Before ascending to God, be a good lord

In White Tree City, the southernmost part of the Northwest Territory, black smoke pillars filled the air all over the city, and the unique screams of griffins continued to echo in the sky.

A huge griffin suddenly jumped from the ground to the sky, throwing down a black shadow with its four claws, then hovered over the Lord's Mansion, and finally landed on the magic tower next to the main building.

Grand Knight Susie Lanyuan jumped off her mount and walked to the side of the two girls. One of the girls was wearing a blue robe common in Galloping Horse Academy. There was also a Lanyuan family-specific emblem on the collar. At a glance, one can tell that the badge is the most outstanding mage among the aristocratic children of Galloping Horse Academy and the granddaughter of Richelieu, the Prime Minister of the Dragon Kingdom: Britt Lanyuan.

The other one was tall and tall. Her coarse robe covered most of the identifiable decorations, and her large hood blended her facial features into the shadows.

"Britt, this is pocket money for you. You and Frederic have a lot of expenses in school, and you have to make more friends. You can take this money first. There are also some potions and alchemy products in it. , they are all from the imperial capital and can be given to the students in the imperial capital." As soon as Susie walked to Britt's side, she stuffed a space ring into her hand, and then stuffed another one into her hand where Britt couldn't see it. Another girl was given a space ring.

"Sister, this is not good! I will reach the intermediate level of mage soon, and I can make money quickly!"

Britt had a bit of embarrassment on her face. There were thousands of gold coins in the space ring, and various magic pattern products were also worth thousands. Even though Britt was already a leader among the mage students in the academy, she wanted to earn It will still take several years to produce so many gold coins.

Looking at his sister's look, the great knight smiled: "Take it, Marquis Lant will be able to maintain peace on the western border before the end of the year. It is only the most basic thing to create a duke by then. You must ask Frederic to be promoted by then." When you reach the intermediate level or above, you should at least obtain the status of a baron."

Although the Lanyuan family is not a real aristocrat, it has been able to hold the position of Prime Minister of the Dragon Kingdom. In addition to extensive marriage alliances and talent expertise in space magic, mutual support among family members is also an extremely important reason.

As Prime Minister Richelieu Lanyuan's important layout on the Galloping Horse Plains, the two young men of the family, Britt Lanyuan and Frederic Lanyuan, shoulder more family expectations and will naturally receive more resources. .

"I know," Britt nodded obediently, then hesitantly took out a ruby-encrusted space ring from an embroidered bag and handed it to the girl next to Susie.

"This is what you want. I've prepared it. A potion that promotes the perception of magic has three reagents mixed in a ratio. That Willis next to you should be able to prepare it."

Looking at the opposite person who smiled and took the ring, Britt did not forget to say, "There is also a list of the newly arrived slaves who have more potential. Most of them are Auxiliary Army and Xiaohong Among the administrative staff and attendants who want to enter the castle, I specially selected the people you can approach."

"Of course, thank you Britt, you are always so considerate." The girl put down her hood, opened her arms and hugged Britt. If there were other students from Galloping Horse Academy present, they would ask in surprise: Dan Dillion, haven’t you always been at odds with Britt Lanyuan?Why did he come to be photographed alone with her?
Britt obviously knew that staying too long in White Tree City would arouse suspicion, so she gave the two girls a few more instructions and left alone, leaving only Dandelion and Suzy on the roof.

"I never expected that such a kind-hearted child would appear in our family. Ever since she knew who I was, she has been trying to find ways to support me." Dandelion sighed with a smile after watching Britt leave. "Are you scolding me?" Susie heard Dandelion's words and immediately said with a smile, "But Britt is really not suitable for conspiracy. She was specially trained by grandpa for marriage. She originally wanted to marry into the Feilong family Go, now we are in Yeqi City again."

Dandelion nodded: "Yes, when I first arrived at the academy, I started targeting her and even united many people to attack her. I was afraid that after she knew my identity, she would get too close to me and be raped by me in the future. Implicated."

"So you just came here?" Susie's smiling face gradually became serious, "You have to think about it. The people gathered here can only control a border city like Baishu City. If you want to make a difference in Longya City, then It’s impossible.”

For Susie's answer, Dandelion was already prepared: "What if it can be done in the name of the Knights of the Royal Capital? For example, the knights of Marquis Lant? Or what if we can get the support of Gulea Blue Dragon? ?”

Susie sneered: "Even if Li Qi Red Dragon and even His Majesty Du Sen Bai Xiao support you, what kind of waves can you, a knight who has just broken through the intermediate level, make?"

"I have no intention of causing any waves. It's the Blue Lion, the Flying Dragon, and the Elk who want to drown you with the waves, just like they did nine years ago," Dandilian said nonchalantly, "Although your subordinates are powerful, you are I don’t necessarily have to command, although my people are all low-level, they all obey me.”

Looking at Susie who was gradually becoming silent, Dandelion continued: "If these people are placed in the outer area of ​​Longya City, and combined with the manpower of several of us in the outer area, we can contain most of the power of those families, at least It can delay their plot against you.”

The sharp-tongued Susie Lanyuan was silent. She and Li Qi Honglong were both great knights, and each had a team of knights under their command. However, the knight figures in the royal capital were all owned by big families. It was really down to the nobles. When they were at odds with each other, neither Susie nor Li Qi could control the people below them.

Back then, the king who came from the Lan Yuan family had worked hard in Longya City for decades. As a result, when the nobles really fell out, they couldn't even guard the gate of the palace.

Susie, who had been thinking for a long time, nodded and agreed with Dandilian's statement: "Then you have to pay attention to safety. There are not many direct bloodlines belonging to Lan Yuan and Red Dragon..."

"Don't worry, I have endured these years and will not be exposed easily." Dandilian was very happy to see Susie agree with him, "You also have to be careful, especially the kindness of the front secretary. The pillar of the country..."

"There are many reasons for what happened back then. Some things you know, some you don't know..." Susie interrupted Dandelion to prevent her from mentioning the names of the legends too much, "You are here too You have to be careful to stay away from the Maned Wolf family. According to my information, those families may start with Old Maned Wolf first."

"Old Maned Wolf..." Dandelion muttered in a low voice, "This bickering bastard deserves to be punished first!"
