The promise of slow wear for the rest of your life

A few years passed in a flash.

As Eligort's eldest son Brinas grew up year by year, Arnold entrusted him with more and more territorial affairs.

By the time Brinas came of age at the age of 15, Arnold had completely let go of the government affairs of the territory, leaving everything to him.

Brinas, who grew up in an environment where various ethnic groups lived together, was very fair and just in his dealings with others.

Whether it is treating the same race, the elves, the dwarves, the goblins, the titans, or the mixed blood of all races, Brinas can treat them equally.

Thanks to this, the citizens of Thorn Ridge also supported him very much.

Especially after Arnold completely let go of the territorial government affairs and retreated behind the scenes, the bolder citizens dared to call him "little lord" in person.

Not only did Arnold have no grudges about this, he was even a little proud of it.

This shows how satisfied he is with the heir he has carefully cultivated.

Spring went to autumn, and in the blink of an eye, it was the second time for the Spring of Life Auction to be held.

In this auction, there are not only a large number of life springs as the finale, but also many rare treasures collected by Arnold as supporting items.

While Thorn City was bustling like never before, the auction was also held with unprecedented success.

At the end of the auction, not only the life spirit springs that were the finale of the auction were all bid at high prices, but even the rare and rare treasures that were used as the supporting auction were all bid at high prices.

Thorn Ridge made a lot of money this time.

So much so that when Brinas and Arnold talked about this matter, their eyes and faces were full of joy that could not be concealed.

After listening to him with a smile on his face, Anol couldn't help but praise him a few words.

Then he was instructed to continue to follow this model for future auctions.

Brinas agreed, and then talked about the auction proceeds.

I just heard him say: "The [-]% of the life spring auction price that should be distributed to the elves, I have already ordered someone to count it, and it has all been moved into your private storage. Grandpa can send someone to count it again at any time. If you find a problem, you can send someone to me to check it at any time.”

The fact that Arnold is the king of the elves is no longer a secret to those who are close to him, such as the Eligot family and the Cod family.

Briners had also known about this for a long time.

Therefore, there is this saying.

To be honest, Arnold is still not used to being called a grandpa.

However, he didn't show it.

Even when he gets along with Brinas on weekdays, he can bear the airs of an elder.

Just from the surface, no one can see it.

The same is true at this time.

Arnold looked at Brinas with a smile, and said in an extremely gentle tone: "There is no need to be counted. I am very relieved when you do things."

Briners was overjoyed to hear that, grinning like a kid who got candy.

Arnold smiled back, then spoke again, and the topic changed suddenly: "Two days ago, I notified the administrator and asked the king for a replacement for the Burt family's hereditary title."

"In the next two days, you should order someone to prepare for the nobility ceremony. By then, you will be the rightful lord of our Thorn Ridge. I only hope that you will treat the people in your territory well and protect every inch of Thorn Ridge with your heart."

Brinas was stunned for a moment, and after recovering, he hurriedly declined: "Grandpa, my grandson is still young, so I'm afraid he won't be able to do it."

"You are already an adult, not young. Besides, I taught you, so I know exactly if you are competent."

After the words fell, Anor didn't wait for him to say more, and then changed his mouth and said: "After you become the lord, I will leave Thorn Ridge for a while."

Brinas' attention was immediately diverted: "Where are you going?"

Arnold said without even thinking about it: "Travel around the countries of the human race, and challenge the powerhouses of each country by the way."

Hearing this, Brinas opened his mouth and asked, "Is Lord Dragon God going with you?"

Anol immediately turned his head to look at Algus who was sitting beside him, and asked, "Do you want to go with me?"

Orgus responded without hesitation: "It's good to walk around."

Anol nodded with a smile: "Then let's go together."

The worried look on Brinas' face disappeared in an instant: "So my grandson can rest assured."

Brinas's knighthood ceremony went extremely smoothly.

Since the hereditary title of the Burt family is the title of baron, what Brinas can inherit is also the title of baron, not Arnold's own title of earl.

Fortunately, this did not affect Brinas' succession to the lordship of Thorn Ridge at the same time.

After Arnold resigned from the position of lord, he suddenly felt that he had nothing to do.

At the same time, Arnold finally received the notification of the completion of side mission [-] issued by the Almighty System.

According to the boy's voice system, he completed the task this time and got the best rating.

A full 15 space-time coins entered the account, which can be regarded as offsetting the total amount of space-time coins that Arnold spent in recent years.

If you count the rewards he got from the live broadcast during his daily alchemy and preparation of magic potions, then his total balance of time and space coins is not only the same as when he first came here, but it has increased a lot.

All in all, Arnold is quite satisfied with this.

No, just after receiving a piece of space-time coins into the account, Arnold has his eyes on the next space-time coin that will be entered into the account.

Up to now, the only tasks he needs to complete in this world are main task three, side task three, and additional tasks.

Let's not mention the additional tasks, just talk about the other two for the time being.

