Demon Lord

() "This group of greedy and shameless guys ... the goblins are more generous than them!"

The cursing voice of the royal magician Gary resounded in the hall, and with his lips clasped in front of him, Charles II, who concluded the second round of negotiations in the morning.

Gary's strength is not as good as those of the wizards. His magical accomplishments are mediocre. The only praiseworthy thing is his political ability and "ideological awareness."

To put it bluntly, he was able to swear in front of Charles II, thanks to his absolute "loyalty" to the royal family over the years.

After preliminary negotiations with Houdini of the Rasiman Kingdom, Charles II finally understood the other party's intention to come here. In fact, before the other side spoke, he had almost expected the reason for this magic kingdom to demonstrate in front of him.

In a nutshell: benefits.

There is never any friendship or hatred between nations, but only interests. Charles II is a standard politician, he sees this thoroughly, so he is not surprised by the demands made by the other party. Gary is also not stupid, but as a "near minister" beside the monarch, he knows his role and position very well, so his complaining and cursing at this time is actually to vent the depression of Charles II ...

"Forget it, this plan is a win-win situation for both parties."

Daylight spilled into the house from the side window at the top of the palace, but Charles II's expression seemed to blend into the shadow. He leaned halfway against the throne, making it hard to see his face, but the tone at this time was much less than earlier today-apparently the abusive curse that Gary had just risked was also of some use. .

Fifteen applied spell arrays, twenty-seven textbooks of improved spells, one hundred and thirty-seven manuals for making magical props ... These invisible things are just a number, but the magicians understand ... It is an insurmountable gap between the kingdoms of Karen and Rasiman.

It was just these things that Houdini said in exchange for a large fortune of the royal family and the right to enter the port trade.

The "bomb" thrown by the Rasiman kingdom made Karen's mages a little dazed. Basically, wizards who understand magic will find this sale impossible, but after seeing the maps of the scrolls, they also understand that if these things can be exchanged through benefits, this transaction is not a loss.

If Roddy is here, he must say "Magic technology is the first productive force."

There is no way, the level of magic is not as good as others, and there is nothing to achieve with magical skills. In the face of magic techniques that can greatly enhance the strength of the country, plus people have no intention of aggression, this money must be squeezed. come out!

If it was two years ago, Charles II may not have much interest, but now Eta ’s relationship with the kingdom is tense, and the orcs are not rested. These magic techniques can reduce the loss of logistics during the war, improve the ability to respond to the front battlefield, and so on. From any point of view, Charles II could not make a stance, so from the beginning of this negotiation, he knew that he had to agree sooner or later, the difference was only how much he paid.

"The basic intent is almost reached. Tomorrow you will take someone to deal with the final negotiations, just sign the contract."

These things do not need to be personally handled by Charles II. He is responsible for grasping the direction. Although he is in a bad mood, there is nothing to complain about at this point. After making a decision, he asked more: "Yes, yesterday. Several wizards promised a spell test with Houdini. Gary, can you tell us, can we bring back a city? "

"This…"

Gary, who had wanted to give an affirmative answer, hesitated, completely speechless.

Charles II also understood what this meant, and sighed, no longer having much illusions about the outcome.

Three hours later, there was no suspense in the "friendly discussion" between Rahman and Karen.

A total of ten contests, each of them selected ten young magicians to participate, each side proposed five contest questions to show fairness, including understanding of magic, speed of casting, accuracy of casting, anti-jamming cast ability, attack target Comparison of accuracy, defensive spell strength, and other aspects-it sounds good, but the actual results have made the Karen kingdom mages almost unable to step down.

Of the ten people who participated in the test, only Melinzela won with an overwhelming advantage, and the other players were completely defeated by the opponent, and there was no room for refutation!

The Karen talents who were secretly unconvinced before the test were like eggplants frosted at this time, one by one, bowing their heads and not talking. Their mentors all have different expressions--the hot-tempered ones have scolded their students on the spot. The only thing that is normal is Melinthera's nominal mentor "Crown of Ice" Crohn.

After all, only his students saved the face of the Karen Kingdom in the ten contests, but at this time he was not in the mood to be content with himself. As one of the kingdom's top mages, he was thinking like a few other wizards: To what extent is the Rasiman kingdom strong?

Houdini, as the absolute winner, was full of joy at this time, but he was more interested in the master who shined in the last match-"Ah ... Master Melinthera, you are destined to become the Kingdom of Karen One of the most powerful mages of the future. "

Facing the compliments given by the other party, Melinzela was not as cold as the dragons, but showed a standard aristocratic smile: "Thank you for your compliments, and the admiration of your mage's performance also impressed me."

Her experience in the human world has taught Melinzela a more "smooth" attitude towards life. If you know the advance and retreat and make sense, these two points alone do not know where you are higher than those geniuses with bad personality next to you.

But Houdini was more than a compliment, he looked deeper.

Although nominally an "envoy", Houdini is also a member of the top sequence of Rashiman mages-he is not studying the powerful "element system", but the extremely unfamiliar "prophecy system".

In most people ’s eyes, the “predictor” is basically equal to the “liar”, because more than half of the words in the mouth of the predictor cannot be verified. Something like “I think you have to transfer” and “You have a **** disaster” People sneered at such "prophecy." But in fact, the ability of a high-level "prophetist" is much more than just a glimpse into the future.

Just like Houdini, in fact, just before the test, she confirmed the "potential" of Melincela with "Ability Detection" and confirmed the fact that she is a unique number in this group of mages!

