Celestial Mage

Chapter 271: Earl of Silvermoon Castle and Baron of Crescent Town (34)

A blink of an eye.

Five days have passed.

Eight o'clock in the morning of the fifth day.

When the first ray of sunlight shone through the window into the bedroom, Archmage Sophia moved her eyes and slowly opened them.

She felt a little heavy in her head, but she was in good physical condition, only slightly thirsty.

Emma, ​​her personal maid, was gently wiping her face with a warm damp cloth.

Emma noticed Sophia's change immediately, and exclaimed in surprise: "Ma'am, are you awake?!"

"Water~" Sophia made a hoarse voice.

Emma immediately brought warm boiled water that was prepared 24 hours a day.

After drinking a few sips of water, Sophia felt much more comfortable. After moving her body, she found that she was a little weak, so she said, "Help me sit up."

Emma immediately complied, and placed several pillows behind Sophia, covered her with a quilt, and carefully tucked her back.

Seeing her delicate and peaceful appearance, Sophia's heart moved slightly, and she asked, "How many days have I slept?"

"Six days, ma'am."

"Chapolet beat Fubos, right?"

Emma nodded slightly, with a trace of undetectable joy on her face: "Yes, madam."

Why is she happy?

Because she had slept with Chapolet, and now that Chapolet is an earl, she will have a good life in the future.

Sophia was well aware of the maid's thoughts and was used to it, so she naturally didn't bother to expose it, and asked, "What about Vobos? Is he still alive?"

"You're alive and well, ma'am."

"Has there been mass killings in the Highlands?"

"No, ma'am, everything is fine. The lives of ordinary people have not been affected in any way, and Silvermoon Castle is as prosperous and peaceful as before."

So Sophia was completely relieved, her tense mind suddenly relaxed, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"I really didn't see the wrong person."

I felt the mana again, and found that the mana had weakened a lot, falling from the peak of the master to the middle of the master.

I can also obviously feel that my energy is not as good as before, and I feel an uncontrollable exhaustion after a little concentration, as if I have aged ten years.

Although I already knew that this was the result, but when I faced it for a long time, I still inevitably felt a gloomy feeling in my heart.

"Hey~ The time to return to the Kingdom of God is one step closer."

After sitting for a while, I felt some strength in my body, so I struggled to stand up.

Emma hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, please don't move. If you want to see someone, I will report it now."

"If you're feeling hungry, there's always a nutrient paste in the kitchen that's always warm and ready to serve."

Sophia was right after thinking about it, so she lay down and said, "I'm really hungry, go get some food. Also, call Malkiri."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away."

The maid Emma immediately went to the door of the bedroom and informed the servant who had been standing by the door, and she herself immediately returned to serve the earl.

After a while, familiar footsteps came from outside the screen, and then the voice of the Chief of Internal Affairs Malkiri rang out.

"Ma'am, I'm here."

At the same time, two maids brought a plate, which contained a plate of strange mushy food.

It's weird, but it's also delicious.

The aroma of food came, and Sophia became more and more hungry, so she said, "Malgiri, wait a minute, I'm starving."

Malkiri was very happy, because it showed that the lady was in good health.

"Ma'am, don't worry about me."

After taking a few mouthfuls of the strange paste, Sophia suddenly felt that the taste was familiar, as if she had tasted it before, and asked, "Emma, ​​did you feed me when I was unconscious?"

Emma nodded: "Yes, twice a day. But I didn't feed it. Master Rosen fed it with the hands of a master."

"Master Rosen?"

"Master Rosen said that although you are unconscious, your body still needs nutritional supplements. If you follow the traditional method and only feed soup and goat milk, you may die of starvation before you wake up."

"But feeding porridge may choke the trachea, so Master Rosen uses magic to shake a lot of food into fine powder, and then feeds it directly into the stomach with the hands of the master."

"Oh~~ He really has a heart."

The sticky taste is a bit like cream, but it is not greasy, and the taste is very good. She ate more than half a bowl before stopping.

After warming the food, I immediately felt better and my strength recovered a lot.

"Malkyri, tell me what happened these days."

Hou Li, the head of internal affairs behind the coral screen, began to introduce what happened these days one by one, in great detail, exactly the same as before.

Sophia listened carefully, and after she finished listening, she said: "So, Xia Bolai, Fubosi, and the highland lords are all in Mochizuki Garden?"

"Yes, the healing priest of the temple said that your body is recovering well, and you may wake up at any time in the past few days, so everyone is waiting for you."

Sophia nodded slowly: "The highlands really need a new earl."

This time, Chapolet's performance was far beyond her expectations, and she was very satisfied, but she was already tired of the Earl's work, and her current physical condition could not cope with the heavy work.

It's time for the younger generation to take over.

"Emma, ​​I have strength, dress me."

"Yes, ma'am."

With Emma's help, Sophia quickly put on a simple but decent dress.

"Malgiri, call the lords to the conference hall, I have something to announce."

"Yes, ma'am."

During this time, Sophia was not idle.

With Emma's help, she paced back and forth in her bedroom trying to regain as much of her physical strength as possible.

After about half an hour, Malkiri returned behind the screen.

