Night Raven Master

Chapter 257 Countess Fina's Plan
The spacious and bright hall, the soft and clean brown-red velvet sofa, and the transparent and crystal-clear magic crystal lamp make the whole living room feel quite comfortable.

A phantom of Art sat on the couch.

Opposite him was a beautiful woman in a light blue wizard dress.

Commoners may feel something because of the beauty of women, but in the world of wizards, "beauty" is already a rotten street.

Just find a female wizard, and the comprehensive evaluation of appearance and figure can reach 90 points.

Moreover, the more prosperous areas, even the non-wizard class—the magic workshop produced a large number of plastic and cosmetic spell props.

Art looked at the young woman in front of him. Although she looked "young", she was the half-sister of the nearly thousand-year-old Marquis Congobert.

Fina Cassia Yodhwa.

Her mother is a marquis of the fourth level of the apocalypse, the wife of the Duke of Jodhwa, the former royal family of Kayasit, not a royal family, but a clan.

The difference between the clan and the royal family, to put it simply, the parents of the king's son and daughter belong to the royal family, and the blood developed by the king's brothers and sisters is called the clan.

One is a relative and the other is a relative.

Looking at the opponent's snow-white skin, like ice crystals, and silvery-white pupils with bluish tinge, Yate couldn't help but think of a frost elf, a kind of elemental spirit and a devil.

The main meditation method of the Catesia royal family is related to frost. They also study blood spells and try to obtain the power of frost elves and devils.

At this point, Art is very clear.

And the Countess Cassia sitting in front of him also seemed to be a projected phantom.

Similar to Phantom of the Night, it appears to be a projected phantom called "Shadow of Frost".

Moreover, compared to the phantom of the night, the level is obviously much higher, quite real, just like a real person.

The cold and frosty air emanating from the other party's body is also very similar to spiritual pollution. If he didn't know that the other party was in Cassia State City and hadn't come back, Yate would even think that the other party was the main body.

Arthur looked around slightly.

The Frost Shadow of the countess should have been reserved, and the basis of its existence was to rely on the wizard tower——the magic circle of the castle to maintain it.

With an aristocratic smile on the face of the other party, he read the letter that Art handed her with restraint and elegance, the long greetings and the identity of Art written in the letter.

"Sir Silver Crow, how is brother Luo Feilun?"

She gracefully put away the letter and asked Art with a chuckle.

"I think the Marquis of Congobert has been doing quite well recently, quite leisurely."

With strength, Yate seemed more confident and relaxed. He shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and replied with humorous words:

"It would be even better if Lord Marquis could speed up the processing of the Chamber of Commerce's procurement procedures."

Listening to Art's words, Countess Fina chuckled a few times like a girl:
"Brother Luo Feilun is like this, and his subordinates are also quite laid-back."

After discussing some little habits of the Marquis of Congobert like a girl, Countess Fina blinked her beautiful eyes and asked curiously:
"Sir Claude, are you satisfied with the Cassia collar?"

She calmly replaced "Sir Silver Crow" with "Sir Crawford".

False smiles are the best skills for nobles besides spells, and Yate's fake smile skills are not inferior to the opponent's. He touched the handsome clothes he just bought:

"The style of clothing is completely different from that of Alan. I doubt that Alan has been isolated from the world for hundreds of years. I have never seen this kind of clothing in Alan."

Whether it's real thoughts or fake expressions, it shows that he is very satisfied.

"The women's clothing is also the same. The style of clothing is much better than the taste of the Allen Kingdom. They seem to be a bit conservative. Whether it is their long skirts or embellished tassels, they are quite beautiful."

As a qualified wizard aristocrat, Fina is also very fluent in handling such innocuous topics with little real meaning:
"Sir Cloredo, your taste is better than many people's."

After receiving Yate's praise, she also responded with a sentence, and then continued:
"However, as a wizard, a powerhouse of the first level of the apocalypse, it is best to wear the emblem of the level, lest some low-sighted pariahs have their ideas on you."

Fina said slightly apologetically:
"Because of the devil warlocks, Cassia has just experienced a wave of monsters, and the order has not been fully restored. Although the church and the mercenary guild are still looking for them, there are a few devil warlocks that have not been caught. These warlocks attack wizards from time to time. "

The leader of these devil warlocks has been killed by a paladin she teamed up with the Holy See, but not all the remaining devil warlocks have been caught.

Their strength is high.

If you don't wear an identity badge to show your strength, you may become the target of an attack.

A high-level attack on a wizard at the level of apocalypse is basically seeking death, but those devil warlocks who can summon devils at the level of apocalypse are more or less dangerous.

"Devil Warlock?"

Hearing this, Art frowned.

When he hears about the devil, Art can't help but think of some chubby lunatic.

