As a teacher, the better the disciples you teach, the more gratifying and happy you will naturally feel. What's more, Messer is not the kind of person who is narrow-minded and good at jealousy.

"That's all for this cultivation, it's best to try to enter the world of consciousness by yourself every few days after you go back, every mage has their own differences in this aspect of cultivation, as a teacher, I can only guide you in the general direction, and all other aspects will depend on your own exploration!"

"In addition, you have to strengthen your alchemy, I heard about the auction you held. You have studied very well in this area, although the foundation is not solid, but I am very pleased to be able to go off the beaten track and invent a lot of unique things. However, if you want to really go on in the field of alchemy, it is not enough to have wonderful ideas, but also to keep trying and experimenting, so that you can finally achieve something. ”

The first time he cultivated, Donald achieved an unexpected degree. It seems that his talent in the will of the soul is amazing, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than imagination and vision, of course, with the help provided by the Book of Truth, otherwise Donald's main consciousness would not have awakened so quickly.

To be honest, it was only now that Donald was extremely glad that he was able to worship Messer's teacher. In the past, I only knew if there were any teachers, but with the advantages of the classics and the Book of Truth that I had collected, even if I was not much inferior to those silver mages, I was very sure that I would become a gold rank in the future.

Now I know that I am still far from the path of a mage!

The cultivation of a mage is the first level in the bronze stage, and if there is no correct guidance from the teacher, then like many second- and third-rate mages, they will take a detour when they break through the bronze rank, and the road to the future will not only be narrow and rugged, but also almost cut off the road to gold.

This is the sorrow of not having an orthodox lineage. Except for the three bronze pinnacles of Chris, who have reached the level of first-class mages with the guidance of Messer, and have the hope of advancing to the golden realm in the future, the others have stopped at the bronze level.

It's not that Messer is selfish and self-cherishing, but those mages have taken detours since they were young, and their qualifications are not outstanding, even if the real inheritance is placed in front of them, few of them can have the perseverance to give up their current strength and choose to rebuild, and the situation of these mages is complicated, and their character is not worthy of full trust.

Unlike the three Chris, it can be said that he grew up watching them since childhood, and they know each other better, and they are also teachers and friends with each other, so they will give them some guidance. But this kind of guidance is not the same as the systematic teaching of a personal disciple like Donald.

Messer was a partial and incomplete lineage of other factions found in other texts, opening up a path for the three of Chris to practice as orthodox mages.

Although compared to the inheritance of their own change system, which directly points to the legendary realm, those incomplete inheritances can only allow the three of them to reach the golden rank, and there is no follow-up content, but it allows them to remain correct in their early cultivation and not deviate from bias.

As for the follow-up inheritance, it's not too late to find it if you can reach the golden rank.

Just like Messer, the mages who cultivated the ancient orthodox mage lineage, although they seemed to be advancing slowly on the surface, they had accumulated a lot of strength, their realm was stable, and their mastery of their own strength was far beyond that of ordinary mages. Every time before reaching the threshold of the big rank, there is no bottleneck like an ordinary mage, as long as the strength is reached, breaking through is like pushing a boat down the river.

So don't look at Messer's own mage strength stagnating in the bronze subversion for many years without a breakthrough, it's because he has studied alchemy too deeply, plus some other reasons. In fact, at the soul level, Messer has already broken through the limit of bronze, and is not weaker than the average silver powerhouse, once he chooses to break through, then he can immediately become a powerhouse in the silver rank, which is equivalent to the degree of silver subversion.

That's the advantage of these mages with an orthodox lineage. It is also one of the reasons why the silver mage in the remote area of Messer would let a behemoth like the Mage Guild have some scruples.

However, even if there is no bottleneck in the ancient mage inheritance in terms of rank, the speed of Donald's progress seems to be too fast.

There is no way, the talent and potential that has been improved by taking up the hero class through the Book of Truth are far deeper than those of ordinary professionals, and the benefits brought by absorbing demonic power have saved Donald most of the accumulation time, and soon let him rush to the bronze rank.

