After explaining to Luceen, Loren immediately set off for the Wizarding Society's Wizarding Tower.

The current wizarding guild, although still loosely structured, has begun to change gradually...... Apprentices within the Guild are no longer the labor of their mentors, but receive uniform teaching and basic courses, and all local wizards, whether they wish to work for the Guild or not, must register or lose their cheap benefits in the Society's alchemy workshops and libraries.

Once they become full-fledged members, wizards who are given more research and funding "privileges" have to work for the Guild - regular mentoring, research courses are licensed, and apprentices are involved in minor sessions, three out of ten days are not in the Guild... And so on, it's basically similar to the many colleges under the name of the Wizard Tower.

According to Loren's idea, of course, he wanted to build his first force into a tight-knit and even quasi-armed group, but given the sad loose organizational traditions of wizards, he could only pin his hopes on the next generation......

Naturally, such a "reform" investment is inevitable, and the association's own pitiful hematopoietic level cannot even feed itself... Fortunately, Loren still had the gold bonds he won from Yood Jr., and he finally survived the first installment.

Although the reputation of the Yode Chamber of Commerce has been turbulent because of the "invasion" of Ebolden, it is precisely because of this that they are more eager to maintain stability at the moment, even if Loren directly cashes out 300 million bonds, old Roger will only grit his teeth and pay it to himself.

And after surviving the very beginning, everything started to get better... The United Chamber of Commerce has signed a "long-term contract" with the association, and on the premise of not interfering in the internal affairs of the association, funds, materials and even information can be provided at a very low price.

As long as Loren Turin is the president of the Wizarding Guild, this contract will last forever, and the Guild will be able to continue to improve its hematopoietic functions and find ways to merge with other county guilds to grow and expand.

Wizards who are too independent and lack organization can only become a force that will not be ignored and oppressed and exert their influence on the local area only if they unite around the region and reach the level of "academy".

The best examples of this are the Royal Wizarding Academy in the Imperial Capital and the Crucible Academy in Crucible Town, both of which are top-notch alchemist academies, the former being a force to be reckoned with in the Imperial Capital, and the latter being the controller of a mere town that is subservient to the Prince of East Sackland.

Walking through the hall on the first floor of the Wizard's Tower, a group of apprentices were making final adjustments on the test bench under the guidance of the Mentor, trembling at the sound of the Mentor's scolding, while in the courtyard outside, a few rookies who were studying spells were practicing simple low-level spells around a scarecrow target......

For some reason, Loren's heart was suddenly full of emotion, and there was even a sense of pride and satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.

They are naïve, innocent, mediocre in talent, and do not see any qualifications... But after a year, three-quarters of them will become qualified wizards, and one-tenth to one-twentieth will even be recognized by the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower.

And I am their president, the one who gave them this infinite opportunity......

Thinking about it this way, Loren suddenly understood why Dean Peter, who was at the beginning of Wimpal Academy, valued the academy's apprentices so much.

..........................................

"We found these psychedelics in an inn, and a couple of wandering wizards took a room to use as a makeshift laboratory and were caught. Standing in front of the black-haired wizard and the steward of the Red Blood Castle, Vice President Rams spoke respectfully, and his overly humble appearance even made Charles frown slightly.

But for Rams, he would rather do this than slack off - Loren Turin is now the benefactor of the Association and the president of his own service, Charles is a close confidant of the Earl... He can't afford to offend either of them.

"How did you catch it?"

"Very easy... This is also thanks to the new rules set by President Loren, wizards of the Red Blood Castle must be registered, otherwise the alchemy workshops under the name of the association will not be discounted. Faced with the butler's question, Rams bowed and replied:

"In alchemy, low-level alchemy items have rules to be found, and as long as you know what the material is, you can roughly judge the purpose of the other party - as long as you know who it is and buy those things, you can find their clues. ”

Sensing Charles's glance, the black-haired wizard shrugged his shoulders and said very casually, "What do they want these outdated psychedelics for?"

"Uh... It is mainly sold to some party and salon organizations, and the nobles of the city are willing to pay a lot of money for these potions, but they are only of slight potency, and can only produce faint hallucinations. ”

"Oh?" Loren raised his eyebrows, and just as Rams explained, the butler's expression on the side was obviously not quite right:

"What about the real potion?"

"Real psychedelics should all be ......"

"That's it!"

Charles interrupted the butler with an abrupt opening, and looked at the somewhat nervous vice president with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The next thing is that I will be in charge of the intelligence, you better go and go about your own business first." ”

Rams was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned away in a hurry, almost forgetting to close the door in a hurry.

Looking at the obviously abnormal housekeeper, the black-haired wizard who deliberately didn't break it, sat aside and waited quietly for the other party to come up and explain.

"In recent months, an organization that worships ancient beliefs has emerged in Crimson Blood Castle... Or call it a 'heretical order'. Sighing softly, Charles organized his words and slowly spoke: "They often hold meetings and collude with some wandering wizards from other places, but such activity is only the case during this time. ”

"Ancient beliefs?" Loren vaguely remembered the last words of the dead Red Night's Watch... Wine is like blood.

Indeed, it sounds like some kind of prayer.

"Byrne is a country with a long history, and it is in no way inferior to the people of Sakrand. The butler explained gently, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Like all principalities, we also had our own... Ancient legends have worshipped certain beings with great powers. ”

Of course, after accepting the teachings of the Holy Cross, these were banned, and the sword-wielding oath knights also wiped out all traces of evil gods in Byrne, but stories are also part of tradition, and naturally there are many rhymes that have been handed down and chewed on by future generations. ”

Loren raised an eyebrow, feeling like he was about to get to the point.

"A knight, she's had many names—Elion, Chino, Ada, Brunhilde... The thirteen counties of Byrne have different names, but their image is unified: clad in armor, wielding a spear adorned with a swallow-tailed flag and a large sword that can only be held in both hands, riding the dark horses that gallop through the sky, and winning one glorious victory after another. ”

"She?"

"That's right, she's a knightess, or... Goddess of War. Charles nodded: "In Byrne's legend, the breeze of the day and the mist of midnight are her incarnations, and she will bless all the knights who are upright and upright, as well as the warriors who fight against the water, to win the final victory;"

"Sounds pretty good. Loren smiled: "But what if both sides are in a fair duel, or if some villain who is about to be defeated decides to fight to the death?"

"Well, there are a lot of similar stories in Byrne. Charles had a "I guessed you would ask that" expression, and bowed his head slightly:

Because Brünnhilde admired justice and courage, her legends often ended in tragedy – knights of all faith died of exhaustion, or villains who decided to fight to the death were blessed to kill the heroes who were supposed to defeat him...... Etcetera. ”

Belch...... Why does this explain the feeling... Stupid and stupid.

"It's not just the Crimson Blood Castle, there are many such tradition-worshipping groups and gatherings all over Byrne, but the 'Heresy Order' is a different story. ”

Charles turned around and looked sharply:

"The most critical thing is that anything that threatens the existence of the Earl... They must all be destroyed!"
