In the palace of Shengyao City.

In the study, Wade was reviewing the documents submitted from below.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

As soon as Wade finished speaking.

A servant was seen outside the door, hurriedly opening the door from outside and walking in.

"What's the matter so urgent?!"

Wade put down the pen in his hand, looked at the servant's anxious look and asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, several nobles want to see you."

"Let them in, just in time for me to rest."

Wade thought for a while and said to the servant.

When the servant heard what Wade said, he immediately turned around and walked out.

After a while.

Several ministers walked into the study.

"My lords, your injuries have not healed yet, why are you still running around?"

Wade looked at these ministers, still wrapped in gauze, and said with a wry smile.

The fat man in the lead said with an awkward smile.

"The reason why we came here is important..."

"I know it even if you don't tell me."

"It's because of this magician competition."

"I just announced it not long ago, and you are already the third group to come to me."

Wade looked at the nobles and smiled, then said.

"The third group... Yes, otherwise how would I know why you came to me."

The nobles below all looked embarrassed when they heard Wade say this.

"Then your majesty..."

"Even if such a big thing happened, I still decided to hold this magician competition."

"But what if there is danger again..."

Now they are already frightened birds, even the emperor's birthday party can be attacked. If they fail this time, the enemy is likely to aim for the next opportunity.

And this magician competition is a good opportunity next time.

"If this magician competition is cancelled, it will be equivalent to telling those people that we are afraid, and it will also be equivalent to telling the people that something has happened in our empire."

The nobles below didn't know what to say to refute Wade's words after hearing this.

"But your majesty, why do you raise the magician competition to...anyone under 30 can participate, in the past it was only under 20..."

"Isn't this a bit unfair..."

The nobles asked with some concern.

"More competition will give us motivation, and haven't I explained my requirements above?"

"We won't compete together in the knockout rounds. The draw will be disrupted only in the main rounds."

.....

"Alas~ I was thinking about letting my son get a good ranking, but who knew that His Majesty raised the age limit to under 30 this time."

"Who said it wasn't? My son is waiting for this magician competition to shine!"

"Your Majesty has directly changed the rules this time. How can people under 20 fight against people over 20?"

"Isn't this bullying?"

"Yes! I guess it's good luck to pass the knockout rounds."

Jiri walked out of the room with a frown on his face.

Hipp happened to come over.

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty?"

"I heard your voices from a distance."

Several people were busy talking and didn't see anyone coming over.

Several people looked up suddenly and saw Hipp standing in front of them.

Seeing that it was Ship, several people trembled all over.

"Knight Commander Ship!"

"We didn't say anything!"

"No, no, you must have heard it wrong just now, Lord Ship."

Several people quickly said quibblingly.

"But I just heard you..."

"Lord Ship, we have something to do at home, so we'll leave first!"

"Lord Ship, my gauze is about to break, I have to deal with it!"

"Lord Ship, my wife is about to give birth, I have to go back quickly!"

.....

Before Ship could continue to say anything, several people ran away.

"These guys, really."

Ship looked at these nobles and shook his head with a smile.

I just asked casually, but I didn't expect to be so scared.

Ship didn't plan to pursue it, but walked straight into Wade's study.

Others may need to be notified, but as Wade's personal bodyguard and the head of the Knights.

He has the right to enter and exit the palace at any time.

Except for the forbidden area of ​​the palace, he can go anywhere.

"Your Majesty."

"Are you asking again..."

"Ship?!"

WadeJust as I picked up the pen, I heard a sound coming from outside the door. I thought it was the nobles who had not left just now, and they turned back again.

But as soon as I looked up, I saw Ship standing at the door.

"Come on, come in."

"I thought it was those nobles just now."

Wade said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, this is the third batch you have received today, right?"

"They are all here for this magician competition."

"Yes, they want to postpone this magician competition for safety reasons, but they are actually concerned about the changes in the rules."

Wade nodded and said.

"Indeed, the age range is a bit large."

"Just like the students of our magic academy in Shengyao City, they are basically under 20 years old."

"And not only that, the span of strength may also be very large."

Ship thought for a while and said.

"I have thought about this problem, but I don't have time now."

"I am too short of available talents now."

Wade also understood the reason.

Since its creation, this magician competition has been a selection competition to cultivate the golden generation.

That's why the age is set to children under 20 years old.

Ship also looked ugly when he heard Wade's words.

Indeed, just as Wade said to him last time.

The current talent pool of the empire is indeed an empty shell. Although it looks gorgeous on the outside, it is actually empty inside.

"If we really go to war with the orcs, we will be very passive."

"So your majesty, you want to select someone who can be entrusted with important tasks through this magician competition?"

"That's right, and the subsequent magician competitions may be the same!"

Wade stood up and nodded.

"But your majesty, the orcs may not go to war. After all, they are still very afraid of our magic."

Ship followed.

"Although that's what I said, I don't know why, I have a very strong feeling... the war is about to break out!"

Wade slowly raised his head and looked at the huge map of the empire hanging on the wall of his study and said...
