Chapter 251: Herbert's Worries
The first of the three questions is mainly related to the dozen mayors on the scene, and the second and third points are mainly related to the leaders of the mercenary group. The work of recruiting recruits is well arranged, and it is one of their jobs to let school-age teenagers join the mercenary group, and the real difficulty is to transfer experienced veterans, and any mercenary group does not want to give up their excellent soldiers to others, so when Hollanster made this request, the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group and the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group both found their own reasons to politely refuse, and the person in charge of the Spirit Snake Mercenary Group also expressed embarrassment, only Nelson of the Tiger Mercenary Group was willing to help, but there was also a reason, on the one hand, because Alan had helped him repair his family's ancestral magic sword, and he owed Alan a favor, and on the other hand, because of his subordinate Bloom, He has received a notice from the mercenary union to transfer Bloom out of Capra Mountain, at first he didn't know why Holland changed his mind, but now it seems that the reason is Allen, so he understands that Bloom is only afraid that he is already Allen's person, why not take this opportunity to push the boat to give Bloom to Allen. Of course, these were Nelson's small calculations, and the others didn't know what he thought.
Sure enough, Nelson's statement made Hollanster very satisfied, otherwise the heads of the four large mercenary groups opposed it in unison, even if he could force it by virtue of the authority of the lord and the president of the mercenary union, it would undoubtedly have an impact on his prestige, and it would not be conducive to the advancement of the subsequent matter.
"Alan, congratulations on your official becoming the chief mage of the city-state now, and I can live a solid life in the future. ”
It wasn't until the meeting was over and everyone was sent away that Herbert said to Allen.
"Thank you, Archmage. However, I have just arrived at this position, and many things are not clear, and I still need the guidance of the archmage. ”
Alan is not humble, although he has been in the ancient city of Ogu for many years, but most of the time is spent on tasks, and the rest of the time is spent in alchemy, in terms of understanding of Ogu Castle he is even far inferior to Steven, so he does need someone to guide him to smooth out various relationships.
"If there's anything going on, just come to me, old man. ”
Herbert smiled happily.
"For the sake of the revival of the Gossa, the old friend gave up his position as the chief archmage. We have been working together for more than 20 years, and today you suddenly said that you want to live in your old age, and I feel very uncomfortable, although your position has been relinquished, but your role is still there, and the city-state still needs you. ”
Hollanster shook Herbert's hand and said with sincerity.
"My lord, I have always been grateful for your trust in me for more than twenty years, the revival of the Gossars has always been the goal I strive for, even until the day I die, I will not give up, but I am really old and lack energy. Eren is a magician ten times better than me, and I believe that with his help, the revival of the Gothas is no longer a dream, and I hope that the adults will trust Eren as much as they trust me. ”
The old magician took Hollanster's hand, shook his silver hair, and admonished earnestly. He was never worried about Allen's strength, what he was worried about was Holland's wariness of Allen, this kind of wariness existed since Allen first arrived in the ancient city of Aogu, and it never disappeared, if Holland can't fully trust Allen, then Allen can't play it no matter how much he has the ability, and if he doesn't get it right, the two of them will break up and ruin the revival of the Gossa.
"If everyone can take the national affairs as their own responsibility as the archmage, why can't the Gosas be revived. ”
Horanster did not answer Herbert directly, but said pointedly.
The two men spoke a few more words, Herbert took his leave, and Hollanster and Alan were sent all the way out of the castle gates.
"Alan, don't be in a hurry, I'll let you take you to see where you live. ”
Seeing Herbert away, Alan was about to take his leave, but was retained by Holland, and called the butler to command.
"Where do I live?"
Alan asked, puzzled.
"That's right. The Chief Archmage, as the most important person around me, usually lives in the Ogu Manor, so that I can communicate with each other at any time if I have any important matters. ”
Hollanster explained with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm still used to living at home down the mountain.
Alan politely declined. He didn't want to live in a place where he was surrounded by people from the Ogu family, inside and out.
"Your Excellency, the dwellings in the manor are not only larger and more luxuriously decorated, but also have special servants to serve the adults, and there are guards to ensure the safety of the adults. Even some of the magic materials you need as a magician are available. ”
The butler saw that Holancest's expression became a little gloomy because of Allen's unsuspecting refusal, and hurriedly took the initiative to explain to Holancest.
"Because I'm a magician who is good at alchemy, I can't stay in the manor, because I often have to do alchemy research, and it will be inappropriate to disturb adults and families if there is an explosion. ”
Alan finally found a high-sounding and empathetic reason.
"That's fine. Since Alan doesn't like it here, I don't force it, but as the chief archmage of the ancient city of Okusan, your safety will affect the revival of the entire Godsa people, so in order to ensure your personal safety, the city-state will send some guards as your retinue, who will be responsible for protecting your safety and providing you with some services. ”
Seeing that Allen's attitude was resolute, Holland did not insist, but retreated.
"Then I thank you for your kindness. ”
Eren knew he couldn't say no more, or it would not only be a matter of ignorance, but the little trust he had just built up with Hollanster would be destroyed. The reason why Horanster had to send some people to his side was obviously not simply to protect his own safety, but more because he was not at ease with himself and wanted to monitor his every move. However, since he has a clear conscience, he simply let Holland's people monitor him, which will help him win Hollander's trust.
On the second day of the meeting, the news that Allen had become the chief archmage of the ancient city state of Ao reached the ears of different forces on the continent through different people.
"Look! This is the good student you taught, and in vain we bothered to train him, and in the end we took refuge in someone else. ”
In the council chamber of the palace of Yus, Emperor Vettels threw a parchment scroll containing information in front of the old magician Famar X.
The old magician had just finished breakfast in the morning, and was going to go to the classroom to teach the senior students about the techniques of earth magic, but before he could reach the door of the classroom, he was stopped by the officials sent by the Emperor Yuss to deliver the decree, and whether he wanted to or not, dragged him to the palace, and saw Wittels, who was already waiting here in the council chamber, and the Minister of War Williams and the head of the Knight Academy, Wilford Lead, were there. As soon as they met, Vettels didn't even say a polite word, and threw the parchment roll directly in front of him, leaving him at a loss for a while.
