Chapter 637: Court Mage Corps
Your Majesty, there are so many important people attending the wedding of Grand Duke Xinghuo, isn't their influence a bit too great?
Beside Roland, a short-haired middle-aged man in aristocratic attire whispered beside him that his name was Anthony, he was a cousin of Roland, he had the title of Marquis of the court, and he was Roland's court interior officer.
About half of the wealth in the entire Land Abandoned by God is in Starfire City. Almost every city and every force has business dealings with the Magic Council. Their influence is of course huge. Roland said as a matter of course.
Your Majesty, don't you think they are a bit too much? The limelight of this city has already surpassed the king's capital. If this continues, maybe in the Kingdom of Kuin, only Xinghuo City is known and Akuin City is not known. Speaker of the Magic Council, I don't know about you, Your Majesty. Anthony said a little excitedly.
Marquis Anthony, this is not something you should consider. You just need to do your job well. Don't try to influence my thoughts. Next time, you don't have to stay in this position. Roland said lightly Speaking to Anthony, Anthony bowed his head in cold sweat and retreated.
After he left, Roland fell into deep thought. Of course, he would not change his opinion of Horn because of Anthony's words, but as Anthony said, the Magic Council is a bit too powerful now.
Five years ago, ten cities could be annexed silently, but at that time the Magic Council did not have many masters, and only Horn was regarded as the top combat power, so Roland did not regard the Magic Council as a threat.
But when he came to the Magic Council this time, he found that the overall strength of the Magic Council was much stronger than five years ago, and the number of masters was much larger than before, and Horn himself was obviously stronger than before.
Right now, the Magic Council is still unable to pose a threat to his kingship, but if it develops at this speed, one day the Magic Council will grow enough to threaten the Akuin family.
So should he continue to win over the Magic Council, or should he take precautions against the Magic Council now? The potential shown by the Magic Council has completely exceeded Roland's expectations, which made him somewhat at a loss as to how to deal with it.
The king should be able to control all the forces in the territory, but the development of the magic council is obviously beyond his grasp.
While Roland was thinking, Anthony walked in again, bowed to Roland and said, Your Majesty, Grand Duke Xinghuo asks to see you.
The newlyweds come out to deal with affairs the next day. Our Grand Duke Spark is very diligent. Let him come in. Roland said jokingly.
Horn came in and bowed to Roland. Horn sat opposite Roland. Anthony placed fine wine on the table between the two of them, and the two talked with each other while drinking.
Your Majesty, I am really flattered that you can come to my wedding in person. If I knew you were coming, I should have let you be the witness.
You have made a great contribution to the kingdom. Thanks to you, the whole kingdom has become much richer than before. Of course, I will personally come here for your life-long event. How about it, the unicorn is satisfied. Roland Xiao He took a sip of wine and said that he had considered carefully the choice of the unicorn cub as a gift, because there were not many gifts that could make Horn look at him.
I really didn't expect you to give me such a valuable gift. Annie likes it very much. Thank you Your Majesty. You should come here this time and have something else to tell me. Horn didn't believe that Roland came here in person just for the sake of it. gift giving.
That's right, I do have something I want to ask for your opinion. Roland put the transparent wine glass on the table and said.
Horn was stunned for a moment. Roland is now the king of the entire Land Abandoned by the Gods. What does he need Horn's advice for? Just tell me what you want to do, and I will fully support it.
For so many years, I have seen your magicians turn decay into magic many times, and create things that can be called miracles. Magicians are indeed very powerful, so I also want some magicians. Roland said slowly, the corners of his eyes From the corner of his eye, he watched Horn's reaction.
What do you mean by wanting some magicians? Do you want me to give you some of the magicians from the Magic Council? Horn's tone became colder. If Roland was here to poach the wall, then Horn would not be very willing. It is absolutely impossible for him to directly give Roland a magician who has joined the council as a gift.
That's why I need to ask for your opinion, but it's slightly different from what you think. Roland still smiled and said: What I mean is that my Akuin royal family also wants to fund the establishment of an organization of magicians. The name is the Court Mages.
I don't want to ask someone directly from you. Forcibly asking someone from the nobles will ruin the royal family's prestige. Even if you are willing to give it to me, I don't dare to ask for it. I know that your magic council has not gathered all the magicians. In this regard It is authority, I want you to be a staff officer, how should my court mage group be established.
Your idea is feasible. Horn breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he is not eyeing the mages of the Magic Council, then he can say anything, Your Majesty does not know, the official council mages recruited by our Magic Council probably It only accounts for about one-third of all magicians, if you want to form a court mage group, you can recruit from those magicians who have not joined the parliament, and I will definitely not stop you.
If I want to recruit a magician, what should I do? Seeing that Horn readily agreed, Roland was a little surprised. He didn't expect Horn to agree so readily. He thought Horn would resolutely refuse, even Instead of giving him some obstacles, or making some demands with him.
After all, all the magicians were trained by Horn. Even if you don't look for the magicians who joined the Magic Council, recruiting other magicians can be regarded as poaching from Horn.
In fact, Roland didn't know something. As long as Horn ensures that a group of outstanding magicians join the Magic Council, and maintain the Magic Council's leading position in magic technology, and master the magician level assessment and trading power of magic coins, etc., he will be fine. It can make the status of the Magic Council unshakable.
As for the remaining magicians with slightly lower qualifications, Horn did not choose to recruit them all into the Magic Council.
One is because there is not much value and it is not easy to manage.
The second is not to let all the magicians gather around the magic council, but to spread branches and leaves throughout Ceylon, forming a unique magic civilization.
The third is that only relying on the Magic Council cannot give all the magicians the best development conditions, and can only give priority to the best batch of magicians. If other magicians can find other channels to make themselves stronger, then naturally the best.
