"... these are the rosters of the local wizard Association of red blood castle, as well as the list of all materials and scrolls. Please have a look."
With a stack of thick documents and a Red Wizard robe, Cowell freswalker, the "interim president" of the wizard tower, respectfully handed it to the black haired wizard in front of him without any shelf.
"I really wronged you when I came here." after receiving the document, Lauren smiled at the other party with a formulaic smile: "to tell you the truth, at first I thought you would try your best to oppose it. It''s really a relief."
"I should be the one who really breathed a sigh of relief." Cowell shook his head with a bitter smile. "To tell the truth, we never expected you to take over this mess."
While talking, they were polite again, pretending to flatter each other.
Red blood Castle wizard tower, or the president''s room on the top floor of the red blood Castle wizard Association - Loren once came to investigate the case of vampires. The difference is that when he came last time, it was the crime scene, and from today on, this room is his own office.
Bain''s wizard organization is different from other places. It is more scattered. Only the count leads the independent wizard Association, which is not strong and weak; In order to cope with the coming counterattack of eboden United Chamber of Commerce and yode chamber of Commerce, Loren needs the power of local wizards to stand on his side.
Although the wizard tower in red blood castle is very weak and even less than a college, coupled with the "temporary president", there are 10 wizards at the mentor level and more than 40 apprentices, it is already Byrne''s largest "association".
Unexpectedly, when he just showed his intention to join hands with the local wizard Association, the other party couldn''t wait to ask him if he would take over the post of president and command the local wizard Association.
Of course Lauren smiled impolitely.
Cowell freswalker finally breathed a sigh of relief. After his chairman uncle died at the hands of vampires for no reason, he was worried from morning to night for fear that he would be targeted by others!
Although the two fresvok families of red blood castle and eboden are blood relatives, the two families have little contact after master Robel fresvok left Byrne... This was also the norm in the wizard world. Compared with blood, the relationship between Wizards of the same college and school is closer.
Therefore, he was eager to abdicate. In addition to being a wizard and not sensitive to power, he also had a plan to protect his life - the latter may have more elements. Moreover, a small local wizard association is not a Royal College, and how much power does it have?
And Cowell freswalker thought carefully; Behind Loren Turin are his highness Brandon de sallion and the Turin family, and recently climbed up to the corona family of eboden... In any case, it feels safer than taking refuge in governor Byrne.
Even if something happens, with the status of the corona family in eboden, it is impossible to leave them local wizards... Anyway, as a wizard, it is always reassuring to have a relationship with the nine pointed star wizard tower, not to mention the guarantee of the young lady of the corona family!
Looking at the "temporary president" who breathed a sigh of relief, the smiling black haired wizard didn''t expose his idea to his face - it''s better to say that if the other party can think so, it can save him a lot of effort and don''t bother to let the whole Association recognize himself.
Of course, this is only temporary... Even with the popularity of corona and eboden, Loren has no intention of making wedding clothes for others.
"It may be presumptuous to say so, your excellency Cowell freswalker... Can you be my deputy when the handover is completed?"
"Of course!" Cowell expressed his determination with a surprised look on his face. "It''s my great honor to be able to serve a man of great reputation such as Viscount Loren."
Most wizards are very realistic. If he has a choice, Cowell certainly doesn''t want to be an ordinary member of the association.
"That''s great." Lauren''s face was filled with a formulaic smile: "although I''m also half a Bain, I just came back and don''t understand many things - if I want to expand the influence and strength of the wizard Association, I still need your help."
"Influence?" Cowell was slightly stunned, and then tried to say, "you... Plan to unite all the local wizards and put them under the name of the association?"
"Your Excellency Cowell, you are really smart." Lauren raised the corner of his mouth and put the document on the table:
"Why can the nine pointed star wizard tower, which focuses on research, control and influence eboden''s politics in the past millennium... Why can Golovin wizards in the holy land of the church have a place in the Imperial Cabinet?"
"It''s very simple, because they are closely linked with the local rulers, and have a very good alliance with the chamber of Commerce and trade unions, and are very united."
"For this reason, if we want the local wizard association to really rise, we must first unite - half force and half inducement, let the nearby wizards become members of the association, at least grasp the trend of each wizard nearby and what they are doing recently, reward the behavior of improving the reputation of the association, and then crack down on the behavior of damaging the image of wizards and establish real authority."
"So I''ll trouble you next, Lord Kewell... How many wizards are there near red blood castle?"
"If you include wandering wizards, it''s about... 40 people, plus about 100 apprentices." Cowell frowned and looked embarrassed:
"But the level of these people is uneven, and if they want to be forced to join the association, just providing salary and experimental work is not a small expense. I''m afraid with the current strength of the Association..."
"No, just let them register in the Association... I have discussed this with the local church, and they will help us." Loren shook his head:
"As for the source of funds... In addition to self-reliance, of course, additional sponsorship is also needed; this problem will not be a problem until the Joint Chamber of Commerce of eboden is officially established in red blood castle."
"You, you mean..."
"At present, it is agreed that the two sides cooperate, and then the association can hold a certain share in the chamber of Commerce and draw a share according to the profit of each quarter... Of course, if it is the other party''s order, the association must also give priority to processing, and give preferential treatment and reduction in price. What do you think?"
"Very well, that''s the best!" Cowell said again and again, with a trace of ecstasy in his shocked expression.
He still knows about eboden''s trade. Being able to get the other party''s support means that he doesn''t have to worry about capital and materials in the future!
At the same time, he looked at the black haired wizard with a little more admiration and sincere admiration... Anyway, it is enough to convince the corona family to lend a helping hand to prove that the other party does have the qualification to become president.
And that''s what Loren needs... As long as he holds on to the source of funds, he doesn''t have to worry about the loyalty of wizards in the association.
Um... In terms of time, the master corona has probably started to do it, otherwise the yode chamber of commerce could not have been quiet for so long.
If the United Chamber of commerce is to be implemented as soon as possible, it should at least have the strength to compete with yode chamber of Commerce.
While talking, the grey pupil boy outside pushed the door and came in, with a slightly frowned expression that looked a little tight:
"Lord Loren, the... Housekeeper of Miss Ariel came and said he wanted to visit the vineyards and cellars of the Turin family with you."
Asriel... Did you find anything so soon?
The dark haired wizard didn''t speak, and his slightly flashing eyes fell into a state of meditation.
"Well, tell me to go now... By the way, tell the count of Charlotte Turin that the countess will be unhappy if she deliberately avoids her."
With a sigh, Lauren, who got up to leave, looked at Cowell with a nervous expression:
"By the way, Lord Cowell, can I trouble you with one thing?"
"Er... What do you want to know..."
"I need you to investigate what all the Wizards in the red blood castle have done in recent months." the black haired wizard said calmly:
"Especially... Wizards who have visited the governor''s house!"
