Chapter 220: Faith
Yadimu expressed his satisfaction with this negotiation.
Satisfaction is not just in possessions, but also in other things.
You must know that in this place, the predecessor was poor and white, including the predecessor himself, who was not very rich.
After all, he was just an ordinary second-class apprentice, and it was impossible to say how rich he was.
After the arrival of Artimu, although he became a little stronger after hard work, the weak foundation was still there.
It's hard to go further.
But with the addition of well-wishers, there is no need to worry about finances all of a sudden.
What's more, there are many things about the mages of this world.
For example, some spell books, some information about this world, and most importantly, a channel to contact the mages of this world.
That's all that matters.
Cora had promised to act as Artim's guide and provide him with a series of services.
This is also the compensation she helped Marven before.
At this time, Cora had scolded Marven in her heart I don't know how many times.
If it weren't for Marven, she wouldn't have been able to get to this point.
Fortunately, the other party's asking price is not too high, otherwise she would have really lost blood this time.
That's the only thing to be thankful about.
If she did it again, it is estimated that without Yadimu's action, she would directly kill Marven.
In this way, you can vent a thing or two.
But in any case, when it comes to this point, this matter will be revealed.
The atmosphere between the two became harmonious again.
After all, strictly speaking, the two actually don't have any deep hatred.
Even though Cora accepted Marven's commission, she didn't actually do anything.
This is the basis for the two of them to sit here.
"How many mages are left on this continent?"
Yadimu asked.
After finishing the previous session, his attention gradually shifted to exploring the area.
Although the state of Morrowind is the home of its predecessor, it is a completely unfamiliar place.
Even if Artimus inherited the memories of his predecessor, he didn't know much about this area.
Fortunately, there is also a mage from Morrowind in front of him.
"It's not too much relative to the center of the element."
Cora's unknown to Artimus was not surprising.
After all, she had learned about some of Yadimu's experiences through Marven before, and knew about his situation.
"Morrowind was glorious many years ago, but it has been declining for hundreds of years."
She spoke, "The concentration of elements here is getting thinner and thinner, and there are fewer and fewer resource points suitable for producing various materials, and there are not too many mages left. ”
"Most of the young mages are gone, and only some of the mages who are too old to move forward will stay here."
She explained the situation to Artimu in detail.
There are many mages in this world, and the morning breeze under their feet is also one of them.
It's just that relatively speaking, this continent is relatively barren and has lost its past glory.
Mages still exist in this area, but there are fewer and fewer of them.
According to Cora's words, a third-class apprentice is already a pretty good strength here, and a full-fledged mage is already considered top-notch.
In terms of strength, it is far inferior to other places.
However, although there are no more powerful mages, there are still some powerful mages left in this place and have some influence.
The main purpose of these mage forces here is to regularly screen out the talented mage apprentices here, so as to transport them out in a steady stream and inject fresh blood into their forces.
But as a result, the continent is declining even more.
There are no strong people anymore, and with the continuous bloodsucking of those powerful organizations here, plundering all kinds of resources and excellent apprentices, it is naturally impossible for this place to develop.
"Probably understood."
Listening to Cora's description, Artimus probably understood.
In terms of the concept of the previous life, the area of Morrowind is actually a colonization and product dumping ground for those big organizations to some extent.
Those powerful mage organizations are equivalent to the great powers, using their great power and influence to control many things here, while constantly plundering all kinds of resources belonging to this continent.
The resources belonging to this continent are imported into those large organizations, and then turned into many things such as potions, magic items, etc., and imported back to harvest the people on this continent.
In a flash, the continent could not develop, and could only become a cheap material import and dumping market.
The mages who remain on this continent are either the spokesmen of various forces, or they are some people who have no intention of making progress and just want to be powerful on this land.
Thinking of this, Yadimu's face couldn't help but become a little strange, and he inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu in his heart.
He shook his head, forgetting the inexplicable sense of déjà vu in his heart for a moment, and then spoke: "Do you think there will be any problems with Earl Tann?" ”
Marven, the Baron of Nock, had obtained the consent of the de facto ruler of the region, the Earl of Tann, although he had obtained it through some means.
