"Hurry up and send people to seize the ruins of the ancient giants!" Archmage Qidaluoq said in a serious tone, with a fierce expression on his old and slack face: "Nelem, from now on, the Golden Crown Wood Dominion will be temporarily placed under your jurisdiction.
, I will report to the Queen and Balrog. You must control the ancient giant ruins!"
"Yes!" Master Nelum received another communication and continued: "Currently, the church has begun to take over Lagen City, while the remaining members of the Officine Guards remain in a small place called Woodpile Town. It is said that they have obtained the local
The refuge of man.”
"The arcane guards we sent out were at most led by mid-level mages. If the Red Earl really intercepted and killed them, it would be good to save their lives." A Lord Deante sneered.
"But if it is true that the church killed the Red Earl and occupied the city of Lagen, then their intention is very obvious. Those gangs of magicians have always planned to establish their own power in the New World, and even the guys who copied the scholastic school moved out the teachings.
Allowing the natives to convert has really made many native slaves docile and no longer think about rebellion all day long."
A mage present retorted: "But the magicians cannot be trusted after all. If we allow them to develop and grow, our control over the production of materials in various places will be severely reduced. The gang of profiteers and loan shark vampires from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will suddenly become devout believers of the church.
Just to earn a few more copper coins!"
Archmage Zidarok suddenly asked: "Is the Red Earl a member of the 'Eye of Mystery'?"
Master Nelum replied: "A peripheral member who is not popular, the area around Lagen City he rules is too remote and is not taken seriously."
Archmage Chidarok rolled his eyes and came up with a plan, and said: "Relay the news that the Red Earl was killed by the church and Lagen City was occupied through other channels to the 'Eye of Mystery', and let them deal with the church.
. Let’s just focus on the ancient giant ruins. Nelem, you are solely responsible for this matter.”
Master Nelum bowed his head in agreement, and Archmage Qidaluoke continued: "Nowadays, there is unrest in all parts of the New and Old Continents. I can tell you that Archmage Doragon brought the silver dragon that had just completed its evolution, which is considered an iron
Determined to break with the 'Eye of Mystery', the Queen and a group of people are negotiating with him, hoping to win him over as an ally.
But the current situation is not optimistic. Doragon also plans to establish a dragon kingdom. He has gathered a large number of lizards and orcs under his command, and even roped in a bunch of chiefs of Nahasa to control the mineral deposits in the wasteland of Nahasa. If it is not handled well, it will be a disaster.
A big battle."
A mage asked: "A kingdom of dragons? Isn't Doragon, the dragon doctor's love for dragons a little morbid?"
Archmage Qi Darok sneered: "The Queen guessed that this old freak Doragon is probably an extremely rare dragon-veined warlock. However, his arcane achievements reached the legendary level very early. He has relied on studying dragons for hundreds of years.
Magic actually concealed his true talent. Now that he has successfully guided a sub-dragon to evolve, of course he no longer has to hide it!"
The other mages present looked at each other in confusion. Although legendary mages are powerful, currently no legendary mages have said that they want to establish a country by themselves. This is not because there is any law prohibiting legendary mages from doing this, but that when mages reach the legendary level, it is just for
Two things at work - longer lifespan and more powerful spellcasting ability.
Although some mages believe that their ultimate goal is all truth and knowledge, when it comes to actual performance, it is nothing more than who lives longer and whose magic is more powerful.
However, these two things alone are enough to keep the legendary mage busy. If you really want to become the ruler of a country, you have to deal with the wrangling of officials at all levels all day long. Whether the national taxation and production are stable, there will be either floods here or famines there.
, for mages who are immersed in arcane research, these things are simply a waste of time.
This is why after the establishment of the Magic Council, mages stationed in various places are usually in the form of consultants, and few directly serve as local governors. Especially mages who pursue further improvement of their spellcasting abilities, their daily arcane research is full and busy.
, even if a governor is given the position of king, he may not be willing to take it.
What's more, the Great Londinium Empire is still strong. To establish a country in the southern part of the empire, the pressure is very heavy. The rulers of such a country must be busy with various administrative matters. Even if they really have a long life, they will not be able to enjoy the blessings from above.
ok?