Houdini finds herself unable to estimate her growth ceiling, which means that Melinzela will undoubtedly be stronger than herself-and it means that she is enough to shoulder the few of the Similan Supreme Council A giant!

So Houdini immediately had a few thoughts and put them into practice ...

"Today's contest opened my eyes. Although the mages in your country are in poor condition, their performance is remarkable." Houdini did not continue to ridicule or degrade these mages in the Karen kingdom, but chose to maintain it. Looking at the other person's face, this concession also made the faces of several wizards look better.

Knowing that this was not enough, Houdini sincerely took out the "private goods" and made some suggestions and guidance for these younger generations. Not only were the young people, but several wizards could not help but join the discussion-because Hu A few words from Dini did have the effect of building high buildings. After chatting for ten minutes like this, the awkward and tense atmosphere disappeared, and finally there was a "friendly discussion".

After all, mages are not fanatics. They are generally more inclined to seek knowledge and power, and are not sensitive to things like "loyalty to the royal family." So when Houdini later proposed the concept, almost all young people were interested.

"Although my students are better at some aspects, the magic of the Karen Kingdom is unique, which is an inevitable result of cultural differences." Houdini's object at this time became Crohn et al. Several wizards, as well as Gary, standing a little behind.

"So I hope that my students can study here for a year, experience different magic cultures, and use this to improve their understanding of magic. In exchange, I also hope that your country will have excellent young magicians who can Come back to Rasiman with me and feel the charm of the Magic Country! "

This statement immediately excites a young man!

The magical accomplishments and strength of the Kingdom of Rahman have been fully confirmed in these days. In the eyes of the mages of the Karen Kingdom, the country across the sea has become a "magic holy place" worthy of pilgrimage. The communication just improved a little, and almost no one can resist the temptation.

However, these people are not stupid, and it is definitely not a mediocre person to be able to go to Rasiman, especially Houdini's "excellent" magician ... Everyone knows what it means to be Melinella.

Because of the geographical relationship, the Kingdom of Rahman will not have a direct conflict with the Kingdom of Karen, so now it is the "honeymoon period" of friendly cooperation between the two countries. With this premise, Crohn and others will send a few people to learn some advanced Spell comes back. Seeing Houdini's request, they naturally began to ask for opinions-but what they didn't expect was that Melinthela, who was first asked and everyone thought was bound to be elected, did not. I promised in one bite.

"The Kingdom of Rasiman is very happy to help the excellent mage. We have enough systematic research and publishing institutions. Every day, countless mages will publish their own experience. Even ordinary people who ca n’t magic can understand the current state of the kingdom. Cutting-edge consulting on the latest spell research ... Every day in Raciman, you can witness the improvement of the spell system! "

If the genius of Merlin Sera could not be taken away, Houdini would have lost a lot—he had no interest in other wizards with little ability, and the only thing he wanted to do was to take Merlin with the resources of the Kingdom of Rasiman Sela stays!

The mage is looking for power. It is the same wherever he is looking. The word "treason" does not turn on the mage at all. Houdini even found a reason for Melinella's "long-term overseas study" ...

Such a genius is a pity for the Karen Kingdom.

"I'm honored to have the honor to accept your invitation." Of course Melinzela didn't really want to go. She actually wanted to see more advanced magic systems, but since I heard those conversations from Charles II yesterday, She had some other thoughts-"But whether I can leave the kingdom to study in your country, I hope to give me a day to think it over, and Lord Houdini forgive me."

As soon as Houdini heard the play, he was ready to respond, but he didn't say it, but suddenly found that he had an extra line of handwriting in front of him!

He hesitated for a second, then immediately realized that the handwriting was not floating in the air, but that his precise method shone an imperceptible subtle beam on his right eye-Houdini found that Melinella from beginning to end She didn't even raise her hand, her expression was more natural, but that's it, she just passed a message to herself in front of the magic teachers!

Or rather, a condition.

Melinella asked Houdini to sell the magical materials traded to the royal family to Elson City at a 50% discount, otherwise he would refuse to go to Rasiman.

She could safely say nothing to set foot on the ship to Rasiman, but what about Roddy? Will he be obliterated in the dust of history when he returns?

After learning about Elson's plight, Melinthia actually wanted to find a chance to do something—her life was saved by Roddy. If such a cold-blooded choice is ignored, Melinzela will still Might have died in the glacial plains long ago.

So after seizing the opportunity in front of her, Merlin Sera did not hesitate to make this gamble!

Houdini narrowed his eyes ~ www.readwn.com ~ The same Magister, he returned to normal after a short surprise, and replied: "Of course, Rasiman welcomes excellent magicians like you at any time!"

The conversation that followed was routine and polite. Before long, Houdini and his party returned to the dormitory arranged for them by the royal family. Houdini thought about it in the armchair for a long time, and finally sighed: "Forget it, Rashiman has no genius, so there is no need to offend the royal family for this ..."

Obviously, he gave up his plan to "introduce" Merlinthella. After all, the "diplomat" most concerned about not being involved in the political whirlpool of other countries. Once something goes wrong, it must be a bad ending.

After making a decision, Houdini relaxed a lot. He turned over a stack of documents in front of the door, and Houdini began to meditate daily.

However, today's meditation was not smooth, because it was not long before he was interrupted by the knock of the subordinate's door—he was very surprised that there could be any urgent matters at this time, but the news that later got him directly from the chair Jumped up!
