Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Keller Town, Baron Manor.

The signing ceremony for the surrender of the Barony of Keller to the Earl of Stewart is currently being held. Probably because he was frightened by what happened yesterday, Baron Keller's spirit is not very good even now. But even if you put this matter aside, Baron Keller's condition as a complete loser will definitely not be better.

Because they surrendered after entering the castle, all the territory and all the wealth were the spoils of Earl Stewart. If Baron Keller and his family could not pay the ransom, they would be demoted as slaves.

It is true that wars between nobles are about rules, but the premise is that you have to understand the current affairs. It is already too late to shout surrender with a knife on your neck.

The priest of the God of Order had already drawn up the agreement, which was in the standard format. Baron Keller mechanically signed and stamped it, and all he could see in his eyes was decadence.

Again, although he was not the one who caused the current situation, he was the one who signed it. From now on, his name will be on the family's pillar of shame.

Finally, the priest of the God of Order asked: "Baron Keller, how are you going to pay the ransom for you and your family?"

A baron's ransom is 10,000 gold coins, and his family's total is 10,000 gold coins. If Baron Keller has assets outside the territory that can be sold to pay the ransom, he can also borrow them from other nobles if he has the means.

As long as he can pay the ransom, he will retain his title, but without the land, he will become a hereditary honorary baron.

Baron Keller said weakly: "I still have a deposit at the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce."

As mentioned before, the gold coin merchants affiliated to the Goddess of Wealth will raise funds from the nobles and pay fixed interest, and then use the money to lend. This money cannot be regarded as loot, and Baron Keller can use it to pay the ransom.

So Christine arranged for a knight to go to Ljubljana with Baron Keller to withdraw money.

I have to admit that the Keller family has indeed made a lot of money from excavating ruins over the years. In addition to the 20,000 gold coins, they also paid a ransom of 6,000 gold coins to four knights plus ancestral armor, as well as Master Yos and several apprentices. The ransom was fourteen thousand gold coins.

It should be noted here that these four knights helped the lord resist, and their fiefdom was also occupied by Christine. If they sign an agreement and change their allegiance to her, the territory will naturally be returned to them. Now that they have been redeemed by Baron Keller, these territories are spoils of war and belong to Christine.

Mages in the Keller Territory do not have fiefs, because they are all trained by Master Gottfried, and the relationship is between student and teacher rather than loyalty.

As for Baron Keller, although there is no way to provide new fiefdoms to these four knights, they will still gain their allegiance as long as they pay annuities in accordance with regulations. Of course, the annuity should be 1.5 times the average income of the knight fief.

Christine received a total of a castle with a mage tower, a town, and six villages (including four knights). Of course, it was no longer possible to call it Baron Keller, so it was renamed Sandra Land.

Due to the existence of the mage tower, in the future, if anything happens to Shandra, he can directly write to Christine through the communication circle.

Although at least a mage apprentice is required to control it, this is not a problem. Just let Olivia go to the Ljubljana City Mage Guild to recruit a few. With the mage tower still there, are you worried that no one will come?

What's even more convenient is that if something happens, Christine can teleport from the Dominaria Mage Tower to Frank City, then transfer to Vienna, the capital of the Habsburg Kingdom, and finally arrive at Sandra Territory. The whole journey does not take more than an hour. Although the price is a little expensive, it can indeed play an emergency role at critical moments.

In addition to the ransom of 40,000 yuan, Christine also received various collections from the Keller family, worth 110,000 gold coins. The most valuable ones were loaded into trucks and transported back to Stewart Territory, and the rest were sold directly to the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce for a harvest of 60,000 gold coins.

Of course, the most valuable thing is the complete set of advanced experimental equipment and numerous collections of books in the mage tower.

The former was worth 50,000 gold coins. Kristen was not in a hurry to buy it because she was not at a high level. Now she got a set for nothing and packed it up and sent it back to the territory. The latter has been slowly collected by a mage family over hundreds of years. There are all the books and materials needed from a mage apprentice to a ninth-level mage, and there are also some from the tenth level to the master level. It can be said that this makes Duo Ming The Mage Tower in Naria City lives up to its name.

.

Shandra Manor.

"Olivier" who was lying on the bed suddenly opened her eyes.

"Hahaha, I finally came out. I finally broke this damn seal."

"Olivia" rolled over and got out of bed, and an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on her face.

"Oh my God, this body is actually that of a man! How is this possible!"

"Olivia" hurriedly came to the mirror and took a closer look. She had to face the fact in front of her. No matter how beautiful the person was, this was a man.

Her name is Monica Bellucci, a mage who lived more than 2,000 years ago. She was sealed into an ancient magic weapon by her teacher, a demigod mage, because she studied soul spells from the ancient Netherese Magic Empire. The magical gold coin of Netheril was later taken away by the Keller family when they were excavating the ruins.

By Baron Keller's generation, the seal has been broken over the years, giving Monica Bellucci a chance to escape. But the years have also worn away her soul power. Although she has recovered some of it through the slow absorption of free magic energy, someone must touch this gold coin before she can possess it.

But the problem is that this gold coin is usually kept in a strictly protected family warehouse with other treasures. Even if someone from the Keller family occasionally comes in to deposit and withdraw items, they will not touch a gold coin.

It wasn't until a few days ago that the Earl of Stuart defeated the Baron of Keller, and Olivia was sent to count the treasures and valuables in the warehouse, did Monica Bellucci have the opportunity to possess her.

The reason why it took a few days for her to "wake up" was because although the possession was successful, she did not dare to directly devour Olivia's soul and could only slowly imprison her. After all, the situation is unclear now. Who knows if acting rashly will cause any trouble. After being imprisoned for so long, he finally came out, so he must act carefully.

"Hey, let's just be a man. I'll just change it when I find a chance."

What else can we do now that things have come to this, we can only do this for now.

"Let me find someone to ask about the situation outside now."

A little spell allowed Monica Bellucci to get everything she wanted to know from her maid.

But there is also good news. The new owner here, Count Kristen Stewart, is not only one of the most beautiful women in the mainland, but is also only a fifth-level mage.

"That's right! My new body is hers."
