On the afternoon of November 3, Rant rode a carriage to the gate of the Lord's Mansion in Maned Wolf City. Behind him were two captains of the Maned Wolf Knights.
After the battle in the morning, Ben Call and Sherman from the Imperial Capital arrived at the right time and became the peacemakers of the Empire. The border war between the Dragon Kingdom and Kirislav was completely put to rest as the territory of the Sixth Prince was contaminated by the fallen demons. And it ends.
According to Lant's request, the sixth prince himself temporarily stayed in White Wolf City to live, while the witch he raised needed to be screened for meaning by the great fairies.
At noon, Lant held a grand banquet. All the legends and demigods present (except Jandis, who was knocked away), and all the high-ranking knights and knights from both sides who participated in the battle were invited to the banquet.
Today, Lant faced off against a demigod and a legend and did not fall behind. He completely opened the passage from the eastern border to the Frostwolf Forest. It can be said to be a victory no less than that of the western border.
It was such a fruitful harvest that when he finished speaking at the banquet, he remembered that the real reason for the war was that the earl in the northwest was detained by the sixth prince for no reason.
When the count was found in the prisoner of war camp, his physical condition was already very bad. He relied on the efforts of several life mages to regain some vitality. According to Lant's tracking using retroactive magic, the witches tried a variety of magic on him. , and even used his high-level body to experiment with magic pattern weapons and gunpowder.
The earl is now dying, but more importantly, his only two heirs who are expected to reach high levels have died, and neither the pillars nor the vassals regard him as the actual ruler of the northwest.
When they arrived at the Northwest Lord's Mansion, there was only one butler who came to greet him at the door. As soon as he saw Lant, he said: "Sir, Prime Minister Richelieu and Lanlong Guozhu are waiting for you in the mansion. Can you tell me what our master is doing?" Are you ready?"
Rand saw that there were obvious signs of crying on the butler's face, and he didn't take into account the difference in status. He just gave a few brief instructions and quickly entered.
In the meeting hall of the Earl's Palace, Richelieu Lanyuan, the prime minister of the Dragon Kingdom, and the two pillars of the country, McLaren Blue Dragon and Bennett Feilong, were sitting in the center. The only magister of the Maned Wolf family, Cohen Maned Wolf, Sitting on both sides were the High Priest of Dragon Tooth City, Dorzi Kallus.
It is obvious that these high-ranking officials and legends are planning to use a small-scale meeting to completely decide on the earl after Kebbins. However, in such a meeting that is related to the rise and fall of many nobles and maned wolf families in the northwest, only Lant has a future. The Marquis of the West represented the northwest nobility, and Cohen, a magister who never stayed in the Maned Wolf City, represented the Maned Wolf family. Earl Kempins worked hard to protect the family property and territory, but in the end he only ended up in this situation.
"Lant, you are finally here," McLaren saw Lant and introduced to the people present, "As everyone knows, Lant is not only a subordinate of Kebbins, but also the master of Yeqi City. Future Ben The monarch of the Horse Kingdom and the Western Earl of the Dragon Kingdom.”
When McLaren Blue Dragon said it, he almost said it to Bennett. The one who really had objections to Lant was probably the legendary mage of the Feilong family.
Although Lant has never dealt with Bennett alone, since Lant's rise, the most negative impact has been on the Feilong family: Lant's Galloping Horse Academy has the Queen of the Magic Network sitting in charge, which has affected the authoritative status of Feilong Academy; Wendy was once sold to the Galloping Horse Plains by the children of the Feilong family, and now she has become a high-profile magician; the magician who the Feilong family fled to White Tree City was completely eliminated by Lant, and the interests there were also greatly damaged.
After various incidents, although Lant's Chamber of Commerce still had trade relations with the Feilong family, the relationship between the two parties was really not good. So far, there are no students from the Feilong family in Benma College, and Feilong College no longer recruits students with the surname of Benma. juvenile.
McLaren looked at Bennett and spoke very softly: "But Rant has always fulfilled his vassal responsibilities towards Kempins. This time Kempins was detained by Kirislav, and it was Rant who presided over the rescue. , he just faced off against Lord Jandis today and had a slight upper hand."
"Jandis..." Bennett muttered the name and felt the pain coming from his brain area.
Jandis Icefield is an extremely talented magician, but she is also a demigod who treats others harshly. The witch academy she founded only recruits the poorest female demon possessors on the plains. However, from this academy, The probability of survival is very low, and the chance of reaching a high-level mage alive is less than one percent.
What makes Jandis even more famous is her attitude towards mixed-race. Whether they are half-orcs, half-elves or dragonborn, she regards them all as hybrids. Thousands of years ago, when she saw a high-level mixed-blood person, she would kill him without hesitation. It was not until the God Emperor ascended to the throne of Zhengshen that she restrained herself.
Bennett had fought against Jandis several times hundreds of years ago, and each time he lost many beloved disciples. It can be said that this legendary dragon mage knows best about "being able to withstand Jandis and gain the upper hand". The weight of a sentence.
Feeling the gaze of McLaren Blue Dragon, Bennett spoke: "Lant, you are indeed a role model for the nobles. I believe that with you here, Maned Wolf City and the Northwest Territory will have a better future."
Before the Prime Minister and Blue Dragon could speak, Bennett said first: "Everyone, everyone knows the complexity of the Northwest Territory. Originally, it faced the Galloping Horse Plains in the north, the Frostwolf Forest in the northeast, the Great Forest in the west, and the Southwest Territory. Access to southern forests.
Even if the environment improves now, if Rand takes charge of the Western Earldom in the future, the Northwest Territory will still be bordered by the Frostwolf Forest and the Great Forest. No high-ranking lord will be unable to handle territorial affairs. "
Bennett pointed at Cohen Maned Wolf, asked him to stand up, and continued: "But now, Kebbins is dying, and no child in his family can break through to the high level in three or two years.
I suggest that Cohen Maned Wolf be allowed to take charge of the earl's affairs first, and if there is a great knight in the Maned Wolf family in the future, he can be officially appointed or dismissed. "
After Bennett finished speaking, the scene fell into a long silence. Neither McLaren, Rand nor Dorzi Kallus, who represented the Temple Alliance, recognized his suggestion.
"Old man, there is still a big difference between a knight lord and a magician. Cohen has been teaching in your magic school these years. He..." McLaren asked with some doubt, "He can handle the development well. Those disputes among the nobles?"
"Well..." Bennett did not answer, because he knew that Cohen could not handle the complicated aristocratic affairs at all. When he brought Cohen over, he was not naive enough to think that he could break the tradition that only knights could serve as pioneer lords. He just Hoping to hedge against McLaren's recent momentum.
