According to Earl Tarakhan's estimation, Eric should be very willing to marry his daughter.

He, the frontier earl, is not the top figure in the entire kingdom, but at least he is already a first-class boss. When a few counts unite, they can wrestle their arms even in the face of the king. A mere royal from a royal capital, a descendant of a civil official family, if he can marry his own daughter, he can save at least 20 years of struggle.

It is of course impossible for the royal capital aristocrats to switch to the local aristocratic camp, but a royal capital aristocrat who is married to a local powerful earl can become a bridge between the two sides. This status may not hold power, but the status will definitely be very high, and it will definitely be able to gain both fame and fortune.

For a young man, is there a better choice than this?

Not to mention that his daughter is also a magic lover. For a young magician, finding a woman who also loves magic as a wife can be said to be a happier thing.

Young people always have many romantic thoughts in their hearts and are eager to find people who share a common language to spend their life with. However, in the magician's world, the older you get, the stronger it becomes. Whether it is powerful magic or rare resources, it is often for the old magicians to enjoy first, and the rest can be the turn of the young people - women are no exception.

Most of those female magicians who came from commoners or minor nobles were mistresses of old magicians, while those with noble backgrounds would be accepted as students by the old magicians... Anyway, it was not the turn of those who did not come from a good background. young magicians.

Eric is young, and his spell skills are not very high (Wu Mian has only shown his talents in magic circles, alchemy, and enchanting). Although he has some special skills, in the field of magicians, spells are everything. The root of it, everything else is just an offshoot. The reason why he wants to go out and go out is probably because he is proud of his talent and offends those young people who have both talent and background...

In general, these ideas cannot be said to be unreasonable, but they are quite a bit... In the words of the Internet age, it means reading too many novels and opening too many brain holes.

This is like Mr. Lu Xun's famous article on moral criticism - from seeing a woman with short sleeves, you can quickly think of an illegitimate child... You can't say that his association has no sense at all, but compared to reason, his There must be something wrong with the sulci circuits.

So did Count Tarahan.

He never thought about the possibility of Eric rejecting him, but Eric refused, and the reason for rejection was so open and honest that no one could pick out the problem.

Looking at Eric with a sincere and regretful smile, the earl couldn't help but murmured in his heart.

(What kind of family is this kid from? So strict!)

He had the intention to let his contract demon try to read Eric's heart, but when he thought that the other party was also a professional magician, he gave up this unrealistic idea.

Since things can't be negotiated, the only thing left is to eat and drink.

After eating and drinking, the Count finally calmed down and decided to lead the topic to business.

"Your Excellency Eric, I have a very important commission here," he said. "Recently, an adventurer saw traces of suspected demon worshipers' activities in a valley south of Tarakhan City. I want to commission you. Go and investigate in detail to determine the authenticity, so that you can deal with it.”

Wumian had long thought of this possibility, and showed a look of surprise and indignation: "What?! There are still demon worshipers near Tarakhan City? Could it be that they made the altar last time?"

His eyes were murderous, and he looked like he was about to run away to fight with the demon worshiper: "No problem! We'll investigate now! Please give us a copy of the relevant information."

The Count smiled, and although things didn't quite go his way, it wasn't bad that it ended like this.

Eric and his friends are powerful and have a bad relationship with demons. It is obviously a good idea to let them fight the orphans of the Loka family who are suspected of summoning His Majesty Lamer, and then take advantage of the fisherman. s Choice.

And... he has long been uneasy about the presence of such a powerful group of adventurers near Tarakhan City. These adventurers are powerful, but they seem to have no desires. They frantically complete various tasks, slaying all monsters and bandits, but they don't seem to pursue any power status, and they don't care so much about wealth-in general, they seem to care more about "adventure" itself.

No lord would like such a person. This kind of person is not easy to control and is a double-edged sword.

In particular, Earl Tarahan has a problem with his own identity. He can bet that once it is revealed that he is a demon contractor, Eric and his partners will definitely call without saying a word, and they may drag hundreds of them. The clergy of the plan together.

In that kind of battle, it is very difficult for the Tarakhan family to win. Even if he barely wins this game, the king will definitely use this as an excuse to attack. At that time, the Tarahan family, whose vitality has been severely damaged, will definitely not have the chance to escape by chance.

Therefore, Earl Tarakhan has long thought of killing Eric's group.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, let Eric's group and the orphans of the Roca family join forces, and then the dead soldiers secretly cultivated by the count's subordinates will take action to destroy the surviving party and kill the two at once. To eliminate the unsettling factor together, it really kills two birds with one stone!

Although he was thinking so in his heart, the count showed a worried expression on his face and advised: "You don't have to worry, this matter is no trivial matter, and you must proceed with caution."

"Careful? In the face of demons, of course, you must be cautious. But that is a matter of battle. Before the battle, you need to speed up and find them out." Wumian said sternly, "Every day you delay, the demons It may grow a little bit stronger. They may transform animals into purgatory creatures, plants into ogre trees, ordinary people into ferocious and powerful demigods. It is even possible to build altars and open portals to hell... ... Your Excellency Count, this matter really cannot be delayed, it must be dealt with as soon as possible!"

"...You are right, then I will prepare the soldiers of the Tarakhan leadership for battle. As soon as you detect solid information, we will send troops immediately!" The earl said solemnly, and asked his secretary to bring it. A piece of information, handed over to Wushen.

Wu Mian glanced at the information, showing a slightly anxious look: "This matter is no trivial matter! Your Excellency Count, I will retire first, because I have to go back as soon as possible and arrange related things."

"No problem, I wish you all the best."

Seeing the figure of Eric leaving and leaving, the earl couldn't help laughing, smiling happily.

He didn't know that when Wu Mian turned to leave, he had already sent a sentence in the chat channel.
