Chapter 536 Purpose-Disputes

 “It seems that Calais can’t sit still...”

In the Earl's Mansion, Earl Luke also showed some contemplation on his face after hearing Daofu's feedback.

The Federation of Calais is very strong.

 The two archmages have been in charge for a long time, and they are obviously able to instigate actions. This is much better than the situation in the Principality of Dia!

Coupled with the four great knights, the elite soldiers of the Calais Federation that spent a lot of money, and the number of official mages that exceeded the sum of the four countries of the East Plain.

 In terms of military strength, it can be said that it even exceeds the Kingdom of Yidai by a large margin.

As for the economy, there is no need to mention it. If you hug Leo's floating city, even if something leaks out, your mouth will be full of oil.

Has quite a reputation throughout Middle-earth.

A magic airship alone is what many top chambers of commerce covet?

 The economic strength even exceeds that of the four East Plain countries combined, and it exceeds it several times!

Even the Ferro Empire next door can only rely on its larger size to compare economically. Its health cannot be compared with Calais, and it is said that the Ferro Empire has been deeply penetrated by Calais, and It was no longer the same before.

In addition to the Ferro Empire, the Principality of Nott across the sea from Calais has almost become Calais's dumping market. Calais's powerful business model easily defeated the small peasant economy of the Principality of Nott, and a large number of farms fell into In the hands of a Calais businessman.

The truce agreement between the Principality of Caton and the Principality of Nott twenty years ago was the notary of the Federation of Calais.

 At present, the largest trade between Keton and the Principality of Nott, the exchange of ore from the Principality of Notton and the grain of the Principality of Nott, can also be regarded as being facilitated by Calais.

The Calais Federation seems to have received some high-quality seeds cultivated by the mages of Leo Floating City. Their farms have extremely high yields and are of high quality and low price.

And we don’t have to worry about these seeds leaking out, because they will naturally degenerate after two or three generations, so corresponding breeding methods must be in place.

 This trade has always been going on smoothly.

 Dunnuo City has also reaped the dividends for so long.

In fact, Earl Luke has also vaguely noticed that something is wrong.

Especially when the conflict between the Kingdom of Idai and the Principality of Dia broke out this time and the price of food soared several times, he felt the seriousness of the problem.

 One of the main reasons for the skyrocketing price of food is the impact of food shipped from the Principality of Nott.

Moreover, the local nobles and businessmen who have united have been affected by Nott's interests to some extent, and have even softly contradicted themselves at the banquet.

If it weren't for the assassination, he would probably have to follow up and come up with some countermeasures...

What kind of virtue is a noble? He has a clear mind.

As long as the benefits are big enough, there is nothing they won’t sell, including their own country!

“Is it a coincidence that we sent someone here right after the assassination...”

 Earl Luke frowned slightly.

This assassination is still under investigation. Although the Cent Master asked for some clues, they all ended with the Moonlight Brotherhood.

And it is extremely difficult to find information about the employer from the Moonlight Brotherhood.

But for Luke, he didn’t want any evidence. To put it bluntly, it involved an assassination of this level. Even if there was evidence, it would be meaningless. At most, it would be to issue some condemnation and report it to the Mother Goddess’s divine court for a certain degree of denunciation.

 It mainly depends on the strength of both parties!

If your side can directly suppress the other side, it will have a strong claim to launch a war, just like the situation between the Kingdom of Idai and the Principality of Dia.

But even if it is stronger than the Kingdom of Yidai, and its overall national power is higher than that of the Principality of Dia, and there is an excuse like the assassination of the crown prince, it is still in a stalemate.

 The outbreak of war often results in a lose-lose outcome. Even if the country that takes the initiative to attack is stronger, it can easily be dragged into the quagmire of war.

Even the Principality of Edai is like this. The Principality of Keton, a country that is not very strong, is naturally even more powerless.

Even if you know who the employer behind the scenes is, the methods you can take are limited.

