I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

After talking about the manor owners who own large fields, the next topic naturally came to Archmage Andasi, who was incompatible with Viscount Norbert, and the Adventurer's Guild he led.

Lawrence: "Although Mage Andassi is also the president of the Mage Union, Velveer's mages are really not very good." Excellent mages are talented and rich to pile up. In a remote and poor soil like Velveer Here, it is difficult to grow strong mage seedlings.

But adventurers are different. Backed by natural gold mining fields like the Moon Mountains, the annual tax payment of the Velvet Adventurer's Union can even account for more than half of Velvet's total income.

"And our mercenary guild has always been managed by the adventurer's guild," Lawrence said, "After all, Velveer's qualified mercenaries are Hall."

There is no such saying in this world that people who are not of our race will have different hearts, but there are indeed such prejudices, and it is especially serious in the upper class. A union leader from a different race will cause more troubles for the mercenary union here. trouble.

Mission entrustment may be reduced, the lord may collect higher mercenary taxes, and what's more terrible is that the lord's immunity may be restricted or even withdrawn.Generally speaking, considering that the work of mercenaries and adventurers is often on the edge of the law, the lord will give mercenaries and adventurers certain special permission to allow them to act cheaply while "working", which is the so-called immunity of the lord .

Of course, only "work".

Therefore, before performing missions or going out on expeditions, adventurers and mercenaries must register with the corresponding union and obtain a work certificate with additional lord immunity, in order to ensure that their "jobs" will not send them to the guillotine.

Outsiders don't want Hall's mercenary to take over the position, and Hall's mercenary has already seen through this set, so they simply don't get involved in this mess from the beginning, acquiescing that Velveer's mercenary union also belongs to Andasi The Archmage is in charge. With the character of the Archmage Andasi, they will not benefit but will not harm.

From Lawrence's point of view, the Adventurer's Guild chose Archmage Andasi to serve as the president of the Adventurer's Guild in Velvet, perhaps because of his commoner background and tough character, and his strength is enough to control the situation. It can guarantee the current stable situation of the Nuggets in the Moon Mountains.

As for going up against Viscount Norbert, it was unexpected. Fortunately, no matter how fierce the conflict was, Archmage Andasi confronted Viscount Norbert head-on, and did not rely on his own strength to play any tricks behind his back.

Viscount Noble is a low-level warrior, and he really can't fight with one hand of Archmage Andersi.

"Ah... seems like a very powerful mage of magic." Lucien leaned his chin on the pillow, his tone full of young people's yearning for the strong.

"Yes, the Archmage Andasi is very powerful." Lawrence could fully understand the boy's shining eyes at the moment, "He was once the best adventurer in the empire, he defeated the griffin, and cut off the head of the water dragon snake. The head is still in the lobby of the Adventurer's Guild."

"Besides, he is also a permanent member of the Mage Guild, and he has a very profound research on thunder and fire magic. I heard that if he hadn't been invited to be the president of the guild, he would have been invited to be the professor of magic at Fenry Weddell College."

Fenry Wedell is the surname of the royal family. As the name suggests, Fenry Wedell College is a college sponsored by the royal family, and it is especially famous in magic research.

Lucien's eyes brightened, and he asked expectantly, "Can I meet him?"

Lawrence laughed and coaxed a child, "Don't worry, he will come to visit you."

In any case, as the president of the Adventurer's Guild, Archmage Andasi must come to meet Lucien, the new lord, in person, and ask Lucien to stamp the family crest of "Lord Velvid" on the lord's immunity document.

That's right, the emblems of griffins and white roses that can be seen everywhere in Lucien's team. Not surprisingly, they will also be the prototype of the family emblem of the future "Vilvider family".

Given that this emblem was chosen by Lucien's cheap father himself, and the griffin is a symbol of the royal family, when Lucien saw it for the first time, he reasonably doubted whether the white rose represented the one that cheap father loved.

Geez, I hope not.

Otherwise it would be disgustingly romantic.

But Lucien is really, really interested in Archmage Andasi.

Not only is he interested, but the bear child in his head is full of curiosity about new toys.

So Lucien grabbed Lawrence to learn more about the mage, and learned that the mage came from a blacksmith family in a remote village in the northern province, and he stumbled onto the mage's path with the sponsorship of the local lord.

He also knew that Archmage Andasi was poor and poor, and that an excellent mage was made of countless money, and that Archmage Andasi's illustrious exploits as an adventurer were all to earn enough money to provide him with the resources to practice magic.

This is often the case for talented people with no family background. If they don't want to become vassals for resources and rely on others, becoming adventurers or mercenaries is the fastest and most legitimate way for them to obtain resources.