If it weren't for Messer's repeated confirmation that his disciples did not take any shortcuts and detours, they were completely in accordance with the path of an orthodox mage, and they made a rapid breakthrough in a short period of time, but the foundation was extremely deep, just like a mage who had been cultivating for more than ten years. Otherwise, Messer will have to temporarily imprison Donald and wait until he has accumulated a deep foundation before letting him break through.

Although this situation is extremely rare, it has not been uncommon in ancient times. It is said that it is a type of person with extremely amazing talent for mages, and is called a demon veiner. Demon veiners are born without much cultivation, they can obtain profound accumulation from their own bloodline and soul power and several times the promotion speed beyond ordinary people, although such people rarely appear, but once they appear, they are talents that various mage forces compete for.

Because this kind of genius is a natural golden seed, becoming a golden powerhouse saves almost half of the time compared to ordinary mages, and only after reaching gold will the speed decrease, but it also has a lot more time than others to impact the legend.

It is said that the Grand Arcanist Lord of the Ancient Arcanist Empire and the legendary ** masters of the Ancient Magic Empire, several of them are such geniuses.

Messer suspected that his disciple was a Demon Veiner, but there were only a few words about the Demon Veiner, so it was impossible to determine the specific situation.

Now Donald's own foundation is unexpectedly solid and solid for his teacher, and the difference is only the accumulation of knowledge, which is why Messer is so relieved to let his disciples continue to practice.

It is conceivable that after understanding these circumstances, Donald is very grateful to his teacher, if there is no guidance from his teacher, I am afraid that even if he has the Book of Truth, he will not go far on the path of mage, not only will he not be able to reach the gold, but even the silver rank may not be able to reach, at most he will rely on the professional inheritance of the demon hunter to advance to gold.

That meant he would give up the mage class and become a warrior class with only a few spell abilities. As powerful as it was, it wasn't Donald's intention.

After returning from the teacher, Donald went through the territory again to see if there were any holes in the territory's defenses.

From the information given to him by the silver-haired old man, the various forces that the Macbeth family had secretly arranged in Northcounty were pointed out in detail, including the organization that assassinated him before, which was the Black Knight Brotherhood, a thief group that had emerged in the southern part of Northcounty in recent years.

Through the analysis of intelligence from all sides, Ungerva is eighty percent sure, confirming that the Black Knight Brotherhood is a secret force single-handedly supported by the Macbeth family, which is specially used to collect wealth for their family and deal with some unsightly things.

However, not long ago, Ungwa's spies discovered that the Black Knight Brotherhood's personnel in Boulder City were all missing, as if they had collectively withdrawn from the Boulder City, and could not find any sign of their activities.

And the withdrawal of the Black Knight Brotherhood coincided with the assassination of Donald, a genius mage.

Donald thought of the reminder given to him by the signature Blake Jack, presumably by someone from the Black Knight Brotherhood.

"It seems that this group of thieves is probably out of the control of the Macbeth family, if not completely, but at least it is no longer under its orders. ”

This is good news for him, at least the Macbeth family has lost a helping arm, and it should be easier to deal with in the future.

But what Donald didn't expect was that on the third day of his return to the territory, the Macbeth family had already launched an operation.

"Buying a manor?"

After hearing this, Donald looked at the steward from the Viscount's Palace, and felt extremely ridiculous in his heart.

Early this morning, this guy came to visit the territory under the name of Viscount Macbeth. Donald happened to be in charge of affairs in the realm, so he met with him at the lord's mansion.

I didn't expect this person to make such a request as soon as he opened his mouth.

I saw that the steward of the Macbeth family continued to smile and said:

"Our Lord Viscount thought that Lord Baron's new territory must be busy, so he had no intention of running the manor, so he planned to share the worries of Lord Baron and acquire the Night Manor, which also saved Lord Baron from being distracted and could concentrate on the construction of the territory. ”

"You must know that our viscount is the consul of the northern county, and the most powerful nobleman here, it is the wisest choice to entrust the manor to the care of the viscount. ”

Donald said calmly:

"So I have to thank the Viscount, I just don't know what price the Viscount intends to pay for the purchase of my manor?"

