The Duke stared at Richard for a moment, then said with a smile: "Eleventh level Great Magician, and he is still so young! This is rare in the entire continent. Dear Mr. Richard, you are not yet twenty years old this year, are you?" According to the system of aristocratic society, Richard was actually a vassal of Duke Wolf. However, as is customary in the Faro plane, he is particularly respectful of a great mage.

"I've just turned twenty!" replied Richard. In fact, he was only seventeen years old, but there was no need to tell the duke. After all, in the history of the Pharo plane, the twenty-year-old great magician was already a genius of great status.

"That's a very rare thing, too!" said the duke, who sat down on the sofa in the main seat, beckoned Richard to sit down as well, and then ordered the butler to serve the tea again.

After tasting the tea, the duke waved his hand to the butler and servants to step down. As a result, he is left in the drawing room with Richard, Reilly, Erin, Quicksand, Minnie, and Cass. Duke Blue Wolf didn't even have a cronie with him, which made Reilly a little nervous. However, if the Dawn Knight were allowed to rush in, it would definitely alarm the castle guards. So, he gave up the idea of doing it.

Richard took the magic box from Minnie's hand, placed it on the coffee table in front of the duke, and said, "Lord Duke, this is the magic pattern structure I prepared for you. ”

The Duke lifted the lid of the box, glanced at it casually, and placed the sealing box aside. He looked at Richard and said gently, "It's rare and it's precious. However, its value is not comparable to that of an artifact. Why, then, did I not deliver you over to the Temple, Xerxes and Anne had always been generous in this matter. His tone was casual, as if to say that the weather was nice today. However, the content of the words suddenly became a little aggressive.

The living room was quiet, except for the sound of Kas's rapid breathing echoing in the air.

Reilly smiled, stepped out from behind Richard, and said to Duke Greywolf, "If the gods of Faro can get you what you want, how did we come here?"

The Duke looked at him in surprise and said with a smile: "You are very bold. However, if you are bold enough to exceed the boundary, it will turn into recklessness. If Xerxes and Ness can't get me what I want, what can you do for me? If you can only provide some magical builds, then there's not much to talk about. While this stuff is appealing, it's not enough. The Duke's demeanor was still gentle, but his eyes had begun to sharpen a lot.

Reilly said calmly: "If you cooperate with us, you will completely stand on the opposite side of the gods, and even usher in one or more god wars, because I can help you ignite the divine fire!"

The Duke was so startled that he almost stood up. However, he quickly sat back down, and the shock on his face slowly receded. The next moment, the Duke's gaze became extremely sharp, and he repeatedly glanced over Richard and Reilly's bodies.

"Forgive me for my rudeness, but how are you going to prove what you say?" said the Duke in a deep voice.

Reilly smiled and took out a book and handed it to the duke: "From condensing faith to igniting divine fire, we have a complete teaching material, you can take a look at this." ”

Duke Blue Wolf took the book, looked at it a few times, and then lost his voice and said, "This, how is this possible?!"

"Hehe, if you don't believe what is written in this book, then why don't you let the guards outside rush in?" Reilly said lightly.

The Duke took a deep breath and said, "If you give me this book now, aren't you afraid that I will turn my face?" Strictly speaking, it is a key to the altar, and as long as the knowledge in it is completely digested, the Duke is even sure that he will ignite the divine fire within fifty years!

"The process of igniting the divine fire, to put it bluntly, is to use the power of divinity to attract rules, calcinate the body and soul of the strong, transform it into a divine soul and divine body, and finally exalt the throne. However, this process is not without danger, and if the transformation is not completed before the soul is burned out, the god will surely be reduced to ashes!" Rayleigh paused and said, "However, I can use my special ability to communicate the will of the plane and let it grant you the priesthood in advance. In this way, the risk of igniting the divine fire will be minimized. ”

Duke Blue Wolf stood up and said in shock, "How can you get the recognition of the will of the plane?!"

Reilly smiled and said, "As far as the will of the plane, there is not much difference between the natives and the outsiders, and the only ones who are truly inseparable from us are the gods of Faro. ”

"Yes...... We are the people of Faro!" said the Duke of Blue Wolf reluctantly.

"Do you think that Faro doesn't love her people?" Reilly frowned and said, "All your food and clothing, as well as the energy you absorbed during cultivation, which one didn't come from this plane? If Faro didn't love her people, neither you nor your ancestors would have been born!"

Duke Blue Wolf smiled bitterly and said, "I understand what you said...... Forget it, let's talk about becoming a god, can you really help me achieve immortality?"

Reilly shook his head and said, "I can only push you to the altar, but I can't make you immortal." ”

The Duke looked at him in surprise and asked, "Does it make any difference?"

"Of course there is a difference!" Reilly said solemnly, "Even the plane itself will perish, how can those gods who are dependent on the rules of the plane be immortal?

Duke Blue Wolf had never heard such a statement, nor had he ever thought about such a thing.

In the Pharo plane, where the gods rule, any question about the status of the gods will become a reason for a person to be burned at the stake. Although the Duke of Blue Wolf is on a hostile side with the gods, this is actually an internal struggle in the same camp. In his mind, the gods also deserve to have a supreme position, even above the entire Faro plane.

However, after thinking about it carefully, the Duke found that there was an irrefutable truth in Reilly's words. In the teachings of the gods, there is a common way to deal with such irrefutable statements, which is to burn the speaker at the stake without giving him a chance to speak.

The Duke let out a long breath and said to Richard, "What do you need?"

Richard thought for a moment and said, "Lord Duke, thank you for your kindness. I do need help right now, mainly in three areas. First of all, I need a stable trade channel to buy food, slaves, and all kinds of magical materials. Secondly, I need a list, which should consist of two parts, one of which is your true friend and foe. The other part is those strong people who need to pay attention, including legendary powerhouses, the more detailed the information, the better. Finally, I need a lot of materials to build the altar. I will pay for all the supplies I get from you, and the only request is to be able to guarantee supplies. ”

The Duke glanced at Richard deeply, smiled and said, "You don't want money and the army, you are really a very ambitious little guy." ”

Richard was shocked, but his face remained calm.

The Duke picked up his pencil, sketched a small area on the map, and said, "I have given you the title of Pioneer Knight, but that is only a permission to use my name to fight abroad. However, the Pioneer Knight is not a true nobleman, and for the convenience of the future, I will give you another knighthood. As for titles, the family lineage you inherited is very good. In this way, you will be considered one of the true nobles. If you want a higher title, it's up to you to work hard. This place is your jazz collar, you can see if there is anything that needs to be added first. ”

Richard stood at the edge of the map, carefully looking at the area outlined by the duke.

It was a five-kilometer stretch of land, at the junction of the Redwood Kingdom, the Lands of Unrest, and the Bloodstained Lands. A small river runs through the jazz collar, and it is flanked by fields of farmland. What Richard valued most was that there was a main road at the edge of the realm that led to the heart of the Redwood Kingdom. In addition, in the mountainous area, which occupies a third of the area of the jazz collar, there are marks of copper, iron, coal and redwood trees. Although the first three are the most common minerals, most of them are in an unexplored state, and some have not even been explored, and no one knows how much of the underground veins there are. The redwood tree is the most famous specialty of the Red Mountain Kingdom, which has both toughness and hardness, and has a high compatibility with magic, which can be used to make magic bows.

Strictly speaking, the quality of this jazz collar is no worse than that of Baron Fontaine's.

"Thank you for taking care of you!" said Richard.

Duke Blue Wolf waved his hand and said, "It's just a trivial matter. I also hope that you can get off to a faster start and eventually build a career here. Time is important!"
