Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. A great magician will generally meet a lot of potential geniuses in the process of his own growth, and most of those geniuses will also be centered on the great magician in the future and form a small group. Open recruitment of followers is extremely rare. Hearing this, many adventurers and professionals flocked to the hedge town.

Especially those magic apprentices who were trapped in the third level, after hearing the news, many of them couldn't wait to rush to the hedge town, the identity of these magic apprentices is the most embarrassing, they can't become magicians and have magical talents, they are most eager to get the guidance of the strong, let them break through the bottleneck, feather into butterflies, and become a real magician!

At the same time, there are also many nobles who try to let their children worship under the great magician and practice magic. These people also poured into the hedge town. In this world, it is also extremely difficult to learn magic, and it is difficult to find a famous teacher, and the opportunity is rare.

Although those magician academies are open to recruit students, the students recruited are either geniuses among the geniuses among the commoners, or the children of the great nobles with real power and vast fiefdoms, and the children of ordinary nobles cannot enter those magic academies at all.

Suddenly, the not too big hedge town was overcrowded, even the ordinary houses also took the opportunity to make a lot of money, and the nobles who sent a request to Zhao Feng to see him broke through the threshold of Zhao Feng's villa in the hedge town every day, but no one could meet Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng and Alice completed the magic test procedures, returned to Hedge Town, rested for the night, and then rode in a carriage to visit Baron Larman, the ruler of this hundred miles radius.

The carriage carrying Zhao Feng and Alice passed through the fields planted with wheat, and under the guidance and escort of ten knights, they entered a castle with a moat as wide as five meters, a city wall as high as ten meters, and various war buildings such as arrow towers, observation platforms, crossbow arrows, trebuchet placement platforms, and secret passages were all repaired in an extremely tight manner, like a castle of a small war fortress.

The castle was also divided into an outer city and an inner city, and after entering the inner city, Baron Larman met with Zhao Feng and Alice in a meeting room.

Baron Larman was a well-dressed middle-aged man who exuded the aura of a long-time ruler and had a hooked nose.

"Hello, Master Zhao Feng, I didn't expect you to become a great magician at such a young age. This is your student Alice, who is also a high-level magician. You and your students are rare geniuses in a century!" Baron Ralman looked Zhao Feng and Alice up and down, he was first shocked by Alice's appearance, and then his eyes turned around on the magic badge of the great magician on Zhao Feng's chest and the magic badge of the senior magician on Alice's chest, his eyes shrank slightly, and sighed.

"Where! You've won a prize. Zhao Feng smiled faintly and said modestly.

After a polite exchange, Zhao Feng sat down with Alice and Baron Ralman, and several beautiful young maids held cups of coffee in front of everyone.

"Baron Larman, I came to disturb you this time because I have a reluctant request, I hope you can agree!" Zhao Feng handed a document directly to Baron Larman.

Baron Lalman smiled faintly, and did not rush to promise anything, but took the document and looked at it carefully, looking at him with a face that couldn't help but change slightly.

In that document, Zhao Feng proposed that in order to build a large city on the outskirts of the Demon Forest in front of the hedge town as his own habitat, Baron Ralman needed to write a document acknowledging that the land opened up by Zhao Feng belonged to Zhao Feng.

The Demon Forest is a borderless land, and Baron Ralman's territory is legally only from the periphery of the Demon Forest, extending to this castle and then three miles outward, granting a piece of borderless land to Zhao Feng, and there is nothing wrong with being a favor.

It's just that if that forest is opened up by Zhao Feng and a big city is established, then the status of the adventurer's transit station in Hedge Town will be greatly weakened, and the large taxes that will be paid to Baron Larman in Hedge Town will be reduced, which has already threatened the interests of Baron Ralman, and Baron Larman is reluctant to agree to this proposal.

"According to the laws of the kingdom, Master Zhao Feng, you do have the right to develop a wasteland and become your fief. But this fiefdom is inevitably a little too big!" Even if Zhao Feng was a great magician with an unlimited future, Baron Ralman was unwilling to agree to this proposal, which would greatly damage his interests, and vetoed it in a roundabout way.

According to the laws of the kingdom of Panturo, a great magician has the right to carve out a wasteland that does not belong to any nobleman and become his fief. However, wastelands must not be larger than the size of a lordship. If the archmage is not a nobleman, then the fief belonged to him and his family during his lifetime, and after his death, the kingdom will nationalize the land, but will pay a large sum of money to the archmage's family.

Of course, if a great magician is willing to serve the kingdom and make meritorious deeds, then he will be crowned a true nobleman by the kingdom, and have a legacy that can be passed down from generation to generation.

In order to be able to leave a legacy that future generations can continue to pass on, many great magicians have joined the huge forces with the status of feudal nobility and served for them. After all, magic cannot be passed down from generation to generation, while the titles of land and nobility can be passed down from generation to generation and are protected by law.

"Baron Ralman, don't you think that the price of food and weapons have risen a little too fast recently?" Zhao Feng didn't get angry because of the rejection, just took a sip of the bitter coffee and said lightly.

"Respected Master Zhao Feng, may I ask, what does this mean?" Baron Ralman's eyes shrank and asked lightly. He has been a ruler for more than ten years, and naturally has an intelligence agency in his hands, and he has also noticed the recent large fluctuations in the prices of food and weapons, so that he has been weathered for a long time and vaguely smells an unusual smell.

"Don't you really understand? This time, the price of food and weapons have risen, but not only in our Panturo Kingdom, but in the entire continent. Zhao Feng glanced meaningfully at Baron Larman and said slowly.

Baron Lalman was also a knowledgeable man, and after listening to Zhao Feng's words, a chill flowed through his heart, and a terrible possible surname filled his heart with fear.

"Where did you get this news that the price of food and weapons is rising across the continent?" Baron Ralman asked, struggling.

"One of the top ten chambers of commerce in the mainland, the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce!" Zhao Feng's words shattered Baron Larman's last glimmer of hope.
