Chapter 532 Template-Calais Federation
The Mages Guild is a relatively loose but extremely influential organization, and the chief of Leo Floating City serves as the honorary president.
However, the Mages Guild and Leo Floating City are not the same and have no affiliation. The honorary president does not have the power to interfere directly. The latter is an actual force and can even be regarded as a wizard kingdom, while the Mages Guild is for A loose organization established for the convenience of mages.
The honorary president does not have any actual direct management power, but of course, Leo Floating City is a holy place for mages, and it is still quite big for the Mages Guild to exert influence.
At the same time, in order not to cause resistance from various countries, the appointment of the branch president of the Mages Guild will still consider the local situation. A strong lord like Earl Luke will directly propose the candidate. As long as he is an official mage, he will agree, and those in weaker places will also know. Will say goodbye to the pier.
In addition to providing some conveniences to mages and apprentices, the Mage Guild also has two very important meanings of existence.
One is to recruit some mage seedlings and recommend them to various magic academies.
The second is to facilitate some communication among members.
Mages themselves are also a group that needs to be studied, studied, and discussed. And because the number of mages is relatively rare, such discussions are usually rare.
The purpose of some mages traveling is to go to mages' towers to exchange experiences with other mages.
However, also because of the number of mages, the business of the Mages Guild is not busy on a daily basis.
Things like potions and enchantments are divided into separate guilds. After all, some magic craftsmen are not considered mages!
However, most of the top pharmacists and top enchanters are also mages. A craftsman who does not understand the principles cannot become a master.
Occasionally, ordinary magic craftsmen will appear. Because they have been immersed in it for many years, they slowly realize the truth, their skills are close to the Tao, and then they follow the path of the mage in the opposite direction.
It's just that such examples are quite rare. Every one that appears can be sung and spread by bards, and it is also the goal and dream of many people.
Because some of the main tedious functions have been arranged, the Dunnuo City Mage Guild only has three or two kittens, except for the former President Senter.
There are five magic apprentices in total, two cleaning maids, one chef and one receptionist.
Master Senter participated in the assassination and was suppressed on the spot.
The reason for not executing him directly was to interrogate him, which was to give the Mages Guild some face and let them clean up their own affairs.
When the news reached the Mage Tower, everyone here still felt panicked.
However, if Senter accepted this kind of job that required strict confidentiality, there was a high probability that they would not let them know. Earl Luke was not a person who liked to express his anger, so they released them all after interrogating them overnight and eliminating the suspicion.
It was precisely because of the overnight interrogation that they seemed quite honest and cooperative when Wang Yi came to take over the mage tower. When Wang Yi and others came down, the group of tool men were still doing some sorting according to Wang Yi's requirements. .
After Wang Yi and the others came down, one of them quickly stopped what he was doing and came over to say hello
"President."
"Well, Murphy, you ask them all to come over. I have a few words to say."
Wang Yi looked at the apprentice and nodded. Murphy was already over fifty in age, and his hair also had some gray in it.
His own spiritual accumulation is also very rich, and he has studied several models thoroughly. In terms of the casting speed and power of those spells, they are not much inferior to the official mage.
Unfortunately, his talent is still limited. Although he has worked hard for so many years, it is still not easy to cross the threshold of a formal mage.
Now you should be preparing to try to advance as an ordinary spell caster by relying on the spell models you are most familiar with.
The biggest advantage of a formal mage over an apprentice is that he can inscribe a spell model that he controls in advance, making the spell almost instantaneous. If it is a defensive spell, it can also have a passive triggering effect.
The spell model prepared for engraving can be modified according to needs, but the modification takes a certain amount of time, and because it directly affects the soul, it also needs a recovery cooling time. The specific time varies according to personal strength. Generally speaking, it is a formal mage. Can only be changed once a day.
Depending on the level and ability of the official mage, the number of times this instant spell can be used and the power of the inscription are also different.
Before, Senter had engraved a control spell on Count Luke to buy him time to use the props.
Therefore, the gap between formal mages and top apprentices is still very large. To a certain extent, if the frontal combat power is calculated alone, formal mages can instantly kill top apprentices with this convenience.
However, because Murphy has studied and studied for a long enough time, in terms of some knowledge reserves, he may have more knowledge than many young formal mages, but his talent is really lacking.
If quantified by player values, there may only be ten points of innate mental power.
