It is worthy of being a high-ranking elder of the Magic Association second only to the president, and it is such a heavyweight condition as soon as he opens his mouth to solicit it. Chongyang struggled to suppress the impulse that sprung up in his heart, slowly took a deep breath, and blinked his eyes.

"The Grand Master of the Third Rank Magician...... It's really good, although the real power that can be allocated may not be much, but this reputation and status are enough to make people excited. Chongyang said.

Richard's smiling face had a sharp glint in his squinted old eyes.

In the face of the big interests that came to their eyes rashly, some people cried with joy, some people were surprised and stunned, and some people were skeptical...... And the person who behaved calmly and calmly, Richard had seen a lot in his life, but like the young man in front of him, in the next second, he pointed out the key in a very ordinary tone, which is unique.

Power!

With Richard's authority, there is no problem in parachuting a Grand Director in the Magical Association, and this Grand Director will definitely be treated with the same respect as other Grand Directors. But...... Only in the most important aspects, such as real power, it is impossible to compare with those big secretaries who have climbed up from the bottom step by step.

Power is a very complex thing, and it doesn't just have a background. Their own abilities, connections, factions...... Many factors will have a big impact.

An airborne chief, even if he has outstanding ability, gathers people's hearts, participates in circles, and cultivates henchmen...... It takes a lot of time. In contrast, a person who climbs up step by step from below, even if he is just a director, can influence and control affairs, and is definitely stronger than a big director who has no foundation.

To put it bluntly, the big secretary without the corresponding power is just a vase that can only be used to show off. What Elder Richard is actually doing is trying to save the 10,000-year-old repeater from a dire situation in a vase position, draw him into his sphere of influence, and establish a line of contact with the grandmaster who created the amazing magic.

It seems that the solicitation conditions are very strong, but after seeing through its essence, I know that it is nothing more than that.

The content of Chongyang's words said "tempting", but it already broke through the essence, and also made Richard slightly shocked by the deep attitude he showed.

10,000-year repeater ...... Shame on Presland...... How many things has this young man experienced to be in such a state of mind? Richard became interested in Chongyang in another way, not in that kind of powerful magic, but in Chongyang himself.

......

"Let me think about it. Chongyang's final answer was not beyond Richard's expectations. This Elder of the Magic Association, who once locked more than a dozen so-called outstanding children in his family in a locked black room and severely punished him for half a year, has faintly regarded Chongyang as a "junior who can talk well".

Even his beloved granddaughter, Frilyn, had never been treated like this.

"You're always welcome here, but realistically, I hope you make a decision sooner. Elder Richard sent Chongyang out the door, smiling kindly.

Chongyang nodded, and said, "So...... My brother and Miss Frelyn's affair ......"

"I won't interfere too much in the little things of young people. I will be a referee, firstly, to distract myself, and secondly, to see the reckless boy who dares to stab the Daunes of the Alex family and my granddaughter. Richard said lightly, "It's not bad to look at, but compared to another bigger gain, these are very secondary." ”

Chongyang heard the meaning of the old man's words, and he touched his chin.

"The last magic scroll that I didn't use in this duel, I'll give the scorching sun to Miss Frilian. Chongyang faced the old man and bowed slightly, "At this point, I disturbed ...... Retirement. ”

Seeing the back of Chongyang's departure, Richard couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if those boys in the family with eyes on the top of their heads had half of the inner qualities of this Prisland's only repeater, why should he be distracted from the family's affairs?

Zhuoyang and Frilian's relationship, the old man's attitude is not to oppose and will not take the initiative to support. Getting this information is the most important takeaway from the interview with the elders of Chongyang.

"That's the guy left......" Chongyang silently walked out of the mage tower, narrowing his eyes slightly from the dazzling sunlight that suddenly bathed him.

"Daunes, the Alex Caron family...... I'm going to need to gather some information. ”

Chongyang knows Zhuoyang's temperament, although this strong-tempered second brother has a bold and careful side, but in the struggle between nobles, that little bit of thought is not enough. If, sending amethyst coins to the imperial capital, the person who met Frilian was a thoughtful and calculating brother Luo Yang, Chongyang would not worry too much.

Almost killed in the dark alley, Chongyang didn't want his brother to suffer again.

Brilliant Hotel.

"Third brother, this time is really thanks to you! if it weren't for your potions and scrolls, I would definitely have lost face in front of Frilian. Zhuoyang's face was radiant, and he almost didn't engrave a few words of love smug on his face.

"Miss Frillian isn't mad at you for going too hard in the end, is she?"

"Not at all!" I tried to take a look, and she had a very bad impression of Daunes. This battle is a complete victory!" Zhuo Yang took a big sip of a glass of spirits, excited, and his face was full of red light.