 What Luke wanted to know was who was targeting him so that he could be on guard.

Logically speaking, the suspicion of the Kingdom of Yidai is the greatest. The current King of Yidai is known as the strongest man in the Astor Plains. He also has a flying dragon mount, has the title of Dragon Knight, and even has two blessings from the Temple of the Moon God. , and some of the blessings it possesses.

Although he has never really fought against each other in terms of strength, relying on the opponent's record, Luke thinks that even if the opponent does not have the help of the flying dragon, he and the opponent will only be 30-70, and he is 3-3!

It’s just that although there is still a gap in strength, Luke is younger than his opponent, and he is not distracted by his expertise in knighthood. In turn, the probability of breaking through to legend may be higher.

 So being feared and targeted by the Kingdom of Yidai, this is a matter that does not require any evidence, just state your position.

Maybe because of the conflict with the Principality of Dia this time, people can't spare any time and are worried that a lot of energy will be locked in the Principality of Dia, so they try to find the Moonlight Brotherhood?

Being able to receive the protection of the Moon God Temple shows that he is a devout believer in the Moon God, and to some extent he can also be successful in the Moonlight Brotherhood.

Calais Federation Luc also considered it, but was initially suspected and moved back.

 But now...

Coming over now, it's obvious that the person who came here is not good-natured. It's hard to say whether they are not afraid of the slanting shadow because they are upright, or they don't care about their own suspicions, or whether they did it deliberately and came here to reflect.

 “When are they going to the Mage Tower?”

Count Luke asked with a sigh, looking at the flames in the fireplace, with the flames dancing in his eyes.

“I should take a rest and I’ll be over today. I may ask the Merchant Guild for some information. Their influence in the Merchant Guild is also quite large.”

"Well, let's go and see what tricks they want to play, using your carriage..."

 Earl Luke stood up, took his hat and put it on.

A powerful mage with a mysterious identity who compiled elven songs based on prophecies. On one side is an evil visitor from the Federation of Calais.

Logically speaking, if you want to maximize your interests, you should let them conflict and sit behind the scenes to adjust the best point according to the actual situation.

However, Master Yi saved his daughter, but he couldn't directly push his benefactor out to test the quality of others.

You still have to be there when it's time to arrive, but you can first observe the situation in Dolph's carriage to see which guys will be persuaded by the people in Calais.

 Luke is not a person who is attached to power. He values ​​family affection more than the power in his hands.

However, since you are sitting in this position, you must fulfill your responsibilities.

Whether it's Edai or Calais, since you are using such unflattering assassination methods, it shows that you are not ready to be tough now...

 …

""Savage Out of the Mountain", although the name is a bit vulgar, is indeed a traditional elf style. I have also studied some leftover documents of the elf, and this song is quite standard."

William, who came out of the guest house and got on the carriage and headed towards the Mage Tower, also got detailed information about Master Yi from the Chamber of Commerce.

He had actually heard the song "Savage Out of the Mountain" in Calais. It was catchy and easy to understand, and the most important thing was that it was excerpted for free. It was spread directly from the Bard Guild. It spread very quickly and was deeply loved by all walks of life. Loved by people of all levels.

 At first I just listened to this piece of music and didn’t pay much attention to it.

 But after coming here, I learned some different news from the Chamber of Commerce!

 The savages really appeared!

Some of them are currently active near the town of Darnik, and their behavior is very strange.

There are also savages who say that they are favored by their ancestral gods!

 This is really a bit confusing.

In addition, the acting president also sang a new birthday celebration song at the banquet, which was also a standard elf style.

And the difficulty has obviously gone up a level.

He even saved Earl Luke's daughter at the banquet.

“Interesting guy, although I don’t know who specifically arranged this assassination, but now that you are giving up this benefit and letting me come and do these things, I’m afraid some guys in the Federation are involved…”

There was a trace of ridicule at the corner of William's mouth.

 Since I am here for Mithril, as long as there is enough profit, it is not impossible to do it!

