The mage arrives

Seeing that Earl Julian did not speak, Anthony Anduin looked at Faria: "Dear Grand Duchess, first of all, I would like to express my deep apologies for the passing of your father. Grand Duke Anduin has been protecting the peace of the northern border of the empire for many years. He is also one of His Majesty's most trusted imperial ministers. His death is a great loss for Freyton."

After finishing speaking, the head of the royal family clapped his hands twice, and the eight royal knights who had been waiting outside the door carried two heavy and magnificent gold-plated boxes into the hall.

"This is a little care from His Majesty, please be sure to be subordinate. The empire will not treat the descendants of the Andelo family badly, and I hope you will continue to protect the northern border for the empire in the future."

This is already the third batch of property sent by the emperor in the past few days.

Reclaiming the non-hereditary land of the Anduin family is a necessary means for the Anduin royal family to consolidate the rule of the empire according to the law.However, this does not mean that once Rob Antaello died, the emperor would really ignore the Antaello family and let them fend for themselves.If his nature is so cold, how can Trajan win the hearts of the people and run the empire?

After a lion dies, its body is eaten by other beasts, which is the law of survival of the fittest in nature.But if those ferocious beasts are not satisfied and want to play with the lion cub, it will not work.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness. The Antaello family will continue to serve the empire." Faria nodded slightly, and then called a few guards to carry the two boxes down.

She went on to say: "As for the issue of reclaiming the fief, I will entrust Baron Gordon Freeman with full authority. You can negotiate with them as a special envoy. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

"Please."

Viscount Anthony and Master Schlieffen exchanged glances.Each showed a smug smile.

"What an immature little girl. I heard that she was born to Rob Antello and a certain Orlandos woman. With those barbarian blood in her body, how could she know the cruelty of political struggle? Maybe she has become a high-ranking woman by now. The puppets of Den Freeman and Lord Clearwater." Master Schlieffen looked at Faria with a contemptuous smile. "However, this girl looks very good. Even in the imperial capital, such a beauty is rare. Even my student is a little inferior compared to her. Well, I finally came to Yuanshuang Province, How can you not have fun?"

Think here.Master Qihuan's heart moved, and the magical aura flowed in his eyes, shooting out a faint blue light.As small as a needle, it pierced into Faliya's body.

Not long ago, Schlieffen captured a mind-controlling beholder matriarch, and then fused with the organ through a series of complex transformation operations.Get the ability of the other party.now.Not only can his eyes cast the spell-like ability called "Crazy Gaze", but with these eyes, he can use "Powerful Charm Human" three times a day and "Powerful Charm Monster" three times a day.

Just now, he suddenly had an evil thought in his heart, so he wanted to try his newly acquired ability, use "Strong Charm Human" to quietly control Faliya, and then look for opportunities within the duration of the spell.Have fun with this new Grand Duchess.

But his spell didn't work.

Without the effect of the defensive spell being triggered, Schlieffen couldn't figure out why he failed for a while.However, he saw that his small movements were not discovered.Then he felt relieved, looked at Gordon mockingly, and said in his heart: "Although the outside world spreads so much, this Gordon Freeman is just a young five-ring mage. He didn't notice the spell I cast. , it can be seen that the strength is nothing more than this."

In the world of Telos, in the rules of strength and weakness recognized by major spell-casting organizations, mages with one to three rings are low-level mages; mages with four to six rings are middle-level mages; mages with seven to nine rings are Is a high-level mage.

The biggest difference between high-level mages and mid-level mages is not only being able to touch the deeper magic net, using more powerful spells, and having more spell slots.One of the most important points is that the Mage of the Seven Rings can engrave his "real name" on the magic net, and transform this part of the magic net to become his own arcane energy source channel.

The fifth ring to the sixth ring, and the sixth ring to the seventh ring are two huge thresholds for mages on the path of arcane arts. It is extremely difficult to cross, and the rewards are also great.

No wonder Schlieffen looked down on Gordon so much. At the age of 87, he should crush the young Gordon in terms of qualifications, accumulation, strength, and experience.

But Schlieffen didn't know that Faliya, whom he underestimated, had the blood of a silver dragon, and the powerful magic resistance of the dragon clan completely ignored his spells.As for Gordon, as early as he observed Schlieffen's evil intentions, he opened his eyes of truth and warning, watching his every move.

"Gordon, that mage cast a spell on me, and he wants to control me quietly." Faria leaned closer to Gordon's ear.

"I know," Gordon whispered.

The young Grand Duchess didn't say anything more, showing full trust in Gordon.She glanced at Earl Schlieffen, the cold light in her eyes pierced the latter's heart.

