Lord Harland

The adsorption stone is also called the energy-absorbing stone. It is a special alchemy tool that can absorb all kinds of magic and fighting energy. Energy-absorbing stones were invented by ancient wizards. In the entire Dawn Plane, only a few magic organizations have mastered the inheritance of refining energy-absorbing stones.

More than ten years ago in the world of the undead, Richard almost had his body taken away by an ancient lich. After surviving by chance, he mastered the language of the ancient wizard.

After that, Harland discovered a relic left by an ancient wizard, which was the floating city near the Tower of Fire. By excavating the ruins of the floating city, the Harland leader gradually grasped the inheritance left by some ancient wizards.

Energy-absorbing stones are one of them. Because they can absorb extraordinary energy, they are widely used in healing areas. Nowadays, Haaland's territory treats extraordinary injuries at a very high level.

Surgery at Harland Hospital has developed rapidly and has become quite mature. There are endless methods of sterile disinfection. Special vacuum disinfection techniques have been developed. Blood transfusion technology has long been conquered. Richard researched it more than ten years ago. With the blood type identification spell, anesthesia is no longer a problem. Harland Hospital has already mastered two anesthetics.

With the accumulation of experience, the level of alchemy is getting higher and higher, the surgical tools are getting better and better, and with the help of magical power, Harland has reached a very high level at the surgical level.

He successfully underwent cancer surgery two years ago and is even exploring brain surgery for craniotomy.

Although there are no advanced medical instruments in Harland's territory, magic such as ultrasonic detection and X-ray detection can also play the role of B-ultrasound and CT.

The rapid advancement of medicine has also greatly improved the average life span of the territory's population.

According to sampling statistics from the Civil Affairs Department of Harland Territory, the average life span of the territory's population is fifty-two years old, and the average life span of the free people has increased to fifty-eight years.

In the Harland Hospital, the doctors performed surgery on the three elves and used energy-absorbing stones to absorb some of the remaining fighting energy. The conditions of the three high elves immediately improved a bit.

Because the wounds were relatively large, all three elves needed blood transfusions.

Because of the extraordinary power in the Dawn Plane, blood transfusion has become very troublesome. Not only must we pay attention to blood type issues, but we must also pay attention to bloodline issues. Blood transfusions of different bloodlines will cause conflicts in bloodline power.

However, it is not difficult to transfuse blood to the elves, because the elven blood of the Chenhui tribe is exactly the same as that of Sylph and the three of them. After testing, sixteen people can provide blood to the three of them.

Under Adrian's personal supervision, the surgeries performed by Sylph and the others were very successful. In less than half a month, their bodies had recovered to 60% to 70%.

During this period, Richard had many conversations with Sylph, Sano, Undine and others, testing their ideas in the hope of adding them to the Harland Territory.

The elves of the Chenhui Tribe lost their territory and became rootless trees. After living in the Central Continent, they became female slaves.

The elven race is relatively conservative and does not like to accept foreign tribes. Even if they risk being caught again and return to the Eastern Continent, it is almost impossible to regain the territory of the Chenhui tribe.

Moreover, the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent are thousands of miles apart. There are not only powerful sea tribes in the sea, but also many ferocious beasts in the ocean. Only a few magic ships can cross the dangerous ocean and travel between the two continents.

These magic ships that can cross the sea are basically controlled by the great human nobles.

Every magic ship is closely monitored by the great nobles. If the elves want to return to the Eastern Continent on the magic ship, they will only become the female slaves of the great nobles again and fall into a more miserable environment.

If the Chenhui tribe wants to thrive, it needs a stable territory. This kind of territory must still be in the Central Continent.

Humans are the overlords of the Middle Continent. They have carved up almost all the territory suitable for survival, and the remaining part fell into the hands of the orcs.

Dozens of elves are a piece of fat wherever they are placed. As long as their whereabouts are exposed, countless slave traders will come to arrest and harass the elves. In today's situation, the elves can only survive if they find a protector.

The only one who is willing to accept the elven tribe and provide a large forest is Richard.

Sylph and Sano had lived in the Central Continent for many years and were very familiar with the situation in the Central Continent. When they heard the conditions proposed by Richard, they were immediately tempted.