The other party is keen to trouble the Son of Sorrow and the Son of the Pseudo-Time, and Art is also very interested in this guy who has attacked him several times.

If given the chance, Art would definitely snap him off.

And
This is indeed a good opportunity.

In the Kingdom of Allen, the Duke of Rose has assigned the Labyrinth Castle to him by default, and he also bought a piece of land from the Marquis of Congobert as the site of the Crow Chamber of Commerce, but...
Now that he wants to develop in the Glory Continent, he needs to establish a stronghold in the Glory Continent.

He needs a territory.

He has considered a lot about the choice of territory, such as the Arabella Empire, because Master Edgeworth is the blue-robed sage of the Arabella Empire. It should be good if he chooses there, but it is a bit far away. In a short time, He won't pass yet.

Also, he doesn't want to put all his eggs in one basket.

He considered several locations, using "hidden", "safe", "dangerous", "lack of resources", and "with bird monsters" as the selection criteria.

If resources are scarce and dangerous, few people will think about it, and the concealment is relatively high.

Within the Bassatona Empire, there are Misty Mountains, Terra Volcano, White Reef Islands, and Barlow's Pillar.

The Kesu Desert to the west of the Basatona Empire.

Port of the Dead, northeast of the Bassatona Empire and south of the Arabella Empire.

The Twisted Forest of Lansu Kingdom.

These are the main considerations, and there are some other alternative locations, but they are not the highest priority.

The Starr Empire and the Deira Empire, Yate has not considered it for the time being, the Starr Empire has a lot of prophecy wizards, in case these prophecy wizards are interested in him.
The Deira Empire is located on another continent to the east of the Arabella Empire, so let’s not consider it for now.

Misty Mountains - the uninhabited mountains where the Misty Ravens are entrenched, the dense fog of the mind, a large number of Misty Ravens, even if it is the second level of the apocalypse, it will be dangerous to fall into the fog of the mind.

As for resources, there have been strong people exploring here a long time ago, and there are no resources at all in the Misty Mountains.

Not even many minerals.

Even because of the scarcity of resources, many of the arakkoa living in the Misty Mountains voluntarily left the Misty Mountains and went to the outside world.

Art's servant Gore is one of them.

For others, this place is like a chicken rib, not even as good as a chicken rib, but for Art, this is a good place.

The fog of mind has no effect on him at all, and the fog of mind all over the mountains can instead become a natural means of protection after he establishes a stronghold here.

More importantly, the Misty Crowman living in the Misty Mountains.

Not as regular troops, but as researchers.

The intelligence level of the misty arakkoa is quite high, even higher than that of human spellcasters.

The White Reef Islands are located in the sea to the east of the Basatona Empire. The islands have little land and resources, and there are many monsters, especially bird monsters, and because there are many small islands, they are relatively scattered, so they are easier to hide.

Terra Volcano is located in the state of Allen in the south of the Bassatona Empire, on the edge of the territory of the Duke of Allen, that is, the king of the Allen Kingdom. There are few resources and it is relatively dangerous, but there are many fire-attributed birds like the Flame Vulture. monsters.

The Pillar of Baro is a particularly high mountain in the Baro state in the south of Bassatona, twice as high as Mount Everest in the previous life——

Its altitude is close to [-] meters.

There are many birds living on it.

By the way, according to Yate's understanding, it is not the highest mountain. The highest mountain is a mountain in the Starr Empire, where many prophecy wizards gather.

Also known as the "Pillars of the Starry Sky".

The Twisted Forest is a place on the edge of the Lansu Kingdom. Although the resources are not considered scarce, it is very dangerous because there are often gaps in the Phantom Realm and mutations there, but the Phantom Realm is dangerous for Yate. Much less, not even dangerous.

The Great Kesu Desert is to the west of Basatona. It is extremely barren and rarely inhabited.

Port of the Undead, as the name suggests, has a lot of undead, and it is the place where the largest necromancers occupy. Relatively speaking, it is also a relatively good stronghold.

Yate tried his best to choose some fringe places as his strongholds, avoiding prosperous territories, and avoiding a lot of trouble.

If there is no accident, his body will stay in the Phantom Realm or Shadow Realm for a long time, the residence of the Glory Plane, which is not particularly important.

However, if possible, he would like to join the Bassatona Empire.

The Kingdom of Allen is actually a subsidiary principality of the Bassa Empire. It is okay to say that Art is now a member of the Bassatona Empire, but there are always some differences.

For future plans, he needs the status of an actual, blue-blood lord.

It doesn't matter if you start as a knight noble, all he needs is the status of "Lord of the Bassatona Empire", as for the size.
If the places mentioned before have become his strongholds, does the size of the territory mean much?

Thinking of this, Art couldn't help but glance at the beautiful countess in front of him:

"Your Excellency Fina, do you still need manpower for your territory?"
