The mage arrives

The reason why Gordon laughed out loud was because His Majesty's clothes were really ridiculous.Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test He was wearing a fancy wide-sleeved gown on his upper body, and his lower body was even more exaggerated. It turned out to be a pair of leggings that completely outlined the curves of his legs—and they were purple.

As if sensing Gordon's uncontrollable amused gaze, Trajan Anduin shrugged his shoulders mockingly, and said, "It seems that Wilfast's fashion style doesn't suit me."

"The group of Wilfast bitches who only care about every detail, of course, don't match the temperament of the ruler of the empire." Gordon laughed.

"Yeah, it's a pity that they are a group of sissies with a lot of gold coins in their hands. So I have to dress up like this once in a while to please them. After the meeting with the Wilfast envoy, I heard that you I'm here, I didn't even have time to change my clothes, so I rushed here." His Majesty the Emperor explained.

This little episode made the distance between the two people a lot closer in an instant.Although it was only the first time they met, Trajan Anduin gave Gordon a kind and approachable feeling.His Majesty the Emperor gave him the impression that he was not like a ruler, but more like a friend.

Of course, this is just a superficial impression.

When His Majesty the Emperor walked into the oasis hall, Gordon could immediately feel that his connection with the magic net had been completely cut off.Although this is nothing to a mage like him who relies on mana to cast spells, if it is another traditional mage who relies on magic nets to cast spells, he has completely lost his combat effectiveness at this time.

In addition, Gordon could also feel that there were various detection spells sweeping around him in the dark.

Although His Majesty the Emperor treated Gordon superficially, the security measures in private were quite strict.

Gordon even suspected that His Majesty Trajan had come to see him in this ridiculous Wilfast fashion, in fact on purpose.In order to express my urgency to meet Xu You without even caring about changing clothes—well, it’s the same as Cao Cao’s barefoot meeting with Xu You.

But Gordon didn't dislike this emperor's scheming.This at least proves that he is very valuable in the eyes of the emperor.Otherwise, who would bother to act in such a play?With the status of the emperor of the empire, if he is not interested in a certain person.Don't talk about meeting.Can't even remember the name.

His Majesty Emperor Freton is a man of decisiveness and simplicity.He and Gordon enjoyed desserts and drinks unique to desert peoples such as honey dates and goat milk tea brought by golem servants for a while, and then turned from aimless chatting to the main topic.

"Baron Freeman... No. Earl Freeman, I will seal you at the victory celebration in a week's time. What do you think?"

The emperor though ends with a question sentence.But judging by his tone, it was clear that there was no doubt about it.

Gordon also felt that there was nothing wrong with it.The knighthood has been raised by two levels at once, which not only means that his status in the noble class of Freyton has risen greatly, and the privileges in his hands have increased, but most importantly, the hereditary fief that he can obtain has expanded several times.

"Thank you for your kindness. From now on, I will serve you and the empire wholeheartedly." Gordon stood up from the sofa and gave an impeccable noble salute to His Majesty Trajan.

"Very good. The Empire has lost Rob Antello, which is a huge loss. It is rare to see an excellent mage like him in ten or even a hundred years. Since you are his student, then I also hope that you can Inheriting his mantle. From a young genius mage, to a powerful and reliable mage who can be called the pillar of the empire."

"I will keep your hope in mind." Gordon nodded.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was in his prime, had a quick mind and spoke extremely fast. After giving Gordon some instructions, he immediately jumped to the next topic: "Okay, let's talk about the fief issue."

His Majesty Trajan stood up and walked to the desert spring in the oasis hall.He raised his hand and pointed it, and his fingertips shot a translucent green light into the water.

Gordon originally thought it was just for decoration to highlight the desert oasis style of the whole hall, but it turned out to be a magic item.The spring water rose up like a living thing, and then turned into a water curtain.The patterns and colors on it were constantly changing, and finally formed a Freyton map.

Of course, what surprised Gordon even more was that the Emperor of the Empire actually knew spells, and his strength didn't seem to be weak.

"I am a warlock, but few people know about it." Trajan Anduin laughed.

The Anduin royal family is said to have golden dragon blood, so it is not surprising that there are one or two dragon vein warlocks.Judging from the fluency of Trajan's spellcasting just now, his spell attainment is definitely not low.

After a little explanation, His Majesty the Emperor didn't stop at the minutiae. He pointed to the Feleton map formed by the spring water and said: "Young man, you have made outstanding contributions to the empire. In a crisis situation, you have turned the tide. The peace of the entire Northland is guaranteed. I talked with Xiona and I know that she can kill Ugru Iron Claw and destroy the floating fortress. You have most of the credit. You and your sister are the top priority. But I know that you and Rob Antello are the biggest contributors to the victory of this war."

