"Do competitions also need to be held under the age of ten? Your Highness Muria, can this be cancelled? People under the age of ten are just children who have not grown up well." The finance minister said with some pain. He felt that the golden dragon ruling prince
Are there any misunderstandings about them humans?
Although the time for humans to enter adulthood is very short compared to dragons, they are not yet ready to fight at the age of ten.
"Your Majesty, the five stages are too many. Those under ten years old can be eliminated. Even those between eleven and fifteen years old are not necessary. How many children in this age group can be
Strong strength?"
Several more ministers came forward and said that Muria's decision would involve too much manpower and material resources. They could not make Muria give up on this decision, but they could let Muria reduce some of its tasks.
After all, no matter what decision Muria makes, it is ultimately them, the ministers, who will carry it out. A typical king talks and his subjects run away. If you can try to make yourself as relaxed as possible, then be more relaxed. Let's talk about teenagers.
There is really no need to compete.
"Hmph, do you think the current kingdom is still the kingdom thirty years ago?" Muria snorted, "We all know that there are many geniuses in the kingdom now, but how many geniuses are there and how strong they are, I guess you guys
Guys, they don’t have the time or interest to understand.”
"Mia, show these 'big shots' the genius information you have collected so that they can see how evil their country's geniuses are."
"My lords, please take a look." Mia, who was standing next to Muria, waved with a reserved and calm smile. A famous attendant entered the hall through the side door and delivered some shocking-looking information to these heavy-handed people.
In the hands of the rich and powerful.
"Essef, eight years old, a first-level silver mage, met a group of thieves on the way out for fun, and then Yisef single-handedly slaughtered the group of 134 thieves. Among them, there were
The leader of the second-level silver level was also killed by him with a crushing force..."
"Nord, his origin is unknown, his age is tentatively estimated to be thirteen years old, his strength is Silver Level 4, he possesses some unknown explosive combat skills, which can greatly increase his combat power, and he can be promoted to gold level in a short time. The burst time is tentatively determined to be one moment.
Zhong. Reason: I once used explosive combat skills to seriously injure a second-level gold vampire."
"..."
The dignitaries in the council hall looked at the information on various geniuses collected by Muria's people. The more they looked at it, the more astonished their faces became. Many people could not hold back the expressions on their faces and kept muttering in their mouths.
Muttering to oneself means mumbling words such as "impossible".
"Your Highness Muria, these genius information..."
"I have confirmed it again and again. You don't have to worry about me deceiving you with false information."
"Of course you won't fool us with lies."
"Does anyone still think that the two lowest age stages need to be cancelled?" Muria asked expressionlessly.
"The great prince is wise, but we are foolish."
"It's not surprising if you don't know." Muria waved her hand and didn't care. These guys don't have as many secret agencies to provide information as they do. It's normal that they don't know many things. "Continue to discuss matters related to the competition."
"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, if it is divided into five stages, wouldn't it mean that the top genius of the five kingdoms will be competed in the end?"
"That's right." Muria smiled, "We can't let a thirty-year-old adult compete with a ten-year-old child for first place. This is too unfair. Even if it is divided into five stages, it is just
It’s just relatively fair.”
... Time passed slowly during the discussions between Muria and these powerful people. Because the scope involved was too wide, and Muria had almost no restrictions except the age limit, the number of contestants that could be met was absolutely
Like a crucian carp crossing a river.
In the early stages of the competition, the Kingdom, as the organizer, has to bear considerable pressure. In the later stages, as the real geniuses are screened out, the organizational pressure will gradually decrease.
After all the matters related to this game, such as the competition format, time, venue, and rewards, were discussed, the sun had already set and risen twice.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." The energetic Muria looked at these dignitaries with tired faces with a smile. Fortunately, they are all existences with extraordinary power. Otherwise, ordinary people would definitely die suddenly if they let him go through such a torment.
several.
"For the sake of the kingdom's strength and stability, these are all things that should be done." After hearing Muria's encouragement to them, a noble who had become a little confused due to overthinking subconsciously replied that it has become their duty to deal with such polite words.
instinct.
"Then you should work harder. First go down and arrange personnel to start the publicity work for this competition. You must let many people know about this competition in the shortest possible time. Registration for the competition will begin in half a month."
After hearing Muria's order, many ministers and nobles who were so sleepy that they wanted to fall asleep stared at the noble who had just spoken with resentment, but in the end they had no choice but to compromise and go down to arrange personnel first.

…
In the Lockman Kingdom, in a certain city in a certain province, a young man carrying a battle ax excitedly came to a villa near the center of the city, and kicked open the fine steel specially made by the owner of the villa.
Courtyard gate.
"Ainz, stop messing with those bottles and jars of yours and come out and follow me. Something great is coming."
Not paying attention to the extra footprints on the courtyard door, the young man with an ax on his back sniffed the strange smell in the courtyard full of herbs, walked into the door of the luxuriously decorated villa, held his breath, and pushed it open
door.
As expected, the corrosive green mist did not appear, leaving the ax-carrying boy stunned. Then he walked into the villa with a happy face, carrying a battle ax equal to his height. He looked burly and majestic, but his body looked a bit clumsy.
It was unexpectedly light and agile, and the young man avoided objects such as specimens and test tubes in the living room.
"Ainz, have you successfully developed your new potion?" He found the owner of this house by a familiar route. He was wearing dirty-looking mage robes, thick crystal glasses, and a full beard.
A guy who is not much different from a middle-aged man.
"Bang!" As soon as the ax-carrying boy finished speaking, the potion that was being prepared in the crucible and exuded the fragrance of plants exploded directly. After a thick stream of green smoke, it turned into a pot of black paste, exuding a difficult smell.
The smell is foul.
"Ya Heng, if I fail to refine the potion this time, you will bear the cost of it." Ainz, who was not surprised that he failed to make the potion, shirked his responsibility with a calm expression, "Then, what are you doing to me?
