Chapter 375 Archmage Roland: I want to see who doesn’t match my horoscope!

"His Excellency Archmage Roland!"

When Antonia revealed Roland's new identity, everyone else stood up and clapped with smiles.

"I think Roland should be enough to be crowned a Grand Arcanist and be promoted to the Uncrowned King of the Arcane World!"

Some archmages also said with a smile.

"Archmage" is actually an informal name among the people. Before the arcane reform, it was rarely seen in official documents.

On the other hand, ninth-level mages and great magisters are more likely to express themselves in writing.

And among them, there are some default unspoken rules.

For example, a person who has won the Arcane Star Award can be honored as a Grand Arcanist at the ninth level, while other mages must be promoted to the legendary level to be qualified to be called so.

As the youngest recipient of the Arcane Star Award in history and the founder of the school, Roland fully deserves it.

The only thing that may be controversial is that this kind of title often requires high morality and respect as a prerequisite.

After a simple congratulation, Antonia called the waiter and personally put a brand new mage badge on Roland.

The decoration on it transformed into a pattern of the sun.

Moreover, it is still a sun-golden glow with flames and patterns, and full magical meaning. There is a line of inscriptions engraved in elvish script underneath, and it is also thoughtfully paired with a seal script translation of the Seris text.

"~,~~~~!"

(Having great power, taking orders from the Empire!)

"The badge of the Imperial Archon, exclusive to the Archmage Atrein.

The piece you are wearing now is a new style of the 10000th anniversary edition, a top-notch piece of jewelry specially provided to members of the Arcane Committee...

It possesses the rule-based wish spell ability. It can cast a maximum of 999 tera of "wish spells" through natural charging, which is equivalent to casting three standard "wish spells" without materials. "

Antonia arranged the badges for Roland and introduced them.

According to the traditional etiquette, mages do not pay much attention to the difference in clothing, but badges cannot be worn indiscriminately.

It corresponds to the rank of the mages, with a strict hierarchy and clear distinction between superiority and inferiority.

Even if you are the richest person in the country, as a low-level mage, you can only wear a simple copper badge and use the designated style.

Mage badges are usually designed according to multiple sets of themes. One of the more classical and traditional ones is the sun, moon and stars corresponding to the high, middle and low levels.

Only ninth-level archmages can use gold as the color scheme and wear patterns representing flames and light.

And to be able to inscribe the style of the empire's governance, it must be specially authorized by the Arcane Committee.

Otherwise, Atrein has a special legal crime, "crime of transgression", which is specifically used to deal with those who illegally wear badges indiscriminately.

……

"congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Roland!"

When the news came out that Roland was promoted to a formal member and became the ruler of the empire, people from all walks of life began to celebrate in their own way.

In Nevis City, the main venue of the celebration was the headquarters of the Seris Language Research Association. Groups of people Roland knew or did not know came to give gifts and pay their respects.

This part is the connections Roland has made in various fields in recent years.

People from Swain and the Cowlens family also came, because Anna, Runifu Si and others who were far away in the world of Lena, the Kingdom of Iser and other places, and were not able to come yet, were also dispatched in their own way. The messenger, Telecom, sent his congratulations.

Even Rosa, in her capacity as Queen of East Lena, sent a messenger to send a congratulatory message.

The members of the school stayed until the end and held a small meeting within the school.

"I really didn't expect you to reach the top so quickly."

Scood rushed back to the country through the teleportation circle and participated in the celebration. He was sincerely moved when he saw it.

He touched the three silver star emblems in front of him, which represented the title of third-level mage and senior assistant teacher.

It can be said that there is one heaven and one earth.

"Roland's limit is far beyond this. To become the chief of the committee and the speaker of the Mage Council is to reach the top!"

With a smile on her face, Froya corrected Scoud.

"Speaker! That is Your Excellency Antonia's current position. In ancient times, you could be called the Magic Emperor!"

Scord looked forward to it endlessly.

Yiwen on the side was still silent, but she also showed a sincere look of envy and adoration.

"Yes, I will be above all the consuls and become the Magic Emperor in the future. You guys have to work hard to keep up with me!"

Roland said half-jokingly with a smile on his face.

"Now the school is developing rapidly, and since I have just taken office, we are in need of capable help. If we can be promoted to the intermediate level as soon as possible, there should be some good positions available."

When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled.

When a person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven...

Maybe they haven't heard of it.

But it's not difficult to understand.

"Speaking of which, why did you end up in that development department? The presence of that department seems to have been relatively low. What does it do?"

At this time, Pano came over and asked Roland.

He has already been promoted to the sixth level through arcane achievements, and is currently preparing to reach the seventh level, so he is more sensitive to this kind of thing.

Buono, Pimel and others also cast inquiring glances.

"It was arranged by Your Excellency Antonia."

Roland immediately told them some of the inside story and his own understanding.

"It turns out that compared to the foreign affairs department, which has less influence on the country, and the financial department or arcane journals, which have too much power and involve many people, the development department is indeed more suitable."

However, when Roland continued to explain, they discovered that things were not that simple.

Although he has been officially authorized by the Arcane Committee, his foundation in various departments is still shallow, and he does not have any real confidants.

Roland himself was troubled by this.

Teacher Ovisto and lover Runifusi have also served as committee members, but they are both members of the "Arcane" journal arbitration tribunal. They have great influence on academic ethics, results approval and other fields, but in their own The field of assignment is much different.

As for the military headquarters Bolas once ran and the location of the battle mages, it was even more out of his control.

Senior Swain is a senior high-level mage, so he is more than enough to help him.

But he has his own career and is still working for the magazine "Magic".

I can't say in the future, but I will go back to take charge of Master Orvisto's Mage Tower and inherit the mantle.

