The Tower of Magic has always been an isolated existence, and people have never known what the interior of this ancient organization looks like.

So the question is, where does this magic tower that does not eat fireworks in the world get the money?

The source of funds for the Magic Tower is to help the nobles, and the nobles give back the funds. The second is that the Royal Creon family allocates an important part of the money to the Magic Tower every year. That's why this ancient organization has been able to maintain its operations until now.

However, what is even more strange is that mages are scarce but still exist in time, so the question is, where do mages come from?

Wayne, as a high-ranking member of Rune, certainly knew this secret.

The magician will recruit children with magical affinities from the people, and at the same time will give the parents a sum of money. Letting the child disown them from now on is equivalent to buying the child in disguise.

So there are a lot of similar half-truths and half-truths of folklore.

Wayne had never encountered this kind of thing before, on the one hand, the magician did things secretly. On the other hand, the probability of this kind of thing happening is too small, and it is rare to encounter it.

But now he has met it, and the family magician has stumbled upon a newly born child with a strong affinity for magic. This would have been a good thing, if this child had been sent to the Magic Tower to study, then the family would have one more loyal and reliable magician in the future.

But if the matter can get to him, it shows that it is not simple, and the parents of this child, that is, Wayne's cousin and aunt, only have this one child. And they are getting old, and it is difficult for them to have children anymore. Wouldn't it be a short time if it was given to the Magic Tower? So they refused, very unwillingly. But the family magician strongly demanded that the child be sent to the Magic Tower, otherwise he would no longer be loyal to the Nils family.

Things have come to this point, and only Wayne, the patriarch, is qualified to decide.

Wayne called his cousin Lima, and the move was already obvious. That's why Nils Lima came with a pale face.

Wayne said softly.

"Uncle Cousin, I'm sure you already know what I mean!"

Lima's lips trembled, but he fell to his knees and begged Wayne.

"Wayne, when I beg you to be okay as a cousin, I am just this one son. I don't want to lose him. ”

Wayne helped Lima to his feet.

"Cousin, do you know why the Nils family has been able to hold on until now? Is it because of my birthright? No, it is the self-sacrifice of countless family ancestors! Not to mention you, even my father fought until the last moment for the good of the family! I saw with my own eyes how he died by the enemy's sword, and I was helpless. I felt the same as you, as if I had been pricked by countless needles! But then, I still had to take my father's place and lead the family forward. When I sat in this position and saw hundreds of family members and the glorious history of the family. I felt the heavy responsibility on my shoulders! I was responsible for them, and I wanted the family torch to be passed on forever! If I were a father, I would have fought until the last moment and would never beg for mercy!"

There was a hint of cruelty in Wayne's eyes, and tears twinkling in the corners of his eyes.

Lima was stunned for a moment, it turned out that this young man in his twenties was not as easy as outsiders looked like, and he was also very tired.

"Don't worry, Wayne, I'll advise your aunt!"

Wayne nodded slightly.

That night, the family's archmagician, Josip, arrived at Wayne's office. The flickering candlelight shone on Josip's satisfied face.

"Count Nils, I don't know what kind of magic you've cast. Lima was like a different person, and he was very active in handing over his son to me. And that's just a conversation you have with him. ”

Wayne shrugged.

"I don't know magic, but I'm glad I've got a bright brain. ”

"Then I have to thank Count Nils for his brilliant brain. ”

"It doesn't have to be. ”

"Count, can I take that child to the Magic Tower first?"

"No, you can't. ”

Jozepp asked, surprised.

"Didn't we negotiate it, Count Niels?"

Wayne blinked.

"When did we get to the point? I just persuaded my cousin to hand over his child. But I didn't agree with you taking him away. ”

Jozepp said in a low tone.

"Count Nils, magicians can't joke. ”

"I'm not kidding, if you want to take my nephew, you have to have conditions. ”

Only then did Jozep say patiently.

"If I come out, I am willing to agree to your terms. Count of Niels. ”

Wayne grinned.

"This condition is absolutely out of your mind, it's just a matter of questions. It's like Master Jozep gave me a good introduction to the dragons. ”

Jozepp frowned.

"Count Nils, why are you asking this question?"

"You don't need to know this. ”

Wayne couldn't have told Josipp that he had slaughtered a female dragon for a magician. Then the magician made a pact with the female dragon, and the most incredible of them was promoted to the rank of archmage. Then ask if the dragons will suffer revenge from the dragons.

Medina could have asked these questions, but the guy was very unreliable. It's just a wild magician, and he rarely enters the magic tower. Wayne was going to ask a serious magician.

"Actually, it's not a secret, since Count Nils wants to know, I can say it. ”

"The dragons were a very powerful race in ancient times, not only because they had hard armor but also large and flexible bodies. Most importantly they are incredibly magically affinity. At the beginning of each dragon's birth, there are almost equal mages to the great mage, and when they mature, they can be compared to the great mage. Moreover, the magic used by the dragons is made up of dragon language, and the spells used by magicians are also evolved from dragon language. ”

"But after experiencing the ebb of the elements, the dragons, like the magicians, have greatly reduced their strength. What's more, the place where the dragons hatch their eggs must be full of magic. This kind of place exists only in antiquity. And now this kind of place is very rare, which is also the reason why there were a large number of dragons in ancient times, but now they are rare. Not only is there a reason, but I don't know where to start. The dragons began to garrison the north, and built the Great Wall there. It seems to be defending against something, I don't know the specifics. In fact, no one except the high priests of the dragons and elves knew about it. ”

This was obviously not the information Wayne wanted, although it greatly opened his eyes. But it didn't work much for him. There was only one thing he cared about: whether the dragons would come to him for revenge.
