The maid quickly sent the full box of elemental gems to the apprentice dormitory on the top floor.
These homeboys who are apprentices of mages don't have many hobbies on weekdays. Researching the essence of magic is their favorite job and hobby. Just like graduate students who love to study, they work extremely hard.
It's no wonder that he studies so hard and works hard like an ascetic monk.
In the world where the Enfarth Empire is located, it is a high-magic MOD world, the wind of war!
It can be called the world with the most difficult to get started in the riding and cutting MOD.
All kinds of spells, divine spells, innate skills, and various races and special monsters emerge in endlessly. Apprentices who have mastered spells and are basically far away from these alone are equal to low-level cannon fodder in that world.
If you don't work hard, it is tantamount to suicidal!
The Enfarth Empire is particularly forceful.
Even if it is a mage apprentice, it is absolutely impossible to become a master without receiving systematic training.
At that time, it was still called a trainee mage.
Only after learning all the general knowledge of spells can one be called a mage apprentice.
Therefore, it is possible to assist the instructor in performing spell experiments.
Otherwise, if you know nothing about spells, and you are hazy about the concepts and theories of spells, those mages or archmages who serve as mentors will probably be furious long ago, kicking all these mage apprentices out of the laboratory. Involve only trusted students.
Although the mage apprentice has the title of apprentice, he has already left the teacher.
Even on the battlefield, they have the power to protect themselves.
Now, it is obviously the right choice for Kant to let these master apprentices study and analyze the elemental gems. They also urgently need examples to analyze and study the magic rules of this world.
In the mage dormitory, there are currently 7 mage apprentices.
When they saw these elemental gems, their eyes immediately lit up.
There are all kinds of experimental equipment reserved in the dormitory, all of which are standard equipment of the Enfas Empire, which can directly conduct magic experiments, allowing these mage apprentices to immediately enter into hard research.
They are quite familiar with magic research and self-experimentation.
With the magic in the inspired elemental gems.
In the mage's dormitory, light yellow and light blue lights flashed from time to time in the windows inlaid with colored glass, which was extremely strange and mysterious. At the same time, accompanied by the faint space fluctuations, the 20 people stationed on the top floor next to them were shocked. The Vekia sharpshooters all looked this way involuntarily, with a bit of fear in their eyes.
Ability beyond the known, are all mysterious extraordinary power.
But it's on the 1st floor of the Executive Hall.
Time is passing, the sun has risen in the sky, and it will be in the middle immediately.
11:30.
The banquet in the governing hall began.
Those invited were not only Fatis and the others, but also the caravan leader Jocelyn, and two other caravan leaders belonging to Kant, as well as 10 Swadian knights who fought bravely in previous battles and made great achievements. and 10 Mamluks, as invited gentlemen.
Although the Swadian knights and Mamluks are soldiers, they are the nobles and gentlemen of the Kingdom of Swadia and the Sultanate of Sarande. They are not fully armed and wear armor, but they are elegant in casual clothes.
The banquet was very grand, and it could be regarded as the grandest among the noble banquets held by Kant.
Also invited were Borg and his old butler.
This is a farewell party.
Bundak and Rolf will lead the troops to their respective defense zones to take up their duties.
Borg will also leave at the same time.
His mission is to return to Eastshire as Kant's spy.
In the future, there will be a steady stream of help from the "Drehem" castle to send to this Borg, so that his family can tide over the difficulties, and at the same time develop his own power in the East County Territory, and provide various resources for Kant to intervene in the Principality of Lions in the future. A kind of secret information, or give necessary help.
In order to invest in Borg, the price Kant paid was not small.
5,000 large silver coins have been handed over to Borg.
At the same time, there is also a trade cooperation agreement signed by the two parties.
In Lion Principality, it is roughly estimated that the price is 20 big silver coins per bag of date palm candy. The price Kant sells to Borg is 10 big silver coins, which is equal to a 50% split. As for how Borg sells it in the future, it is up to him. Regarding the matter, Kant and the Sentinel Oasis did not restrict him too much. He only needs to convey some information during the monthly transaction.
However, when Kant sent spies into the Lion Principality or the East County Territory to develop dark forces, Borg had to help, otherwise the cooperation between the two parties would be automatically disbanded, and he and his family members would also be included in Kant's assassination list.
Under the temptation of interests and the threat of force, Borg had no choice but to cooperate.
His only choice is this one.
If he doesn't cooperate with Kant, the soldiers will definitely kill him.
In fact, even if Borg returned to the Principality of Lions, he would have to accept the reality that his family would go bankrupt and everyone would become poor with nothing, and that would be worse than death.
Borg simply chose to cooperate.
When I came to the Nalun Desert, I saw this castle on the sentry oasis.
