Templar Sun King: Chapter 50 Territories and Ruins
Two days later, the City Lord's Mansion.
It has been two days since the rebellion initiated by Emma was quelled, and now Falcon City is back under Bit's control.
Those who participated in the rebellion were gradually dealt with by Bit, or dismissed from all positions, or killed directly.
Adam also fully felt Bit's brutal and direct actions, but these had nothing to do with Adam.
He is now in the City Lord's Mansion in order to choose a fief within the territory of Falcon City, which was a condition in the magic contract at that time.
A huge map hangs on the wall, the center of which is undoubtedly Falcon City.
To the north is a large plain, with a river passing through the middle, and on the other side of the river is Danube, another city in the Federation of Seven Cities.
The terrain in the south is dominated by hills and mountains. It is separated from the noble council by a huge forest, the Ash Forest.
The west is adjacent to Fort Gordon in the Federation of Seven Cities, and the east is close to the sea. It is all the territory of Falcon City, and it is also the most prosperous place under the rule of Falcon City.
"Choose a place. The ones that are not marked on the map are yours to choose." Bit pointed to the map, very generous.
"What does it mean to be marked?"
"There is already a lord or an important town in Falcon City, so I can't give you a territory. I'm much more generous than Emma. All the land under the rule of Falcon City is taken out, you can choose!"
It sounds very moving.
Adam looked carefully on the map and found three places that looked good.
One is a small town near the west of Gordon, and it is an important transit point for the trade between Gordon and Falcon City. One is a small town in the south with a large farm, but unfortunately it is often harassed by goblins.
There is another one located in the east of Falcon City, an offshore town with abundant aquatic products and relatively prosperous.
"I heard Arras say that there is a rule in the Federation of Seven Cities: the land that a lord himself acquires through battle will be directly regarded as his own territory, instead of handing over to the main city."
"Yes, in fact, not only the Federation of Seven Cities, but all countries have such a decree, in order to encourage the lords to expand outward and increase the territory of the entire kingdom. It seems that you have a choice?"
Adam nodded and stretched out his hand to the small town in the south.
"If I clean up the nearby goblins, are those woodlands also my territory?"
Bit scratched on the map, "The area within this line was originally the territory of our Falcon City. For some reason, it was occupied by goblins. If you can grab the place outside this line from the goblins, they are yours. ."
Adam took a look at the place where the pip line was drawn. One-third of the place was originally the territory of Falcon City. If Adam wants to increase the area of the territory, he needs to take back this part of the territory first.
But these places, Adam thought for a while, corresponded with the map, it seems that they are the places that need to be cleaned up this time to destroy the goblins. Although the soldiers rushed back halfway through the operation because of the early end of the civil unrest in Falcon City, some goblins must have been cleaned up.
"Okay, that's the place." Adam said, pointing to the southern town.
"Are you sure? This is basically the southernmost town. For the sake of our cooperation, I have to remind you that he will be the first to be attacked by the noble council. Also, you have to pay attention to the vampires from the Ash Forest and their An attack from a domesticated vampire."
Bit reminded, and then said to Andrew, "You just watch him fooling around like that?"
Andrew smiled, "I will follow the arrangement of the young master."
"It's here." Anyway, his lordship won't last long. Once he has enough strength, his goal is the entire Falcon City.
***
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Adam took Andrew on a carriage to the Mages Association. This was a certain agreement between the president and Adam before leaving after killing the Silver Bishop that day.
Adam doesn't know what purpose the president of this association of mages sees himself, but anyway, he is idle, so it's not bad to go and see.
Soon Adam and Andrew came to the headquarters of the Mages Association. It is located in the westernmost part of Falcon City. It is built on the back of a mountain. The main building is a seven-story tower, on which you can vaguely see the flow of magical elements of various colors.
Adam estimated that all kinds of magic were arranged on this tower by the mages of the Federation, both defensive and offensive.
At the entrance of the Mages Association, there were two black iron mages on duty. When they saw Adam getting off the carriage, they immediately greeted him warmly.
Whether it is Adam's own strength as a bronze-white mage or a silver knight guarding him, they can't be too enthusiastic. This is where strength is concerned. Professionals with high strength are always more likely to gain respect from others.
"Sir, please come with me, the president is waiting for you on the sixth floor." The two black iron mages secretly fought for a while, and finally a girl with two ponytails got the chance to lead Adam into the mages union.
Along the way, many mages greeted Adam enthusiastically, and then looked curiously at Andrew who was following behind Adam.
Five minutes later, Adam appeared in the president's office, and at the same time he knew the name of the president of the Falcon City Mage Association, Arman.
"Please sit down." Arman politely asked Adam and Andrew to sit down.
"I know that a mage's time is very precious, so I'll say it straight. I have a ruin here, and I want to invite Adam to join you. I wonder if you're interested?"
"Relic?" Relic Adam knows, but while there are benefits, the danger is not small, "Why me?"
Arman pointed to Andrew behind Adam.
"In the beginning, I was interested in your identity as a white mage and your ability to summon bright creatures. White magic is very useful in this ruin. Later, Andrew's successful promotion to the silver rank made me more determined to invite you to enter."
"I want to know the details of this ruin."
"Of course you can, I don't know if you don't know. In the undead natural disaster a hundred years ago, a bone archduke fell to Celtic. The undead breath he left behind polluted the entire forest, which is now the Ash Forest."
"In an accident, I learned from an ancient book that the undead army of the Bone Grand Duke built a dungeon in the Ash Forest, where the treasures of the Bone Grand Duke were hidden. In addition to gold and silver jewelry, more importantly, there may be all kinds of magic. ancient books."
Magic is constantly developing and being lost. If you can obtain ancient magic books, it is more precious to any mage than any gold and silver jewelry.
"It sounds very tempting, how many people are involved and how will the results be distributed?"
The undead natural disaster and the Bone Archduke Adam don't know anything about it, and have never heard of it.
However, he finally knew the reason why Arman was interested in his identity as a white mage. Since it was an underground palace built by an army of undead, there was too much room for white magic to play in it.
In order to prevent Arman from discovering the anomaly, he decisively pretended to be very interested in practical interests.
"If you and Andrew join, let me see, there will be six people in total. You and I, Andrew and Helen, and two silver mages from the Goldberg Mage Association. As for the allocation, If the two mages have no opinion, the four silvers will get 90% of them, and the remaining 10% will be divided equally between you and Helen. But it depends on the strength, doesn't it?"
This is indeed the truth. Arman's strength alone is not enough to explore the underground palace left by the Bone Grand Duke.
You must know that according to the records of the classics, almost all of the Celtic masters were dispatched to deal with the Grand Duke of Bone, and finally he was beheaded in the Ash Forest.
For this reason, the entire Celtic high-level combat power was almost wiped out. Celtic's strength in the mainland was originally counted down, and this time it was severely damaged, and it has not fully recovered until today.
In order to obtain the treasure, he had to join forces with two silver mages from the Goldberg Mage Association, but in this way he was in a weak position after the two silver mages joined.
This annoyed him until Emma revealed her identity as the Silver Mage. If it wasn't for Emma's cooperation with the Church of Dawn, he would have wanted to help Emma besiege Bit together.
Fortunately, the appearance of Adam and Andrew gave him hope again, which is why Arman would help Adam to give him a magical contract.
"No problem, I think I will fight for it." If he is of no use in his actions, it is naturally difficult to get the benefits. On the contrary, everything will be different, after all, we still rely on strength to speak.
"So you agreed to join this adventure?"
"Yes."
"Then hope we have a happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
