Chapter 477: Independence (3)

In the evening, Orin and an Imperial official from Durogar approached Li Xuan.

"Your Excellency Li Xuan, this is Congressman Pauline Enns, and he has brought news from Congress. After Olin bowed to Li Xuan, he introduced a man who was over half a hundred years old beside him.

Li Xuan nodded, and looked at the councillor calmly.

"It is an honour to meet you, Great Dragon Dominator, and on behalf of King Fred Christian and the Imperial Parliament, I extend my warmest greetings. Councillor Pauline Ens also bowed to Li Xuan.

"The Parliament has approved Your Excellency's request that the city of Carroston be granted to Your Excellency, and that a region be set aside as Your domain. The exact extent of the territory is in this map. Pauline Enns took a map from his attendant and opened it.

Li Xuan looked at the map.

The map is centered around the city of Caroston and is marked with a large territory in the northern and eastern part of the city.

"Your Excellency, this area is where the empire divides it, and I don't know if you have different views or needs about this area. Pauline Ens asked cautiously.

Li Xuan looked at the area on the map seriously, and roughly thought about how big this area was, if the scale of this map was not very exaggerated or there was no problem with the map, it would indeed seem to be a large area. The whole area is probably a fan-shaped area, the radius of the fan is more than 50 kilometers, and the short radius is also 40 kilometers, on the whole, it is already a very, very large area, if it is encircled and becomes an independent city, in terms of territorial area, it is very sufficient. If the plan is added to the scope of the Junen Empire, it is completely able to enclose a circular area with a radius of about 40~50 kilometers, and such a large territory is very considerable.

After thinking about it, Li Xuan nodded, and said to Pauline Ens, "I have no other views or needs, such a territory can meet my needs, when you return to Durogar, greet the king of the Arissanret Empire for me, I will keep my promise, and establish diplomatic relations with the Arissanite Empire, live in peace, and provide shelter if necessary." ”

Li Xuan's words made Pauline Ens very excited, but he still forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and then said, "Thank you very much for your understanding, Your Excellency Li Xuan, the Empire's Magic Guild has a request, hoping to add an additional 100 places to Your Excellency's quota for cultivating magicians for the Empire......"

"It's not a difficult thing to do, I agree, increase the number of places to 200 people. Li Xuan directly agreed.

Pauline Ens had obviously guessed that Li Xuan would agree, and while he was relieved, his face smiled again, and said, "In addition to bringing maps and parliamentary affairs this time, His Majesty the King has also prepared some gifts for Your Excellency, this is a list of gifts, please take a look." ”

Pauline Ens bowed and handed over a roll of parchment.

Li Xuan took the parchment, opened it and glanced at it, a very rich series of gifts, a considerable amount of gold coins, several treasures, as well as books and paintings.

"Very rich gifts, thank you for me, the king, there is not much I can give back to him, I can only prepare some magic potions as gifts. Li Xuan told Pauline Ens that he was not interested in these gifts, but in response to his kindness, he still needed to show his attitude.

"Of course, I'm sure His Majesty the King will be pleased to see your magic potion. Pauline Ens looked happy.

Half a month later, Bobilis's father, Wilder Lot, came to Carroston and brought many documents and a map of the same way, which included a large area of the Jun'en Empire into Li Xuan's territory, and Li Xuan had a very large territory from then on, spanning the two empires of Arisrit and Jun'en.

In a separate building at Maple Leaf Manor, Wilder met Quinn, and when he saw him again after a long time, he was clearly a little stunned.

"Mistress Quinn......" Wilder's expression was a little unnatural.

Quinn smiled, "Wilder, your expression tells me that you seem very surprised right now. ”

Wilder nodded, he was indeed very surprised, the Quinn in front of him was almost a different person than before, his already aging appearance became even older, the original curly short hair, all shaved clean, and even thinner.

"This is a great place, Wilder, and the last piece of advice I can give you is to arrange for more of the children of the House of Lot to come over and stay here. Quinn said slowly.

"In that case, the rumors are true, Lord Quinn, do you really want to stay here?" Wilder's expression was a little complicated, with Quinn's current status and influence in Jun's Empire, he really couldn't understand why Quinn wanted to stay here, although the dragon tower and the walls looked very spectacular, this magician was very powerful, but so what?

Quinn smiled and sighed, "Wilder, you know what? I used to be confident that Durrell didn't know anything about power, but ...... Now, I really understand that I don't know anything about power either. ”

Wilder was slightly stunned, it seemed that Quinn had made his final choice.

"I'll spend a lot of time following in his footsteps, this plane is too small and too small, whether it's a human, an elf, an undead, or an angel in Cloudsdale, it's too small, too short. Quinn's tone was a little complicated, mixed with the unknown, unwillingness, confusion, firmness and some different beliefs.

"Mistress Quinn, I wonder what happened to you...... Wilder began to think about the situation that the Rod family was about to face after the loss of Quinn, and there was some apprehension.

"Wilder, do you know where we are?" asked Quinn slowly.

"This is Carroston. Wilder replied earnestly.

Quinn shook his head, "He told me that we are standing on a huge planet, and this huge planet is in the midst of an unknown and darkness, this unknown darkness, there are countless planets the same size as this huge planet, and here is as small as a gravel in the desert......"

Wilder's mouth opened, a little hard to imagine what Quinn was talking about.

"The reason why we are able to stand on the planet is because there is a huge force in the center of this planet that attracts us, so we can stand. In that vast and unknown darkness, no one knows what kind of power there is. All life is only a blink of an eye under the power of time. Too small, too small......" Quinn muttered.

"This is the power that I have been striving for, the power of knowledge, I thought I was a scholar of the past and the present, and now I realize that I am a baby who knows nothing about knowledge, and this is where I can find the truth, the real truth, Wilder. ”
