Boom

Suddenly, a tremor sounded on the empty land.

Rhett cast an earthshaking spell.

Immediately afterwards, three sand wolves fell from mid-air in a three-legged tripod position, and under Rhett's control, they fought each other.

Trampling the surrounding land, gradually stirring up the yellow and brown mixed dust.

An hour later.

Rhett exhaled, paused his training, used his mental power to condense a stone pillar, sat cross-legged on it, meditated on the spot, and recovered his mental strength.

The operation of the furnace meditation method allowed Rhett's mental power to quickly improve.

After a while, when he felt that his mind was full of spiritual energy, he stopped meditating.

Suddenly, Rhett felt something in his heart, stood up, stretched out his arms, and cleared his mind.

Try to sense the earth elements around you.

But after a while.

He opened his eyes, with suspicion in his eyes: "Nothing?"

His mind couldn't help but recall a piece of content he saw in the simulation a few days ago. After taming the sand elves, he had a special understanding of the earth element.

"What kind of special feeling is it that can make me realize a glimpse of the mysterious outline..." Rhett thought silently, and he could no longer suppress his curiosity about the mystery.

He tried to release his mental power again, trying to sense the earth elements floating around, trying to find the mysterious law and trajectory.

final.

Rhett sighed helplessly.

“Alas, it still doesn’t work. I’m only a fifth-level magician now, not a peerless genius.

It is really a fantasy to think that you can realize the mysteries that only the Saint Realm can realize under normal circumstances by your own strength. "

Then, he fell into deep thought: "However, with the help of the sand elves as a medium, I can understand the mysteries. It seems that... the elves are indeed a special condensation of the laws of this world.

Even if it is not, it must have an extremely special connection with the world!"

Lei Te's eyes sparkled as he looked up at the sky.

He gained a deeper understanding of the elves and this world.

"So, can the snow elf bring mysterious insights to Ruilai?" Rhett touched his chin and thought to himself.

It's hard to say, I'm afraid. He feels that not all elves can bring insights of a mysterious level.

Elves related to elements are definitely a necessary condition, but not necessarily a sufficient condition.

Take the blood elves and bear elves that Rhett knows now, for example. They have nothing to do with earth, fire, wind, water, light or darkness, and certainly cannot bring any mysterious insights.

“So, elves also have different levels?

Or am I just too ignorant to have a glimpse of the secrets of the elves?"

Just as Rhett was lost in thought.

A strange wave came from behind.

He was instantly alert, turned around quickly, and was about to condense a rock armor technique to wrap himself.

But when he saw the face of the person who came, Rhett was stunned where he was, and even the half-condensed Rock Armor Technique faded away like the tide.

Leiter took a deep breath, his face showing a bit of admiration: "Grand Duke Blue Diamond, Lord Augustus, welcome!"

"Rock Armor? Just as I heard, Rhett, you took a bottle of blood potion." The man whom Rhett called the Blue Diamond Duke, riding a fifth-order crystal-winged bird, hovered near the ground and exclaimed.

Rhett had never seen the appearance of Grand Duke Blue Diamond before, he had only heard of him from others. His full name was Augustus Blue Diamond.

The deep blue eyes, fair skin, and tall stature completely match the person in front of him.

Combined with what he knew from the simulation, as well as the aura as deep as the abyss in front of him, and the completely unfathomable strength, he could immediately guess the identity! "Chiying." The light crystal bird of Grand Duke Blue Diamond made a strange and soft sound.

Rhett had never heard of a bird's call with this pronunciation before. He took a good look at the Crystal-Winged Bird, which had the potential for high-level bloodline: its entire body was covered with feathers with leaf textures, like thin transistors, its neck was as slender as a swan, its beak was like a duck, and its eyes were as bright as two big light bulbs.

Although the colors are bright, the overall combination looks quite discordant.

As a fifth-level monster, its wingspan is only three meters long, so it is not huge.

Looking at the light-winged bird combing its feathers, although it looked a little ugly, a hint of envy flashed in Rhett's eyes.

After all, it is one of the few light-type monsters that has healing magic. It can be said that whether it is a knight or a magician, having it is equivalent to mastering a mobile health pack.

