Chapter 65: Topaz Dragon Palace
Chen Yi went home and continued to run the trading company, leaving the Grundler Paladins and his Kingdom knights to continue to worry a lot.
Wars in the Magic Continent are extremely frequent, and the vast territory and fertile soil have nurtured thousands of peoples and hundreds of countries. It was supposed to be a wonderful continent sent by heaven, but because of its large area, no country has ever been able to fully occupy it.
After a long separation, the friction between the borders has made the relations between the countries and races extremely tense, the very different worldviews of those in power have led to continuous conquest between countries, and the intensifying national struggle has always made peace always mixed between two wars.
In such an environment, even the nobles could not really get out of the fight. Battlefield skills are always the focus of boys' learning - those who are not good at mastering it are eliminated by natural selection.
The focus of everyone's attention was on killing skills, and the requirement of how to maintain a perfect body shape never seemed to have been raised.
Grundler spent the whole night pondering this question, and the next morning, he instructed: "Simon, you go and inform His Majesty the King and the Ministry of the Interior, and ask for the selection of all the noble men in the capital, and choose the better and taller among them, to form a training team, and ask to go to the magic tower within 1 day." In addition, everyone is required to write down their own workout methods. In addition, ask the mage to send someone to contact you. ”
The latter sentence was said to the worship mage in his house.
Although the kingdom mage holds his own noble status, he does not dare to make a mistake in front of the "saint" knights. Not to mention maintaining a relationship with the master, which is the main task now.
He and the Kingdom Knight hurriedly left the Paladin's Mansion and went to their respective destinations to inform them. Among them, Simon went straight to the palace. He is three levels higher than an ordinary knight, equivalent to the title of a viscount, and can enter and exit directly.
Still not satisfied, Grundler thought about it and said, "Then go find some famous and beautiful men in the kingdom to ask, and ask for yourself, and see what kind of physical skills they are exercising." There are not enough people, so go and ask a few of His Majesty's palace knights to come over. ”
"Yes." The crowd answered very neatly.
"Wait a minute." Before they could go far, the paladin called out to them again, saying, "You will gather 1,000 students between the ages of 16 and 20 from the Knight Academy to form two phalanxes and compare them with the soldiers below." ”
"Yes."
The knights of the kingdom had all left, and Grundler himself came to Timothy's office, saluted, and said, "Your Excellency, Grand Magician, I want to talk to the mages of the Topaz Dragon Temple. ”
The Topaz Dragon Hall is a legendary place on the mainland, and the knights of the kingdom can only get the title of "saint" if they pass their assessment and declare their allegiance.
In return, in addition to having a status equivalent to that of the ** division, the paladins are more immune to low-level magic, and have a high resistance to medium- and high-level magic, becoming veritable land tanks.
Timothy grabbed the white quill and meticulously copied a low-level magic scroll until the last symbol was completed, and said slowly: "Don't mention 'master', can you do it?" ”
"What if the Topaz Dragon Hall asks?" Paladins cannot lie to the Topaz Dragon Temple, otherwise they will be considered lacking in virtue and the title of "Saint" will be revoked.
Timothy shook his head slightly, and instead of answering his question, he said, "Unless you promise me as a knight, I will not connect you to the Topaz Dragon Palace." ”
Grundler was not surprised by his request, but explained: "I have some problems with the master's requirements, and perhaps the Topaz Dragon Hall can inspire you. ”
By implication, it is quite possible to mention the master.
Timothy's expression did not change at all, and he only said: "The kingdom of San Chio is facing an opportunity to return to glory, and the master is our greatest reliance. ”
With that, he continued to copy the scroll.
Grundler waited quietly.
A fourth-level scroll was completed in an instant, followed by another one.
After using up all the ink on the table, Timothy put down the quill, wiped his hands, and enjoyed the smell of the fresh magic scroll.
Since the day he became an apprentice in magic, the Magic Tower had never had such an abundance of scroll materials.
Nowadays, the mages at home have become the main daily work of copying scrolls, especially the middle and low-level scrolls, and thousands of people are concentrated to copy with all their might, and the scroll materials in the treasury are still increasing.
And with the increase in the kingdom's inventory, the mages on all fronts received more than three times the supply of scrolls before the war - for the magicians who lived forever, three times the magic scrolls almost meant that they were invincible at the same level.
