Broad World - Chapter 345
Chapter 343 Win over
The continent of Faerun is a very serious two-level division. Ordinary people living in the city can only earn about one silver coin after a hard day’s work. Excluding all kinds of taxes, the rest is good enough to have a full stomach. But high-level spellcasters transcribe a scroll and make a bottle of potion, and they can immediately sell hundreds or even thousands of gold coins.
Such a huge gap between the rich and the poor will inevitably lead to extremely unstable social conditions. As long as there are large-scale disasters, wars, and turmoil, the bottom of the fragile pyramid structure will collapse. People who lose their minds naturally don’t dare to attack the caster with supernatural powers, but caught in the middle, the aristocratic nobles on weekdays become the best punching bag. In many countries with unstable regimes, there will be reports of large-scale civil upheavals in certain areas every once in a while, and a nobleman is killed before he can escape.
This is why Henry still refuses to relax and enjoy life even after he has a lot of wealth and land. Because if all of this is not supported by a powerful force, at best it will be just a fattened pig, and maybe one day it will attract the prying eyes of the evil forces because it is too rich.
Look at the noble representatives who are lying on the ground and crying, this is the best example. They already know very well that they have no ability to prevent disasters from happening. The Lonore family’s account books and private correspondence will become ironclad evidence and be published directly to the public. All participating families will not only become notorious, but they may also be ransacked by angry people.
Although Amn’s law expressly stipulates that no one can seize the property of others, the council has always turned a blind eye to those heinous guys. To put it bluntly, they are the best scapegoats, used to extinguish the dissatisfaction of the people, this kind of thing is no exception even in the Neverwinter City, which is claimed to be ruled by believers in the **** of justice.
The masked mage even believed that as long as the “Flying Flame” head of Balagas was released to the council, the bureaucrats would even agree to any conditions put forward by the legendary mage. We must know that thousands of people are killed by this ancient red dragon every year. Not to mention the loss of property. Most importantly, it makes the rulers lose their face, and even the public’s trust in the government drops again and again.
Now this legendary dragon was actually killed! It is foreseeable that the six-member council will inevitably spend its money. As for these guys who colluded with the Ronore family, they would definitely become victims to please Henry. Not to mention ironclad evidence, even if there is no evidence, the council can find enough evidence. After all, few of the noble butts are clean. As long as you check carefully, you will have done something illegal more or less.
Of course Lisa knew how important this dragon head was, so she took a deep breath and asked, “Let’s talk! What kind of conditions do you need to give me this important trophy, as long as it’s not too much. Too much, I can directly agree on behalf of the council.”
“First of all. You have to acknowledge the legality of my annexation of the Ronore family property and land. Secondly, my team will take risks in Amn for a while, so I hope to get unlimited spell-casting permission. Finally, and most importantly, I formally declare to protect Naria. Anyone who intends against her is equivalent to directly declaring war on me. As for these scumbags, I think the council should let them experience the majesty and justice of the law, right? ”
It can be said that Henry’s request is very simple. The first article itself was within the scope permitted by the law. The Ronore family had already been defeated, and their property should belong to the victor. The second article needs to be negotiated with the Masked Mage Union, but it seems that the problem will not be too big. As for the third article, although there is a little trouble, as long as the noble girl is protected, there should be no big problem.
Lisa considered it again and again. Finally nodded. “In my opinion, there should be no problem, but it still needs to be reported to the council. After all, some things are a bit wide-ranging.”
At this time, the masked mage also came over and bowed and asked: “Master, I don’t know if you are willing to join the masked mage guild. In this way, not only can I give you a positive answer to the second point, but also a lot Other benefits.” In his opinion, if he can win over a legendary mage to join, his status will definitely be greatly improved. After all, legendary spellcasters are so rare. There are only one or two in the entire guild.
“I need to know the rights and obligations first, if it’s not too harsh, it’s okay to join.”
Henry was not too repulsive to join the Masked Mage Union. Generally speaking, except for the ambitious guys like Hongpao Mage. Most casters are loosely organized, especially for high-level members. Not only can you recruit your subordinates honestly to do things for yourself, but you can also have an additional channel to obtain resources.
“Of course, it is my honor to explain to you.” There was a light of excitement in the two eyes of the masked mage. “Because you are a legendary mage, as long as you join, you must be the most senior member. All the material channels of the trade union will be opened for you, and you will also receive an annuity of 100,000 gold coins. You can choose your favorite apprentice at will and recruit one. A wizard group with no more than a hundred people will eventually receive a top-level masked wizard badge. It is a very powerful magic item that can add one spell slot at six, seven, and eight levels.”
