The few knightsâ words created a commotion on the walls.
River Shore City actually dispatched disciplinary knights?
Wasnât this too ridiculous?
Disciplinary knights were troops directly under the wizard regimentâs chief. They were tougher than the patrols.
River Shore Cityâs disciplinary knights troop didnât have more than twenty members, but every single one of them was a peak 2nd rank expert.
Dispatching three of those?
This was definitely not to arrest an evil followerâŠ
All the members of the Bramble team were shocked. Gru was staring at Cat.
The latter was calm. He was sneering inwardly.
While Masked Twin Blades was threatening him, of course he would listen. But despite Masked Twin Bladesâ backing, he also had the backing of that person in some way, and his position was quite high.
He was ready to gamble!
He obviously didnât want to participate in the intrigues of the upper layer of River Shore City, but giving information could lead to a huge reward. Why shouldnât he do it?
As for Masked Twin Bladesâ retaliation, ahahahah, such a joke. Masked Twin Blades was quite strong, but he still hoped to escape three disciplinary knights?
Surely not!
Thinking of this, he couldnât help but show a complacent expression.
His eyes suddenly twitched.
What about Masked Twin Blades?
He was just standing there, how did he suddenly disappear?
Not waiting for Catâs reaction, a weak but firm voice echoed from the depth of the castle:
âDisciplinary Knights? Are the disciplinary knights free right now?â
âWhen my White River Valley was occupied by the gnolls, where were you?â
âWhere did your oath of loyalty toward the wizard alliance go?â
âWhite River Valley is my territory. You trespassed into my territory and still think of capturing someone? This is a grave violation of the wizard alliance regulations!â
âYour actions have already seriously offended me! I donât know who urged you to do this, but Iâll now ask you this. Get the fuck out of my territory!
Words kept pouring, each one harsher than the previous.
A pale, thin and weak youth appeared on the castle walls. He looked like he was recovering from a serious illness.
It felt like a gust of wind could blast him off the walls.
However, he was standing perfectly straight. The three knights below could clearly hear his loud and clear voice!
Their faces changed!
âŠ
âMy Lord!â
âMy Lord!â
âMy Lord, when did you come back!?â
The garrison members immediately rushed over!
They thought Marvin was still in River Shore City waiting for their good news.
They didnât expect that Marvin had already arrived inside the castle!
Cat looked at Marvin who just arrived, cursing his bad luck.
âThis young noble is smart!â
âHe should have been following us all along. He probably entered the castle yesterday night, covered by Anna and the others!
As for Masked Twin Blades, he likely had been told to escape!
âIâm done for!â
Verne covered his head. A swift mind like his already knew what would happen next!
âŠ
Marvin was indeed a destitute noble.
But nobility was still nobility.
In River Shore City, he became penniless due to losing his territory. Even gangs and casino dared to bully him.
The city hall dared to fool him because of this too. âUnable to keep your own territory, even if you are a noble, so what?â
âRiver Shore City isnât your territory, you have no authority here.â
But it was different in White River Valley.
This was Marvinâs territory!
Marvin had the most authority in this land. This power was bestowed upon him by the wizard alliance.
Any attempt at challenging the overlordâs decisions would be a provocation toward the south wizard alliance!
No one would dare to do something like this!
Even those disciplinary knights with extremely high status in River Shore City wouldnât dare to.
White River Valley and River Shore City had no relation with each other. White River Valley was completely independent. Even if it was a warrant from River Shore Cityâs Lord, Marvin could choose to ignore it!
Because this territory belonged to his grandfather, a hard-working high level wizard. The south wizard alliance would safeguard Marvinâs power!
Because of the wizardsâ supreme rule, at least for now, not many people dared to take risks for a bit of benefit.
The three disciplinary knights immediately turned flabbergasted.
Their backer seemed to have underestimated White River Valleyâs young baron.
The latter was not only not as weak as the stories said, he was also quite unyielding!
Their group rushing in without Marvinâs permission was definitely an offense to avoid.
Want to arrest someone in White River Valley? Without Marvinâs permission, it was simply impossible!
The three men looked at eacher in dismay, somewhat angry.
But they had no other way. Even if the castle gates were closed, they could still use their strength and kill their way in. Furthermore, they could act together with the Lynx team.
But they didnât dare!
This was an overlordâs dignity!
It came from the era of wizard supremacy!
Since the Calamity had yet to come, Marvin could definitely scare people using his connections!
