Chapter 408 Storm Mage
"Sir, the new people sent by the Grand Duke are about to arrive. Should we act according to the previous plan?"

In the bright study, Count Karl, the nominal lord of the Green Island, lowered his head and asked seriously.

In front of him, Ye Mo sat behind his desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the surface as he replied calmly, "No, the people they brought this time are not ordinary. According to the information I just received, the Storm Mage Saint is here too."

Upon hearing this, Count Karl was shocked and said in disbelief: "What? How is this possible!"

The pioneering chamber of commerce they founded had only been officially established for a month. Although because of the huge interests behind it, his sister, who is now the wife of Grand Duke Blackstone, had an idea and sent a lot of people to "assist" him.

But the Chamber of Commerce has only been established for a month. In such a short period of time, the other party cannot find out much information. Therefore, even if they have greedy thoughts, it is impossible for them to let a Principality Guardian-level being come.

This doesn't make sense anyway.

You know, in the entire Blackrock Principality, there are only three fifth-level holy domains, and after the Blackrock Sword Saint died in the Bloody Sea, there were only two left.

Moreover, this [Storm Mage] is not a strong man from the lineage of Grand Duke Blackrock, but a strong man from the family of Marquis Storm of the Duchy. He is also the only fifth-level existence among other nobles except the family of Grand Duke Blackrock.

Such a powerful person needs to be treated with respect even by the Grand Duke of Blackrock, so how could the Lord [Storm Mage] be sent here by the Grand Duke of Blackrock?

Seeing Earl Karl's puzzled look, Ye Mo chuckled and explained, "Don't worry, the Storm Mage Sage's purpose in coming here wasn't you, but me."

"Is it you, my lord?" Count Karl muttered, then suddenly realized: "Could it be that the blood that you, my lord, created..."

Before he could finish, Ye Mo nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it is the Blood Moon Pirates.

Over the past month, I have led the Blood Moon Pirates to attack many nobles in the eastern region of the Principality, but Grand Duke Blackstone has not taken any action before, which has led to complaints from both the nobles and the people.

Faced with this situation, the Grand Duke of Blackrock still did not take any action. That was because the Blackrock Swordmaster suddenly died here. It was suspected that it was my Blood Moon Pirates who took action.

But what my Blood Moon Pirates have done now is still beyond the tolerance of Grand Duke Blackrock. Therefore, if the Black Rock Sword Master is suspected to have been killed by my Blood Moon Pirates, it is not enough to deter Grand Duke Blackrock and his men.

That's why, due to the negotiation of interests, they allowed the veteran fifth-level expert, the Storm Marquis's family's [Storm Mage], to come."

Hearing this, Count Carl nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of admiration. You know, that was the Grand Duke of Blackstone, the top man in the entire principality. Even such a figure was afraid of his master, which showed how right his choice was to join him.

However, the power of Lord Storm Mage is much greater than that of Grand Duke Blackrock. If such a powerful being comes, can Lord Blood Moon leave safely?

Thinking of this, Earl Karl, who was worried, raised his head and said cautiously, "My lord, although I know that you are very powerful, the Storm Mage is, after all, a powerful figure who has been famous throughout the sea for more than a hundred years. It would be too risky for you to go there in person.

"Your Excellency, please seek refuge on another island for a while. As for the Storm Mage, if I take action, he will never find you."

Ye Mo stretched out his hand and waved, saying, "No need, I have made up my mind. Although the Storm Mage Saint is extremely powerful, I already have a way to deal with him, so you can rest assured.

By the way, after this, I will have the Golden Skeleton King come out and speak for you. That way, even if the Blackrock Duke has more ideas in the future, he won't openly cause trouble for you."

During this period, due to the rapid development of the established Pioneering Chamber of Commerce, those who coveted it were no longer limited to the Eastern Region of the Principality. This can be seen from the fact that the Grand Duchess of Blackstone sent letters to Earl Carl and arranged for many people to come to Green Island.

Although the people that the other party was planning to plant had already been on their way here, they were attacked by pirates and sank to the bottom of the sea due to bad "luck", but if this continued, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Therefore, it would be better to let the prepared character, a fake character such as a fifth-level necromancer who lives in seclusion on a deserted island, appear to support Count Karl.

