Gordon put away the Faceless Mask and the fist gloves that summon demons, and took out the dimensional bag that Grand Duke Antelo had given him. This is a relic given by the teacher, so naturally there will be no traps. Gordon opened the dimensional bag and took out a letter and a large parchment roll first.

There were no parting words in the letter, which was very much in line with Rob. Antelo's carefree personality. The Grand Duke only explained a lot of details to Gordon and asked him to help arrange various matters after his death.

The death of one of the three Grand Dukes of the Empire is bound to trigger a chain reaction.

The so-called people go to tea and cool, and other nobles with a little bit of power are probably like hyenas who have seen the corpse, dripping greedy saliva, ready to divide the wealth and power left by the Lord of Scepters at any time - even the royal family of Ferreton is no exception. And those peripheral forces that were previously attached to the Lord of Wands, but not the core, will definitely fly separately to find new protectors.

Only loyal followers of the Grand Duke, such as Count Julien, the lord of the Blue Water City, or close friends such as Cardinal Rudor and Fritz Grand Druid, will continue to side with the Antelo family.

Perhaps the Empire will posthumously crown the Grand Duke with the status of an Imperial Hero who sacrificed his life to save the entire Northland War, and then set a national mourning and a legal anniversary, and then praise the heroic deeds of this legendary mage in books and poems for years to come. But behind these illusory honors, there must be an ugly fight for interests.

Gordon, on the other hand, has to help the Grand Duke accomplish something. At least let his only daughter, Faria, not be affected by the hyenas who fought for the corpse. The simple-minded girl who didn't have the slightest understanding of the conspiracy between the nobles to fight for power. If there is no help, I am afraid that nothing will end well.

"It's a really big job. The thought of dealing with nobles who are good at power tricks makes me feel troublesome. Gordon sighed and put away the letter, which he had read twice.

Although he can be regarded as a human being in two lives, Gordon feels that in terms of his own life experience, if he talks about playing politics, he is definitely not the opponent of those Ferreton nobles. But he's a mage. There are many ways to go beyond the rules and play games with those politicians, so he's confident.

Then. Gordon unfolded the parchment scroll again.

This is a map of Ferreton one and a half meters long and one meter wide. It's not a military-grade map with a high degree of accuracy, but for a mage, it's a very accurate map for a mage. Map drawn by the Grand Duke of Antelo himself. But it has immeasurable value.

on the map. The Grand Duke marked the many ownerless fountains of mana that did not have a mage tower built, and detailed the size of these fountains, as well as the type of power.

For a mage like Gordon who has about a year to advance to the Sixth Ring at most, this map is the most important piece of information. Because after touching the sixth layer of the magic net, if the mage wants to go further and successfully advance to the ranks of high-level mages, then a mage tower of his own is absolutely necessary.

Gordon believes that if this map is circulated, it will be on the market. It will definitely be a precious treasure that countless mages flock to, and they have to get their hands on it by all means. Archduke Antelo was going to draw such a map. I don't know how much time and experience it took. It takes a lot of effort just to travel around Ferreton with a probe and discover the magic springs.

With such a map as a reference, Gordon was able to know what to expect when he obtained his own fiefdom.

There are five levels of Magic Fountain: Miniature, Small, Medium, Large, and Giant.

The flow of source energy provided by the Miniature Mana Fountain is so small that there are basically no mages who build a Mage Tower on top of the Mana Fountain at this level, and it is generally used to arrange magic circles, or some other purpose that requires a steady supply of magical energy.

The small mana fountain, which is the most abundant in the main material realm, is also the choice of most of the six-ring mages when building the mage tower. If a mage is lucky enough to find a medium-sized or even large mana spring, then breaking through the bottleneck and promoting to the seventh, eighth, or even ninth ring mages will be much smoother.

As for the Giant Fountain of Mana, it is generally only available at the headquarters of the larger spellcaster organizations. For example, on the island of Jiuyao, where the headquarters of the Arcane Federation is located, there is a giant magic spring. With the strength of one person alone, even if there is a huge spring of magic power, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it, and it will be taken away by others in a few minutes, and maybe even lose your life. This kind of strategic resource is definitely a hot spot for various countries and organizations to compete for.

The size of the Fountain of Mana means how much arcane energy a mage can use per unit of time, but scale alone is not enough. The properties of the Fountain of Mana also need to be considered.

