Chapter 1,285 Return to the Southwest

,!

The wild area in the cognition of lost land is the southwest peninsula beyond the world's border mountains.

It's a big place, but it's the place Lin is most familiar with. Because he had used his own feet to travel throughout most of the southwest peninsula, dealing with troubles that ordinary adventurers didn't want to deal with, and accumulating initial funds.

He also suffered the deepest betrayal in this most familiar place. Everyone he trusted and was regarded as a companion abandoned him. In the end, he could only leave with his apprentice and an equally homeless lich.

Now that he is back, he doesn't have the feeling of returning home in fine clothes or the return of a king. Maybe it's because he never regarded this place as his hometown, just a journey in his life. His hometown is billions of light-years away, an Earth that definitely exists but is not sure whether it belongs to him.

So when he came back this time, Lin did not go to the Xijia District Branch of the Magicians Association, which he was most familiar with, or the Tower of the Great Sage. He was invited by the great magician Juan Javier to go directly to his country, the Kingdom of Huelva. The purpose is of course for the construction of banks.

Speaking of the current development of banks, there is a very interesting phenomenon. Basically, those who come to visit are either nobles or local wealthy businessmen.

As the three major organizations in the Lost Continent, the Magician's Association, the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary's Guild have never contacted the Gold Goddess for the purpose of building a bank. The latter two are just intermediary organizations, which is nothing to say. But in some places, the Magician Association has a ruling power comparable to that of the nobles, and is recognized as a lord. But they still had no contact with the goddess.

This may be related to the structure of the association. The parliamentary resolution method is always slower than the aristocratic resolution method. It has only been more than two months since the Great Holy Emblem of Ko Yin, which was temporarily placed in the Technology Guild, came out. It is not enough for those who have the right to vote in the parliament to divide the benefits that have not yet been obtained.

Speaking of which, this is also a bit ridiculous.

In short, his old friend Juan came to help him, not his teacher, the president of the Magician Association of the Leon District Branch. Instead, he helped his cheap dad who couldn't be called dad, the king of the Kingdom of Velva - Hahn IV.

The king married his mother, a widow, but did not recognize his son. Therefore, Juan is not ranked in the king's succession order. He only has the Javier family name on his biological father's side. However, this small problem is nothing before the huge disparity in strength.

Juan has so far been recognized by six branches of the Magician Association and has been awarded the title of Grand Magician. In the eyes of most people, he already has the qualifications to become a Dharma Saint. As long as Juan is willing to travel around the world and gain recognition from more regional chapters.

But this once romantic prodigal didn't care about such things. He would achieve six recognitions, simply riding the wave of his own adventurous journey. It is not in line with his character at all to ask him to deliberately travel in order to be canonized as a Dharma Saint.

As for the other position, that is, the throne of the president of the Magician Association of Leon District Chapter, it is recognized by everyone as the possession of this great magician. There is no other reason. There is no one who can fight better than this Prince of Elements.

Of course, personal connections are the key to getting into that position, but once the strength reaches a certain level, as long as Juan doesn't explicitly refuse, no one will come forward to compete with him. After all, no one wants to be knocked on the door and dragged out of the house like a dead dog. Juan Javier was named the Great Magician, but he was stained with a lot of blood.

It can be said that there is hope to sit on the throne of the president of the magicians association branch. Who would care about the position of a king? You must know that the Kingdom of Velva is just one of the thirteen small kingdoms included in the Leon District Chapter. In terms of strength and scale, the Leon District Chapter can be considered a behemoth compared to the Kingdom of Velva.

But when he really wants to do something, this great magician still likes to go back to his hometown to show off his skills. For example, after someone left, the magic academy established by Juan, and the introduction of banks this time.

News from the bank could not reach the southwestern peninsula of Midi. Because this place has no direct connection with the holy city of Estali, it is quite far away from the territory of the Gwana Empire, and it has nothing to do with even the five elven kingdoms. The nearest Elf Kingdom is also on the other side of the mountain range called the World Border.

It's just that Juan is very concerned about the news in the Holy City, or in other words, he is very concerned about the magician, so he learned the information related to the bank. In fact, the magicians who also followed the news of the Holy City through the forum immediately noticed the so-called bank and spread the news.

As for why he pays attention to that magician, it's not that he has any ulterior motives. Juan is very sure that he likes a woman, and he has a very considerate wife.

The reason why he paid attention to that magician was because Juan followed him to the wind elemental world. And after following the robot fleet to the fire elemental world, he found that it was difficult to ignore the movements of the magician.

With the alias "Prince of Elements", he is certainly extraordinary in his attainments in elemental magic. However, some time ago, the earth elemental elves seemed to be separated from the lost land and could not contact anyone at all. Although earth element magic can still be used, its power is far less than before.