Chongyang nodded, and slowly took a sip of heavy wine, feeling the hot liquid burning in his throat and stomach.

"Second brother, these days, you stay in the hotel. Except for a date with Miss Frelene, don't wander around...... I'll just go to the auction by myself. ”

Zhuoyang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his brain, which had not been eroded by alcohol, sobered up.

"Are you worried about Daunes' revenge?"

"Yes, as you can see from this duel...... In the imperial capital, the power behind Daunes has accumulated deeply. This time he was greatly deflated, and he must not have counted it like this. Chongyang said, "And we are rootless here." Even if this duel was won, in the eyes of those of them, they were still just countrymen from the north. ”

Zhuoyang nodded silently. Even though he was the son of a hereditary earl, Burning Sun City was thousands of miles away from the imperial capital, and neither its influence nor actual power was worth mentioning.

"This is the imperial capital, prosperous and peaceful, although there are many dark places, but in general, as long as you are careful, you will not give your opponent an easy chance......" Chongyang said slowly, "But this is not enough, just in case...... I think it's better to spend some money and hire some high-level mercenaries or adventurers to serve as guards. ”

"How can it!?" Zhuoyang frowned, "That money is for you to buy medicine at home!"

"There are a lot of mercenaries above the realm level in the imperial capital, and the hiring price is relatively cheap, so it doesn't cost much. Chongyang said.

"This ...... How can the guards hired with money protect me?" Burning Sun immediately countered from another angle.

"The most important thing in the mercenary industry is to talk about credibility, we can find mercenaries with a higher reputation or even a mercenary group. Once the contract is made, they will do their best. Even if it is not possible to ask them to give up their lives, you can rely on them to delay some time at a critical moment so that you can escape from the scene of the crisis. ”

"But ......" Zhuoyang wanted to refute, but Chongyang raised a hand to stop him.

"Don't object, second brother, although money is important and buying medicine is important, your safety is more important. If you come to the imperial capital for me, but something happens here, then I will not have the face to go home for the rest of my life. Chongyang said.

"Third brother...... Zhuoyang looked at Chongyang deeply, and suddenly his mind flashed, "What about yourself? That guy Daunes may also make a move on you!?"

"In the case that he can't find the space to deal with you, it is indeed possible. Chongyang nodded, "But don't worry, I usually stay in the academy, no matter how bold they are, it is impossible for them to break into the academy to find someone." And when you go out...... I also have my own means of self-preservation. ”

The so-called means of self-preservation refers to the fire demon who has been haunting (?).

Under Chongyang's patient persuasion, although Zhuoyang was still a little unimpressed in his heart, he also agreed to hire guards and act carefully, believing that Chongyang had his own way to deal with any abnormal situation. After the two brothers finished drinking, Zhuoyang transferred most of the crystal coins to Chongyang, and then the two broke up temporarily.

Chongyang did not immediately return to the academy, but immediately summoned a carriage to rush to the mercenaries and adventurers' union to find a suitable escort force for Zhuoyang.

The Adventure Guild is also one of the largest and most powerful forces on the mainland. Various mercenaries and adventure groups of medium or upper middle rank form the backbone of the strength of the adventure union. Although it is impossible to compete with the military and other state-level forces due to the constraints of the trade union system in various countries, it is undoubtedly extremely powerful in terms of its extensive influence and the actual role it plays in society.

The Imperial Capital's Adventure Guild is a magnificent high-rise stone building, like a towering stone mountain towering in the middle of the city. On the left and right sides, there are arched gates.

Chongyang enters through the door on the left side of the Adventure Guild. This is where customers come and go, and rough mercenaries and adventurers come and go on the right. History has long proven that putting a client and a mercenary adventurer together can cause a lot of unnecessary trouble and riots. Therefore, as long as it is not a special situation, the entrustment is generally in the form of an intermediary.

Under the reception of the staff, Chongyang quickly got a list of free mercenaries or adventure groups that met his requirements. He took a quick look at it, targeting eight of the most unlikely elite adventure brigades with a magical guild background.

After carefully reviewing the resumes of several brigades, he finally eliminated one more and confirmed that he would issue his own orders to the remaining seven, among them, he paid special attention to one brigade called "Ranger Philo".

Ranger Ferro is a famous adventurer in the history of the mainland, and his life legend is still a bedtime story loved by countless children. And "Ranger Philo" took the homonym of his title, then this "Philo" must have its special meaning.

And then through the resume of this brigade...... Chongyang's mood was a little complicated, and he confirmed that this brigade was the team established by his former friends Phillip and Yarrow.

If one of the seven brigades really signed a contract with them, it could be regarded as a kind of fate. I just don't know, it's just a bad fate.
