Demon Lord

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

The cursing voice of the royal magician Gary echoed in the hall, and the one who pursed his lips tightly and said nothing in front of him was Charles II who had finished the second round of negotiations in the morning.

Gary's strength is not as good as those of the magisters, and his magic skills are mediocre. The only thing worthy of praise is his political ability and ideological awareness.

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

After preliminary negotiations with Houdini of the Rahiman Kingdom, Charles II finally understood the intention of the other party to come here. In fact, before the other party opened his mouth, he had almost anticipated the reason why this magic kingdom came to demonstrate in front of him.

In one word: interest.

There has never been any friendship or hatred between countries, there are only interests. Charles II is a standard politician, he has a thorough understanding of this aspect, so he is not surprised by the demands made by the other party. Gary is also not stupid, but as a close minister next to the monarch, he is very clear about his role and position, so his complaints and curses at this time are actually entirely to vent his depression for Charles II...

Forget it. To put it bluntly, this plan is a win-win situation for both parties.

Daylight poured into the house from the side windows at the top of the palace, but Charles II's expression seemed to blend into the shadows. Half of his body was leaning on the throne, making it difficult to see his face clearly, but his tone at this time was much more relaxed than earlier today - obviously Gary's risky cursing just now had some effect .

Fifteen applied magic circles, twenty-seven improved spell teaching materials, one hundred and thirty-seven kinds of magic prop manufacturing manuals... These invisible and intangible things are just a number, but magicians understand... this It is an insurmountable gap in the level of magic between Karen Kingdom and Rahiman Kingdom.

Just for these things, Houdini asked for a large amount of wealth of the royal family and the right to trade in the port.

The bomb thrown by the Rahiman kingdom made Karen's mages a little confused. Basically, mages who understand magic will feel that this deal is not worthwhile, but after seeing the pictures of the scroll circles, they also understand... If these things can be exchanged through benefits, the deal is actually not a loss.

If Rody was here, he would definitely say Magic technology is the primary productive force.

There is no way, the level of magic is not as good as others, and there is no outstanding achievement in divine arts. Facing the magic technology that can greatly enhance the country's strength, and they have no aggressive intentions, the money will be squeezed no matter what. come out!

If it was two years ago,

Charles II may not have much interest, but now the relationship between Efta and the kingdom is tense, and the orcs are restless, and these magical technologies can reduce logistical losses during wartime, improve frontal battlefield response capabilities, and so on. From any point of view, Charles II could not stand on the sidelines, so from the very beginning of this negotiation, he knew that he would agree to it sooner or later, the difference was only in the price paid.

The basic intention has almost been reached. Tomorrow, you can lead someone to deal with the final negotiation and sign the contract.

Charles II does not need to do these things himself, he is responsible for grasping the direction. Although he is in a bad mood, there is nothing to complain about. After making a decision, he asked one more question: By the way, yesterday Several magisters agreed to have a spell contest with Houdini. Gary, tell me, can we win back a victory?

this…

Gary, who wanted to give an affirmative answer, hesitated for a moment, completely at a loss for words.

Charles II also understood what this meant, sighed, and no longer had much illusion about the result.

And three hours later, the friendly exchange between the Rahiman Kingdom and the Karen Kingdom ended without any suspense.

There are a total of ten competitions. Both sides select ten young magicians to participate. Each side proposes five competition questions to show fairness, including the understanding of magic, the speed of casting spells, the accuracy of casting spells, the ability to resist interference, and the target of attack. The competition in terms of accuracy, defensive magic strength, etc. - it sounds good, but the actual results almost made the mages of the Karen Kingdom unable to step down.

Among the ten people who participated in the competition, only Melinsera won by an overwhelming advantage, and the rest of the contestants were completely defeated by the opponent, and there was no room for refutation!

The Karen talents who were still secretly unconvinced before the competition were like eggplants beaten by frost, all of them bowed their heads and remained silent. The expressions of their mentors were even more different—the hot-tempered ones had already scolded their students on the spot, and the only normal one was Merlinthra's nominal mentor Crown of Ice Kron.

After all, only one of his students saved the face of the Karen Kingdom in the ten competitions, but at this time he was not in the mood to be complacent. As one of the top mages in the kingdom, he was thinking about the same as the other magisters at this time: Just how strong is the Rahiman Kingdom?

Houdini, as the absolute winner, was blushing at this time, but what he was more interested in was the mage who shined in the last competition—Ah...Master Merlinsera, you are destined to become the Karen Kingdom One of the most powerful mages of the future.

Faced with the other party's compliments, Melinthra was not as cold as the Dragon Clan, but showed a standard aristocratic smile: Thank you for your compliment. I also admire the performance of the mages of your country.

The experience in the human world has taught Melinsella a more smooth attitude towards life. Knowing how to advance and retreat, and being sensible, these two points alone are far superior to those geniuses with unruly personalities around him.

But Houdini was not just a compliment, he saw something deeper.

Although he is an envoy in name, Houdini is also a member of the top sequence of mages in the Rahiman Kingdom - what he studies is not the powerful element system, but the extremely rare prophecy system.

In the eyes of most people, forecaster is basically equated with liar, because more than half of what the prophet said cannot be verified. People scoff at such prophecies. But in fact, the ability of high-level prophets goes far beyond peeking into the future.

