Giant-Stone City is one of Fernandro Principality's 16 major cities, the city's population is as high as 600,000.
Giant-Stone City's City Lord's Mansion in the center of Giant-Stone City, in a conference hall sat five men. Sitting in the main seat is a man with short golden hair, blue eyes, aquiline nose, fair skin, a tall and sturdy figure, exuding a gloomy and formidable aura.
This man is Giant-Stone City's City Lord, Viscount Harley.
Apart from Viscount Harley, the other four men are respectively Giant-Stone City's Four Great Clans' Patriarchs, Portman Clan, Bennett Clan, Manny Clan and Luge Clan's Patriarchs.
Viscount Harley and Giant-Stone City's Four Great Clans jointly control everything in Giant-Stone City.
Viscount Harley slowly said: "Black-Rock Town's Baron Kirov was killed."
The Four Great Clans' Patriarchs looked at each other and remained silent.
After Baron Kirov was killed by Yang Feng, the news quickly reached their ears.
But the person involved was an expert who obtained a Warlock's inheritance, this made them extremely fearful.
Among the Four Great Clans, each of the Clans has a few Apprentice Warlocks, they are very clear on how strange and formidable Warlock's methods are.
If they provoke a formidable Official Warlock, then the destruction of their Clans will be very easy.
As long as Yang Feng doesn't encroach on their core interests, they can remain silent.
Viscount Harley's eyebrows slightly creased as he said in a deep voice: "I intend to ask Black Cottage for help.
I'll ask them to eliminate that wicked Apprentice Warlock. "
Portman Clan's Patriarch asked: "Apprentice Warlock?
City Lord Daren, are you sure that it's an Apprentice Warlock? "
The difference in strength between an Apprentice Warlock and an Official Warlock is like a moat.
An Apprentice Warlock may be besieged and killed by a mortal army.
But an Official Warlock, as long as he isn't stupid enough to fight to the death with a mortal army, he can absolutely behead the commander of the mortal army and then easily leave. Some formidable Warlocks can even defeat a ten thousand person mortal army by themselves.
Giant-Stone City has 5,000 regular troops, plus all the Apprentice Warlocks joining forces to fight against a level-1 Warlock, the odds are still against them.
After all, a level-1 Warlock can easily kill all the Apprentice Warlocks as long as he secretly acts.
Unless that level-1 Warlock is stupid enough to wait for Giant-Stone City to assemble all of its troops and Apprentice Warlocks, and then fight with them.
Viscount Harley said in a deep voice: "If it was a level-1 Warlock, then he alone would be able to capture Black-Rock Town.
According to the intelligence, he had mobilized nearly a hundred soldiers to capture Black Rock Town.
Moreover, if he was an official Warlock, he absolutely wouldn't kill an aristocrat for no reason. That would be equivalent to declaring war on the Black Cottage's Sir.
Only those who have just obtained power and don't know any better would dare to kill a noble without any scruples. "
In Turandot Subcontinent, an official Warlock wouldn't easily kill an aristocrat if it wasn't necessary.
It's very likely that there's another Warlock hiding behind those aristocrats.
Unless the aristocrat offended an official Warlock, then the official Warlock would kill the aristocrat without the interference of the other Warlock.
This was Turandot Subcontinent's unwritten rule, Warlocks were aloof and aloof, their dignity could not be violated.
But at the same time, an Official Warlock must also respect another Official Warlock, otherwise it will lead to a war between Warlocks.
Giant-Stone City's backer was Black Cottage, this Warlock group.
Black Cottage's Warlocks simply wouldn't care about the battles between mortals.
But once an Apprentice Warlock acted against Giant-Stone City and its subsidiary forces, then if there wasn't any special reason, then Black Cottage's Warlocks would absolutely dispatch experts to kill that Apprentice Warlock who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
Bennett Clan's Patriarch said unhurriedly: "Inviting Black Cottage to act, the price won't be light!"
Warlocks weren't otherworldly existences.
On the contrary, Warlocks were existences that needed to consume a huge amount of money.
Every official Warlock possessed a huge amount of wealth, but at the same time their expenses were also frighteningly large.
A potion refined by a Warlock could be sold for hundreds or even thousands of Gold Coins. Even a potion worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins wasn't uncommon.
As Giant-Stone City's backer, Black Cottage would collect a huge amount of Gold Coins every year.
At the same time, they would casually act for a price of more than 50,000 Gold Coins.
Even Giant-Stone City's Four Great Clans would feel extreme heartache for such a huge amount of money.
It was precisely because of this that Giant-Stone City basically wouldn't request Black Cottage's help if there wasn't a major event.
The other three Great Clans' Patriarchs also focused their gazes on Viscount Harley.
Viscount Harley said in a deep voice: "From this year's taxes, we'll take 30,000 Gold Coins, I'll give another 10,000 Gold Coins, and each of the four of you will give 2,500 Gold Coins.
After we get rid of that ignorant fool, we'll divide the spoils according to the amount of investment. "
"Good!" The other four Great Clans' Patriarchs nodded in satisfaction.
Having convinced the four Great Clans' Patriarchs, Viscount Harley arrived at the rear garden.
In the rear garden, there was a black crow's nest on top of a white oak tree.
After a strange white crow saw Viscount Harley enter the rear garden, it immediately flew to Viscount Harley's arm and spoke in a human voice: "Viscount Harley, did you come here to deliver food to me?
I want to eat wild boar, roasted pork thigh that drips with oil.
Your cook's culinary skills are truly terrible, I suggest that you directly hang him and replace him with a new one. "
Viscount Harley slightly respectfully said towards the white crow: "Mr. Bobo Daren, please send my regards to the mighty Black Cottage's Master, and tell him that I need his help.
An evil Warlock force has appeared in Black-Rock Town, they're attempting to provoke the mighty Black Cottage's Master.
We've already prepared a tribute of 50,000 Gold Coins, we ask the mighty Black Cottage's Master to help us dispel this evil. "
The white crow flapped its wings and said in a loud voice: "Good, Mr. Bobo Daren will convey your words to the mighty Black Cottage's Master.
However, after Mr. Bobo Daren returns, you want to eat a plump wild boar thigh, roasted until it drips with oil! "
Viscount Harley said with a smile: "As you wish, after you return, you'll receive a roasted wild boar thigh that drips with oil!"
The white crow nodded in satisfaction, it flapped its wings and directly flew out of the City Lord's Mansion.
Black Cottage isn't like what ordinary people think, it's hidden in the depths of the mountains and forests.
On the contrary, Black Cottage is located in one of Fernandro Principality's 16 major cities, Black City.
Black City is located 100km north of Giant-Stone City, its population is as high as 200,000.
Black City's area is second only to Fernandro Principality's capital, Dragon-Rocky City, it's twice as big as Giant-Stone City.
In the center of Black City, there's a huge area with forests, lakes, streams, hills and other kinds of terrains, it's a dream-like huge Manor. The entire Manor practically occupies one-third of Black City's area.
This huge and beautiful Manor is Black Cottage's headquarters.
