Magic Fairy is the embodiment of Magic Web's will. It is a kind of magical life that is naturally connected to Magic Web. Their existence is only affected by single or mixed magic elements in the environment and has nothing to do with human will. Humans can use and transport Magic Fairy, but they cannot create or destroy Magic Fairy.

To communicate with Magic Fairy, big nobles can only hire Archmage. Archmage can connect with Magic Web and naturally feel the goblin's emotions and thoughts. To transport Magic Fairy, containers with the same attributes as the goblin are used, such as engraved sealing magic arrays on the eggshells of monsters to seal the goblin in the egg.

Seal excessive amounts of Magic Fairy to avoid the outbreak of a single element.

Landen received two Magic Beast Egg from Richie Duke. Inside are two sealed Magic Fairy, one is Earth Fairy and the other is Water-Grass Fairy.

Landen bought two goblins, and Richie gave them a 20% discount, two for 1600 Gold Coin.

But what is really important is that Richie obtained these two goblins directly from Fairy Queen, and other noble families did not know about it. As a Border Viscount, Landen hopes to hide his strength as much as possible, keep a low profile, and not let the nobles of Royal Capital bring conspiracies to their own territory.

"Boom"

In the afternoon, when Landen was visiting to return gifts to his neighbors, he saw black smoke rising from a block not far away.

"This Royal Capital's fire protection is average, and it's on fire." Landen rode his Magic Beast Horse Blaze and rushed to the place where the smoke was coming. He was also Court Viscount, so he should go and take a look.

Horse hooves stepped heavily on the twisted path, and Landen saw a three-story mud house on the street at the end of the alley, black smoke rising, and a large hole exposed in the outer wall.

Before Landen could see clearly, he only felt a heat wave, and a Fireball with a diameter of 1 meter came from the direction of Tsuchiya.

"Blaze!" Landen subconsciously passed Battle Qi to the war horse.

The Magic Pattern on Blaze instantly inspired a faint light, and a Wind Blade formed, surrounding Blaze and Landen like an air film. Landen immediately galloped towards Fireball.

Viewed from the air, the air film of Landen penetrated Fireball like a bullet. The sudden change in air pressure caused Fireball to explode like a punctured Water Ball.

"Boom~" The air wave blew up all the gravel and dead branches in the alley, and some rags and waste paper were ignited by the flames and kept falling.

The air wave knocked down a girl who looked like Intermediate Mage. A silver-white collar was exposed under her gray robe. She looked rich or noble.

"Let's go!" An old figure ran over from the earthen house and grabbed the girl.

"But?" The girl stood up with difficulty and pointed at Landen.

"Gandalf?" Landen looked at the old man's figure and recognized that this was the old Mage who was with him a few months ago.

"Ah, Lan... xu~" Gandalf naturally saw Landen and made a single gesture.

"Help us." Mage didn't say much, pointed behind him, and ran away from Landen with the girl.

"This Gandalf is not young anymore, but he still likes heroes to save beauties?" Landen teased in his heart,

Since it was Gandalf, let's take a look at the situation, so Landen continued to move forward, but unexpectedly, a Mage wearing a white robe emerged from the building again. As soon as this person staggered out of the big hole, he saw the oncoming Landen.

"Whoosh"

Look at Landen dressed as Knight, Mage did not hesitate, a Fireball with a diameter of less than half a meter flew towards Landen.

"Hoho" Fire School and Blaze of Wind School were enraged by such spells. They stepped heavily on the ground twice with their hooves, and a Wind Blade collided with Fireball.

"Stop him quickly!" Several Cleric came around from the other side of the house.

With a "boom", Wind Blade hit Fireball, and everyone was blown to the ground by the heat wave.

The white-robed Mage was just a beginner. He was also blown down and fell onto the gravel. The Fireball just now had exhausted his last bit of Magic Power.

"What's going on here? Who dares to be so presumptuous on Royal Capital?" Landen has no intention of dismounting. He is Patrol Squad Deputy Captain on Dragon Terrace Mountain. He just needs to show his superiority.

Two Cleric grabbed the white-robed Mage, and the leader ran over, "Sir, we belong to the Temple Alliance, and this person is a cult believer."

"Cult?" Landen was shocked. This group of people is obviously related to Gandalf. If they are a cult, then what is Gandalf?

"What kind of cult! I am a believer of Holy Fire. We believe in purity, fervour, and devotion. What kind of cult is this?" Mage in white robe kept shouting, "You lackeys of the church have controlled the faith and want to rob... ah..."

The two Cleric beat him violently, leaving Baipao speechless. Landen probably understood what was going on.

"Since he is a cultist, does he have a gang?" Landen asked pretending to be very concerned.

