My Magic Age

In the Green Empire, countless newly promoted noble families are springing up from all directions. The rise of these new forces means that the territory of the empire is constantly expanding.

Countless new planes were discovered by those legendary strongmen when they explored the star field. They broke through the outermost barrier of the plane and entered the low-level plane for a short stay. They left the magic beacon in that place. On the surface.

After returning to Green, the legendary powerhouses used the magic beacons left on the planes to create portals leading to those plane areas.

The nobles purchased the development rights of these planes from the hands of legendary powerful men. The Hierro plane is a fertile plane in a state of development. It is rich in various resources, and the civilization of the local indigenous people is still quite backward. The adventurers who enter this plane are almost like picking up money everywhere.

If the dark forces in the abyss had not opened up the connection channel, the Duke of Samoyed would still be very nourished in this plane.

There is vast and fertile land here, there are vast black forests here, there are mineral deposits as dense as stars, the civilization of the indigenous people here is completely in the Stone Age, and there are powerful creatures on the high cliffs and mountains here, such as: The Yalong clan.

Noble lords are eligible to be ennobled by the Green Empire Emperor only after they open up new territories and expand their territories.

The map Brandon took was spread on the table like a tablecloth. The geographical layout map drawn on it showed the mountains, rivers, jungles and cities very clearly. The Trum landform map drawn on this map was very of detail.

At a glance, I saw an oval outline circled with black lines in the Dustwallow Marsh area on the map. In that oval area, the parchment was actually blank, and it was marked with a red brush. The two eye-catching characters "Restricted Area" looked so dazzling on the parchment map, and the side hall became extremely quiet for a while.

"...Ahem, it seems that there are some security problems in this land!" Duke Samoyed looked at the eye-catching red writing on the map and said in a dark voice.

The old magician Eugene glanced at me and asked me again: "Are you sure you want to buy that place? What is there that attracts you?"

I said: "My team had hunted spider warriors in the area south of Trum before and found an open-pit iron mine near that area. I want to obtain the mining rights there. Maybe I can dig it out there. Magic Iron Mine." I looked at the blurry area on the map, and then said, "If I have the ability, I would like to build a town near the mine."

I know this sentence must be in the heart of the Duke of Samoyed. After the fall of Trum, the Duke of Samoyed should very much hope that someone can build a satellite town around Tanton City. When it is attacked by foreigners, such a small town It can share the firepower of Tanton City to a great extent.

Sure enough, when he heard what I said, the Duke of Samoyed's eyes lit up. He clapped his hands and said in praise, "It's a good idea to own a small town. Maybe in the near future, your achievements in the Hierro plane will be great." Let you be promoted to earl."

The Duke of Samoyed went on to say: "It is still necessary to prepare a small town for yourself early, but you must be careful when choosing the location of the town. In fact, in that area, there is no location better than the Trum stronghold, geographically It has more defensive advantages," the Duke of Samoyed continued.

I picked up the soft leather bag next to the corner of the table and placed it on the square table. The bag was filled with black magic crystals.

I patted my pocket, smiled at Duke Samoyed, and said, "Actually, I'm fully prepared to be promoted to earl this time."

Having said that, I stretched out my hand to untie the thin hemp rope at the mouth of the bag, revealing a pocket full of black magic crystals. Countless black magic crystals were shining brightly in the pockets on the wooden table in the side hall. These black magic crystals were as big as Very even, each black magic crystal is about the size of a pigeon egg. This bag just contained 300 black magic crystals.

Seeing how many black magic crystals I had produced at once, even the seven second-level knights behind the Duke of Samoyed couldn't help but make some surprised sounds.

One of them couldn't help but cry out in a low voice: "With so many black magic crystals, it's incredible that a hunting team can hunt so many Spider-Man warriors in such a short period of time. How is it possible?"

Shield Warrior Alden stood in the crowd and said to his companions: "It seems that Disraeli may be right. They wiped out all the spider warriors from the Trum stronghold and killed them by force."

The Duke of Samoyed looked calm and said to a clerk in the logistics department standing aside: "Check out these black magic crystals. I need to know how many Spider-Man warriors Jijia Magician captured in Trum." ”

"It's not easy to be promoted to earl. I still remember clearly that I took you in the desert west of Mount Tramay on the western border to clean up the sand bandits in the desert. We spent a lot of time It took three years to bring back a total of 20,000 sand pirate left ears, and I was successfully promoted to earl. Looking back now, those things seem like they happened yesterday. "

The Duke of Samoyed thought of the past, and the eyes of the second-turn knights behind him shone with nostalgia.

