Chapter 597 Sheila's Hope of Promotion
Having held a military meeting for most of the day, Claude, who did not return to Coventry Manor until late at night, felt exhausted and dizzy. Sheila, who had been informed of his return, had not slept, and had been sitting in the hall waiting for him. Seeing Claude getting off the carriage, Sheila greeted him and kissed him. This time Claude's expedition to the Hicks Kingdom, Sheila did not follow, and the two of them had been missing for almost a year and a half. After a long absence, Sheila is very excited.
"My dear, why are you so happy today?" Crowd was a little weird, finding that Sheila seemed too enthusiastic and excited.
When Claude regained some spirits after taking a hot bath, and Sheila served him with prepared food for him to enjoy a great meal, happy Sheila finally explained why she was so happy: " Claude, do you know that in the magic books you have sent from the Hicks family, I found information about the promotion of magicians ... "
Claude finally understood why Sheila was so happy. She wanted to find someone to share her findings, and this secret could only be told to Claude. Now is the end of the French era. The once-magnificent and magical civilization of this world has become a fading history and folklore. Even if you can still learn magic knowledge and become a magician, no matter you are talented or ordinary, there is a ceiling on your head. The five-ring mage is the ultimate apex of all magicians.
After Claude had just crossed the world and was exposed to magic, his biggest dream was to become a magician, carefree and at ease. But the wheel of destiny is not deflected by human will, and by now Claude has taken a completely different path from his childhood dream. Even after reuniting with Sheila in these years, under the supervision of Sheila, he can be regarded as a procrastination and finally promoted to become a five ring mage. But he has become accustomed to military career, magic has become an unnecessary thing for him, and he usually does not use magic ...
Among the magicians that Claude knew, his sister Anna is now focusing on raising the pair of dragons and phoenixes left by her son and brother Brovik, and in her spare time, she resumes her research on pharmacy. Master Byrd and Mrs. Sonia are also rune mages, but they use magic in experiments that interest them. Master Byrd studies mechanical power, and Mrs. Sonia develops various weapons and ammunition.
Although his younger brother Browick's magical talent is not as good as Claude, he becomes a five-ring mage faster than Claude. It's just that Claude doesn't know how to define his younger brother Blovic, because he uses magic in combat and uses spells to assist his special operations, which can be called an alternative modern combat mage. As for Claude, in a high position, he didn't know where the spells he would apply, and he didn't know how long the magic experiment had been done. For him now, there is no difference whether there is a spell ...
Only Sheila is a pure magician who has been pursuing magical knowledge and progress. She always wanted to go one step further, breaking the imprisonment of the Master of the Five Rings and being promoted to be a master mage. At that time, her mother also abandoned the young Sheila for this purpose and partnered with other magicians to dig magic relics. She hoped to find a way to promote the magician and was unfortunately killed. When Sheila grew up, she also searched for the magical ruins and found the mother's body, but the magical ruins did not have what she wanted.
Although the tormented Sheila later met with Claude in the Dominion, Claude knew exactly what Sheila desired. Fortunately, even if Claude could not help her in terms of magic, he went out to battle, siege the city, and was invincible. He could still bring Sheila many unexpected surprises from the loot.
For example, the Nasiri Kingdom that he perished, the King of Hicks King King Saint-Hiprian, the books and materials of magic knowledge collected by the Nasri and Hicks families for hundreds of years, and many precious magics The classics fell into his hands.
For Sheila, the books and materials brought back by Claude's campaign greatly increased her knowledge and knowledge of magic and opened her eyes. In particular, many of the precious magic books are left over from the age of magic civilization, and any one can make a magician mad. It is a pity that these magical books are locked by the two royal families in the palace, and the sky is not visible, and they have not fallen into the hands of the magicians who really need them ...
Sheila discovered the detailed information about the promotion of the magician from a magic book collected by the Hicks royal family. After reading the information, she realized that in the period of the end of the magic civilization, she knew how to advance to the magic of the magician There are many teachers. The difficulty is that they cannot collect the huge magical materials and resources required for promotion.
At that time, the magical materials and some magical mineral resources were basically controlled and monopolized by those magical families, and there was no place for ordinary mages to collect. So any accidental emergence and discovery of magical resources or materials, there will be countless competitors, and it is likely to start **** assassinations and battles until the ultimate winner appears ...
Sheila is amazed by the scarcity and fierce competition of magic resources and materials in the end of the magical civilization recorded in the magical books, but she is more concerned about the knowledge, procedures and steps about the promotion of magicians contained in the magical books. There are also the magical resources and materials needed for that huge promotion. What makes her happy is that although thousands of years have passed, although many magical resources and materials have been artificially or unknowingly changed their names, there are detailed records and verification methods of these magical materials and resources in this book of magic. ....