The steward said shamelessly: "I heard that when the Baron bought the manor, it cost less than two thousand gold soles, and our Lord Viscount has always been generous, and is willing to buy it at three times the price, that is, six thousand gold soles!

As soon as these words came out, William behind Donald was furious when he heard this, and his hands clenched his fists fiercely, eager to give the guy in front of him a few blows and beat him into a pig's head. You must know that the current income of the Night Manor in a single month is almost this amount, and Macbeth wants to buy the manor for 6,000 gold soles, undoubtedly planning to shamelessly buy and sell.

Donald laughed angrily.

"Your Lord Viscount is really a good plan! But I didn't say that I was going to sell the manor, the Night Manor was my first manor, and it gave me too many memories, even if it was just idle, I wouldn't choose to sell it, so let's let your master die!"

Hearing this, the steward's face finally changed, and his expression turned stern and threatened:

"Lord Baron, I'm afraid I don't know the strength of our Lord Viscount, our Macbeth family will become a big nobleman sooner or later, not to mention that at that time, even now, it is not a barony that can compete!"

Donald sneered and said:

"What you say is true, but Viscount Macbeth has his own territory, and other nobles of the North County, including our Merlinna family, also have their own territory, so you should wait until your Lord Viscount becomes the only lord of the North County!"

The envoy still relied on the general situation of the Viscount's Mansion and did not leave, and then tried to coerce and lure, Donald no longer paid attention to the other party, and only said loudly to his political officer:

"William, send off!"

William led a few smucy attendants and set up the messenger out of the door, lest he say anything unpleasant and run into his master.

Chapter Eighty-Six: Commercial Suppression (Chapter 2: Asking for Recommendations!) The envoy sent by the Viscount's Mansion was "politely" invited out by Donald, and Donald could guess no matter how stupid he was, what the ultimate purpose of the other party's action to buy his Night Manor was.

It has long been rumored that Viscount Macbeth wants to annex the entire territory of the nobles of the Northern County and become a real noble lord, and their Merliner family was the biggest victim back then.

Although the great nobles and the royal family did not want to see another great nobleman appear on the land of the kingdom, so they gave all kinds of obstacles, but the Macbeth family has become stronger and stronger in recent years, and this cannot be denied.

Now that the Merliner family has just regained the family fiefdom, he Macbeth has come to buy his own manor, and used his own strength as oppression, trying to coerce himself to retreat, which is obviously a thief.

Although there is no Night Manor, as long as you move the Tree of Life, then you can create two or three Night Manors, which will not affect your economic income, Macbeth doesn't know the reason, but Donald will not be weak because of the enemy's strong power, and give up this Night Manor that witnessed his growth.

On the contrary, now that he has territory and strength, he really wants to fight the other party head-on, to see if his Melinna family is still not as weak and bullying as in the past, and even an old dog like Gerry dares to intervene.

So Donald used the hidden thread that he had been ambushing by Macbeth's side.

Soon after, the spy Ade, who had personally rebelled against Donald, sent back important news, which gave Donald an understanding of Viscount Macbeth's actions.

"Do you want to start suppressing me commercially?" thought about it in his mind, and he had a plan of action against Macbeth.

Then he got detailed information from the Kinsol auction house, and after comparing with each other, Donald said to himself that this guy Macbeth finally couldn't hold his breath and was about to tear his face.

In fact, it is also the case, since Donald was in the limelight in the royal capital, and then he returned to the North County to hold an auction again, a series of performances that made Macbeth, the Archon of the North County, feel uncomfortable.

Originally, Viscount Macbeth didn't care much when he first learned that the heir of the former Merlinna family had become a mage's apprentice, and he just planned to find some reasons to press on his head in a few days, if he could give a complete blow, it would be the best, if he couldn't, then he should try his best to create tribulation, so that the other party could not progress, so as not to grow up and jeopardize the interests of the family and his own great cause of unifying the northern county.