Grand Duke Blue Diamond had a smile on his face and said, "I'm sure you can easily guess the purpose of my visit."

Leiter hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it because of the promotion to earl?"

"That's right, since there are only two of us here, I won't waste my time nagging you.

Your promotion to earl has been approved by the royal family.

Of course, the prerequisite is that your fiefdom is limited to the southwest border.

That is, it is impossible to move to other areas of the kingdom.

But I think that this has no effect on you...right?" Augustus looked straight at Rhett, his eyes as deep as the ocean.

"Well, that's true." Lei Te nodded. He had already made a development plan, and he might not be willing to move somewhere else now.

“Haha, that’s good. I’m here this time to follow the procedure and perform the knighthood ceremony on you.” Grand Duke Blue Diamond rolled his eyes slightly, looking left and right at the lonely plain, and said: “But I think that the ceremony is all nonsense.

There is no one around at the moment, so there is no need to care about the process. "

The corner of Rhett's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that he was worthy of being the Grand Duke, and he spoke with confidence!

Although, he also thought it made sense...

Then, Grand Duke Blue Diamond added, fearing misunderstanding, "And as far as I know, no one cares about the process of conferring the titles of many barons, viscounts, and earls, so you don't have to feel any psychological burden..."

Ahem. Rhett coughed twice, his expression unchanged as he said, "Then let's do as Lord Augustus wishes."

"Yeah." Augustus nodded with satisfaction.

It’s not that he despises the royal family, but God knows how many earl promotion ceremonies he has handled in the nearly 100 years since he became the Grand Duke!

In the coastal areas of Donglan, even the promotion to Viscount had to be granted by him.

The monotonous procedures and oaths made him want to vomit.

Gradually, he invented this "easy" method...

"The earl's territory has much more freedom, a vast area, and is not very rigid in its demarcation." The Blue Diamond Grand Duke looked around for a few times and said with a hint of regret:

"It's a pity that the territory around you is sparsely populated and the land is barren. No matter how large the area is, I'm afraid the profit won't be that high."

"Oh?" Grand Duke Blue Diamond glanced at Leiter calmly: "Could it be that you have changed your mind and want to move to another area?"

As he spoke, he began to think in his mind that if the other party was determined to relocate the territory, he could help. Based on the other party's training speed in the past two years, he could be called a little genius - if he could be tied to the family chariot, it would definitely be a good thing.

When Grand Duke Blue Diamond was thinking about making friends with this earth mage, Leiter spoke up:

“That’s not the case. I’m not interested in other places. It’s good to stay in this southwest border for the time being.

I want to divide the territory and choose a new territory near the Dark Eagle Branch."

After listening to Leiter's application, Grand Duke Blue Diamond's eyes flashed with surprise, and he muttered:

"Dividing the territory? Although... the requirements are quite high, it is not a difficult task for you in this southwestern border area. It happens to be within the scope of the enfeoffment this time.

If it were another area, it wouldn’t be so easy.”

Lei Te's face lit up with joy after hearing this: "Then I'll have to trouble Lord Augustus! Shall we set off right away to the Dark Eagle Branch to mark out the territory?"

Augustus shook his head and said, "That's not necessary."

The words fell.

Suddenly, a map appeared out of thin air in Augustus's hand.

This scene shocked Leiter greatly. He opened his mouth and asked subconsciously: "Space equipment?"

Then, his gaze shifted and quickly stopped at the ordinary bronze ring on the middle finger.

I thought to myself: That must be the space ring. It has only existed in legends in the past and is extremely precious.

He had only been seen a few times at the canyon defense line.

Augustus looked at Leiter's reaction, seemingly unsurprised, and said with a smile: "Yes, this is a space device, and the volume inside is only about one cubic meter.

Even though it’s small, it’s a treasure bestowed by the king upon me when I was promoted to Grand Duke for my outstanding contributions!

These things are not top secret, and given your current position, it is okay to tell you."

"Thanks for your answer!" Rhett was very jealous, and his eyes stayed on the other party's space ring for a long time.