While Claude was eating and drinking, Bian (⊙v⊙) nodded in response to Sheila ’s remarks, Sheila took out a dozen chapters to record the list of magic materials and resources needed for the wizard to advance. These dozen papers are more than two meters long.
Claude stared at Sheila with a shocked smile, really wondering, is it necessary to be so happy, even if you know these magical materials and resources, can you collect them? Thousands of years ago, many things were gone, and they were extinct. At that time, the magician could not collect them. Now it is extravagant to want to collect them ...
Of course, Hira answered Claude's question decisively, because Claude forgot one of the most important prerequisites. At the end of the magical civilization of thousands of years ago, countless magicians were collecting the magical resources and materials needed for promotion. It is often collected throughout their poor lives, and even before they die, they do not collect all the magic materials that are sufficient for their promotion.
To give a simple example, if the magic resources and materials at the end of the magical civilization can still meet the promotion of a hundred magicians, then there are a total of 10,000 magicians collecting these things, and the collected magic materials and resources are The magicians are hidden in the back room, unknown. As a result, the one hundred copies of magical materials and resources sufficient to satisfy the promotion of the magician were collected by those magicians a little eastward and westward, and it was impossible to get together. In the end, no one wants to be promoted. This is the most fair ... .
However, because of the appearance of the musket more than 600 years ago, countless magical knowledge died out with the rise of the musket. Ordinary people in Valeya drove away those high above them with muskets, treating them as ants-like magicians, and welcomed the new oppressors happily. In fact, the expulsion of the magicians from the land of Valeo did not allow the mainland people to obtain the peace and tranquility they longed for. Instead, the next three hundred years of darkness began.
Numerous lords, large and small, used fire guns to ignite fires all over the continent. They avenged themselves, vie for territory, expanded their power, and waged war for monetary benefits, driving their young people into cannon fodder on the battlefield. The **** battle for nearly three hundred years has reduced the population of the entire Falea continent by almost two-thirds, which finally set the distribution pattern of the continents and continues to today ...
For more than six hundred years, magicians have become a taboo word in Vale's continent, and no more magicians can openly appear in front of the public. Even if the royal families of many countries are secretly linked to magicians, they are basically hidden in the dark. After all, the folk tradition of more than 600 years is that magicians are considered evil. The so-called harmless spells introduced by the Kingdom of Ovilas are only limited to a small number of people. The folks more often regard these registered magicians as It's a magician.
Times have changed, and the current Falea continent is no longer a world of magicians. Thousands of years ago, precious magical materials and resources that could cause countless magicians to compete for and kill **** people are still unanswered. Although there are a lot of wild magicians on the Fareland continent, they all hide in the wild or in the market to live in obscurity.
Many magicians do not know how to advance because of incomplete inheritance, some lack practical spells, some lack knowledge of magic materials and resources, and more because of the monopoly of magic knowledge and self-esteem of brooms and lack of communication. Magic practice went astray. Just as the knowledge that was promoted thousands of years ago is almost clear to all magicians, but now it has become an adventure that requires the cost of life to explore ...
Sheila told Claude seriously and clearly that promotion to Archmage was not a dream, because she found that many of the magical materials and resources on the list were now easy to collect. For example, during the Raiders of the Hicks Kingdom in the autonomous region, many of the things brought back from the royal library are magic materials and magic mineral resources required for promotion. It is important that these magic mineral resources have been carefully refined. A lot of trouble ...
And the material warehouse staff of the Dominion District did not understand that these things were extremely precious magical materials. They just shipped these things back to the Dominion District because they were in the library of the Hicks Royal Family. Sheila went to the warehousing department of the autonomous region to inspect these magic materials. She was surprised to find that the ingots extracted from these magic materials and resources were marked by the warehouse management personnel as pharmaceutical test materials and metal forging test addition materials ...
So Sheila immediately spent nearly 500,000 kroner in the Crowd account and bought all the magic materials and resources from the warehouse department of the Autonomous Military Command. They used it to test her sister Anna and Sonia. Madam did the test in the name of the gun metal strength test. This is a win-win deal for the warehousing department of the Autonomous Regional Command. It sold Marshal Claude as a face and vacated several warehouses. It sold out a large number of expensive and easy-to-sale expensive test materials. The military region increased its capital reserve by 500,000 kronor.
Only Claude knew to this day that he had owed another 500,000 Krona private loan debt to the Minsheng Bank of overseas, which was a big surprise for Sheila. But now that you've bought everything, that's it, especially Sheila's. Crowd has no temper. Even if he didn't have any extra cash, Crowd could pay off the loan in two or three years depending on the profits and dividends of various assets he now has.
