Chapter 536 Purpose - Disputes

   "It seems that Calais can't sit still..."

  In the Earl's Mansion, Earl Luke also had a little thought on his face after hearing Doffer's feedback.

   Calais Federation is very strong.

  The two archmages have been sitting in town for a long time, and they can obviously order them to move. This is much better than the situation in the Principality of Dia!

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

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

   As for the economy, there is nothing to say, hugging Leo Floating Void City's thigh, even if it just leaked something, it would still be full of oil.

   Has a lot of fame in the entire Middle-earth continent.

   How many top chambers of commerce dream of a single magical airship?

  Economic strength even crushed the sum of the four countries of the East Plain, and it exceeded several times!

Even the Ferro Empire next door can only be compared economically on the basis of its larger size, and its health cannot be compared with that of Calais. Moreover, it is said that the Ferro Empire has been deeply infiltrated by Calais. It was not the same before.

In addition to the Ferro Empire, the Duchy of Nott, which is across the sea from Calais, has almost become a dumping market for Calais. Calais' powerful business model easily defeated the small-scale farming economy of the Duchy of Nott, and a large number of farms fell into the in the hands of the merchant of Calais.

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

   And now the largest trade between Keton and the Principality of Nott, the exchange of ore from the Principality of Keton with the Principality of Nott, can also be regarded as being facilitated by Calais.

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

   And don't worry about these seeds leaking out, because it will degenerate naturally after two or three generations of cultivation, and a corresponding breeding method is necessary.

   This trade has always been going smoothly.

  Dunno City has also enjoyed the bonus for so long.

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

  Especially this time when there was a conflict between the Kingdom of Yidai and the Principality of Dia, the price of food soared several times, which made him feel the seriousness of the problem.

  The soaring price of food is largely due to the impact of the food shipped from the Principality of Nott.

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

  If it wasn't for the assassination, he might have to follow up and come up with some countermeasures...

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

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

   "Is it a coincidence that the assassination was sent over just after the assassination..."

  Count Luke frowned slightly.

  The assassination is still under investigation. Although Master Sente has asked for some clues, they are all broken by the Moonlight Brotherhood.

   It is also difficult to find the employer's information from the Moonlight Brotherhood.

   It’s just that for Luke, he doesn’t want any evidence. To put it bluntly, this level of assassination is involved. Even if there is evidence, it is meaningless.

   It mainly depends on the strength of both parties!

   If you can directly suppress the other side, you have a strong claim that you can start a war, just like the situation between the Kingdom of Yidai and the Principality of Dia.

   But even if it is as strong as the Yidai Kingdom, its overall national strength is higher than that of the Principality of Dia, and there is still the excuse of the assassination of the crown prince, but it is still in a stalemate.

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

  Even the Principality of Yidai is like this, and the Principality of Keton, which is not considered a strong country, is naturally even more powerless.

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

  What Luke wants to know is who is targeting him so that he can take precautions.

It stands to reason that the Yidai Kingdom is the most suspected. The current King Yidai is known as the number one powerhouse in the Astor Plain. He also has a flying dragon mount, has the title of Dragon Knight, and even received two blessings from the Temple of the Moon God. , as well as some of the blessings he has mastered.

  Although he has never really fought in terms of strength, but relying on the opponent's record, Luke thought to himself that even if the opponent didn't have the help of the flying dragon, he and the opponent would be at odds, and he was three!

   It's just that although there is still a gap in strength at present, Luke is younger than the opponent, and he is not distracted by the way of specializing in knighthood. In turn, the probability of breaking through the legend may be higher.

  So being targeted by Yidai Kingdom fearfully, this is a question that doesn't require any evidence, just take a stand.

  Maybe because of the conflict with the Principality of Dia this time, people can’t spare a shot, worrying that a lot of energy will be locked in the Principality of Dia, so try to find the Brotherhood of Moonlight?

  Being able to receive the protection of the Temple of the Moon God shows that he is a devout follower of the Moon God, and to some extent he can enjoy himself in the Moonlight Brotherhood.

  Federal Luke of Calais has also considered it, but at the beginning the suspicion was placed in the back row.

   But now...

   Now that they come here directly, it is obvious that the person who came here is not good. Whether they are upright and not afraid of the slanting shadow, or they don't care about their own doubts, or it is indeed their intention to come here to reflect, it is hard to say.

   "When are they going to the Mage Tower?"

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

   "It should be over today after taking a break. I may ask the Merchant Guild for some information. Their influence in the Merchant Guild is also quite large."

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

  Count Luke got up and took his top hat and put it on.

  A powerful mage with a mysterious identity who edited elf-style songs according to the prophecy, and on the one hand is an evil guest from the Calais Federation.