After nearly 10 years of continuous war, the rival kingdoms, including the Duchy of Cyberboga, are about to reach the point of exhaustion, and the idle mages have no resources to buy new ones except for one or two scrolls that save their lives. On the Western Front, where the battle was fierce, whenever the mages encountered the group of Sancchio mages who relied on the scroll cluster to attack, they could almost only choose the tactic of turning and running, otherwise once they were entangled, the result of exhausting the scrolls would be to wait for the end to come in a long-winded spell.
If it weren't for the fact that the absolute strength of each country far surpassed that of Saint Qiao, and it could still be maintained by relying on the mode of high-level mages fighting low-level, it would have collapsed a long time ago.
Contemplating the changes in recent months, Timothy said slowly, "Grundler Paladin, I would like to suspend the next rotation and let you continue to be stationed in the capital. ”
"However, Samuel Paladin has been out for a year." The eight-foot-tall Grundler is like a brown bear with a delicate heart, and even if he can complete his current mission, he is more willing to squander his blood on the battlefield.
Timothy shook his head slightly and said, "Your Excellency Paladin, do you know how many scroll materials we have obtained during this time?" ”
Grundler shook his head, it was the top secret of the Mage Tower.
"It's worth 67 million gold coins, and it's just a scroll of paper for crystal screen judgment. Among them, the high-grade scroll materials are simply not available to money. Timothy said and asked, "Do you know what would happen if the Master continued to supply us with materials for three months?" ”
Grundler continued to shake his head.
"Every Kingdom Knight can be equipped with a mid-level scroll to save their lives, every knight in formal clothes can be equipped with a low-level anti-magic scroll, and every knight can be supported by a large scroll......" Timothy stared into Grundler's eyes and said, "Do you understand the meaning?" ”
How could Grundler not understand, he gritted his teeth tightly and said, "We will have the strongest knight order in the continent. ”
"And with the fewest casualties." Timothy added, only to smile slightly.
Grundler's eyes flashed at a companion who had died on the battlefield.
After a long time, he finally drew his long sword, half-knelt on the ground, and said solemnly: "In the name of a knight, I promise that I will not leak and talk about everything about the master. ”
Timothy nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Go and talk to the divine envoys of the Topaz Dragon Palace, I think you already have a clear understanding." ”
Grundler bowed and stepped away from the archmagician's newly opened office area.
In another world, Chen Yi, who is the center of the conversation, is busy doing trivial things before opening.
High-frequency trading itself is quite simple, except for the use of a mainframe computer and a full-time accountant, a company that has just started to operate high-frequency trading is theoretically not much different from an individual investor.
However, even for the most basic five-person company, Chen Yi is difficult to make up. The accountant and two traders can be recruited by the American branch, but the head of the American branch still does not know how to sigh under that leaf.
Chen Yi thought about it, but decided to dig into the corner of the Chen Group.
The Chen Group, which was once brilliant and is not bad now, has many senior talents who have studied and even worked in the United States, and it is more than enough to take on the responsibility of the head of a branch.
What he values most is the personnel system within the group, because it is a local enterprise in Jiangning, the employees in the group basically know the roots, saving him the trouble of not having a personnel organization, after all, he is operating a financial company in a foreign country. Although I don't have personal access to funds, after all, I am circling around them, and the requirements are higher.
Chen Yi picked for two days, and finally went to his group to inquire about information behind his father's back, and then secretly interviewed three or four people.
What he did was not secretive at all, but Father Chen never thought he knew.
So, finally, under the temptation of the young master of the Chen family, coupled with the bright prospect of high annual salary and high-frequency trading, a deputy manager who has joined the group for three years but has never had the opportunity to be promoted fell into Chen Yi's net.
Of course, the main reason why Mr. Tang Xiongfei entered the urn was the name of "Little Master of the Chen Family".
If there is no big brand of the Chen Group, no reputation of the Chen family and the good reputation accumulated by Chen Congyu for many years, an offshore company opened by a half-sized son wants to hire a professional manager, it is definitely a dream. Even recent graduates who will never find a job have to consider the world's bizarre crooks and the perilous journey across the Pacific Ocean.
As for now, Tang Xiongfei is just reporting the mentality of gambling and joining the small Jinyuan International Company, which is a choice without choice, just like the countryside surrounding the city.
The day after he completed the formalities and officially joined Jinyuan International, Chen Yi returned home and could see the scene of his mother and father gathered at home.
