"Deal? It's funny. His Majesty the Emperor paced back to the sand with great interest, and then took a slow sip of milk tea with a very desert flavor before saying, "Say, I'll listen." ”
Gordon walked to the map, pointed to an area in the eastern part of the Far Frost Province, near the Cold Mist Mountain Range, adjacent to the Thunder Rock Province, and said, "Sheona has told me that you are going to give her this Andolotta region, for which I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the Freeman family. ”
Andorota is one of the richest areas in the Far Frost Province, with large tracts of fertile and flat arable land and a large silver mine with Mithril in it. It is definitely a great favor to canonize such a rich region to Sheona. Now this is just inside information, and when it is announced, I don't know how many nobles will envy and envy the good fortune of the Freeman family.
"The Angels of the Battlefield in Ferreton deserve this reward." The Emperor cocked his legs and waited for what Gordon had to say next.
"However, after discussing it with my sister, she is willing to give up this fief and merge it with mine......"
Before Gordon could finish speaking, His Majesty Trajan knew what the former was trying to say: "You want to exchange your sister's territory for the entire Hyven Peninsula to become a hereditary fief of the Freeman family?" ”
"Yes."
His Majesty the Emperor held his chin and stared at Gordon's eyes quietly, as if he wanted to see something from them.
Gordon did not dodge, and looked at the supreme ruler very frankly.
"I see." Suddenly, His Majesty Trajan nodded. "I agree. After the victory celebration, you will be the Count of Hyperven. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gordon is heartily grateful.
The Haiwen Peninsula has a full 100,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to an imperial province. A nobleman with such a large hereditary fiefdom. Absolutely unique in Ferreton. Even the three grand dukes of the empire are not as good as the three.
His Majesty the Emperor did not know how many conventions had been broken before agreeing to this unprecedented request. For Gordon, this is the best outcome.
Trajan. Anduin didn't know if his decision was good or bad. Perhaps this promising mage was bogged down in the mire after setting foot on the treacherous land of the Haiwen Peninsula, struggling in vain, and finally dying one day. Maybe he will be able to stand on his feet. Gradually unfolded and carefully managed, so that the Freeman family truly became a first-class aristocratic family in Ferredon.
Maybe...... This confident young man will surprise himself. Use the staff in your hand to sort out the chaotic and dangerous area, so that this area that has been a headache for the empire will become the ninth province that can really be controlled. Then, the empire will give birth to a powerful grand duke.
But where does the future hold? And who knows? Not even the gods. As the supreme ruler of the empire. Trajan. Anduin only needs to sit firmly on the platinum throne and keep an eye on the situation from afar.
He looked at the young mage in front of him, gradually reuniting with the scene from many years ago. At that time, a man surnamed Antello also made a deal with him, and then became the lord of the northern lands, guarding the northern frontier for decades until he gave his life......
History, sometimes really amazing coincidences.
"Do mages always like to trade? Although they are all spellcasters. But your way of thinking, I, a warlock, don't understand. ”
"Of course not." Gordon smiled and shook his head. "For example, I have a gift in my hand right now, and I am going to give it to you, but I don't plan to exchange it for anything."
"What is it?" Trajan's Majesty became interested, and his body, which had been leaning back in his chair, straightened up.
"An heir."
After Gordon said this shocking news, His Majesty the Emperor did not react excessively. He was just silent for a moment, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "It seems that all kinds of gossip news about the royal family has spread throughout the circle of Ferredon nobles. ”
Having fertility problems is definitely a very humiliating thing for a man. Gordon originally thought that His Majesty the Emperor would deny it, or find some excuse to prevaricate, or even be angry, but he didn't expect him to admit it directly with a little embarrassment.
"It's been a long time since I've been on the throne, and I haven't had a successor, and that's really something that makes people suspicious. Let's be honest, I can't get a woman pregnant, and in the final analysis, it's a blood problem. ”
Gordon had always heard that the Emperor could not give birth to offspring, for reasons that were unknown. Now that he has listened to the other party's own account, he can finally figure out the reason.
Trajan. Anduin was a warlock, and most likely a powerful golden dragon warlock.
A strong bloodline brings strong genes that are too much for the average woman's body to bear, so the genes of both sides cannot be combined to give birth to offspring. In the world of Telos, those Grand Arcanists, Legendary Warriors, and powerful people with Celestial or Dragon blood are all struggling to give birth.
