The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

(Recommended background music for this chapter: "Merchants of Novigrad" Source: The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Soundtrack.)

April 1172.

His Royal Highness completed all the courses in Grade 5, learned the first illusion spell "Seven Rainbow Light", and lit up the illusion skill.

A few days later, Amavit finally learned the "Eye of True Vision" that he had been thinking about.

Marvin finished the theoretical knowledge of space magic. Although he didn't know any spells, let alone open a portal, he at least understood how to analyze the space coordinates. This is a preparation for awakening the blood of the ancients.

Seven Rainbow Light: Spray a gorgeous colorful light forward to form a cone-shaped area, in which the creatures will be shocked, blinded, or even knocked unconscious.

Eye of True Vision: Gain the ability to see through illusions, and also have a strong ability to break illusions and resist mental illusions. The specific needs to be compared with the energy level and spell strength of the illusion caster.

The 18-year-old prince is now 184cm tall, but still a little thin. This is usually the result of young people growing too fast.

It's time to look at the learning machine data.

…

After completing the established learning goals before coming to the academy, Amavit decided to go home and the plan could be implemented.

Dean Tissaya rejected the student's invitation to the May Festival parent-child event, but opened a portal to the public teleportation point in Vizima City for His Royal Highness.

Amavit led the black horse and stepped into the portal without hesitation. He is not a scum like the demon hunter who is weak even to the portal.

The scene changed, and His Royal Highness was already standing on a huge circular stone platform in Vizima.

Ever since the Brotherhood of Warlocks gained official recognition in the North, all major cities have marked out such an area and announced the teleportation coordinates to facilitate the teleportation of mages.

Only the magical desert of Cintra has always excluded mages, and their court advisors are not mages but druids.

Vizima has not changed much, from leaving in May last year to returning in April this year. Even the weather is very similar to the day I left, the sky is blue, with few clouds, floating across the sky one by one.

After His Royal Highness returned to the royal capital, he was in a good mood. He threw an Oren to the city guard, mounted the black horse and strolled along Karin Avenue towards the royal palace.

The guards at the palace gate saw the figure on the black horse from a distance. They took two steps forward uncertainly. They communicated with each other. One of them dropped the long-handled ax gun in his hand and ran inside, while the other hurriedly came up to meet him. Help the prince lead the horse.

After Amavit dismounted, he said: "Don't worry, I can wait a moment and then go in slowly."

The guards knew that His Highness the Prince actually had a good temper, but they rarely saw His Highness joking. Your Highness is in a good mood.

After bypassing the fountain pool, stepping onto the stone steps of the castle, walking through the long corridor decorated with empty plate shells, and arriving at the foyer, a group of people came from the side door.

Queen Calanthe Fiona Leanne took the lead, followed by her two sisters, followed by Alfred, the esquire, and two squires, as well as a group of ladies who looked familiar but could not name any of them. .

It seems that the mother-in-law is taking her two daughters to socialize with the ladies.

In front of outsiders, the prince's profile still needs to be laid out. Amavit held his chest and bowed: "Mother, I'm back."

The two younger sisters, Fiona and Adela, are not always competing for words like they did when they were children, and they are very dignified now.

The queen took her son's arm and looked up and down, and found that everything was indeed fine, then complained: "You have been away for a year, and you don't know how to come back early."

The prince handed the suitcase containing armor and sundries to the attendant and said, "I write letters every month. Every time I write a letter, it is more difficult than writing a paper. I don't know what to write."

The queen patted her son's arm and said, "Are you tired? Eat or rest first?"

"Mother, I sent you here. I'm not tired. I just ate at the academy." Amavit waved to his two younger sisters who were looking at each other.

The two girls jumped over like sparrows.

"You don't have to run so fast. There are no gifts this time. I asked you to come and greet His Highness the Prince."

Fiona stared at the prince with evil eyes.

Adela was more direct, punching His Royal Highness in the arm and cutting it.

"Okay, okay, I'll bully them as soon as I come back. Go change your clothes quickly. Don't dress like a mage when you get home." The queen smoothed things over.

Following Alfred, the squire, inside, the prince asked, "Where is father?"

"His Majesty is in a meeting. Let me come over and take a look first."

"Alfred, I've grown a lot taller. I'm afraid I won't be able to fit into my original clothes."

"Your Highness, the queen has already given her instructions. I have made a lot of them according to different heights. There must be something that fits."

‘Ah, this corrupt feudal era. ’ His Royal Highness was filled with joy.

Ordinary nobles don't have this kind of trouble. Their home clothes are tights and robes. It doesn’t matter if the robe is shorter, it doesn’t matter if you change into tights or not.

Amavit was different. He couldn't stand those tight pants and velvet tops at all, so he drew his own clothes and had them made by the palace tailor.

…

After working very hard to trick his two sisters away, Armavit changed his clothes honestly under the supervision of the attendant Alfred.

His Royal Highness the Prince spread out on the sofa in his room and told the attendant: "There is a sword in my luggage... Oh, yes, it is this one. This will be my sword from now on, and I need a sword stand."

In order to avoid being questioned, most of the luggage was not put into the inventory when I came back this time. Whether it is the magic package or the inventory, Amavit does not intend to expose it for the time being.

"Okay, Your Highness."

"I remember I said I wanted to move out last year. Where is the house?"

"It's just south of the palace, very close, with the Islena River behind it."

"Father, are you free today?"

"Your Majesty has canceled all the afternoon meetings."

"That's perfect. Tomorrow, tomorrow morning, you find a suitable person, and I'm going to do some repairs in the house. Keep it a secret."

"Your wishes, Your Highness."