Borg understood that he had found a new opportunity, and after seizing this opportunity in the cell, he no longer had the idea of being a spy for Viscount Wayne, and he had the confidence to let the family rise again!
Having mastered the extremely sweet candy bar trade, why did his family continue to decline and go bankrupt
Absolutely not!
After the banquet, Borg set off with Bundak and Rolf.
With his old butler, he is full of ambitions!
At the same time, he was astounded by the strength of Baron Kant, and he was even more sure of the cooperation in his heart. As for whether he would betray, and because Kant had warned him in advance that if he chose to betray, he would be assassinated by the whole family, he felt that he could not betray. bottom line.
This was a blatant threat, and Kant made no secret of his determination to assassinate anyone.
Berger also believed in the truth of Kant's words.
Just like now.
Manid and his caravan of 30 camels are heading to the Stone Pass for the salt trade.
There were 30 Sarande riders as guards.
And 10 riders are Borg's personal guards, who will follow him all the time, from the small road in the Sangwaya Mountains, around the rocky pass, and directly from the hidden mountain roads in the North County and East County, bypassing the eyeliner of the nobles. They escorted Borg's family, solved his future troubles, and served as watchers.
These 10 knight-level Salander riders, just relying on force, made Borg tremble in his heart, and he didn't dare to have the slightest thought of betrayal. After all, ordinary nobles don't have the money to recruit these powerful riders!
Before arriving at the post station, the two parties separated.
After all, there are many people around the post station. If spies find them, they still need to deal with these troubles.
Manid still followed the usual route to Jianshi Pass.
On the back of the dromedary camels are swollen bags of fine white salt, and each trade can bring back 2,000 large silver coins, or materials that are urgently needed in the various sentry oases.
This is an undisguised bright line.
At the same time, it is also a bright whistle that attracts many eyes.
However, any spies and businessmen who went to the post station and had a short rest for supplies could not get close to the camel caravan, because the 20 Salander riders would not be polite. He drew his sword, and went forward without fear, showing his powerful combat effectiveness as a level 4 cavalryman!
Ordinary merchants and guards can't compete with these Salander riders, not to mention that this is the desert area where riders are best at. If something unpleasant happens, it is purely seeking abuse.
Bundak is simple.
Escorted by 10 Mamluks to the village of "Aaron" on the outskirts of the Sanwaya Mountains.
When we got there, James was there to help with government affairs.
In fact Rolf's burden was heavy.
In order to complete the inspection mission arranged by Kant and avoid a large number of enemy infiltrations, he brought out a total of 140 desert robbers who had been recruited and newly recruited in the castle.
After going to the post station, I contacted the 40 original desert robbers. There were 180 people in total, which was almost equivalent to a medium-sized cavalry team, and they had strong combat effectiveness and were good at raiding in the desert.
In a relatively harsh environment, only these bandits form an army to patrol the desert.
And Kant worried that there might be stronger troops appearing.
He also specially arranged 50 Sarande riders for Rolf as the main force of the assault. If there are desert bandits and other enemies that the light cavalry cannot compete with, these heavy cavalry will charge directly and destroy any who dare to set foot in the desert and come to them. invaders of the territory.
After all, the nobles of the Lion Principality would never simply send spies. If they learned that the spies could not get close to the sentry oasis, it is estimated that various "thugs" forces appeared in the Nalun Desert.
These ferocious dogs raised in secret came in handy at this time.
Kant knew this well.
Although the desert bandits are all thugs, their equipment is poor and their numbers are relatively small.
Fighting against the evil forces from the Lion Principality, the consequences will not be one-sided, there will definitely be casualties, and even encounter enemies that cannot be dealt with.
If you encounter some shameless nobles and directly send troops to be armed as bandits, it will be even more difficult.
Therefore, the 50 Salander riders were very timely as support.
When everything is in order.
... ... ...
At dusk, the maids and peasant women had cleaned up the governing hall.
There are not many traces of the banquet.
A maid knocked on the door of Kant's room and reported: "My lord, the mages in the dormitory have discovered some secrets about elemental gems and spells, and I hope you can go and inspect their research results."
"Yeah." Kant nodded: "I see."
It's only afternoon.
He was still preparing to take a break, but he didn't expect the speed of research to be so fast.
Originally, Kant thought that it would take at least a few weeks for these mage apprentices to study and analyze the elemental gems, but now they have the results in less than 12 hours, which is really unexpected.
After getting dressed, the sleepiness from the lunch break also disappeared randomly.
Kant was going to have a look.
PS: It was updated yesterday. Locked the small black room, 15,000 words, the piss of this software is that the author can't get out until he finishes writing, and restarting is useless unless the system is reinstalled. I wrote 12,000 yesterday, and I just finished writing the remaining 3,000...I'm exhausted