If he dared to get him to the development department, the teacher would kill him the next day.

Roland looked around and then turned his attention to Buono: "Lei, Blaise and the others are all in Reiner's world now, so I can only send you over to help me.

I will arrange for you to be promoted to a high level as soon as possible. Anyway, your grades and qualifications have been met, so skipping a year or two will not be a problem. "

"It's an honor." Buono agreed immediately without any doubts.

……

A few days later, the time came to March 3th.

Roland took office as a new official and came to the Atrein Wizard Tower.

"Sir Roland, your office has been arranged."

Several affairs officers working in the mage tower bowed and saluted, then led the way and opened the door to his exclusive office.

Since the number of people with the title of Archmage ranges from dozens to hundreds, the area of ​​​​this place is not large. Compared with personal residences, vacation villas, etc., it can even be said to be small.

But having your own office space in a place like this is definitely what every mage dreams of.

The affairs officers who were specifically responsible for this lined up neatly, and the entire team of deacons gave a warm welcome to Roland's arrival.

This is because Atrein implements a system of civil servants and deacons similar to office bearers.

Compared with administrative officers in the political system, administrative officers are politically neutral, and their terms and responsibilities are not affected by factors such as school of thought, belief, and ethnicity.

However, the temperament and future of direct leaders will also affect their working status and direct welfare.

Of course, these people also want to play for young and promising candidates like Roland.

Roland briefly met with the affairs officers, said some words of encouragement, and then asked everyone to disperse and start working.

Sitting behind the large desk, the first thing he did was to call up the list of administrative officers in the entire department and their corresponding resumes, job responsibilities and other information, and learn about the personnel in advance.

Roland was not promoted without knowing anything. He was the dean of the academy and the acting tower master in Reiner World.

Years of experience have given him a deep understanding of four words, "Everything depends on human effort."

Most of the core contradictions in these existing departments lie in people, not things.

It’s because “it all depends on man-made things”.

Knowing people well and utilizing them well is the primary ability of a leader of this kind of department.

The primary contradiction in understanding people is who can be used by oneself and who will become an obstacle to oneself.

Make a lot of friends and subordinates, and make a few enemies and obstacles.

This is your first priority as a leader.

He first used "quick reading" to briefly look at the resumes of these people, and then used "indexing" to build a classified and organized data model in his mind, and deduced and calculated one after another.

……

"How is it? What is Mr. Roland doing?"

Soon after, a young affairs officer brought a cup of green tea, and several busybodies gathered around her to ask questions.

"Oh, I can't understand. I'm pinching my fingers and don't know what to do."

The handyman said in distress.

She couldn't understand, she really couldn't understand.

"What the hell, of course it's fortune telling!"

During the lunch break, Roland explained to Atali, who was also suspicious and curious.

"Magic Network Management Office, Forbidden Spells Management Office, Library and Materials Management Office, Magical Relics Exploration and Protection Office, Special Funds Management Office...

With so many powerful departments, so many positions and personnel, I have to take a look at whose horoscopes are compatible with mine and whose horoscopes are not. "

Roland half-jokingly told a cruel reality.

Being "disagreeable" with the leader is quite fatal.

But Roland was very measured. He stopped and asked Atali, "What about you? What are you doing?"

"I am consolidating the power of the Holy Light after my promotion."

"That's good, when I'm working from now on, you might as well do your own thing.

After I leave this mage tower and return home, I need to get back to work. "

The Atrein Mage Tower is a special place with heavy security. The defense in the tower when working is within the scope of the Arcane Gendarmerie and does not need to be the responsibility of guards like Atali.

So Roland's working hours are basically her off-duty hours.

As Roland himself advances to a high level, his strength gradually becomes stronger and stronger, and there will be some benefits unique to high-level mages. High-level combat equipment and other things are distributed every year, and the work of the guard members will become It's getting easier.

Even, gradually tend to the nature of etiquette.

Atali can take advantage of this time to polish her skills.

……

Roland's first day as the Archmage's governing director passed like this.

In the next few days, he continued to learn the details without any intention of making any move.

But what outsiders didn't know was that at this time, he had already begun to look for a new secretary candidate for himself, and aimed at arranging Buono for the "Forbidden Spells Management Office".

The former is necessary for dealing with daily affairs.

As a person, he has limited time and energy, and he cannot handle all tasks, large and small, all at once. It is necessary to promote some people and form a team of secretaries.

Among them, the "Formatist" under Anna and the "artificial intelligence team" under Professor Xia Gengsi both have some good ideas.

As for the latter, it is of course the more important promotion and appointment.

Every time you use one more member of the school, your power will grow stronger.

There will also be one fewer potential enemies or obstacles.

Therefore, he directly set his sights on the leadership position of the "Forbidden Spells Management Office".

As luck would have it, that position was in the hands of Penis, a high-level mage from the Elemental School. Under him, there were also several mid-level mage from the Pidos Mage Tower.

They are obviously the kind of people who "do not get along".

For other positions, it would not be good for Roland to remove anyone, so of course he would target them.

However, since those people might stick together, Roland did not act recklessly, but took a trick.

He did not directly target those people as the first thing the new official took office, but instead began to target those other factions, even ordinary mages who were isolated and had no backers, and who should have been able to sit on the sidelines.

The first step is to cut benefits, increase working hours, and increase work tasks for those innocent neutrals...

He planned to take a look first to see if there was anyone behind Master Penis and whether he had the courage to confront him.

And those who have suffered the disaster of Chiyu will immediately take sides after being wronged, or they can only endure it silently.

In addition, his harsh criticism and difficulties at the moment are also paving the way for Buono to win over people after he settles in.

It happened that one was the bad guy and the other was the red face, and they quickly grasped the department they were targeting.
