Templar Sun King

Chapter 50 Territory 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 disposed of by Bit, or all their positions were removed, or they were directly killed.

Adam also fully felt Bit's brutal and direct approach, but none of this had much to do with Adam.

He is now in the City Lord's Mansion to choose a fief in the territory of Falcon City, which was a condition of the magic contract at that time.

A huge map hangs on the wall, and the center is undoubtedly Falcon City.

To the north is a large plain, with a river running through it, 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, separated from the noble council by a large 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. It's up to you to choose what is not marked on the map." 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 it to you as a territory. I am much more generous than Emma. I will take out the entire land under the rule of Falcon City. You can choose!"

It sounds very touching.

Adam looked carefully at the map and found three places that looked good.

One is a small town close to Goldberg in the west, and it is an important transit point for the trade between Goldberg 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, a small coastal town with rich aquatic products and relatively rich.

"I heard from Arras that there is a rule in the Federation of Seven Cities: the land acquired by a lord through battle will be directly regarded as his own territory, and he does not need to hand it over to the main city."

"That's right, not only the Federation of Seven Cities, but all countries have such a decree 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 reached out a little to the small town to the south.

"If I clean up the nearby goblins, are those woodlands also my territory?"

Bit swipe on the map, "The area within this line was originally the territory of our Falcon City. For some reason, it was invaded by goblins. As long as you can snatch it from the goblins outside this line, then they are yours. .”

Adam looked at the place where Bit drew the line, and one-third of the area 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, and corresponded with the map, it seems that this is the place that needs to be cleaned up for the extermination of goblins.Although the soldiers rushed back halfway through the operation because of the civil turmoil in Falcon City, some goblins must have been cleaned up.

"Okay, that's the place." Adam pointed to the small town in the south.

"Are you sure? This is basically the southernmost town. For the sake of our cooperation, I have to remind you that it will be the first to be attacked by the noble council. In addition, you have to pay attention to the vampires from the Ash Forest and their The attack of the feeding vampire."

Bit reminded, and then said to Andrew: "You just watch him mess around like this?"

Andrew smiled, "I obey the young master's arrangement."

"That's it." Anyway, the lord's career will not last long, once he has enough strength, his goal is the entire Falcon City.

***
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Adam took Andrew into a carriage and went to the Mages Union. This was a certain agreement made by the president and Adam before he left after killing Bishop Baiyin that day.

Adam didn't know what the president of the Master's Union had for seeing him, but anyway, he was idle, so it would be good to have a look.

Soon Adam and Andrew came to the headquarters of the Mage Union. It is located in the westernmost part of Falcon City, built against a mountain. The main building is a seven-story tower, on which you can vaguely see the flow of magic elements of various colors.

Adam guessed that all kinds of magic were arranged by the mages of the Federation on this high tower, both for defense and for attack.

At the gate of the Mage Union, there were two black iron mages on duty. When they saw Adam get off the carriage, they immediately greeted him warmly.

Whether it's the strength of Adam's own bronze and white mage or the guardianship of a silver knight, they can't be too enthusiastic. This is a place to judge strength.Professionals with high strength will always gain the respect of others more easily.

"Sir, please follow me, the president is waiting for you on the sixth floor." Two black iron mages fought secretly, and finally a girl with twin ponytails got the chance to lead Adam into the mage association.

Along the way, many mages greeted Adam enthusiastically, and then looked curiously at Andrew who was following Adam.

Five minutes later, Adam appeared in the president's office, and at the same time, he also knew the name of the president of the Falcon City Mage Union, Arman.

"Please sit down." Alman asked Adam and Andrew to sit down politely.

"I know that a mage's time is very precious, so I'll just say it straight. I have a ruin here, and I want to invite Adam to join you. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Remains?" Adam knew about the relics, but while there were benefits, there were also dangers. "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 light creatures. White magic is very useful in this ruin. Later, Andrew's success in advancing to the silver rank made me more determined to invite you in."

"I want to know the details of this ruin."

"Of course, I don't know if you are clear about it. In the undead natural disaster a hundred years ago, a skeleton prince fell in Celtic. The undead aura 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 Lord Bone built an underground palace in the forest of ashes, which contained the treasure of Lord Bone. In addition to gold, silver and jewels, what is more important is that there may be all kinds of magic Ancient books."

Magic is constantly developing, and it is also constantly being lost. If you can obtain ancient magic books, it is more precious than any gold, silver and jewelry for any mage.

"It sounds very tempting. How many people are involved and how are the results distributed?"

The Undead Scourge and the Bone Duke Adam don't know anything about it, and they haven't even heard of it.

However, he finally knew the reason why Arman was interested in his status as a white mage. Since it was an underground palace built by an army of undead, white magic had too much room to play in it.

In order to prevent Alman from discovering the abnormality, he decisively pretended to be very interested in actual interests.

"If you and Andrew join, let me see, there will be six people in total. You and me, Andrew and Helen, and two silver mages from the Goldberg Mage Association. As for the distribution, if the two mages have no objections In other words, the four silvers will get [-]% of them, and the remaining [-]% will be shared equally between you and Master Helen. But the specifics depend on strength, right?"

This is indeed the truth, Arman's strength alone is not enough to explore the underground palace left by the Bone Duke.

You must know that according to the records in the classics, almost all the Celtic masters were dispatched to deal with the Grand Duke of Bones, and they finally killed him 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 at the bottom, and this time it was even more damaged, and it has not fully recovered until today.

In order to obtain the treasure, he had to join forces with the two silver mages of the Goldberg Mage Association, but in this way he was in a weak position after the two silver mages joined.

This annoys him until Emma reveals her identity as the Silver Mage.If it weren'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 made him see hope again, which is why Arman would help Adam give him a magic contract.

"No problem, I think I will fight for it." If he is useless in action, it will naturally be difficult to share the benefits.On the contrary, everything will be different, after all, we still rely on strength to speak.

"So you agree to join this adventure?"

"Yes."

"Then I hope we can cooperate happily!"

"Happy cooperation!"