“As for the obligation, when the union is in danger, you only need to join forces with several other masters to repel the invading enemy. However, this kind of thing has not happened since the establishment of the union, so it can basically be ignored. In addition, you Three apprentices must be trained every year. Don’t worry, they have all gone through systematic learning. What they lack is only experience and practical skills.”
Generally speaking, the treatment of the Masked Mage Union is quite good, but there is one thing that makes Henry a little hesitant, and that is about the apprenticeship. We must know that in this world, apprentices before becoming a formal mage are very miserable. They not only have to face all kinds of humiliation and ridicule, but also wipe laundry, clean the room, use them as guinea pigs, and even some beautiful men. Female apprentices will also become a tool for tutors to vent their desires. It can be said that their treatment is not much worse than that of slaves.
Of course, excluding those from the evil camp, most mages of the good or neutral camp do this for a reason. The purpose of this series of manual labor and insults is to keep the apprentice humble at all times, and will not easily try those magic experiments that are beyond their own ability. At the same time, they can exercise their self-restraint ability so that they will not be easily angered by the enemy in the future.
But not everyone can understand the good intentions of the tutor. Under this almost unbearable condition for ordinary people, apprentices will have two incredible changes. Some will hate their mentors more and more, and even stabbed them on certain important occasions. And the other part will have some kind of deep dependence, and even contribute to their young body when the tutor is aging and dying.
Henry has never personally brought a mage apprentice apprentice, because this is a bit outweigh the gain. You must know that he didn’t even dare to teach his own son, daughter, and sister personally. What he was afraid of was that he would not be cruel. In fact, Tailan Tier’s education method is still a bit too gentle, and if it is replaced by a stern Kelben, he will definitely not teach a rebellious mage like Merlican.
But what should come is always coming, and avoiding is not a good way to solve the problem. After serious consideration for a few minutes, Henry finally nodded. “Well, I agree to join the Masked Mage Guild. However, since I don’t have a mage tower in Am for the time being, the teaching of apprentices may have to be postponed.”
“This is not a problem at all! The Ronore family has a mage tower, although it is a bit crude and not suitable for your identity, but it is enough to teach apprentices. I will contact and let the guild send people to take it there. ”
Speaking of this, the masked mage immediately used “communication” to report the situation here. Soon, the guild headquarters located in Asi Atra reacted. While requesting to meet the new legendary mage in person, the high-level officials gathered more than 30 mages to prepare for the siege of the mage tower.
Henry also took advantage of this time to contact Shandi, and asked her to take someone over to deal with the corpse. In addition, he went to kill the remnants of the Ronore family by the way. It would be best for Robert to handle this kind of thing, but it’s not bad to let the Sorceress handle it. As a member of the chaotic and evil camp, she will certainly not show mercy to those women and children.
After setting up everything, Henry invited Lisa to ride the dragon and fly to Ascatla together, while the huge head of Balagas’ “Flying Flame” was hanging on the dragon’s claws. According to Lisa, the best publicity effect can only be achieved in such a shocking way. As for the masked mage, he had long used teleportation magic to go back and notify the relevant departments so as not to cause any misunderstandings. All the noble representatives are still in place and waiting for them and their families will be the angry people.
Sitting on the back of a dragon and flying, normal people will become very nervous. After all, this is a wild beast that can only appear in adventure stories, and only the most powerful spellcaster can make them a mount. Lisa hugged Henry’s waist tightly, and her whole body was attached to it. Since it was the midsummer season, the two of them didn’t wear much, and it didn’t take long for the body to react naturally.
Henry is a little better, after all, as a spellcaster, his self-control ability is quite strong. Except that a certain part has already begun to congest, there is basically no major reaction. But Lisa as an ordinary person is different. In this state of rapid flight, she actually had an inexplicable sense of pleasure. Not only did her body start to get hotter and hotter, she even wandered around with both hands unconsciously.
The black dragon Oroxys who had been following saw this scene and couldn’t help but grow his mouth. As a young dragon, this is simply an irresistible temptation. It even wanted to loudly remind its owner to act quickly, didn’t he see that the human female had already begun to estrus. It is a pity that Henry didn’t even move from beginning to end. Although he was “ ” soaring, he immediately lost interest when he thought that there were two male dragons next to him as spectators. (To be continued.