But Faliya didn't say much, and left.This made Master Schlieffen breathe a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, it's in vain for me to be a high-ranking mage of the Seven Rings, and I feel uneasy after being glared at by a little girl!" After suffering a small loss, Schlieffen was quite upset, and his resentment towards Gordon did not know why. One more point.

Viscount Anthony, who knew nothing about magic, didn't notice the secret battle between mages.He continued to negotiate with Gordon: "Baron Freeman, since the Grand Duchess has entrusted you with carte blanche, we will start to deal with the recovery of non-hereditary land as soon as possible, starting with the Rainbow Spring Manor. This land is the smallest, and it is easy to deal with it." Easiest. After all, time is tight, and the sooner these things are implemented, the sooner His Majesty can feel at ease."

"Of course I understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts." Gordon looked embarrassed, "But please give us a little more time. This is the main residence of Grand Duke Rob Antello, and he has a lot of heritage here. All the things have to be moved, and then the land handover procedures will be carried out.”

"What we want is what Rob Antello left behind. How could you take it all away?" Viscount Anthony sneered in his heart, but there was an expression on his face that I understood very well.

He said: "Mr. Baron, I understand your difficulties very well, but I can't keep His Majesty waiting. And according to the Land Reclamation Law, you have five days to deal with the assets before the land is reclaimed, and now, the time has already come. "

The Land Reclamation Act does have this provision.However, when to start calculating the asset processing time is a matter that can be operated flexibly.

According to Viscount Anthony, when the news of Rob Antello's death reached the imperial capital, Faria had inherited the title of Grand Duke, and it was time to start counting the time to deal with the assets.

According to the usual practice, the asset processing time starts from the formal contact between the heir to the estate and the royal envoy who reclaimed the land.

"Viscount Anthony, you are too impatient to do this." Obviously, Count Julian was very dissatisfied with the other party's attitude, and said in a blunt tone.

"My lord, it's not a question of whether I'm impatient or not, but your Majesty's will." Anthony refused to give in.

In this era, the legal clauses are far from being "perfect". They are ambiguous, and there are many places for exploiting loopholes. Therefore, Anthony, who has the status of the Anduin royal family and the support of the Eisenstein family, dares to use what is beneficial to him. The method distorts the legal provisions and persecutes the other party without fear.

Gordon said hesitantly: "Mr. Steward, the Grand Duke has left many magic tricks in the Rainbow Spring Manor. If we want to remove all the relics, we have to decipher all these magic tricks, which is extremely time-consuming. I hope you can understand this. Moreover, if you don’t disarm these magical organs and hand over the manor to you, I’m afraid it will also leave a security risk.”

"Don't worry about this. It is precisely because of this that Master Schlieffen will accompany you." Anthony proudly pointed to Master Seven Rings beside him.

"I think I still have some experience and experience in dispelling the magic mechanism." Schlieffen raised his head and straightened the mage's robe, deliberately showing the seven-ring mage logo embroidered on the chest, and the implication was too obvious: I am A dignified senior mage with seven rings, you are a small mage with five rings, you should get out of the way, you are not needed here.

"This..." Gordon frowned, hesitating.

Seeing that the other party was showing timidity, Schlieffen became more and more proud: "This is Gordon Freeman who made outstanding contributions in the Battle of High Rock City? Another young man who has been boasted by public opinion and is not worthy of his name. It seems that Rob. Andelo's vision is not very good either."

Schlieffen was already impatient, he didn't want to waste any more words, and was going to solve the troublesome matter in front of him in the way of a mage.

The ray of "Powerful Charm to Humans" shot out from Schlieffen's eyes again without a sound, and sank into Gordon's eyebrows.This time, Schlieffen's spell seemed to have succeeded. Seeing a look of confusion in Gordon's black eyes, he secretly gave the order.

Gordon suddenly said: "In this case, I can only choose to give in. May I ask Mr. Special Envoy, when are you going to start the recovery work of Rainbow Spring Manor?"

"The sooner the better, how about after dinner?" Anthony saw Gordon's sudden change of attitude, knowing that it was Schlieffen's manipulation, and said immediately.

He secretly sighed in his heart, the spell was really convenient and could solve almost all problems.No wonder the caster's status is so high.

"No, I don't agree! Baron Freeman, why did you suddenly agree to them?" Earl Yolande protested loudly.

"My lord, since Baron Freeman has agreed, I think you should also see the situation clearly. If you insist on your own opinion, it will be difficult for everyone to misunderstand." Anthony's words implied a threat. (To be continued..)
