Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1795 The king and his advisor rule the world together
Alinthal.

The high-ranking mage Tai Lun hurriedly broke into the palace of the Crown King, and after about a quarter of an hour, envoys continued to come out of the palace, and at the same time, a piece of news came out——

This year's orc tide is ahead of schedule, and it's more serious than previous years!
All parts of Ilfaron, especially the towns in the north, dispatched scouts to the farther north in order to control the movements of the orcs at any time.

At the same time, in the crown prince's palace, the consultants also had different views on how to deal with the sudden wave of orcs.

One of the consultants looked relaxed, as if he didn't pay attention to this unprecedented wave of orcs at all, and said lightly:
"The news brought back by Mage Tyron is very timely. The most important thing now is not to find the possible mastermind behind the scenes, but how to deal with the impact of the orc wave."

But just after he finished speaking, another consultant raised a different opinion, "Your Majesty, my suggestion is just the opposite. As long as the Northern Mystery is closed, the orcs will at most wreak havoc on the outskirts of the Levi Forest, and they will eventually recede. If you retreat, you can easily defeat it in the coming year.

"The most important thing now is to find the driving force behind this incident. Since they can do such a thing, they may not have other backers. Ignoring this will only lead us into endless passive coping."

"Who else is behind this incident, either Comanso or Yeerlan, are you going to start a war with them because of this now?"

As for who is behind the scenes, the advisors of King Lorian have roughly the same judgment, either Comanthor or Ye Erlan.

The former and Irfaran are almost deadly enemies, while the latter, the ancient fortress recently appeared in Sluvand, and Irfaran also wants to profit from it. Yeerlan may not be unable to do such a thing in order to hold back Irfaran .

The same Comanthor will not be willing to give up the ancient fortress that may be stored in the magic weapon of war. In addition, Ilfaran has always been hostile to them, so it is not impossible to trigger the wave of orcs in advance.

As for Netheril, or other small countries, these consultants didn't think much about it.

After all, Netheril is an ally of Ilfaran, and the ancient fortress belongs to the elves, and no matter how happy humans are, it is not their turn.

And those small countries do have motives to disturb the water, but if such a thing is done, it will leave traces, even if there is no conclusive evidence, but for the big countries, there is no need for conclusive evidence at all, as long as a suspicion is enough Let the small country feel restless.

The advisors of the crowned king of Lorien don't think that those small countries really have the guts to plot against Ilfaron, and it's too late to protect themselves. Isn't such a provocation courting death!
Lorian watched the consultants arguing with each other, but he focused on another issue:

"Mage Tyron, just now you mentioned that you found traces of the activities of the Orc Slayer Society in the north, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Is there any preserved sample?" Mianwang asked again.

"Yes, I even captured an orc shaman who had met the caster at that time."

"The orcs don't care for the time being, you will show Wallis the preserved traces."

When Crown Prince said this, the consultant named "Wallis" suddenly felt a little dissatisfied, "Your Majesty, it is good that the Orc Slayer Society bears my name, but Your Majesty—and everyone, do you think I have control over the society? Is it that weak?"

"Wallis, don't get excited. I'm not blaming you, but I want you to see the methods of those behind the scenes, and see if you can find any flaws." Mian Wang quickly comforted him.

Ilfaran has already completed the centralization reform, but the power is not concentrated in the Crown Prince, but in a real power department called the [Governing Advisory Group].

At the same time, he is also the real controller of the Ilfaran Mystic System. The crown king only has the power to recall and supervise him. As for the appointment, it is all recommended by the lower-level parliament.

In the same way, the previous generation of Mianwang is responsible for the appointment and inheritance of Mianwang, but it can be removed by the [Governing Advisory Group].

However, at the beginning of the centralization reform in Ilfaran, Mian Wang and the ruling adviser swore to each other to be loyal to their duties. As long as they did not make some principled mistakes, they would not have to worry about being dismissed.

Like this time, if the caster who triggered the orc wave in advance was Wallis's subordinate, then he might indeed be dismissed by the crown king.

It's just that at this moment, a ruling consultant has already reached a conclusion, such as Comanso or Yeerlan behind this matter.

Therefore, Wallis regained his composure after Lorian Mianwang comforted him. In fact, he was more worried about his colleagues than Mianwang.

The number of governing advisers is limited, and sometimes colleagues may not be able to make an existing ruling adviser go down in order to push up alternate ruling advisers who are closer to their own camp.

It's just that once you become a ruling adviser, there must be many forces gathered around you. Generally, the ruling advisers only have high or low qualifications, but no authority level, so it is difficult to control them for a long time.

If it is forcibly manipulated, it will instead push the opponent to another ruling adviser.

Therefore, in the nearly 200 years from the establishment of the centralized system in Ilfaran to the present, no ruling adviser has ever stepped down due to power struggle.

After all, there is still a Mian Wang above, and the rights and responsibilities of both parties are clearly defined. If Mian Wang handles things unfairly, it may not be the trigger for his own dismissal in the future.

Next, under the demonstration of Master Tyronn, Wallis saw the so-called traces of the society's activities - several emblems and accessories with the logo of the society, as well as the remnants of the aura that was not eliminated after the spell was cast but was intercepted and preserved by Tyron.

Badge accessories are not surprising. As long as you have the heart, you don’t even need to imitate them. You can buy genuine products directly from the Institute store. It’s the remnant of inspiration that makes Wallis hesitate.

The [Orc Slayer Society] he founded has some unique spells that he created specially for the society. Every convert has a record, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to obtain them.

But now, he discovered the characteristics of learning unique spells from that remnant of spiritual light, which was simply unacceptable to him.

"This must be a trick of the enemy. Although the beast-slaying spell restricts the conversion of spellcasters outside the academy, as far as I know, there have been beast-slaying spells that have been secretly circulated in China."

"I can prove it!"

It was none other than Tai Lun who had preserved the remnants of the spiritual light. Although he was not a member of the ruling advisory group, he also had the power of law enforcement within the system.

On the way to the palace, he had already searched for the essential characteristics of the aura remnants preserved this time with the help of the mystic. There are indeed many spellcasters in the country who have mastered similar spells.

If it is a power struggle, even if other spellcasters have mastered similar spells, the remnant of aura that has the characteristics of the spells learned by Wallis can be used as a handle to overthrow him.

But now, the priority of external threats is obviously higher than the priority of the struggle for power.
