In the blink of an eye.

Five days have passed.

Eight o'clock in the morning on the fifth day.

As the first rays of sunlight shone through the window into the bedroom, Archmage Sophia's eyes moved and slowly opened them.

She felt a little heavy in her head, but she was in good shape, only slightly thirsty.

Her personal maid, Emma, was gently wiping her face with a warm wet cloth.

Emma immediately noticed the change in Sophia and cried out in surprise: "Madam, are you awake?!" ”

"Water~" Sophia made a hoarse voice.

Emma immediately brought warm boiled water, which had been prepared twenty-four hours a day.

After drinking a few large mouthfuls of water, Sophia felt much more comfortable, moved her body, and found that she had some strength in her body, so she said, "Help me sit up." ”

Emma immediately complied, and put several pillows behind Sophia, covered her with the quilt, and carefully tucked the corners of her back.

Seeing her such a delicate and quiet appearance, Sophia's heart moved slightly and asked, "How many days have I slept?" ”

"Six days, ma'am."

"Chapolai defeated Vobos, right?"

Emma nodded slightly, and there was a faint hint of joy on her face, "Yes, ma'am." ”

Why is she happy?

Because she slept with Chapolais, and now that Chabolai is an earl, she will naturally have a good life in the future.

Sophia knew the maid's mind well and was used to it, so naturally she didn't bother to expose it, and asked, "What about Vopos?" Still alive? ”

"It's good to be alive, ma'am."

"Have there been mass killings in the Heights?"

"No, madam, everything is fine, the lives of ordinary people have not been affected in any way, and Silvermoon Castle is as prosperous and peaceful as it used to be."

Sophia was completely relieved, her nervous mind suddenly relaxed, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"I was right."

I felt the mana again, and found that the mana had weakened a lot, falling from the peak of the master to the middle of the master.

I can also clearly feel that my spirit is not as good as before, and after a little contemplation, I feel an irrepressible tiredness, as if I am ten years old.

Although I already knew that this was the result, when I really faced it, a trace of gloom inevitably flashed in my heart.

"Hey~ It's one step closer to the time to return to the kingdom of God."

After sitting for a while, I felt some strength in my body, and I struggled to stand up.

Emma hurriedly advised: "Madam, don't move yet, if you want to see someone, I'll report it now." ”

"If you're feeling hungry and you've always had a nutritious paste warm in the kitchen, you can bring it right away."

Sophia thought about it, and lay back: "I'm really hungry, go get some food." Also, call Malkyrie. ”

"Yes, ma'am, I'll go."

Emma, the maid, went at once to the door of the bedroom and informed the attendant who had been standing by the door, and she herself immediately returned to the earl's side.

After a while, the familiar sound of footsteps could be heard outside the screen, and then the voice of the housekeeper, Malkyrie, rang out.

"Ma'am, I'm here."

At the same time, two maids brought a plate with a peculiar plate of paste-like food.

It's weird, but it's also fragrant.

The aroma of food came, and Sophia became more and more hungry, so she said, "Wait a minute, Malkiri, I'm hungry." ”

Malkiri was very happy, because it showed that the lady was in good health.

"Madame, don't worry about me."

After eating a few bites of the peculiar paste, Sophia suddenly felt that the taste was somewhat familiar, as if she had tasted it faintly, so she asked, "Emma, did you feed me when I was unconscious?" ”

Emma nodded: "Feed, feed twice a day." But I didn't feed it, it was Mage Lawson who fed it with a mage's hand. ”

"Mage Lawson?"

"Gen Rosen said, although you are unconscious, your body still needs nutrients. And if you follow the traditional method of feeding only soup and goat's milk, I am afraid that before you wake up, you will die of hunger. ”

"But feeding porridge may choke the trachea, so Master Lawson used a spell to shake a lot of food into fine powder, and then fed it directly into the stomach with the mage's hand."

"Oh~~ He really has a heart."

The mush tasted a little like cream, but it wasn't greasy, and it tasted so good that she ate most of the bowl before she stopped.

With warm food in the stomach, the whole person suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and his strength recovered a lot.

"Tell me about what's going on these days, Malkiri."

Hou Li, the housekeeper behind the coral screen, began to introduce the events of these days one by one, and said them in great detail, exactly the same as before.

Sophia listened carefully, and after listening, she said, "So, Shapole, Vopos, and the major lords of the highlands are all in the Moon Garden?" ”

"Yes, the healing shaman of the temple said that your body is recovering well, and you may wake up at any time in the next few days, so everyone is waiting for you."

Sophia nodded slowly: "The Highlands do need a new earl." ”

This time, Chapolais' performance was much more than she expected, and she was satisfied, as she had long since grown tired of the count's work, and was now in a state of health that could not cope with the heavy work.

It's time for the younger generation to take over.

"Emma, I've got strength in me, dress me."

"Yes, ma'am."

With Emma's help, Sophia quickly put on a simple but decent dress.

"Malkiri, go and summon the lords to the Great Chamber, I have something to announce."

"Yes, ma'am."

During this time, Sophia was not idle.

With Emma's help, she paced back and forth in her bedroom to regain her physical strength as much as possible.

After about half an hour, Marchirie returned to the screen.

"Madam, your two nephews, the High Priest of Fao, the Acting President of the Mage's Guild, Master Bilgo, the Lords of the Highlands, and Mayor Lawson are already waiting in the Great Chamber."