In this way, there would be a good reason why the Development Chamber of Commerce possessed so many rare resources and high-level spirit crystals.

After all, in the eyes of others, since there is a fifth-level necromancer behind the Kaituo Chamber of Commerce, it is quite reasonable for them to have these.

"I understand, Lord Blood Moon." Count Carl replied with respect, and his eyes at this moment showed a look of worship like a believer.

Ye Mo nodded slightly and said to Count Karl in front of him: "Well, then you can go and get busy first."

"As you command, sir." After saying this, Count Karl respectfully left the room, leaving behind only the slight creaking sound of the door closing.

"What a pity, why are all the people sent over there slaves? Otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome." Ye Mo complained lightly, and thought in his heart about the specific situation of the people sent by Grand Duchess Black Stone.

Originally, he wanted to counter-control those who were sent by the Grand Duchess of Blackstone to control the Green Island and make them his own people through trading contracts.

After all, a transaction contract cannot be violated. Even if the success rate of signing is not high, as long as it is signed successfully, you don’t have to worry about betrayal by good subordinates.

This can be seen from the fact that he has had many loyal supporters from the families of Grand Duke Blackrock and Marquis Storm during this period.

But unfortunately, no one knows what the Grand Duchess was thinking. The people she sent were almost all people who had signed slave contracts, rather than those fourth-level strongmen. They were all the other party's loyal subordinates.

It is impossible to get such a person to sign a transaction contract, so he chose to sink him to the bottom of the sea.

"Forget it, I'd better go and inform Hanhan first and ask him to be prepared. After all, he is facing a fifth-level person alone. If something unexpected happens, it will be troublesome." Ye Mo shook his head and said to himself.

That's right, this time when dealing with the fifth-level [Storm Mage], he planned to let Hanhan play alone, and there was of course a reason for this.

Today, the threat posed by the Blood Moon Pirates to the Blackrock Principality is well known to everyone. The fact that the Grand Duke of Blackrock made a deal to get the Storm Mage here is clear evidence of this.

Therefore, it is also necessary to demonstrate the strength of the Blood Moon Pirates.

As long as Hanhan can fight the [Storm Mage] to a draw, this performance will be enough to make Grand Duke Blackrock turn a blind eye to his looting of the Eastern Region islands.

After all, strength is the greatest truth, and possessing the strength of the fifth level is the ultimate truth here. With only one fifth-level person left in the Blackstone Grand Duke's family, it is impossible to provoke a fifth-level strongman unless there is a certainty of killing.

As for the second and third reason for sending Hanhan into battle, it was to test Hanhan's current strength. After Hanhan's multiple King-level skills were upgraded to Perfection and his Domain became a Monarch-level Domain, it was difficult to gauge Hanhan's current strength. Although the Golden Skeleton King was also a Level 5, he was, after all, a necromancy creature, naturally restrained by Hanhan's thunder. Furthermore, the Skeleton King excelled at defense, so a fight would be impossible to gauge. Therefore, having him fight the Storm Mage would also allow Hanhan to better understand his own strength.

As for the safety factor, there is no need to worry too much. Not to mention that he will use the Golden Skeleton King and Bai You's summoning formation as a backup, just the battle record of the [Storm Mage] is enough to make him feel at ease.

According to what he knew, although the [Storm Mage] was a legendary figure who became famous in the sea a hundred years ago, his strength was indeed average.

Back then, [Black Rock Swordmaster] had challenged the opponent to a duel, and although [Storm Mage] ultimately won the battle, it was not an easy victory.

From this, we can also estimate the strength of the [Storm Mage]. After all, that competition happened not many years ago.

After making up his mind, Ye Mo stood up and flew out directly towards the open window.

…………

In the boundless sea of ​​the Blackrock Duchy, a small fleet consisting of three warships was sailing slowly.

Although they are not large in scale, in terms of deterrence, they are probably not comparable to the large fleets formed by some nobles, because the flags flying on these warships are the flags of the Grand Duke of Blackstone.

"Lord Renault." A reverent voice sounded, and a middle-aged man in gold-threaded clothes walked onto the deck and shouted respectfully to a white-haired old man in front of him.

