Chapter 163: News from Winterfell
After the announcement that Princess Twilight is in control of the kingdom, it seems that there will be no more important matters to be announced or discussed by the entire noble group.
The little princess herself was unaware of Rysel's affairs, and the nobles were thinking about getting home as soon as possible to rest for a while—and with the time spent stuck in the road, the meeting of the nobles was already longer than twice.
With the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess, these nobles who were all lords in the eyes of the common people dispersed in a hurry. Although it is an exaggeration to describe it, it is true that the wide square in front of the palace tower has almost become a vegetable market.
"The nobles of the kingdom now, how can they be so vulgar......" The little princess frowned, obviously she was full of dissatisfaction with these nobles of the kingdom now.
Aine was a little helpless, and the little princess's map cannon also included him. In any case, although he lost his fiefdom, Ain's title also has the status of heir to a hereditary baron.
After coughing lightly, the little princess also seemed to find that the young mage beside her was also the heir to a noble title.
"Ain, wait for me to make a warrant for the Council of Nobles to allow you to inherit the Baron's title......" The little princess smiled at Aine when all the nobles in the square were not paying attention to the castle tower.
This girl, who is said to have Yaling blood, has two small tiger teeth that are slightly exposed when she unfolds her smile, which reflects the girl's playfulness and cuteness. Aine looked at the little princess's smile and even began to be a little crazy.
"I know, Mr. Ain, you and these nobles. It's not the same. After noticing Ain's gaze. The little princess tilted her head playfully. With his own gaze, he met Ain's eyes.
"Yes......" Aine realized that he seemed to be distracted, and after retracting his gaze, he replied very relentlessly.
Indeed, the gaze just now was a little excessive.
After retracting his gaze, Ain made an excuse to do it, in fact, he wanted to do it himself.
"I think. Should go to the Spellcaster Alliance to see if my butler has sent me any news. ”
The little princess nodded.
When Ain was about to turn around and leave, Master Rutherford smiled and said to Ain: "You can come to the palace to find me later, I guess I'll be staying in the palace for a while." ”
……
Aine was confused by the sentence he had left for Master Rutherford, and after guessing for a long time, it was probably related to the refugees he had brought back to Winterfell from Fort Sophie and the White Mountain Range.
But what exactly happened, Ain really couldn't guess until he received the summons from Winterfell.
The Spellcaster's Alliance of King Thoran is more imposing than the one in Winterfell.
But Ain was wondering if he should show the badge he used when he was in Winterfell.
Although the badge does not record the time when the badge was issued and the strength of the bearer, if you investigate it, it is easy to conclude that Ain's path to the advancement of arcane attainments during this period is almost unreasonable. It's two months. It's like riding a rocket from the first ring to the fourth ring, who to change. I think it's a little too unbelievable.
But for Ain, he always felt that the time he had been in contact with the fourth layer of the magic net was a little longer.
Because he didn't use the arcane theory of the current Fourth Age for arcane training, he had been using the simplest and most efficient methods since he left Grean's teachings.
After thinking about it, and feeling that it would be easier to get noticed by re-applying for the badge, Ain decided to use the previous badge anyway.
"Good morning, Your Excellency."
"Good morning." Perhaps because there was no shortage of mage apprentices in Wang Du Therland, there were some mage apprentices sitting at the counters.
Of course, they are different from those attendants - after basically adopting the alchemy equipment, the counter staff in the Spellcaster Alliance are not very busy, and only occasionally deal with news from other areas, which also gives these mage apprentices the opportunity to learn.
As a result, many apprentices were reluctant to receive a salary in gold coins, which could be converted into access to the Coalition Library, or to receive guidance from some official mage who needed material benefits.
"I'd like to check if anyone has used the Alliance's communication network to communicate to me." Ain handed over the badge, after all, there was no badge to prove it, how could this mage apprentice know who Ain was.
When the mage apprentice heard Ain's words, he hurriedly put down the magic book in his hand and took the badge that Ain handed over.
Soon, a crystal containing the spell information was handed over to Ain's hand - it was also considered for secrecy, and it was still convenient to read this crystal that would directly erase the message once, of course, after reading the information inside, the crystal needed to be returned.
Aine read the message in the crystal with a smile, and although the content of the message was a bit rambling, the story was not so complicated.
Many commoners expressed their willingness to become the lord's lords who led them to their lives. In fact, although Ain was a baron, he had no on-the-ground territory, only five hereditary estates. When the old steward Marrington repeatedly said that he could not accept the subjects without a fief, the group of commoners chose to voluntarily become the hired farmers of the manor......
As for the veterans, they were inspired by Ain's enthusiasm and formed a team of adventurers themselves...... As for the head of the troupe, it was Sam, the fat bard who sang completely out of tune.
After digesting the news completely, Aine returned the crystal in his hand.
"Thank you." Habitually, the mage expressed his gratitude to the mage apprentice, in fact, this gratitude was not needed, starting with the Arcanist Empire, it was a matter of course for the apprentice to serve the official mage. If you are a formal apprentice to a mage, it is your duty to meet the needs of your teacher.
"It's a pity that none of those people in Winterfell have the status of mages, otherwise he could have replied to them through the teleportation network of the Spellcaster Alliance." Ain sighed as he walked out of the halls of the Spellcaster Alliance.
It was at this time that he remembered the meaning of the inexplicable words that Master Rutherford had said before......
"It seems that Master Rutherford knows what they did......"
Ain smiled slightly, but it was also perfectly plausible - what Harden had done was, in a way, in the shadows of the kingdom's laws. (To be continued......)