Juan thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that one possibility was that the earth elemental elves collectively transformed into another life form, and it was very likely that an elemental elf king or the lord of the four elements had already appeared.

But a trip to the elemental plane and a type of war that was completely different from the lost land made him realize that the impossible seemed to come true. And it was not accomplished by the lich that he did not dare to provoke, but by the magician who he had regarded as a friend from the beginning, but who had a mentality of befriending the weak.

When the person who was once considered weak in his eyes turned around and became someone he must look up to. Juan Javier didn't have any jealousy or hatred in his heart. Instead, he silently and sincerely blessed his friend and then paid attention to him.

It would be great if I could get something I need from him. With this idea in mind, and the support of his wife who is good at prophecy, Juan started the airship diplomacy a while ago, and followed someone to the elemental plane several times.

The harvest was much greater than expected. Even now, Juan still hasn't fully digested what he gained. Not to mention building on it and taking it to the next level.

Now the news about the bank came into Juan's eyes again. After he got a little familiar with it, under the instruction of the cheap father, he extended an invitation to someone. He had personally experienced the power of Flash Technique. Therefore, Juan never thought of sending the now greatly modified airship Gauss Bertone to pick up the people.

Although the New Gauss Bertone flew at full speed from the southwest peninsula of Midi to the holy city of Estali, it no longer took more than half a year as it did in the past. But no matter how fast it is, it is not as fast and convenient as someone's flash technique. So let people come over by themselves and save both of us time and effort.

Based on Juan's understanding, someone's Flash Technique can silently travel back and forth between the Earth and the Elemental Plane; the distance from the Holy City of Estali to the Southwest Peninsula is nothing.

And this is also true.

Lin, who was invited, stood in front of the palace gate of the Kingdom of Velva. It's not that he can't just go in and find someone, it's just that it's impolite to do so. Therefore, as long as he did not obtain the permission of the other party or the two parties were hostile, Lin Du would still stick to his status as a guest. It's your own business to save time on the road. It would be foolish to treat it as a convenience.

Juan Javier and his wife, Annemarie, who was also his student, came to greet him. The acquaintances on both sides greeted each other casually, and Juan asked warmly: "You came so quickly. I thought you would have to spend some time looking for a place."

"It's not that difficult to find it from the sky. And the goal of the palace is obvious enough. You can't go wrong if you look for the one with the most flags and the biggest house. If you make an appointment at some inconspicuous place, it will be much more troublesome. . If you think I move too quickly, it’s probably because I’m here early.” Lin smiled.

"It's not early. It's just right. The old man and the other brats are here, and several ministers whom the old man trusts haven't left yet. I just want to talk to them. Let them have more time to think about how the bank should operate. After that, we will slow down Let’s take a moment to reminisce about the past. Do you plan to revisit the old place this time? There are no plans for the Gauss Bertone during this period, but you can let it help you save face. Oh, by the way, my teacher really wants to meet you, but he has been No chance. Are you going to meet that old guy with me this time? By the way, no one else followed you back?" Juan led the people into the palace while throwing out a series of questions.

Lin was not overwhelmed by so many questions. He knew that this was a sign of the elemental prince's happiness. Otherwise, in normal times, this great magician who used to be so suave would behave appropriately in dealing with people and affairs, making people feel at ease.

Otherwise, with the blood on the hands of this great magician, if there are not enough friends, there are enemies everywhere, not to mention that he has a title, and the teacher is the president of the branch of the Magician Association. As long as they dare to step out of the protective circle, there will be people who dare to risk their lives for revenge.

But you still have to give the answer, otherwise you will be baptized by Juan with repeated questions. Lin smiled and replied: "When we start a bank, we still have a lot of things to do. It's more convenient for me to travel alone, so I don't have to find anyone else to accompany me. We are magicians, not as delicate as nobles, and we don't have any entourage." If you go out, you won’t even be able to live.”

Fen, as usual, ignored things that had nothing to do with her, so the bank-related work could not be piled on her. On the other hand, it is my three apprentices. Although the specific bank affairs are handled by the elves, it is also to make the elves more familiar with its contents. But the deployment of personnel was arranged by those Halumi and Kaya; even Leonardo helped out, running errands and so on.

After hearing someone's answer, Juan laughed and said, "Haha, that's true."

Lin added: "It's okay to meet your teacher, so I'll ask you to arrange a time. As for revisiting the old place, forget it. Things are so busy, and I don't have much fun. Her Majesty, the goddess, is chasing after me."

Looking at the person in front of him with interest, Juan suddenly asked: "How big is your plan? It's not just a trivial matter like a bank, right?"

"hehe."
