Great Nobleman

After asking Hisari to receive Rias and her entourage on her behalf.

Brand returned to his camp, opened the exchange manual and began to read it carefully.

There is no rush to check out the detailed introduction of "Purification and Utilization of the Magical Tide of the Endless Sea".

Brand first turned his attention to the military merits required to redeem territories and titles.

——These two things are the top priority!

After some careful reading, Brand had a detailed understanding of the "price" components of titles and territories.

The military merit required to redeem a hereditary title is relatively fixed.

But the merits required to redeem territory are more complicated.

Want to exchange for a piece of territory.

The specific requirements for combat merit will be the sum of territory area, territory location, and territory resource quantity.

The larger the territory, the better the location, and the more resources, the more military merits will be consumed.

Because he has already made a rough judgment, what Brand now wants is a territory the size of an earldom, with coastal areas and a large number of resources.

The first two weights are not worth thinking about.

But the weight of the final resource quantity needs to be carefully considered!

Because of the tight time and the interference of the magic tide.

The Empire failed to explore the tidal areas too closely.

At this time, the resource distribution discovered by their library will have value.

Wait for Brand to turn to the page with the map of the North in the redemption manual and check it out.

I saw that a large area of ​​​​the coastline has been marked red.

There is a mark next to it:

This is the private land chosen by His Majesty the Emperor for the imperial family.

In the future, an important royal port for the empire will be established here!

After briefly taking a look at the resource distribution on the map, he took out the resource distribution map of the coastal area that the library had specially explored these days and compared it for a while.

Brand couldn't help but have a happy smile on his face.

——The resource points found in their library are much more detailed than those marked by the empire!

Compare the two maps carefully and think about the location of the territory you want.

After a while of sifting and thinking.

Brand circled the boundaries of each territory on the map.

——They are all territorial locations that Brand is quite satisfied with.

In addition to being close to the sea, these areas also contain valuable mineral resources deep underground, and their locations are also suitable.

After careful consideration.

Brand initially determined the territory selection and began to look at other redeemable items.

The first is of course the method of utilizing the magic tide of the Endless Sea.

Now that it has been decided to choose an area submerged by the tide as the territory, of course the means of using the magic tide must also be redeemed together.

After turning to the detailed introduction of this method.

I saw that the actual content of this method was briefly mentioned in words.

Then he described the origin of this knowledge in detail:

Much like what his Uncle Anthony said, this method indeed comes from the elves.

However, it was not obtained before the war, but was brought back from the Elf Forest not long ago.

The northern coastal area of ​​the Elf Forest is inhabited by the Morning Frost Elves, one of the elven branches.

They were an important part of the future maritime trade between the Kaya Empire and the Elf Forest.

Over the years, every time the Royal Chamber of Commerce went to the Elf Forest for trade, they would go out of their way to establish a good relationship with the Morning Frost Elves.

But this time, after the Battle of the Tides was won, the tide of the Endless Sea moved south, and the Empire touched the Endless Sea so long in advance.

Considering that the Frost Elves have more than one experience of dealing with the magical tide of the Endless Sea.

So His Majesty the Emperor asked his uncle, the Grand Magister Edmund Fuentes, to lead a team through the snowy mountains to the location of the Frost Elves for a friendly visit.

Subsequently, the empire spent a huge price in exchange for such a legacy.

Seeing such a detailed description of the origin, there are also descriptive words such as "huge price".

Brand quickly realized that this knowledge should be valuable!

——The facts are pretty much what he thought!

After seeing the specific amount of war contributions and meritorious service required for redemption.

Brand realized that after he exchanged the title and territory, plus such valuable knowledge.

His war contribution will be directly reduced by a large amount!

After frowning in annoyance.

Brand turned the exchange booklet in front of him back to the catalog and started to look at other things on the list.

And at this glance, he unconsciously felt jealous.

In the past peaceful times.

It was extremely difficult for him to obtain a copy of the mage group's inheritance, and in the end he only received a incomplete inheritance.

But now, the inheritance of various types of mages and knights is listed on a whole page of the catalog!

The inherited knowledge of great knights and magisters abounds!

There are even two foundation-level inheritances at the level of champion knights and great mage!

I have to say that the empire’s foundation is indeed very deep.

In addition to these things, the empire must have other more powerful inheritances.

It’s no wonder that at this time, some people will look down upon territory and title!

These good things are indeed rare but hard to come by!

Then, curiously check the amount of war contributions and meritorious service required to inherit this knowledge.

Brand's mouth couldn't help but twitch again.

——The military merits required to redeem these things are no worse than territory and title!

——Even someone like him, whose war contributions are at the forefront of the empire, cannot be exchanged for a few top inheritances!

After trying hard to take my eyes away from these top inheritances.

Brand continued to flip through the catalog and began to look at the rare materials column.

A few days ago, his Uncle Jonas briefly told him.

This column handles remaining war contributions.

Unlike meritorious service, war contributions do not persist long after the war is over.

Therefore, after the important items are exchanged, everyone will exchange a certain amount of resources in this column to use up the final war contribution.

Of course, this column also contains some particularly precious and rare things, such as various master-level creations.

Brand even saw a movable blank screen above.

Of course, these are not Brand's goals.

In fact, when I saw the design album of Heavenly Sword before.

Brand then realized that the Empire should also be collecting materials for making the Heavenly Sword.

Considering that the materials for making the Heavenly Sword on his side are still a bit lacking.

Brand now also wants to see if there are any materials he lacks in the material library provided by the empire.

Check it out.

Brand found that there was indeed some, but not enough to make up for everything that was missing.

These materials are also added to the goal of war merit exchange, and the remaining war contributions are calculated.

Brand began to hesitate between the two choices of various mage inheritances and castle building materials.

In the end, he looked at the various materials used to build the castle first.

Perhaps the empire also knew that someone would have needs in this area.

Therefore, the exchange manual specifically lists various high-end and even top-notch materials that can be used for castle construction.

After some checking, I saw the exchange prices of these materials again and again.

Brand's brows frowned deeper and deeper unconsciously.

It’s not that the material is bad, it’s just that his contribution to the war effort seems a bit strained!

——After he finished replacing the castle materials, he still had a lot of meritorious deeds, but his contribution to the war didn’t seem to have much left?

Thinking of this, Brand couldn't help but feel that he might need to make a rare calculation?
