Wizard consultant?
Get me a wizard consultant?
Stunned for a while, the black haired wizard returned slightly and frowned slightly: "I guess this is just a cover for fooling the heavenly palace and the Holy Cross Church?"
"Of course not. The wizard tower is indeed recommending you a competent wizard consultant according to the specifications of the Duke and even the royal family."
Charlotte looked up and seemed very angry at the rather disapproval attitude of the black haired Wizard: "this is also in line with the imperial law; to be exact, when each Duke takes office, the wizard tower will send out invitations to recommend suitable candidates to each family."
"Some of the welts, like El Mans, have a tradition of selecting wizards specializing in history and astrology as tutors and even the right arm of the Duke in almost all dynasties; some, such as the Fred family of lottel, prefer candidates recommended by the church."
"In Byrne, because the Earls are relatively rich, they also have their own preferences; however, only the royal family and the Duke can be directly recommended by the wizard tower." the steward of red blood Castle said, "so if there is no Centaur war, this should be your first decision after taking office."
So it is
Loren took a deep breath and turned his eyes to the countess: "so eboden plans to take this opportunity to establish a communication channel between the two sides through the new wizard consultant?"
"More than that, the wizard tower wants to expand their influence in Byrne." Charlotte shook her head gently and her eyes twinkled. "So they prepared a huge plan."
"In addition to the wizard himself, there are 13500 books of all kinds, which basically cover all the departments of the wizard. In a short time, a library and a small wizard college can be established first."
"With the help of the trade channel of the United Chamber of Commerce, they will also provide various necessary tools, samples, drawings and raw materials for the college in batches - these are expensive, only a quarter higher than the cost price."
"Finally, the wizard tower will help us establish a small wizard college and a complete library within three years, set up at least six alchemy associations in Bain and preside over 15 new technology research and development." Charlotte said one after another, saying that Loren was stunned:
"According to the agreement between the two sides, this is only the first phase; we''ll see the completion and expenditure in three years; if conditions permit, I''m going to establish several large-scale alchemy workshops in red blood castle; especially now we have silver helmet mountain dwarves, whose secret silver technology is a good trading capital..."
"Wait --!!!"
The shocked black haired wizard quickly reached out to stop her.
Charlotte, who was interrupted, flashed a trace of anger from the corners of her eyes and turned her head impatiently: "what''s the matter?"
"Nothing!" Lauren stared and shook his head. "What you just said is what the wizard tower promised?!"
"I signed it half a month ago. I need to review the agreement for you?"
"No! I just want to know what to pay for this Bain?"
"I just said that the price higher than one quarter of the cost... It could have been one fifth, but because a Duke annoyed the church, now we can''t ask them."
With a slight pout, the countess seemed unable to hide her dissatisfaction: "in addition, it is to provide protection and preferential treatment to wizards in Byrne... Also, because a Duke himself is a wizard, this can not be used as a bargaining chip."
"They promised?!"
Loren still looked unbelievable.
"Of course, didn''t I just say it once?" Charlotte snorted coldly again: "since they want to use Byrne''s power to expand the influence of the wizard tower, how can they do without paying some price?"
Nevertheless, the countess''s expression showed a little complacency.
Charlotte was even more proud when she saw a Duke who was so surprised that she couldn''t close her mouth.
Loren tried to get rid of the shocking news, took half a minute to calm down and turned his attention to another thing: "so who is the wizard consultant recommended by the wizard tower... Isaac?"
"How possible."
"... also." the black haired wizard pulled the corners of his mouth. If it was Isaac, it wouldn''t be so troublesome at all.
"But he is also one of the entourage, and the desalion side branch named Lina desalion... I don''t know how she slipped out of the imperial capital." the countess raised her nose and looked very disapproving:
"In order to let Isaac leave the imperial capital, we negotiated with the imperial wizard College for half a month until the wizard tower opened its mouth... It is said that many of the people who obstructed it were the power of crown prince Connor."
The dark haired wizard nodded slightly, indicating that it was not surprising.
Anyone who really understands the value of Isaac can''t let him go easily; The void sword and the Holy Blood potion for the evil empire can only be regarded as the "by-products" of his research, and the future is unlimited.
Fortunately, because eboden''s confidentiality work is quite in place, few people know this at present; Even insiders can''t imagine what Isaac got from the Dragon King tower in Nidhogg.
But Lina de sallion... When she thought of a girl who wore glasses, gambled and had the same brain as Isaac, Loren felt a big head.
How did she leave the imperial capital? It shouldn''t be... Why did she come to Byrne together?
"So it''s not Isaac, so who is it?"
In the face of the black haired wizard''s question, Charlotte and Charles did not answer directly, but looked at each other, as if they were making eye contact.
"Why... This question is difficult to answer?" Lauren frowned slightly, and looked at their obviously strange faces. "Or is there something difficult to say?"
The red blood Castle housekeeper coughed and turned around.
"Please be prepared before we tell you," Charles whispered. "I was going to tell you when you came back, but... The wizard tower and the count agreed to surprise you."
"Surprise, what surprise?"
"The surprise is... Your Excellency, the wizard consultant, is the person you used to know." they looked at Charlotte again, and they smiled knowingly, as if they were looking at their own gift to be opened:
"In order to keep you excited, I can only remind you... Your Excellency the wizard has visited the Principality of lottel and stayed for a long time."
"Lottel... Vimpal college?" Loren laughed in amazement and blinked: "why, is master freswalker coming, not so!"