However, he couldn't remember what kind of 'chain' magic it was in the information.

There are so many spells created by mages, and their cost-effectiveness varies. Generally, the more common spells are the ones that have been adjusted to the best cost-effectiveness.

 Even if he is a high-level mage, he still has spells that he has never heard of before.

 Penetrate directly into the human body without leaving any scars, but also cause huge pain?

 Substantial soul attack?

 Nearly instantaneous, and can be used multiple times. Even if it is inscribed in advance, it shows that the opponent is not a newbie who has just entered the official mage class.

 Looking to be less than 30 years old, I don’t know if it’s the real age or a fake one.

 Or, is he actually a warlock who is good at soul attacks?

Due to bloodline restrictions, warlocks can master limited spells, usually based on their own bloodline. However, in their own areas of expertise, warlocks can even surpass wizards in spell casting speed and intensity.

But speaking of it, one of the side tasks of coming here is to find a great warlock who may be hiding in Dunno City.

It should be the 'demon blood warlock' who disappeared many years ago. Judging from his behavior before his disappearance, he was probably caught in a bloodline conflict that warlocks fear. He doesn't know what the situation is now.

Because the other party has quite superb tailoring enchanting skills and has a very high level in making and enchanting armor, so this time the Federation thought of him after obtaining the bloodstone overseas.



 Chapter 807

“...So, a mage cannot follow the rules, nor can he be too rigid. After understanding the basic principles, he needs to actively try where he thinks he can improve, even at the apprenticeship stage..."

Wang Yi was speechless when he looked at the five apprentices who listened carefully to his explanation.

Sent is such a waste, what he teaches is all crooked things.

Even though they are all learning as mage apprentices, they still don’t understand some of the core characteristics of mages.

What a sin...

“Instructor, our apprentices’ knowledge accumulation is not enough. There may be situations where we think there is no problem but actually there is a problem. What should we do if rash modifications are dangerous?”

The magic Dajiniya also raised her bright pink wrist at this time and asked curious questions.

Want to seduce Wang Yigui, but since she has been staying in the Mage Tower, she just wants to become a real mage!

In fact, she is qualified to go to the Magic Academy, but the strongest teacher at Keton Magic Academy is only an official mage. It is better to stay in the Mage Tower for this traditional small class teaching.

 “It’s nice to be brave enough to ask questions.”

Wang Yi first praised, but then he said

"So, what you need to do most now is to learn the basic principles solidly and become proficient in controlling magic. There is no need to start learning complicated spell models now. When you first try, you can choose magic that is not dangerous and various auxiliary There are so many spells, don’t keep focusing on those that are destructive and offensive. If you just want these, it would be much easier to specialize in a few commonly used attack spells and directly advance to the professional level..."

 After saying that, Wang Yi ignored these apprentices and stood up directly.

That is to say, the pouring of the mage tower has not been completed yet, so I took some time to appease these tool workers. After the pouring is completed, I will find a way to connect Lin Shiqin, and then I will directly hand it over to Lin Shiqin to dispatch them.

 “Okay, that’s it for today.”

Wang Yi waved his hand casually.

“Tutor, I still have some questions that I would like to ask privately~”

Niya glanced at Wang Yi with watery eyes and said delicately.

“Oh, being so diligent and studious is worthy of encouragement. Come up here and let me take a test on your skills...”

 …

“The mage tower is very grand.”

William raised his head and glanced at the tower. It was taller than his mage tower, but from the material point of view, it should be made of ordinary materials. It was valuable, but it was worse than his mage tower.

 But with such a large basic base, if materials are invested in the subsequent transformation, this mage tower still has potential.

  No wonder he arranged to come over as soon as he got the news.

　　It does have its own value!

It would be a waste if it fell into the hands of ordinary mages, and it would take a powerful force with deep pockets to complete the secondary transformation in order to make full use of it.

“Excuse me, what can I do to you two?”

