Chapter 20: The Society of the Sages
"So how did you think about it, Qin Mo?"
An old voice came from Qin Mo's ears.
Early this morning, Emilia went to the palace early. Originally, Qin Mo was going to be with Emilia, after all, he had now become Emilia's first knight.
However, the invitation from the old man in front of him made him dismiss this idea.
It was an old man with gray hair, and his beard was so long that it almost dragged to the ground.
Although he is not hunchbacked, he is unusually short. There are deep wrinkles on the face, which makes people clearly aware of their age. His eyes were very sharp, not at all like an old man in the twilight.
This old man is the biggest ruler in the Kingdom of Luganica at this moment, the representative of the Sage Society, and the person who has the greatest say in the Sage Society - McRotov.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, McRotov. But I think I'm still too young and inexperienced to take on this responsibility. Qin Mo said that he regretfully refused the old man's invitation.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have experience, no one can be qualified for this position from the beginning, you can follow me and watch slowly and learn slowly." McRotov stared at Qin Mo, his eyes flashing with a bright and wise light.
Yes, McRotov is here to invite Qin Mo to join the Sage Society.
The Society of the Magi of the Kingdom of Lugnica is nominally a group that assists the king in administering the country.
However, in reality, in this special time without a king, Lugnica is completely dependent on the Magi Society for its operations. Even before the royal family existed, the power of the Magi was above that of the king.
Qin Mo felt that the identity of the representative of the Sage Society of McRotov was somewhat similar to the previous Prime Minister of the Eagle Country and the Prime Minister of the Neon Cabinet.
In fact, anyone in Luganica would be ecstatic to receive an invitation from the Society of the Mages.
Even Qin Mo was even more pleasant.
Since Qin Mo came to this world from scratch, with the help of the identity of the main god, on the premise that he is familiar with the plot of this world, and under his guidance intentionally or unintentionally, everything that happened around him has been developing in the direction he wants.
But McRotov's invitation was completely unexpected by Qin Mo, and he didn't even think about the possibility of this.
Whenever this kind of thing happened, Qin Mo would become happy.
"I'm sorry, McRotov. Actually, just yesterday, I became Emilia's First Horse. Qin Mo rejected McRotov again.
"I've finally become a knight, and I seem to have figured it out." McRotov didn't feel the slightest annoyance at being rejected again, but instead asked Qin Mo this sentence, "What do you think of the current form of the Lugonica Kingdom?" ”
"On the surface, it doesn't look very optimistic, the royal family is all dead, the country has no king, the people are panicking, the monster is raging, the fiscal deficit is very tense, and even the relationship with neighboring countries is very tense!" Qin Mo thought for a moment and said mercilessly.
"Go on." There was encouragement in McRotov's eyes.
"But this is not a problem that cannot be solved, the wise man will have you to keep the country running, and there is a force of Rheinharut, the strongest sword master who can already be said to have surpassed the previous sword saints. As long as a capable king is elected, under the protection of the dragon, Lugonica even has the hope of surpassing the glory of the previous Lion King. Qin Mo looked directly at McRotov and said unhurriedly.
"That's a good point, Qin Mo, but I'm too old." "It is impossible for people like Reinharut and Yurius to join the Society of the Magi, a considerable part of the nobility is decayed, and even some members of the Society of the Magi are stagnant under the protection of the dragon. ”
"If it weren't for you, I might have lost my mind about cultivating an heir. Now I hope you can give it some thought about my proposal. ”
"The Chosen King is about to begin, and since you are Lord Emilia's First Knight, come with me into the palace."
Qin Mo looked at McRotov helplessly, this old man was also heartbroken for Luganica.
Then he got into McRotov's dragon carriage and rushed to the palace.
The Audience Hall of the Royal Palace.
The floors are covered with red carpets, the walls are richly decorated, and lavish chandeliers hang from the ceiling.
At the deepest point, there is a striking high platform with five chairs on the left and right.
In the innermost part of the middle, there is also a remarkable seat, which is Lugnica's throne, with a dragon motif wall behind it. If you sit in that seat, you will look like you are being guarded by the dragon behind you.
In the middle of the hall at this time, there were elite soldiers wearing white uniforms and knightly swords at their waists, knights of the Knights of the Kingdom of Lugonica.
Standing on one side of the gown, it seems that it is all aristocratic civil officials.
Of course, all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of Lugonica are here today, because the election of the king is about to begin.
Then in the center of the room, some distance from the knights and nobles, several people stood side by side.
Those were the four dragon shrinemaidens that the Kingdom of Luganica had found so far.
A silver-haired half-elf, a nobleman in military uniform, an insatiable businessman, a widow with no one in her eyes.
"Please prepare all of you, and next, everyone from the Sage Club will be entering." The voice of Marcos, the head of the Knights of the Guards, echoed throughout the hall.
The door opened, and several elderly people walked into the hall with slow steps.
They were all dressed in costumes that matched their status and venue, and even from the movements and demeanor of their walking, you could feel the deep majesty and experience.
When the high-profile McRotov entered, a young man dressed in a pure white aristocratic robe stood beside him and entered with him.
That was Qin Mo, who was brought into the palace by Macrotov, and among a group of old men, he seemed out of place.
After several people from the Sage Society took their seats on the high platform, Qin Mo stood on top of the high platform, behind McRotov.
"Who's that? Why do you stand in the middle of the Wise Men Society? ”
"'Knight of Radiance' Qin Mo, why is he here? His family must have fallen into decay a long time ago. ”
"Had he been invited to join the Wise Fellowship?"
Unlike the puzzles and speculations of the other people around her, Emilia finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qin Mo enter.
Fortunately, at the last minute, he came.
Qin Mo gave Emilia in front of the high platform a reassuring look.
"All the members of the Wise Men's Society, as well as the candidates for the king, have arrived, and I am the head of the Knights of the Guards, and Marcus is in charge of the proceedings."
With the loud voice of Marcos, the king of Luganica Kingdom slowly kicked off.
