Dudley showed his hand, and several of the mages around him all had expressions of "That's really the case" on their faces. They weren't amazed at how skilled Dudley was with this fireball, but for something else.

In the process of casting the spell on Durina, they did not feel the fluctuations of the arcane energy that should have been stored in Zài, but instead sensed that there was a special power converging in Durina's body—the power of the gods.

Naturally, Gordon was aware of this unusual change. He walked up to Dalina and couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart: "The ...... you just used Is it magic? ”

"Your Lord." Dulina bowed to Gordon. And several other onlookers of the Arcane Federation mages also nodded to the Earl of the Haiwen Peninsula.

"I'm sorry I couldn't say hello to you in the first place." Gordon apologized.

"It's okay, everyone is a mage, and I know that after the thirst for knowledge and curiosity comes up, I can't suppress the feeling at all." The eldest middle-aged woman among the mages of the Arcane Federation smiled and said, "We are also interested in Mr. Dalina's situation, so why don't we study it together." ”

This female mage has a round and chubby face, and if you take off your mage robe, she looks like an amiable aunt on the street.

Gordon nodded, no longer polite, and asked Durina, "Whose priest are you now?" ”

Durina said, "My lord, I don't know if I used a divine technique just now. After all, no priest of any god has been able to use the arcane art of fireball. But it was only with the help of Lord Ion's power that I was able to perform the ...... Well, it's better to call it magic. ”

After some explanation, Dulina slowly told Sù Gordon the ins and outs of the matter.

Previously, Lady Dinah and Vigna had spread the teachings of their respective gods on the Hyven Peninsula, and Gordon, as a believer in a god of knowledge, was not very religious, but not completely indifferent. He remembered Rob. Antelo University is an open school. The plan to popularize education and disseminate knowledge was decided to implement it on this peninsula.

However, because there were no decent people to do this, and Gordon himself was too busy, there was no substantial progress in the establishment of the school, and it was only handed over to Dudley to make preliminary preparations.

This mage is mediocre in strength. However, his brain is quite good, and he believes in the god of knowledge, Ion, so it is very suitable for him to handle paperwork.

The so-called clerical work is to organize and store the books and materials used for the compilation of teaching materials. Durina didn't complain about such a boring job, and even enjoyed himself a little. Not even dissatisfied with taking up time for meditation and spell practice.

Although Dulina's background is much better than that of ordinary commoners, he is only at the level of a small squire, and he is still far from the real aristocratic class. In the world of Telos, knowledge is often monopolized by the church and the aristocracy.

Because of his identity, Duria had access to books before. It's not too much, at best it's a popular reading book like "A Brief History of the Ferreton Empire", "Introduction to Spells", and "The Legend of Creation". So when he got a large number of books and materials handed over to him by Gordon, his heart was simply happy.

Although at the beginning Rob. Archduke Antelo only wanted to open a basic school for children up to the age of ten, but the books he prepared for the compilation of the textbooks were varied, rich in sources, and extremely informative.

Durina was almost stunned and immersed in the sea of books. The others in Seacliff Fort, including Gordon. They were busy with all kinds of things, so they didn't pay much attention to this mage who was studying hard in his room all day long.

As a result, last night, when Gordon led the fleet to besiege Black Iron City, Dulina heard a voice in his sleep...... When he woke up the next morning, he found himself with new strength.

According to Dalina, it was Ion, the god of knowledge, who was struck by the believer's exuberant desire for knowledge. So he was given divine powers and made him a priest.

It's not uncommon for a mage to be a part-time priest. As long as the faith is pious, it is approved by the gods. Being able to become a pastor has nothing to do with whether you have another profession or not.

It's just that the group of mages is more special, and it is more difficult to become a priest than others. The followers of the goddess of magic, Mistra, are all kinds of spellcasters, but there are very few priests born among them.

After all, it is difficult to convince a mage that there are other beings, more powerful than the supreme power of arcane.

What makes Durina special is that the magic he uses seems to be somewhat unique. He doesn't know any of the magic used by ordinary priests. Now all he has at his disposal are magic that are almost as effective as arcane.

The two three-ring "divine arts" he has mastered now are the addition technique and the fireball technique. Moreover, the other second-ring and first-ring divine techniques that rely on the divine power bestowed by Ion, depending on the actual effect, are also completely arcane.

But the essence that makes up the effects of these spells is still Ion's divine power.

The most obvious point is that when Dullina performed the fireball spell just now, there was no spell, no gestures, he just held a holy emblem in his hand, chanted the name of Ion, and completed the "spell".

When Dulina first got this power, he also felt a little confused, but when he was groping and practicing alone, he was seen by the mages of the Arcane Federation who came to Seacliff Castle as a guest, and everyone was very curious about Duri's spells that looked like magic and arcane, and they studied it one after another.

Then, there was the scene that Gordon saw.

After some discussion, everyone finally came to the conclusion that although the effect was almost no different from that of the arcane, it was indeed a divine technique that Dalina used.