Laisi, the guild's lady at the front desk, stood up from behind the front desk and walked out with a polite and elegant smile, stroking her hair and making inquiries.

 She did not receive any advance notice, but William's own attire and the golden tiger following behind showed that their identities were not simple.

Lais works for the Mages Guild, and her eyesight has been improved. There is a high probability that this person is from Calais, and may also be a mage or a parliamentarian!

I heard that the assessment team for the acting president of the examination school came from the Federation of Calais. It couldn't be them, right?

 Is this a surprise attack?

It seems to be a bit inconsistent with the tradition here in Dunno City. Normally, he would give face to Earl Luke.

Although many thoughts flashed through Laisi's mind, she still greeted her with an impeccable etiquette smile.

William took a look at Laisi's graceful figure, and could see that the other person's posture was practiced to his best ability, and he could easily show off his excellent figure.

 The face is also carefully groomed.

The guys here do know how to enjoy themselves, but as a mage, it is unwise to spend so much time on unimportant things.

"Where is your acting president? Ask him to come see me."

William still maintained his aloof expression and his tone was cold.

This tone of voice made Lesdu's expression stiffen slightly.

 Sure enough, he is a member of the assessment team!

 And you feel a little resentful. What's going on?

However, he didn’t even know that the other party was coming today, and the acting president didn’t notify him. He thought it might be a surprise attack from them.

 But now it seems possible that the acting president knew about it but didn't go to pick them up at all?

  Unlikely…

Just as a small receptionist, although she is good-looking, she can still clearly understand her identity.

Of course I didn’t dare to get involved in this kind of confrontation, so I could only lower my head and say,

 “I’m going to ask for instructions.”

At this time, Jin Hu stood up again, showing his barbarian advantage.

Said with an impatient expression

"What? Doesn't the president just want to give us a blow?"

At this time, the two original maids of the Mages Guild, Lily and An An, had also arrived with tea and snacks. Just seeing the atmosphere at the scene, the two beautiful maids in standard maid outfits were also uneasy.

“You two, please calm down. I’m really sorry. Our president is busy with experiments right now, so we may have to wait for him for a while.”

At this time, Murphy, the leader of the apprentices, also came out and spoke quickly.

 He was also feeling bitter in his heart at this time.

 Why is the assessment team here now? The Earl's Mansion didn't notify the president in advance?

impossible!

  Could it be that the president knew about it and didn’t go to pick them up yet? Are you even lecturing us?

　　Even after the lecture, you even went to ‘instruct’ Niya?

And you’re bringing Catwoman along to guide you?

 Fuck!

 What's going on!

 Murphy can be considered an old apprentice and has served the former Master Senter for a long time.

Lily, An An, and Lais were all recruited by him personally. Although Niya was also a noble lady, she was accepted as a student by Master Senter because of her beauty.

  It can be said that Master Sente was originally an old man, but he was too old and too ambitious to do anything.

In contrast, the new president, who brought three beautiful and seductive catwomen with him, behaved much more upright.

 It's just that you can't do it at this time, what should you do now?

 “Busy with experiments? President?”

After hearing this, William laughed in turn.

"He is still the agent, not the president. Does he know that we are coming here today to be 'busy with experiments'? Doesn't he look down on us too much? We represent the Mages Guild and the face of the Calais Federation. !”

After William said this, magic lines appeared all over his body. There seemed to be streams of light and light spots constantly rotating around him. Behind him, there were faint stars dotted around him, which looked extremely powerful.

A strong sense of oppression hit everyone present, making them breathless.

Even though Murphy was close to the spirit of a formal mage, his face turned pale at this time.

This, this mental oppression is much stronger than that of Master Senter!

 High level mage!

how come?

 It’s just an assessment, how come a high-level mage comes directly?

　　Count Luke recommended that you should just go through the motions!

Is it possible that something else will happen?

Looks like he is younger than himself, but his mental strength is already strong to this extent.

