[There is another update, it may be very late, and it will not affect tomorrow's update]

"Nellis, what's wrong with you?" Salin didn't reprimand, he pulled Neris up from the steps, and when he saw Neris covered in snow, his anger suddenly disappeared.

She still has a teacher, and she has a sika, but Nellis is just alone, and her master is okay and reprimanded. In the entire Myers Continent, no one will care about her anymore.

"I'm hungry. ”

Salin lowered his voice and asked, "Where's the meat you bought on the road?"

"It's all gone. ”

Sarin was a little embarrassed, Neris was a big eater and liked to eat fresh meat. It's not that I can't afford it, but now I live in the county lord's mansion, so it's hard to get in and out. And it's too weird to buy a lot of fresh meat, a magician, two women, why buy so much meat jerky?

"Go into the house and say. Salin pulled Neris into the room and asked, "What else do you like to eat besides fresh meat?"

"Master, I...... I've been very hungry lately, and my stomach has been empty. If you don't starve, maybe I'm going to grow up. ”

Long body?

Salin carefully recalled Neris's original appearance, and it was indeed a little thin. The book says that many demonic beasts will eat a lot of food before they advance, and the demons should be about the same, right? Neris is estimated to be almost an adult, and she should find a way to purchase a batch of food, so she can't delay this matter.

Neris can sneak attack the Headless Horseman without being an adult, and if she is an adult, her combat power is very exciting. Moreover, demons can learn magic, although it is rare, and it is slightly different from human magic, but for Neris, who is known for hand-to-hand combat, even one more icicle can more than double her combat power.

"I asked them to prepare more food, fresh meat, and I will find a way to solve it. Salin comforted Neris, who nodded in agreement, not playing any tricks as usual.

Nellis is about to advance, Shika's weapon has also been repaired, and he has obtained 24 magic formulas, Sarin's heart has calmed down slightly, and Faeron's words seem to be ringing in his ears.

Count Su Fonso was attacked by his teacher, and I am afraid that he will really be worried in the future. He is a Juggernaut, and it is impossible for him to receive protection in the magic tower all the time. The gap between himself and him will become smaller and smaller.

It's just that he endured it in the county lord's mansion, and Salin was a little unwilling. Where to hire an assassin? If you can't kill Su Fonso, at least you will make the Earl's Court restless. He should have asked Aini to do him a favor, and Aini would have found a powerful assassin.

Forget it, Su Fangso had to do it himself, and if the assassin accidentally killed him, he would be even more unwilling.

The snow fell intermittently for three days, and the New Year arrived in a blink of an eye. The Qin Empire and the Skociana used similar calendars, both of which originated in the Second Dynasty. Many customs are inherited from the time of the goddess Myers.

The county lord's mansion was lit up with lights, and the atmosphere was warm, and even the courtyard of Faeron could feel the cheerful atmosphere.

Accepting the badge of the county lord of Rex, Saleen became familiar with the talents around him, and also had a more detailed understanding of the county lord's mansion. Contrary to what he had imagined, the mages around Lord Rex had remained below 300. The six rooms vacated in the courtyard were those who had advanced to the rank of Grand Mage.

These six people had been studying with Pheren, but they were not his students. After advancing, they all went out to walk and exercise.

The Lord of Rex is surrounded by almost all low-level mages, and once these mages advance, they will leave the county lord's mansion. In the past ten years, the county lord's mansion has produced more than thirty great magicians.

If Bitterwater County hadn't been in crisis, these archmages might not have come back for the rest of their lives.

Salin had some admiration for Lord Rex, a method that other nobles did not have. However, he was very curious, after cultivating so many great magicians, the consumption of money was extremely terrifying, even if he relied on the existing gems, it was difficult to say whether it would be enough.

Where did Lord Rex get his money?

Salin had some knowledge of the income of the nobles or the royal family, and the Lord of Rex, even if he was the only daughter of His Majesty the Emperor, would not have any special care. Because she has obtained a fief, all expenses are distributed from the income of the fief.

There will be ten to twelve small cities below the big cities at the county level, and the control range will not exceed two hundred li. The total area is certainly not comparable to that of a principality. Moreover, the Lord of Rex County is not yet an adult in the true sense of the word, and the taxes of the surrounding cities, she can't call them all yet.

It was only when she became an adult that these cities truly belonged to her. Previously, the officials of these cities were appointed by the House of Commons.

Kusui County is said to have been an almost deserted ancient city, but now it is prosperous and solemn, with the atmosphere of a national capital. Where did all this money come from? Even if the county lord had a great mage as a teacher, he would not have been able to have so much wealth.

High-level mages are indeed rich, and the cost of building a magic tower is no less than that of building a city.

There must be something strange about this bitter water county.

"Salin, Salin!" a crisp voice sounded outside the door. Salin pushed open the window and saw a female mage who lived on the opposite side standing in the courtyard, summoning him.

"Nania, what's the matter?"