He also seems to have a good relationship with the people close to Earl Tann.
And now that Marven is dead, Carlo wants to succeed to the title of Baron Promise, and he can't bypass the Earl of Tann.
That's why Artimus has this question.
"Normally, there would be no problem, but the Earl of Tann is in a special situation."
Cora said bluntly: "He is a person who only cares about practical interests, and I am afraid that he will not easily agree to your request. ”
"If you want Mr. Carlo to inherit the title, I'm afraid you need to find some way."
Cora knew more about the Earl of Tann than she did with Artimu.
This is a very pure aristocracy, bent only on profit.
For this kind of person, it is useless for you to tell him what is right and what to inherit.
It is necessary to let the other party see the tangible benefits, and the other party is likely to let go.
In the past, Marven saw this characteristic of Earl Tann, so he spent a lot of money and bribed Earl Tann's people at the cost of borrowing money from many people, so that he was finally able to inherit the title of Baron Nock.
And now in Carlo's case, it's the same thing.
With the other party's character, it would be fine if he inherited the title normally, but Carlo's situation is obviously not.
They killed Marven, the former baron, in order to be eligible to inherit the title.
This gave Count Tann an excuse and reason to intervene.
After all, Marven is also a baron personally appointed by Earl Tann, and must give an explanation.
And this explanation can obviously only speak in terms of interests.
But the problem is that today's Nock family is no longer what it used to be.
In order to inherit the title, Marven had sold the entire Nock family before.
Now it's Carlo's turn, can't he sell the family again in order to inherit this title, right?
So what's left of the Nok family?
Thinking of this, Cora couldn't help but look at Artimus.
Under her gaze, Artimus pulled out a letter.
"Can you help me see if that's okay?"
The letter had been prepared by Artimus a long time ago, but he never had a chance to send it out.
Now, there is a chance for people to appreciate it first.
Cora was stunned, subconsciously reached out to take the letter, and looked at the contents on it.
Then she couldn't help but be stunned, and looked up at Yadimu in front of her.
As a mage, how can you write a letter so vulgarly?
She was incredulous.
There is nothing new in Yatimu's letter, and most of it is touting or the like.
It's just that this writing is a little too good, and every word seems to have been condensed, which is particularly special.
In particular, the content in it, although it seemed to Cora to be meaningless and loyal, the emotional mobilization was very good.
It can be said that even if it wasn't Count Tann himself, just Cora herself watched, she felt a little excited, and couldn't help but be touched.
Such a letter, if it is written by an ordinary person, it is not strange, at most it is just another person who is willing to pat the ass of the superior.
But if it was written by a mage, then the problem arises.
Mages have always been high-minded, both in terms of strength and strength.
In the face of a mortal like Earl Tann, even if he has to bow his head to show respect because of his strength and resources, he will not take it very seriously in his heart.
As for being so respectful and even flattering, it is even more impossible.
Korra herself can't.
And Artimu, as a mage who is stronger than Kora, can actually give up his face to do this?
Still not a mage anymore?
She couldn't believe it, and looked at Yadimu in a daze, and only asked after a long time: "This letter. Did you write it yourself? ”
"yes."
Yadimu was a little puzzled: "Is there any problem?" ”
"No, no."
Cora shook her head, saying nothing, "It's just a little too unexpected." ”
Artimus could probably guess what was going on in her mind, but she just laughed at it.
That's the difference in perception.
As a reborn, Artimus has a flexible bottom line in this regard.
Anyway, it's just a matter of bowing your head and saying a few good words, and you won't lose a piece of meat.
As long as it achieves the goal, these things don't matter.
"But if that's the case, there should be no problem in coming to Earl Tann."
Cora thought for a moment, then finally nodded.
A mage is so respectfully touted that Earl Tann, as a mortal, will be quite useful.
As a mage, Yadimu's letter is not just a boast, but also a subconscious hint and a sense of refuge.
If the other party still had a vision for such a powerful mage as Artimu, he would not let go of this opportunity.
So in Cora's opinion, there should be nothing wrong with that.
As for the final result, let's see what happens after that.
At that moment, Artimus called a servant and asked him to deliver the letter.