The Harland leader is now not weak in strength, with two and a half legions. Even though the number of high-level professionals is smaller, the strength has ranked third in the Grant Kingdom, which is considered superior even among the duke families in surrounding countries. With such a force of protection, it can already protect dozens of elves to a certain extent.

Because Richard gave up his most precious loot and treated Sylph and the other three, the elves generally had a good impression of Harland, and the two sides also had a certain degree of mutual trust.

There is another important reason. Now is the time to join the Harland Territory. You can be ennobled immediately and get a large territory to settle the elves.

The title promotion system of the Dukedom of Harland is the same as that of the Kingdom of Grant. For a country or territory, the title promotion system is the foundation and foundation of everything.

Even if Richard was the first Duke, it was impossible for him to take out land from his territory and grant a reward to anyone at will.

To obtain a territory, the most important condition is to have enough meritorious service.

And now if Sano and Silver join the Harland Territory, they will immediately gain a lot of merit, because in the previous battle, they joined forces with Richard to annihilate two squadrons of Warcraft Cavalry and kill Pillow. Sa this legendary level enemy.

According to the reward system of Harland Territory, killing a legend can reward a Earldom. Because Richard and others also contributed, the Bolton family and the elves combined can reward six Baronies. After all, Pilosa died at the hands of Undine, and the three Sylphs also played a key role in the battle.

In this battle, Soros achieved six great achievements, Roman achieved three great achievements, and Wilde and Driffin also achieved outstanding achievements, rescinding the slave contract and regaining their free status. The remaining soldiers achieved five great achievements in total.

After adding six great merits, the Soros family has obtained enough merits to exchange for the second barony.

According to the system of Grant Kingdom, you can have vassals after being promoted to earl. After being promoted to Duke, the Borderlands in the border areas can be incorporated into the territory. As long as there is enough power, the territory of the Northern Border Duke can legally expand almost unlimitedly.

It's just that because of the orcs, it's useless to take over territory that can't be defended.

Richard planned to place the second barony under Soros's name in East Grotta River County. In the north of this county, there were already two baronies, Grumang and Vida. These two baronies are located at the northern foot of the Eagle Mountains, in the buffer area between the Harland Territory and the Orc Empire. The defensive pressure is very high, and there are not many people now.

The territory of Soros is adjacent to the Baron of Vader, covering an area of ​​1,200 square kilometers. Most of the territory is hills with low altitude, and one-third of it is flat land. If the orc factor is ignored, this territory It's a very good barony.

Normally, newly sealed territories will basically be on the frontline.

The first territory William was granted back then was also isolated in the Eagle Mountains. Based on this territory, Richard eventually developed into a vast duchy.

Richard is not a mediocre person, and it is impossible to divide the mature territory, weaken the strength of the Harland family, and strengthen the power of the vassals.

Although Soros is Richard's uncle, he will not make an exception in this matter. Soros plans to give this territory to his second son Morgan.

In recent years, Richard's eldest cousin Kent has been running the territory. With the help of Harland Territory's development, the territory now has 16,000 people, and the situation has basically stabilized.

After obtaining the second fiefdom, Morgan reported his retirement to Richard and prepared to run the territory personally and help the Soros family gain a foothold in the new territory.

After all, being an officer in Harland Territory means working for others, which is far inferior to being the master of one's own country and the owner of a territory. Richard also had very good development prospects in the Wild Lions back then and made the same decision as Morgan.

In order to speed up the development of the northern part of East Grotta River County, Richard loaned Morgan 30,000 gold coins.

With the 30,000 in funds, Morgan purchased 3,000 slaves from the slave market and recruited 500 soldiers.

Because the Dukedom of Harland is developing rapidly, there are already some adventurers and mercenaries in the territory. Morgan can easily recruit some experienced soldiers, plus some veterans he recruited from the guard brigade, the combat effectiveness of this unit is rapidly forming. .

Richard also gave Morgan part of the weapons and equipment that had been replaced over the years.

After discussion, the elves decided to pledge allegiance to Richard in the name of the Bolton family and become the first viscount-level vassal of the Dukedom of Harland.

The Viscounty of Bolton covers an area of ​​7,400 square kilometers and is also located at the northern foot of the Eagle Mountains. Most of the territory is hilly terrain and is basically virgin forest. In this area, dragon-veined monsters such as terrain dragons and wyverns are active.