His current transformation is a helpless move. Ordinary spellcasters who are not magicians usually have similar conveniences when changing their professions, but most of them solidify their mental power based on the few spell models they are most proficient in, so in the future they will choose engraved spell models. There are only a few fixed ones.
Unlike formal mages, new spells learned at a later stage can be inscribed and modified. However, the difficulty of promotion can obviously be much easier, and it does not completely block the way to become a mage midway. If one can reach a skill close to The level of Tao can revitalize the spirit.
Murphy, an old apprentice, quickly called everyone over, including the chef, a total of nine people.
I have to say that although Senter looks sanctimonious, the two maids and the receptionist are both beauties. The two maids are dressed in a gothic style, and the receptionist is a hot figure. The royal sister.
But the five apprentices are really only judged on their ability. Four are male and one is female. Except for Murphy, the old apprentice, the other apprentices are relatively inferior. The only female apprentice also looks like a magical Daji.
When he looked at her, he had already given her a few winks, as if he wanted to teach her in private.
Oh, even though she looks very good, and I heard she is a noble lady, but she is so blatant, does she have some misunderstanding about herself?
Standing between the three catwomen, Shalltear, Qiqi and Lulu, Wang Yi couldn't help but ponder for a moment. This misunderstanding is very deep...
"You didn't choose to go to the Magic Academy, but have been studying hard here. I think you all have some ambitions of your own, but unfortunately, the mage is a profession that requires a lot of talent. Sometimes you can't do it with just your passion. I have achieved my goal. I don’t know why Senter took you in before, and I don’t know how he taught you. But since you stay here, it’s a kind of fate, so I don’t mind giving you guidance when I have time. One or two.”
Wang Yi's tone was very calm, and he first drew a small cake for them.
Having a few skilled workers here can obviously save some trouble.
At least his status as the president of the Mages Guild cannot restrict him.
And because they are just a bunch of weaklings, even if someone can break through the official mage in the future, they will not be able to discover the internal transformation of the mage tower by then, so it is good to use it as a cover.
"The salary will be increased by 10% on the original basis, but you have to work hard for me. Murphy will be responsible for daily management. If there is nothing important, don't bother me. I will give you a copy of the charter when the time comes. If there are any savages in the future, When you come here, follow these regulations..."
Wang Yi has become a hands-off shopkeeper, and it will be enough to create a few more ordinary magic puppets to support the scene.
And it just so happens that this mage tower also has two libraries. After being exposed to the free common spells and some theories in the legal player learning class, those who are interested in coming here can continue to pay for further studies.
When the time comes, I will improvise some temporary stuff and stuff it in...
Chapter 795
Although Wang Yi didn't come to do anything to make the new official take office, it was Earl Luke's confidant, the city guard Baron Dolf who personally brought Wang Yi to take over.
Coupled with the overnight surprise interrogation, this group of people had already become submissive.
Now after hearing Wang Yi's words, they all nodded and didn't do anything wrong.
Although Wang Yi looks young, mage is a profession that requires accumulation and learning.
But an official mage is an official mage!
As the oldest person, Murphy is the quickest to bow his head.
Although it can be said that the accumulation of young formal mage still lacks shortcomings, it also illustrates another problem...
potential!
An old apprentice who is over fifty and is still stuck in front of an official mage, showing off in front of such a young official mage?
Murphy said he still wants to live a few more years...
At this time, someone came into the Mage Guild Hall downstairs, and the warning circle made a warning jingle.
"Is Master Yi here? Daofu took the liberty of visiting."
Wang Yi said almost everything and nodded to a few people
"You guys keep busy, I'll go there myself."
After saying that, they turned around and went downstairs with Shalltear and the other three. Qiqi and Lulu also performed their duties as maids and began to prepare tea and snacks. Wang Yi and Shalltear met with Baron Daphne.
"Your Excellency Baron, I didn't buy you a drink yesterday, so please do me a favor today."
Wang Yi looked at the tall and burly Daofu with a beard and smiled gently.
Although this man was only a baron and his fiefdom was not large, not even as large as Baron Darnic, he was a close associate of Count Luke, an emerging nobleman who was promoted from the bodyguard and canonized.
As a city guard, he also controls the conventional armed forces of Dunno City and maintains the order of Dunno City. In terms of actual power, he even surpasses Viscount Darry, who is directly sent by the capital to manage daily affairs.