A huge fountain of magical power that constantly spewed out a large amount of chaotic arcane energy was probably not a precious resource, but a big trouble, even a disaster.

Gordon scrutinized the map and quickly settled on a few of his favorite fountains of magic. He believed that with his active performance and achievements in High Rock City, he should have a great deal of choice when it came to obtaining a fief. Matters that ordinary lords need to consider, such as population, property, geographical location, etc., are not important to him. All Gordon needs is a good fountain of magic.

As for his future territory, Gordon already knew what he wanted to do. He put the parchment map away, then took the last item out of the dimensional pouch.

It is a crystal ball, similar to the ornaments Gordon has seen on Earth, and in the transparent sphere is a miniature landscape that forms a small world. But the difference is that the world inside the crystal ball in Gordon's hand is alive and dynamic.

At the foot of three bare mines, there is a group of tiny creatures busy. They are moving in and out of the mines, transporting piles of ore by guò carts. The ore is then thrown into the blast furnace, smelted into long strips of metal ingots, and stacked neatly.

Follow Rob. Archduke Antelo explained the use of the letter, and Gordon read a password, and a light flashed in the shelter of Leomon, and a palm-long metal ingot appeared in front of him.

It's a piece of pure gold.

Genuine pure gold.

This crystal ball contains a small world called the "Endless Metal Forge ". Rob. When Grand Duke Antelo was a legendary mage in his early years, he once appeared in a secondary plane while traveling in the plane. It's a world where there are no plants or water, just mountains. And under all the mountains, there is an almost endless amount of mineral deposits.

Archduke Antelo manifested a strange spirit creature associated with various metals in this plane, and named it "Iron Spirit". He then used a spell to cut a small piece of this subplane alive—three mines and a vacant lot, an area of about twenty square kilometers. He compressed the cut plane fragments into a crystal ball, then captured hundreds of iron spirits, put them into the crystal ball, and trained them to become industrious miners and skilled smelters.

This "Endless Metal Furnace" is capable of producing three precious metals: meteorite, mythril, and adamantite gold. Although the single-day output is not high, it is inexhaustible. With such a treasure, Gordon can come in handy when building his territory and forming his own armed forces in the future.

Aside from the Endless Metal Furnace, there were no other magical items in the dimensional bag given to Gordon by the Great Bus, only an astonishing number of precious gems.

In contrast to the Grand Duke's status as a legendary mage, the only magic item he left to Gordon was the Endless Metal Forge of Magic. It's not because he's stingy and reluctant to leave a little good for his students. As Gordon examined the gains, he quickly realized the teacher's good intentions.

As a legendary mage, Rob. The various magic props on Antello's body must have been continuously screened and optimized to be the most suitable for him, otherwise, they may not be useful to Gordon. For example, the magic props used to suppress the curse of the demon lord Azulu on his body must be very precious, but for the high-ranking people, they are useless.

Antello thinks that giving away a powerful magic item may be of great help to Gordon in the short term, but in the long run, it is easy for him to form a certain dependence, which is not conducive to development. Considering that Gordon himself has a wealth of alchemy knowledge, and has a very high talent in the fields of strange object making and item enchantment, what he lacks is only resources.

Therefore, the Grand Duke simply gave Gordon a lot of precious materials, as well as magic items that could produce rare metals indefinitely. This allows him to swing freely and create what suits him best.

Gordon can't wait to return to High Rock and turn his experiences and whimsy from Earth into amazing props.

But before he could do that, he had to get out of the Cold Mist Mountains first.

After a night's rest, Gordon woke up in the middle of the day. After a brief wash and some dry food, he walked out of the shelter. After observing the sun in the sky, Gordon blessed himself with a levitation technique, and then kept rising, rising.

Bless yourself with a Pengyu Angel Eye, Gordon's eyes are already comparable to high-powered telescopes. He observed the surrounding terrain and landforms, and finally determined that he was in the depths of the Cold Mist Mountain Range, and he was able to leave the mountains and return to the Far Frost Province after a straight line of two hundred kilometers to the west.

After determining his direction and direction, he set off.

Fortunately, there are various flying spells to assist, so the complex terrain of the mountains is not a problem for Gordon. The situation of "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse" will not occur.

Proceeding almost in a straight line, after five days, Gordon finally left the Cold Mist Mountains and came to the small town of Kebri at the foot of the mountain.

As soon as he walked into the town, he actually saw a huge oil painting of his sister Xie Ona, hanging high on the flagpole. (To be continued......)
