Magic fairies are the embodiment of the will of the magic web. They are a kind of magical life that is naturally connected to the magic web. Their existence is only affected by single or mixed magic elements in the environment and has nothing to do with human will. Humans can use and transport magic fairies, but Magic fairies cannot be created or destroyed.
To communicate with magical fairies, great nobles can only hire magisters. Magisters can connect to the magic network and naturally feel the fairies' emotions and thoughts.
To transport magic goblins, containers with the same properties as the goblins are used. For example, a sealing magic circle is carved on the eggshell of the monster to seal the goblin in the egg.
Sealing an excessive number of magic fairies can prevent the outbreak of a single element. Rand received two magical beast eggs from Duke Li Qi. Inside were two magical fairies sealed, one was an earth fairy and the other was a water plant fairy.
Lant bought two goblins, and Li Qi gave them a 20% discount, 1,600 gold coins for two. But what's really important is that Li Qi got these two fairies directly from the Fairy Queen, and the other noble families didn't know about it. As a border viscount, Lant hopes to hide his strength as much as possible, keep a low profile, and don't let anyone know about it. The nobles of the royal capital brought the conspiracy to their own territory.
. .
"Boom!" In the afternoon, when Lant was visiting to return gifts to his neighbors, he saw black smoke rising from a block not far away.
"The fire protection in this royal capital is mediocre. It's on fire." Lant rode his Warcraft Horse Liehuo and rushed to the place where the smoke was coming from. He was also a palace viscount, so he should go and take a look.
The horse's hooves stepped heavily on the twisted path, and Lant saw a three-story mud house on the street at the end of the alley, black smoke rising, and a large hole exposed in the outer wall.
Before Rand could see clearly, he only felt a heat wave, and a fireball with a diameter of 1 meter struck from the direction of Tsuchiya.
"Fire!" Lant subconsciously transferred his fighting spirit to the war horse. The magic pattern on Liehuo's body instantly inspired a ghostly light, and a wind blade formed, surrounding Liehuo and Lant like an air film. Lant immediately rode towards the fireball.
Viewed from the air, Lant's air film penetrated the fireball like a bullet, and the sudden change in air pressure caused the fireball to explode like a punctured water balloon.
"Boom~" The air wave blew up all the gravel and dead branches in the alley. Some rags and waste papers were ignited by the flames and kept falling.
The air wave knocked down a girl who looked like an intermediate mage. A silver-white collar was exposed under her gray robe. She looked rich or noble.
"Let's go!" An old figure ran over from the earthen house and grabbed the girl.
"But?" The girl stood up with difficulty and pointed at Lant.
"Gandalf?" Lant looked at the old man's figure and recognized that this was the old mage who had been with him a few months ago.
"Ah, Lan...Xu~" Gandalf naturally saw Lant and just made a gesture.
"Help us." The mage didn't say much, pointed behind him, and ran away from Lant with the girl.
"This Gandalf is not young yet, and he still likes heroes to save beautiful women?" Lant joked in his heart. Since it is Gandalf, let's see the situation first, so Lant continued to move forward, but he did not expect that there would be another scene in the building. A mage wearing a white robe came out. As soon as this man staggered out of the big hole, he saw Lant coming towards him.
"Whoosh" Seeing Lant dressed as a knight, the mage did not hesitate, and a fireball less than half a meter in diameter flew towards Lant.
"Roar!" The fire and wind elements were enraged by such spells. They stepped on the ground twice with their hooves, and a wind blade collided with the fireball.
"Stop him quickly!" Several priests came around from the other side of the house.
With a "boom", the wind blade hit the fireball, and everyone was blown to the ground by the heat wave. The white-robed mage, who was only a junior, was also blown down and fell onto the gravel. The fireball just now had exhausted his last bit of magic power.
"What's going on here? Who dares to act arrogant in the capital?" Lant had no intention of dismounting. He was the deputy captain of the patrol team on Longtai Mountain, and he only needed to show his superiority.
The two priests caught the white-robed mage, and the leader ran over.
"Sir, we are from the Temple Alliance, and this person is a cult believer."
"A cult?" Rant was shocked. This group of people was obviously related to Gandalf. If they were a cult, then who was Gandalf?
"What kind of cult! I am a believer in the Holy Fire. We believe in purity, blazing, and dedication. What kind of cult is this?" The white-robed mage kept shouting,
"You lackeys of the church, you have controlled the faith, and you still want to rob...ah..." The two priests beat him fiercely, leaving the white robe speechless, and Lant probably understood what was going on.
"Since he is a cultist, does he have a gang?" Lant asked pretending to be very concerned.
"Eh" The leading clergyman was a little confused by the question.