Although he is the captain of this ship and a close confidant of the Grand Duchess of Blackstone, his status and position are naturally not low, but if compared with the person in front of him, he is probably not even a speck of dust.

After all, the old man in the purple robe in front of him is one of the few fifth-level Sanctuary-level guardians in the entire principality. He was a big man who became famous in the sea hundreds of years ago. He is the guardian of the Storm family, which is known as the strongest family under the Grand Duke, Lord Renault Storm.

"What's wrong?" A cold voice sounded, and [Storm Mage] Raynor turned his head, revealing sharp eyes from behind his hood, and his old face could hardly conceal his powerful aura.

"Sir, we have arrived at the East China Sea." The middle-aged man who is the captain said nervously with his head down.

After hearing this, [Storm Mage] Raynor nodded slightly and said, "I understand. You may leave now."

"Yes." The middle-aged man wiped the non-existent sweat from his face and quickly left the deck.

The Storm Mage Raynor, who stayed at the front of the deck, now had a sharp look in his eyes, gazing at the vast sea ahead.

He came here this time because Grand Duke Blackrock offered him an offer that was hard to refuse. That was why he came here to personally test the Blood Moon Pirates who had suddenly become a major threat to the principality.

He didn't take the Blood Moon Pirates seriously. After all, based on the existing intelligence, although the Blood Moon Pirates were strong, they were still far behind the true fifth-level Sanctuary.

As for the sudden death of the Black Rock Sword Master in the Blood Shining Sea, he did not think it was caused by the Blood Moon Pirates. In his opinion, the probability of the Black Rock Sword Master dying at the hands of the sea monsters was much greater than that of the Blood Moon Pirates.

After all, the strength of the ocean monsters is indeed terrifying, and the appearance of some natural disasters is very likely. After all, such things have happened in the past.

However, he was an experienced veteran Sanctuary-level warrior after all. Although he looked down on the Blood Moon Pirates, he had made all the necessary preparations.

Whether it was rare magic items for defense or space magic scrolls for saving his life and escaping, he brought everything he could.

After all, his family is not as powerful as the Grand Duke of Blackstone. If something happens to him, the entire family of Marquis Storm may be destroyed, so he cannot gamble on this possibility.

"Hmm?" [Storm Mage] Raynor frowned, suddenly turned his head and looked to the left side of the fleet, where it seemed as if something was coming.

Just as he was about to use his mental power to investigate, a figure suddenly rushed out of the captain's room. That person was the middle-aged man from before and also the captain of this ship.

"Lord Saint Renault, something bad has happened. A warship is coming quickly and is targeting us. The ship is flying the Blood Moon flag, so it must be the Blood Moon Pirates." The middle-aged man ran out with a look of panic on his face and shouted loudly.

Although he had never seen the Blood Moon Pirates, he knew a lot about them. After all, as the Duchess's trusted subordinate, he knew how the fleets sent by the Duchess here were destroyed several times before.

Although they did not encounter the Blood Moon Pirates every time, two of the three fleets sent out before were attacked by the Blood Moon Pirates and sank in the sea.

In this situation, how could he not be afraid?

"I know. I'm here. Why are you panicking?" The blue-robed and white-haired Storm Mage Renault spoke calmly with a serious expression.

As soon as the words were spoken, the crew members on the ship, who knew that the Blood Moon Pirates were attacking, all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, we have the Storm Mage here this time. If those pirates dare to target us, they will only be asking for trouble."

"Great! With the Lord Mage here, I'm sure we can wipe out the Blood Moon Pirates this time."

Listening to the excited words of the crew members and everyone's words of confidence in his strength, [Storm Mage] Raynor did not react at all. He just frowned and activated the space ring. In an instant, several magic items appeared on his body.

"The Blood Moon Pirates? Then let me test your strength myself."

After saying this, he did not fly away from the fleet without permission, but waited quietly on the deck.

Although he knew that the news of his presence here would be difficult to leak out and the other party was most likely unaware of his presence, he still ought to be cautious. Since the other party dared to come over, there was no need for him to take the risk and rush over.

Otherwise, what if you hit a trap?

The cautious [Storm Mage] Renault nodded secretly in his heart, his eyes fixed on the distance.
