nobleman and all his guards.
But in reality, how could a wizard possibly care about those so-called rules?
As long as a nobleman is not killed by magic in front of everyone, even a registered wizard will help cover it up.
As for the lack of mental strength—if a wizard really wants to kill a nobleman, why would he need to kill all of the nobleman's guards?
A wizard can easily appear before a nobleman simply by using his mental power to conceal his presence.
The reason why the wizard Lamina did not kill the nobleman was for another unspeakable and absolutely unrevealable reason!
