"I'm sorry, it was rude of me..." The Silver Elf girl took a deep breath to calm her mood and explained, "The rank of a territory is a term from before the Saint War Era, used to differentiate the strength of territories. When we talk about a basic territory, it's often referring to primitive areas like Tonyger that haven't undergone magical development." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The girl gently pressed her chest: "In such regions, scattered magic presents a chaotic state, distributed in the wilderness, only within considerable ranges does the magic naturally converge into focal points, known as Magic Pools—or what we call Magic Nests."

She glanced at the others, mainly Roman and Qian: "Actually, all of you have seen such places, the places where magic converges become impacted by chaos and turn into demon nests."

"So that's how demon nests form!" Roman tapped her lips with her index finger, curiously asking, "But what does the formation of a demon nest have to do with the strength of a territory? Isn't it odd if more demon nests mean better?"

Medisha shook her head and couldn't help but laugh: "Of course not, but in the civilized world—human and elf armies often seize these places and construct biological nests to serve civilization itself, or build Wizard Towers, Crystal Pools, right?"

"Wizard Towers, Crystal Pools, and biological nests can greatly amplify a lord's strength, thus the more Magic Pools a territory possesses, generally speaking, the more mature and powerful the territory becomes. Only territories with at least ten Magic Pools qualify as Magic Territories."

"The concept of Magic Territories goes far beyond the human world's definition of a lord; across the entire multiverse, the lords of Magic Territories are respected." At this point, Medisha laughed again: "Someone like Gruding, these nobles still remain within the confines of your human concepts, but once they step out of your society, even leaving Erune, they amount to nothing."

"Yet even possessing just one Magic Pool means this lord has at least gained fame within the broader world." She looked at Brand, indicating that this young lord, though not yet famous in Erune, in a world that extols strength, his status has already far exceeded Gruding.

"What size does a region need to naturally contain a magic convergence point?" Miss Merchant asked, always curious about such odd knowledge.

"About..." The Silver Elf girl thought for a moment: "According to Erune's system, such areas are approximately the size of a baron domain."

Qian listened intently, having never come across such advanced knowledge before—on the border of a kingdom like Jandener and Golan-Elsen, not to mention mercenaries, even ordinary nobles might not have heard of these things—she couldn't help but ask: "Does that mean we have places like this in Lengshan Domain?"

"Ah, I see!" Roman's eyes suddenly lit up with understanding; Miss Merchant's response to such non-serious matters is usually astonishingly quick: "Recently Char has been acting mysteriously. I heard from those mercenaries that he frequently appears around Shafelund, saying he wants to build some kind of tower, it's for finding a magic convergence point, right?"

"Quick thinker." Brand finally couldn't hold back his disgruntled remark.

"I've always been amazing, Brand you're too slow, only just realized—oh!" Miss Merchant immediately grabbed her head.

The little fox tail hadn't fully perked up before Brand gave a light tap on the forehead. He didn't understand how this self-proclaimed 'both lady-like and elegant merchant lord' always used her limited 'cleverness' on these trivial matters.

"Exactly so, Tama and Antitina predict that there should be a magic convergence point near Shafelund." Brand replied.

"Didn't expect Miss Antitina to have astrological talents." Medisha sincerely praised.

Brand hadn't expected it either, but actually, before entering the Black Forest Antitina had already calculated it, though at that time they didn't even have enough Magic Crystals to craft White Lion Armor, let alone construct any Mage Towers.

"But are Mage Towers just like those pointed towers in stories? What's their use? Are they wizards' homes, Brand, is it where Char lives?" Roman asked while dodging, holding her forehead.