Since he decided to stay in Dunnuo City for a while, maintaining a relationship with this kind of local snake can save a lot of trouble.
"Haha, Master has just come to Dunnuo City not long ago. Of course I am here to invite you, but I am a rough man. The nobles are so uncomfortable with this behavior, so I will not invite you to the family dinner. I will invite you to our place later. The best tavern to try our strongest wine.”
Baron Dolph laughed and seemed very generous, but then he realized what he had done and asked Wang Yi
"Well, Master, you mages don't drink strong liquor, do you?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm in good health too."
Wang Yi waved his hand casually, and the local indigenous people took him to taste the delicious food and spirits, which would taste good.
This magical food in the world interested him very much.
"Haha, that's good, but I have some business matters when I come here this time."
Dolph then started to get down to business and explain his purpose.
News just came from Darnic that a savage really appeared in Darnic Territory!
And there are many strange and weird things about those savages.
Considering that there may be more numbers and potential safety hazards in the future, Danik wants to ask for instructions on what to do.
If it was before the banquet, they would definitely take the composer away first and then ask questions slowly after taking him to the city guard.
But having personally participated in this dinner, and witnessed with wide-eyed eyes what a master of the law is, he seemed quite docile at this time.
Just kidding, it’s impossible for the Earl to solve the problem so cleanly!
As a high-level knight, Dolph clearly knows the shortcomings of their purely physics-based profession.
You can tell from the fact that the Earl was trapped by Center for a short time. If not for the sudden display of power by Madam, and the addition of Master Yi, things would have been a big deal.
So his mission this time is just to make a simple inquiry. If the other party is unwilling to tell, then forget it.
It doesn’t seem to be a big deal at the moment. The savages who appeared don’t have a single professional level...
"Savage, I really know something about this."
The songs sung were all played by Wang Yi, and he acknowledged them generously.
"This is a group deep in the Warcraft Forest. According to the prophecy, they should have been favored by gods, but the specific one is unknown."
Wang Yi's understatement made Dafu's eyes shrink slightly.
God's favor? !
Although the two gods have been dead for thousands of years, and even the oracles have been gone in the past hundred years, the two divine courts are still huge, and even Leo's floating city has to give them face.
Don't say this nonsense!
"Prophecy..., God's favor..., this~"
For a moment, Daphne felt a little troublesome. This thing was a hot potato!
"Actually, I think people who want to know more about it can just ask a prophet or fortune teller to try it. After all, I was inspired by such a prophecy..."
Wang Yi pointed out the way casually, but he didn't explain it in detail anyway, so you can figure out the rest.
Although the player's body is mass-produced, it was Wang Yi who blessed the firewall. Especially the blessing given after the completion of the Hall of Heroes, it can also be regarded as the body of the heroic spirit to a certain extent.
If divination or prophecy affects them, it will naturally point to a god!
Wang Yi has figured out the principles of his magically modified great prophecy technique and can use it very smoothly. He is not worried about getting involved in gangs.
At that time, I can naturally make up my mind that I heard the prophecy, went to see it out of curiosity, and then created this popular song. It makes sense...
……
"Family of God? Is that what he said?"
Earl Luke, who was handling official business at his desk, also felt unusually heavy at this time.
The assassination is still under investigation. He hasn't slept a wink since the banquet, but now that guy Darnik revealed such a thing?
Tsk~
He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but he never imagined that the gods were involved...
As long as things have something to do with ‘God’, they can’t be simple!
"Do you want to notify Shenting?"
Daofu asked for instructions.
There are several churches of the Mother Earth and the Moon God in Dunno City. This is because the power of the temples has shrunk a lot. In the past, places like Darnic Town would inevitably have churches.
"No, just pretend that we don't know about this matter. If the savages really get the favor of the gods, then the divine court will naturally come to them. We don't want to interfere too much."
Earl Luke thought for a moment and then made his decision.
Let's not talk about whether this news is true. Even if it is true, I don't know which god's descendant it is. Wouldn't it make myself uncomfortable to find him?
According to that person, it can be confirmed by prophecy and divination?
Generally speaking, this kind of mysterious and mysterious thing is of some use, but in fact it is not very useful. If it can really point to a clear indication that it is a god, then I am afraid it is really it!
The power of the gods is incomprehensible...