   To be reasonable, to maximize the benefits, it is best to let them have conflicts and sit behind the scenes to adjust according to the actual situation.

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

   You still have to be there when it’s time to be there, but you can first observe the situation in Doffer’s carriage to see who will be persuaded by the Calais.

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

  However, since I am sitting in this position, I have to perform my duties.

  Whether it’s Yidai or Calais, since you are using this kind of assassination method that can’t be put on the table, it shows that you are not ready to be tough now...

  …

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

  William, who came out of the guest house and got into the carriage to head towards the mage tower, also got detailed information about Master Yi from the chamber of commerce.

In fact, he had already heard the song "The Savage Out of the Mountain" in Calais. It was catchy and easy to understand, and the key point was that it was extracted for free. Hierarchical favorites.

   It's just that I just listened to this song at the beginning, and didn't pay much attention to it.

  But after coming here, I learned some different news from the chamber of commerce!

   Savage really appeared!

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

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

   This is really confusing.

   In addition, the acting president also sang a new birthday song at the banquet, which is also a standard fairy style.

   And the difficulty has obviously risen to a level.

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

  "Interesting guy, although I don't know who arranged this assassination, but now I'm giving up this kind of interest to let me do these things, some guys in the Federation may not be able to get away with it..."

  William's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm.

  Anyway, I came here for Mithril, as long as there are enough benefits, this is not impossible!

  However, regarding the opponent's 'chain' magic in the intelligence, he couldn't think of which one it was for a while.

  Mages create too many spells, and the cost performance is also strong and weak. Generally, the most common ones are the ones with the best cost performance.

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

   Directly penetrate the human body without leaving scars, and also cause great pain?

  Substantial soul attack?

  It is almost instant and can be used multiple times. Even if it is engraved in advance, it means that the opponent is not a newcomer who has just entered the official mage.

   Looking younger than 30 years old, I don't know if it's real age or fake.

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

  Because of the limitation of bloodline, although the spells that warlocks can master are limited, they usually master several types based on their own bloodlines. However, in their own field of expertise, warlocks can even surpass mages in casting speed and strength.

   But speaking of it, one of the side missions I came here was to find a great warlock who might be living in seclusion in Dunno City.

   It should be the 'magic blood warlock' who disappeared many years ago. Judging from some of the opponent's performance before his disappearance, it is likely that he was caught in the blood rush that even warlocks fear, and he doesn't know what's going on now.

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

  The hemolytic stone can help warlocks to suppress the blood pulse in the body to a certain extent. As long as this person can be found, then this strange thing is enough to attract a powerful warlock for the Federation, which is also a great achievement...

   Chapter 807

   "... So, a mage can't follow the rules, and can't be too rigid. After understanding the basic principles, if you think you can improve, you need to actively try, even in the apprenticeship stage..."

  Wang Yi looked at the five apprentices who listened carefully to his explanation, and was a little speechless.

  Sent is such a waste, what he teaches is all crooked melons and rotten dates.

  Although they are all apprentices of mages, they still don't even understand some core characteristics of mages.

  Creating a crime...

   "Mentor, our apprentices' knowledge accumulation is not enough, there may be a situation where we think there is no problem but actually there is a problem, and what should we do if the rash modification is dangerous?"

  The magic Daji Niya also raised her pink wrist at this time, and asked a question curiously.

  Wants to seduce Wang Yigui, wants to seduce, 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 Academy of Magic, but the strongest teacher at Keton Academy of Magic is just a formal mage, so it is better to stay in the mage tower for this traditional small class teaching.

   “It's nice to have the courage to ask questions.”

  Wang Yi first praised, but then said

"So to learn the basic principles solidly and master the magic power is what you need to do most now. There is no need to start learning complicated spell models now. When you first try, you can choose magic that is not dangerous. There are so many spells, don't keep staring at those destructive and offensive ones, if you only want these, it's much easier to specialize in a few commonly used attack spells and directly advance to the professional level..."

   After finishing speaking, Wang Yi ignored these apprentices and got up directly.

   That is to say, the pouring of the mage tower has not been completed yet, so I took some time to appease the group of workers, and after the pouring was completed, I found a way to connect Lin Shiqin, and then handed it over to Lin Shiqin to dismiss them.

   "Okay, let's stop here today."

  Wang Yi waved his hand casually.

   "Mentor, I still have some questions that I want to ask in private~"

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

   "Oh, it's worth encouraging to be so diligent and studious, come up, let me test your skills..."

  …

   "The mage's tower is very magnificent."

  William looked up at the tower. It was taller than his mage tower, but from the material point of view, it should be the kind built with ordinary materials. It is valuable, but it is worse than his own mage tower.

  However, with such a large basic disk, if materials are used for subsequent transformation, this mage tower still has potential.