The main task three and the branch task three are to lead the fallen elves to reoccupy the seat of one of the eight major races in the ancient continent, and to avenge the dead elves.

These two task orders seem to have little connection on the surface, but in fact they are closely related.

You must know that those human races that caused the destruction of the elf land back then were all among the strongest on this continent.

Those strong ones, of course, did not come for the effect of the spiritual spring of life that can life and death human flesh and bones, but for the effect of the spiritual spring of life that can make dead trees rejuvenate and prolong life.

Their purpose is nothing more than to rely on the special effect of the spiritual spring of life to obtain a longer lifespan, even so long that they can have more time to advance to a higher level and eventually become gods.

This is the real reason why the Spiritual Spring of Life was coveted by others, which led to the destruction of the elves.

If Anor wants to avenge the dead elves, he needs to defeat or even kill those strong men.

If he could really kill those strong men, then he would become the strongest man on this continent other than gods.

Today, when the gods are sleeping, the status of the strongest of a family is already equal to that of the gods of the same family

By that time, the elves who possess the most powerful people on the mainland will undoubtedly regain their place as one of the eight major races in the ancient continent.

The reason why Arnold was so moved to take a shortcut to become a god was precisely because of this.

Because long before that, Arnold had already seen through the essence of the world here.

In short, this world is still a world where the strong are respected.

As long as he is strong enough, then he can have a high enough status, and at the same time, the status of the elves he protects will also rise.

This is the main reason why Arnold is so active and wants to take a shortcut to become a god, and it is also the main reason why Arnold decided to take risks and challenge the powerhouses of various countries after he found that the shortcut was impossible.

Fortunately, whether it was the magic that the original owner had practiced, or sword skills, or archery, Arnold never slacked off from the beginning to the end.

In addition, he himself has an unusually powerful mental power, as well as the blessing of the body tempering technique which is very effective.

It allowed him to cultivate all the magic, sword skills, and archery that the original master had learned to the point where he could compete with the strong here in just a few decades.

Otherwise, he didn't know how long it would take to avenge those dead elves.

Even, he might have to give up this task and use other more complicated and time-consuming methods to complete the main task three.

According to Arnold's plan, he was going to challenge the strong players from various countries one-on-one.

Moreover, in his plan, these challenges will only be fought by him alone, and Olgus does not need to fight.

Under normal circumstances, strong men from various countries who receive challenges from strong men of the same level will not respond to the challenge, whether it is for their own face or the face of the country they support.

However, plans have not kept pace with the changes.

What he never expected was that before his first letter of challenge was sent out, the people he planned to challenge one by one jointly sent him an invitation letter, inviting him to represent Kelan Kingdom's strongest One of those who participated in the Hegemony Conference of the Nations.

This competition for hegemony among the nations was known throughout the entire ancient continent.

Arnold has lived here for decades, so he has heard of it.

To put it bluntly, this is a ranking competition among nations of the Terran race.

Held every 50 years.

The contestants are all strong players from all over the world.

Each country can send up to three participants.

The strength shown by those three people in this competition will be the foundation of the ranking of countries.

In the end, the top ten countries will become one of the powerful human nations in the next 50 years.

The countries ranked below ten will become the vassal states of those ten powerful countries in the next 50 years.

The ten major powers will not interfere in the state affairs of the dependent countries, but the dependent countries need to pay tribute to the powerful countries they are attached to every year.

Tributes include but are not limited to rare treasures. If a financially strapped dependent country cannot provide enough treasures and rare treasures to pay tribute, subjects with excellent cultivation qualifications can replace the rare treasures and pay tribute to the powerful country it is attached to.

As far as Arnold knows, the last hegemony conference among the nations was held a year before the destruction of the elves.

After careful calculation, it is only more than forty years ago.

Because I learned from the general history of the ancient continent that there were precedents for holding the hegemony conference of various countries in advance, so when Arnold received the invitation letter, he didn't think much about it.

In his own heart, Arnold also wants to get in touch with the strong players from various countries, and understand their strength in advance, so as to prepare for the next challenge.

Therefore, when receiving the invitation letter, Arnold readily expressed to the visitor that he would be there on time.

The official opening time of this competition for hegemony among the nations is scheduled to be half a year later, and the venue is set to be the oldest and most powerful country on this continent - the Principality of Nigu.

The country of Kelan is far away from the Principality of Nigu. Anor, along with the other two strong men from the Kingdom of Kelan, set off half a year in advance, and hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the location of the Hegemony Conference of the Nations, the county of Shay in the Principality of Nigu. Chartres.

Olgus naturally came here with him.

The person in charge of receiving them was the Lord of the city of Chartres.

Due to the special geographical location of Chartres City in Shay County, which is located in the depths of a desolate desert, there is only this city in the county, and the city residents in this city are the citizens, so there is no lordship in this place.

That is to say, in the entire city and even the entire county, the only person with the highest status is the city lord.

Arnold and his party received by him in person will certainly not be treated badly.
