"That's great news!
In that case, you will receive the title and land on Andre's behalf. After all, the child in your belly is his direct blood relative, which completely meets the requirements of the aristocratic inheritance law. "After saying that, Elroy took out a piece of parchment from his chest.
"This is the land commission of the North County. Baron Iverson has just lost his best son, so he wants to leave this sad place. I have transferred him to the south. From now on, you are the mistress of this land.
As for the conferring ceremony, it will be held when we return to the capital. "
"Thank you for your generosity. I will protect this territory on behalf of André and take care of his family." Serena knelt on one knee and gave a standard salute.
Ever since she knew that André was not dead, the female knight had become a new person.
She knew how outstanding the young man's wisdom was, so she firmly believed that he would come back to find her soon.
After the salute, Serena quickly retreated into the cave. She needed a relatively warm environment as she was pregnant.
As soon as the female knight left, the king immediately asked the old man beside him, "Master, are you sure this is enough?
“
"Of course, Your Majesty.
Believe me, when this genius young man returns, he will definitely offer you his sincerest thanks. As long as we seize the opportunity, the Canteru Kingdom is likely to welcome a mage who is far more talented than Ulysses Domer. His future is simply limitless. More importantly, he must have taken away Ulysses' spellbook. There are extremely evil and powerful spells recorded there. If we can master them … "
As the howling cold wind became stronger and stronger, it completely covered the voices of the two people.
André, who was hundreds of kilometers away, did not know that Serena was pregnant with his child. He was touring around with the enthusiastic Alexia, admiring the prosperity and hustle of the southern coastal city.
After the leader Alger received the commission from the client, he immediately distributed the money to his companions and disbanded on the spot. From then on, the two of them ran from the north to the south of the city.
First, they went to the bazaar with a wide variety of goods. Then, they went to look at the huge sailboats and port in the dock area. Finally, they came to the shrine of the Goddess of Dawn, Lucia.
As he gazed at the majestic building made of white marble, Andre could sense the immense power contained within. It was an energy that was fundamentally different from arcane spells, but also somewhat similar. Just getting close to it would make one want to prostrate themselves in worship.
Through the understanding he had read in books, he knew that this was Divine Power, a power that belonged to the true gods.
In the land of Auraire, there were all kinds of gods. Some were evil, some were kind, some advocated order, some advocated chaos, and some believed that both sides were wrong and that neutrality was the only right path.
They saw each other as their enemies, fighting and scheming against each other. Mortals were also affected, fighting and killing on the ground.
Six hundred years ago, more than ninety percent of the gods had an unprecedented conflict for unknown reasons, which directly led to the death of millions of mortals. The earth was severely damaged. Forests became deserts, land sank into the sea, mountains became lakes, and so on. Even the gods died in large numbers in the fierce battle, which eventually led to the wrath of the king of the gods in the world, the God of Gods.
This unknown powerful god blocked the connection between the world of the gods and the mortal world, so now the gods could only rely on their priests and believers to interfere in the mortal world. The shrine was the place where they communicated with their priests and believers.
The Goddess of Dawn, Lucia, was a very kind goddess. Her teachings mainly promoted healthy exercise, positive and optimistic spirit, women's personal freedom, and the pursuit of light and so on. Most of the priests were naive young girls and mature women who had always been kind-hearted.
"Hey!
You've been standing here for half a day. Don't tell me you're fascinated by the statue of the goddess? "Alexia laughed and teased.
André shrugged and smiled helplessly. "No, I'm just wondering if the shrine can really cure my cough.
You have to know that this has been an old problem for three years. Generally speaking, the longer it is delayed, the harder it is to recover. "
"Well, don't think too much. The priests are the experts in this field. Come with me."
Alexia didn't say anything. She pulled the youth's arm and forcibly dragged him into the shrine. She went straight to a mature woman in her early thirties wearing a long robe and a ribbon in her hair.
When the believers who came to donate or worship saw this scene, they covered their mouths and laughed.
After all, most of them were girls in their twenties. This was the age when they were the most curious and gossipy.
"May I ask why the two of you have come to the shrine of the goddess?" The female priest gently stroked her long brown hair and asked.
Although her etiquette was almost impeccable, the slightly upturned corners of her mouth betrayed everything.
Alexia quickly poked André's chest with her finger and quickly replied. "Good afternoon, respected lady. My friend here will cough violently whenever he exercises too much. It seems that he has caught a cold. I hope you can take a look."
"A cold?"
The female priest immediately shifted her gaze to the youth's face. After a few minutes of careful examination, a trace of understanding appeared on her face.
"Hmm … It is indeed frostbite, and it has been for a long time …"
André was a little surprised to see that the other party was able to see through his body's illness so quickly. He then bowed politely. "Madam, may I ask if my illness can be cured?"
The female priest didn't hesitate and immediately nodded. "Of course it can, but it will be a little troublesome.
If you came here as soon as you got sick, then a level 0 divine spell 'Minor Injury Cure' would be able to cure you. But now it will take at least a level 3 divine spell 'Disease Removal' and a level 2 divine spell 'Moderate Injury Cure'. They are quite expensive, and I need to make sure that you have the ability to pay. "
"Ah ha!
Please don't worry about this. My friend is a mage, so he can definitely pay for the treatment. "Alexia didn't wait for the youth to speak before rushing to answer.
The girl had done this many times along the way. She basically said this to everyone she met, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't know that she knew a mage.
André only laughed at Alexia's desire to show off. But when it came to the treatment fee, he still asked cautiously, "May I ask how much it will cost?"
"According to the standard price of magic in Lincoln City, level 0 is fifty gold coins, level 1 is a hundred, level 2 is two hundred, level 3 is four hundred … You will need to pay a total of six hundred gold coins." The female priest didn't beat around the bush and directly gave an accurate price.
In her opinion, since the other party was a mage, he would definitely be able to pay this amount.