   No wonder I arranged for myself to come here as soon as I got the news.

   does have its own value of existence!

   It would be a waste if it fell into the hands of those ordinary mages, and it still needs rich and powerful forces to complete the secondary transformation to make full use of it.

   "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

   Originally the guild's Royal Sister Lai Si at the front desk, with a polite and elegant smile, brushed the ends of her hair, got up from behind the front desk and came out to ask.

  She didn't get any notice in advance, but William's own attire and the golden tiger behind him all showed that their identities were not simple.

  Rice works at the Mage Guild, so she has developed her eyesight. There is a high probability that she is from Calais, and she may be a mage or a member of parliament!

  I heard that the examination team of the acting president of the examination school came from the Federation of Calais, could it be them?

   Is this a special surprise attack?

   It seems that it is a bit inconsistent with the traditions of Dunno City. Normally, Earl Luke would give face.

  Although many thoughts flashed through Lai Si'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 party practiced an instinctive standing posture, which could easily reflect his excellent figure.

  The face is also well-dressed.

  The guys here know how to enjoy themselves, but as a mage, it's 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 performance, with a cold tone.

  This kind of tone made Laisi's expression froze slightly.

   Sure enough, they are from the assessment team!

   And I feel a little resentful, what's going on?

  But I didn't even know that the other party was coming today, and the acting president didn't notify me. I thought it might be their surprise attack.

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

  It's unlikely...

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

   Naturally, he didn’t dare to participate in this kind of confrontation, so he could only bow his head and say

   "I'm going to ask for instructions."

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

   said with an impatient expression on his face

   "What? Isn't this the president who wants to give us a bad blow first?"

   At this time, Lily and An An, the two original maids of the Mage Guild, had already come over with tea and snacks, but seeing the atmosphere of the scene, the two beautiful maids in standard maid outfits were also disturbed.

   "Calm down, both of you, I'm really sorry, our president is currently busy with experiments, so we may have to wait for him a little longer."

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

  He was also suffering from the bottom of 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 hasn't picked them up yet? Even lecturing us?

   Even going to 'guidance' Niya after the lecture?

   Still bringing Catwoman to guide?

   Damn it!

  What's the situation!

  Murphy is also considered an old apprentice, and has served the former Master Center for a long time.

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

   It can be said that Master Sente was originally an old and dishonest person, but it was just because of his age that he had more than enough energy and strength.

  Compared to this, the new president who brought three glamorous and seductive catgirls with him is much more upright.

   It's just that you can't be on top at this time, so what's the matter now.

   "Busy about experiments? President?"

   After hearing this, William laughed in reverse.

"He is still an agent now, not the president. He knows that we are coming here today to be 'busy with experiments'? Doesn't he take us too seriously? We represent the Mages Guild and the face of the Calais Federation. !"

  After William said this, magical lines appeared all over his body. There seemed to be streamers and light spots revolving around him continuously, and the faint stars behind him seemed to be dotted, which seemed extremely powerful.

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

   Rao is that Murphy is close to the spirit of a formal mage, and his face turns pale at this time.

  This, this mental oppression is much stronger than that of Master Center back then!

  High-level mage!

how come?

  It's just an assessment, how come a high-level mage came directly?

  Recommended by Earl Luke, it should just go through the motions!

   Is it possible that something will happen?

  Looks younger than himself, but his mental strength is already so strong.

  If it is really a high-level mage, then I am afraid it is still a seedling of the archmage, a genius who has the opportunity to break through the archmage.

this…

  What should I do!

  Master President, you really threw a difficult matter to this old man.

  How can I, an elderly apprentice with old arms and legs, take on such a heavy responsibility...

"Huh, since the acting president is not here, let's assume that he is absent from the exam. Maybe he is not a mage himself, but an ordinary spellcaster pretending to be a mage to hide. If he fails the exam, the guild will accept a new president soon. "

  William directly took advantage of the topic and put on a gesture of rage.

  Combined with the tide of magic around him, all the people on the scene were breathless.

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

  Chapter 808 Dispute

  William's tone was very flat, which seemed to be a matter of course.

   But this book is also one of his main tasks here!

  The acting president of the Mage Guild branch and the Mage Tower must win one, and it is of course best to win both.

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

  And if it is really so strong and looks so young, then there is no need to offend too hard. When it is time to beat, you must beat, but you must relax.

   It might even be possible to use the relationship of the Federation of Calais to draw in reverse.

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

  So at the beginning, his purpose was to make a fuss about this mage tower. Before the other party didn't come to pick up his business, he just took a break.

   Turns out, good guy now, the other party knew that he was coming today, but it seemed that he didn't even notify the front desk?

   And did an experiment?

