Mage? Spell Engineer!

"Someone is following you!" Necker, who was halfway through drinking tea, realized something was wrong. He always felt like there were more than one eyes sweeping over him, looking back and forth all over his body.

Necker slapped the money on the table and stood up. Sure enough, two men dressed like sans-culottes followed behind him.

This is the most prosperous street in the royal capital. How can any sans-culottes dare to sit in the teahouse here and spend money!

Necker thanked the tracker for his poor business skills and summoned a cab.

"Master, go to the Istani Embassy."

However, while it is easy to take a taxi in the bustling streets, it also means that the roads are crowded and busy, and the horse-drawn carriages are not fast. When they see that the target they are following has the intention of running away, the plainclothes security team members immediately follow them, and they are about to catch up with them as they trot along.

The car turned a corner and paused for a moment to avoid the oncoming vehicle, but was successfully intercepted by security team members.

"Apprehend the fugitive, please cooperate!" However, there was only a coat and felt hat left in the carriage, as well as a handful of scattered copper plates as fare.

The Sheriff grabbed the coat and the coin and asked the coachman: "Where has he gone?"

"Let me in, let me in!" Panting, Necker broke into the Star Torch Tower and now he had taken off his fake beard. After his attempt to go to the embassy failed, he immediately thought of a dark area under the lamp that His Majesty the King could not reach, and it was nearby.

The waiter was about to expel the visitor: "Sir, we are not open to the public now."

"Cano is in there, right? Give this to him. You are not allowed to look at it." Necker folded his business card and handed it to the waiter. He didn't even have time to change the title on it, which still read "Palace Treasurer".

"No, please come in, sir." Kano's voice sounded, and the waiter at the door of the restaurant made way for Necker.

"Nice to meet you." Cano met the fallen former minister over brunch: "According to the information I got, Charlie wants to invite you back."

"If I go back now, my destination can only be His Majesty's dark prison, but given time, what awaits me will be my old office and everything."

"You still want to come back?" Necker's idea shocked Cano and he almost choked on his table wine.

"Public opinion!" Necker held up his hands: "You should have seen the public opinion caused by my report. My background makes people feel close to ordinary people and businessmen. Read the current newspapers and listen to the rumors in the teahouses. Everyone Everyone regards me as a hero! Once the three-level meeting is convened, only my return to office can quell the resentment of the third estate. Even if Charles XVI does not realize this, I believe the prime minister will understand."

"The hero who bankrupted countless people?" Cano, who did not speculate, did not suffer much loss, and his assets were not limited to Valois. Otherwise, he would probably have taught the man in front of him a lesson.

"It wasn't me! The first thing that triggered everything was Valan, which came from the magic guild. There was also the independent proposal of the currency issuance agency. Master Kano, every time you vote for me, you ruin everything for me.

"You protected that damn boy, right? Where is he? I want to see him and seek the same protection from you as him. Once I return to my seat, I will repay you and the Magic Guild with all my strength." If I press Rorschach's words commented that the former finance minister wanted to eat soft food hard.

Kano didn't care about the rude attitude. He said while eating: "I was not expecting that Valan and the mining company were involved." Kano's answer was also beyond Necker's expectation. He used and protected Valan. , proposed independent supervision of monetary institutions are all related to the person behind Kano.

"Let me call him over for you. He is in the research building below." Kano suddenly wanted to see Rorschach's performance towards the minister.

After a while, Necker, who had finished eating a piece of bread, came to the "culprit" mentioned by the Archmage - Rorschach.

This is a very young boy, reminiscent of the hateful Valan. He is holding a stack of documents, with a look of confusion and innocence on his face.

"Teacher, are you looking for me? And Mr. Necker? You didn't defect abroad? You can hide in the embassy if you can't."

"."How did you know that I wanted to stay temporarily at the Istani Embassy? From this sentence, Necker believed Kano's words. The guy in front of him was indeed a kid who took risks!

Rorschach ignored the constipated expression and handed the document to Cano: "Phillip and Simon's papers have been revised. Can you take a look?"

"If you think it's okay, just let them hand it in, as long as there are no formatting errors." Kano didn't bother to look at the apprentice's academic rubbish, even though it was high-quality academic rubbish guided by Rorschach.

"good."

At this point, the attention of the two mages finally returned to the visitors. Necker asked the intermediate mage: "Where is Valan?"

"It's not here anyway." Rorschach raised his eyebrows, feeling unhappy with Necker's attitude. How dare you do that on the mage's territory when you're already in despair? Who gave you the courage? He sat down with Master Kano and confronted Necker.

Necker could only accept the reality that Valan escaped: "That ungrateful gambling dog is really cheap. But I will not leave Valois or the royal capital! Please provide me with safe shelter."

When Rorschach saw Kano enter the eating and watching mode, he probably gave himself the control of the conversation: "What's in it for us?"

"New currency issuing agency! The thing currently tentatively called the Mint is being developed by Grand Duke Merovingian and the nobles and big bankers. When you first proposed it, you probably didn't want to see the church and guilds being completely disbanded, right? ?But even if you participate, you still need the guidance of professionals."

"Professional. You?"

"Yes, it's me!"

Rorschach shook his head and took the bread basket that Necker had pulled back to Kano: "No, you are wrong, Mr. Necker, we were not separated." He took out a paper in his hand: "Kano Master No’s apprentice, his full name is Philippe de Merowengard. We can talk directly to the manager.”

"You, you have already passed."

Before the meeting of dignitaries, Kano was worried that the proposal for the new currency would not be passed at the meeting (in fact, strictly speaking, every proposal was rejected), so he first discussed it with Mero Wenjia. Whether there was a speech at the meeting, he would Connecting with others led to the independence of the minting power.

Damn it, damn it. Necker regretted that he should have visited the Magic Guild as soon as the mining company collapsed, but at that time he was blinded by anger.

"But you are not entirely wrong. Our guild really needs the guidance of professionals, and you happen to be a financial talent."

Although the entire kingdom is in turmoil due to the rapid devaluation of gold, most of the enterprises affiliated to the magic guild are engaged in manufacturing, and the orders from the mages are still there. As long as the guild links the mainland branches to provide them with a certain amount of metal currency, can maintain normal operation.

Kano was inspired by Rorschach's trip to Byrne. He believed that it was necessary to change the vague power and responsibility relationship and property rights between mages, guilds and subordinate enterprises, allowing guilds/magic towers to register enterprises, and to deal with inward-looking magic guild trading companies. Participate in stock holdings, influence the kingdom's monetary policy externally, and integrate the productive forces controlled by the magic guilds in Valois.

Necker could serve as a counselor and would be worthy of asylum.