âŠ
The three disciplinary knights were silent for a moment before one of them yelled, âBaron Marvin, Masked Twin Blades is a very dangerous criminalâŠâ
He was forcefully interrupted by Marvin, âI havenât seen the official warrant from River Shore Cityâs city hall!â
âI only saw an anonymous warrant in the major guilds. This kind of warrant, as long as they were wealthy, anyone could do it, right? As I see it, Sir Masked Twin Blades has earned the hatred of a very wealthy family.â
âBut I donât care about these kinds of things. You can look for Masked Twin Blades elsewhere if you want to catch him. This is my territory. He is welcomed like any civilian, craftsman, or merchant.â
Stopping there, Marvin feigned a severe coughing fit, and then added in a strict tone, âLeave!â
âWe just cleared the gnolls and quite a lot of work is left to be dealt with.â
âWhen I was at my worst, River Shore City didnât give me any help.â
âSo, from now on, White River Valley will not welcome any official from River Shore City!â
Those words shocked everyone!
Even Anna was startled!
Marvinâs sentence was akin to breaking off diplomatic ties with River Shore City!
This wasnât a joke. Never mind the rest of the things, but when it came to food, White River Valley would buy from River Shore City every year!
How would they solve the food issue after breaking off diplomatic ties? How would they solve the trade issue?
This was a huge issue.
âLordâŠâ Anna wanted to say something.
Marvin waved his hand, pretending to be quite angry, âI already made my decision.â
âIâll go rest now.â
âIf those three knights arenât willing to leave, I can use use the [Ninth Month Medal] to ask for a wizard allianceâs arbiter.â
He silently left after saying this.
Everyone on the wall was left dumbstruck.
The adventurers all showed different expressions. Gru was actually relaxed. He bet that Masked Twin Blades should be in the castle.
With Baron Marvinâs unyielding attitude, those three disciplinary knights didnât dare to break in.
Sure enough, after hearing that Marvin was willing to use the [Ninth Month Medal], their faces immediately turned dark. They left without saying a word.
They had no way. They could only report this.
Those three knights were burning in anger. They had originally thought that it would be a piece of cake. But they didnât expect this young noble to actually be this tough.
They hadnât expected this kind of outcome at all.
But now that they thought about it, it seemed like this young noble had been quite bullied in River Shore City. Loathing the law enforcement and falling out wasnât surprising at all.
âŠ
âSince our mission has already been completed, our team should also depart.â
Verne had an ugly look on his face as he saw Annaâs smile.
He didnât know whether Masked Twin Blades had already noticed him leaking information. But staying in the castle was clearly not a good idea.
Hurrying back to River Shore City was good.
âIf I was really noticed by Masked Twin BladesâŠâ
Thinking of this, Verne felt something cold on his back. He clearly saw Marvin fight sixty gnolls and one shaman by himself yesterday.
Even if his team was well equipped and tough, it wasnât worth mentioning when compared with Marvin.
Of course, he didnât expect that Marvin had actually taken a potion; he thought that Marvin had been hiding his strength.
âOf course, you are welcome to come back to White River Valley as a guest.â
Anna lightly smiled, immediately releasing the Lynx team.
This was Marvinâs idea. Even though she didnât know much about Young Master Marvinâs plan, she still did as she was told.
In any case, ever since that serious illness, Young Master Marvin hadnât made any bad decisions.
The Lynx group left the castle.
Night arrived and the castle looked somewhat cold and desolate. After all, besides the garrison, there were only a few people.
Most of the territoryâs inhabitants were still in the countryside. Anna would send people early tomorrow to request those inhabitants to come back.
At that time, the reconstruction of White River Valley would start.
However, inside Marvinâs study in the middle of the night, Bramble teamâs captain Gru was restlessly and worriedly sitting in front of a desk.
An extremely thin and weak looking Marvin feigned surprise. âIs what you said true? Sir Masked Twin Blades already left?â
âHe said that the way to solve your daughterâs plague is in my study?â
Gru nodded heavily. Masked Twin Blades had said those things. He remembered quite clearly.
âAh, thatâs great. Iâll look through those books to see if by any chance there is something about a [Dark Sweet Poison]. You shouldnât worry; According to your statement, your daughter still has some time. I hope that Iâll be able to find the relevant book during that time.â
âThank you for this Sir Baron!â Gru had a grateful look.
He left the room.
After a moment, Anna walked in from a side door and faintly asked, âWhy not cure his daughter?â
Marvin quietly smiled, âI will.â
âBut not now.â
It was obviously not the time. The dark sweet poison was the plague godâs experiment. Curing it too early would attract the attention of the plague god.

Marvin didnât fear the gods, but he would also not brainlessly turn this into an antagonistic situation.