Who knew that he hadn't made a move yet, and suddenly there was the shocking news that the other party had defeated the Black Iron Peak Mage as an apprentice, that Black Iron Mage was recruited by his retainer Lord Gerry, and the strength was Viscount Macbeth naturally knew, although there may be some moisture, but the strength of the Black Iron High Rank is real, and the average melee professional with bronze strength is a little afraid of such a mage.

And what kind of talent should this person be to defeat such a powerful Black Iron Peak Mage when he was an apprentice? No wonder the first mage of the North County would love him so much, not only did he accept him as the only disciple, but he also semi-openly revealed that he attached great importance to that young man, and anyone who dared to hinder his growth would face the wrath of him and many mages.

Being able to let Messer, who has always been low-key, do it to such an extent shows the status of this disciple in his heart.

However, the more Donald is taken seriously, the more Macbeth is motivated to get rid of him.

After two unsuccessful assassinations, Viscount Macbeth no longer had any hope of extinguishing the scourge at the source, and such a genius mage must have a lot of protection by his side, and he can't be defeated by his own secret action. What's more, there are also mages from the entire North County behind them.

And the Macbeth family will inevitably face a devastating blow, and I am afraid that even His Majesty, who gets the news, will not let go of himself easily, and it is not a crisis that his family can easily solve.

Just when Viscount Macbeth was about to change his method and try to ease the relationship with this genius mage, there was good news that he had been promoted again. But when Macbeth heard this good news, it somehow changed its taste, which made him feel extremely awkward!

The first came out with the moonshine wine, which brought huge profits that made the Viscount blush, but the creator was the remnant of the Merlinna family. This made the viscount even more unpleasant, how could all the good things be concentrated on the young mage?But considering the huge potential benefits of moonshine wine, this viscount had to lower his posture and plan to adopt a soft policy.

At this time, the news of the orc invasion came, and the plan was put on hold for the time being, and Viscount Macbeth had to put aside all his affairs and set his sights on the border. This is a wonderful opportunity for his family's glory to go further.

The trip to the northwest, which was going to make a big difference, was hit by Donald, a young mage, and basically most of the credit was from others, and the Viscount Macbeth brought an army of thousands of people, but only got the credit of a hundred people, which was more embarrassing than letting him return without success. What does his dignified Viscount family want that kingdom warrior badge for? At least he needs the military exploits of the hereditary knight title to be worthy of the face of the Viscount Mansion.

Now that the Merliner family has regained their territory in the North County, it is equivalent to sharing a piece of meat on their own plate, and it is equivalent to a piece of big fat meat in the county!

In Viscount Macbeth's heart, North County is his own territory sooner or later, and now not only his son and the army have only made an inch, and the reward does not meet the expected standard, but now the territory that originally belonged to him has been divided again, and I am afraid it will be difficult to reunify in the future.

"I really regret that I didn't pay some price to strangle the remnants of Melina in infancy at the first time, and now that this little beast has grown to the point of being a threat to our family, and with Messer's old thing behind it, it will be extremely difficult to get rid of him!"

In the study of the City Lord's Mansion in Boulder City, Macbeth said hatefully in front of several henchmen and his son.

"Father, do you want to find an assassin from the mainland to deal with him? Although the price of a silver-level powerhouse is high, it should be able to succeed 100%!"

Faced with his son's proposal, Macbeth was very moved. But after thinking about it, he still said:

"This is the last resort, if it really comes to that time, it will inevitably cause a backlash from Messer, the mages think differently from the nobles, even if there is no evidence, he will directly retaliate against us, and the family has news from the inner line of the Royal Capital Mage Association, Messer's status among mages is probably not ordinary. Even if he destroys our family, I'm afraid he won't be punished too much. My Macbeth family has been operating in Celt for three hundred years, and now it is allied with the eldest prince, once the eldest prince waits for the throne, we will have an excuse to purge the other nobles in the northern county, and seeing that the general trend is imminent, it would be a shame to give up like this!"

A confidant said: "It's a pity that the inside line we can insert is just an apprentice who can't be promoted for a lifetime, and his status is too low to get real information." ”

Burton immediately asked, "So what are we going to do?"