   Directly throwing himself, the examiner, aside?

   Once the picture crystal is recorded, then even if Earl Luke speaks, he can have a basis for it.

  Of course he couldn't let go of the words that fell on his hands!

  I was planning to come here and make a fuss, but now it's actually considered sleepy and hitting the pillow.

  He can generally understand that this is the attitude expressed by the acting chairman, and reverses his blow to himself.

   But it's a pity that I occupy the name of the Mage Guild General Assembly and occupy the general trend, so I can take advantage of the opportunity to seize the right to speak!

   "The industry of the Mage Guild?"

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

   This is what is unknown about the assessment team and the acting president?

   Or was it involved in a power competition at the level of the Earl's Mansion?

   In terms of loyalty, Murphy has just met Wang Yi not long ago, and Murphy doesn't have any loyalty issues.

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

  You can think of the knowledge points explained by the acting president before, and the simple words can make people suddenly understand the essence of teaching, and the age of the acting president.

  Murphy also gritted his teeth at this time and said

"Master Your Excellency, I served here when this mage tower was first established. As far as I know, this mage tower was originally built by the previous Earl of Dunno for Master Sente. The third floor was borrowed to make it easier for the Mages Guild to carry out its business. After Master Sente was involved in the assassination this time, the ownership was once again taken back by the Earl's Mansion and given 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 come forward and point out the problem.

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

   "I know your information, right, Murphy, the first apprentice, has been hard-working and diligent. Over the years, he has reached the pinnacle of apprenticeship, and he can configure some common potions to complete some common enchantments."

   Come to the chamber of commerce here, with his energy, he can naturally call out the information of everyone in the mage tower.

   Even chefs and maids know it!

  Murphy was the one who spent the most pen and ink besides the mysterious composer mage.

  Because Murphy's ability is really good, he is also diligent in doing things, he practices step by step, and he also has certain potion and enchanting skills.

   While speaking, he took out a red crystal from his pocket and said

   "This is the crystallization of the blood of the siren. Although it is a bit tasteless for a formal mage to break through, if you only focus on a few specific spell models, complete the spiritual solidification and enter the professional level, then you can at least increase the probability by 30%."

   Taking out the blood crystal of the siren made Murphy's pupils constrict slightly, and he couldn't help swallowing.

  He is not young anymore!

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

   This is indeed something that hits his weakness!

   It is also an auxiliary item that Murphy has specially studied the data.

  As far as the price is concerned, the blood crystal of the siren is about two thousand gold coins.

After saving for so many years, Murphy, who still has some medicine and enchanting skills, gritted his teeth and was able to come up with such a huge sum of money, but the problem is that the blood crystal of the sea monster is still a priceless thing, not just money bought.

   There must be channels.

   Calais has a much stronger magical atmosphere than Keton, as do its resources, and because it is an isolated peninsula hanging overseas, there are many maritime merchants coming and going.

   Most of the information about the blood crystals of the siren in the vicinity comes from the Federation of Calais. Given the atmosphere of the Federation of Calais advocating magic, it is difficult to spread it.

  Even if you don’t use it, there will be big forces to buy it and keep it. This…

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

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

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

  With this piece of parchment, you can go to the city hall to register the copy for rubbing. It is a property authentication method with anti-counterfeiting function, which is a bit similar to the 'bank card' that the bard guild gave Wang Yi before.

  After taking it out, Murphy also felt a little dumbfounded.

  Because Saint would never tell him clearly what he did, so he naturally didn't know about it.

   Now seeing that the contract certificate is in the hands of the other party is also a bit dazed.

"There is still 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, but the previous procedures have been completed, and this mage tower already belongs to the city hall. The property of the Mage Guild is correct."

   Then William took the assignment contract and pointed to the time on it.

  The date above 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 still gritted his teeth and said

   "But Master Mage, the Earl has already opened the mouth to give the Mage Tower to the acting president. This is the meaning of the Earl!"

   As soon as these words came out, William was quite surprised.

  He took out the blood crystal of the siren to seduce him, and it is impossible to give it to the other party.

  However, if the other party does things for him with peace of mind, 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 looking at him now, he was not tempted by the blood crystal of the sea monster?

  However, at this time, another middle-aged apprentice stood up and said righteously

   "Even the Earl can't confiscate the assets of the Mage Guild. The one who rebelled was Sente. 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 could resist the temptation William brought.

  Although doing so would definitely offend the Earl's Mansion, it might not be able to survive in Dunno City or even the Duchy of Keton.

  But if you really have the chance to obtain the blood crystal of the siren, and have the opportunity to break through to the professional level, even if you are not a traditional mage, then you can go to the world!

   At a time like this, the big man who came to Calais for refuge can also get away with it...

  ——

update completed…
