Chapter 54: A Joint Assasination

“Did Blackmoon Castle’s eighth child really say that?”
They were in Wilber Liszt Manor; Wilber threw all the things in his hand onto the floor. The corners of his eyes twitched, and his face was as gloomy as the dark clouds in the sky. “B*stard! We’re not qualified for them? You’re not worthy to be Vincent’s fiancée? They may be lucky, but they are still part of a poor baron’s family. What resources do they have? How dare they talk like that? Had I been too polite with them?”
Wesley and a group of guards knelt in front of Wilber. The things that he threw had hit some of their heads. Blood seeped from their foreheads and dripped onto the ground slowly, but they could only remain silent.
Monica was also there. She used her hands to wipe the tears on her face. Her heavy makeup had been ruined.
“Father, you have to stand up for me! I finally made up my mind to be the Blackmoon Castle’s mistress, but this is how they treat me? They threw away the things that I brought there and even sent people to beat me up. They are a bunch of barbarians! I don’t want to go there anymore. Father, you have to send people to kill those who bullied me. They are insulting you, and they did not give our family any respect!”
Half a day had passed since Monica had gone to Blackmoon Castle. She had returned to the manor under Wesley’s protection, and she immediately complained to her father.
Wilber got even angrier when he saw his daughter’s appearance. His bloodshot eyes and his beard made him look like a lion that was about to devour someone.
“Wesley, how strong are the Blackmoon Castle’s guards?”
“Master, I’ve asked around. Blackmoon Castle organized recruitment twice, and they have about 30 people now. They even called themselves Blackmoon Knight. Those guards were bronze tier before they were recruited, and now they have a full set of weapons and armor of the same level. With their mounts, I’m afraid we are not their match,” Wesley said with difficulty.
It was not a secret that the Blackmoon Castle had recruited people at the border. Any ten men from the Blackmoon Castle would be able to trounce him. One of them could even fight ten of Wesley.
Even though there were a few hundred men in Wilber Liszt Manor, they had only three bronze tier warriors. The rest were like him or even were not as good as him. It would not be easy to deal with the 30 Blackmoon Knights.
Furthermore, Watson was not only a silver tier warrior and mage, but he also had a gold tier lion, a magical beast.
“Master, I think we need to consider this matter from a long-term perspective. If we want to attack Blackmoon Castle, we must have a gold tier warrior! In the entire border, only the border count would have such a strong man. Don’t you know the border count, Master? Should we ask him for help?” Wesley asked weakly.
“Gold tier warrior…” Wilber fell into deep thought.
The person who knew the border count was his sister, but she was only a maid in the count’s manor. Therefore, he would not be able to talk to the man. The count would not do anything for the family of a maid.
“I heard that there is a Rainbow Phoenix Chicken in Blackmoon Castle,” Wilber said after he restrained his anger.
“Perhaps it’s true; everyone is talking about it. I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, so I don’t know if it’s true.” Wesley was puzzled; he did not know why his master would ask that question, though he still answered honestly.
“Blackmoon Castle only had a Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken before this; how did they suddenly get a Rainbow Phoenix Chicken? Did they master some cultivation method to upgrade it?”
Wilber rolled his eyes as he thought about the profit.
Everyone knew that a Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken was hard to come by, but it was not impossible to encounter it in the wild if one were lucky. However, it was quite impossible for one to get a Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken and a Rainbow Phoenix Chicken consecutively. So, Wilber suspected that someone in Blackmoon Castle had mastered a special method to upgrade the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken. Perhaps they had also gotten the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken via that method.
The border count would have a price, and the cultivation method for a Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken would be worth a mention.
If there were such a method and Wilber could master it, then he could open a Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken farm and be the second Blackmoon Castle. At that time, even the border count would have to have to follow his orders.
“Blackmoon Castle! I was kind enough to betroth Monica to you. If you refuse this marriage, then don’t blame me for being rude!”
Wilber gritted his teeth and muttered as he waved at Wesley. “Go to the nearby manors and get me all the farmers who are upset with Blackmoon Castle. I want to talk to them! Also, I want to send a letter to Fairy Castle. I will spend 1,000 gold coins to get the border count to send a gold tier expert to destroy Blackmoon Castle in one fell swoop.”
Even if Blackmoon Castle did not have a way to cultivate a Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken, the castle and the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken were already worth at least 100,000 gold coins. Wilber knew that it was a good deal.
..
At the Blackmoon Castle.
“Watson, your actions are a little reckless. These people were here for me. Just let me get rid of them! If you do this, Wilber Liszt Manor will definitely hate you to death.”
It was dinner time, and the Watson family was at the dining table. Vincent wiped his mouth with a handkerchief as he spoke worriedly.
He was cultivating in his room when Monica was there that day. It was already too late when he found out about it.
Other than the Watson family, Alan and Liszt were also at the dining table. Wendy was also there. She was dressed in a maid’s outfit; she stood behind Watson and helped to serve the food.
They were able to eat with Watson and his family; it meant that Watson treated them as his own—it was an honor.
“Young Master Vincent, don’t worry. With our current strength, even if thousands of iron tier warriors attacked us, we would still be able to defend against them.”
Liszt knew the etiquette; he ate without a word. He did not say anything as Allen stuffed the bread into his mouth and said, “Of course, I’m not bragging. We’re strong today because of Young Master Watson’s wisdom and talent. He did not only master fusion magic, but he also has outstanding knowledge—”
“Alright, stop flattering me.”
Watson had a strange expression on his face as he said, “Eldest Brother, you don’t have to worry. If they want to attack Blackmoon Castle, then let them come.”
If Wilber had dared to attack them, then Watson would make sure that he did not have the chance to go back.
When the Blackmoon Knights trained, they went to the misty forest to capture more than 200 magical beasts. Those beasts were then fused with the Golden Flash; the beast had evolved into a six-winged golden chimera. Even though it was only a gold tier beast, its strength had far surpassed that of an ordinary gold tier magical beast.
“You are right. I will use this silver tier longbow to protect the castle and educate the bad guys.”
Scarlet took the longbow from her back and waved her fists.
Ever since she had obtained the silver tier longbow, it was no longer difficult for her to hunt small animals. Therefore, she was not satisfied with only hunting common animals. Instead, she wanted to place her target on humans. How could shooting small animals be as good as shooting people?
Watson thought that his sister had done quite well, and he continued to comfort Vincent, “Eldest Brother, after you’re done, take a bath and then sleep. Leave the rest to me.”
When he saw that Watson was so confident, Vincent suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and nodded at his brother.
After dinner, Watson returned to his bedroom. Wendy followed him into the room and helped him take off his clothes. Then, she said, “Young Master, do you want to take a bath? I can go boil some water now.”
“That’s a good idea…”
Watson nodded. He was about to say that he had been tired all day and wanted to take a shower to relieve his fatigue. At that moment, he smelled a strange fragrance in the air that he had never smelled before.
Only he and Wendy could enter his bedroom, so the strange smell proved that a stranger had been there. That person must be a gold tier expert since he could sneak into the compound without alerting the Golden Flash.
Watson’s expression turned serious; he was nervous.