"Emma, help me to the main hall."

"Yes, ma'am."

Her body was still weak, and her head still had a faint pain, so Sophia didn't use the mage's hand to help, but just walked slowly.

The short journey took a full quarter of an hour.

When she arrived at the Great Chamber, she found that there were already many people sitting at the Speaker's table.

Shabolai sat on the right side of the throne, looking bright, while Vobos sat on the left, with a gloomy face and a depressed expression.

As soon as she appeared, everyone in the hall rose to greet her.

After Sophia was seated, everyone sat down.

Sophia's gaze crossed everyone's faces.

There were a total of 9 people in the hall.

In addition to Vupos, the other 8 people can be said to be the existence with the highest status in the high ground.

She also saw Rosen.

He sat at the end of the long table in the conference, and when he felt her gaze, he smiled slightly, and his dark blue eyes revealed a clear and deep look.

With one glance, Sophia knew that the young mayor's mana had taken another big step.

She also knew in her heart that if there were no accidents, this young man would still make rapid progress until everyone present was far surpassed, until he rose above the clouds and looked down on mortal beings.

"I just don't know if he can rush to the top, break the extreme wall, and achieve extraordinary."

She had some vague anticipation.

Soon, she turned her attention to her two nephews.

"Shabolai, my dear nephew, do you have anything to say?"

Xia Bolai smiled slightly: "Let's let the eldest brother say it first." ”

Vobos glared at Shabolai angrily, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"Auntie, I've been unwell lately, and the temple doctor said that I need to recuperate for the rest of my life, so I'm afraid I won't be able to share your worries."

The answer is not surprising, and it is also the situation that Sophia wants to see the most, but she never wants Omyxia's children and grandchildren to kill each other.

Nodding, she said, "I agreed." ”

This is, the priest of Fao spoke: "Count, how are you doing?" ”

"Very weak, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue to bear the burden of the High Land Lord."

Sophia told the truth, she was really tired of being Count of Omixia.

The priest said, "Your nephew Shapole is in the prime of life, and he is full of energy in the spring and autumn, and I have also read your succession book. So, I also asked God for an oracle. ”

"God said that although Chapole has many flaws and a shabby past, he can change his mistakes, and he has the virtues of kindness, forgiveness, and honesty, and he can be the lord of the highlands!"

This means that Chapole has been approved by God, and he will succeed him as count, and the light of gold blessing on the God-given stone will not be extinguished.

Finally, there is the traditional procedure of the Highlands, which is the lord interrogation.

Sophia looked at the Highland Lords present.

"Lords of the Highlands, I elect Shapole as my successor. If anyone has any objections, they can raise them here. ”

"Lord Sarno, you come first."

This Sarno lord is naturally not Feren, but Electrolux's eldest son, Letley. Sarno.

He shook his head directly: "I have no objection, I think Shapole is very suitable to become the Great Lord of the Highlands." ”

At this time, the Sano family became a shrunken quail, and because of the fault of his uncle, he had to pay a huge amount of money to the Ormisian family.

The future of the family is bleak.

Next, respectively, there is Bilgo. Demetland, Baron La Fonter in the town of Ash, Baron Moro in the town of Fangu, Baron Dumont in the town of Riverside.

Everyone had no objections, and in the end it was Rosen's turn.

"Mayor Rosen, although you are not a true Highland Lord yet, you are already qualified to speak as a Highland Lord. Do you have any objections? ”

"I have no objection, ma'am."

"Good!"

Sophia raised her voice slightly.

"In the name of the god of gold, in the name of the glory of the House of Omisia, I follow the tradition of the Highlands, proclaim Shapole. Morality. Ormisia is the new High Lord and the ninth count of Themisia. ”

After this sentence fell, the dispute between the Great Lords of the Highlands also came to a complete end.

Some people are gloomy, some people are happy, some people are in mixed moods, and some people are full of excitement.

The wheel of time turned again silently.

Sophia said again: "I'm tired and need to rest." Count Chabolais, go ahead and preside. ”

"Yes, auntie."

Chapole's face was full of joy.

After respectfully seeing off Sofia, Chapole took the seat at the long table.

He directly raised the new topic: "Next, I announce the canonization of Rosen. Morality. Sir Ferrand is the lord of Crescent, and according to Highland tradition, anyone who disagrees can raise it here. ”

He asked, just as Sophia had done before.

Naturally, no one had any objections.

So, Chapole clapped: "Then, in the name of the glory of the Omisia family, I follow the tradition of the Highlands and declare that Rosen. Morality. Promoted from Sir to Baron, Philander is the Lord of Crescent Town, and has been guarding the northern barrier for the Highlands for generations! ”

The lords responded with a loud shout.

As a result, Rosen also transformed from the son of a robber herding sheep in the shimmering forest to a baronial lord who ruled over more than 30,000 people and 33,000 lands of Labang.

Intuitively, it is the size of a square with a length and width of about 25 kilometers.

In terms of a barony, it is very large, but it is not a good place because of its cold climate, barren land, remote location, and the threat of snow-capped mountains in the north.

At least not a good place to farm.

In short, there is still a long way to go from the pinnacle, but he has officially become a chess player in the golden chess.

Of course, only first-stage players.