The countess and the housekeeper did not speak, but turned their eyes behind him.
Suddenly, a familiar cold touch came to my heart, making the black haired wizard breathe.
This familiar and strange feeling
"Sorry."
A cold to indifferent voice came, and a simple word seemed to be a waste.
The black haired wizard with numb scalp trembled and turned his head behind him bit by bit.
In front of the sharp, sword like eyes that seemed to pierce the heart, Loren with a stiff smile stopped his heart beating.
Dressed in a black robe, his face was as gloomy as ice, his posture was tall and straight, and there was no superfluous expression between the corners of his mouth and eyebrows.
At that moment, Loren''s mind was blank.
"Let you down."
With a heavy and emotionless tone, one of the founders of vimpal college, the former night watchman, the successor of freswalker school, and the mentor of Loren, Isaac and ayin
Dalton kand, he spoke.
……………………………………
What''s it like to see your mentor again?
Ecstatic, uneasy, nervous, ashamed
These words seem inappropriate to describe the relationship between Loren and Dalton.
The relationship between the two people is not quite like a normal teacher and apprentice. Although Dalton is really teaching him wholeheartedly, and Loren does take him as his own mentor, there should be no teacher and apprentice who are still testing each other at the last moment of separation.
Especially after experiencing so many things, Loren met his mentor again, which made him feel more or less sad; It''s like a student who has finished the exam and is nervously waiting for the moment when his grades are announced.
"I met Ayn."
In a quiet room, Dalton kand, sitting face to face with the dark haired wizard, said, "it''s a surprise... She''s already an apprentice of Halin van ashmai."
The dark haired wizard twitched the corners of his mouth, laughed with him twice, and fidgeted in his chair.
"The process and reason are very complicated." Lauren shrugged his shoulders and tried to calm his tone. "But I still want to ask... Why did you come?"
"Because it must be me." with a slight frown, Dalton seemed to feel that his words were insufficient to express: "it can only be me."
A trace of confusion flashed across Loren''s face.
"In Byrne, the eye of the night watchman is everywhere, even the castle." Dalton said indifferently, "don''t doubt that you have destroyed the intelligence net of the night watchman with heresy, but two months is enough for Root Infinit to complete the reconstruction work."
"The Empire will not indulge the wizard tower to expand its power; wizards who do not have enough anti reconnaissance ability and do not understand the means of the night watchman are easy to be used."
Dalton''s sharp eyes made Lauren feel a little hairy at the bottom of his heart.
"It is unnecessary and impossible to completely eliminate the influence of night watchmen. At the same time, it will arouse the attention of the heavenly palace and the emperor; but this does not mean indulgence; at least for the first three years, their activities must be restrained."
"So it must be me."
Lauren was slightly stunned.
i see; If that''s the case, let the former night watchman take charge of the activities of the night watchman and suppress the intelligence networks and eyeliners of all sides. Indeed, it is a suitable choice. Besides Dalton, there is no more suitable person for mentors.
"In addition, the original candidate, master Robert freswalker..." Dalton continued: "there are only three and a half months left, and the ability to move has been completely lost."
"What?!"
In a word, Loren''s pupil shrank suddenly: "master freswalker, he..."
"There are only three and a half months left, 107 days left." Dalton was expressionless.
"How could it be... What happened?!"
"Lung disease."
Huh?
"Not surprisingly, it was his own choice; master freswalker believed that among the many ways of death, lung disease was the best for him."
These words made the black haired wizard even more strange.
Looking at the confused expression of the apprentice, Dalton asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "do you know the age of master freswalker?"
The age of the old pipe smoker... Lauren tried to recall that his hair had almost fallen off; He is the mentor of Dean Peter, and Dean Peter is the mentor of Dalton kand, so
"I am forty-seven years old, and when I was twelve, I worshipped Peter," Dalton continued.
With a sudden frown, Loren looked at his mentor in amazement, with an extremely strange expression.
Dalton gave the answer: "141 years old."
True or false, not at all!
"Freswalker is a school specializing in mystics. The level of application and understanding of the force of the void is the most important of the wizard tower - with the erosion effect of the force of the void, he can transform any part of the body and keep it running after complete failure."
"In this way, in theory, as long as master freswalker''s consciousness has not dissipated, he can live forever; but the more frequent the transformation, the deeper the degree, and the more blurred the self-consciousness; finally, it evolves into amnesia, paranoia, aphasia, and easy to be emotional..."
Dalton paused, as if restrained: "therefore, master freswalker decided to end his life smoothly."
The dark haired wizard gave a long sigh; Recalling the old gentleman who once helped himself, he felt a little heavy.
"So... Who is the successor of the freswalker school, Dean Peter?"
"Originally, but... The tutor refused." Dalton''s eyes darkened: "he still refuses to give up vimpal college. Once he becomes the elder of the wizard tower, with the huge power of the church in lottel, he will never tolerate his existence."
"Before that, master freswalker had appointed Isaac Grantham as his successor; but Isaac was still too young. More importantly, his research has not formed a system and cannot be recognized by the whole wizard tower."
"Therefore, before he formally inherits the mantle of this school and improves his own system, he needs a temporary transitional person to take charge of this matter and strive for 15 to 20 years for him - the core research project of freswok school, the power of valve and unique system should be gradually taught to him during this period."
Looking at mentor Dalton kand with his eyes down and his face as cold as ice, Loren felt that who was the "transitional figure" was ready to come out.
Dalton glanced:
"So it can only be me."
