Lord of Arcane

Chapter 167
I saw Eberke take out a piece of parchment and hand it to Lord Saville, and at the same time explained: "This is the list of assistants I found related to the death of Felbers. There are many rats in the territory!"

"That's all?" Epps glanced at it, and it didn't differ much from what he knew.

"No, these are just hidden shallowly, and some of them haven't been exposed!" After speaking, Eboke pointed to the last name on the list and asked, "What did you think of when you saw this name?"

"Harvey?" Epps couldn't remember who this person was for a while, but it was obvious that he knew such a person, "Who is Harvey?"

"He is a steward of the Gorse Chamber's territory branch. This is just a small role, but the problem is the Gorse Chamber of Commerce. I found a batch of grain in their warehouse, and some of it has even been sent to Conifera. gone."

"what?!"

Lord Epps was very shocked, he had not received the news before, "Have you checked it yourself?"

"Yes, I checked it myself." Eberke also knew the seriousness of the matter, and the Gorse Chamber of Commerce was naturally not worth mentioning, but it was definitely not that simple to blatantly steal food from Savile.

"Humph!"

Lord Epps felt an unknown fire in his heart. Although he knew that the Felbers matter had nothing to do with the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, but they jumped out so impatiently, did they really think he would turn a blind eye?
The basis of Savile Land's prosperity is its location - the food supply and material transfer point of the border trade city of Conifera.

Leaving these aside, Savile Territory is just an ordinary territory.If you dare to reach out in the grain trade, you must have the consciousness of being cut off.

In addition, it is extremely uneconomical from the perspective of businessmen to provide food to Conifera by bypassing the territory, but they still do this, so there must be greater interests driving them, or someone is threatening them !

Epps thought about the Angli collar behind the Gorse Chamber of Commerce. After several generations of inheritance, the current lord is an archmage. It seems powerful, but in fact it is not as good as the Savile collar.

Just because in the core area of ​​the empire, spellcasters prefer to live in the territory of the great arcanist, or Severton. There are too few opportunities and attractions in other places, and the development of the territory is quite limited.

That's why there are various chambers of commerce. If there is no chamber of commerce to make money, the lord will run away.

Epps doesn't think that such an Angli Territory can pose a threat to the territory. Even if he is an archmage, he is not his opponent when he comes to Savile Territory.

"Eboke, you lead someone to seize the food first, if anyone dares to protest, they will be arrested together, and I will deal with it when I come back."

In terms of the core interests of the territory, Lord Epps did not hesitate at all. Compared with the possible threat of the princess, the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce was really nothing to mention.

If it weren't for the possibility of being involved behind the scenes, Eberke would not even mention it to him at this time.Thinking in this way, Epps immediately cast a spell and signed the official order on a piece of parchment, left his personal mark and handed it to Eberke.

"One more thing, before I come back, no one from the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce will let them leave the Eastern District."

"Yes." Ebok took the order document, nodded solemnly, and said, "Sion asked me to tell you that the materials needed to develop the Green Pearl Forest have been prepared."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. If there is nothing else, I have to leave. The Austrian Law Federation has reminded me twice!"

"Okay, be careful with everything."

Now almost everything in the territory is tied to Epps, if something happens to him, Ebuke can't imagine what kind of chaos the territory will be in.

"I know, this time, apart from meeting His Excellency Auron, I'm also planning to go to that lord's territory, the arcane competition. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if no one came?"

cough--

Eboke was a little embarrassed, he was just a newly promoted arcanist, and it was really hard to say something about holding an arcane competition in his name.

Just for the sake of the territory, he had to agree to Epps's proposal. Fortunately, there is nothing new under the sun. Even ordinary people can hold arcane competitions. At most, they will be ridiculed.

……

After sending Lord Epps away, Eberke immediately sent the barracks to inform Ke Yan, and the two personally led the team to deal with the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce.

On the other side, Lord Epps, who had just walked out of the portal of the Arcane Union headquarters, was stopped by a young mage before he could take two steps.

"Master Epps, the mentor has been waiting for a long time, please follow me."

With that said, the young mage led Epps out of the teleportation room. After several twists and turns, Epps finally saw the target of the trip—Master Auron.

"Lord Savile, we finally meet!"

Contrary to Epps' expectations, instead of blaming Felbers for his death, the Archmage His Excellency looked kindly, even a little too enthusiastic.

Could it be that I am so indispensable to Her Royal Highness?
Such a thought flashed through Epps's mind, but it was rejected immediately, "Your Excellency Auron, the last time your Excellency invited me, I didn't have time until recently. I'm very sorry."

"Really?" An Ion Stone suspended above Archmage Auron's head made a crisp humming, and suddenly changed its trajectory. The Archmage's face was half a smile.

"It's good to be here, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Although the archmage has a friendly attitude, the gap between the archmage and ordinary mages Epps is very cautious, and he dare not answer casually, so he can only follow the topic and ask: "Your Excellency Auron talked about the glory of the ancestors last time. What means?"

Archmage Auron did not answer the question directly, but changed the subject, "Epps, what do you think of the Empire?"

What about empire?Epps was full of doubts, this question should never be asked to him, he is just a little lord, just a question from the archmage, but he had to answer, "The empire is getting stronger day by day!"

"Hehe, do you know how long the empire has not opened up the XJ domain?"

"This—" Epps knew, but couldn't say it.

"It's been nearly a hundred years!" Archmage Auron spoke out for him. "The last pioneering territory was the Savile Territory. Do you still think that the empire is growing stronger?"

Immediately afterwards, the archmage continued, "70 years ago, the scroll of Nether was stolen, but until today, we know where it is, but we can't get it back. You say how long it will take to grow stronger?"

Epps was silent, and the theft of the Nether scroll was the deepest pain of the Nether people.

70 years ago, any Netherist, even just a farmer, could come to the Offa Federation in Severton to read the Nechrome scrolls, but since one of the sets was stolen, the conditions for reading the Nechrome scrolls have not been so simple up.

First of all, the reader's spellcasting level is required to reach at least level 10, and secondly, there must be a recommendation from a great arcanist or multiple archmages, otherwise, you can only read it after you become an archmage.

Epps has never read the Nether Scrolls. If he can read the Nether Scrolls in advance, he might be able to advance to the Arcanist smoothly.
