My magic can merge

Chapter 10
Merck took the handkerchief handed by the maid and wiped his mouth, then changed into a set of clean and delicate clothes, and hurried downstairs to meet the count.

Earl Annika Chapman waited quietly outside the castle with a cane in both hands, eyes closed.

Thirty light cavalry followed behind him, looking around vigilantly to prevent possible risks.

As soon as he opened the gate of the castle, Merck caught a glimpse of Count Anika in the crowd.

There is no way, this fat man in a robe with gold patterns is too eye-catching.

There is a feeling of a group of pigs standing upright.

Annika also noticed him at the same time, slowly opened her eyes, and at the same time showed a standard aristocratic smile.

The face with excess fat was instantly covered with creases, resembling a meat bun.

And this steamed stuffed bun is still leaking oil!
But don't be deceived by his friendly appearance, he is an intermediate fire magician with a level of more than 30, and his strength is not weak.

"Lord Earl, why bother you to come to this border town, just send someone a message."

Merck also had a professional smirk on his face.

"I haven't seen you for so many years. You kid has grown into an adult, and I'm an old man too."

The earl's tone was a little sighing, but there was some truth in this sentence.

"I already knew about your father's heroic deeds, and I later reported to His Majesty the King, and His Majesty awarded your father a bronze warrior medal."

Cut, what does it have to do with you? Losing the war is one of the means used by the old king to win people's hearts and consolidate his rule, but all the nobles who died in battle have medals.

It doesn't do much, but it's cheap.

Kidnapping me out of morality, asking me to owe you a favor?But if I don't have morals, you can't kidnap me.Merck kept slandering in his heart.

"Father? What happened to father? I just escaped from the Lost Forest, and I haven't learned the situation from Uncle Nubis yet."

"Viscount Lucis has followed in the footsteps of the God of the Stars to another country without any disasters. He is a brave warrior. You should be proud of him, my child."

Anika patted Merck on the shoulder and said comfortingly.

Originally, Merck had no waves in his heart, and he was thinking about how to act sad, but the soul of this body was suddenly touched, and sad emotions filled his mind, and tears flowed down like a bank.

The crystal tears exuded a faint chill, and fell on the ground to form pieces of ice flowers.

Annika stroked Merk's head and let out a long sigh.

"Your father will be very proud to see your current magical achievements. You should be an apprentice frost mage, right?"

"Yes, I am now a level 11 professional."

Merck wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and said with a sob.

But Anika frowned slightly, and said sternly: "However, your frost energy is not pure, it is a bit mixed, it should be something wrong with your own cultivation, after a while I will show it to the frost teacher of the Magic Academy in Keremu Province Depends on your situation."

Merck was a little panicked. The mages of each department are actually not the same, especially the two departments of ice and fire.

Whether it is the magic structure or the energy matrix that releases the magic, it is very different.

So Merck is not afraid of Anika's inspection, but Teacher Frost will definitely see something abnormal if he observes carefully, and his identity as a necromancer cannot be revealed yet.

"No need, Lord Earl, I have already found the source of this mixed energy. It is estimated that my cultivation speed is too fast and my foundation is unstable. I just need to pay attention to laying a good foundation."

"Okay then, pay more attention to yourself, cultivation is long, so don't rush."

"Merke respectfully follows the earl's instruction."

He was also a little curious, this Anika would not go there to give a medal to a dead person and comfort herself, and this smiling miser was not so sentimental, but he couldn't ask if he didn't mention Merck.

"Your Earl, you have been exhausted on the journey, go to the castle and rest for a while. In the evening, I will ask the chef to kill the cow so that the brothers can satisfy their hunger."

"That's not necessary. I still have some important things to deal with and I need to go back to the territory to deal with them. I don't need dinner. I'll leave after I finish talking."

Anika waved her hand back, and the cavalry behind her immediately withdrew for more than a hundred meters, forming a blockade line.

"Son, you are the only son of the Donner family. Your father died in battle. According to the laws of the empire, the title succession is automatically downgraded. You will be awarded the title of baron by me."

Then, Earl Anika stopped talking and looked at Merck quietly.

Merck froze for a moment, waiting for Anika's next words, but suddenly remembered that he was waiting for his allegiance.

Although this kind of allegiance is very formal and has no loyalty at all, it is still passed down to this day.

Anyway, existence is reasonable.

Merck knelt down on one knee, making a gesture of stroking his chest with his right hand.

"God of the stars, I, Merck Donner, would like to devote my life to the Chapman family, to the empire, and never forsake."

"Okay! I, Earl Annika Chapman, now officially confer on you the title of baronet. I hope you will abide by today's oath in the future."

"Get up."

Merck stood up slowly, waiting for Anika's next words.

"How do you feel about Noril Town, do you really like it here?"

Merck didn't respond to this question, but he still said: "This is the place where I grew up, and I will guard it with my life."

"very good."

"It stands to reason that the title of baronship cannot seal a border town as a territory. Your territory can only be a village under the jurisdiction of Noril Town."

"However, many nobles in the empire were killed and injured this time. I think your father's loyalty and meritorious deeds will allow you to inherit this territory as a baron."

"However, if a baron inherits the town of Noril, he will definitely be opposed by the empire. After all, the ancestral system cannot be abolished. It still takes some gold coins to open up the joints of the empire."

Merck was stunned, did he ask for money for co-authoring?
Is it so blatant?Where is this wanting, this is robbing!And it sounds like this means a lot, otherwise why would an earl come in person.

It took Merck a moment to greet Anika's family with kindness and friendliness.

But he could only pretend to be grateful and replied: "My lord, that would be too much trouble for you. How many gold coins do you need? But the remaining gold coins in Noril Town are used to buy ordnance to deal with werewolves."

Anika spread out her hands, her tone a little helpless.

"No trouble, no trouble, but at least five hundred gold coins, of course, the more the better, after all, the group of nobles in the empire are greedy and only have interests in their eyes."

"If it's not enough, then I can't help it. All my gold coins have been spent on this damn war. Even if I want to help you advance, I will be powerless."

Hey! You are the one talking about greed!

He, tui!