"There should be. The news I got is that they have two gangs. Didn't you see it?"
"Oh? Where are the two accomplices? Then you have to look for them carefully. Don't let anyone escape. Are they cultists? They can go in any direction. You must look carefully!" After saying this, Lant turned around and returned. Ignore the few priests who were stunned.
"Hey, sir, we have too few manpower. Can you help us?" The leading cleric saw that Lant was about to leave and wanted to use some manpower.
"I'm from the patrol team of Longtai Mountain. We have to go back to Longtai Mountain to be on guard first." Lant left without looking back, thinking to himself, you'd be fine if I didn't mess with you. What kind of black-scaled horse do you want?
. . What happened during the day refreshed Rant's impression of the Royal Capital, so he called Dugan and Tierney over at night to make arrangements for his return.
"You two won't stay here for too long. I hope to focus on rebuilding Yeqi City next year. Once Yeqi City starts to be repaired, you, a senior knight, will be needed to lead the team." Lant looked at Du Gen, started painting cakes.
"The previous deputy leader of our knights, an intermediate knight, I have already sealed the knight's leader. If my Yeqi City can run, I will immediately give him a fast land in the plains." Lant said, while looking at The reactions of the two people.
"Knight of the Fief" Tierney whispered seriously, his eyes full of desire.
"Nothing is a fiefdom knight. If I have the credit for recovering Yeqi City, my title will not be allowed to go any further." Lant looked at the two of them.
"Then from now on, you will not be entitled to the entire title based on your level?"
"Sir, tell me... can we have a title?"
"The Galloping Horse Plain is very big. Now the barbarians are listening to me. I have to find someone to settle down on the plain." Lant continued to seduce.
"So you have to improve yourself while you are in the capital."
"Yes, sir, we will definitely work hard!" Both of them nodded.
"I wrote a schedule for you. It includes what the caravan will do when it arrives, and how much stuff to send to Maned Wolf City every month." Yesterday, Lant asked the Frostwolf family and Crillius to order for themselves. A space ring.
In the future, Lant himself holds a space ring, and the heads of the Royal Capital and Maned Wolf City each hold one. They are mainly used to deliver the alchemy products made by Lant, the Warcraft meat and magic grain feed purchased by the Royal Capital. .
In addition, Dugan is also responsible for managing Lant's guards in Dragon Tooth City, allowing the reserve knights to strengthen their training and take care of the barbarian cavalry.
Tierney's mission is mainly to improve himself. In addition, Lant promised him that if he takes over the Galloping Horse Plains in the future, he can give his family a place where the low-level demon possessors in his family can have a place to stay.
. . . . Lant arrived at Maned Wolf City from Dragon Tooth City on the early morning of Monday, December 25th.
After arriving at the villa of the Earl's Mansion in Maned Wolf City, the Earl's servant came over and asked Lant to go see the Earl.
"Fernando has already told me. Thank you very much for holding him back at that time. You did the right thing. We in the Northwest Territories should not get involved in the disputes between those in the royal capital." This was what the count said as soon as he saw Lant. Speaking of which, when Lant saw him, he was still half-lying on a huge recliner.
Fernando and Elenda were both beside the count, quietly listening to the conversation between their father and Lant.
"This is what I should do."
"I'm very happy that you can abide by the agreement between you and me in the Royal Capital. I know that in terms of the amount, you can only sell iron armor and black-scaled horses here, which is definitely a loss for you. But you also need to know that when you arrive in the Royal Capital, No matter who you sell to or not, you are still taking sides. As long as you take sides, just like when you gave the black-scaled horse to Prince Li Qi, you are showing your support for him." These words of the earl He clearly told Lant that he was aware of Lant's little moves, but he also admitted that Lant had not violated their agreement.
"Sir, from the moment His Majesty Du Sen decided to make me the Palace Viscount, I was forced to take sides." Lant didn't want to say that he was actually standing with the Fairy Queen, and Li Qi was just on the surface.
"If I don't give Li Qi some valuable gifts, as a Duke he wants to make me his court earl, then I will be even more unable to escape."
"What?" The old maned wolf almost stood up. He didn't expect Lant to be so popular. This only shows that the undercurrent in the capital is more intense than he thought. Unfortunately, his old injury has relapsed, and now he can only maintain the most basic activities. It’s already not easy.
"It's hard for you. I'm afraid you can see that the royal capital is far more complicated than us northwest nobles imagined. In the future, you will still open up the Galloping Horse Plains. There is no need to spend all your experience in the royal capital."
"Yes, Lord Count"
"I heard that you have no engagement with Gulea Blue Dragon?" Earl's Peak said in a roundabout way,
"What do you think of Elenda? She looks very much like her mother."
"Father!" Elenda protested.
