Under normal circumstances, for such a big thing as the construction of the canal, as the actual ruler of Lanesburg, it would be better for Brian to be present in person.

I read the letter sent by Aunt Lina again. The letter also mentioned that Asaman's engineering team will arrive in Lansburgh in two days.

If he left now, he should be able to rush back just in time, but for a while he couldn't leave the city of Pest.

Brian has more important things to deal with, such as the debt to acquire Earl Merovingian, and waiting to become the apprentice of Grand Magister Maccafe.

The purchase of Count Merovingian's debt mainly depends on Duke Horsman. Brian and Duke Bourbon are not familiar with each other, and it is impossible to actually spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins to purchase the debt.

Of course, it was impossible for Duke Horsman to spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins. It was basically a debt-for-debt method to obtain Earl Merovingian's debt. Then all Brian would have to do was sign some documents.

Brian used this as a reason to declare war, and after receiving benefits from the Merovingian family, he could offset his debt to the Duke of Bourbon.

If the Merovingian family has nothing, Duke Horsman will have to foot the bill, so there is still some risk.

The other Dukes of Horsman can help Brian deal with it, but to become a disciple of Grand Magister Mecafe, you have to go in person.

This is one of the most important things for Brian at the moment. Being a disciple of McCarver is more important than becoming a real viscount.

Because there are small nobles like the Viscount all over the continent, but there are only a handful of disciples of the Grand Mage.

As long as Brian becomes a disciple of the Grand Magister and declares that he has become an official magician, Brian's reputation will at least increase by a few hundred points, if nothing else.

Everyone wants to know that Brian is a genius with magical talents, and he will have a bright future by following the Grand Magister Mecafe.

This routine has been used badly by listed companies in previous lives. It is a standard Buddha's light effect.

This is one of the reasons why Duke Horsman wants Brian to hide his strength.

So how can Brian not pay attention to it, but he heard that Mr. McCaffer is not in the Frankish Kingdom, and even if he uses space magic to communicate, he may not be able to come back in the short term.

Moreover, there must be other things going on for Duke Horsman to recruit him back in such a hurry, and it cannot be just to negotiate with Count Merovingian.

You must know that Duke Horsman did not know that Brian had magical talent at the time, so there must be other matters.

Brian had a feeling that this matter might be related to the marriage mentioned by Duke Horsman last time, although he felt that it was really unreliable.

But Duke Horsman is also cunning and cunning, and he cannot be invincible. Maybe he just made a false shot to build momentum for his son.

It's hard to say who the wife was actually chosen for Brian.

As a time traveler, does Brian have the idea of ​​free love?

It is impossible to say that you don’t want to, but for ordinary people, true love is a luxury product, and those marriages based on love are actually a luxury hope.

Not to mention that in a feudal society like the Middle Ages, what was the difference between pursuing true love and seeking death?

Needless to say, in this world, even in the years before Brian traveled through time, he could clearly feel the changes.

Back then, everyone advocated true love, opposed arranged marriage, and sought freedom.

But I don’t know since when, the trend on the Internet has gradually turned into contempt, ridicule and boycotting of love-minded people.

The so-called true love has become synonymous with stupidity, and marriage has officially become a business. The bride price is the price for low-income men to obtain a spouse.

The fundamental reason is that due to the economic downturn, everyone sees no more hope and has become more rational and cautious.

Those young people who originally thought they could change the world found that they were just dust in the world.

Just a few years of economic downturn can change people's outlook on life.

This is a world where slavery is still practiced. Do you really think that just because Brian is the protagonist, he can be lawless?

The Horsman family's training of Brian was not free. As a son of the family, he had to pay a corresponding price. Marrying a suitable female noble was one of Brian's responsibilities.

Even if Brian eventually becomes the Grand Mage, he will still be subject to the world's rules and interests, and he will not be able to do whatever he wants.

At this time, the maid knocked on the door, and Brian asked them to come in. Then he watched the two maids walk into the bedroom carrying a tray with Brian's breakfast on it.

The breakfast was as sumptuous as usual, but it tasted tasteless to Brian.

The three things that Brian just thought of are all important to Brian, but they are all beyond Brian's control. He can only wait for the news in the room. This is in sharp contrast to the busyness of the past few days.

.

The sudden leisure made Brian feel a little overwhelmed. This may also be a sequelae of time travel. Only when he is busy can he feel safe. Once he is free, he feels like he has no control over his fate.

After a hasty breakfast, Brian took Aunt Lina's letter out of the room and went straight to Duke Horsman's study.

In Brian's memory, Duke Horsman spent most of his time in the castle in his study.

Brian does not necessarily have to go back to Lansburg. Since it is an engineering team arranged by the system, there must be no problem. Moreover, with the endorsement of Aunt Lina, the real lord of Lansburg, Butler Karl will cooperate.

It's just that at the canal's groundbreaking ceremony, if Brian were present, would it be possible to gain another wave of prestige and make the small nobles in the north recognize Brian again?

After all, Asaman's engineering team was nominally hired by the dead Viscount Horton, and the money used was the spoils obtained by Viscount Horton from defeating the orcs.

It has nothing to do with Brian, and they will only remember the good things about the former Viscount.

Brian has spent all his 1,000 achievement points. If he can get some extra benefits, he still needs to work hard. The system will not be wasted until it is harvested.

Moreover, Brian had already thought about it. Normally, it would take five days to go back and forth by carriage, which would definitely delay things.

But if the Griffin Knight takes him with him, it will only take one day to get to Lansburg, and it won't take long to hold the groundbreaking ceremony.

If Brian had not received special training before, he would not have dared to sit on a gryphon. Even with the control of a gryphon knight, flying thousands of meters above the sky would be risky.

No matter how powerful the griffin is, as a magical beast, its carrying capacity is limited. If two adult men sit on the back of a griffin, the griffin will be tired after flying for a long time.

But now that Brian is a magician, he can use wind magic to reduce the weight of himself and the knight, so that the griffon will not feel tired and the safety level will be much higher.
