Chapter 168: Willingly

"Then Lord Oron means—" Epps asked wistfully.

"Not what I meant, but what Her Royal Highness the Princess meant." At the mention of the princess, Archmage Oron's face was full of adoration,

"She wants the empire to regain its enterprising spirit, to open up the wilderness, and to thrive."

"......" Epps understood as soon as he heard it, but what did this have to do with him? Could it be that if he opened up the Green Bead Forest, he could lead others to open it up?

How is this possible! The development of the Green Bead Forest is not starting from scratch, but there is already such a foundation as the Savile Territory, and it is just a matter of opening up some to the south.

And what about the others? Needless to ask, Epps also knew that Archmage Orlon's development must be to go to the wilderness and start from scratch, and most of the land in the core area of the empire has been carved up.

If you want to become a new lord here, unless you become a Grand Arcanist, the Council of Severynton and the Arcane Federation may coordinate a part of the land, but the new lord will have to pay a price for this.

And the development of the wilderness is too tedious, even dangerous, and it is not without a great arcanist in history who has died in the wilderness.

As a result, most Rao chooses to join a full-fledged territory, or join the Arcane Federation directly.

The fact that there has been no new pioneer in the past 100 years also proves this. Even if Her Royal Highness the Princess has a high reputation and is a Grand Arcanist herself, but others are unwilling, can they still force it?

Yes, there are almost only a few pioneer territories far away from the core of the empire, including the Savile Territory, who have the desire to explore.

It may be that only when the core of the empire is completely saturated will there be a new wave of exploration, Epps thought irresponsibly.

He didn't want to get involved in a group of Grand Arcanists, but now he couldn't refuse.

"What does Her Royal Highness want me to do?"

"Someone's got a crush on your territory!" Archmage Oron suddenly said this. Epps was instantly stunned, but he also quickly reacted, Archmage Oron should not be a princess, but should be behind the recent series of events in the territory.

This kind of thing hadn't happened in nearly a hundred years since the Savile Empire was pioneered, and he hadn't thought about it before, but now that he thought about it, it was.

The Savile Territory is now as prosperous as most of the Empire's core regions, if not more prosperous.

And the exploration south of the Savile Territory is not very difficult, the most difficult orc tribe has been defeated, and the subsequent development is a matter of time.

Once the Green Bead Forest and the area to the Wolf Mountains were carved out, and the relationship with Connefila City was added, the territory was even stronger, an interest that a Grand Arcanist could not ignore.

Thinking of this, Epps broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly asked, "What does Her Royal Highness the Princess want me to do?" This time, Epps's attitude was not at all resistant, and he was willing to do something for the princess!

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Archmage Oron's eyes, worthy of being the descendant of the Archarcanist of Saville,

"Her Royal Highness will not ask you to do anything, on the contrary, she will help you in the next development." Even though he knew that it was impossible not to do anything at all, Epps was now determined to hug the princess's thighs, so how could he have any opinions!

Not asking for it would make Epps uneasy,

"Your Excellency Oron, whatever Her Highness the Princess needs me to do, Epps is always at your disposal."

"Good. It occurred to me that Her Royal Highness did have something she wanted you to do. ”

"Please!" Archmage Oron smiled,

"Lord Savile, don't be so formal, Her Royal Highness just wants you to accept a title at the right time, and you don't need to do anything else."

"Title? What title? Epps asked, confused.

"I don't know what title you ask me, but there will be news soon." Over, Archmage Oron added,

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, many people will accept this title when the time comes." In this way, Epps was even more puzzled, but in the face of an archmage, he didn't dare to ask again, just nodded in agreement.

If that's all there is to it, then not only did he not get punished, but he got a benefit from coming over this time, and Epps felt that it was all very dreamy.

After discussing the details of the expedition with Archmage Oron for a while, before leaving, Epps informed Abbeck and asked him to let out the news that the realm was about to host an arcane competition.

Despite the help of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Epps was not prepared to change the original plan, and just took the opportunity to give celebrations and arcane competitions to announce the relationship between the territory and the princess.

While leaving, Epps used the portal of the Arcane Federation to the territory of his grandfather's teacher, the Grand Arcanist Iorum.

…… At the same time, in the old town of Seuwenton, under the Giles Tower, not far from the palace. Princess Thea sat opposite a white-haired old man, with a spell projection between them, the previous meeting between Archmage Oron and Lord Epps on his throne

"Teacher, I'm a little uneasy." Princess Thea waved her hand to cancel the projection in front of her, and the last thing that appeared before the projection disappeared was the image of Archmage Oron respectfully saluting in the direction of her gaze.

"Xiya, you've done a good job, I'm still a hairy man at your age!" The old man said with a smile.

"However, I took the totem pole and caused trouble for the Savile leader, and when the Saville Grand Arcanist returns, will I-"

"Don't worry, Savile is not an angry person, if there is an accident, I will ask my old friend to persuade him, and besides, now that even Gustav has agreed, this matter is no longer something that one or two people can stop." The old man put away his smile, his face was complicated, he looked at the most endowed student in front of him, and his heart was worried, proud, and expectant.

Ascension—the thing that all Grand Arcanists dare to think of but not necessarily dare to do, and who may not necessarily have the strength to do, but Thea did it.

"Teacher, I'll apologize to Savile when he returns, but—no one can stop me." Thea's tone was resolute, her will climbed to the extreme, and a faint blue arcane brilliance even radiated from her pupils.

Looking at this scene, the white-haired old man once again sighed at Xiya's excellent arcane endowment. …… On the other hand, Xia Duo has received Pativrao's investment and is in a good mood, but he could be even better.

According to the contract, for every 1 level of his spell casting, his monthly salary will be increased by one level, which is 100 gold, and then he will have 200 gold every month.

He couldn't wait to go to the Mage's Guild certification level now. Although Xia Duo can only have a 1-ring spell now, the [Water Control] from the bloodline can also pass the certification, but reaching level 2 is his current limit.

In order to pass the level 3 certification, you must master any 2-ring spell, and before that, even if you have mastered thousands of 1-ring spells, you don't count.

In this regard, Xia Duo still has some regrets, because the bloodline ability [Water Control], water-related magic, he can concoct thousands at any time, it only depends on his imagination.

In earthly parlance, this is called change. However, these similar magics are of little value except for a few typical ones.