"Of course, there is almost no comparison between those desert bandits and spider warriors. At that time, we, fifteen construct knights and five hundred light cavalry, were running rampant in the desert."

"And now, those Spider-Man warriors are constantly causing trouble for us in the Black Forest. It is these Spider-Man warriors hiding in the forest that are holding back our attack. If it weren't for the fact that only Constructed Knights can fight against the Spider-Man Warriors, I would With these constructing knights, the spider lair in the southern part of the jungle has been burned down." Duke Samoyed punched the table and said unwillingly.

"Your Majesty Duke, there are a total of three hundred black magic crystals with only imprints!" The clerk said respectfully to the side after counting the number of black magic crystals in his pocket.

"Only three hundred? If you want to be promoted to earl, if you only have these black magic crystals, it will not be enough!" The wrinkles on the Duke of Samoyed's forehead relaxed slightly, and he said to me kindly: "Not to mention the viscount How much merit do you need to be promoted to an earl? Three hundred black magic crystals are just enough to promote you from a third-class baron to a third-class viscount. To advance from a viscount to an earl, you need a huge amount of merit. ”

"But, even so..." The old magician Eugene's eyes fell on those black magic crystals, and he said with emotion: "That's pretty good."

The Duke of Samoyed sat down, put his arms flat on the square table, crossed his fingers on his chest, and said to me very seriously: "When you awaken your magic and become a magician, His Majesty Charles will officially make you a third-class baron in the Green Empire." , and also rewarded you with a piece of barren land, but that piece of land has almost no other function except to show your status as a baron. "

As he spoke, he took the quill and drew a stroke on the area north of the edge of Dustwallow Swamp and said: "But the achievements you get here are very different. These three hundred black magic crystals will make you Upgrade three levels in a row, directly from the third-class baron to the third-class viscount, and as my reward, you can also get a piece of territory. The Hierro plane is not like those resource-poor planes. There is gold everywhere here. "

He pointed to this small area and said to me: "This is much more reliable than the swamp you chose. You can slowly develop this territory, build a small town, open a mine, open a forestry, and set up supplies Station, do whatever you want! Then form your own team.”

"After graduating from the Royal Academy of Magic, if you want to gain merit the fastest way, then quickly form a mercenary group, and then join the plane war. It is estimated that that day will come soon. I welcome you then. Join the crusade against the army in the Yero plane, and I will provide you with the greatest assistance.”

Saying that, in order to show that he would give me his full support, Samoyed gave me another dose of strong medicine. He said: "If you want to buy Trum later, if it has not become the territory of other nobles by then, then It will definitely be yours!"

I have been hunting spider people in the area around Trum the past few days. Of course I know what Trum means. It faces the vast southeastern area of ​​​​the Black Forest. I didn’t expect that the Duke of Samoyed would actually build it with his own hands. The defense line has been dismantled and this important defensive stronghold must be given away.

I quickly asked the Duke of Samoyed: "The Trum Stronghold is also going to be sold. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. No one has ever dared to question what the Duke said!" Just when Samoyed frowned slightly, the old magician Eugene quickly interrupted my question.

Then, he explained to me: "Tanton City is the territory left by the Duke to Marquis Armand, and the Trum area is the future development direction of little Horace. However, since the Duke has driven him back to Green, I am afraid that the little Horace will no longer be able to set foot in Hierro, so Trum will need a new owner!”

At this time, I thought that what Felix said in the warehouse of Trum's stronghold was not groundless. It seemed that he had already guessed that the Duke would be extremely disappointed with Earl Horace, and instead wanted to sell Trum The area was given over to a general who was more suitable to expand the territory.

I had no idea that Samoyed would be so disheartened by Count Horace.

Qige behind me pushed me impatiently, and then I remembered the purpose of my trip. Then I took out a first-class baron's noble medal from my magic belt bag, put it on my right chest, and turned my head. He asked the clerk who was measuring the area of ​​Dustwallow Swamp with a square ruler: "So, sir, please tell me, according to the provisions of the Noble Promotion Act of the Green Empire, how many black magic crystals should be needed to promote from a first-class baron to a count?"