"That's right, there are so many women waiting for me to do it! Build a country? Are you crazy? How many people will die? Old guys always have these unrealistic ideals." Master Nelum shook his head in his heart and sighed:
"Haha, judging from the attitude of old ghost Darok, he must be envious of Doragon's healthy and long-lived body, right? Who calls him a Dragon Vein Warlock? Now he is accompanied by a dragon and two legendary strong men,"
The Eye of Mystery doesn’t dare to risk its life easily, right?”
"Nelem, in addition to controlling the ancient giant ruins, you also have one more thing to do." Archmage Qidaluoq's words interrupted Master Nelem's reverie: "The Golden Crown Wood Dominion is already a pioneering frontier.
Now, there is basically no obstacle to signing the peace treaty. Now that the Red Earl is dead, our Pentagram Tower can take the initiative to reach contact with the indigenous people."
Master Nelum was a little stunned when he heard this, and asked: "Contact with the indigenous people? Does the Archmage want us to support the power of the indigenous tribes?"
Archmage Qi Darok nodded and said: "That's it! The signing of the peace treaty this time shows that it will be difficult for the Imperial Legion to expand on a large scale in the short term. Under the control of the Sky Singer, the indigenous alliance will form a complete country sooner or later. If it is true.
Letting them integrate all the indigenous people will put great pressure on our cause in the New World, so before they succeed in expansion, we must support the indigenous forces close to the Pentagram Tower."
"Has the Queen's consent been obtained for this matter?" Nelum asked worriedly, after all, this was no small matter.
Archmage Zidarok replied: "This is the Queen's personal request. With the current situation, I think you all understand that Sir Siddons no longer has the ability to manage affairs. As the strength of the Imperial Legion shrinks, the five of us
The external strategy of the Tower of Stars must also be changed accordingly. It cannot attack from all sides like the 'Eye of Mystery', but must occupy a favorable commanding height.
I know that some of you may not attach great importance to contacting the indigenous people and building up forces, but I advise you to understand that you cannot kill all the people. The emergence of the indigenous alliance is enough to prove this! As long as we want to develop in the New World for a long time
, it is inevitable to have to deal with the local indigenous people. In this case, it is better to have one more ally than one more enemy, and an ally that depends on us."
Someone immediately asked: "Then why not reach out to the Sky Singers of the Major League?"
"A legendary spirit messenger whose true identity has yet to be ascertained is completely out of our control." Archmage Qi Darok showed a sly smile: "Besides, leave such an enemy behind and let him follow the secret
Isn't it more in line with the interests of the Pentagram Tower to compete with the Eye?"
Everyone at the meeting nodded. Although they are both a mage organization, the Tower of Pentagram has always been wary of the Eye of Arcana. As a pioneer on the road of arcana, the Eye of Arcana is very powerful. 40% of the seats in the Magic Council are exclusively occupied by his family. The Empire
Most of the interests are related to it, and some people even jokingly call the "Eye of Mystery" the shadow cabinet of the empire.
"Nelem, you immediately ask the member of the Officine Guard to find out if there are any indigenous tribes nearby, and if so, find out what they need. If necessary, the Pentagram Tower can provide corresponding help!"
Archmage Qi Darok said seriously:
"Everyone! Once the legion signs a peace treaty with the natives, conflicts of interest within the empire will emerge one after another! In the future, you will no longer be happy lying on a woman's belly! If you want to keep your current good life, call me.
Cheer up! Clean up the people under you again. Those who are talented and can take risks should be promoted. Those who are incompetent and can only flatter you will be kicked away to dig snails!"
…
"Oh, Titus is quite smart." Xuan Weizi stood on the edge of a high cliff, looking down at the spotted beast tribe being driven away by the wind jackal tribe.
Wolf heard this next to him and asked: "What did that mage do?"
Xuan Weizi left a bird scout in Chai Dui Town specifically to keep in touch with Titus, and learned that he had sent a message to the top management of the Pentagram Tower.
