The Path to Lordship Begins in the North

What shocked Altan the most was not that a group of students were casually greeting the guards at the governor's gate, but rather the location of the governor's residence.

Altan had initially assumed the governor would live in that grand downtown building, but he later learned from the students that although the downtown building was also an office facility, the governor usually worked and entertained guests at his home.

The governor's residence was not a magnificent palace, at least not compared to Capet's palace, and even less impressive than the palaces of some small country kings; it could only be considered a manor at best.

But it's clear that this governor's residence must have been very comfortable to live in.

After informing the guards, Altan was led to the reception room to wait.

Linde had already received news that Altan was coming to pay his respects, but before allowing Altan to enter the gray-white collar, Linde received a letter from his younger sister.

In the capital of Cape, there were also messengers who claimed to have crossed the Sea of ​​Impermanence and come from another continent to share super-level magic. Lilith was unsure of what to do and wrote to Lind through special channels to ask for his advice.

Originally, Lilith could and should have made this decision herself. Although super-level magic sounds impressive and is actually very important, this matter was essentially a diplomatic incident, an internal matter for Capet.

After recognizing each other, Lilith became increasingly unwilling to use her brain. Apart from the affairs within the capital, she dumped all the unimportant matters, big and small, onto Lind.

Just like in his previous life, Linde smoothly began to clean up his sister's mess. While dealing with affairs in the North, he also took the time to help his sister with government affairs, without even realizing that something was wrong.

In a sense, Lind was already the de facto regent of Capet, but it seems that neither Lind nor Lilith were aware of this situation.

There was another letter related to Altan, sent by the elves. The elves were very resistant to the so-called envoys from another continent. Although they did not tell Lind not to make contact, they warned him to be extremely careful.

The reason given by the elves was quite explosive: these humans were suspected to be descendants of humans who fought against the old empire before its establishment, and fled to another continent after their defeat. What good could come of their return?

Did a human civil war actually occur before the Old Empire was established? No, according to the elves, this war could not be considered a civil war, because the two human forces originally disliked each other. After the great war, the Old Empire annexed the other side and then established the Empire.

The remaining forces of the defeated enemy chose to cross the Sea of ​​Impermanence and escape to another continent.

Linde questioned Lucanus in detail, but unfortunately, Lucanus also knew nothing about the history before the founding of the empire.

The only thing that is certain is that the war was the only one recorded by the elves involving the Tower, and even the dragons were involved. Some of the dragons fled to another continent with this group of humans.

Many of the Tower’s rules were established after this war, and it’s hard to imagine what this continent went through in the chaotic period before the empire was established.

However, this hidden history is not what Linde is focusing on right now; the real focus should be on that super-tier magic.

According to Queen Avilia, super-level magic is definitely not as simple as just powerful magic, but until news comes from the tower, the elves will not make any demands on Lind such as prohibiting contact with him, as this is a basic respect between allies.

It's clear that the elves value their ally highly. In her letter to Lind, Avelia makes no attempt to hide her aversion to super-level magic, but she doesn't object to Lind coming into contact with or even learning super-level magic. She simply writes that if Lind is truly capable of using super-level magic, she hopes to discuss it with the elves beforehand.

As for the other side's high-level professionals, the elves also mentioned them. Thanks to the information sent back by the elves who had spread out, the other side had only recently been able to cross the Sea of ​​Impermanence and set foot on this continent. The number of high-level professionals was not very large, and out of fear of the tower, the other side did not dare to act rashly.

At the end of the letter, Avilia specifically instructed Lind not to feed Tia too many snacks.

Avelia's letter was very important to Lind. At least it gave Lind a detailed introduction to the group's origins and approximate strength, allowing Lind to make a general judgment. After putting the letter away, Lind went to the reception room to meet the traveler from afar.

Although the drawing room was very simple and plain, it was decorated with some model objects that Lind liked, as well as some paintings, so Altan was not bored. He even tried to figure out what kind of person the Governor of the North was from the decorations.

Before arriving at the gray-collar area, Altan had already received news from other places that almost everyone was making good progress.

Altan also felt that the North was just more difficult to enter. Once he met the governor, the governor, like other leaders, would be unable to refuse the super-level magic in Altan's hands.

As their country's wise men said, no matter how much preparation these lords, kings, and governors made, no one could resist the allure of transcendental magic.

After all, any leader with a sound mind would not allow something like someone else having super-powerful magic while you don't.

As soon as Lind entered, Altan immediately stood up and bowed. Lind also nodded casually, gesturing for Altan to sit down.

"Your Excellency Governor of the North, I have heard of your renown during my travels. Your might, wisdom, and kindness have spread far and wide among us travelers."

The Governor of the North was as young as rumored. Apart from those immortal elves, the leaders of the major powers on this continent were all very young and not stupid.

This made Altan somewhat worried: could the Kingdom's sage's plan really be successfully implemented?

But then Altan put that worry aside. Youth meant inexperience, and if even one of these people wanted to start a war, then the Kingdom of Avar would have its chance. Returning to this continent from a kingdom that had been utterly destroyed would no longer be a dream.

Linde remained unmoved by this low-level flattery and said directly, "I've also heard from other places that you plan to promote super-level magic to all countries and all powers, right?"

Altan was not surprised by Lind's statement. Entry control in the North was very strict, and Altan was the last of all the envoys to meet the target. Moreover, the North had close ties with the Elven Gorg Empire, so it was not surprising that he received the news in advance.

So Altan directly admitted, "That's right. Since you already know, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Your Excellency, our transcendental magic will be open to all nations in order to promote the development of magic on this continent."