"Dear, is it enough for you to buy this magical material worth 500,000 kronor?" Claude asked.
Sheila shook her head with regret: "Not enough, these magic materials can only be counted at most. In addition, you are wrong, this batch of magic materials and resources is not what you think is worth 500,000 kronor. If put in the underground magic market For sale, if the magician who knows the goods finds it, let alone two or three million kronor, it is a tenfold increase. Someone robbed it at five million kronor.
You do n’t know that many of these magical materials are precious materials that are very difficult to find and collect, such as the fine gold and earth crystals, which are almost extinct magic mineral resources, that is, the mineral resources such as Hicks Kingdom. Collection is only possible in development-oriented countries. These are usually precious magical items that you can't find. You can't just dig a mine.
It is mainly because the warehouse management personnel in your military region do not know the goods, and they have all been used as auxiliary materials for pharmaceutical tests and additional materials for metal forging tests. This was a big deal for me. Do you know why he marked Adamantite? The extremely hard copper alloy, the soil essence he called the earth yellow crystal block. I bought these two treasures almost for the price of potatoes ... "
Claude felt a sudden chill, and he did not blame the warehouse management staff in the autonomous region for not knowing the goods and selling gold as dirt. Those bargaining appraisers were not magicians, and it was forgiven for not knowing magic materials. Claude is only very sensitive to think that this time Sheila picked up a bargain and bought only five million gold crowns for five million precious magical materials and resources.
But the problem is that this time she purchased only enough supplies for half of her promotion. That is to say, if the other half of the magical materials and resources collected were not cheap, Crowd would have to pay nearly five million gold. The price of krona. Those precious magic materials have always been invaluable in the underground market. Not only do they cost money, they also need to spend a lot of energy to collect them.
Even if Claude now has a lot of assets on hand, there are one and two hundred thousand kronor in the account every year, but five million kronor is also a huge sum that he cannot get, which is already equivalent to the previous king of Ovilas Kingdom. The total annual income of the Kingdom during the most prosperous period of Lin Xie's administration was summed up. Last year, I heard that the tax revenue of the Kingdom was less than 1.2 million kronor a year.
You must know that Claude was not His Majesty King Frederick I. He made a confession order and obtained tens of millions of gold crowns from the nobles of the kingdom by virtue of the promotion fee and land selection fee. He felt panicked at the thought of the huge sum of five million kronor. This time he understood why so many magicians had killed a few thousand years ago in order to save some lives for some magical materials and resources. Robbed by violence.
It's just that the Autonomous Military Command has just attacked the Kingdom of Hicks. Which country can it target next? If you want to say that you do n’t want to make any progress, do n’t you want to be promoted, but seeing Sheila's full of interest, Claude couldn't say. It took me a long time to interrupt Sheila's words: "So, that, dear, how much money do you think the remaining half of the upgrade materials and magic resources need to buy?"
"Uh ..." Sheila was interrupted by Claude's meddling. She froze and looked at Crowd, frowning, and finally understood what he was talking about. "Claude, didn't you just listen to me?"
Claude nodded bitterly, saying that he was just figuring out how much money he could afford to endure the ruin of your mother-in-law, so it didn't matter what you were saying.
"Did I just say that the treasures in this batch of magic material resources I purchased from the military warehousing department are enough for three people to advance, and the remaining half of the material on this list is the quantity, not the price. Most of them are magic Materials and mineral resources are big goods. For example, white root powder is very common, and many are now considered as medicinal materials for pharmacy. These can be purchased in the market.
What is really difficult is the place needed for promotion. There must be a suitable magic tower. I am going to transform the interior of this eaves observation tower in our manor into a magic tower. It takes time and energy to redraw the runes and set up magical arrays of the entire magic tower's internal structure. So in the next three years, I will lead those low-level magicians trained by your family to rebuild this eaves observation building. Here you need to purchase a lot of magic materials to apply ...
Don't forget that we are now in the continent of Nubia, which itself produces a lot of magical materials and resources that are very rare for the continent. I have calculated that after collecting the magical materials and resources produced in the continent of Nubia, only a small part of the rest is needed for promotion. After three years of reconstruction of the magic tower, I took these family magicians to the central highlands and western wastelands of Valeya. The remaining magic materials and resources marked on the magic books were produced there ... ... "
Claude breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the other half of the magical materials and resources that the prodigal mother-in-law said needed for promotion meant quantity rather than price. He finally let go of it, so he swooped in: Well, you give me the list of magical materials and resources produced in the central highlands and western wastelands of Valeia. I'll find someone to collect them. Let me find them by myself. It's wild and not safe there ... ... "
Sheila was very enthusiastic and proactive this night, and Claude enjoyed and was tired ...
