Knight's Infinite Journey - Chapter 221 Letter
Yadimu expressed great satisfaction with this negotiation.
The satisfaction lies not only in the possessions but also in other things.
You know, in this place, the predecessor was very poor, including the predecessor himself who was not very wealthy.
After all, he was just an ordinary second-class apprentice, and it was impossible to say how wealthy he was.
After Yadimu came, although he had become a little stronger through hard work, his weak foundation was still there.
It is difficult to go further.
But with the help of kind-hearted people, we no longer have to worry about our finances.
More importantly, there are many things about mages in this world.
For example, some spell books, some information about this world, and most importantly, channels for contacting mages in this world.
This is the most important.
Cora has promised to serve as Artimu’s guide in the future and provide him with a series of services.
This is also her compensation for helping Marvin before.
At this time, Cora had scolded Marvin countless times in her heart.
If it weren’t for Marvin, she would never have ended up in this situation.
Fortunately, the other party’s asking price was not too high, otherwise she would have really lost blood this time.
This is the only fortunate thing.
If it happened again, she would probably kill Marvin directly without Yadimu taking action.
This way you can vent your anger.
But no matter what, after reaching this step, the matter has been revealed.
The atmosphere between the two became harmonious again.
After all, strictly speaking, the two of them don’t actually have any deep hatred.
Even though Cora accepted Marvin’s commission, she actually didn’t do anything.
This is the basis for the two of them to sit here well.
“How many mages are left on this continent?”
Yadimu asked.
After finishing the previous session, his attention gradually shifted to exploring this area.
Although the Morrowind State is the hometown of the predecessor, it is a completely unfamiliar place.
Even though Yadimu had inherited the memories of his predecessor, he didn’t know much about this area.
Fortunately, there was a mage from Morrowind in front of him.
“Compared to the center of the elements, it’s not too much.”
Korra was not surprised that Artimu was unknown.
After all, she had learned about some of Yadimu’s experiences and his situation through Marvin before.
“The area of Morrowind was once glorious many years ago, but it has become increasingly declining in recent hundreds of years.”
She said: “The concentration of elements here is getting thinner and thinner, the resource points suitable for producing various materials are getting fewer and fewer, and there are not many mages left.”
“Most of the young mages have left, and only some mages who are very old and can no longer move forward will stay here.”
She explained the situation here to Yadimu in detail.
There are many gathering places for mages in this world, and the morning wind beneath their feet is one of them.
But relatively speaking, this continent is relatively barren and has lost its past glory.
Mages still exist in this area, but they are becoming fewer and fewer.
According to Cora, third-level apprentices are already considered to be quite powerful here, and formal mages are already considered top-notch.
In terms of strength, it is far inferior to other places.
However, although there are no powerful mages anymore, there are still some powerful mages who remain here and have some influence.
The main purpose of these mage forces here is to regularly screen out talented mage apprentices here, so as to continuously transport them out and inject fresh blood into their forces.
But as a result, this continent has become increasingly declining.
There are already no strong people here, and those powerful organizations are constantly sucking blood here, plundering various resources and outstanding apprentices, so it is naturally impossible for this place to develop.
“I probably understand.”
Listening to Cora’s description, Yadimu probably understood.
Using the concept of the previous life, the area of Morrowind State was actually the colonization and product dumping ground of those large organizations to a certain extent.
Those powerful mage organizations are equivalent to the great powers. They use their powerful power and influence to control many things here, and at the same time, they continuously plunder various 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 and magic items and imported back to harvest the people on this continent.
Over time, this continent was unable to develop and could only become a cheap material input place and dumping market.
The mages who remain on this continent are either the spokespersons of various forces, or they are people who have no intention of making progress and just want to dominate this land.
Thinking of this, Yadimu’s face couldn’t help but become a little strange, and he felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
He shook his head, temporarily forgetting this inexplicable sense of déjà vu, and then said: “Do you think there will be any problems with Earl Tann?”
Although Marvin, Baron Knock, was obtained through some means, he had already obtained the consent of the de facto ruler of this area, Earl Tann.
He also seems to have a good relationship with the people around Earl Tann.