If it is really a high-level mage, then he is probably a young mage who has a chance to surpass the genius of the archmage.

this…

 What should we do?

 Mr. President, you really have left me a difficult matter.

How can I, an old apprentice with old arms and legs, shoulder such an important task...

"Humph, since the acting president is not here, let's just assume that he missed the exam. He may not be a mage himself, but is just an ordinary spellcaster professional level who pretends to be a mage and is hiding. If he fails the exam, the guild will accept the appointment of a new president in the near future. "

William directly used the topic and assumed a furious attitude.

Coupled with the tide of magic power around him, everyone present was breathless.

“Then, we will take over this mage tower for the time being. This is the property of our mage guild.”

 Chapter 808 Disputes

William's tone was very calm, and seemed to be a matter of course attitude.

But this is also one of his main tasks here!

You must win one of the Acting President of the Mage Guild Branch and the Mage Tower. It would be best if you can win both.

On the way here, he also read more detailed information about the acting president, so in his opinion, there may be no problem with the other party passing the assessment and certification.

Moreover, if he is really that strong and still looks so young, there is no need to offend him too hard. He should hit him when it is time to hit him, but he should be relaxed and relaxed.

Maybe we can even use the relationship with the Federation of Calais to win over in the opposite direction.

 In terms of magical resources, how does the Principality of Keton compare with Calais?

 So his purpose at the beginning was to make a fuss about the mage tower. Before the other party didn't come to pick him up, he graciously left it alone.

 Now, my dear, the other party knew that he was coming today, but it seemed like he didn’t even notify the front desk?

 And you also did experiments?

 Just throw yourself aside as the assessor?

Once this recording crystal is recorded, then when Count Luke speaks, he will have a basis for it.

Of course he couldn't let go of this thing that fell into his hands!

　　I was originally planning to come here to make a fuss over nothing, but now I am actually falling asleep and hitting the pillow.

  He could generally understand that this was the attitude expressed by the acting president, and in turn, he was giving him authority.

But it’s a pity that he occupies the name of the General Assembly of the Mages Guild and occupies the general trend. Taking advantage of the trend, he can take the opportunity to seize the right to speak!

 “The property of the Mages Guild?”

Murphy's expression changed when he heard this. At his age, he knew something was wrong after hearing this!

What is the unknown situation of this assessment team and the acting president?

Or maybe it involves a competition of power on the level of the Earl's Mansion?

 As for loyalty, Murphy has just come into contact with Wang Yi not long ago, so Murphy doesn’t have any loyalty issues.

 As an old apprentice, if the situation is normal, it is naturally better to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light" immediately.

　　I can think of the knowledge points explained by the Acting President before, the teachings that can make people suddenly understand and get to the essence by simplifying the complex into simple words, and the age of the Acting President.

Murphy also gritted his teeth and said,

"Your Majesty, Master, I served here when this Mage Tower was first established. As far as I know, this Mage Tower was originally built for Master Senter with the funding of the previous Earl of Dunno, and Mage Senter himself only temporarily built it. The third floor was borrowed to facilitate the Mage Guild's business operations. This time, after Mage Cente was involved in the assassination, the ownership was once again taken back by the Earl's Palace and transferred to the acting president..."

Murphy spoke carefully, word for word.

  It can be said that he is an old man who has personally witnessed it. Of course, he is also qualified to point out the problem.

This made William look at him quite unexpectedly, and then said with interest

"I know your information, Murphy, right? The original apprentice has been working hard and diligently. Over the years, he has reached the peak of his apprenticeship. He can also prepare some ordinary potions to complete some ordinary enchantments."

 Coming to the Chamber of Commerce here, with his energy, he can naturally retrieve the information of everyone inside the Mage Tower.

Even the chef and maid know it!

  Murphy has spent the most time writing except for the mysterious composer mage.

Because Murphy is indeed very capable, works diligently, practices step by step, and has certain potion and enchanting skills. If he is successfully hired, he can be regarded as a good tool man.

