Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

In the previous life, there was no such item as a magic wand in the world.

The top magicians at that time could master hundreds of magics at the same time. In other words, the magicians themselves were the props that carried the magic.

The disadvantage is also obvious that magic needs to be released through chanting and hand seals.

In other words, sufficient lead time is required to release magic, and enough magic materials are consumed to construct the magic circle.

Moreover, the more powerful the magic, the longer it takes to chant and seal, and the amount of magical materials consumed is astronomical.

Such as the original magic [True Hundred Dragons Comet] of [Fake Hundred Dragons Comet].

According to legend, it was one of the nine dragon kings, Salom the Undying, who was imprisoned by the Dragon God in the Dragon Tomb where all the previous dragon kings slept. Out of grief and unwillingness, he used the skeletons of the previous dragon kings sleeping in the Dragon Tomb to create the dragon language magic.

It chanted for a hundred years, from the moment it was imprisoned until it used this magic to break the Dragon God's seal a hundred years later.

The skeletons of all the dragon kings also became the materials for constructing this magic circle.

By drawing out the blood power from the bones of successive Dragon Kings and gathering it into the [True Hundred Dragon Comet], he was able to break the seal and regain his freedom.

Today's magic wand system is a different system.

Even a super-large magic that can destroy a country in one blow does not require lengthy chanting, nor does it require consuming magical materials to form seals or set up magic circles.

The battle between top magicians can often decide the outcome in just a few seconds.

With this in mind, a wand that can master multiple properties at once would be a huge advantage.

For this reason, Hull prepared nine magic wands for use in battle in advance to facilitate dealing with opponents of different combat types.

He explained to the Blue Queen why he prepared so many magic wands.

Of course, there was no mention of his magic system in his previous life.

"But how do you control these wands?"

"This..." Hull showed the little finger of his left hand, on which was a magic orb inlaid with dark red color.

"Could it be... this is also a magic wand?"

Hull gave a bitter smile. In fact, although the magic wands of this era all belong to the magic wand system, their appearances vary greatly.

The hand-axe-shaped wand seized when the Kumin magician was captured, and the stick-shaped wand used by Olympa.

In addition, there are sword-shaped, knife-shaped, and bow-shaped wands.

Using the magical knowledge from Hull's previous life to explain, the magic wands in this world are closer to [magic devices].

And it was with the help of the concept of [magic device] that Hull created this ring-shaped magic wand using the fragments of the magic orb.

Hull nodded: "Yes, this is also a magic wand. The effect is very simple, it is a degraded version of telekinesis, and it can only freely control objects weighing no more than 100 kilograms within three meters of me."

"It's hard to believe that such a small ring can also be a magic wand..."

In addition to craftsmanship, wand craftsmen are also a profession that places great emphasis on creativity and artistry.

A wand is a weapon to a magician, but a commodity and even a work of art to a wand craftsman.

In addition to powerful effects, the appearance of magic wands that can show personality is also the trend of this era.

"The controllable range was reduced to a minimum, and the ability was only pure telekinesis. After a lot of testing, this small wand was created."

"Wouldn't it be a magic wand for a magician? Although the skills of our Kumin craftsmen are not high, we can still make a wand that suits the characteristics of a magician."

Hull gave a bitter smile. This was truly putting the cart before the horse.

The quality of the magic wand represents the technology of a country and nation.

It is a sign that can distinguish the strength of a country.

If you demonstrate superb wand-making technology, even if it is just a small tribe of a few hundred thousand people, other big countries will need to think carefully.

After all, in this era, there are also god-level magic wands that can destroy hundreds of thousands of troops in a single blow.

"This duel is actually to show you my skills as a wand craftsman."

Nine wands, plus a ring in the left hand to control the nine wands.

If you want to win the battle, there is no need to go to such great lengths to show off.

After all, in this era, it is very difficult for a magician to fully master a wand.

Hel could have used the [Illusion] wand right from the start, and the battle could have been over in a few minutes.

"Indeed, the level of the orbs in these wands is very low, but the wands made from them are very practical. They can be called crazy creations."

"You're overpraising me. I'm far from it."

"You are so modest. I have never heard of a magician who can control so many wands at the same time like you."