"My Lord Earl, there is one more thing. The Mages Guild has received a message back. In a few days, a testing team will arrive from Calais by airship and then complete the certification."
Dolph told the feedback from the Mages Guild again, and Luke rubbed his forehead again.
"Calais?"
The Federation of Calais is not located on the Plain of East, but faces the Principality of Norton across the strait. Exchanges between the two sides mainly rely on sea transportation and emerging airships.
For some time, Calais had been wanting to build an airship dock on the Dunno side, but he gave up temporarily due to the tense situation between the Kingdom of Idai and the Principality of Dia.
However, there are other mages' guilds in the Principality of Keton, and there are also other official mages. Even if they are not available, there are also those in the neighboring Principality of Nott.
Why let people from Calais come over after being so far away...
Was it arranged by the Mages Guild, or was it requested by Calais itself?
Chapter 796 Calais Federation
The sky covered with dark clouds blocked the sunlight, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the pouring rain poured down, mixed with the roar, creating an extremely depressing environment.
It was obviously daytime, but the sky looked very gloomy. At this time, farmers could only pray that God would be merciful and not flood their crops.
However, above the dark clouds, the sun was still shining brightly without being affected at all. Occasionally, lightning flashes could be seen in the dark clouds below, swimming in the clouds like silver snakes.
It was in this environment, not far above the dark clouds, that there was a giant airship more than two hundred meters long flying past the dark clouds. The rolling dark clouds seemed to be touching the base of the airship.
Under the swollen air bag, the cabin of the airship hung, currently roaming above the storm and flying forward.
The cabin of the airship is not small in nature, and is divided into three floors. The interior decoration is also luxurious, with one floor for cargo, one for housing, and one for pure entertainment.
The tavern model combined with some popular leisure facilities in Calais makes the originally boring voyage more colorful.
The bard's song echoed in the cabin, in stark contrast to the dark clouds spreading like thunder snakes below.
The Federation of Calais, a country formed by a huge peninsula hanging offshore, is surrounded by the sea except for a long and narrow corridor connecting it to the Ferro Empire in the north.
For a time, the Federation of Calais was ruled by the Ferro Empire, but because the mountain range connecting the two sides was extremely steep, most of the time it was not as good as direct sea transportation, so its control capabilities were limited.
In order to save governance costs, the Ferro Empire had long established governors on the Calais Peninsula. As long as sufficient taxes and required resources were collected regularly and rationed, nothing else mattered.
Later, the Governor of Calais established a Calais Management Company to squeeze Calais as much as possible, and the benefits even exceeded the original tax revenue required by the empire several times.
In order to maintain the longevity of the company, the Governor of Calais also attracted the top nobles of the Ferro Empire and even the royal family to invest in the Calais Management Company, making a lot of money and talking a lot.
But there is no doubt that the profits earned are all taken from the Calais Peninsula.
It was not until the gradual rise of mages that a magic genius appeared on the Calais Peninsula two hundred years ago and was accepted as a student by the legendary wizard of Leo's Floating City.
The legendary mage personally visited the legendary swordsman of the Ferro Empire, and then the Calais Federation was born.
According to rumors, the magic genius born in Calais Peninsula has now become a top mage and is expected to be legendary.
Although mages are usually not interested in management, because the Calais Federation will be very sensible in searching for some scarce magic materials for Leo's Floating City, the relationship has been maintained for so many years, even if they are not personally in charge of Calais. Still allowing the Federation of Calais to thrive.
And there are also channels to obtain some products from Leo Floating City.
This allowed the Federation of Calais to be founded directly on commerce, with an extremely prosperous commercial system, and even a business tool such as a magic airship, making the Federation of Calais a well-known economic power in Middle-earth.
And because of the subtle connection between the Calais Federation and Leo Floating City, many mages also like to settle in Calais.
The entire Calais Federation has nine magic academies, and the size of each one exceeds the only one in the Principality of Caton.
Although there is no legend in the Calais Federation today, it does have two great mages and four great knights, especially the number of formal mages far exceeds that of an ordinary country.
Generally speaking, if an airship dock can be set up through negotiation with the Federation of Calais and regular airship flights appear, the economy will prosper a lot. The city of Donno was one of the targets of the inspection before...
