"What does Mr. Auron mean-" Epps asked cautiously.
"It's not what I mean, but what Her Royal Highness the Princess means." Speaking of the princess, Archmage Aulon's face was filled with admiration, "She wants the empire to regain its enterprising spirit, open up the wilderness, and thrive."
"..."
Epps understood it as soon as he heard it, but what did this matter have to do with him? Could it be that if he opened up the Green Bead Forest, he would lead others to open up?
How can this be!
Developing the Green Pearl Forest is not starting from scratch, but we already have the foundation of Savile Territory, so we just need to open up some areas to the south.
And what about others?
No need to ask, Epps also knows that the development that Archmage Aulon mentioned must mean going to the wilderness and starting from scratch. Most of the land in the core area of the empire has been carved up.
If you want to become a new lord here, unless you become a Grand Arcanist, the Severnton Council and the Arcane Federation may coordinate to carve out part of the land, but the new lord will also have to pay a high price.
Exploring the wilderness is too cumbersome and even dangerous. Historically, great arcane masters have died in pioneering. Therefore, most people's choice is to join a mature territory, or directly join the Arcane Federation.
The fact that there has been no new development in the past hundred years also proves this point.
Even if Her Royal Highness the Princess has a lofty reputation and is a Grand Arcanist herself, can she still be forced to do so if others are not willing?
It can be said that those who have the desire to develop now are almost only a few pioneering territories far away from the core areas of the empire, including the Saville Territory.
Maybe only when the core area of the empire is completely saturated will there be a new wave of development, Epps thought irresponsibly.
He didn't want to get involved with a group of great arcanists, but now he couldn't help but refuse, "What does Your Highness want me to do?"
"Someone is interested in your territory!" Archmage Auron said suddenly.
Epps was shocked for a moment, but he quickly realized that what Archmage Auron was talking about was probably not the princess, but the mastermind behind the recent series of events in the territory.
This kind of thing has never happened in the past hundred years since the Savile Territory was opened. He had not thought about it before, but now that he thought about it, it was indeed the case.
The Saville Territory is now comparable to most territories in the core region of the empire, and is even more prosperous.
The development south of Savile Territory is not difficult. The most difficult orc tribe has been defeated, and subsequent development is only a matter of time.
Once the Green Pearl Forest and the area to Langshan Mountain are developed, and the relationship with Conifera City is added, the territory will become even stronger. This is an interest that even a great arcanist cannot ignore.
Thinking of this, Epps broke into a cold sweat and asked quickly: "What does Her Majesty want me to do?"
This time, Epps showed no resistance at all and was willing to do whatever he wanted to do as a princess!
A trace of satisfaction flashed in Archmage Auron's eyes. He is worthy of being a descendant of the Grand Arcanist Savile. "Her Royal Highness the Princess will not ask you to do anything. On the contrary, she will also provide help for your further development."
Even though he knew it was impossible to do nothing at all, Epps was now determined to hug the princess, so how could he have any objections!
The lack of requests would make Epps uneasy, "Your Excellency Auron, no matter what Her Royal Highness the Princess needs me to do, Epps is always at my disposal."
"Okay. I suddenly remembered that there is something that Her Royal Highness wants you to do."
"Speaking!"
Archmage Aulon smiled and said, "Lord Savile, there is no need to be so formal. Your Highness the Princess just wants you to accept a title at the right time. You don't need to do anything else."
"Title? What title?" Epps asked confused.
"Ask me what title, I don't know, but there will be news soon." After speaking, Archmage Aulon added, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, many people will accept this title by then.
"
After saying this, Epps became even more confused, but facing a great mage, he did not dare to ask again and just nodded in agreement.
If this was just the case, then not only was he not punished this time, but he also got benefits. Epps felt that all of this was very dreamy.
After discussing the details of the development with Archmage Aulon for a while, Epps informed Aiboike before leaving, asking him to spread the news about the upcoming arcane competition in the territory.
Despite the help of Her Royal Highness, Epps was not prepared to change the original plan, so he took advantage of the celebration and arcane competition to announce the relationship between the territory and the princess.
When leaving, Epps used the portal of the Arcane Federation to go to the territory of his grandfather's teacher, the great arcanist Iolum.
…
At the same time, in the old town of Severnton, under the Giles Tower, in the palace not far away.
Princess Shia and a white-haired old man sat opposite each other, with a magic projection between them, in which the previous meeting between Archmage Auron and Lord Epps was shown.
"Teacher, I'm a little uneasy."
Princess Shia waved her hand to cancel the projection in front of her. The last thing that appeared before the projection disappeared was the image of Archmage Aulon respectfully saluting in the direction of her sight.
"Xia, you have done a great job. At your age, I am still a young boy!" the old man said with a smile.
"But, I took away the totem pole and caused trouble for the leader of Saville. When the Grand Arcanist of Saville returns, will it be——"
"Don't worry, Savile is not a stingy person. If something unexpected happens, I will ask my old friend to persuade him. Besides, even Gustav has agreed now. This matter is no longer one person, but two people."
It can be stopped."
The old man put away his smile and had a complicated expression on his face. He looked at the most talented student in front of him, feeling worried, proud, and expectant at the same time.
Ascension to the Gods - something that all great arcanists dare to think about but may not necessarily dare to do, nor may they have the strength to do, but Shia did it.
"Teacher, when Savile comes back, I will apologize to him, but - no one can stop me." Siya said firmly, her will reached the extreme, and a faint blue arcane radiance even radiated from her pupils.
.
Looking at this scene, the white-haired old man once again sighed at Xia's outstanding arcane talent.
…
On the other side, Chateau was in a good mood after receiving investment from Mrs. Patty, but he could be even better.
According to the contract, every time his spellcasting level increases by one level, his monthly salary will increase by one level, which is 100 gold coins. By then, he will have 200 gold coins every month.
He can't wait to go to the Mage Guild to get the level certification.
Although Xia Duo only knows one level 1 spell now, the [Water Control] from the bloodline can still pass the certification, but reaching level 2 is his current limit.
If you want to pass the level 3 certification, you must master any 2nd level spell. Before that, even if you have mastered thousands of 1st level spells, it will not count.
Xia Duo is still a little regretful about this, because with his bloodline ability [Water Control] and water-related magic, he can concoct thousands of them at any time, it just depends on his imagination.
In the words of the earth, this is called everything that changes and remains true to its origins.
However, apart from a few typical examples, these similar magics have little value.