After a pause, His Majesty the Emperor continued: "And after meeting today, I have a good impression of the two brothers and sisters of your Freeman family, so I will give you a privilege today to let you, the head of the Freeman family, choose the fiefdom yourself. This is a rare honor. Since I became the throne, only Sean Stryker, who repelled the invaders of Northengard in the Battle of Long Summer, has this honor."

Sean Strike is the second son of Warhammer Lord Ed Strike, and he was also a well-known young talent in Freyton back then. At the age of 15, he followed his father to participate in the Battle of Changxia, beheading three regiment leaders of the Black Dragon Emperor, and made great achievements in the world.Today, he is the number one warrior under Lord Warhammer, a nightmare that the people of Northengard will tremble at the mention of it, and he is the most promising fighter among Freidon's younger generation to be promoted to legend.

Being able to be compared with such a character, His Majesty the Emperor thinks highly of Gordon.

Gordon was prepared to bargain with him to get the area he liked if the fief he granted to him was unsatisfactory, but he did not expect that the supreme ruler of the empire was so generous that he would let him choose at will.

Seeing the surprised look on Gordon's face, Trajan Anduin added with a smile: "However, I reserve the right to bargain and refuse all your requests, so young people, don't have too much appetite."

"Of course, you know, I am a mage, and the source of power and wealth mainly relies on arcane power. I don't have high requirements for fiefdoms."

Gordon said, walked to the map, and drew a circle at the southernmost tip of the empire.

His Majesty the Emperor first opened his mouth in surprise, and then frowned.Gordon's choice was unexpected, and after he pondered for a moment, he asked, "Haven area? You want this place?"

The Freyton Platinum Empire has eight provinces and three special administrative regions.Haiwen is one of the special administrative regions.This is a long and narrow peninsula located at the southernmost tip of the empire.To use an analogy, if Freyton is regarded as the United States of America, then the Haven area is Florida.

The Haiwen Peninsula is bordered by the Sea of ​​Steam in the east, the Sea of ​​Swords in the west, and the Sea of ​​Stars in the south. Only one side is connected to the land, and its geographical location is remote.Although the empire conquered the peninsula more than 100 years ago, due to the complex topography of the island, the hot and humid environment, and the fierce resistance of the aborigines, it has not formed effective control and established a province.

So far, there is only one small city formed by iron mines on the Haiwen Peninsula, and several towns are under the effective control of the empire.

Such an area, jokingly referred to by many on the map as "Ferreton's penis", brought little practical benefit other than making the empire's territory appear larger.

The Haiwen area was a headache for all the nobles of the empire and avoided. Gordon actually asked for it, which really surprised Trajan Anduin.

"You have to give me a reason why you have taken a fancy to this place."

Gordon didn't hide it: "Because there is a large magic spring in the Haiwen area, for me, this is the greatest wealth."

"Why don't I know... That's right, your teacher is Rob Antello, the magic fountain that cannot be detected by the Royal Wizard Academy may not be a problem for the Lord of Scepter." His Majesty the Emperor nodded to himself road.

Then, he simply agreed to Gordon's request: "Well, since you like to take an unusual path, then I won't interfere. However, the Haiwen Peninsula is divided into two areas, the North and the South. Where do you want?"

The terrain of the Haiwen Peninsula is gourd-shaped, with two large ends and a narrow middle, connected by an isthmus.

"Your Majesty, maybe my expression is not very clear... What I mean is that I hope to obtain the entire Haiwen Peninsula as a hereditary fief." Gordon leaned forward and said.

"what!"

Trajan didn't expect this young man to have such a big appetite, and stared at him with wide eyes without the majesty of the emperor.

The Haiwen Peninsula covers an area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers, and it is a vast territory at the provincial level of the empire.There are many small countries on the mainland, and the land area is far smaller than that of Haiwen Peninsula.

According to the law of Freyton, the area of ​​the hereditary territory bestowed upon the conferment of an earl shall not exceed [-] square kilometers.And Gordon's request has greatly exceeded this figure.

Even if this land is wild and dangerous, and it is not included in the actual control of the empire, it is a requirement that is completely beyond the scope of common sense.

Gordon also knew that his request was too unprecedented, and it might make it difficult for the emperor to accept it for a while.But he was already prepared and said to Trajan: "Your Majesty, how about we make a deal?"