"Ma'am, your two nephews, High Priest Fao, Acting President of the Mage Guild Master Bilegu, the lords of the highlands, and Mayor Rosen are already waiting in the conference hall."

"Emma, ​​help me to the main hall."

"Yes, ma'am."

Her body was still weak, and her head was still aching, so Sophia just walked slowly without the help of a mage.

The short journey took a quarter of an hour.

When she came to the large conference hall, she found that many people were already sitting at the chairman's table.

Xia Bolai sat on the right side of the main seat, looking radiant, while Fubosi sat on the left side, with a gloomy face and depressed expression.

As soon as she appeared, everyone in the hall stood up to greet her.

After Sophia took the main seat, everyone sat down.

Sophia looked over everyone's face.

There are 9 people in total in the hall.

Except for Fubosi, the other 8 people can be said to be the existence with the highest status in the highlands.

She also saw Rosen.

He sat at the end of the long conference table, and after feeling her gaze, he smiled slightly, with a clear and deep look in his dark blue eyes.

With a glance, Sophia knew that the young mayor's mana had taken another big step forward.

She also knew in her heart that if there were no accidents, this young man would continue to make rapid progress until he surpassed all the people present, until he rose above the clouds and looked down on all living beings in the world.

"I just don't know if he can reach the peak, break the extreme wall, and achieve extraordinary achievements."

She had some vague expectations.

Soon, she turned her attention to her two nephews.

"Chaply, my dear nephew, do you have anything to say?"

Xia Bolai smiled slightly: "Let the eldest brother talk first."

Fubosi glared at Xia Bolai resentfully, took a deep breath, and said.

"Auntie, I'm not feeling well recently. The medical officer of the temple said that I need rest for the rest of my life. I'm afraid I can't share your worries."

The unsurprising answer is what Sofia wants to see the most, robbing and robbing, but she never wants Omexia's descendants to kill each other.

Nodding, she said, "I agree."

At this time, the officiant Fao said: "Count, how is your health?"

"Very weak, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue to bear the burden of the highland lord."

Sophia told the truth, she was really tired of being the Count of Omexia.

The priest Fao said: "Your nephew Xia Bolai is in the prime of life, full of energy, and I have also read your succession letter. Therefore, I also asked God for an oracle."

"God said that although Xia Bolai has many flaws and a shady past, but he can correct his mistakes and he has the virtues of kindness, tolerance, and honesty. He can be the great lord of the highlands!"

This means that Chapolei has been approved by the gods. If he succeeds as the earl, the golden light of blessing on the god-given stone will not be extinguished.

Finally, there is another Highland traditional procedure, the Lord's Questioning.

Sophia looked at the highland lord present.

"Lords of the highlands, I recommend Chapolei as my successor. If anyone has any objections, they can raise them here."

"Lord Sano, you come first."

This Sano lord is naturally not Faerun, but Electrolux's eldest son Laitley Sano.

He shook his head directly: "I have no objection, I think Chapolei is very suitable to become the highland lord."

At this time, the Sano family became quails with neck-necked necks. Because of the uncle's fault, they had to pay a huge sum of money to the Omisia family.

The future of the family is bleak.

Next, are Bilegu Demitran, Baron Lafinger from Furnace Town, Baron Moreau from Fanggu Town, and Baron Dumont from Riverside Town.

No one objected, and finally it was Rosen's turn.

"Mayor Rosen, although you are not a real highland lord yet, you already have the qualification to speak as a highland lord. Do you have any objections?"

"I have no objection, ma'am."

"very good!"

Sofia raised her voice slightly.

"In the name of the God of Gold, and in the name of the glory of the Omisia family, I follow the tradition of the highlands and declare Chapolei de Omisia as the new highland lord, the IX Earl of Omisia."

After these words fell, the dispute over the great lords of the highlands also came to an end.

Some people are sad, some are joyful, some are in complicated moods, and some are full of excitement.

The wheel of time turned again silently.

Sophia said again: "I'm tired and I'm going to rest. Earl Chapolet, you can continue to chair the meeting."

"Yes, aunt."

Chapolei's face was full of joy.

After sending off Sophia respectfully, Xia Bolai took the head seat of the conference table instead.

He directly proposed a new topic: "Next, I announce the canonization of Sir Rosen de Ferrand as the lord of Crescent Town. According to the tradition of the highlands, anyone who has objections can raise it here."

He asked around like Sophia did before.

Naturally, no one objected.

So, Chapolei made a decision: "Then, in the name of the glory of the Omisia family, I follow the highland tradition and announce that Rosen de Philander has been promoted from a knight to a baron, and will be the lord of Crescent Town from generation to generation. Defend the northern barrier for the Highlands!"

All the lords responded with a loud shout.

As a result, Rosen also transformed from a son of a robber who herded sheep in the twilight forest to a baron lord who ruled over 3 people and [-] Labang lands.

Intuitively speaking, it is as big as a square about 25 kilometers long and wide.

As far as the barony is concerned, it is considered very large, but the climate is cold, the land is barren, the location is remote, and it faces the threat of the Snowfall Mountains in the north, so it is not a good place.

At least not a great place to farm.

In short, there is still a long distance from the peak, but he has officially become a chess player in the Golden Land.

Of course, just a beginner chess player.