Of course, whether it is a warrior or a mage, the huge demand for cultivation requires them to desperately complete tasks and go deep into dangerous situations to barely meet them. If there is an extra hobby of burning money to study magic like Archmage Andasi, reality will squeeze out all of them. possible potential.

These are the new force for the future powerhouses of this world, and even many talented people of noble origin will register themselves as adventurers, deliberately forcing themselves into more embarrassing and difficult situations, in order to sharpen themselves in actual combat.

Someone fell on the way.

Others saw the light.

Again, Andasi is a mage.

A powerful mage who can be called a genius.

A mage who was defined as "non-existent" and "daydreaming" in Lucien's original world.

In a trance, Lucien could hear the brat lying next to his ear and whispering to him, the allure was second only to the first time he met Issy.

Which boy has never dreamed of Dragon Quest, a plumber saving a princess, no matter how undisciplined a child is, when he wakes up, he looks forward to blowing a fireball.

It's a pity that reality is always extremely skinny.

After being confirmed to have no talent, the nearest mage Lucien can come into contact with is Brother Cheap, followed by William's guards—both of which have a higher priority than "fresh toys", called Bear The child could only bite his fingers and drool listlessly.

But Mr. Archmage, who has never seen it before, is different. The fresh toy that is about to be delivered to his door evokes the sad past that children will remember firmly.

How to play with fresh toys?

Bear kids don't know how to play house with a doll.

He just wanted to dismantle his hands and feet, open his belly, and see how every blood vessel was connected to the heart, and see how the magic that he was judged absolutely impossible to possess flowed through the scalding blood.

……

……Do not.

No.

This is not right.

Lucien grabbed the crazy thoughts that spread and took root in his head. He should beat the disobedient brat, and he remembered how he capsized the boat in his previous life.

It is too dangerous to harbor malice against a strong man of the archmage level. Even if it is not impossible to complete this matter with a desperate fight, he has no reason to pay a huge price to satisfy the unreasonable troubles in his head.

So just hold up the big stick and tell the brat to shut up.

Still wrapped in his thick blanket, Lucien greeted the officiant Eleanor who was invited to be a guest at Rolles Manor.

He is ill, attacking the brat is like hurting the enemy one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred. If the brat shut up, he also starts to get sick because of the hellish overthinking. He has a cough and a fever, and he is completely dizzy. There are ready reasons to ask the priest of the church to come and pray.

In the first week of his lord's arrival in Velvid, he finally invited his first guest.

Priest Eleanor wiped the back of Lucien's hands and forehead with warm ointment, and chanted prayers for him to pray for health. Soft white light shone on his fingertips and lightly brushed Lucien's reddened cheeks. .

"May the light protect you." He said, wearing a pure white sacrificial robe, with a kind expression and compassionate eyes, making people unconsciously want to rely on talking in exchange for a little comfort.

The young duke also seemed to have no resistance to this majestic way, unconsciously tugging at the sleeve of the officiant Irene, his eyes dim like a lost lamb.

"Master Priest, how can I escape this never-ending pain?" He coughed lowly, his blue eyes covered with mist, "Please guide me."

"The God of Light will see every believer with good intentions and shine on everyone." Priest Elaine lowered his eyes to hide the dark light in his eyes, and persuaded in a gentle voice, "As long as you do more good deeds and don't harbor evil thoughts, the light will come to you." to guide you forward."

As for how to do this good deed...

In such a cold winter, there are so many poor people in your territory who don't have enough food or clothing. Isn't it the time for you as a lord to stand up?

If it is not clear enough, money and food are vulgar things that should not be talked about by nobles, but they are also essential things for people to survive in the world. It happened that he knew several generous and kind manor owners, such as Viscount Norbert, For example, Baron Lefe, for example...Although their life is also tight and tax payment is a bit stretched, but they are willing to tighten their belts and take out precious food reserves to tide over the difficulties with everyone, all you need is a small sum of money Money will do--

"You're right," Lucien held the hand of Priest Elaine, staring directly at Priest Elaine's face, "We all want to tide over the difficulties together..."

"At my banquet, please be sure to introduce those kind gentlemen for me."

"Is it... Viscount Norbert?" Lucien recalled Eleanor's words, "I believe you, he must be a respectable and reliable gentleman."

As he spoke, he showed a childish and trance-like smile, and kissed the anointed fingertips of Priest Elaine.

For a moment, Priest Eleanor admitted that he was shaken. He couldn't help but feel uneasy because he accepted a bribe from Viscount Norbert, and because he tricked such a simple child into a trap with his rhetoric.

This is a pure and white lamb of the gods, untouched by the filth and cruelty of power.

God of light is above.