And now that Marvin is dead, Carlo wants to inherit the title of Baron Nok, but he also cannot bypass Earl Tann.
That’s why Yadimu asked this question.
“Generally speaking, there won’t be any problem, but Earl Tann’s situation is special.”
Cora said bluntly: “He is a person who only values practical interests. I am afraid he will not easily agree to your request.”
“If you want Mr. Carlo to inherit the title, I’m afraid you need to think of some ways.”
Compared to Artimu, Cora knew Earl Tann better.
This is a very pure nobleman who only cares about profit.
For this kind of person, it is useless for you to tell him about justice and inheritance.
You must let the other party see the real benefits before the other party is likely to let go.
Previously, Marvin had seen this characteristic of Earl Tann, so he spent a lot of money to bribe people around Earl Tann at the expense of borrowing from many people, and finally he was able to inherit the title of Baron Knock.
And now when it comes to Carlo, the situation is the same.
With the other party’s character, it would be fine if he inherited the title normally, but this is obviously not the case in Carlo’s case.
They had to kill Marvin, the former baron, to be eligible to inherit the title.
This gave Count Tann the excuse and reason to intervene.
After all, no matter how you say it, Marvin is also a baron personally appointed by Earl Tann, so he must give an explanation.
And this explanation can obviously only be justified by interests.
But the problem is that the Nok family today is no longer what it was before.
In order to inherit the title, Marvin had sold the entire Knock family before.
Now that it’s Carlo’s turn, he can’t sell his family again just to inherit this title, right?
Then what is left of the Nok family?
Thinking of this, Cora couldn’t help but look at Yadimu.
Under her gaze, Yadimu took out a letter.
“Please help me see if this is okay?”
Yadimu had prepared the letter a long time ago, but he never had the chance to send it out.
Now, there is a chance for people to appreciate it first.
Cora was stunned, then subconsciously reached out to take the letter and read the contents.
Then she couldn’t help but be confused and looked up at Yadimu in front of her.
As a mage, how could you write such a vulgar letter?
She couldn’t believe it.
There is actually nothing new in Yadimu’s letter, most of it is flattery and the like.
It’s just that the writing style is a little too good, every word and every word seems to have been streamlined, making it particularly special.
Especially the content, even though it seemed to Cora to be meaningless words and expressions of loyalty, the emotional arousal was very good.
It can be said that even if it was not Earl Tann himself, just Cora herself watching, she would feel a little excited and couldn’t help but be touched.
Such a letter, if it were written by an ordinary person, would not be surprising. At most, it would just be another person who is willing to flatter the superior.
But if it was written by a mage, then there would be a problem.
Mages have always been aloof, both in terms of style and strength.
Facing a mortal like Earl Tann, even if he had to bow his head to show respect because of his strength and resources, he would not take him seriously.
As for being so respectful and even flattering, that’s even more impossible.
Korra herself couldn’t.
And as a mage who is more powerful than Cora, Yadimu can actually do this without shame?
Or not a mage anymore?
She couldn’t believe it, and looked at Yadimu blankly. After a long time, she asked: “Did you write this letter yourself?”
“yes.”
Yadimu was a little confused: “Is there any problem?”
“No, there isn’t.”
Cora shook her head and said it was nothing: “It’s just too unexpected.”
Yadimu could probably guess what she was thinking, but he just smiled.
This is the difference in concept.
As a reborn person, Yadimu has a flexible bottom line in this regard.
Anyway, it’s just a matter of lowering your head and saying a few nice words, and you won’t lose a piece of meat.
As long as the goal is achieved, it doesn’t matter.
“But if that’s the case, it shouldn’t be a problem to come to Earl Tann’s place.”
Cora thought for a moment, then nodded and said.
A mage praised him so respectfully. As a mortal, Count Tann would probably be quite useful.
As a mage, Yadimu’s letter was not only a compliment, but also a subconscious hint and a sign of surrender.
If the other party still has visions of a powerful mage like Yadimu, he will not let go of this opportunity.
So from Cora’s point of view, this should be no problem.
As for the final result, let’s see what happens next.
At that moment, Yadimu called a servant and asked someone to deliver the letter.