In the airship cabin, a middle-aged man wearing a tuxedo and gelled hair was standing at the window of the airship holding a glass of juice, lazily basking in the sun while looking at the dark clouds of silver thunder snakes moving below.
"William, what's the point of not even drinking as a nobleman."
At this moment, a rough voice came from the side, and then a burly figure with a height of more than two meters and carrying a sledgehammer walked over.
This strong man is not only tall and burly, but also has only a piece of leather armor draped diagonally on his upper body, exposing half of his body. With his rich hair and originally messy blond hair and beard, he looks like a real savage.
The Calais Federation used to have many ethnic groups, and after the establishment of the federation, it became even more inclusive, so the composition was very complex.
"Jin Hu, I told you, I'm not a noble, I'm a congressman."
William took a sip of the juice and said in an erratic tone.
The Federation of Calais adopts a city-state system. Each city-state has its own voice and management methods. Because it was separated from the Ferro Empire, they do not have nobles on the surface, but only city councilors, and ultimately The Presbytery.
At the beginning, the situation of the Federation of Calais even attracted some hostility from other countries, but later it was discovered that it was just a change of medicine without changing the medicine. After the members almost completely inherited the privileges of the nobility, they relaxed and acquiesced to Canada. A member of the Lai Federation has the same status as a noble.
As for the specific division, of course it also depends on the strength and power of the opponent.
Just like the size of your title does not represent your own strength...
"Hey, you are so hypocritical by making it so complicated, as if no one knows."
The tall and burly Jin Hu didn't seem to care at all. He directly picked up the bucket-like wine glass and took a few sips. The bubbling beer flowed down his beard and even wet some of it on his chest hair.
However, he didn't care. He burped with a happy face and wiped off the wine stains with his hands.
"Maybe."
William did not argue with him about this matter. As an official mage, he had his own rationality. Useless arguments were just a waste of time.
"Alcohol will only paralyze one's spirit. Currently, there has been research in Leo's Floating City. Long-term alcohol abuse has obvious damage to the human nervous system and also puts a high burden on the liver."
"Tch, it seems like you won't die if you don't drink."
Jin Hu obviously didn't care and continued to go his own way.
Then he thought of something and asked him
"By the way, why did you take the initiative to grab this job this time, and even asked me to help you stand up? You guys are all unprofitable and can't afford to do it early. There must be something wrong."
Hearing Jin Hu's words, William couldn't help but sigh
"It's just a request from my family. In fact, I don't want to participate in this kind of thing, but this time it is indeed profitable. They promised to fund me with some mithril and let me complete the experiment."
"Tsk tsk~ Mithril, you are so generous, but this also shows that the benefits are greater this time."
Jin Hu grinned, revealing his white teeth.
"That's why I asked you to come with me. I'm afraid it might be a little difficult for me."
William looked helpless.
"It's hard to add me to it. The Earl of Flame is not in vain. I'm afraid he has reached the peak of the great knight. I haven't even broken through to the hero level yet. I can only sustain a few moves at most."
"As long as you can hold up a few moves, it's fine. You're not here to fight."
William's eyes were deep and his tone was a little flat, but after hearing his words, Jin Hu no longer struggled with this issue.
The two of them are good friends who have known each other since they were apprentices. William has excellent magic talent and is already a high-level mage under the age of forty!
Although the hero level is not so easy to break through, and the threshold for the archmage is very difficult. Some geniuses may be stuck for a lifetime, but at his age, the chance of becoming an archmage is still very high.
Moreover, even if he is not an archmage, relying on his own methods alone, ordinary knights may be able to compete head-on. If they are in William's mage tower, they can even defeat him!
And Jin Hu himself is not an ordinary person. He has barbarian blood. His blood has returned to his ancestors and awakened his natural divine power. Although his breathing method and resonance with magic power are not as good as those of the great knight, he can rely on his natural divine power to fight fiercely. Ordinary big knights use each other's moves.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to have the confidence to say that he could withstand a few moves in the hands of the Earl of Flame, who was at the peak of the Grand Knight.
Moreover, this time they represent both the Mages Guild and the Federation of Calais. As long as they have the strength to ensure that they will not be overpowered, the other side will not be able to tear them apart without thinking!
However, under normal circumstances, with the reputation of the Mages Guild and the Calais Federation, there is no need to consider "showing off". This can only mean that some of the things they plan to do may cause some unhappiness that will not lead to a rift...