"Um" Cleric, the leader, was asked somewhat inexplicably, "There should be some. The news I got is that they have two gangs. Didn't you see it?"

"Oh? Where are the two accomplices? Then you have to search carefully. Don't let anyone escape. Are you a cultist? You can go in any direction. You must search carefully!" After saying this, Landen turned around and returned, ignoring a few Cleric who were stunned.

"Hey, sir, we have too few manpower. Can you help us?" Cleric, the leader, saw Landen leaving and wanted to use some manpower.

"This is Patrol Squad from Dragon Terrace Mountain. You have to go back to Dragon Terrace Mountain to be alert first." Landen left without looking back, thinking in his mind that it would be great if I don't make noises to you. What do you want Black-Scaled Horse?

What happened during the day refreshed Landen's impression of Royal Capital, so at night he called both Dugan and Tierney over to make arrangements for his return.

"You two won't stay here for too long. I hope to focus on rebuilding Night-Kirin City next year. Once Night-Kirin City starts repairing, you, Senior Knight, will be needed to lead the team." Landen looked at Dugan and began to draw pictures.

"Our Knight Order's last deputy leader, Intermediate Knight, I have already sealed Knight's claim. If my Night-Kirin City can run, I will seal him a land in the plain immediately." Landen said while watching the reactions of the two people.

"Fief Knight" Tierney muttered seriously, his eyes full of desire.

"What does the fief Knight mean? If I have the credit for recovering Night-Kirin City, my title will not be allowed to go any further." Landen looked at the two of them. "Then from now on, you will not be allowed to complete the title according to the level?"

"Sir, do you think I... can we have a title?"

"Gallop Plains is very big. Now Barbarian has listened to me. I have to find someone to settle down on the plains." Landen kept tempting, "So you have to take advantage of Royal Capital to improve."

"Yes, sir, we will definitely work hard!" Both of them nodded.

"I wrote a schedule for you. It includes what the caravan will do when it arrives and how many things to send to Bristle-Wolf City every month." Landen asked Frost-Wolf Family and Krilus to order a Space Ring for him yesterday.

In the future, Landen will hold one Space Ring himself, and the person in charge of Royal Capital and Bristle-Wolf City will each hold one, which will be mainly used to deliver the alchemy products produced by Landen and the Magic Beast Meat and Magic Grain feeds purchased by Royal Capital.

In addition, Dugan is also responsible for managing Landen's guards in Dragon Tooth City, allowing Reserve Knight to strengthen their training and take care of Barbarian's cavalry.

Tierney's main task is to improve himself. In addition, Landen promised him that if he wins Gallop Plains in the future, he can give his family a place where Low-Rank Mana-Wielder can have a place to stay.

Landen arrived at Bristle-Wolf City from Dragon Tooth City on the morning of Monday, December 25th.

After arriving at Bristle-Wolf City Count's Mansion's villa, Count's servant came over and invited Landen to see Count.

"Fernando has already told me. Thank you very much for holding him back at that time. You did the right thing. We Northwest Territory should not get involved in the disputes between Royal Capital and those people." This is what Count said as soon as he saw Landen. When Landen saw him, he was still half lying on a huge recliner.

Fernando and Ilanda were both beside Count, quietly listening to the conversation between their father and Landen.

"This is what I should do."

"I'm very happy that you can abide by our agreement at Royal Capital. I know that in terms of amount, you can only sell Iron Armor and Black-Scaled Horse here. You are definitely at a disadvantage.

But you also need to know that when it comes to Royal Capital, no matter who you sell to or not to, you are still taking sides.

As long as you stand in line, just like you gave Black-Scaled Horse to Prince Richie, you have shown your attitude of supporting him." Count's words clearly told Landen that he was aware of Landen's little actions, but he also admitted that Landen did not violate the agreement between the two.

"Sir, from the moment Dusen His Majesty decided to name me Court Viscount, I was forced to take sides." Landen didn't want to say that he was actually standing with Fairy Queen, and Richie was just on the surface.

"If I don't give Richie some valuable gifts, as Duke he wants to make me his Court Count, then I will be even more unable to escape."

"What?" Old Bristle-Wolf almost stood up. He didn't expect that Landen would be so popular. This only shows that the undercurrent of Royal Capital is more intense than he thought. Unfortunately, his old injury has relapsed. Now it is not easy to just maintain the most basic activities.

"It's hard for you. I'm afraid you can see that Royal Capital is far more complicated than us northwest nobles imagined. In the future, you will have to explore Gallop Plains. There is no need to spend all your experience on Royal Capital."

"Yes, Master Count"

"I heard that you and Gleia·Blue Dragon are not engaged?" Count said in a roundabout way, "What do you think of Ilanda? She is very much like her mother."

"Father!" Ilanda protested.
