When Colin got out of the carriage, he saw the thin figure in the silver mage robe in front of the convoy.
In fact, if it wasn't for making excuses to run out, Colin didn't want to see the speaker of the Mage Council at all.
In Colin's eyes, this old master had too little political sensitivity and he still couldn't see the situation clearly.
I don't know if it was because I spent too much time on arcane research, so that I ignored other aspects.
"Good day, Viscount Angele!"
"Good day, Mr. Ernest." Colin greeted him with a smile, but looked around, as if he was admiring the scenery in the fields.
Ernest didn't care about Colin's slightly rude behavior, and asked: "I wonder if I can see the Lord Duke?"
"Sorry, Lord Duke is not in good health. If you have anything, just tell me directly, and I will convey it to you."
Ernest sighed, seeming to understand Vera's attitude.
After the opponent converts to the Lord of Radiance, he may be gradually alienated from the Mages Council, and it is impossible for him to receive preferential treatment in the North through the status of a mage.
However, for the future of the Mages Council, Ernest still wanted to give it a try, saying:
"Your Excellency, I took the liberty to come here this time, hoping that Lord Duke can read the feelings of the past and relax the restrictions on the mage, so that we can pass through the northern border as before."
Colin had already heard of Ernest's restrictions on wizards. Of course, this was also the result of Mr. Hood's sacrifice to Fallen Eagle City.
Since the "eye of judgment", the forbidden spell's casting conditions, spread, the hostility of the entire Glory Empire to the wizards immediately rose a step, and every empire lord began to worry about whether his territory would become the target of sacrifices by the wizards. .
As a result, the major lords of the empire tacitly issued a ban on the mage, prohibiting any mage from entering the city under their own governance.
Of course, it is not difficult for the mages to pretend to be ordinary people and enter the imperial city. After all, not every city guard can accurately distinguish the mages from the crowd.
However, this still caused great trouble to the wizards.
This is about why the wizards want to enter the city of the Glory Empire.
It stands to reason that the Mages Council does not believe in the Lord of Glory, and is naturally the enemy of the empire, but in fact, they are also inseparable from the empire.
To become a wizard, you must have an arcane talent, but this talent is extremely rare. It is almost one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand. Therefore, it is difficult to find a mage apprentice. It is estimated that the population of a city in Yevil The mages have long cut off the inheritance.
Therefore, although the mages hated the Glory Empire, they always had to come to the Empire to find apprentices with arcane talent.
If you want to know a child's arcane talent, you must cast a test spell, but the arcane fluctuations generated by this test spell will expose the position of the wizards.
This is why the mages pretend to be ordinary people and mix into the city. As long as they want to find talented apprentices, they must constantly cast test spells, and then the city defense army will be attracted...
Under the current tense situation, every lord will be extremely sensitive to the arcane fluctuations in his city. Once he finds it, he will immediately dispatch elite troops to search and capture. After catching the wizards who have entered, he does not hesitate. Hang them.
Therefore, Ernest panicked.
"Sorry, Sir Ernest, I can't agree to your request. As for the reason, you should know it. Vera also won't put her people in a dangerous situation."
Colin did not hesitate to refuse the other party's request. The life and death of the mage was a matter of his ass.
Ernest said eagerly again: "Viscount Anglia, the Magistrate has listed the'Judgment Blade' as a forbidden technique. Please believe that we have absolutely no idea of sacrificing innocent people.
If you still don't worry, I can limit the mage's ranks entering the northern realm to below the third rank. They absolutely have no ability to release the forbidden spell.
Moreover, once they have any wrongdoing, the city defense forces can easily catch them. "
Colin shrugged and still shook his head: "Sorry, this will still arouse the resentment of the Northern Lord."
Ernest heard Colin's tone loosen slightly, excited in his heart, and hurriedly threw a decoy:
"Your Excellency, do you want to know, in Shadow Canyon, which high-level mage cast a spell to blow up the cliff, blocking the black cavalry's retreat in the canyon?"
When Colin's face changed, he finally got some interest.
To be honest, if Ernest thought that Vera's old relationship with the wizard alone would allow the North to open a convenient door to the wizard, it would be too naive, but fortunately, the other party finally woke up and understood. Only by giving what the North Territory wants can there be room for negotiation.
"Tell me his name and relevant evidence that this person participated in the conspiracy against the Black Cavalry. After I confirm it, I can agree to let the wizards below Tier 3 enter and exit the northern territory freely."
Ernest finally had a smile on his face, and his frowning brows stretched out, without worrying about whether Colin would break his promise, he said immediately:
"Master Viscount, this person is the teacher of Master Duke-Master Kuhusius!"
"Cuhusius?" Colin raised his brows, a little surprised by the answer.
But then he felt that it was really possible. After all, when Mr. Coquettish was offering sacrifice to Fallen Eagle City, he arranged for Mage Cusius to stay outside the city to prevent possible interruptions. Therefore, the two men had colluded with each other a long time ago. NS.
When Mr. Xiang was calculating the Black Cavalry, it was indeed reasonable to arrange for Master Cusius to go to Shadow Canyon to cooperate with the East.
"Yes, it is Cusius. Your Excellency, if you don’t believe me, you can send someone to the east to investigate. The Pegasus Legion was the one who set up ambushes in Shadow Canyon at the beginning, although most of them have already died in the Black Cavalry. In the hands of the army, a group of wounded soldiers had already returned to Bailu City.
These people have all met Kusius, and it is not difficult for you to verify. "
"Chuhus...hehe!" Colin sneered, thinking of the mage who had come forward to become the Arcane advisor of the St. Hild family, if he knew that the Marquis Garcia he had participated in the framed up was Vera's birth. Father, I'm afraid I will regret sending it to the door.
Colin didn't have any good feelings for this guy, but now that he has such a reason, of course he won't be merciful to him anymore.
"Thank you for the information, Mr. Ernest! I will discuss with Vera about allowing some mages to enter the North to find apprentices.
Of course, in order not to arouse the fear of the northern lords, the way and method of your selection of inheritance must also be changed. I hope you can understand this.
I will contact you after I discuss a feasible plan with Vera. "
Ernest was overjoyed when he heard the words and quickly thanked him.
After the speaker of the Mage Council left, Colin stood still thinking deeply.
He suddenly felt that Yevel might be a partner for cooperation.
First of all, Mage is naturally the enemy of the church, and the enemy of the enemy can also become a friend.
By the same token, Yevel is also a major concern in the East, and their position on this issue is once again consistent with that of the North.
In addition, Colin had already thought that he had grasped the vein of the Mages Council-the search for the inheritors, then it was a matter of course to draw the wizards over.
As for the belief problem that the imperial nobles generally feared, it was not a problem at all for Colin. He himself did not have much awe of the Lord of Radiance, and even used the other party’s name to develop blood, and of course he didn’t. Mind to cooperate with those unbelievers mages.
As for whether this move would cause a sort of opposition from the Northern Lords, Colin didn't actually care too much.
On the contrary, he really wanted to see, if Vera proposes to lift the ban on the passage of some wizards, how many northern lords will oppose it, and how many people will be in violation?
Colin could also take this opportunity to clean up the interior of the northern border.
