The Duke of Mark has had a series of events recently.

First of all, Duke Marcus was critically ill, and several sons fought for the position of heir.

Soon, the Duke's illness was miraculously cured, and he exiled several adult sons and regained power.

In the end, he generously rewarded the healer who healed him, gave the knights of the three Illyas, and granted a fiefdom of tens of thousands of acres.

Jack Collar.

This is the new name given to this joint fiefdom by the three Illiyas.

Of course, it doesn't matter what the name is, what matters is that this will be the location of the Mage Tower, or even the first mage academy on the continent.

Three horses gallop through the moor, riding a robed mage.

"I've seen ......"

Tacloo said first: "The cultivated land in this territory has about 10,000 imperial acres, as well as a forest and a village...... There are more than 100 families in the village, all of whom are our lords, and they hold a market every half a month, where they can exchange for some daily necessities......"

"If it depends on them, I don't know when the Mage Tower will be built, but fortunately, the Duke sent a construction team......" A trace of disdain flashed in Phil's eyes.

"Well, the construction site has arrived."

Illia arrives at a construction site where hundreds of slaves are at work.

The construction of a mage tower is more troublesome and expensive than building a castle.

The first thing they did was to open a mountain nearby and set up a stone quarry to transport the polished stones here.

Then, it is necessary to measure the land and build the foundation.

"The Mage Tower has a total of seven floors, a library, a storage room, a laboratory, a botanical garden, a lounge, an energy pool, a basement...... I've done all the planning......"

Illia asked the leader Patra to come over and ordered the slaves to retreat first: "Of course...... The most important thing is to make the foundation first, let's do it! ”

She raised her staff, and a plush of light emerged.

Wherever the earthy yellow light passed, the soil quickly condensed into a gray stone in the huge pit that had been dug out.

- Turn mud into stone!

Phil and Taclow nodded and moved in the same way.

Although they have chosen their own paths, it is not impossible to cultivate the 'spell templates' of other factions.

For example, Ilia also has a talent for the 'illusion system' founded by Taklau, but he can't touch the edge of the prophecy spell, and in order to protect himself, he learned several powerful 'plastic energy' spells from Phil.

In exchange, her healing spells were also learned by two companions.

Although the effect is not as good as that of Illia, it can still be used.

- Turn mud into stone!

- Turn mud into stone!

With the help of magic, a stone foundation suddenly appeared, leaving both the slaves and the overseers stunned.

"This ...... What kind of power is this! ”

Patra muttered in a low voice, "Evil? Or kindness? In a word...... It's so mysterious...... It's amazing......"

For mortals without supernatural strength, superstring warriors are already unimaginably powerful.

And the power of magic is even more wonderful.

However, thinking of the Duke's orders, Patra suppressed all thoughts again.

"Patra."

At this time, he heard the voice of the female mystic, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed lower: "My lord, what do you command?" ”

"Rest for the next two days, let the slaves go down and rest, and give them broth!"

Ilia commanded.

Next, the three of them need to paint magical runes on the foundation, which is not a job that ordinary slaves can do.

"Yes! You are so merciful! ”

Patra said in admiration.

As soon as he had left, he mounted a horse and galloped for a long time, reaching the Greyfish Castle where the Duke was located in the middle of the night.

Because of his orders, even in the middle of the night, he was received by Duke Marcus.

Inside the study.

The dim candle flame flickered on and off.

Marcus held a quill in his hand and listened quietly to Patra's story.

"You mean...... Do they have magical powers that can turn soil into stone? ”

"More than that, Lord Duke!"

Sweat continued to appear on Patra's forehead: "They can also summon flames and explode huge mountain peaks...... The quarry in the mountain has been able to solve many difficulties because of the help of Master Phil, and the daily mining volume is several times that of other quarries......"

"Really...... It's incredible......"

Marcus muttered, feeling that the world might be about to change again.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind, and wrote a letter, sealed with fire paint: "Bring this letter to the magician Iliya, several of my friends are also afflicted with illness, and have heard of her miraculous healing skills, and I hope that she will come and see it...... At the same time, you can find out if she has any thoughts about accepting apprentices. ”

As a ruler, he has an uncontrolled force under his command, and his first reaction is naturally to eliminate.

But if it can't be destroyed, and if there is still benefit, I naturally want to share it.

"Yes, Lord Duke!"

Patra bowed and walked out.

……

"Is it finally there?"

At the same time, inside a barracks.

A piece of information was sent to Bakir.

"The mysterious man who snatched the obelisk back then has finally come out to move!"

He looked at the information in his hand, very excited.

The empire is very determined about this matter, and if he hadn't been a 'hero' for the defeat last time, he might have been thrown directly into prison.

And in the past few years, he has been with the royal hero, not allowed to return to the imperial capital, and has been looking for traces of the other party.

If Iliya and the others have been living in seclusion, then there is naturally nothing to be done.

But now that they are acting publicly, they will not escape the supervision of the empire.

He opened the letter and frowned again: "I actually got the protection of Duke Marcus......"

"My lord, we will directly order the Duke with the Empire and ask him to cooperate......"

Next to him, a henchman rolled his eyes and suggested.

"No, the duke has a lot of power, and he has the power of pardon...... Also, the matter of that ruin is confidential and cannot be made public! ”

Bakker's brows furrowed, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly made a decision: "Order down, two thousand people gather!" We raided Jack's Collar directly, captured the wanted criminal, and found the obelisk...... As for the rest of the matter, it's just a fight between the empire and the duke......"

He was born as a general, and he did things vigorously.

Act slowly, what if the other party gets the news and runs away?

Therefore, if you succeed in one blow neatly, as long as you find the obelisk, the rest of the things, the empire must not account for too much.

And the strength of those mysterious people, he is also very clear.

Although the means are weird, they are definitely not the opponents of heroes in head-to-head combat!

Coupled with the fact that there is an army surrounding, this time, the other party will not be allowed to escape again!!