"Okay. I'm fine now. You can go back to your father."

"Goodbye, Your Highness."

…

At noon, the royal family rarely gathered together in the restaurant for a pleasant lunch.

After the meal, the family took a walk and chatted in the garden. Mainly, I want Amavit to talk about what he has experienced this year. The prince knew that he couldn't escape, so he picked out the interesting things to say and ignored the ones that were not suitable to talk about.

The queen took the two princesses back to rest. The king took the prince to the meeting hall.

His Royal Highness began to complain: "Let's find another place, father. There is only one chair there, and I am standing at the door like a stage actor."

"Haha~" The king liked his son's temperament that he was too lazy to pretend to do anything: "How about a chair for you to sit on?"

The son glanced at his father sideways and said, "This is boring. After not seeing each other for a year, you dig a hole for your son?"

The king waved his hand.

"If I really want to fight for that chair, you will have a headache." The prince put his arm around the king's shoulders and said, "We have known each other for 18 years, and we don't know each other. This whole thing is really boring. Hurry up and talk about business elsewhere. ”

The king didn't mind, and he enjoyed it a little, so he agreed: "Okay, okay, let's go to the small reception room."

…

The king and the prince were in the small living room. Alfred put down the tea tray, drove away the guards, and stood guard at the door himself. He knew he was not needed inside, nor was he needed by anyone.

The prince started directly without waiting for the king to ask: "First of all, I made it clear in the letter about the quagmire in Willen. Those three old witches are very troublesome, but they are only in Willen. They cannot threaten Temori. Ya, leave them alone. When the time comes, I will deal with them."

The king nodded: "What else?"

The prince handed over a stack of parchment that he had been holding in his hand: "This is the paper I gave to Dean Tisaya. This paper has been archived confidentially by the college. Except for a few senior officials of Arethusa, no one will Read the full paper first and then I’ll explain.”

This was printed with magic after completing the thesis.

Of course Amavit doesn’t turn his elbows out. Naturally, there is a purpose behind handing over this paper.

Any problem, viewed from different directions, will have completely different interpretations. Starting from different directions, there will be different changes. It depends on who has better means.

After the king read it twice, he held up the parchment and asked, "Is this really the case?"

"If they follow what is written above, they will. But it will take a long time, decades at the earliest." The prince replied. Magic is not as easy to spread as steam engines.

Amavit's voice changed: "However, there is a high probability that they will not do what is written above. Any change is difficult."

"I have several purposes for writing this paper. As long as the environment remains unchanged and magic exists, magic will always exist, and mages will always exist. We cannot completely eliminate magic. Since we cannot eliminate it, we must let them Use it for me. Magic is not omnipotent, at least not now. As long as magic is not omnipotent, what is more powerful is the human heart, right?"

The king thought silently, trying to understand what the prince had said. After a few breaths, he nodded: "Yes, power is more powerful." The king raised his hand and motioned for the prince to continue.

"How to make mages useful to us? I think we should first integrate them into the secular world and don't let them float in the sky. Let them recognize that mages are no higher than ordinary people. Let them produce, research, consume, and imitate. If they live like ordinary people, they are no different from our people. The sheep must follow the leader, even if the sheep is slightly stronger."

After pausing for a moment to let His Majesty the King understand, Amavit continued: "Furthermore, let them create more magic products so that our civilians can have a better life, and Temeria will be stronger, creating a virtuous cycle. . The stronger Temeria becomes, the stronger we become, and the mages become less scary."

His Majesty Geidema nodded. After being the king for so many years, he understood the principle of making the people rich and the country strong.

In fact, after transcending slavery, any wise king knew that it was important to make the lives of the common people better.

Unless there are more important problems to be solved, such as war, such as seizing power, in this case, whether civilians live well or not is not that important. Or I would rather be a peace dog.

"Finally, after the above series of changes, mages, like ordinary people, will no longer be above the country, they will belong to the country."

"I probably understand, but I still need to think more. I can't show this to others, I can only do it myself." His Majesty Geidema patted the paper stacked on the table and said, "It needs to be carefully thought about. Ah. The actual operation process will be very long.”

The king looked up at the prince and said, "Well, what about the back part."

"Don't worry about the first part, but the latter part is more urgent. If the magic subject suggestions I gave to the college are implemented properly, then in the near future the college will definitely have a group of graduates who are not so talented, but are proficient in a certain field. They may Only knows how to make alchemy, or can only make some simple magic items.

Such mages cannot survive in the circle of mages. They will inevitably put down their status and live among ordinary people. They can bring us more wealth and accelerate the process of mages integrating into ordinary people.

They are important. If Temeria is prepared to accept them, we will become stronger much faster than other countries. "

After a while, His Majesty Geidema nodded again.

"As far as I know, there are many magic apprentices who cannot graduate and have been kicked out of the academy. We can try to find these people first."

His Majesty the King suddenly said: "It is said that Kaedwen's spies are stationed at Ban Ad every day to recruit these people?"

"That's right. But actually, I think what Kaedwin did was stupid."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Can an arrogant mage apprentice who has no training and only knows how to throw fireballs be a good spy? What do you think?"

His Majesty the King couldn't help but smile and nodded at his son: "You are still..."

"The correct approach should be to let these apprentices do simple enchanting and basic alchemy work, and distribute these enchanted weapons and alchemy products to our elite army. If you don't know how to enchant or alchemy, then let them They go to the army to throw fireballs. If there are 100 magicians who throw fireballs, they can cripple the opposing group in one round."

The king's interest immediately increased: "By the way, there is also the part at the end of the paper, the battle mage..."
