Arcane Lord

I saw Aibok take out a piece of parchment and hand it to Lord Saville, and at the same time explained: "This is the list of collaborators I found related to the death of Fairbus. There are many rats in the territory!"

"That's all?" Epps glanced at it, and it didn't differ much from what he knew.

"No, these are just lightly hidden, and some are not exposed!" As he said, Aibo pointed to the last name on the list and asked, "What did you think of when you saw this name?"

"Harvey?" Epps couldn't remember who this person was for a moment, but it was obvious that he knew there was such a person, "Who is Harvey?"

[Biquge www.sbiquge.me] "He is a steward of the Territory Branch of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce. This is just a small role, but the problem is the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce. I found a batch of grain in their warehouse, and... Some have even been sent to Conefira.”

"What?!"

Lord Epps was very shocked. He had never received this news before. "Did you check it yourself?"

"Yes, I personally checked it." Aibo also knew the seriousness of the matter. The Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce was naturally not worth mentioning, but it would not be so simple to steal food from Savile so blatantly.

"snort!"

An unknown fire ignited in Lord Epps's heart. Although he knew that Fairbos's incident most likely had nothing to do with the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, but they jumped out so impatiently, did they really think that he would turn a blind eye?

The basis of Savile Territory's prosperity is its position as a food supply and material transit center for the border trade city of Conefira.

Putting aside these, Savile Territory is just an ordinary territory. If you dare to stretch your hand in the grain trade, you must be prepared to be cut off.

In addition, it is extremely uneconomical to bypass the territory to provide food to Conifera from the perspective of merchants making profits, but they still do it, so there must be greater interests driving them, or someone is threatening them. !

Epps thought about the Angli Territory behind the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce. After several generations of inheritance, the current lord is a great mage. He seems powerful, but in fact he is not as good as the Saville Territory.

Just because in the core area of ​​the empire, spellcasters prefer to live in the territory of the Great Arcanist, or Severton. There are too few opportunities and insufficient attraction in other places, and the development of the territory is quite limited.

That's why various chambers of commerce emerged. If there were no chambers of commerce to make money, the lords would run away.

Epps does not think that such an Angry Territory poses a threat to the territory. Even the Archmage is no match for him when he comes to the Saville Territory.

"Ai Bok, please lead someone to seize the grain first. If anyone dares to resist, arrest them together and wait for me to come back to deal with it."

In terms of the core interests of the territory, Lord Epps did not hesitate at all. Compared to the possible threat to the princess, the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce was really nothing.

If it weren't for the possible involvement of someone behind the scenes, Aibo wouldn't even mention it to him at this time. With this in mind, Epps immediately cast a spell to sign a formal order on a piece of parchment, left his personal mark and handed it to Ai Burke.

"One more thing, no one from the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce will let them leave the East District before I come back."

"Yes." Aiboike took the order document, nodded solemnly, and added, "Shan asked me to tell you that the materials needed to open up the Green Pearl Forest are ready."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. If there is nothing else, I have to leave. The Offensive Federation has reminded me twice!"

"Okay, be careful."

Now almost everything in the territory is tied to Epps. If something happens to him, Aibo can't imagine what kind of chaos the territory will be in.

"I know, in addition to meeting Lord Auron this time, I am also planning to go to that gentleman's territory, the Arcane Competition. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if no one comes?"

cough--

Aibo was a little embarrassed. He was just a new arcanist. It was really hard to say that holding an arcane competition in his name was something he could do.

Just for the sake of the territory, he had to agree to Epps' proposal. Fortunately, there was nothing new under the sun. Even ordinary people could hold arcane competitions, and at most they would be laughed at.

…

After sending Lord Epps away, Aiboike immediately teleported to the military camp and notified Keyan, and the two of them personally led the team to deal with the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce.

On the other side, Lord Epps, who had just walked out of the portal of the Arcane Federation headquarters, was stopped by a young mage before he could even take two steps.

"Master Epps, the mentor has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me."

With that said, the young mage led Epps out of the teleportation room. After several twists and turns, Epps finally met the target of his trip - Archmage Auron.

"Lord Savile, we finally meet!"

Contrary to Epps' expectations, the Archmage, instead of blaming him for Fairbus's death, looked kind and even a little over-enthusiastic.

Am I so indispensable to Her Royal Highness the Princess?

A thought flashed through Epps' mind, but was immediately rejected, "Sir Auron, last time you invited me, I didn't have time until recently. I'm very sorry."

"Really?" An iron stone suspended above Archmage Aulon's head made a crisp buzzing sound, and suddenly changed its trajectory. The Archmage's face seemed to be smiling.

"Just come. I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Although the Archmage had a friendly attitude, Epps was very cautious about the gap between the Archmage and ordinary mages, and did not dare to answer the conversation casually. He could only follow the topic and asked: "Last time, Your Excellency Auron talked about the glory of the ancestors, I don't know. What means?"

Archmage Aulon did not answer the question directly, but changed the subject, "Eps, what do you think of the Empire?"

How about an empire? Epps was full of questions. This question should never be asked to him. He was just a small lord. He was just a question from the Archmage, but he had to answer, "The empire is getting stronger day by day!"

"Haha, do you know how long it has been since the empire opened up new territories?"

"This—" Epps knew, but couldn't say it.

"It's been nearly a hundred years!" Archmage Auron said for him, "The last pioneering territory was the Saville Territory. Do you still feel that the empire is getting stronger day by day?"

Immediately afterwards, the Archmage continued, "Seventy years ago, the Nese Scroll was stolen, but until today, we know where it is, but we can't get it back. How long will it take to get stronger day by day?"

Epps was silent. The theft of the Nese scroll was the deepest pain for the Nese people.

70 years ago, any Netherese person, even just a farmer, could come to the Arcane Union in Severton to read the Nese scrolls. However, since one of the sets was stolen, the conditions for reading the Nese scrolls have not been that simple. .

First of all, the reader's spellcasting level is required to be at least level 10. Secondly, the reader must have a recommendation from a great arcanist or multiple great mages. Otherwise, you will have to wait until you become an archmage before reading it.

Epps has never read the Nese Scroll. If he can read the Nese Scroll in advance, he might be able to successfully advance to the level of Arcanist.