Macbeth thought for a while, and said to a few henchmen:

"The previous plan remains the same, to suppress the development and construction of Dalaran in all aspects as much as possible, I want all the nobles of the North County to know who is the real master of the North County, and those who offend my Macbeth family will definitely not end well. ”

Then he said coldly to his son:

"As for your plan, just buy off the manpower over there but don't move for the time being, and when it's determined that nothing can be done here, and we all evacuate Celt, we will start action immediately, and we must cut it down and eradicate it!"

After the discussion was made in the castle lord's mansion, changes began to occur outside the boulder city the next day.

Seeing this, many people went to inquire with the insiders and found out that it was their city lord who had set up a checkpoint in the north of Boulder City, and no caravans that planned to enter Dalaran's territory were allowed to pass.

People who don't know the details are wondering, what is the matter, why is it that their lord is in trouble with Baron Melinna, the lord of the kingdom hero Dalaran?

But many nobles and upper-class people knew about the grievances between the two families back then. However, the Merlina family, who is the bitter master, has risen now, and he has not retaliated at the first time, but his Macbeth Viscount first couldn't hold his breath and began to press, which made most people look down on him.

Viscount Macbeth's practice of blocking trade not only tried to hinder the development and construction of Dalaran, but also caused the dissatisfaction of many merchants in Boulder City.

You must know that the new construction of Dalaran territory will inevitably lack materials and need to buy a large amount from the outside world, these merchants have made a lot of money in several previous transactions with the Merlinna family, and they have long been eyeing the treasure land of Dalaran. Moreover, it is rumored that Baron Melina is worth a lot of money comparable to that of a big nobleman, and he has always spent a lot of money, and when he was in the royal capital Kosovo, he spent tens of thousands of soles without even blinking an eye.

As a businessman, I naturally like such high rollers the most.

As a result, the wind direction in the North County gradually became somewhat unfavorable to the Macbeth family. However, these basically have no big impact on the big family Viscount Macbeth, at most they are secretly said a few words. And you won't lose a piece of meat!

However, Macbeth clearly underestimated the power that the merchants could wield, and his blockade of the northern part of Boulder City not only affected the merchants and the Dalaran Territory in the city, but also greatly affected the normal business of the Red Maple Baron Ridge located in the northern part of Boulder City.

Because the road north of Boulder City does not only lead to Dalaran Territory, but also the only way to the Barony of Red Maple. Now that Macbeth does not allow large caravans to enter and leave the north, it will also suffer a lot of losses for the business of the Barony of Red Maple.

As the largest merchant nobleman in North County, Baron Red Maple raised his dissatisfaction in front of other nobles several times, and also sent letters to Macbeth to explain the situation, but Macbeth didn't care much and simply perfunctory. Macbeth had long wanted to suppress Baron Red Maple, and this time it was a lesson to the businessman who had been wavering!

Although businessmen believe in harmony and making money, they will not let others take advantage of it. Faced with Macbeth's disregard for himself, Baron Red Maple immediately counterattacked.

Although the baron himself did not come forward, he secretly contacted many large and small businessmen and summoned them to suppress the Macbeth family financially.

In the commercial field, the prestige of the Baron of Red Maple family for many years was obviously more convincing to merchants than that of pure aristocrats like Macbeth.

As a result, during this period of time, many merchants who originally traded with the Macbeth family stopped trading, and most of the bulk purchases in the Viscount's Mansion were cut off. This move had a direct impact on Viscount Macbeth's own quality of life.

Looking at the Dalaran territory that was hit, except for a slight impact on economic development, there is no difficulty in life. Although the trade routes of Boulder City have been cut off, the several chambers of commerce and the shops under Baron Red Maple have not cut off trade with Dalaran.

Moreover, in addition to the large caravans in Boulder City, the scattered small traders were not forbidden by the Macbeth family, so these suppressions did not have much effect at all. Because you can suppress it for a while, but you can't suppress it for a lifetime, as long as you don't shake the root of Dalaran, these small means are like a breeze blowing in your face.

(To be continued)