That is a treasure that involves the power of space!

The mobile warehouse that can store items freely has extremely important strategic value.

As for the fact that he could receive such a reward after becoming a Grand Duke, Rhett was surprised and envious, but also very understanding.

After all, at the level of Grand Duke, the kingdom's high-end combat power sometimes involves secrets or carries secret items - there is always a risk in carrying them with you at all times.

Having an extra space ring can naturally save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"You're welcome. If you have the opportunity to be promoted to Grand Duke in the future, you will receive the same treatment." Augustus said with a smile.

"Okay, being promoted to Grand Duke means getting a space ring 100%." ​​Rhett took note of it secretly!

"This is a map of the kingdom, a topographic map of the southwestern border area. You just need to mark the area you like." Augustus said casually, "The boundaries of the earl's territory are not as clear as those of the viscount and baron.

After all, the kingdom does not allow two earldoms to border closely, and there must be at least a buffer zone of several hundred kilometers.

Therefore, as long as it does not exceed the designated range of 100 kilometers, it can be adjusted flexibly. "

Lei Te nodded, obviously already aware of this rule.

He took the drawing handed to him by Augustus and found that the precision of this drawing was even better than the map brought by Deputy Commander Ambiru.

With a quick glance, Rhett saw the area of ​​Hanjing Lake, and even the edge of the lake was roughly consistent.

"Wow, what an accurate map! This is so convenient!" Rhett couldn't help but exclaim.

Then he thought for a moment and put pen to paper, first circling the Hanjing Lake and the surrounding area of ​​dozens of kilometers.

Then, a strip of area extended on the north and south sides of Hanbinghu, which was somewhat similar to the Dark Eagle branch being regarded as a garden, and his territory was a relatively thick fence.

Augustus also agreed and said, "This map is indeed of high quality. It is really impossible for ordinary people to make such an accurate map.

This is all thanks to the royal family's Grand Mage Karina, who surveyed the entire country in her early years and is a master painter herself, who provided the kingdom with such a high-quality map."

Rhett was carefully marking out his territory. Although he had already thought of the scope, he was still very slow in his movements out of caution.

After hearing the information that Augustus inadvertently revealed, Rhett secretly took note of it - maybe he would need it in the future?

At this moment, he deeply realized that he is no longer the same person as before.

The dual improvement in strength and status has raised the level of the people and things he can come into contact with.

After more than ten minutes, Rhett silently put away the pen, breathed a sigh of relief, and returned the map to Augustus.

"A branch of the Dark Eagle?" Augustus exclaimed softly. He had not peeked at where Rhett was writing just now, but when he looked at it now, he saw that a new territory had been added around a pattern of mountains.

"Are you sure you want to divide the territory among the Dark Eagle branch?" Augustus touched his chin, his eyes full of surprise.

Leiter smiled modestly: “Yes, this is the territory I have been thinking of for a long time.

Thank you, Lord Augustus."

"Well... okay." Augustus smacked his lips, "Although the kingdom does not prohibit the establishment of territories around the Magic Beast Mountains, I want to give you a friendly reminder.

The various branches of the Monster Mountain Range are more or less connected to each other, and maybe... a powerful monster will come here one day.

If there is not enough defense, the consequences can be imagined.

In the past… there were nobles who had this intention, but most of them ended up in a very miserable way.”

"Thank you, Lord Augustus, for your reminder!" Lei Te said in a loud voice, "But I believe that I have the ability to deal with any risks and challenges!"

Seeing this, Augustus shrugged and said no more.

"Now that the fiefdom has been decided, I have to give you one more reminder."

"Speak, Lord Augustus."

“In the past, there were only Count Nero and Count Mida on this southwestern border, but now there is you, the third Count, and a fifth-level magician.

Therefore, you should shoulder the responsibility for the safety of the rear, and if there is a major disturbance here in the future, you will not be blamed for it."

Rhett had prepared himself mentally in advance - if you want to wear the crown, you must first bear its weight.

In other words, the greater the rights you exercise, the greater the responsibilities you must bear.

There is always a price to pay for enjoying the benefits.