Just like Houdini, in fact, he used ability detection to confirm Melinthra's potential during the competition, and confirmed a fact: she is a unique number among this group of mages!

Houdini found that he could not estimate her growth limit, which meant that Merlinsera would undoubtedly be much stronger than himself in the future—and this meant that she was comparable to those of Rahiman Supreme Law City Council. A giant!

So Houdini immediately had some ideas in his mind and put them into practice...

Today's competition was an eye-opener for me. Although the mages of your country are not in good condition, their performance is remarkable. Houdini did not continue to mock or belittle these mages of the Karen Kingdom, but chose to maintain Looking at the face of the other party, this concession also made the faces of several magisters look better.

Houdini knew that this was not enough, so he sincerely took out his private goods to give some pointers and guidance to these younger generations. Now not only the young people, but also several magisters couldn't help but join the discussion—because Hu Dini's few words really have the effect of Gao Yajian Zhen. After chatting like this for about ten minutes, the awkward and tense atmosphere before was gone, and finally there was a friendly discussion.

After all, mages are not fanatics. They generally tend to pursue knowledge and power, and are not sensitive to loyalty to the royal family. Therefore, when Houdini proposed the concept, almost all young people became interested.

Although in some aspects my students are better at it, the magic of Karen Kingdom has its own unique features, which is the inevitable result of cultural differences. Houdini now spoke to Crohn and others A few magisters, as well as Gary who stood a little behind.

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

As soon as this remark came out, a young man was extremely excited!

The attainments and strength of the Rahiman Kingdom in magic have been fully confirmed in these days. In the eyes of the mages of the Karen Kingdom, the country on the other side of the sea has become a magic holy place worthy of pilgrimage. The communication just improved a bit, and the temptation is almost no one can resist.

But these people are not stupid, and those who can go to Laximan will definitely not be mediocre, especially the excellent magician in Houdini's mouth... Everyone knows that he refers to Melinthra.

Because of the geographical relationship, the Rahiman Kingdom will never have a direct conflict with the Karen Kingdom, so now it is the honeymoon period of friendly cooperation between the two countries. With this premise, Crohn and others would like to send a few more people to learn some advanced knowledge. Spell back. Seeing that Houdini made this request, they naturally began to ask for opinions. However, what they didn't expect was that Melinsera, who was asked first and everyone thought she would be elected, did not He readily agreed.

The Rahiman Kingdom is very willing to help outstanding mages. We have a sufficiently systematic spell research and publishing organization. Every day, countless mages publish their experiences and experiences. Even ordinary people who don't know magic can also learn about the current state of the kingdom. Cutting-edge consulting on the latest spell research...every day in Laximan, you can witness the process of improving the spell system!

If the genius Merlinsera could not be taken away, Houdini would be at a loss—he had no interest in other incompetent mages, and the only thing he wanted to do was to use the resources of the Lashman Kingdom to take Merlin Sera stay!

What the mage seeks is power, and it doesn’t matter where he pursues it. The word “treason” doesn’t apply to the mage at all. Houdini even found a reason for Merlinsera’s “long-term overseas stay” in his heart…

It is a pity to give such a genius to Karen Kingdom.

It's a great honor to accept your invitation. Of course, Melinsella didn't really want to go, she actually wanted to see a more advanced magic system, but since she heard the conversations of Charles II yesterday, Then she had some other thoughts—However, I hope you can give me a day to think about whether it is possible to leave the kingdom to study in your country, and I hope Lord Houdini will forgive me.

As soon as Houdini heard that there was something interesting, he immediately prepared to respond, but before he could speak, he suddenly found that there was an extra line of handwriting in front of him for no reason!

He was stunned for half a second, and then immediately realized that the handwriting was not floating in the air, but that its precise technique shone an imperceptible light beam on his right eye——Houdini found that from the beginning to the end, Merlinsera She didn't even raise her hand, and her expression was extremely natural, but that's it, she just quietly sent a message to herself in front of all the magisters!

Or rather, a condition.

Merlinsera asked Houdini to sell the magic materials traded to the royal family to Elson City at a 50% discount, otherwise she would refuse to go to Laciman.

She can safely set foot on the boat to Laximan without saying anything, but what about Rody? Will he have been annihilated in the dust of history when he returns?

After learning about Elson's predicament, Melinsella was always looking for an opportunity to do something - her life was saved by Roddy, if she chose to ignore it in such a cold-blooded way, then Melinsella would still It would be better to die in the glacier plain long ago.

So after seizing the opportunity in front of her, Merlinsera made this gamble without hesitation!

Houdini narrowed his eyes. He, who was also a magister, returned to normal after a brief surprise, and replied: Of course, Laciman welcomes an excellent magician like you at any time!

The conversation that followed was a routine of courtesy, and it didn't take long for Houdini and his party to return to the dormitory arranged for them by the royal family to rest. But Houdini pondered for a long time in the armchair, and finally sighed: Forget it, Rahiman is not short of geniuses, there is no need to offend the royal family for this...

Apparently he gave up his plan to introduce Melinsera. After all, the most important thing for envoys is not to get involved in the political vortex of other countries.

After making a decision, Houdini felt much more relaxed. After flipping through the stack of documents in front of the door, Houdini began to meditate every day.

However, today's meditation did not go well, because it was interrupted by a subordinate's knock on the door shortly after it started—he wondered what could be urgent at such a time, but the news he learned later made him jump straight from the chair Jump up!
