Great Nobleman

After seeing Anthony off, Brand couldn't wait to walk to the temporary laboratory set up in the library camp.

Originally, he wanted to pay attention to the research progress of the magic tide.

But now, he is ready to pick his own territory!

After passing through various isolation barriers and greeting library members along the way.

Brand came to a tent with an empty video screen.

Inside the camp, under the leadership of Melcher, several library members whose eyes were shining with magical aura were controlling the images on the empty screen with devices!

Seeing his arrival, several library members greeted him with smiles.

After a simple response.

Brand's eyes turned to the empty screen in front of them.

At this time, the empty screen is divided into ten small pictures.

Each screen shows the underwater environment from a first-person perspective.

This is the real-time picture of White Elf Fish No. 1 to No. 10!

——Since this period of time, based on the original [White Elf Fish No. 1], Brand has produced more [White Elf Fish Explorers] to explore resources.

Because these pictures are not just images, but real scenes connected using the space teleportation array of the Imperial Residence, they only need to activate the visual detection spell here.

You can conduct detailed environmental exploration from the perspective of the white elf fish.

In order to allow this exploration method to explore the depths of the earth, Brand also specially added auxiliary exploration methods to White Elf Fish No. 1 to No. 10.

At this point in time, thanks to the efforts of library members.

Most of the northern part of the empire, the coast of the Endless Sea and nearby areas have been explored by them!

Starting from near the snowy mountains on the easternmost side, all the way to the west, they marked all the underground resource points in a large area one by one!

This is Brand's preparation!

…

Three days later, the war between the Munn Empire and the Caesar Empire became more intense.

When many surrounding kingdoms and principalities actively or passively participate in the war.

On the Kaya Empire's side, under the orders of the emperor, Berhande Fuentes.

The Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces ceased fighting for three days.

The entire empire officially started the exchange of military merits.

For legionnaires directly under the imperial royal family, the list of items they can redeem is directly public.

Each soldier only needs to find their commander to submit an application for exchange.

Their applications will be compiled and submitted by the commanders of their respective corps.

As for the noble pioneering legion.

Because the soldiers under everyone's command are "private soldiers", each noble family is responsible for their own rewards.

They don't have to wait until the end of the war to make great achievements on a daily basis.

So at this time, everyone is watching and eating melon.

Unlike the lower-level warriors, for the empire's senior generals, certain individuals with outstanding military exploits, and even members of the imperial noble families who participated in the war, the redemption of their military exploits was somewhat special.

Because their achievements are greater, the various items that can be exchanged are richer and more valuable!

Therefore, the exchange of their military exploits will not be disclosed to the public, and all relevant personnel have signed a strict confidentiality contract.

Heavyweights such as Brand, whose war contributions were at the forefront of the empire, even had senior officials of the empire who were solely responsible for communication!

This morning, Brand also welcomed senior officials from the Department of Military Affairs who were responsible for redeeming his military exploits.

I saw several guests waiting at the guest tent, especially the blond lady who was leading them.

Brand couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Rias? Long time no see! I didn't expect you to be the one to contact me."

——Rias Lilith, the former top secret agent of the Kaya Empire, Brand was the deputy appointed by the empire when Brand was performing tasks in the Kingdom of Cardan.

Now, she is one of the senior officials in the intelligence department of the Imperial Military Affairs Department.

Hearing Brand's voice, Rias immediately responded with a smile:

"I haven't seen Mr. Brand for a long time. Although I have been in charge of intelligence affairs at the rear, I have often heard about your amazing achievements on the battlefield.

After the war is over and the investiture ceremony is completed, maybe I will call you Lord Viscount? "

Hearing this, Brand raised his eyebrows and said:

"It seems like you've already guessed what I want to redeem?"

Rias shook her head and explained:

"This is not what I guessed. Before coming, I contacted the director remotely.

The director casually mentioned the contents of the chat with you two days ago. "

The director Rias mentioned was Jonas Holt, who was currently serving as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Allied Forces of the Northern Expedition.

Three days ago, Brand did ask the old gentleman about the exchange of military merit.

So when Rias said this, he quickly recalled it.

At that time, the old gentleman gave him some suggestions based on his ideas.

With his current war contributions and meritorious service, it is more than enough to exchange for a maritime territory at the level of an imperial earl.

And according to the practice of Kaya Empire.

To be eligible to own a territory at the earl level, you must at least have the title of hereditary viscount or above.

And because the levels of hereditary viscount and hereditary earl are not much different in the Kaya Empire.

Therefore, it is enough for him to exchange for the title of hereditary viscount, and there is no need to expend military exploits in this field.

——The title can be promoted in other ways, but the territory where military merit is exchanged has other rare items that can be encountered but cannot be obtained!

After all the outsiders left and the isolation circle was activated.

Rias handed over a confidentiality contract.

After Brand signed it, Rias handed over a thick document that had been recently bound and had the words "Redeem for War Merits" written on the cover.

Open the file and view the directory.

His eyes swept across various titles and territories.

After finding the first item in the inheritance knowledge column, "Purification and Utilization of the Magical Tide of the Endless Sea"!

Brand couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

——The name alone gave him some inspiration!

This is a completely different research direction than the current research direction of their library!

Their library is currently trying to explore the various properties and laws of magic tides and try to utilize them.

But this plan starts directly from the characteristics of changing the tides of the Endless Sea!

Trying to look away, look down.

The following line of text once again surprised him:

"Artifact Production Picture Book--The Sword of Heaven"!

Although he already owns this thing, it does not affect its objective value!

After suppressing his curiosity and closing the documents in his hand, Brand said to Rias:

"Rias, I might want to take a moment to think it over."

Hearing this, Rias smiled and blinked:

"My main mission here today is to escort this combat merit redemption manual, and now the mission is considered completed.

As for when Mr. Brand wants to exchange it and what items he wants to exchange it for.

All matters were decided by Mr. Brand.

Even if it is pushed to the end of the war or even the tide recedes, there will be no problem at all.

It’s just that you need to pay special attention to the matter of territory exchange.

Considering the value of the magic tide, His Majesty the Emperor decided to use a simple process to complete the territory redemption in the tidal submerged zone in advance.

After the war is over, the corresponding procedures will be completed.

This allows nobles to arrange their territories in advance and make full use of the magic tide.

Because Mr. Brand's war contribution ranks high, if he wants to redeem the territory in the tidal zone, he has a relatively priority right to choose.

If you don't redeem it for a long time, the people behind you will have objections, so you need to consider and make a decision as early as possible. "

Brand nodded and said:

"I will make a decision as soon as possible regarding the territory. I wonder if Rias has other schedules in the future?"

Rias smiled and said:

“As the person exclusively responsible for redeeming Mr. Brand’s military exploits, unless Mr. Brand is not planning to use his military exploits recently.

Otherwise, I won’t have any other tasks! "

Hearing this, Brand smiled and said:

"Then I'll let Hisali take you to the beach, because the gray fog of war no longer blocks your sight, and the scenery on the beach is extremely beautiful.

And now I want to take a closer look at this exchange manual! "
