Great Nobleman.

Chapter 1981 The Elf in the Library's Reserve Force!

Although Chris lowered her voice significantly.

But we're so close, and we're not ordinary people.

Of course, I heard it perfectly!

Immediately afterwards, Andy, without even having time to lament the hardships of the journey with the gentlemen and to try to increase his share of the profits, continued to do so.

He quickly ran to the women and then asked with a questioning look:

"How could that be? You must be joking, Chris?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Finn, who had run over after him, couldn't help but whisper in agreement:
"I think so too! Brand only advanced to intermediate archmage? That doesn't sound real!"

In Andy and Finn's long-held impression.

Brand hasn't been a junior mage for several years!

Moreover, it is highly likely that he has already reached the level of a high-level archmage.

He only just successfully advanced to intermediate archmage? And after going through so many hardships and obstacles?
That sounds like a lie!

When Andy and Finn looked on in disbelief.

Chris blinked blankly and said:
"What are you talking about? Is there a problem with our lord successfully advancing to the intermediate archmage level?"

Looking at Chris's bewildered and innocent expression.

Lord Romien, who had approached curiously, smiled and said:
"Brand has always been a genius, so it's quite unexpected that he only got promoted now."

I also thought Brand was hiding his true strength!

So... is this true?

Hearing Lord Romien's final question, Chris couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly.

Then, she waved her hand and said:
"I don't want to argue with you, I'm busy."

The lockdown at Chenhuabao will be lifted this afternoon.

If you have any questions, just go directly to the lord.

By the way, remember to keep this a secret; it's a top secret in Morning Blossom Territory.

After uttering these words, he didn't wait for their reply.

Chris immediately pulled her three sisters toward the nearby Blood Amber ship, as if she wanted to see for herself the spoils of this trip.

Upon seeing this, Andy, Finn, and several other curious gentlemen and Yerson exchanged bewildered glances.

—While some people firmly disbelieve it, others speculate that perhaps it really is true!

The news brought by Chris caused a slight ripple among the gentlemen.

However, the gentlemen and Yersen and the others quickly brought their thoughts back to the present moment.

When everyone had finished catching up...

The people at the scene also became porters.

All the spoils from these ships were unloaded and neatly placed in several large warehouses in the military port. Special personnel were then summoned to account for and count these resources.

Subsequently, the craftsmen took over the Blood Amber warships belonging to Morning Blossom Territory at the dock and prepared to conduct a comprehensive and meticulous inspection of them.

In contrast, the ships belonging to the several lords, including the Black Knight, were sailed to the shipyard in Morning Blossom Harbor.

—They have their own ship repair team.

As for Yersen, his two companions, and Louise...

—Although they are the leaders of this fleet, none of these warships belong to them at all!

By the time the lords and Yersen and others had finished dealing with all the troublesome matters, it was already noon.

Then, they enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at the mansion in Morning Flower Harbor, followed by a short rest.

Because I received a dinner invitation sent by Brand.

Several lords and Yersen and others also began to head to Morningflower Castle, which had been unsealed, and prepared to use their sharp and intelligent eyes to find the secrets hidden by Brand.

And then, to their great regret, they discovered:

At least on the surface, Morningflower Castle hasn't changed much. The only difference seems to be that the ladies of the castle, or rather, the members of the North Holland family, are all quite happy?
—Is this because Brand successfully advanced to the rank of Intermediate Archmage?

I was filled with doubts.

Guided by the maids, Lord Holland, who was the first to arrive at Morningflower Castle, followed the pleasant music that resounded throughout most of the castle and made his way to the large garden in the inner part of the castle.

He then stood under a large tree, which was shaded by dappled sunlight and surrounded by many women.

They found Brand, who was now leisurely playing a harp with Hedy Lin, accompanying the Naga, including Celine Lilael.

The beautiful music, combined with the Naga priestess's exquisite singing voice.

Unconsciously enjoying himself, Mr. Holland also slowed his pace, found an empty seat nearby, and sat down to listen quietly.

Seeing this, the maids around him brought berries, pastries, and tea to help Lord Holland enjoy the pleasant afternoon at Morningflower Castle.

—I must say, Mr. Holland thinks this is really good!
For a moment, he even forgot why he came here.

As this wonderful and pleasant leisure time continues little by little.

In this large garden, people come and go.

Lord Holland was a regular at Morningflower Castle, and many people at the library had met him.

In addition to his special identity, soon after he arrived, some ladies from the library who knew him and their companions came over to chat with him and introduce him to some younger members he was not yet familiar with.

And some of these young members were also known to Mr. Holland.

—They are descendants of various noble families in the Kaya Empire.

—He had been introduced to this person by friends from the Empire at some gatherings or banquets.

Lord Holland was no longer surprised by this situation.

Although one must fully integrate into the North Holland family to become a formal member of the library.

But this did not stop the empire's elite from flocking to it.

Brand is now a major figure on the continent, and the Library is recognized as the number one mage organization on the continent.

Rather than letting their descendants become ordinary mages, marrying off to a nobleman or nobleman's descendant of equal social standing and making a small contribution to the family.

To make one's own descendants one of the top mage groups on the mainland, and to become a great mage with a promising future who is respected wherever he goes.

It also helped the family connect with the most prestigious noble families in the empire, the North Holland family, and the continental-level powerhouse Brand.

Anyone who isn't an idiot would choose the latter option.

Of course, not everyone can choose the latter option.

The process of recruiting formal members of the library is now almost universally known among the nobility of the entire Kaya Empire.

Although Mr. Holland did not pay particular attention.

However, because he often discussed related topics when he met with his aristocratic friends, he passively learned a lot about them.

Generally speaking, the first step is to go through rounds of assessments and reviews to become a reserve member of the library.

Then, step by step, they undergo various assessments and training to improve their reserve level.

Only after passing the entrance exam can one become a formal member of the library.

In short, it's quite difficult.

Furthermore, to avoid expanding too quickly and causing management problems.

Even during wartime, the library did not recruit many full-time or reserve members.

This can be seen from the fact that the library has only had about five hundred people to date!
Now, the war is nearing its end.

Lord Holland felt that the number of new members the library would recruit each year would likely decrease rapidly.

With this in mind, Lord Holland brought up the topic while chatting with the library staff.

As expected, his guess was quickly confirmed by the library staff, and he also received an additional piece of information:

"Lord Holland may not have noticed, but an elf has already passed the tests and reviews and become a member of our library's reserve force!"
