Chapter 239: Chapter 165 The Origin of the Hunter Profession (4067)_1

Within the troops of the Baron Taketick family, someone discovered the shenanigans of a wizard. This ignited their fury, and they drew their swords, loudly demanding that anyone plotting against the Taketick family reveal themselves.

The one who led the troops, Baron Taketick, was a tall man. He didn’t wear any armor, but instead was dressed in casual white attire.

He appeared frivolous and was watching his knights fall off their horses with an amused expression.

Compared to a serious knight lord, Baron Taketick behaved more like a playful debauchee, or perhaps a dissipated aristocrat.

Several knights had taken notice of Ivita.

They looked at the attendant knight lying on the ground, his body wrapped in a cocoon of electricity.

Two soldiers attempted to help him up, but as they bent down to touch him, they screamed.

Because the fallen knight attendant’s body erupted with lightning.

This meant that the spell had not been lifted yet.

It was still injuring the knight attendant.

Five knights directed their horses to canter towards Ivita, they encircled him, all pointing their knight swords at him.

"Wizard, quickly cancel the magic on our people from the Taketick family," one demanded.

"You dared to attack members of our family!"

"Youer..."

Before the knights could finish their sentences, Ivita snapped his fingers and flames erupted from beneath the horses’ hooves.

Of course, these flames would not kill these horses mixed with magical creatures, but they did throw the accusing knights into disarray, struggling to calm their startled horses to prevent being thrown off.

Ivita retorted at the flustered knights, "I am the lord of this territory, Ivita."

"You provoke others on my land, but have you ever considered me!"

"Since that is the case, I am now declaring that my territory is not welcoming to any of you. Please leave my territory. Otherwise, I will consider your behavior as an act of declaration of war against me!"

The faces of the five old knights changed.

They did not expect that the young wizard was, in fact, the revered lord of this place, and perhaps held a higher rank than theirs.

What’s more, he was trying to expel them from his land.

The knights exchanged glances, all aware that they might have acted recklessly before.

However, it seemed too late to regret now.

The old knight with a scar on his face said to Ivita, "Wait a moment, honored lord. Lord Ivita, we were previously unaware of your identity. One can’t be blamed for what they don’t know. If we knew who you were, we would’ve shown you the respect you deserve."

He jumped off his horse, bowing to Ivita.

Baron Taketick initially watched with an amused detachment, letting events unfold.

He had already gained a reputation as a philanderer within the Winchester territory, a characteristic that seemed to intensify when away from home.

But the situation seemed to have exceeded his expectations.

The one who had punished his knights was the lord of this territory.

Baron Taketick then realized, his deliberate debauchery was not only provoking the troops of Ambros City Council, but also Ivita.

Although Viscount Winchester and his Baron Alliance weren’t afraid to offend Ivita,

That was only under the circumstances where Ivita had declared war against Viscount Winchester and the Baron Alliance.

Otherwise, Viscount Winchester would not want to offend the lord here.

The status of the baron’s territory here, for various reasons, was gradually rising and could not simply be regarded as ordinary baron territory.

Most importantly, he was neither Viscount Winchester nor a representative of the Baron Alliance.

Personally causing trouble for a powerful territorial lord was something he was unwilling to do.

That would be utterly foolish.

Even a libertine like Baron Taketick knew that it was a foolish action.

Not to mention, how could they perform their task if Ivita expelled them now?

He immediately sobered up and walked his horse over, scolding his knights. "How dare you be so disrespectful to Lord Ivita, this is not the type of manners the Taketick family should have!"

"Lord Ivita, it’s nice to meet you, you can call me Baron Taketick."

"I apologize for the disturbance caused by my foolish subordinates, but I believe this is all a misunderstanding, don’t you think?"

Ivita raised his eyebrows and fell silent, removing the flame magic.

He wanted an explanation from the young baron before him.

As for the knights of the Taketick family, they didn’t give much respect to the Peacock Baron.

In the eyes of the five old knights, if it weren’t for the premature death of the old Baron Taketick, this ridiculous incompetant wouldn’t be able to lead them.

As such, the five old knights showered Baron Taketick with disdainful glances and contemptuous harrumphs.

An old knight with a scar on his face sneered at him, "You finally woke up from your drunken stupor and left the arms of your prostitutes. How rare. Now even you can represent our family and speak."

Baron Taketick’s face turned sour, "What did you say?"

The old knight snorted. "I didn’t say anything, you must have misheard."

"How could I dare to resent our family head."

Baron Taketick’s face turned an ugly shade, but because of his youth and debauchery, his control over the family had indeed dropped to a horrifyingly low level.
