"We need your support!"

Arcanists also don't like nonsense in circles, and Lord Cecilia also said directly: "King Gusta, we hope that mages can become legitimate beings in the Northlands, and all Arcanists, mages, druids, and alchemists can walk in the Northlands in the open. ”

"We hope to be able to obtain the right to build a magic academy in the Northlands, and be able to freely select apprentices from your territory......"

"We hope that you will be able to convince the Church of the Ice Goddess to join the 'Pantheon', after all, the followers of the Ice Goddess in the Northlands, like us mages, are regarded as heretics by the Church of Radiance, and are the targets of condemnation and hostility......

"In the same way, we also hope that you will allow the Ice Palace mages to have a spell exchange with our Arcane Federation, the Arcane Federation is committed to spreading the concept of arcane arts, and welcomes all kinds of mage organizations to join us with an extremely open attitude, the Northland Ice Palace is now the three major mage organizations in the continent, and we are very welcome to communicate with them......"

King Gusta quietly listened to the conditions of His Excellency Cecilia, and while tapping his finger lightly on the armrest of the throne, he muttered, and after a moment, he said in a deep voice: "I can forgive the mages for their past sins and give them the opportunity to walk freely in the Northlands, but all the mages must swear that they will abide by the laws of the kingdom in the Northlands and will not participate in any treason, treason, and all conspiracies against the Gusta family and the royal family." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, this condition is acceptable!"

"However, building an arcane academy in the Northland and openly recruiting magic apprentices will definitely not work!"

Although he agreed to give the mages an upright status, King Gusta flatly refused another request from the Arcane Federation.

The reason for agreeing to give the mage a legal official status is that the mage is a semi-public existence except in the area ruled by the Radiant Church, and as long as the mages do not infringe on the authority of the lord and the kingdom, the nobles and the kingdom will turn a blind eye to the existence of the mage, so there is nothing wrong with giving them legal status.

But the Magic Academy has a different meaning, which means that the Arcane Federation will have their tentacles deep into the Northlands. Think about it, who will a person who has been educated and studied in the Academy of Magic since he was a child be inclined to his position and thoughts, and whether his allegiance is to the king or the Arcane Federation?

At this point, the establishment of the Knight Academy, the gathering of knights to the Knight Academy, gathered under the king's banner, and gradually changed the custom of the lower vassals to be trained and studied in the upper aristocratic families, and quietly completed the centralization of the kingdom King Gusta, who knows the power contained in an academy best.

In the world of the aristocracy, whoever holds the minds of the knights has the most power. This principle is the same among mages.

"But what if the Arcane Academy is controlled by you, by the Gusta family?"

His Excellency Cecilia was not discouraged by King Gusta's categorical refusal, but continued with a smile: "Just like the Royal Knight Academy you opened, you or one of your princesses will be the dean, and everything in the academy can also be controlled by you and the Gusta family, and the Arcane Federation will only provide technical support and will not interfere with any operation of the school, so what about establishing a magic academy controlled by you and your family?"

"Since the Gusta family has been able to shelter the Ice Palace mage for thousands of years, they probably won't mind sheltering a new arcane academy!"

His Excellency Cecilia said this, and at the same time his eyes fell on Alicia and Eleni, and said seductively: "If any of your daughters becomes a Grand Arcanist like Your Excellency 'Tears of the Firmament', our Arcane Federation will gladly accept a companion on the arcane path, and the doors of the Supreme Council will be open for her!"

"This is indeed a very tempting condition!"

King Gusta couldn't help laughing, but there was also an obvious poisonous bait lurking in it, the Gusta family chose to shelter the Ice Palace mage back then, because the original mage was being hostile and encircled by all the countries on the mainland, except for the Gusta family, they had nowhere to go, and there was no other object to rely on.

And now, the Arcane Federation is a behemoth second only to the Church of Radiance, even if the Supreme Council opens the door to the Gusta family, but this infiltration and image are two-way, and in the end, who controls whom, who influences whom, the result is obvious.

"I need to think about it, though!"

King Gusta neither agreed nor objected, but simply shelved the issue: "I have received the goodwill of the Arcane Federation, and in the future, the mages of the Arcane Federation will be able to pass freely in the Northlands as long as they do not violate the laws of the kingdom." ”

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Although it seems that he did not convince the King of the Northland to cooperate with the Arcane Federation, Lord Cecilia did not dwell on this aspect, but instead said: "The Arcane Federation can sell magical items and equipment to the Northlands at a good price, and we also want to get some Northland specialties......"

Naturally, the first official contact between the two sides could not go too deep, but it can only be said that they had cordial and friendly talks, had a frank exchange of views on many aspects, and initially expressed goodwill and friendship.

"The scenery of the Northland is different from that of the Seven Kingdoms of the Strait, if a few masters are interested, they might as well stay in the Northland for a while and enjoy the scenery of the Northland!"

"I heard that the ice palace on the top of Mount Asgard is in the Arctic Circle, and you can see the most beautiful auroras, I wonder if we can visit it?"

Hearing this request from the envoy of the Arcane Federation, King Gusta couldn't help but groan for a while, and finally, he glanced at his daughter Alicia, nodded and said, "In that case, then my daughter Alicia will be the guide for you and lead you to the scenery of the northern country!"

"It's great to have the Pearl of the Northland, Your Excellency the Tears of the Sky with you!"

"An Arcane Primer!"

At this time, Alicia, who had been quiet and silent, suddenly took the initiative to speak and said, "A document on the mages of the Ancient Magic Empire to cover up their magic marks. ”

Lord Cecilia couldn't help but glance at Princess Alicia in surprise, not understanding why this young knight of destiny, who was famous on the continent for his genius, was interested in arcane and magic.

However, she didn't ask too much, neither the arcane introductory textbook nor the ancient magic empire mage's skills in concealing their own magic imprints were precious knowledge, and there was nothing wrong with giving it to a knight of destiny as a gift.

As for King Gusta, although he also wondered why his daughter was interested in arcane arts, as a legendary powerhouse, she naturally had willful and casual qualifications, and King Gusta would not ask much.

Lady Cecilia casually took out the bound book from the spatial ring, took out a blank white crystal, and infused it with the skill of the mage to conceal the mark of the Old Magic Empire, and gave it to Princess Alicia.

"Thank you!"

After accepting these things, Alicia made a rare opening and thanked Lady Cecilia.

His Excellency Cecilia was accustomed to it, and King Gusta and the other two legendary powerhouses of the royal family did not react.

Only Alie, who is most familiar with her sister, deeply feels that her sister has indeed undergone some changes this time. 8)
