Chapter 602
After talking to Lucian, Loren immediately set off for the wizard tower of the wizard association.
Although the structure of the wizard association in front of us is still loose, it has begun to change gradually...The apprentices in the association are no longer the hard work of tutors, but accept unified teaching and basic courses; all local Regardless of whether the wizard is willing to work for the association, he must register his identity, otherwise he will not be able to get cheap discounts at the alchemy workshop and library under the name of the association.
After becoming a full member, the wizards who have received more research and funding "privileges" must work for the association-regularly serve as tutors, research courses must be approved, and apprentices are not important links Participation, there are three days of non-association every ten days...and so on, basically similar to many academies under the name of the wizard tower.
According to Loren’s idea, of course he wanted to build his first force into a close united and even quasi-armed group level; but considering the sadly loose organization traditions of the wizards, he could only Hope is placed on the next generation...
Naturally, such "reform" capital investment is inevitable. With the poor hematopoiesis level of the Association itself, it can't even support itself... Fortunately, Loren still has his childhood. The gold bond that Yod won in his hands finally survived the first phase of investment.
Although Eboden’s "invasion" made the Chamber of Commerce credibility turbulent, it is precisely because of this that they are now more eager to maintain stability, even if Loren directly took out 300 million bonds to cash out, Old Luo Jie will only grit his teeth and give it to himself.
But everything started to get better after the very beginning...The Chamber of Commerce has signed a "long-term contract" with the association. Without interfering in the internal affairs of the association, funds, materials and even intelligence are all It can be provided for a fee at a very low cost.
As long as Loren Torino is the president of the wizard association, this contract will last forever; at the same time, the association can continue to improve its own hematopoietic function and find ways to merge with other count-led associations to grow expansion.
Wizards with too much independence and lack of organization can only become a "Academy" level when they unite with the region as the center, can they become a force that will not be ignored and oppressive, and exert their own influence on the local area. force.
The best examples are the Imperial Family wizard Academy of Imperial Capital and the Furnace Academy of Forge Town-both are Peak’s alchemist academies. The former is a force that cannot be ignored by Imperial Capital; the latter is just a Trifling, the controller of the town, bowed his head to the Prince of East Sackland.
Passing through the hall on the first floor of the wizard tower, a group of apprentices are doing final adjustments on the test bench under the guidance of the instructor, trembling with fear amidst the instructor’s raps; and in the courtyard outside, a few A rookie who is studying spell studies is sitting around a scarecrow target, practicing simple low-level spells...
For some reason, Loren's heart is suddenly filled with emotion, and even a kind of pride from the heart And satisfaction is emerging continuously.
They are naive, innocent, and mediocre innate talent. They can't see any aptitude... But after a year, three quarters of them will become qualified wizards, one tenth to twenty tenths. One can even get the recognition of the nine-pointed star wizard tower.
And I am their president, who gave them this infinite opportunity...
Thinking about this, Loren suddenly understood a little bit about Peter Dean of Wimpal Academy. , Why do you value the Academy’s apprentices so much.

"We found these hallucinogens in a hotel, and a few wandering wizards packed one The room was used as a temporary laboratory and was caught upright.” Standing in front of the black hair wizard and the Steward of the Scarlet Blood Castle, Vice-President Rams opened the mouth and said respectfully, and his overly humble appearance even made Charles slightly confused. eyebrow.
But for Rams, he would rather do this than dare to neglect a little——Loren Torino is currently the sponsor of the association and the chairman he serves, Charles is a cron of count...these two He can't afford to offend anyone.
"How did you catch it?"
"It's very easy... Thanks to the new regulations set by President Loren, the wizards of the Scarlet Blood Castle must be registered, otherwise the association The alchemy workshop under his name can’t get a discount.” Facing Steward’s question, Rams bowed and replied:
“In alchemy, there are rules and regulations for low-level alchemy items, as long as Knowing what the material is, you can roughly judge the other person's purpose-as long as you know who it is and buy those things, you can find their clues."
Perceive Charles's gaze, black hair The wizard shrugged, opening the mouth and said casually: "What do they want these outdated hallucinogens for?"
"Uh...mainly sold to parties and Sand Dragon organizations, in the city The nobles are willing to spend a lot of money on these potions, but they are only the ones that have little effect and can only produce faint hallucinations."
"oh?" Loren raised his eyebrows, just as Ramsay explained. Steward's expression on the side is obviously something wrong:
"What about the real potion?"
"The real hallucinogen should be..."
"It's okay!"
Charles interrupted Steward with his abrupt opening, and smiled and looked towards the somewhat nervous Vice-President: "I will be responsible for the information next, you still Go ahead and do your own business first."
Rahms was taken aback for a moment, then immediately turned around and left, and almost forgot to close the door in a hurry.
Looking at the obviously abnormal steward, the black hair wizard who deliberately didn't click on it, sat aside and waited quietly for the other party to explain.
"In the past few months, an organization that worships ancient beliefs has appeared in the Scarlet Blood Castle...or it’s okay to call it a “heretical sect”." With a soft sigh, Charles organized the language. Slowly opened the mouth and said: "They often hold rallies and collude with some wandering wizards from other places, but it is only during this period that they are so active."
"Ancient beliefs?" Loren I vaguely remembered the last words of the dead red-clothed night watchman...good wine as blood.
Indeed, it sounds like a kind of prayer.
"Byrn is a country with a long history, not inferior to the people of Sacraments." Steward explained gently, but there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Like all duchy, we also had My own...ancient legend, I worshipped certain powerful beings."
"Of course, after accepting the doctrine of the Holy Cross, these were all banned, and the Knights' vows to preach with swords were also flattened. All the traces of the Evil God in Byrne, but the story is also part of the tradition, naturally there are many handed down, and the rhyme chewed by later generations."
Loren eyebrows raised, I feel that it is about to come to the point. NS.
"A Knight, she has many names-Elian, Chino, Ada, Brunhild... in Byrne’s 13 counts, she has nothing common with Each other, but the image is very unified; wearing armor, wielding a lance decorated with a swallowtail flag and a big sword that can only be held by both hands, driving the dark horse galloping across the sky and winning one glorious victory after another."
"She?"
"Yes, she is a Dame, or...War Goddess." Charles nodded: "In the legend of Byrne, the breeze of the day and the mist of midnight are both It is her incarnation, and will bless all the dignified Knights who are facing the enemy, and the warriors who stand against the water to win the final victory;"
"It sounds like it's pretty good." Loren laughed: "But if both Is it a dignified duel, or a villain who is about to be defeated has decided to fight to the death?"
"Well, there are many similar stories in Byrne." Charles said, "It's long ago. Guessing that you would ask the expression, nodded gently:
"Because Brunhild advocates justice and courage, her legends often end in tragedy—Knight with all faiths The villain who died from exhaustion, or decided to fight to death, was blessed and killed the hero who should have defeated him...and so on."
Uh...why it feels like this is...stupid and cute. .
"It is not just the Scarlet Blood Castle. There are actually many traditional groups and gatherings in Bayern, but the'heretical sect' is another matter."
Charles turned around, his eyes sharp:
"The most important thing is that any existence that threatens count...must be destroyed!"