The clerk seemed to be very familiar with this process. Without even raising his head, he blurted out: "One thousand, two hundred, dear magician!"

I was slightly relieved to hear the answer given by the clerk.

In the eyes of many people, it is definitely a rare thing for students of the Magic Academy to wear the noble medal of a first-class baron. Although it is not difficult to do so, it is nothing more than earning meritorious service on the battlefield, but For a weak magician, unless he has the ability to protect himself, he will rarely run to the battlefield rashly unless he is forced to do so.

Therefore, many magicians will choose to appear on the battlefield after graduation. There are very few people like me who have been promoted to first-class baron before graduation.

Amid everyone's surprised gazes, I touched my nose and said helplessly: "In fact, I have lived in a city called El in the province of Sloit in the north since I was a child, where every winter there is a barbaric attack on the ice and snow tundra. There is no human intrusion, so it is not difficult for our people there to gain some merit.”

While explaining, I took out three leather bags of the same size from my magic waist bag and placed them on the table. When I opened the bags one by one, black magic crystals of the same color appeared in the bags, and the whole side hall fell silent again.

Almost no one could imagine what kind of power could wipe out a spider army of more than a thousand people.

Seeing Samoyed's puzzled eyes, I had to spread my hands and said, "I know you will find it hard to believe, but... Anyway, just like that, the four spider commanders were all killed by the fire phosphorus bombs, and the city of Trum was destroyed in the explosion, but at least we won, didn't we?"

I told about the hunting process in the wild of Trum, the battle of Trum, and the process of the destruction of those spider warriors.

Of course, I won't tell you that at the beginning of the explosion of the fire phosphorus bomb, I and the orc warriors had already hidden in the Xinliu Valley. I just said that we hid in the basement until all the spider warriors were destroyed, and then we walked out of the basement of the tavern.

Duke Samoyed rubbed his numb face with both hands, waved slightly, and said to the clerk standing by who was struggling to measure the area of ​​the Dust and Wheat Marsh: "Let Brandon go to the inner treasury to get a count's noble medal and a blank coronation document."

After the clerk walked out, he said to me: "Okay, from now on you will officially become a count, and as for your territory, it will be set in Troum!"

"Also, you owe me a Troum city, Count Jijia! I want you to compensate me for my losses with a box of fire phosphorus bombs with the same power as the explosion of the Troum stronghold. That is a city built at a huge cost, you have to compensate me. In addition, I need you to rebuild the Troum stronghold on the original site within at least three years, otherwise I will take back your land in the Troum area. Count Jijia!"

He deliberately emphasized the last few words...

...

Until I walked out of the council hall, my head was still a little dizzy.

Duke Samoyed exchanged the entire Trum region with me for thirteen boxes of magic scrolls and a cart of magic herbs that can be made into healing potions.

Thirteen magic boxes, each containing ninety-five scrolls of different types, totaling one thousand two hundred and thirty-five scrolls, including eight hundred and forty-five cheap frost scrolls, worth about one hundred and seventy magic crystals, and three hundred and ninety magic scrolls of ‘Frost Nova’, ‘Ice Spear’, and ‘Ice Wall’, worth about three hundred and ninety magic crystals.

I didn’t give in in the end, and sent away the extremely powerful fire phosphorus bombs that Qi Ge gave me, insisting that all the fire phosphorus bombs purchased were used up. When Duke Samoyed asked about the source of those fire phosphorus bombs, I said it was from the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute, and the old magician Eugene looked a little stern.

In order to buy the entire Trum, I had to spend all the black magic crystals that I had exchanged for merits, and also provide Duke Samoyed with twenty bundles of hemostatic herbs.

Originally, these hemostatic herbs were continuously supplied to the Green Empire from the Pai Plateau of the Orc Tribe. The price was very low, which led to no one planting hemostatic herbs in the Green Empire. Until the recent war, which directly led to the consumption of a large amount of healing potions on the front line, the Green Empire was extremely short of hemostatic herbs. Now the price of these hemostatic herbs has risen twenty times compared to the original price, but there is still no market.

In addition, I took out 1,200 black magic crystals, which was considered to buy back the Trum stronghold and the surrounding areas.

I had the coronation document in my hand, on which the seal of the Duke of Samoyed was clearly printed. The moment I stepped out of the council hall, facing the bustling crowd on the street, Qi Ge and I looked at each other and gently clapped our palms together.
