Emperor Auston himself was only a magic apprentice, and although he could sense that Donner and Wesley were no longer what they used to be, he did not know the specific magical skills of the two. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lucia was a little better than him, and she could tell that Donner and Wesley should have a higher magic level than her, vaguely guessing that they were between four and five levels.

However, even a fifth-level mage would be able to change a war between countries by relying on the power of one person.

The others thought roughly the same as Lucia, so when Emperor Auston asked this, everyone looked at Donald, waiting for his answer.

And then they were all disappointed.

"Can't be reached......" Donner shook his head.

"That'...... Can you still buy that magic crossbow from the dwarves?" asked Emperor Auston anxiously.

Downer's answer is still no.

The meeting hall, which had just been lively, immediately fell into a long sigh again.

"Your Majesty, what is the request of the Silver Finchflower Federation?" asked Donner.

Prime Minister Adrien replied on his behalf: "The three northern provinces ......"

Donner glanced at Wesley beside him, and then said to Emperor Auston, "Your Majesty, I beg you to exchange my fiefdom in the province of Tris for the three northern provinces. In fact, the result of his discussion with Wesley was that he only needed one province for the time being, but the opportunity was rare, so he simply increased the conditions temporarily.

"Duke Vane," Adrien wondered, "didn't you hear clearly......?

Donner interrupted the Prime Minister with a smile: "I am willing to solve the urgent needs of the Empire." ”

At this moment, not only Adrien, but everyone, including Emperor Auston, looked towards Donner.

"Duke Vane, do you really have a solution?" said Emperor Auston.

"I'm willing to give it a try, and if I don't succeed, I won't go back. Donner's meaning is clear, if the three northern provinces he traded for Tris are eventually ceded to the Silver Finity, he will admit defeat. For a fiefdom nobleman, this is tantamount to leaving no way back for himself.

But whether Donner succeeds or not, there are advantages and disadvantages for the empire, or for the Auston Emperor - in the Huls continent, the fiefdom nobles need to pay taxes to the monarch, that is, if the three northern provinces are given to Donner, the Auston Emperor still has taxes to collect (mainly grain), and ceded to the Silver Finch, then it doesn't matter again.

What's more, Donner's condition is to exchange the richest province of Tris in the south of the empire.

On Donner's side, he originally wanted to settle in a corner and seek development, and the grain producing area of Tris Province did not mean much to him for the time being, even if he wanted it in the future, he could find a way to let Emperor Aston spit it out.

Therefore, the two hit it off, and His Majesty the Emperor immediately agreed to Donner's request and ordered Adrien to complete the formalities as soon as possible.

Donner did not say how he would solve this crisis, but because of the resources he borrowed from the north during the Great Patriotic War, and the courage to give up the province of Tris at this time, everyone from the Emperor Auston to Kane and others speculated that he would probably borrow troops from the dwarves again.

Time was pressing, and Donner and Wesley didn't stay long, and soon retired from the palace.

On the carriage back to the Earl's Court, Donner asked with some trepidation:

"Can you do it? I'd better go with you?"

"Don't you think it's disrespectful to ask me?" Wesley said with a laugh.

Donald smiled, Wesley's words were not unreasonable, a sixth-level all-system mage was enough to run amok in the Huls Continent. Even if Wesley didn't have a perverted leapfrog combat power like Donner, relying on psychic magic, it would be enough to fight against elemental mages below level ten - there was no way there would be such a strong person in the Huls Continent.

"It seems that we lack a steward, lest we have to do everything ourselves. Downer was referring to the acceptance of the three northern provinces this time. Of Morn and the others, only Lucia was once a nobleman, but her personality was not suitable for this. Not to mention Una and Layla, who still haven't fully figured out what aristocracy is.

"We lack more than a butler. Wesley shook his head, his head big at the thought of the huge blueprint Donner had sketched out to him.

"It's always one step at ......a time," Donner echoed, recalling if there was such a candidate in the Femont Empire.

......

After returning to the Earl's Court, Donner asked Wesley to wait for him in the reception room for a while, and went to fetch two bottles of Flowing Cloud Elixir - it had been half a year since the two of them had been promoted to rank 6 mages.

"Together?" Wesley took the flask.

"You go first...... I'll keep it for you. "After two years of precarious training in the Magic Continent, Donner has developed the habit of being careful in everything.

"The first opportunity to be promoted to the white robe in the history of the Huls Continent was given to me?" Wesley asked with a smile.

Donner knew that the point of his sentence was "the first", but he shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not bad for a while......"

"Then you're welcome. Wesley grinned and sat down, twisted his buttocks, found a comfortable position in the wide armchair, unscrewed the cap, and drank with his head up.

Donner watched him collapse in his chair before sitting down across from him, closing his eyes and recuperating as he was protecting Wesley.

After more than three hours, Wesley woke up, and when he came to his senses, the first thing he said was, "Do you know what it's like to be the strongest in the entire Hulse continent?"

Donner looked at his shameless appearance and replied with a smile, "Of course I know, that's how I feel right now......"

"It's boring......" Wesley had to admit that Donner was right—he had seen Donner overcast.

"Alright, it's my turn...... Enjoy the next three hours and feel the strongest taste on the mainland......" Donner smiled as he drank another bottle of Flowing Cloud Elixir before falling asleep in a state of dizziness.

Wesley paced back and forth in the small reception room, muttering to himself, "Hmm...... That's it......"

Towards evening, Donner woke up, and after more than six years of studying magic, he had finally been promoted to the rank of High Mage.

In the Magic Continent, there is a small ritual when promoting a Flowing Cloud Mage, in which the abbot of the Holy Academy will personally give a special white robe embroidered with elemental totems to the promoter.

And on the continent of Hulse, in the corner of Middle-earth, the ceremony of Donner and Wesley is just to look at each other and smile.

Wesley had a brief dinner and left the Earl's Court alone.

Donner gathered the people together and announced that they would leave Coenas early the next morning and continue north.

When night officially fell, the servants of the Earl's Court informed Donna that Princess Lucia had arrived.
