Vol 6 Chapter 18: Palace Mages

"Your Majesty, there are so many big people attending this wedding of the Grand Duke Spark, are they too influential?"
Beside Roland, a middle-aged man with short hair wearing aristocratic clothes whispered beside him, his name is Anthony, a cousin of Roland, with the title of a court marquis, and Roland's court interior officer.
"About half of the wealth of the entire God Abandoned Land is in Spark City. Almost every city and every power has business dealings with the Magic Council. Of course, their influence is huge." Roland said naturally.
"Your Majesty, don't you think they are a bit too much? The limelight of this city has overwhelmed the royal capital. If this continues, maybe in the Cuin Kingdom, you only know Spark City but not Acuin City. The speaker of the Magic Council, I don't know your Majesty." Anthony said a little excitedly.
"Marquis Anthony, this is not a question you should consider. You just need to do your own things well, don't try to influence my thoughts, the next time, you don't need to stay in this position." Roland downplayed Speaking to Anthony, Anthony's face was covered with cold sweat and bowed his head back.
After he left, Roland fell into contemplation. Although he would not change his view of Horn because of Anthony's few words, but as Anthony said, the Magic Council is now a bit too powerful.
Five years ago, ten cities could be annexed silently, but at that time the Magic Council did not have many masters. Only Horn was the top combat power, so Roland did not regard the Magic Council as a threat.
But when he came to the Magic Council this time, he found that the overall strength of the Magic Council was more than that of five years ago. The number of masters was also much greater than before, and Horn himself was obviously stronger than before.
The Magic Council is still unable to pose a threat to his royal power, but if it develops at this rate, one day the Magic Council will grow to a level that threatens the Akouin family.
So should he continue to win over the Magic Council, or take precautions against the Magic Council now. The potential displayed by the Magic Council completely exceeded Roland's expectations, which made him somewhat wondering how to deal with it.
The king should have the ability to control all the forces in the territory, but now the development of the magic council is obviously beyond his control.
Just as Roland was thinking, Anthony walked in again and bowed to Roland and said, "Your Majesty, Grand Duke Xinghuo, please."
"The newlyweds will come out to handle affairs the next day. Our Grand Duke Spark is very diligent. Let him come in." Roland teased twice.
Horn walked in, and after bowing to Roland, Horn sat opposite Roland. Anthony put some wine on the table between the two of them, and the two talked while drinking.
"Your Majesty, I am really flattered to be able to attend my wedding in person. If I knew you were coming, I should have made you a witness."
"You have made a great contribution to the kingdom. Thanks to you, the whole kingdom has become much richer than before. Of course, I have to come here personally for your lifelong events. How about that, the unicorn is still satisfied." Roland Xiao He took a sip of wine and said, choosing the unicorn cub as a gift, he also thought carefully, because there were not many gifts that would make Horne dazzle.
"I really didn't expect that you would give me such an expensive gift. Annie likes it very much. Thank you, your majesty. You should have other things to tell me when you come here in person." Horn didn't believe that Roland came here in person just for Give gifts.
"Yes, I do have something to ask for your opinion." Roland put the transparent wine glass in his hand on the table and said.
Horn was stunned for a moment. Roland is now the king of the Abandoned Land. What does he need Horn's advice? "Just tell me what you want to do, and I will definitely support it."
"For so many years, I have seen your magician turn decay into magic many times and create something that can be called miracle. Magician is indeed very powerful, so I also want some magician." Roland said slowly, the corner of his eyes Yu Guang was watching Horn’s reaction.
"What do you mean by wanting some magicians? Do you want me to give you some magicians from the Magic Council?" Horn's tone became cold. If Roland was here to dig the wall, then Horn would be reluctant. , It is absolutely impossible for him to directly give Roland the magician who has joined the council.
"That's why I need to ask for your opinion, but it's slightly different from what you think." Roland still smiled and said: "I mean, I also want to fund the establishment of an organization of magic wizards by the Acuin royal family. The name is the palace wizard group.
I don’t want to ask people directly from you. Forcibly asking people from the nobles will sweep the royal family’s prestige. It's an authority~EbookFREE.me~ I want you to advise you on how to establish my court mage group. "
"Your idea is feasible." Horn heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he is not focusing on the wizards of the Magic Council, he can say anything, "Your Majesty does not know anything. The official council wizards recruited by our Magic Council are probably It only accounts for about one-third of all magicians. If you want to form a palace wizard group, you can recruit those magicians who have not joined the council. I will definitely not stop you."
"If I want to recruit a magician, what do I need to do?" Roland was slightly surprised when he saw Horn's consent readily. He didn't expect Horn to agree so easily. He originally thought Horn would resolutely refuse, even Yu gave him some obstacles, or made some demands with him.
After all, all magicians were trained by Horn, and even if you didn't find the magicians who joined the Magic Council, recruiting other magicians would be regarded as digging the wall from Horn.
In fact, Roland did not know anything. As long as Horn ensured that a group of outstanding magicians would join the Magic Council, and that the Magic Council had always maintained the leading position in magic technology, he had mastered the magician level assessment and the trading power of magic coins, etc. Can make the status of the Magic Council unshakable.
As for the remaining magicians with slightly worse qualifications, Horn did not choose to recruit them all into the Magic Council.
One is because there is not much value and poor management.
The second is that we don't want all the magicians to gather around the magic council, but to spread the branches and leaves throughout Ceylon, forming a unique magic civilization.
The third reason is that only relying on the Magic Council cannot give all magicians the best conditions for development. They can only give priority to the best group of magicians. If other magicians can find other channels to make themselves stronger, it is naturally the best.
