Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Blainey did not mention her second brother too much, because she knew very well that good-for-nothing character had little chance of surviving in such an environment.

Therefore, she only introduced her mentor to me and hoped to find a suitable position for him. As for the future, it all depends on his own luck.

In the imperial court, a silent struggle has begun. The new emperor must withstand this test in order to gain a firm foothold.

In this situation, the simplest approach is to make concessions and compromise with the ministers, but the new king is unwilling to do so. Instead, he wants to eradicate these useless forces himself.

In addition, the military expenses paid to the Mercenary Association were also a huge expense, so they had to start with some big families and obtain funds through house confiscation. It was obviously not what the new emperor wanted to let the royal family pay out of their own pockets...

However, asking Blainey to come up with ideas to solve the talent problem is undoubtedly a demanding task for her, and she simply cannot do it. But if she is just asked to donate money, it will not be a difficult task.

"Okay, you are still young and you can't recognize talents that are useful to the court. I, even when recalling these nobles, feel that they are useless. What can you do?"

Blaney smiled and said, "My king wants to make use of the children of commoners. They have no backing and the only one they can rely on is Your Majesty, so it is easy for them to gain loyalty. If these people are reused and quickly turn to the big families, we will send them to remote areas for "training" and let them die in the mountains for the rest of their lives. My king will always gain something through the process of sifting the sand with the waves. The nobles all have their own interests to take care of and are not suitable for holding power, so try to replace them all with people without aristocratic backgrounds."

"Baron Rossi is right. Nobles can no longer come to the court to pursue fame and fortune, as they are indifferent to national affairs. Yes, we should mobilize the children of common people, but they will conflict with the big families..."

Blaney: "With the Imperial Guards in hand, my king will give power to civilian disciples, let them attack each other and get rid of those nobles. The civilian ministers will not be granted land or titles, but only wealth and honor. Officials will be transferred every three years and replaced every five years, and they will never be allowed to form an alliance. This will ensure that power is always in the hands of my king, and great things can be accomplished."

"Yes, I seem to have some ideas. All the students in this war academy are literate and know martial arts, and 40% of them are children of civilians, which is enough."

At this point, the new king's eyes lit up. The War College was the officer school of the Royal Guards. The talents inside were all elites from all over the country. These students would be just right to be put to use.

Blaney said seriously: "Your Majesty, please take care. This action may offend the powerful and it will be very dangerous in the future. Throughout history, when the nobles work together, the royal family will be defeated. I hope Your Majesty will not act too hastily and proceed slowly. I don't understand the complicated struggles in the court and can't help much. I stand on your side and hope that the empire can get rid of the old and bring in the new, the state machinery will be completely renewed, and give ordinary people a happy life..."

"My dear minister, what you said is absolutely right. My king has been working hard to govern the country and wants to accomplish great things. The court's malpractices cannot be delayed. My father's death made my grandfather too sad. He wanted to kill a group of powerful officials for me, but he never had the chance. With regret, he passed away..."

After a heart-to-heart talk between Bryony and the new king, she was about to embark on a journey to the magical island. After the national mourning, there would be a turbulent change, and she didn't want to be involved in the vortex of right and wrong, so it was better to protect herself and stay away from the world.

The royal family finally couldn't hold back the increasingly weakened power. How could this generation of kings be willing to sit and wait for death? The conflict between the mercenaries and the church was exactly the opportunity he had dreamed of. The new king wanted to show his skills at this critical juncture.

After bidding farewell to the king, Bryony stepped into the teleportation array and came to the Magic Academy. Here, she exchanged magic coins for blank scrolls and various magic cloths. These coolie-type products were not produced by Magic Island at all, but were purchased from magic cloths from all over the world.

The magic cloths of the magic academy are not only affordable, but also masterpieces carefully made by apprentices. According to Vita's evaluation, these cloths are medium-quality B+ grade goods, which are perfect for making ordinary items. After all, not everything needs high-end materials.

He exchanged all the magic coins for products and took them away, earning the transfer fee. He then went to the alchemy laboratory to take away the production capacity, and counted a total of thirty-five ordinary pocket watches.

After raising the purchase price for them, production capacity has increased. There is no need to urge them to produce more. Everything happens so naturally.

"Ms. Blainey, are you going to the Magic Island?"

"We have been here for more than two months. It is already autumn and winter will come soon. You can produce some high-end models, which account for about 20%. Scarcity makes things valuable. They should be made with fine workmanship and have a more exquisite appearance..."

"Sure. When will you be back next time?"

"I don't know. This time I'll give you enough time to create. You can come back in the spring."

"Your disciple is studying animal taming in the academy and seems to be learning magical languages. Did you know that?"

Blaney was mixed with joy and worry. He really couldn't help missing Kashin. It had been more than two months since they last met. Hey! He was so fed up.

"Okay! If you produce a batch of goods, let him send it to the Magic Island. I will ask him to bring the magic coins to you. It seems that he can be of some use in furthering his studies in the academy here."

"Of course. Miss Blainey is very busy with her work, so it would be very appropriate for me to let my disciple run errands for you. We have an idea."

"Okay, I won't disturb your work. Next time I will make a batch of fine products that will highlight its noble and extraordinary nature."

Blaney was going to Kashen's address, but soon turned back on his wolf.

After arriving at the residence, I rang the doorbell, but no one answered for a long time. I looked at the time and thought to myself: "Maybe he went out to eat. This guy is still obsessed with the animal taming profession."

He was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard area, and about ten minutes later, Kashin appeared in the distance riding a silver wolf.

When Kashen saw Miss Blainey coming, he quickened his pace and ran over, jumped off the Silver Wolf, saluted as a disciple and said, "Greetings, Master! Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I'm going back to Magic Island today. I knew you came to the academy for further studies, so I came to see you. Are you used to it? How long have you been here?"

"I have been here for ten days and have almost four language classes every day. If I am not proficient in the language, the animal trainer will not teach me, so..."

The two went to Kashen's courtyard to sit for a while. He placed the silver wolf in the courtyard and took out small magical beasts for it to eat. This treatment was in line with the silver wolf's preferences. The academy had the conditions to allow it to eat small animals containing magical elements every meal.

He let the night owl Angie out of the cage and let her play freely in the yard. After she was done, she sat down and chatted with Bryony.

This time I'm just taking the pocket watch to open a shop on the Magic Island. The equipment customized there can be brought back next time when I have time. There's no rush to use it this time, so it doesn't matter.

Blaney said: "I'll leave a purchase list and some magic coins, and you can collect the goods here for me. Some of them need to be customized in advance, and I can make a profit from the difference by taking them to the Magic Island!"

"Yes, mentor, leave it to me, I will definitely get it done."

"Okay, your respect is to remind me to keep my distance, understand! I am focusing on business right now and have no time to think about anything else, so don't worry."

In fact, Blainey was filled with remorse and resentment, but he just couldn't express it. It was obvious that Kashen was deeply in love with Tan Aili, and there was no way he could change his mind.