Rob. The same goes for Grand Duke Antelo. As a legendary mage, he has many women who work hard every day, and he only has one daughter, Faria, and the Antello family is very rare. Especially later, he was cursed by black blood and completely lost his fertility, and even the pink spell couldn't make up for it. So even if the Grand Duke got the Pink Book, he just looked at it a few times, then put it away, and then was picked up by Gordon.
Fortunately, Trajan today. Although Anduin Xià had difficulty giving birth, he was at least in good health, and the pink spell was able to work on him.
However, although he longed to have children in order to consolidate the rule of the empire and reassure the nobles, he heard Gordon say that he could bring children for himself. Anduin, however, was not too excited, but seemed very calm.
Because, it seems so unreal.
Although he was very optimistic about Gordon, he also admired this mage who had reached the five-ring magic attainment at a young age. But His Majesty the Emperor did not believe that Gordon could do what many court mages, royal doctors, high priests, and great druid apothecaries could not do.
After all, Gordon was too young.
Gordon had actually anticipated the other party's attitude a long time ago. I do have a great lack of qualifications compared to those people.
"Your Majesty, I don't expect you to trust me right away. But we can do a test first. You can start by picking a couple to try out my spells. In addition, I have a corresponding manual on the principles of the spell, you can refer to other professionals to see if my method is feasible. ”
Trajan. Anduin's trusted Fritz. Ivy League Grand Druid. The Apothecary Master was a good friend of Archduke Antelo, whom Gordon had contacted before he came to the Imperial Capital. He promised to help Gordon lobby His Majesty the Emperor.
With this kind of preparation, Gordon believed that His Majesty the Emperor would not refuse.
Although there were still some doubts about Gordon's ability to use spells to bring offspring for himself, with the mentality of giving it a try, His Majesty the Emperor was still tempted.
"That's it. During this time in the imperial capital, you can prepare the pink spell you spoke of with peace of mind, and in your leisure time you can walk around, attend some banquets, and get acquainted with the noble circles of the entire empire. Then wait for the canonization at the celebration of victory. ”
"That's right." His Majesty the Emperor was about to let Gordon leave, when he suddenly remembered something, "At the victory celebration, your sister and Sheona will have a joust with Derlington, do you know?" ”
"I know."
When he was still in Blue Water City, Gordon got the news from the Platinum Daily.
It was a friendly match that set the mood for the whole celebration. What could be more than the joint efforts of two of the most dazzling young heroes born in the just-concluded Northland War to entertain the most important celebration of the fourth age of the Fredon Empire in 938?
Who is more powerful, the battlefield angel Sheona or the silver knight Drington, I believe that there are not a few Ferrettonians who are curious about this question and eager to get the answer.
Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor can also take this opportunity to divert the attention of the Feretton people, who were panicked by the war clouds brought about by the orc invasion not long ago, and calm people's hearts.
"So you know, there are quite a few people who have whispered in my ears that they hope to use this competition as an opportunity to promote the marriage of the Eisenstein family and the Freeman family."
Gordon looked slightly surprised, and then replied, "I don't know about that. He paused, and added: "Did anyone mention that you set up a lottery for this competition?" If Drington wins, my sister is going to marry him? ”
"You guessed it right. My Imperial Concubine Carol has been seizing the opportunity to mention this in my ear lately, and it seems that she has received a lot of benefits from the Eisensteins. His Majesty the Emperor smiled meaningfully, "If the marriage is successful, it will bring far more benefits to the Eisenstein family than to the empire, so it is no wonder that Drington is so enthusiastic." However, even if all the entanglements of interests are abandoned, purely from a man's point of view, no one will refuse a beauty like Xie Ona. ”
"His Majesty said this to me, and it seems that he did not accede to the request of the Earl of Derlington." Gordon's voice became muffled.
"Of course. I don't like to arbitrarily decide on young people's marriages just for the sake of profit, after all, when I was young, I ......" The Emperor suddenly sighed like an ordinary middle-aged man recalling the bitter love of his youth.
"I think so too. I'm not going to trade Sheona's happiness for anything. Her marriage was not a trophy of a joust. ”
"You're a good brother." Trajan. Anduin slapped the sand, "That's it." I will always be noncommittal about the Eisenstein family's request. In this way, the hopeful Silver Knight will surely work harder in the victory celebration and dedicate a wonderful battle to the people of Ferredon. ”
"Of course. Xie Ona will also go all out to make this competition remembered by everyone. Gordon seemed to have something to say.
Drington delusionally hoped that he would be able to win the highest honor in the victory celebration competition, and even get involved with Sheona. But he must not know that something awaits him ahead...... (To be continued......)