As for why he used such a special divine skill, only Ion, the god of knowledge who gave Dudley the divine power, was clear.

For Gordon, however, Durina's change was a good thing. Now that he has become a serious priest, he will be able to help Gordon build a school and spread the teachings of Ion, the god of knowledge, on the Hybon Peninsula.

And a three-ring priest, whether it's a priest who uses traditional magic or an alternative like Dudley who can rub fireballs, is a boost for Gordon. Aside from himself, the Freeman family is indeed lacking in spellcasters these days. You can't let the mage apprentices under Douro who only know how to make potions carry the beams, right?

After Dudina's affairs were settled, Gordon and the group of mages from the Arcane Confederation. A formal self-introduction was made.

The chubby middle-aged female mage was named Winnie. She and a group of her companions came to the Haiwen Peninsula to set up an observatory on the island to monitor and study the fluctuations of source energy in nature.

The reason why the Arcane Federation has such an intention is precisely because of the source energy tide that was born on the peninsula last time. The Acanthus fédralis probably also knows that behind that source energy tide. It represents a more far-reaching significance, so it was decided to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to establish an observatory on the Haiwen Peninsula.

Winnie and her companions are typical academic mages who spend their days in the real room exploring the mysteries of energy and the world. Dig up all kinds of hidden knowledge. This kind of character who rarely causes trouble, Gordon naturally will not be unwelcome.

If an observatory could be set up, Winnie would be the person in charge. However, this time when she came to visit Gordon, the leader of the Arcane Federation was not her, but someone else.

After all, the Acantro-French Federation wanted to set up an observatory on the land of a Feretton lord, which involved a series of issues such as land rights, personnel authority, and so on. There must be someone of Gordon's stature to talk to.

"Count Hywen, we want to see the neighborhood for ourselves, you don't have to bother. Teacher, he's still waiting for you in the castle. You can discuss the establishment of the observatory with him in detail. ”

Seeing the curiosity and looking around of the group of mages, Gordon knew that they had arrived in a new place. I want to know the situation of this place urgently--flora and fauna, climate and environment, people and customs, geographical conditions, one qiē one qiē one qiē one qi Academic mages, many times, their curiosity and curiosity can be described as "instinct".

Gordon called for Quincy, who was familiar with the geography of the peninsula, to accompany him, and then returned to Seacliff Fort.

At this time, in the main drawing room in the castle. There are two important guests waiting for Gordon. One is Veronka, who controls the entire fleet of the Phoenix family. Phoenix. She is the younger sister of the current head of the Phoenix family and the aunt of Ji'er.

And the other person, who is not small, is one of the lords of the Nine Towers of the Arcane Federation.

The base camp of the Ahamcane Federation is located on the island of Jiuyao. A total of nine towers were built. There are eight towers, each representing the eight arcane schools. The owner of each tower is a nine-ring ** master. The ninth tower, which controls the other eight towers, belongs to the president of the Arcane Federation.

The Lord of the Nine Towers is the highest level of power in the entire Arcane Federation.

"A Lord of the Nine Towers actually came to see me in person, is the matter of setting up an observatory really important?" Gordon thought to himself and walked into the living room.

And Xie Ouna, who was sitting on pins and needles in the living room, hurriedly ran over.

As the mistress of the Freeman family, when Gordon leaves, Sheona naturally has to take care of the reception of guests. But this time, the two guests seemed to be a little unbearable even for her.

"Brother, it's good that you're here......" Sheona let out a sigh and stuck her tongue out playfully at Gordon, "If you come a little later, I'm afraid I'll be driven crazy by that Lady Veronka." She kept introducing me to men, and she was so annoyed. ”

"I know, what you want more than your husband now is a breakthrough in your swordsmanship, right?" Gordon scratched his sister's nose dotingly, "Actually, Ms. Veronka is so enthusiastic, I'm afraid she also wants to use the marriage relationship to strengthen the connection between our Freeman family and the Phoenix family." But don't worry, I won't say yes. ”

"Of course. Having my brother by my side is enough for me. Xie Ona nodded, then suddenly covered her mouth again, and said with a smile, "By the way, I'd better go and inform Bud in the kitchen and ask him to prepare a few more ribs." That ** master's appetite is really not small! ”

Gordon was suspicious of Xie Ona's words. But when he walked into the living room and saw what was going on inside, he was immediately relieved.

A large dog was sitting on the sand, munching on a meat bone, and its mouth was crunching and could be heard clearly throughout the hall.

But it's a bit rude to say he's a dog. Because this big dog has basically evolved a humanoid body and limbs, and is also wearing a blue mage robe.

Kobolds.

One of the nine highest-ranking people in power, one of the six largest spellcaster organizations in the whole country, is actually a kobold.

Gordon realizes this reality. I could hardly believe it, I felt like I was in the middle of an absurdist comedy.