"He put the matter of the interception and killing of the Offensive Guards on the Crimson Earl, and the Crimson Earl's death on the Church. This kind of only saying what others want to hear is the best way to confuse others." Xuan Weizi smiled.
road.
Wolf was a little worried: "But after all, we are the ones doing it. What if those mages use prophecy spells?"
Xuan Weizi touched his chin and replied: "Prophecy spells cannot detect everything clearly, and the strength of Ta Valon and I should interfere with the detection of some prophecy spells. Not to mention Theus
By actively lying, their own suspicions should be reduced a lot, and he also reported the ancient giant ruins."
"This...doctor, aren't you worried about those mages taking over the ruins?" Wolf asked.
"I'm not a treasure hunter. I'm not interested in the golden treasures inside." Xuan Weizi said: "What I care about is the magical principles of the ancient giant ruins, and I can't understand the whole picture just by groping alone.
.I just need someone who knows something about giant magic and ruins, so that I can better explore and understand it."
"Then doctor, do you also have this idea of taking in that aborigine?" Wolf then smiled obscenely: "Hey, or should I say, doctor, you have taken care of that female aborigine?"
Xuan Weizi hit Wolf on the head with Biyun Ruyi and said: "It's true that I used her for experiments, but her results alone are not enough. In the future, there may be more indigenous people living in Chaidui Town, and from now on
The effect of 'soul refining and divine connection' has been tested on many people, which is of great help to me in understanding the world."
"Uh...what does this mean?" Wolf asked, scratching his head.
Xuan Weizi looked at the distant sky and said: "The development of any miraculous powers cannot be achieved by a few isolated strongmen or masters, but requires a large number of talents. Not only talents at different stages in the past and present
, we also need talents with different living environments and cultural backgrounds in space, as well as talents from all walks of life and various groups."
Wolf opened his mouth and asked, "Ah? Is it that exaggerated?"
Xuan Weizi smiled and said: "It's just like the mage's arcana. If there is no need for combat, why are there various powerful evocation systems? In contrast, there will also be a need for the development of protective spells and transformation spells.
If there was not a need for communication, why would there be various teleportation spells of the conjuration system? In order to restrict them, there would be corresponding births of protective spells such as 'dimensional anchor' and 'anti-magic field'.
Arcane can develop to the scale it is today not only because of the flexibility and diversity of Arcane's development potential, but also because the people involved in Arcane development come from different levels and environments of society, and have different perspectives and thinking patterns on things. Moreover,
The knowledge of past mages can be passed down to this day, allowing future generations to supplement and correct it. Even arcana itself is the spellcasting system with the lowest requirements for talent and qualifications, although there are still requirements."
"That seems to be the meaning." Wolf asked: "Did the Emerald Ring decline because it was not as developed as the mage's arcana?"
"This may be part of the reason." Xuan Weizi said: "It is mainly due to the development of the spell-casting system, which also relies on the cultivation of the organization. As for the druid spells I learned from Tar Valon, there are also many powerful ones.
The effect is rich, but there are problems in their talent training. This may be related to the learning of druid spells, and also to the organizational form of the Green Ring itself.
Just like your violent transformation, this transformation ability originally came from a group of Gudrui called "Shapechangers", but the process of reproducing Gudrui's spell in the Emerald Ring did not go smoothly.
Instead, we use drugs and experiments to forcibly transplant this ability into the human body."
Wolf pointed at himself and said: "Doctor, do you mean, am I like this or have they successfully improved?"
"It's hard to say whether it's progress, but it's still an attempt." Xuan Weizi said: "Now there is a ready-made specimen, do you want to learn from it?"
Wolf looked over and saw that in the cocoon of starlight on the other side of Xuan Wei Zi, Sai Kazan, who was covered with fine force field needles all over his body, was twitching slightly. He seemed to still want to struggle, but he couldn't even blink.
"This... what do I want to learn? I don't have to be like her, right?" Wolf would rather have a piece of flesh cut off with a big ax than have needles stuck all over his body. It looks creepy!
Xuan Weizi smiled and said: "What's the point of relying on needles? She used special means to transform and alienate her body, while you were transformed and alienated by external intervention. But her efficiency in using body functions is far higher than yours
