At the side of the main Alchemy Hall.
Within the secret room.
Nigel opened the sealing formation of the secret room.
And then, the two sat down in the meditative position.
"A few days ago, the results of the Dawn of the Soul potion were released."
"It is an extremely perfect potion, with no problems whatsoever."
"But of course, this is something we've already confirmed. Right now, it's just an official confirmation."
Speaking to this point, Nigel's tone slowly became low and melodious.
And then, Nigel's eyes, as deep as the sea, turned to Gounières.
"Then do you know … the enormous effect of this potion?"
"A little." Gounières nodded lightly.
"Once the Soul-Patterning Potion is mass-produced, many experts will be born."
"Especially to the caster, the increase in the soul's transcendent characteristics will allow many Transcendents to rise in power."
"In fact, it can increase the overall power of the Yulan Empire."
Gounières explained.
"You … you underestimate the Dawn of the Soul."
Nigel's tone was deep.
"After all, your level is too low. You haven't experienced the terrifying power of the soul."
"The Dawn of the Soul will change the entire era."
"Change the entire era? Is it that exaggerated? "Gounières rubbed his temples.
Gounières, who had never been in a high position, hadn't seen enough things. His considerations definitely weren't as broad as Nigel's.
More importantly, Gounières' understanding of the Dawn of the Soul was much deeper than Nigel's.
Gounières, who had the System, could do many things. Even without the Soul-Patterning Potion, Gounières could still find some unique transcendent plant seeds and plant them in order to obtain transcendent treasures that would strengthen his soul's transcendent characteristics.
It was much like how he had planted the Elven Tree of Life and the Netherworld Tree.
Gounières had many methods to make himself stronger. The Soul-Patterning Potion was just one of them.
But to the many casters …
The Dawn of the Soul existed.
It was a path that would allow the soul to transform.
It was an enormous leap from nothing to something.
At this level …
The dawn of the soul would indeed change the entire era.
"None of your merits can be replaced by these rewards."
"More importantly …"
Nigel chuckled.
"You are very strong."
"This also means that when you become strong enough, if you wish, you can become one of the higher-ups of the Pioneers."
"You should know that it's difficult for a normal Transcendent Master to become a high-ranking member of the Pioneers.
"Although they are very strong, their achievements and prestige are not enough."
"But you're different. Just the birth of the dawn of the soul has made your name firmly remembered by all the members of Congress."
"Even the Emperor of the Yulan Empire is full of praise for you."
"As for the proposal for the reward this time, do you know what interesting thing happened?"
"What is it?" Gounières asked curiously.
"More than thirty councilors have all passed. No one objected."
At this point, Nigel couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"This is something that hasn't happened in decades."
Compared to the fact that all the councilors had passed, Gounières was actually more concerned about the reward.
Nigel seemed to have seen through Gounières's thoughts.
He directly explained, "This time, there are a total of three parts to your reward."
"The first part is the hereditary title and territory."
Nigel took out a scroll map that was about a meter wide and two meters long. Gounières estimated it to be about two meters long. He spread it on the ground and opened it.
As the scroll rolled, the Aoya Continent, a land that had nurtured countless Transcendents, settled down for hundreds of thousands of years, and carried too many stories and legends, bloomed clearly in front of Gounières's eyes for the first time.
There were rich and fertile plains.
There was a vast and endless desert that was scorching under the scorching sun.
There was a winding and rugged river that flowed quietly.
There was a high altitude grassland that humans could not reach.
There was a mountain range where powerful Transcendents resided.
There was also a vast and deep endless ocean that contained endless wealth and carried the voyage of giant steam ships.
An indescribable feeling hit him in the face.
Even though this was not the place where Gounières was born, when he stepped on this land and stared at the vast and exquisite territory, Gounières could not help but be impressed.
As he opened it, Nigel explained.
"You have been granted the title of Hereditary Count by the Parliament. This title is considered not low in the northern part of the Empire. "
"Hereditary Count." Gounières rubbed his fingers. "Now, I am also considered a noble."
"At the same time, you have been granted the right to choose a noble territory that belongs to you in the Anke Province."
"Territory is really a good thing!" Gounières murmured softly.
"Territory is indeed a good thing, and you are about to have a territory that belongs to you." Nigel chuckled softly.
"In this area."
Nigel took out a long and thin ruler and pointed at an area.
"This is the Anke Province that we are currently in."
"And your territory will need to be defined in this area."
Gounières looked over. Nigel was pointing at the northwest area of the Anke Province.
"This place … is obviously close to the Alto Mountains in the north. Moreover, if there are foreign tribes coming from the northwest, this place will most likely be attacked!" Gounières said after some thought.
"You are correct." Nigel nodded.
"The truly fertile and habitable lands have long been taken away by those great nobles."
"Those that remain are either barren lands or territories that are easily attacked by the north."
"Then …" Gounières narrowed his eyes.
"Choose the area closest to the Alto Mountains in the north. This area!" Gounières pointed at a very wide area near the Alto Mountains in the north.
"Oh?" Nigel's brows twitched as he looked over.
"Anyway, at least for a very long time, I'm afraid I won't be going to my so-called territory."
"And when I do need to develop my territory, I will be very powerful and won't have to worry about those Transcendent experts in the north."
"It will be easier to explore a wider area near the north. Perhaps one day, I will be able to include the entire Alto Mountains in my territory," Gounières said half-jokingly.
Nigel was startled for a moment before he laughed.
"That's true."
"Speaking of which, my territory doesn't even have a single garrison. Will it be invaded?" Gounières asked.
Gounières knew very well that wars between nobles would usually result in the annexation of territories.
"Theoretically, it will be occupied, but in reality …"
Nigel pointed at the entire Anke Province.
"Every autumn, there will be large and small beast hordes. It will be difficult to defend these ruins."
"And your territory is more likely to be filled with Transcendent beasts."
"No noble would come to this barren land in the north and occupy your territory to resist those beast hordes."
"You should know that there are many barren noble territories in Anke Province."
"Then I don't have to worry." Gounières smiled.
"The first part of the noble titles and territories has been decided. Next is the second part." Nigel continued.
