Chapter 44 Returning the Property to Its Original Owner

According to the information Richard had found out, Baron Sophia is only 23 years old this year.

Before going to Markholm Kingdom five years ago, she was already a three-ring magician.

Before leaving Grant Kingdom, Sophia, who was only 18 years old, was already a well-known magic genius in the North.

Received an invitation from the Grant Kingdom Magic Association.

In five years, according to Baron Sophia's magic talent, it is very likely that she will advance to a mid-level magician.

Although she is a woman, Baron Sophia's combat power is estimated to be able to compete with William.

Today Sophia came to the door, and it is unknown whether she is an enemy or a friend.

In the situation back then, it was Richard who stole Baron Stopa's treasure.

Now that the victim has come to the door, Richard is at a loss and does not know how to face Baron Sophia.

"Sir Richard, you should know the purpose of my visit today. I hope that the Harland family can return the books of the Stopa family. As for the magic you stole from the Stopa family, I will not pursue it on behalf of the Stopa family."

Sophia's intention was very clear. She stared at Richard, ready to wait for the reply of the Harland family.

If Richard's answer did not satisfy Baron Sophia, it seemed that he would turn against Baron Stopa at any time.

Richard knew that turning against Baron Stopa was the worst choice.

Of course he could choose not to admit it.

But how do the nobles get along with each other?

It's not about what you say, but what you do.

Once he doesn't admit it, it's equivalent to giving Baron Sophia a clear attitude.

Now the strength of the Harland family is still stronger than that of Baron Stopa.

Last year, Uncle Bernie was promoted to a fourth-level professional and was promoted to deputy captain of the sixth battalion of the Northern Legion.

Including Richard and Roland, the Harland family has four mid-level professional combat forces.

With the help of his uncle Soros, the two families have a better chance of winning when a conflict breaks out.

However, in a special area like the Northern Frontier, nobles will not easily clash with their neighbors.

The orcs from the Northern Frontier invade every few years, and the noble territories are often lost.

If neighbors do not get along well, they will also have hatred and it will be difficult to cooperate when a war breaks out.

Once there is a conflict between the lords, they will often stand by and watch, and even trip up the enemy from behind.

In the end, both sides will suffer, and no one can keep their territory, which benefits the orcs.

"Baron Stopa's collection of books is in Black River Castle. The badge, magic book, and breathing method are all in my hands. Baron Sofia can take these things away at any time. I am very sorry about this matter. In the future, when the Harland family has other magic inheritances, I am willing to let the Stopa family copy a copy.

Our two families are neighbors, and I hope to turn enemies into friends.

Baron Sofia was quite satisfied with Richard's answer.

Now, there are less than two thousand people in the Baron Stopa's territory.

These people are all slaves purchased by Sofia.

The Stopa territory has a complete castle and cultivated fields. Compared with the Harland family, production is easier to resume.

In order to defend the territory, Sofia recruited soldiers from the slaves and formed a squadron of private troops.

But she There was no breathing technique, no qualified officers, no technology to resume production, and the family's collection of books was lost.

Various problems followed one after another, making it difficult for Sofia to cope with them.

At this time, Sofia accidentally heard Richard next door using healing spells to treat injured slaves.

The magic book lost by the Stopa family recorded two spells for treating minor injuries and treating minor injuries.

When the orcs invaded, Richard was stationed in a nearby castle.

All signs showed that Richard was the one who took away the family's collection of books. She had doubts in her heart and immediately decided to come to the Harland territory to meet Richard.

If Richard did not admit it, she was ready to give Richard a fireball.

Then she grabbed Richard, whether it was to negotiate with William or tell him Go to the noble court and charge the Harland family with theft, and take the initiative into your own hands.

Even if it offends the Harland family, it is worth it.

Moreover, catching Richard and taking back the Silver Wolf Breathing Method can not only train soldiers, but also solve many production problems with the treasured craft books in the family.

Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly. Richard directly admitted to stealing the collection and was willing to compensate for the loss.

Such an attitude was beyond Baron Sofia's expectations.

Baron Sofia knew that the Harland family had just been promoted to hereditary barons, and they had no foundation and could not have any precious collections of books.

But this first-generation hereditary baron with military merits is best at war.

Gaining the goodwill and favor of the Harland family, The northern border, where wars are frequent, is very important for the safety of the Stopa family's territory.

Richard returned the blue badge he carried with him to Sophia, and then returned the original magic book.

After getting the magic book, Richard copied two copies early.

One copy was given to his sister Wendy, and the other was placed in the family library.

Richard asked his sister Wendy to copy the books collected by Baron Stopa in order according to their importance.

Wendy mainly did this work for the whole year last year.

In a whole year, more than half of the Stopa family's collection of books has been copied, and the investment in paper and ink alone is as much as 200 gold coins.

The original books brought from Vickburg are no longer useful to the Harland family.

"Turning enemies into friends?

Our two families are neither enemies nor friends. How can we talk about turning enemies into friends?

Does the Harland family want to be friends with our Stopa family? "

"Of course, we want to be friends with all the nobles nearby."

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Baron Sophia took the badge and magic book, and prepared to go to Black River Castle with Richard in a few days to take back the Stopa family's collection of books.

Sophia was about to leave when she was suddenly stopped by Richard.

"Here are some broken beehives with some unhatched bee eggs inside. I wonder if they are useful to your family?"

Richard took out the purple-headed peak beehives picked up from Vick Castle from the house and showed them to Sophia.

Sophia took these broken beehives, observed them carefully for a moment, and used the detection of life spell. She couldn't hide her smile and said, "The remaining bee eggs still have vitality. After using the life spell, there should be some chances to activate the bee eggs. "

Richard knew that insects have strong vitality, and many insect eggs can hide in the soil for more than ten years, waiting for a suitable time to hatch.

The purple-headed peak queen bee is also a first-level magic beast, and the eggs it lays are very special. After reading the collection of books in Baron Stopa's house, Richard knew that the purple-headed peak bee eggs are also a precious medicine that can be used to detoxify.

Especially snake venom and scorpion venom, most of which can be detoxified with bee eggs.

Knowing the preciousness of this thing, Richard has kept the insect eggs until now.

Today, the victim came to the door, which made Richard very embarrassed. When Sophia was about to leave, Richard was reluctant to return the bee eggs to the original owner.
