Chapter 68: Hidden Thorn
Stanny felt very troubled by Motian's request, if these magicians were not restrained, then there would be no need for the empire to exist.
As the saying goes, "There are no rules." β
Constraints must be restricted, but they can be appropriately relaxed, as long as there is that qualification.
Stanny pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "Brother, your request is actually no problem for me.
However, since you have joined the empire, you must obey the management of the empire, in case one day you magicians pat yourself and leave, then the empire will provide so many cultivation resources in vain!
I have a proposal for personal freedom, I don't know if you are interested?"
Mo Tian rubbed his chin: "If you're not interested, then I have to listen to you." β
Actually, there are some things I can't talk about, but in order to win you into the Empire, I'm going to make an exception today. β
Stanny took a step forward and looked cautious: "There are two powerful departments in the Empire, one is the Demon Court and the other is the Knights, these two people I want to live in this continent should be clear.
But in fact, there is also a third department, which has no name and no complex hierarchy.
It is mysterious, unknown to the outside world, and many people have not heard of it.
The magicians who enter this department are called hidden thorns, and in terms of quantity, there are not as many as the Demon Court and the Knights, but in terms of quality, they are many times higher.
Almost every hidden guard can take charge of his own affairs, and his magical talent is among the best.
The Hidden Thorn is directly under the management of the Magic Emperor, so every Hidden Thorn needs to be personally assessed by the Magic Emperor, and if it passes, the future is almost limitless......"
The new term hidden thorn introduced by Stanny touched Mo Tian a lot, he thought he was familiar with this continent, but he didn't expect that he was just a drop in the ocean.
Even if Stany hadn't introduced it all, Mo Tian could deduce that the gold content of the Hidden Thorn was very high.
By the time Stanny had finished introducing him, Motian finally had a more comprehensive understanding of this special imperial magician.
The Hidden Thorn is very mysterious, not only is it not announced to the public, but it is never made public internally, and almost no one knows this identity except for the introducer and the Magic Emperor.
However, it is more difficult to become a hidden thorn than to ascend to the sky, so that the number of hidden guards is very small, although it is not clear the specific number of hidden guards, but according to Stanny's guess, it may be about a hundred.
What is this concept, according to incomplete statistics, the total population of the wizarding world is only about 5 billion, there are a total of five continents, and the average population of each continent is almost 1 billion.
And among the 1 billion people, the magician occupies 1, so the probability of becoming a hidden thorn is 1 in a million, which is very shocking to Mo Tian, and it also opens a new door for him.
Although the Hidden Thorn obeys the orders of the Magic Emperor and serves the Empire, it is extremely free, and there is nothing to do under normal circumstances.
And the Hidden Thorn doesn't have to go to the empire to report, and he can still stay in the guild, which is no different from an ordinary magician.
The stinger is very secretive, and it is possible to see a meat seller or a grocery shopping aunt on the street.
Mo Tian was guessing that the Stanny who was talking to him now was not necessarily a hidden thorn.
The identity of the hidden thorn is like an ethereal air, you can't see it but you contact it every day, maybe the people around you are also hidden thorns.
The more he learned about the Hidden Thorn, the more Mo Tian felt that it was more like a spy, because no one knew the identity of the Hidden Thorn, so these Hidden Thorns were often mixed in with many forces.
Mo Tian heard Stanny say that there was also a hidden thorn in the Dark Devil Sect, which surprised him.
Aren't the Dark Cult all evil magicians whose souls have fallen into the abyss?
Could it be that those thorns are also evil magicians?
If so, why did the empire still accept them, wouldn't they all be wiped out?
Regarding Mo Tian's doubts, Stanny did not solve his doubts, but said to him: "Now your strength is not enough, and your experience is not enough, telling it early will affect your judgment."
When you get in touch with it more, sooner or later you will understand. β
After knowing so much and thinking about it for so long, Motian also had his own decision.
"I'm going to be a thorn. This was the first thought that flashed through Mo Tian's mind.
It wasn't because the special Imperial Magician of the Hidden Thorn could provide him with more cultivation resources, but because Mo Tian subconsciously felt that he was very suitable for the Hidden Thorn.
"How can I become a thorn?" Motian asked impatiently.
Stanny raised his eyebrows and thought secretly: "Son, weren't you very arrogant just now, didn't you want to join the empire? β
He expected that Mo Tian would not resist, so he instantly gained confidence, straightened his waist, and pretended to be very embarrassed, and spoke hesitantly, but he didn't give Mo Tian a clear answer.
People like Stanny just give a little sunshine and it will shine, and give it a little flood and it will flood.
Mo Tian had already seen this, and he knew very well what method to use to deal with this kind of person.
Isn't it just a hidden thorn? Lao Tzu is not rare, who is afraid of whom?
"Captain Stanley, I'm really chilled by your attitude, so I don't think this trade should continue.
Anyway, it's not that simple to become a hidden thorn, and it's not what you say, so I'm really sorry today, I've worked hard for you, please go back!"
Mo Tian waved his hand, his attitude was very resolute, he looked a little impatient, and urged Stanny to leave.
Stanny, who was originally proud, suddenly panicked in his heart, he didn't expect Motian to be so serious.
"Hey, hey, I'm just kidding, why did you get into trouble with me?"
"Cut!" Mo Tian glanced at with disdain, "Commander, it's you who begged me to join the Empire, and it's not that I really want to join."
Since you have thrown the sweetness of hidden thorns to me, but you are still holding it in your hands, are you too human to do this to me?"
"Okay, okay!" Stanny didn't want to argue with Mo Tian, he was the commander of the Imperial Knights, and it would be really naΓ―ve to be serious with Mo Tian if he continued to be serious.
"I only have one chance to be introduced, whether it can be used as a hidden thorn or not, it depends on you. Stanny said lightly.
"Then I'm going to go to the Imperial Capital to meet the Magic Emperor?" Mo Tian asked.
Stanny shook his head, "No. β
Mo Tian raised his eyebrows, and suddenly had doubts: "Why? Didn't you say that you want to let the Magic Emperor personally assess? If you don't meet, how can you know that I am a person?"
"Son, don't worry. Stanny walked to the door, "Come with me, this is not a place to talk, let's talk up there." β
Mo Tian hesitated slightly, stood up, and raised his hands: "Weakly ask, when will you untie this damn iron cuff from me?"
"Oops!" Stanny patted his head, "I almost forgot." β
I saw the ring inlaid with emerald green gems on Stanny's hand flash, and suddenly a key with purple light appeared in his palm.
Mo Tian saw all this, and if his guess was correct, the ring on Stanny's hand should be a space ring with the same function as the magic bag.
However, the space ring has more storage space and is more secure.
Opening the Forbidden Handcuffs is not just a key, but a spell that only Stany can use.
After the spell was recited, the key shot out a purple light, and the light hit the forbidden handcuffs, falling off Mo Tian's hand in the blink of an eye.
The forbidden demon handcuffs fell to the ground with a clanging sound, and the sense of weight disappeared, making Mo Tian feel unprecedented power, and the magic power that had been sealed for many days quickly swept through the whole body like a volcanic eruption.
Stanny, who was on the side, felt the churning magic on Mo Tian's body, and his face changed suddenly, but it quickly turned to joy.
This is a sign of a breakthrough in his magic power, and he is becoming more and more curious at this time, and his expectations are getting higher and higher, not necessarily that he can really become a hidden thorn.
