Demon Lord

At the same time, the kingdom of Rahiman, thousands of miles away, was in full swing.

Duriel, the capital of the kingdom, is close to the sea. It is a great city built by magicians on the seaside and mountains. After defeating the church and liberating the people, these mages refused to use the original holy city as their capital, but directly leveled an originally sinister cliff, and built a paradise that truly belonged to the mages.

Rahiman's giant floating towers are reconstructed from those truncated peaks. They are all submerged in the bottom of the cliff at this time. Only when it is in a state of emergency, these huge peaks will float out of the sky. From there, use the towers and ballista towers arranged above to deter any enemies who want to approach Rahiman.

And in the center of Duriel, a cylindrical magic tower with a height of 100 meters and an overall octagonal shape stands in the center of all the buildings. Here is the core of the entire kingdom, the most authoritative institution that countless magicians yearn for, and also the office area Collen Mill where Rahiman's Supreme Magic Council is located.

In Lashman's language, Colummir has the meaning of eye of truth. This is also the self-confidence and conceit of a group of high-level magicians. The pursuit of truth is the biggest difference between them and the church. Lashman's mages don't need to worship some illusory god, they only believe in themselves.

Rahiman has no king, only a council of mages. The chairperson of the council is Jeremy, the speaker. There are more than 80 members in the council, each from the six largest magic academies in the country. The six core members of each college can be re-elected up to three times, and the remaining ordinary members have a term of up to five years, and they need to abdicate when they expire.

This move is to keep new members joining the parliament and to ensure that the political wind will not become more dull and conservative, following in the footsteps of the church.

Qualifications for entry to parliament involve various aspects. Magician is just one of the entry thresholds, not a mandatory requirement. Because the mages also know that some people are suitable for fighting and some are suitable for politics, and they don't expect those who are good at fighting to govern the country. Therefore, if you want to enter the parliament, you must not only be recognized by the council in terms of academics, but also have a deep foundation and convincing achievements in your respective colleges.

Therefore, Houdini has not been able to enter the parliament so far.

Parliament holds weekly full meetings, although such meetings often do not require the presence of a group. When there is no clear statement of the need for full resolution, more than 70% of the members can discuss and vote on the decision when they are present. At this moment, the ongoing meeting is still as boring as usual.

The content of Master Cole's thesis has not been repeated by other mages so far. I think his thesis is suspected of being forged. The purpose is entirely to defraud high gold coins and arcane points. So I propose on behalf of Barrenna College: expel this The eligibility for further study will be revoked, the thesis will be revoked, and the reviewers who applied for the review will be punished!

There was a murmur in the parliament,

The mages present here can be called the elite class of the entire Rahiman Kingdom. No matter how poor their magic skills are, they are all people who have done solid magic research. And what this group of old fellows who came from academic masters look down on most is thesis fraud, so the request made by the chief councilor of Ballenner College was quickly recognized by many people.

The final result of the vote is also very clear: the mage named Cole was revoked the title of researcher of the Rahiman Mage Association, and his arcane points were cleared. void.

For Lashman's mages, the title of researcher is very high. And being deprived of the title basically means that the future of a lifetime is completely over. Although cruel, Rahiman's punishment for counterfeiters is always so strict.

And Acanotic Points is a system unique to Laximan, that is, the contribution value of each mage to the entire Laximan magic system. The Eye of Truth magic tower has resources that all mages dream of, but there is also a strict classification system.

Want to use more resources? Yes, you must have enough Arcania Points to enjoy it.

There are roughly two ways to obtain arcane points. One is to complete the tasks issued by the Rahiman Mage Association, such as hunting monsters, exploring unknown areas, collecting rare plants, etc.; When it can be published in the newspapers or journals of various colleges, the arcane points can be calculated according to a certain coefficient ratio and assigned to the author's name.

And if other papers or newspapers have citation records, they will also be rewarded with arcane points in proportion. Therefore, every pioneering spell research will bring a lot of arcane energy points, and even make the original author one of the highest councils.

Higher arcane points can lead to more distinguished titles, access to higher-level libraries, and more comprehensive laboratories that can borrow equipment. And all arcane points are recorded in the book, so they cannot be traded. Therefore, in the eyes of the high-ranking mage Laximan, arcane points are far more important than money.

It is precisely because arcane points are so important that most of the council's agenda also revolves around rewarding arcane points. At this time, after severely punishing the mage who falsified the thesis, the following topic involved the topic that many high-level mages in Rahiman are currently studying to overcome: the improvement of the floating tower magic circle.

Barrena College has published three new related papers, which have been unanimously approved by all other chief councilors...

There are six magic academies in Lashman, from the largest to the smallest, they are Barrenna, Defoe, Kasmore, Mophant, Tim and Brenka Academy. In today's parliament, Barrena, who is the most powerful, has almost monopolized all research projects on the Floating Tower. It is far ahead in the world, and let the mages in the academy become researchers one by one.

At the same time, there are as many as ten councilors from Barrenna College, and they have an absolutely strong voice.

The Brenka College where Master Houdini was located happened to be the weakest of the six colleges. Originally, Brenka College lived a peaceful life and basically did not participate in the battles of other colleges, but unfortunately... when Houdini sent news about Elson City a month ago, the entire college was pushed to the ground. On the cusp.

When Houdini contacted the parliament on the Boratini, the disappointing answers again and again were due to the Barrenna College. To put it bluntly, the cobalt gold mine is the biggest trump card for the Barrenna College to gain a foothold in the parliament. As a monopoly, how could he want others to break his dominant position?

Therefore, the Brenka Academy, which was already a small force, was squeezed out one after another. In the end, even the appeal was invalid, and Houdini's request was directly voted down...

Houdini didn't know what happened behind it at the time. The transmission circles on the Boratini were all public to public, and he had no personal way to contact the Brenka Academy to understand the cause and effect. So the letters saying rejection request really broke his heart.

Even though there is a patriotic blood, it can't stand the dirt of politics and let it be smeared on the ground.