"The magic orbs I have are completely incapable of keeping up with my wand-making skills, so I can only pile up the quantities. These are still far from my ideal finished product."

"...Even as an ally, it's scary. If they were an enemy, it would be even more dangerous."

"I'm glad you understand this."

The Blue Queen smiled, then looked at the surrounding Kumin warriors and gave orders.

"Everyone! From today on, we sign a ceasefire agreement with the Empire!"

"oh!!!!!!"

All the Kumin warriors in the settlement shouted in unison.

"I thought there would at least be some opposition."

"The decision made by the chieftain cannot be questioned. This is also the iron rule of our Kuming people. Moreover, you dared to come to our base camp with only one guard and a child, and defeated the second strongest force of our tribe. We Kuming people are a nation that knows how to respect the strong. Otherwise, we would not have survived."

"But the hatred towards the Empire will not disappear just because of my appearance, right?"

"That's right. Fighting the Imperials to the last soldier until one side is completely destroyed, I think many people have this idea. The former chief of our Kumin people was such a person. But I am not, that's all."

"..."

That being said, the Blue Queen before us most likely defeated the previous chief amidst the disagreements among the Kumin people.

As far as Hull knew, the infighting among the tribes in this area was extremely bloody.

The victorious side will purge the losing side.

No wonder the Kuming people are so united in their opinions now.

"Besides, you are not working for the Empire, are you? All you are doing is taking advantage of the Empire and climbing the ladder of power step by step."

"Cooperating with an ambitious person like you who intends to steal a country may cause the empire to decline quickly and eventually perish. This is the best revenge for us Kumin people."

"Don't worry, I won't let you down. I won't let you down either."

Hull didn't think he was a cold-blooded conspirator, at least he didn't like to use this kind of conspiracy.

He's just very good at calculating.

Of course, he would use strategy to defend himself against an opponent he could not trust. When those people at the center of the empire exiled him to the border death zone, it was destined that Hull could not coexist with them.

As for the Kuming people in front of them, at least at this stage, each of them needs an ally.

"Then let's stop with this dull business. Come on! Prepare a feast! We won't leave until we're drunk today!"

"No... I can't drink alcohol. Alcohol will deteriorate the brain's ability to think."

"I can't allow such a thing. We Kumin people only drink with friends. Are you going to refuse our friendship?"

"Goliath, I'll leave this to you."

"Heer, are you going to let me get so many people drunk by myself? This is too much!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't Ling here too?"

"He Er, you are talking nonsense. I am just a child. How can I drink?"

"I've been doing all the hard work so far, so you guys should at least play a role. At least have fun drinking with our Kuming friends."

"Wow! I really can't stand it anymore, Queen, please give the order to get rid of this public enemy of the children! Please!"

Ling fell to the Blue Queen's feet and glared back at Heer like a cat.

Queen Bashiya just smiled and stroked the child's head.

"Hahahaha, this child is really cute. Is she your daughter?"

"No, I was impressed by her intelligence and took her in as my apprentice. She and I are in a teacher-student relationship."

"By the way, regarding the subsequent transactions, we will send the merchant Nandar to actually take over, and Ling will assist in pricing and negotiations."

"You're going to give such an important task to a kid like this?"

"Ling is a very smart child, and I also want her to gain more business experience. Please, Queen, give her strict guidance when the time comes."

"I see. Since she's favored by you, she must be no ordinary girl... You must have brought her here for another purpose."

"So...so scary. Your Majesty, could you please stop looking at me with such a terrifying look? My little heart can't take it."

"Queen Basiya, don't be fooled by Ling's timid attitude. She is the best actress I have ever seen. And, despite her current state, I bet that even if you put the tip of your sword against her throat like you did to me, she would not feel afraid."

"Ha! Stop it! You've been fanning the flames!"

"Hahahaha, you two are so funny. Let's not talk about this now. Let's all raise our glasses. Hull, you have to drink too. If you refuse, I will revoke the armistice agreement or something."

"Ugh..."

Faced with the queen's unrestrained laughter, Hull could only sigh silently and then pick up the wine glass.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and the next day, Hull and his men set out back to the fortress with the armistice agreement signed by Queen Basia.
