"The empire's territory has stopped expanding for nearly a hundred years. The times are calling for a new generation of pioneers to open up new lands and territories with courage, perseverance, magic and swords."
Archmage Greta looked solemn, as if she had seen the advent of the era of great pioneering, "Todd, Shado, Butler, are you willing to accept the title of 'Pioneer' conferred by Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
this--
Something is wrong!
Although Xia Duo didn't know what the special meaning of the title "Pioneering" was, he knew that opening up new territories was not something a low-level mage like him could do.
The pioneer of Savile Territory was a great arcanist. He had enough connections, money, and influence to fool a large number of citizens into following him into the wilderness.
If there is not a lot of manpower and material resources, what will happen even if the pioneer is a great arcanist?
That’s not called pioneering, that’s called wild adventure!
The weak are not qualified, but if they are strong, they can directly join the Austrian Law Federation. Could it be that the Austrian Law Federation cannot even afford the salary of the strong?
Exploring the wilderness is not only time-consuming, but also labor-intensive. The only advantage is probably that you have an extra territory that can be completely autonomous!
But a strong person has enough life to waste, but Xia Duo doesn't! At least he doesn't see any indispensable benefit to opening up the wilderness now.
But the question is, can the Archmage refuse the request? Moreover, it is in front of so many people, and the other party represents Her Highness the Princess.
Don't miss the thighs, but be shocked to death by the leg hair!
"I do!" Todd has already agreed.
With someone taking the lead, Xia Duo was no longer so reluctant and immediately replied: "I am willing!"
Butler is no exception. Of course, Chateau estimates that he would not dare to make any exception.
"Very good!" Archmage Greta nodded with satisfaction, took out the documents, and handed the scepter to Xia Duo and the others, "I hope you will not disappoint my Lord!"
Xia Duo took over the document and the scepter, both of which were magic items - the document looked like a golden, flexible paper, which recorded Xia Duo's title of pioneer, as well as the rights and obligations of the pioneer.
The paper is densely filled with words, probably to eliminate ambiguity. As long as you pinch it a little harder, the Netherese words on the paper will turn into Elvish words.
The scepter is even more gorgeous. It is silver-white in color, with a blue gem inlaid on the top. The rod body and the gem are constantly vibrating the surrounding magic network, clearly telling the surrounding spellcasters -
Look! This is a good baby!
Xia Duo didn't have much time to look at the specific contents of the document and the function of the scepter. His heart was trembling right now!
Are we going to spend the rest of our lives in the wilderness?
Will the comfortable environment of the Mage Tower be gone forever?
Xia Duo was thinking pessimistically, when Lord Epps suddenly said: "Your Excellency Greta, this -"
"Don't worry! It won't affect your plan!" Greta waved her hand and said, "Just do whatever you want!"
"yes!"
…
Greta sat in the seat above again, but Lord Epps was a little uncomfortable. He knew that Her Royal Highness supported the development. He had mentioned it when he met Archmage Auron in Severton last time.
Archmage Aulon said that Her Royal Highness the Princess would give him a certain amount of support. Is this the kind of support she has now? Granting the title of "Pioneer" to the three winners?
When did the "Trailblazer" title become so cheap?
At that time, Archmage Auron also mentioned that he would accept a title at the right time. Epps originally thought that he would accept the title of "Pathfinder", but now it seems that this may not be the case.
But no matter what, since Archmage Greta just told him to do whatever he wants, Epps won't be polite to her.
To hold such a simplified version of the arcane competition, in addition to finding an opportunity to invite allies and backers to build up the momentum, it can deter enemies hiding in the dark and spying on the territory;
Another purpose is to recruit some potential new mages to cope with the upcoming development of the Green Pearl Forest.
Now that he has three more "Trailblazer" titles, the price he needs to pay may be higher.
While Lord Epps was thinking about how to recruit these foreign mages, he was waiting for the three of them to return to their original seats.
Next came the last highlight of the day. Lord Epps signaled, "Bishop Ambril!"
Bishop Ambril, who had received the news from the lord a long time ago, immediately stood up and came to the field, side by side with Lord Epps, facing south together.
Facing the largest number of ordinary people.
"People of the Savile Territory, today I would like to introduce to you the sole heir of the Savile Territory and your future master - Nia Savile!"
Bishop Ambril has a very high reputation in the Saville Territory, not only because of his excellent healing methods, but also because he has served as the judge of the territory for a long time in the past.
Known for justice, kindness, and majesty.
In the eyes of most ordinary citizens, if the lord who has not been seen for many years may lie, it is absolutely impossible for this loyal servant of the Lord of Glory to lie.
In other words, the territory really has an heir!
Everyone was ecstatic at first, but then they became suspicious of the female heir. However, no one dared to question it, but expressed it in silence.
But Ambril seemed not to notice at all, and continued to introduce Niya, from Niya's birth, growth, various experiences, to her recent participation in the Orc War, and the most important thing——
Niya is a level 8 mage!
After hearing this introduction, the citizens were still a little confused. Even those who had stayed in the mage tower did not know much about the official mage's spellcasting level.
After all, they are only apprentices at best, and most of them cannot even squeeze into the threshold of casting spells!
Opposite Shado, the expressions of the mages from the Iolum territory are wonderful, especially the new mages in the pure white tower.
Some of them are younger than Niya, but most of them are about the same age as Niya, all in their early twenties, but Niya is already an intermediate mage, and they——
Even the high-level mage opposite was moved. A mid-level mage in his early twenties was a very rare genius even in the core area of the empire.
As for the members of the Tower of Time on Xia Duo's side, there weren't many surprises. In fact, when Niya finally appeared with the lord, everyone had already speculated on her identity.
As for Niya's strength, they have been in the same mage tower for a long time, and they have become accustomed to it.
…
Bishop Ambril's introduction continued, and Lord Epps waved to Niya, who was still sitting under the statue of the Grand Arcanist.
When Niya walked to the midfield, Lord Epps and Bishop Ambril automatically made way for Niya, making her face the people directly. Then it was time to watch Niya's performance!