The kobolds, a race of low intelligence, had an average intelligence of only eight in the Ancient Era, and it was already very rare for Cheng Dù, who could barely use simple language, to be able to give birth to a mage. What's more, this mage is also a powerhouse like the Lord of the Nine Towers of the Arcane Federation. It's incredible.

Compare this to this. If the platinum dragon god Bahamut suddenly came running and said that he had fallen in love with the five-colored dragon god Tiamat and wanted to marry her, Gordon would probably be more willing to believe it.

Seeing Gordon appear, the kobold mage elegantly wiped the grease stains on his hands with a napkin, and then walked over. Nodding to Gordon, "Count Hyperven, your food here is very good, I like it very much"

Gordon glanced at the other party's wagging dog tail and said secretly, "I can see it." ”

"Introduce myself, I'm Kimboth, from the Arcane Federation, and I control the Tower of Venidost."

When the Austrian Federation named the Nine Towers. The rules of the ancient dragon language are still followed. "The Tower of Venedost" translates to the lingua franca of the Tower of Spells.

This kobold seems to be a master of the school of spells.

In fact, when Gordon and Kimbos came face to face, they had already felt the strong arcane energy fluctuations emanating from each other. So although the other party's race was a bit strange, he didn't dare to show the slightest contempt and ridicule.

"Salute to you, mighty Lord of the Nine Towers." Gordon returned a mage salute.

Kimbos isn't the kind of person who likes to talk politely, either. After the two men sat down facing each other on the sand, they immediately got to the point.

"Count Hyperven. The last time you were born on the island, you must have experienced it clearly as a mage. According to the research of our Austrian Federation, I am afraid that this kind of source energy tide will occur again in the future, although the intensity is difficult to say, but the frequency of generation will definitely become more and more intensive. Therefore, after discussion, it was approved by the president. We decided to set up an observatory on the peninsula. ”

"I am a mage, and I welcome the Arcane Federation's academic research and exploration of the mysteries of the world." Gordon said.

But both sides understand. It's just a polite remark. So the conversation quickly turned to the specifics.

The Observatory of the Austrian Federation is to be set up in the Blackwater Swamp. Gordon checked the exact location on the map, and now it was far away from the magic fountain where he was going to build the Mage Tower, so he simply agreed.

And the Austro-French Federation in order to set up an observatory on the Hybon Peninsula, the conditions for Gordon were also very good. They will prioritize the procurement of supplies from the Haiwen Peninsula. In the entire headquarters of the Arcane Federation on Jiuyao Island, there were more than 50,000 full members, apprentices, mages who came to visit and exchange, various servants and assistants, and other residents of the island. This is the equivalent of a medium-sized city.

For Gordon, it is indeed a very good trade partner.

In addition to the necessities of life such as food and fruits, the real profits are the various precious plants that are produced in the primeval forests and swamps of the peninsula. In order to perform all kinds of arcane arts and alchemy, the mages on Jiuyao Island will not hesitate to take out gold coins from their pockets to buy these peninsula specialties.

In addition to stabilizing trade dealings, the Acanthus des Arcans is also preparing to confer on Gordon the title of "Honorary Member of the Acanthus Fédérallia". With this title, Gordon can also get certain discounts when he goes to the Austrian Federation.

However, this title is similar to the "lay disciple of Shaolin Temple". Maybe you can get some small benefits, but you want to use this to enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and learn the seventy-two stunts? No way.

This small discount is not too much of a concern for Gordon. The point is that he can rely on the establishment of an observatory to establish a relationship with the Austrian Federation, which is enough.

The matter was over, but the kobold mage had no intention of leaving the parlor.

In fact, Gordon also found it strange. With his status as a five-ring mage, even if he still has the title of Earl of Hywen, it is not worthy of a Lord of the Nine Towers to come to see him by boat in person.

Sure enough, after nibbling on two more newly baked ribs from the kitchen, which had just been brought to the study, and were still hot, Kimbos said: "Actually, I have two other purposes for coming to the Haiwen Peninsula this time. First, it was the acting president who came to take a look. What is the young man that Antelo is optimistic about. ”

Gordon had heard the Grand Duke mention before that he had some connection to the Austrian Federation. His subordinate Yoland. Dumick, which is why he traveled thousands of miles from Jiuyao Island to the Northland to serve him.

"So, what is your impression of me?" Gordon laughed.

"Confidential for the time being...... But your ribs are delicious. Jimbos smacked his lips and smiled mysteriously.

After eating another rib, the kobold mage suddenly quieted down and glanced at Veronka, who had stayed at the other end of the parlor and had not spoken. Phoenix.

The lady had been silently sorting through the various pieces of paper on the tea table, and did not join in the conversation between Gordon and Kimbos. And the matter of the two people about the establishment of the observatory is not a secret, so there is no evasion.

As if sensing that someone was watching him, Veronka said disapprovingly, "Leave me alone, you go on." When you're done talking, you bone-gnawing fellow, I'll talk to Count Hyperven again. ”
