Lord Wizard

Chapter 23 Province of Lorraine

The Wizarding World.

"Once we pass the Dogg Highlands, we'll be able to see Lorraine City."

Knight Harvey, who was leading the way, reported to Lin Meng with a smile.

Looking at the wide official road and the caravans traveling not far in front of and behind the knights, Lin Meng nodded: "Lorraine City truly lives up to its reputation as the capital of the Lorraine Province. Even from this far away, you can already feel its prosperity."

"Lorraine has a permanent population of nearly 200,000, which is considered one of the top cities in the country. The Marquis has vigorously developed commerce, and caravans from all over the world come in an endless stream."

He proudly introduced his hometown of Harvey when it was mentioned.

"drive!"

At this moment, a group of knights ran towards Lin Meng's direction, and the caravans traveling on the road all made way to avoid them.

Upon seeing the Marquis's banner on the knight's back, Harvey quickly explained, "He's a messenger from the Marquis's mansion."

"Whoa!"

The knights stopped several dozen meters in front of Lin Meng and his companions, dismounted, and respectfully asked, "May I ask which one of you is Lord Leylin?"

Lin Meng slowly stepped forward: "Yes, it is. Does Your Excellency have any instructions?"

Upon seeing Lin Meng, one of the knights who had been standing knelt on one knee: "The Marquis, having learned that you had arrived at the Dog Highlands, personally came to the city to welcome you. The area within five miles of the city has now been completely sealed off, and he has ordered his subordinate to come and guide you."

Harvey's eyes widened slightly, surprised that the Marquis valued Baron Leylin so much.

"Lord Alfonso is too kind. It is an honor that he personally came out of the city to greet us. We cannot keep him waiting. Pass on my order to speed up our advance."

Lin Meng immediately gave the order.

"Yes, sir!"

Harvey dared not delay for a moment, and roared at the Silver Knights behind him, "Full speed ahead!"

The Dogg Highlands are only about ten kilometers from Lorraine City. Lin Meng and his group, who were moving at full speed, crossed the highlands in less than half an hour. In the distance, a huge city lay like a tiger beside a river.

This enormous medieval city was breathtaking in its grandeur.

Compared to Lorraine, both Carol and Winterfell are far inferior, not to mention small places like Denor Castle and Thorntown.

After passing through the soldiers' blockade, the crowd at the city gate could be faintly seen.

Nearly a hundred people stood in a line at the city gate to welcome them. Leading them was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes with an extraordinary demeanor. Behind him were two elegantly dressed women and several children, the older ones looking about fifteen or sixteen years old and the younger ones only a few years old.

Further on were numerous officials, generals, and even some minor lords dressed in aristocratic attire.

"Lord Alfonso, it's been a long time."

Lin Meng dismounted and took the initiative to greet him.

This was the first time he had met Nero in the game. Although they were strangers, they could easily tell who was the ruler of Lorraine Province just by looking at where everyone was standing.

"Why are you calling me 'sir'? Have you forgotten what we said before? Call me 'elder brother'."

Nero said with a smile.

Lin Meng knew that Nero was deliberately showing how much he valued him in front of outsiders, so he immediately replied, "Yes, brother."

"Haha, that's right. Come on, let me introduce you."

After Nero finished speaking, he turned around and introduced the women and children behind him to Lin Meng: "These are my two wives, Jennifer and Hylan, and my children, Nikan and Nino..."

"Greetings, ladies."

Lin Meng bowed to the two of them.

The two ladies, along with their children, hurriedly returned the greeting.

Before they arrived, Marquis Alfonso had repeatedly instructed them to treat Lin Meng as they would treat him, so the group naturally dared not show the slightest arrogance of the Marquis's wife.

"This is my most capable assistant, Grand Knight Mien, and Governor Jess."

After introducing his relatives, Nero led Lin Meng to two officials, one a civil official and the other a military official.

Grand Knight Mien's strength is beyond doubt, and Governor Jess's strength is no less. He could vaguely sense a similar aura of a peak knight like Henry in him.

"This is Gertner, you know him."

At this moment, Nero smiled as he introduced another man.

Lin Meng understood; he was Gertner, another top knight member of the third squad of Blue Flame Company. However, he did not expect that he would use his own name in the wizarding world.

"We meet again, our genius knight."

The two gave each other a warm hug.

Afterwards, Nero introduced Lin Meng to the leading figures in various industries in Lorraine, and Lin Meng responded to each of them in turn.

Seeing how much Marquis Alfonso valued Linmon, these important figures in the province of Lorraine dared not underestimate him in the slightest, and responded with great enthusiasm, creating a harmonious atmosphere at the city gate.

"Now that we're here, we'll have a good time sightseeing with you, brother. Come on, let's go into town."

Nero ushered Lin Meng into his private carriage, and then gave an order for everyone to enter the city. Order was gradually restored at the city gate of Lorraine.

As the lord of the province of Lorraine, his mansion was built like a castle...

Do not!

This is a castle!

A fortified stronghold that only requires one or two thousand people to defend, and even tens of thousands of people might not be able to breach it.

"It's truly magnificent."

Lin Meng sighed.

"Haha, what's this? Your talent and potential far surpass mine. I believe you will definitely be able to build an even more magnificent castle of your own in the future."

Nero said with a smile.

He led Lin Meng and his party into the castle, and then he and Gertner pulled Lin Meng into the study.

Knowing Nero's cautiousness, Lin Meng did not hesitate and took out a box directly.

"Captain, please inspect!"

"good!"

Nero opened the box, his face quickly lighting up with joy: "It really is a Jade Fruit! With this, I can save myself another year or two."

"Our qualifications aren't that great, and I don't know how you are, Lin Meng. If you can make something of yourself in the wizarding system, your future is limitless."

Geertner remarked with some emotion.

"We'll know the specifics in a couple of days. I received a message from the company a few days ago that the professionals who will test the qualifications should be arriving soon."

Nero Road.

"Hopefully it won't be too bad."

Lin Meng was somewhat uneasy.

Nero and Gertner were not very talented, ranking as level two in the highest five-level talent assessment, which is considered low-grade. It would be extremely difficult for someone with such talent to become a wizard.

This is also why they have been hesitant to apply to go to the Central Continent.

Have confidence.

"By the way, besides testing my qualifications, there's another thing I'd like to ask the captain for help with."

Lin Meng suddenly said.

"Oh, go ahead."

"I currently control Thorntown and Ubabo territory, but my title is still only Baron. Therefore, I wish to purchase the Goron Mountains, which border the Woodtooth Mountains, to advance my rank to Viscount. Could you perhaps ask the Captain and Earl Perron, the ruler of the Goron Mountains, to persuade me?"

Lin Mengdao.

"The Columbia Mountains?"

Nero thought for a moment about the geographical location of the Golan Mountains and said, "What do you need that barren land for? The precious minerals in that mountain range have been completely mined out. If you really want it, I can ask around for you. It's not difficult to get it, but it will cost some gold coins."

"Thank you very much then. It's only right that you use some gold coins."

Lin Meng said politely.

"It's nothing."
