Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

On the third day after Celeste left, Verin went to visit Thaddeus.

This time, Weilin did not go there directly, but instead gathered guards and more than 300 soldiers from the Star-Moon Castle Guard to serve as a guard of honor and went to visit in a formal manner.

On the red phosphorus horse, Weilin stroked Xiaohong's mane and looked at its increasingly strong body. However, its intelligence was a little low. Even though it was already a gold-level magical beast, it still could not speak.

Xiao Hong cherishes the touch of her owner and makes noises from time to time.

I remember the last time my master rode me was more than ten years ago.

The master was becoming more and more powerful, but he was too weak, and he would be able to perform less and less of the duties of a mount in the future.

In addition, there are too many goblins, which makes it scared, but fortunately, its master still likes it.

Weilin had no idea what Xiaohong was thinking. Looking at the scenery outside the border, he saw that all the big trees had been cut down, and some outposts had been built in some inconspicuous places, with two or three people stationed there to collect intelligence in the wilderness.

However, with the presence of a legend, these outposts no longer have to exist.

After a quick inspection, we found that only the building was left of the outpost, with no one inside. Judging from the dust inside, it had been abandoned for more than two years.

Sixty kilometers away from the border of Nanzena County, a city appeared before our eyes.

Four magical puppets emitting a powerful aura stood on both sides of the city gate, watching the adventurers and merchants entering the city.

On the left side of the city gate, a mid-level silver mage sat at a wooden table, looking at the passers-by with some boredom, making sure they had all paid the city entry tax.

According to the professional level, professionals at the gold rank and above are tax-free, professionals at the silver rank must pay a city entry tax of one silver coin, professionals at the bronze rank need to pay a city entry tax of ten copper coins. As for apprentice professionals, mages are tax-free, and warriors only need to pay a symbolic copper coin.

Listening to the sound of coins colliding, the silver intermediate mage felt drowsy.

"Conrad, you're itchy and you're dozing off again."

Hearing the calm words, the silver intermediate magician immediately perked up, turned around, and found that the teacher was standing next to him.

"Well, teacher, please listen to my explanation. Actually, I..."

"Go back and copy 'Hand of the Mage - The True Explanation of Orlek' twenty times."

"I……"

"Thirty times."

"Teacher, I understand."

Conrad immediately nodded and agreed, not daring to say any more nonsense.

"Hand of the Mage - The True Explanation of Orlek" only has 10,000 words. Thirty times is only 300,000 words. If I use both hands, it will only take three days and two nights.

"Get up and follow me to greet the distinguished guest."

Conrad stood up immediately after hearing that. He was so busy trying to explain that he didn't even notice that there were twelve elemental knights following the teacher.

"What are you doing standing around? Let's go!"

"Oh."

Hearing this, Conrad nodded repeatedly and quickly followed.

The teacher is the eldest disciple of the master. He usually stays at home and is rarely seen by outsiders. This time, I am going to welcome the distinguished guest on behalf of the teacher. He must be the lord of this place.

After some analysis, Conrad already had the answer in his heart.

Three kilometers away from the city gate, the group stopped.

Half an hour later, several knights appeared in sight.

Conrad looked at the noble flag, then lowered his head and didn't look at it any more.

He also knew a little about the relationship between his master and Count Qixing. If he offended him accidentally, he would probably have to copy "Hand of the Mage - The True Explanation of Orlek" a thousand times.

In less than a moment, the team stopped a hundred meters away.

Twenty-four knights came to the side of the road and made way.

Seeing this, Weilin patted Xiaohong and motioned her to come forward.

Behind him, Xuemia was half a body length behind, and Kyle was one body length behind.

When he arrived in front of the mid-level Soul Mage, Weilin dismounted and looked at his face. He had never seen him before. When he was about to ask, he saw the other party speak first: "Rollop Electra greets the Earl. The teacher sensed your presence and specially asked me to come here to greet you."

Weilin bowed his head slightly, returned the greeting, and said, "Master Luoluopu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After the two sides greeted each other, they walked towards the city.

Approaching the city wall, I saw the light emanating from the bricks. After a little sensing, I was able to detect traces of magic circles and magic power flowing inside the bricks.

"How long did it take you to build this city?"

After hearing Weilin's question, Rolop thought for a moment and answered, "Not counting the preliminary preparations, it took eight months and thirteen days to build this city, mobilizing 11,237 magic puppets."

Weilin showed a curious look on his face and asked, "Excuse me, if you include the preliminary preparations, how long did it take you in total?"

"Three years, eight months, and thirteen days."

"so long!"

If an ordinary force were to build a city, more than three years would not be considered a long time, but since this is a legendary city, it is a bit long.

He was sure that Sir Thadius had planned to take over this city, but he didn't know what his purpose was.

Entering the city, you will find that the streets are planned on a grand scale, with adventurers and merchants coming and going in an endless stream.

Just step on the stone bricks and feel them lightly to discover the magical patterns hidden inside.

"Sir Thadius, are you planning to use this city to build your own floating city?"

This thought popped up in his mind, and Weilin thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed possible. Otherwise, why would he use such good materials to build this city? Could it be that he wanted to give it to me?

Thinking of this possibility, Weilin felt ashamed. He glanced at the people around him and found that their attention was not on him. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he thought about the scene of himself doing business with Lord Thadius, he rejected the idea.

Rather than giving it to him as a gift, Weilin would rather have Lord Thadius let him buy it with his own money.

As for the purpose, it is actually very simple, to raise money for building a floating city.

Not every legendary wizard is as rich as his grandfather and can hide several floating cities.

For most legendary wizards, just building a floating city can take up half of their lives. Some legendary wizards even never have a floating city of their own until the time of Nirvana.

The distance from the city gate to the Mage Tower is not far, but not close either.

Compared to the prosperity at the city gate, the shops near the Mage Tower occupy a large area but are very deserted.

Weilin was somewhat puzzled, but he did not ask.

As for the reason, it is not difficult to guess. It is nothing more than giving money in the name of purchasing shops. As for which forces they are, it cannot be seen just by the names of these shops.

Outside the Mage Tower, two low-level elemental knights with souls and swords stood on both sides, intimidating all directions.