Nania has flaxen-colored hair and a petite build, like a member of the Cloudstream Empire. She clasped her hands and said, "Do you have time to help?"

Salin looked at Feren's laboratory in embarrassment, and Nania smiled and said, "Sir is not here recently, let me talk to you." You can use the laboratory, but you still have to take things from the county lord. ”

Salin suddenly saw that Fei Lun was about to advance, and he would definitely go to the magic tower to practice for a while. Inside the Magic Tower, not only is it safe, but the recovery speed of mental power and magic strings is also very fast.

"Wait a minute. Salin put on a robe, this robe was brand new, woven from green silk, although it was not as good as the magic robe given to him by the teacher, but it was also a rare thing. The treatment of the mages in the county lord's mansion is really good, like himself, he can also receive a third-level magic core every day.

This magic core is very small, and its value is not as good as that sold in the equipment stores outside, but its effect is not much different. The cultivation process of a mage is not comparable to fighting, and there is no need to use that expensive magic core. But it's not easy, you must know that there are more than two hundred mages in the county lord's mansion. The daily consumption of this low-level magic core is thousands of gold coins.

Saleen walked out of the room and asked, "Nania, what do you want me to do?"

Lord Rex has already inquired about Salin's origin in Ceylon City, and no longer secretly cares about him, and Sareen is much more relaxed, and his dealings with these mages have become easier.

Nania's face was a little red, as if it was blown by the wind. She whispered, "The tailor can't be busy there, can you go with me for an afternoon." ”

"Tailor?" Salin was a little strange, he was a mage, and it was difficult for him to make anything for the county lord, and the tailoring was even more amateur.

"It's my younger brother, the people of the swordsman battalion are gradually returning, and according to custom, on the sixth day of the new year, the county is mainly paraded. This is to rush out a batch of brocade robes, and the other mages have followed the county lord to winter hunting. I ......"

Salin then remembered that because the Sika weapon was solved, he did not ask to participate in the winter hunt, and the county lord's mansion was suddenly empty yesterday. Nania may have cared about her brother and didn't go to the winter hunt.

And Faerun's circle is a bit strange, there are not many people he likes, all of them are concentrated in this courtyard, and Naria and the other mages are probably not very familiar with each other.

"Alright, let's go. Salin thought for a moment, since Feren was not there, he had nothing to learn, and it was nothing to do a favor. When Ania finds herself, she must need her own magical assistance.

Nania smiled, bared her tiger fangs, and happily took Salen out of Feren's yard.

Walking out of the courtyard, Salin found that except for the surroundings of this courtyard, the rest of the county lord's mansion was clean, and the ground was only a thin layer of fresh snow.

After living in the county lord's mansion for a while, Saleen has become accustomed to the luxury of the mansion, and when he looks at these house buildings, he no longer feels amazing. Maybe a person's temperament must also be cultivated in a certain environment, and now Salin will not show any surprised expression when he goes to any nobleman's house.

Salin sighed with emotion, when Viscount Guge invited him, the mansion ...... It's cheesy.

Passing through the courtyard, Salin and Nania walked side by side. As he passed through a garden, he saw several servants piling up dirt in a field.

"What are they doing?" asked Salin curiously. Magicians are studious people, and even what a slave does, there will be a lot of truth in it.

"I'm burying bamboo shoots. ”

"Bamboo shoots, this season?"

"Salin, you're from Scochenya, and you don't know what this Bitterwater County is like. It is cold in winter and dry in summer, and the well water is bitter. Before the county lord came, this place was very dilapidated. However, in addition to the fact that the grain is not very easy to grow, the products here are quite abundant. They bury a type of ice shoot that grows only in winter. The people of the swordsman camp have returned, and the county lord will feast the generals, this bamboo shoot is delicious, in order to keep it fresh, it has to be buried with soil. I dug it out when I had to go down to the kitchen. ”

"So particular......" Salin didn't continue, although he was poor since he was a child, but when he thought that he was the lord of the county, he naturally couldn't nibble on a black bread every day, according to his own habits, it was a little ridiculous.

"What kind of attention is this, if there is a war, those swordsmen will rush to the front. The county lord is just a little heart. What we usually eat may not be simpler than this. Nania explained to Salin.

"Fighting, there doesn't seem to be anything to fight in Kushui County, right?" Salin asked casually.

"I don't know, but my brother said that their tailors are rushing to make a batch of armor for use on the battlefield, and they have temporarily recruited hundreds of magic apprentices. If I hadn't been so busy, I wouldn't have asked you for help, because I was too much trouble for you. ”

Salin was taken aback, and he had to recruit magic apprentices to make the armor, and there were still hundreds? That is to say, the armor was to be enchanted? Even though it was the lowest level of enchantment, if all the warriors were to wear this kind of armor, the defense would increase several times. The battlefield is not a private brawl, and this large-scale weaponry is quite useful.

Could it really be a war? But the location of Kushui County is not close to the border at all, it is far away from the Principality of Garudan, and there are mountains hundreds of miles apart, and the troops cannot pass through it at all.
