Versatile Mage: Demon Mage

Chapter 453: Are you really good at judging people?

Hua Junshou and Pang Lai were both drinking tea quietly, listening to Speaker Shao Zheng's explanation. Even Tang Yue looked solemn.

Wang Teng drank his tea and waited quietly for the other party's follow-up words. It looked like Shao Zheng was going to add more burden to him!
"The current situation at home and abroad is grim. First, the emergence of the Hall of Heroes has caused instability in the aristocratic families. Second, the Ocean Gods may attack at any time."

"We lack top combat power!"

"After all that has happened, we feel that you are qualified and capable of being promoted to the position of President of the Imperial Court," Shao Zheng said firmly.

Wang Teng immediately showed a very hesitant look on his face when he heard it, and then he said: "This..."

"This should have been Lao Pang's promotion, but he doesn't plan to accept the Dimension Core. Without the cultivation of a Forbidden Spell Mage, he can't serve as the president."

"If you wish, I can leave the Dimension Core to you."

"Speaking of which, the position of President of the Palace Museum has been vacant for a long time." Shao Zheng said, observing Wang Teng's expression and watching the hesitation on his face disappear by half at a visibly decreasing speed.

"If you accept the position of president, I will be responsible for setting up the summoning department later, which will still be under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Court."

"You only need to face the Ocean God Clan and demons from all over the country. As for those noble families and associations, the summoning department will come forward."

Seeing this, Pang Lai interrupted the topic in time. Originally, dealing with the aristocratic families was the Speaker's responsibility, but now things have changed. The invisible strength of the aristocratic family alliance is increasing rapidly.

The country must have the same number of summoning super-class mages in reserve to deal with this, otherwise the speaker's authority will continue to be blocked by the aristocratic families and no matter how good the policies are, they cannot be implemented.

This led to the development of two systems for the Forbidden City, internal and external, with different methods and means of dealing with each, but generally speaking they were still confined to the domestic scope.

After all, it is impossible to use the same rules for dealing with demons to deal with the aristocratic families and associations, which will definitely cause big problems.

Considering Wang Teng’s age, he is strong enough and his methods are more violent and direct, which is very suitable for dealing with the sea gods and demons.

The summoning department is under the command of the chief. While coping with the changes in the family, it can also take on the responsibility of dealing with demons in the future.

This is an investment for the future, and it basically won't result in a loss. On the contrary, it can reduce the demand for resources.

After all, it is enough for a summoning mage to be trained to the third level of a single super class! This consumption is very affordable for the country.

It is much more economical than training a four-element super-class mage. What the Hall of Heroes will have no shortage of in the future is four-element super-class Heroic Mages.

"Wang Teng, accepting the position of president means that your identity as a forbidden spell mage will be made public."

"All major domestic forces are watching. It is impossible to let someone other than a Forbidden Spell Mage serve as the president of the internationally renowned Forbidden City Court. This also represents the face of the country." Hua Junshou immediately added.

The Forbidden City governs all major magical forces in the country and is considered the highest magical institution in the country. As the president of the Forbidden City, one has enormous authority.

After listening to their words, Wang Teng quickly fell into deep thought.

The position of President of the Palace Guild was indeed attractive to him, and he also wanted the Core of the Dimension. He could never have too much of that thing.

The slightly troublesome thing is the forbidden spell treaty. Those people from the Holy City will definitely come looking for him, but they won't be able to do anything to him.

But he didn't want to live like this, he needed to wait a little longer. After his transformation was complete and he was promoted to emperor, all problems would be gone.

This is also the reason why the seven birdmen in the Holy City act so unscrupulously and have the confidence to hide their identities and roam around the world.

Not having emperor-level combat power and having emperor-level combat power are two different things.

"Wait a little longer... I agree, but the timing is not right now."

Wang Teng felt that he had seen through this world thoroughly. Everything was decided by strength. Rules? They were nothing in front of strength. The birdmen in the Holy City often acted according to their moods. They had multiple emperor-level combat powers and spoke with confidence.

As for the rules? They make the rules, but for whom? For themselves?

When there is a real conflict, the other party's fist will tell you that everything is bullshit, even what they say themselves.

If you didn't have the same strength at that time, would you dare to refute the other party? In the end, you can only swallow the bitter fruit silently and pretend that nothing happened.

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't expect that he wouldn't agree to this? And he said it in this way?
"In that case, we will wait for your good news."

"Today's conversation will be kept confidential. After we leave, we will pretend nothing happened."

Shao Zheng pondered for a while and said with a complicated look on his face.

He didn't know what the opportunity Wang Teng was talking about was, but he was able to decisively refuse such a good salary and position.

It seems that the other party is hiding a big secret. Since he doesn't accept it, then forget it. A forced melon is not sweet.

Political conversations are like this: yes is yes, no is no. There aren’t so many ambiguous decisions.

"How about you be the chief first? We can start with a dual-chief system, and I will be responsible for setting up the summoning department and handling various internal affairs."

"How about you be in charge of forming a combat unit against the ocean gods and land demons?" Pang Lai still had some hope and spoke with expectant eyes.

As a chief, he has been doing the work of the president for so many years and has been fully satisfied. It is rare for him to find someone to share the work with.

Do you really think he is still in his prime? He is best known for his powerful summoning ability, but other than that, his direct combat ability is not as good as that of a normal mage of the same rank.

"Hmm~ I think this is possible!" Hua Jun nodded, the Palace Court would have to be reorganized sooner or later, and a dual chief system was also feasible.

After all, the emergence of Valhalla is a reality that must be faced. The summoning department will not be able to fight in the short term and will still need the current staff to support it, but it has to be established in advance to prevent any problems.

Wang Teng felt a little amused and helpless when he heard Pang Lai's words. He felt that he was tricked by these three people.

At first he was asked to be the president but failed, so he was demoted to a lower level and made the chief to experience the job first?
This is the same as if they don't agree to tear down the roof, but they can open a window, right?

After all, these three people are not simple characters. They all come to do ideological work. You can't just reject them blindly, right?

"Okay~" Wang Teng nodded helplessly and took it.

The title of Chief was still within his acceptable range. With the achievements in the recent battles, he could be considered a true combat chief.

"Well, you guys can discuss this matter among yourselves. I won't get involved."

"After the Summoning Department is established, I will allocate resources to it as appropriate. In the initial stage, it is best to ensure that there are ten super-class summoning mages."

A smile broke out on Shao Zheng's face, as if his helplessness just now was all fake.

The implementation of the dual chief system in the Forbidden City was not a big deal; it was an internal reform and outsiders had nothing to say about it.

But it will also send out some signals. After all, establishing two departments is equivalent to the subdivision of power, and the Summoning Department has the advantage.

In the early stage, you basically deal with the relationships between the major magic forces, which is communication work. Later, the team is formed, and the heroes will take the field to fight.

The personnel in the combat department are really working with their lives on the line. If they are lucky, they can earn more resources, practice to the full level of four super elements, and have the opportunity to enter the Hall of Heroes and live a second life!
