Aibok took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Lord Saville, and explained at the same time: "This is the list of collaborators I found related to the death of Fairbus. There are many rats in the territory!
"
"That's all?" Epps glanced at it, and it didn't differ much from what he knew.
"No, these are just lightly hidden, and some are not exposed!" As he said, Aibo pointed to the last name on the list and asked, "What did you think of when you saw this name?"
"Harvey?" Epps couldn't remember who this person was for a moment, but it was obvious that he knew there was such a person, "Who is Harvey?"
[Biquge www.sbiquge.me] "He is a steward of the Territory Branch of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce. This is just a small role, but the problem is the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce. I found a batch of grain in their warehouse, and also
Some have even been sent to Conefira."
"What?!"
Lord Epps was very shocked. He had never received this news before, "Have you checked it yourself?"
"Yes, I personally checked it." Aibo also knew the seriousness of the matter. The Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce was naturally not worth mentioning, but it would not be so simple to steal food from Savile so blatantly.
"snort!"
An unknown fire ignited in Lord Epps's heart. Although he knew that Fairbos's incident most likely had nothing to do with the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, but they jumped out so impatiently, did they really think that he would turn a blind eye?
The basis of Savile Territory's prosperity is its positioning as a food supply center and material transit center for the border trade city of Connefila.
Putting aside these, the Saville Territory is just an ordinary territory. If you dare to stretch your hand in the grain trade, you will have the consciousness to be cut off.
In addition, it is extremely uneconomical to bypass the territory to provide food to Conifera from the perspective of merchants making profits, but they still do it, so there must be greater interests driving them, or someone is threatening them.
!
Epps thought about the Angli Territory behind the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce. After several generations of inheritance, the current lord is a great mage. He seems powerful, but in fact he is not as good as the Saville Territory.
Just because in the core area of the empire, spellcasters prefer to live in the territory of the Great Arcanist, or Severington. There are too few opportunities and insufficient attraction in other places, and the development of the territory is quite limited.
That's why various chambers of commerce emerged. If there were no chambers of commerce to make money, the lords would run away.
Epps does not think that such an Angry Territory poses a threat to the territory. Even the Archmage is no match for him when he comes to the Saville Territory.
"Ai Bok, please lead someone to seize the grain first. If anyone dares to resist, arrest them together and wait for me to come back to deal with it."
In terms of the core interests of the territory, Lord Epps did not hesitate at all. Compared to the possible threat to the princess, the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce was really nothing.
If it weren't for the possible involvement of the mastermind behind the scenes, Eberck wouldn't even mention it to him at this time. Thinking like this, Epps immediately cast a spell to sign a formal order on a piece of parchment, leaving his personal mark and handing it over.
Gave it to Abby.
"One more thing, before I come back, no one from the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce will let them leave the East District."
"Yes." Aiboike took the order document, nodded solemnly, and added, "Shan asked me to tell you that the materials needed to open up the Green Pearl Forest are ready."
"Well, thank you for your hard work. If there is nothing else, I have to leave. The Austrian Law Federation has reminded me twice!"
"Okay, be careful."
Now almost everything in the territory is tied to Epps. If something happens to him, Ai Burke can't imagine what kind of chaos the territory will be in.
"I know, in addition to meeting Lord Auron this time, I am also planning to go to that gentleman's territory, the Arcane Competition. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if no one comes?"
cough--
Aiboke is a little embarrassed. He is just a new arcanist. It is really difficult to say that holding an arcane competition in his name is something that can be said.
Just for the sake of territory, he had to agree to Epps' proposal. Fortunately, there is nothing new under the sun. Even ordinary people can hold arcane competitions, and the most they will do is be laughed at.
…
After sending Lord Epps away, Aiboike immediately teleported to the military camp to notify Keyan, and the two of them personally led the team to deal with the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce.
On the other side, Lord Epps, who had just walked out of the portal of the Arcane Federation headquarters, was stopped by a young mage before he could even take two steps.
"Master Epps, the tutor has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me."
With that said, the young mage led Epps out of the teleportation room. After several twists and turns, Epps finally met the target of his trip - Archmage Auron.
"Lord Savile, we finally meet!"
Contrary to Epps' expectations, the Archmage, instead of blaming him for Fairbus's death, looked kind and even a little over-enthusiastic.
Am I so indispensable to Her Royal Highness the Princess?
A thought flashed through Epps' mind, but was immediately rejected, "Sir Ohlon, last time you invited me, I didn't have time until recently. I'm very sorry."
"Really?" An ioun stone suspended above Archmage Aulon's head made a crisp buzzing sound, and suddenly changed its trajectory. The Archmage's face seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Just come. I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Although the Archmage had a friendly attitude, Epps was very cautious about the gap between the Archmage and ordinary mages, and did not dare to answer the conversation casually. He could only follow the topic and asked: "Last time, Your Excellency Auron talked about the glory of the ancestors, I don't know.
What means?"
Archmage Auron did not answer the question directly, but changed the subject, "Eps, what do you think of the Empire?"
How is the Empire? Epps's heart is full of questions. This question should not be asked to him. He is just a small lord. He is just a question from the Archmage, but he has to answer, "The Empire is getting stronger day by day!"
"Haha, do you know how long it has been since the empire opened up new territories?"
"This—" Epps knew, but couldn't say it.
"It's been nearly a hundred years!" Archmage Auron said for him, "The last pioneering territory was the Saville Territory. Do you still feel that the empire is getting stronger and stronger?"
Immediately afterwards, the Archmage continued, "Seventy years ago, the Nese Scroll was stolen, but until today, we know where it is, but we can't get it back. How long will it take to get stronger day by day?"
Epps was silent. The theft of the Nese scroll was the deepest pain for Nese people.
70 years ago, any Netherese person, even just a farmer, could come to the Arcane Union in Severton to read the Nese scrolls. However, since one of the sets was stolen, the conditions for reading the Nese scrolls have not been that simple.
Already.
First of all, the reader's spellcasting level is required to be at least level 10. Secondly, the reader must have a recommendation from a Grand Arcanist or multiple Archmages. Otherwise, you will have to wait until you become a Archmage before reading it.
Epps has never read the Nese Scroll. If he can read the Nese Scroll in advance, he might be able to successfully advance to the level of Arcanist.