As he spoke, he took out a red crystal from his arms and said

“This is the crystallization of the blood of the siren. Although it is a bit useless for formal mages to break through, if you just focus on a few specific spell models and complete the mental solidification to enter the professional level, you can at least increase the probability by 30%.”

Murphy's pupils shrank slightly when he took out the Siren's blood crystal, and he couldn't help but gulp down his saliva.

 He is not young anymore!

 That’s why I gave up the path of mage and prepared to take the specialization route, because if I don’t make a breakthrough as I get older, the probability will become lower and lower.

 This is indeed something that hits his weak point!

It is also an auxiliary item that Murphy has specially researched.

As for the price, the Kraken Blood Crystal is about two thousand gold coins.

Murphy, who had saved up for so many years and still had some potion and enchanting skills, was able to come up with such a huge sum of money. But the problem was that the crystals of the siren's blood were still something with a price but no market. It was not just about having money. Bought.

 There must be channels.

The magical atmosphere in Calais is much richer than that in Catton, as are the resources. Moreover, because it is an isolated peninsula offshore, there are more maritime merchants coming and going.

Most of the nearby information about the Siren's Blood Crystal comes from the Federation of Calais. Considering that the Federation of Calais advocates magic, it is difficult to spread it.

Even if you don’t use it, some big influence will buy it and keep it. This...

William took out this thing, smiled after watching Murphy swallowing, and then said slowly

"What you said before is indeed true in many places, but after the previous Count Dunno built the Mage Tower and handed it over to Master Senter, the ownership fell into his hands. In fact, he had already transferred the Mage Tower to him not long ago. The ownership was transferred to the Mages Guild, which is the title deed and transfer deed of the Mages Tower, and it all happened before his assassination."

William took out two more pieces of parchment at this time, and there were anti-counterfeiting certificates written on them with magic ink.

With this piece of parchment, you can go to the city hall to make a rubbing of the registered copy. It is a property authentication method with an anti-counterfeiting function. It is somewhat similar to the "bank card" that the Bard Guild applied to Wang Yi before.

 After taking it out this time, Murphy was also a little stunned.

 Because Sente would definitely not tell him clearly what he was doing, so naturally he didn't know about it.

 Now that I see the contract certificate in the other party's hands, I am a little confused.

"There is also his transfer agreement here, which is reasonable, legal and compliant. It's just that no one is free during this period, so the transfer registration has not been completed at the city hall. However, the previous procedures have been completed, and this Mage Tower already belongs to The property of the Mages Guild is correct.”

 Then William took the transfer deed and pointed to the time on it.

The above date was indeed done before the incident.

 It can be said that there is only one last step left!

Although the steps have not been completed, there is no doubt that this matter has been dragged into a dispute.

But even so, Murphy gritted his teeth and said

“But Master Mage, Master Earl has already spoken to give the Mage Tower to the Acting President. This is what Master Earl meant!”

William was quite surprised when these words came out.

 He took out the Siren's Blood Crystal just to seduce him, so he couldn't really give it to the other party.

However, if the other party can work for him with peace of mind, then it is not impossible to sell it to the other party at the original price afterwards. Such an apprentice can still afford it, but there is no channel.

 But now looking at him like this, he has not been tempted by the crystal of the Siren's blood?

However, at this moment, another middle-aged apprentice stood up and spoke righteously.

“Even the Earl cannot confiscate the assets of the Mage Guild. The one who rebelled was Senter. He must have sold the ownership of the Mage Tower to the Guild because he knew he couldn’t stay. The Guild was also deceived..."

 Obviously, not all apprentices can resist the temptation brought by William.

Although doing this will definitely offend the Earl's Mansion, he may not be able to survive in Dunnuo City or even the Principality of Keton.

But if you really have a chance to obtain the crystal of Siren's blood, and if you have a chance to break through to the professional level, even if you are not a traditional mage, you can get it!

At this time, you can get away with relying on this big shot from Calais...
