Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology
Chapter 29: Meeting the Old King Again
After chatting at the table until the night, the three of them finally reached a consensus and looked after each other. When leaving, Blainey paid the bill in advance and said goodbye. Blainey had other things to do.
They are indeed low-level magicians who have failed to make a fortune from learning to refine medicine, and can only make a living by taking orders from the association. This requires talent, willingness to do experiments, and developing a few new medicines to have a chance to escape the predicament of cultivation.
The initial investment required to research medicines is not something that ordinary magicians can afford, so refining medicine may not necessarily make you rich. Moreover, alchemists are not of high level and cannot receive high-profit orders.
Even if you have a high level of rank but don’t have connections, you won’t get any orders.
Blaney is well aware of this. In short, it is very difficult for ordinary magicians to do anything.
The next day at noon, Blainey went to the palace again, this time not to meet the emperor in person, but to have a private meeting. It didn't matter anyway, so he might as well try his luck.
When the guard went to report, Foreigner was walking in the garden. Baron Bryony Rossi asked to see him, and he soon remembered that it was the beautiful female magician he had met a few days ago.
"Okay, since you have nothing to do, let her come to the garden! Someone, prepare the best coffee and pastries."
We returned to the flower viewing pavilion and waited. After about ten minutes, Miss Blainey was brought into the pavilion.
Perform the standard etiquette between the emperor and his subjects: "Long live our king!"
"No need to be so polite. The matter of the family totem has been prepared. What else do you want to say, my dear?"
"It has been done. I came to the palace only to thank my king. Secondly, I need your Majesty's help with something, so..."
The king was afraid to mention the matter of arranging a lucrative position, as he was powerless to do anything. If it really involved this matter, he could only tell the truth and advise the girl not to act rashly, as she would suffer losses if her interests were at stake.
So he asked cautiously: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. I am happy to help..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. When I went to the border army for training, I suddenly found that I was short of top-level Warcraft mounts and reconnaissance pets. I wonder if Your Majesty has any way to get them. Don't worry, I will pay for them, not give them away for free. I just need Your Majesty to provide some clues..."
When I heard about this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't asking for a backdoor, it would be fine.
"Oh, I don't know anything about this either. How about asking the court magician..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. They must know that I need a pet above S level. The higher the grade, the better."
After someone from abroad passed on the message, he invited Blainey to have coffee. When he saw the exquisite palace pastries, he couldn't help but get excited...
Crystal hibiscus cake, caramel pudding, chocolate mousse and other things, only aristocratic families have the leisure time to organize manpower to make them, and the royal family is even more particular about it...
"Miss Magician, tell me the truth, do you want a territory? It conflicts with your practice, and governing a territory is very troublesome..."
While eating hibiscus cake, Brainy said: "The territory can hire capable people to manage it. Even if I practice cultivation, will the baron salary given to me by the empire be enough? My family also has to support hundreds of thousands of people and cannot endlessly support me. My parents paid a huge price to support me to graduate from the magic academy, so I have to walk the future path by myself, and obtaining a territory seems to be the first step!"
"The empire cannot afford to support all magicians. Giving them honorary baron treatment is equivalent to supporting one magician with the expenses of one thousand civilian households. However, the prices in the magic world... I know this well, so it affects the success rate of magicians. However, the border line needs the magician group to grow stronger and guard the border!"
"Your Majesty, there is one thing that is unclear. The Church of Light is powerful, but why doesn't it assume national defense obligations? Ordinary knights are no match for them."
"Ms. Britney, the Church of Light is a world religion. They have no homeland and are governed by the Holy See, so their military force is only used to defend religious interests. Therefore, I have no right to order them around, nor can I offend them."
"This is not right. The believers are your Majesty's subjects. Why should they be loyal to the Holy See? There is religion but no country? They also have to pay taxes to churches everywhere, which is totally not conducive to the rule of the empire."
The old emperor's face turned pale: "Of course, our ancestors did not like the Church of Light, but they had to convert to it. If there is any disloyalty, the Church of Light will declare the country a heresy. For example, if the king is the reincarnation of the devil, then all countries will raise their armies to attack. This... who can bear it?"
"It's obvious that they are taking advantage of other countries and still asking them to pay taxes. Your Majesty, do you have any way to deal with them?"
"Hey, little girl, do you want to touch them? You'd better not do anything rash. Even the Imperial Guards are afraid of their military power."
"Your Majesty, when I am short of money I will think of the church and the paladins, so if I want to take action, can Your Majesty ensure that the case cannot be solved?"
"Haha, interesting. You don't want to find a way to make money, but want to rob money? Your family has been doing business for generations and the Knights have already fallen below the first-level earl standard. With your family's level of military strength, why are you still thinking about robbery?"
Blayney: "Doing business? My family just relies on the caravan to make a profit, which is too slow. I have looked down on the family business since I was a child. When I go to the southern border, I will first deal with the paladins of the enemy country and earn enough capital to start my own business group. Don't worry, Your Majesty, after the success, the territory will pay more taxes..."
The old emperor was quite happy. It was rare for such a young man to dare to challenge the church. First of all, the magician believed in natural gods and did not believe in the Church of Light. Secondly, his family did not believe in religion, which was why such a talent could appear.
In today's empire, more than 90% of the people believe in the Church of Light. If the royal family goes against the church, it will easily be overthrown by the church...
"Child, the case will definitely be solved. As long as you take action, there will be no case that cannot be solved. As a magician, you should not act rashly, or you will implicate your family. I do not have the final say in the empire. In most areas, I am just a mascot and cannot make decisions! I feel the same way as you. I want to kill them a thousand times. With their existence, our people will not have a good life! The empire cannot become truly prosperous and strong."
"It is enough for my king to say this. I have a friend who is a hunter. I brought him from the mountains to the land of human civilization. He could no longer hunt wild beasts freely. So during his journey, he heard about the various rules of the human world. He said that the most worthwhile people to hunt are paladins, because they are the richest. Paladins are like the most ferocious beasts, and their fur is the most precious. Inspired by him, I also think that robbing churches is the fastest way to get rich..."
"Haha, your friend is very interesting, maybe it's the hunter instinct. If the young people want to do it, I am happy to see it. Whoever actively investigates the case, I will find a way to deal with him. You really have to be careful, if you are caught, no one can save you!"
"Thank you, King, for telling me about the twists and turns. I never thought that my king has no real power, and even the throne is not comfortable, but rather sitting on pins and needles..."
"Child, I am a mascot in some things, and my usual words and actions are not pleasant..."
After chatting for more than an hour, the king was in high spirits. The young lady of the noble family wanted to practice cultivation, but she actually wanted to accumulate wealth by robbing. It was exciting to hear...
There was news that the Royal Magical Beast Base had S S+ grade owl pet eggs in stock. S S S wolf cubs, authenticated by the court magician, could not be wrong.
"Haha, little girl, you're lucky. The mount and pet you want are in stock. They were originally treasures awarded to meritorious magicians. I like you, so I will give you these two things. I hope you can achieve great things."
"It is better to pay instead of receiving my king's reward. I have not done anything yet and I feel unworthy to accept it. The royal family has a profound heritage and such a scarce item can be obtained with just a word from your majesty. Next time if I need something, I can ask your majesty again, so I can accept it with peace of mind only after paying the money."
After some refusal, the king accepted 200,000 magic coins, saying it would not be too late to pay him back when he had money. Deep down, he didn't want to take the money, but he wanted to support the king with this chess piece to see how it goes.
Whether she can deal with the Church of Light, I will be happy to see it happen. It's just a high-quality pet, not worth mentioning.
