"I don't think His Majesty's words are entirely unreasonable. Xiao Chen said.

The magic power in Luo Ling's hand was bright and dark, flickering and flickering, making her look a little shaken.

The king blushed and looked at the ice and snow as if he were a knife on his neck. He was afraid and resentful in his heart, and secretly thought to himself that as long as he survived the current hurdle, he must make these Montenegrins look good.

"You say, how are you going to compensate us?" Luo Ling finally spoke.

"You stopped Demian's plot and saved my life, and you haven't allowed him to hurt more civilians yet. I am willing to pay you three thousand golden axes and one hundred magic crystals of various colors as a thank you. ”

Luo Ling looked at him without saying a word, which made the king nervous again, and he looked at Xiao Chen with an expression of asking for help. Xiao Chen said: "Your Majesty, my companion His Excellency Luo Ling and Demian faced off, but he was injured. ”

"Yes, and you can also extract two hundred potions of various potions from the Royal Alchemy Workshop. The king immediately added.

"We've also consumed several scrolls, some of which are rare. Xiao Chen said again.

"Of course, there are fifty scrolls, and the rank is calculated according to what you consume. The king replied, sneering secretly in his heart, these things are all casually said, and if they don't admit it when the time comes, what can they do?

"In order to prevent this kind of incident in the future, we need some materials to study Demian's magic tricks this time. ”

"I can prepare a laboratory for you in the Royal Magic Tower, and provide you with the materials you need for a year's experiments for free. The most advanced library will be open to you, and you will be able to use it as you study it. The king said very consciously.

"You have no problem with us keeping the Gathering Spirit Register?" Xiao Chen asked.

"No, it's something that belongs to mages. The Kingdom's approach to these matters has always been simple, and that is to leave it to the mages themselves. We never interfere in the legacy of the mage, or in the affairs of the inner workings of the Mage Tower. The king said.

"I think the attitude of the king is not bad. Xiao Chen said to Luo Ling.

"These are all floating wealth, and the affairs of the territory are what really matter. Luo Ling said.

"What's the matter with the territory? The king felt that his life had finally been picked up, and his spirit was better than before, and his fighting spirit had almost been exhausted when he fought against the invasion of energy, and now he had recovered a little. You can start healing with a slight movement.

"Okay. That...... I'll just make one more request?" Xiao Chen said.

"Of course, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you. The king's expression was sincere.

"According to previous rumors, you were going to give us a piece of land as a fief for the magic family. ”

"That's right, you'll be treated like a magical family, and the patriarch has the title of magic lord. ”

Xiao Chen had long heard Tasia say that the magic lord and magic knight were a very special kind of nobles, who were listed outside the title of duke and uncle, and were only loyal to the royal family, and had no subordinate relationship with other nobles. The Magic Lord is a hereditary title, equivalent to the leader of a magic family, and the magic knight is not hereditary, and each member of the magic family who becomes a member of the low-level mage family automatically receives the title of magic knight.

Not only did these titles enjoy the treatment of nobility in many places, but they also exempted ordinary nobles from errand and military service, and they were less taxed, all that was required was to provide a sufficient amount of magical service to the kingdom each year. It can be said that it is more valuable than the titles of ordinary nobles.

"In this matter, I hope that the king will give us the treatment of the magic tower. ”

"Magic Tower? According to the rules of your magical world, only great magicians are qualified to build towers, right? This is not something I can interfere with as a king. What is needed is the approval of the wizarding world. ”

"No, you're mistaken, I'm not trying to build a tower, I'm hoping to be treated like a magic tower. ”

The biggest difference between the magic tower and the magic family is that the magic tower exists beyond the country, although most of the magic towers cooperate with the country where they are located, and will also provide services to the country, but in essence, they are in a cooperative relationship with the country. But the magic family is the nobility that belongs to a country. Although the big magic families, such as the Tasia family, are more powerful than some of the smaller magic towers, it is difficult for the royal family to really control them. But at least nominally, they were all vassals of the king.

Therefore, the degree of freedom of the magic tower is greater than that of the magic family, and when the king needs magic help, he does not have the right to require the mages of the magic tower to serve, but must be hired.

The king's gaze swayed between Xiao Chen and Luo Ling. He wanted to refuse this excessive request outright, but he was really afraid that the female mage would threaten his life again.

"This is likely to cause resentment from the big families. After all, your strength is not yet there. ”

"It's just me who doesn't have the strength, not my inheritance. Your Majesty, don't look at me yet, but my mentors are many times stronger than me. They just haven't found our place yet. Once they get here, you'll be amazed at how powerful they are, and even the Sage of Sasso is inferior to them in many ways. ”

"Really?" said the king.

"Of course. Anyone who has seen our castle can feel the power behind it, and no one will deny it. ”

"Okay. I agree. ”

At this time, Luo Ling spoke: "Your Majesty, are you sure to give Xiao Chen and the Black Mountain Mage the right equivalent to the Magic Tower?"

The king was a little surprised by the change in her tone, but nodded anyway, "Of course, I'm sure. ”

"Good. Your Majesty, my companion should be satisfied, too. It seems that it is time for us to take our leave. Xiao Chen said with a smile.

The king was not accustomed to the change in their attitude: "What tricks are you playing?"

Before Xiao Chen could answer, a voice came from the entrance of the cave. It was Garno who arrived with the priests and samurai, along with Usetta and the White Eagle squad, as well as several mages from the Royal Magic Tower.

"Your Excellency Xiao Chen, it's really you! These rooms are filled with an evil aura, what the hell is going on? It's good that we dispersed the crazy people above, otherwise they would have died if the magic broke out at the end. As he spoke, Garneau saw the king sitting on the stone platform, and he made a surprised expression and saluted the king, "I have seen His Majesty, why are you here?"

Usetta saw Xiao Chen but asked happily: "My lord, you are really right, I know that you can succeed, you must have saved Your Majesty, right?"

Xiao Chen touched his nose and said, "It's almost like the evil mage kidnapped the king and was rescued by me and Luo Ling." For this, the king also rewarded us with a large amount of money, and promised to give us the treatment of the magic tower. ”

"Wait a minute. The king said coldly, "Although you have saved me, you must not talk nonsense, how come I do not remember to promise such a thing?"

"Don't worry!" Xiao Chen interrupted him, he was not surprised that the king had paid the debt, and took out the mobile phone that had been recording from his sleeve.

"You made too many promises, I'm afraid you won't remember them, so I used this prop to record them for you. As soon as he pressed play, the voices of Luo Ling and the king sounded in the room:

- Your Majesty, are you sure that you will give Xiao Chen and the Black Mountain Mage the same rights as the Magic Tower?

- Of course, I'm sure.