Since there is a legendary black dragon in the eastern part of the Eagle Mountains, Harland Territory also tries its best to avoid conflicts with the legendary black dragon, reduce the frequency of hunting monsters in the eastern part of the Eagle Mountains, and maintain a general balance in the region.

But after the elves joined, Richard decided to change his strategy and penetrate into the east of the Eagle Mountains to squeeze the territory of the legendary black dragon and find a way to get rid of this enemy.

After being awarded the title and land, Richard reported the knighthood document to Nolan, and also sent a letter to explain the situation in detail to King Roger.

There are only seven or eight members of the Bolton family. Counting the elves of the Morning Glory tribe, there are only more than thirty people in total. This tribe has many problems. The biggest problem is the imbalance between men and women.

There is only one male elf, and it is the other tribal elf rescued by Sylph. There are only four male members of the Bolton family. If you want to multiply and grow the elf tribe, you must accept members of other tribes. But in the mainland of the Dawn Plane, there are almost no male elves.

Elves simply live a long life, and as long as they stabilize, there will be endless possibilities in the future.

After obtaining the fiefdom, Sano and Sylph took the elves back to the new territory and tentatively settled in a small cave.

Elves like grand buildings, gorgeous music, beautiful dance, poetry and recitation. This is their nature, but the harsh environment must suppress nature and everything gives way to survival.

The Bolton family has controlled the Blood Mercenary Group for many years and has accumulated hundreds of thousands of gold coins. This part of the funds was converted into magic crystals by Sylph and stored in storage props.

After arriving in Harland Territory, Sylph exchanged some magic crystals for some coins and hired two thousand indentured slaves at a high price to build castles and houses for the elves.

Although there are only a few dozen elves, the castle they plan to build is still magnificent, and various magic arrays are also planned to be arranged in the castle.

After joining the Harland Territory, Undine and the other six elf mages naturally became members of the Harland Mages Association. Undine was also nominated by Richard to become the third vice-president of the Harland Mages Association.

After entering the Harland Mage Association, Undine was immediately immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

The Harland Master Mage Association has developed to this day and has accumulated rich magical research results, many of which are unique, which has greatly expanded Undine's knowledge level.

From various advanced mathematical knowledge, to new magic and new understandings in the medical field, to the elemental particle theory created and pioneered by Richard, the theory of conversion between fighting energy and magic, the theory of magic crystal charging, and so on.

There are also a large number of meditation methods passed down in the Mage Association, and there are two legendary level meditation methods. The legendary level meditation method is extremely precious knowledge for any magician who is aspiring to become a legend. Even if it does not match your own attributes, it can broaden your horizons, inspire your thoughts, and enhance your understanding of the nature of magic. It is the most precious heritage of a large magic organization.

In addition, there are also inheritances left by ancient wizards, such as methods for making energy-absorbing stones and discussions on the internal models of energy-absorbing stones. The manufacturing principle of the floating city, the core of the elemental furnace, the artificial magic well, etc.

In the library of the Harland Territory Mage Association, there are also many books left by the church, involving discussions on ancient secrets such as evil gods, planes, undead kings, etc.

Every issue of the journal issued by the Harland Mage Association has new papers, many of which are refreshing. The latest paper was written by Richard, and the content was about the interpretation of ancient wizards' texts, which surprised Undine.

In addition, Undine also saw many new inventions in Harlan's territory, including microscopes, magic hot air balloons, telescopes, steam engines, etc., and even a brand-new alchemical item such as a magic steam engine.

Although the Harland Mage Association is small in scale, its accumulation of magic is already very advanced. The contribution to magic civilization is much greater than that of Markholm's large magic organization. If it continues to develop at the current rate, it is likely to become the center of the magical civilization of the Dawn Plane.

In order to learn new knowledge, Undine must earn a lot of academic contributions in order to study, read various papers, and master new theories. In the end, Undine could only take out the elven magic classics in exchange for a large amount of academic contributions. For a magician eager to learn new knowledge, she didn't want to wait a day.

In the end, Undine mastered a lot of new knowledge, her magic accumulation increased by leaps and bounds, and the Harland Mage Association also obtained elven magic, which enhanced its foundation.
