Count Malzkent of Emden has been a little restless lately.

Can't tell what's going on, anyway, it's just inexplicable flustered.

He thought to himself, could it be because Mr. Barnett has not been here for a long time?

Although this mysterious mage used to come and go without a trace, and only came to his territory once in a while, but after he revealed his future plans, it was too unusual for him to let go of him like this.

Fortunately, Barnett gave him a detailed account of what he was going to do in the future before leaving last time, and told Malzkent: If he is entangled in other things and cannot get away, he will act according to the plan.

This at least prevented the Earl of Kent from flying around like a headless fly.

But it seems that Barnett's side doesn't seem to be going too smoothly.

According to the plan, he should instigate the pirates in the northwest bay to attack the coastal territories, and then the Kent family will send troops to quell the pirates, so as to accumulate his prestige in the hearts of the coastal lords and create conditions for the future "inheritance" of the Northwest Duke.

But now it seems that there is no movement.

There was news about the pirates, but they were wiped out by the Greiman family in Arda. These pirates are really useless, even such a weak family can easily clean them up.

But it was that Paul Grayman again. I spared him last time. Why is this guy still jumping like this? It spoiled my good work.

Mr. Barnett has been late, do you want to bypass the pirates and start the next step?

The Earl of Kent was indecisive all day long, and worried, he drank a few more glasses of that special "drink".

Today, he was flipping through books in his study, hoping that this way he would not be so anxious.

Suddenly the guard came to report that it was a child who asked to see him. The Earl of Kent was furious, why everyone wanted to see him casually, what did this guard do.

He was just about to scold the guard, but the guard seemed to have anticipated the earl's reaction, and hurriedly added: "He said he knew Master Barnett!"

"You báichī! Hurry up and invite him in!"

Maltz Kent was really furious this time! Why is this guard so ignorant.

"Bring him into the hall!"

The earl roared loudly, the guards responded obediently, and left in a hurry.

Maltz Kent immediately changed into clean clothes, hurried to the castle hall, and sat on the main seat to wait for the visitors.

After a while, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside, and the guard led a person in.

"Really...really...really a child?"

The Earl of Kent couldn't believe his eyes.

At first, he just thought that the other party was younger, so the guard said that a child came to visit him.

But the person walking into the hall now is indeed a little boy in his early ten years old! The little guy was also leaning on a strangely shaped wooden staff, which was taller than his body, which felt very uncoordinated.

"Earl of Kent! You... hello! My name is Andy, and I am here to help you according to Master Barnett's instructions."

The little boy has blond hair and looks very cute with a chubby face, but he stutters and seems very nervous and shy.

The earl was stunned, and the other party became even more nervous when he saw that he didn't answer, and stood awkwardly at the door, neither entering nor retreating.

"Uh...cough! Are you?" He didn't hear what the little boy said just now.

"I... My name is Andy, and I came to assist you according to Master Barnett's instructions."

Andy repeated again, stammering.

"Come here and talk!"

The count put on a straight face. To be honest, he really didn't know how to deal with it now, so he had to show his usual majesty.

"Yes... yes, Lord Earl!"

Andy immediately trotted to Earl of Kent's side.

"You said that you were ordered by Master Barnett to help me, how can you prove that you are not lying?"

"this…"

Andy tilted his head, as if he was worried about how to prove it.

"Is this ok?"

He only heard the little boy spit out an unknown language, and then smashed the wooden stick in his hand to the ground.

With a whoosh, a flame ignited at the top of the wooden stick.

"Ah! You are...you are..."

The count's eyeballs were about to pop out, and the little kid in front of him actually possessed the power he dreamed of.

"Yes, I am a mage who belongs to the secret law huì."

Andy admitted quietly.

"Master Andy...please sit down!"

The awe of the mage made the Earl of Kent's attitude turn around 180 degrees, his voice became softer, and the tone of his voice became much lower.

"I can't afford the title of master, you should call me by my name directly."

Apparently Andy was not used to the title "Master". He shook his head uneasily and quickly corrected the other party's statement.

"Then, little friend Andy, please sit down."

The little boy now sat down in a chair next to the count.

God is not fair! The count cried out in his heart. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Such a young child can swim in the sea of ​​magic, but he is still rejected from the door. It's really annoying.

Of course, he would not show it on his face, and immediately asked the question he was most concerned about: "Where did Master Barnett go?"

Andy shook his head: "I don't know either. I was ordered by him to come to your castle at this time a few months ago, saying that he wanted me to help the lord here. I thought I could see him here."

The Earl of Kent was very disappointed.

"Where do you come from?"

"A stronghold of the secret fǎhuì, I can't disclose it specifically."

"Then how did you get here?"

Don't say that you are a child who traveled across mountains and rivers to the Northwest Bay, or that your stronghold is right under my nose.

But the Earl of Kent thinks that he has very tight control over the territory, and he can detect the entry and exit of a fly.

"It was escorted by another companion. We disguised ourselves as business travelers and came here smoothly along the way."

Are there other mages traveling to and from the northwest? I don't know if I can find a way to see each other.

"Now Mr. Barnett is not here, can you help me by yourself?"

The little boy said with some uncertainty: "I can manipulate brain worms, can this help you?"

"Can, can, can!"

The Earl of Kent was overjoyed. Barnett told him that a special bug was used to sneak into Duke Ferdinand's body and manipulate the Duke's brain.

When he first found out, he felt goosebumps all over his body. He shuddered when he thought of what it would be like if there was a worm moving in his mind.

As long as the Duke can be manipulated, other things will be easy to handle even without Barnett.
