Chapter 261: Surrender
Xia He thought about it, although Austin was unreliable, he could still do a good job in investigating the case. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he is Taling, and his computing power far exceeds that of Cotton Jack, and he can analyze things from a large amount of data.
Taling originally had this job, but he had a goddess available, so he never used the function of Taling.
"Jack, there's some spell work that you can leave to Austin, and he's just idle. Xia He added to Austin by the way.
Austin doesn't complain, in addition to his own computing power, he can also use the power of the magic tower to assist in calculations, anyway, it's work, it's not bad.
Xia He chases away Austin and continues to talk to Cotton Jack about magic.
Cotton Jack's qualifications are similar to Xia He's current students in the Tenth Academy of Magic, but he was unlucky, he was born in the Southern Seas, and he had no chance to enter the Academy of Magic.
Xia He instructed him, which was different from the student, and would not involve the problem of Taoism, it was pure magic in this world.
However, Xiahe is strategic, and after seeing through many things, he will naturally be different from others, and it will be different from what is in books.
Cotton Jack's own magic, Xia He deconstructs it directly from the core of magic, so that Cotton Jack can understand it at once, and he can naturally dig deep things in the future.
What Xia He needs to do now is to strengthen the strength of his subordinates, as well as the ambitions of his subordinates, and then naturally there will be a large number of people to serve him.
At the beginning, the imperial family was like this, concentrating resources, improving the strength of the core of the royal family, and leaving the rest of the things to his subordinates, and then in a short time, it swept through the northern part of the continent.
Although Xia He felt that his subordinates had a problem with their brains, they were already characters who could take charge on their own.
For example, Cotton Jack already has a twenty-first level and doesn't know much magic, but each of them is quite solid, even better than some lecturers at the Tenth Academy of Magic. If Cotton Jack can advance to the epic, he can lead a group of mages alone.
There are actually only four nobles sent by the Arcane Empire, and the rest of the officials are at most from aristocratic families, just like the noble knights of Xiahe, who don't have any titles themselves.
The entire bureaucratic system, there are 330 people, and Xia He has to invite them to the banquet.
After the expansion of the government hall, officials from the Arcane Empire worked in the newly built place, and did not dare to go to the previous building. After all, the previous batch of officials died, and they all felt unlucky.
Freya sent three hundred and thirty blank notes as invitations to the feast tomorrow evening, in the lord's house of Asra. These people from the empire are not calm anymore.
The last time Freya held a banquet, the people sent by the empire were all finished.
The four imperial barons gathered together to discuss whether or not to attend the banquet.
The youngest baron sat in the center seat, and the other three all lowered their heads and thought about things, and the young baron was a little angry and said, "Do you have any ideas?"
"Macbeth, Your Majesty is asking you to preside over the affairs of Cape Storm, and we are just following orders. ”
The young baron was so angry that he said angrily: "Didn't you say that at the beginning, everyone came to do things for the sake of the empire, and now you want to shirk responsibility?"
The three barons looked at each other speechlessly, not wanting to answer such a question.
Macbeth got up angrily and walked out of the room, never looking back, before the three imperial barons began to communicate.
"The Blood Mage doesn't know what to say, but tomorrow as long as there is trouble, it will be blamed on Macbeth, what do you two think?"
"Glinsky, I agree, Marlene, what about you?"
The baroness looked a little nervous in her forties, and she nodded, "Glinsky, Pete, I don't have any opinion. ”
Macbeth walked out of the government hall building, feeling cold in his heart, after he came to Cape Storm, he was fine at first, and then he was gradually overshadowed by three men.
He tried his best to do things, but there were so many government officials, none of them listened to him, he was like a stamp, when he used it, he used it to cover, and when it was useless, it was like it didn't exist.
The magic tower doesn't matter, the lord's mansion has always been empty, and the blood mage's energy is focused on the empire.
What can I do? Lynch sent troops to fight Dragon Island, Glinsky and they did a good job, there was no problem with the logistics and the like, the entire lord's palace system was operating normally, and he couldn't go to the emperor to complain.
Besides, it's too far away, and there is no one who has cronies, how can I sue?
Macbeth gritted his teeth, quickened his pace, and headed straight for the magic tower. When I came, I was still ambitious, and now I can't bear to get out.
Besides, the temper of the blood mage doesn't seem to allow you to get out of here.
The last time he tried to challenge his authority, all died.
It was already midnight, and Macbeth stood in front of the magic tower, anxiously waiting. It stands to reason that he is also from a famous family, and he has also studied in the Nine Academies, I don't know why, he will be mixed up like today.
Where is the problem with the empire, or is it simply not possible on its own?
Inside the gate of the magic tower, an apprentice of four or five years old walked out and said to Macbeth: "The teacher is busy, if you must see it, come in and wait." ”
"Good, good. Macbeth followed the apprentice into the magic tower and into the large living room.
The huge table was empty, and the apprentice made him a pot of tea and said, "Don't walk around, the teacher will naturally meet you when he has time." ”
"How long will that take?"
"If it's fast, it will take an hour. If you're bored, I can find you two books to pass the time. ”
"Thank you very much. Macbeth touched his side and found that he didn't have a money bag with him.
Seeing that he was embarrassed, the apprentice smiled and said, "You wait, I'll come in a while." ”
Macbeth sat down at the table, and after a while, the apprentice returned, holding three books in his hand, and placed them in front of him, saying, "If you finish reading these three books, the adults will definitely come." ”
"Thank you, thank you. Macbeth couldn't get the reward, so he could only thank him verbally. The apprentice exited the living room, and Macbeth looked at the three books in front of him, namely "The Law of Nobility", "Dragon Slayer", and "God King". Macbeth couldn't laugh or cry, and the books his apprentice gave him were all novels.
But there was nothing to do anyway, so when it was upsetting, Macbeth opened a book and read it quickly. He is a fifteenth-level magician, and he has not been promoted since he graduated, but he has a solid foundation, his mental power is still strong, and his reading speed is several times faster than that of ordinary people.
The novel is unexpectedly good-looking, Macbeth himself is a magician, and he finds that the descriptions of magic, otherworldly creatures and alien races in the book are very vivid and definitely not understandable to ordinary people.
However, he has never seen a dragon, and he doesn't know how much of the description of the dragon in Dragon Slayer is true.
In the blink of an eye, when he was about to finish watching the God King, someone suddenly spoke in his ear: "How is it, is it still good-looking?"
Macbeth looked up and saw a magician younger than himself, tall and dressed in half of his blood-red magic robes.
"Lord Lord!" Macbeth quickly got up and saluted the magician in front of him.
"You're welcome, sit. ”
Macbeth put down his book and saw that the young lord had pulled up a chair and sat down beside him, and he sat down with trepidation. I couldn't remember all the words I had before I came.
Xia Hedao: "What are you looking for me?"
Macbeth gritted his teeth and said, "Come and take refuge." ”
"Take refuge?"
"I want to be a retainer for adults. ”
Xia He smiled and said to Macbeth, "If I'm not mistaken, are you from the Odin family?"
"Yes, but although I am a direct line, the title does not come from the family, and I have no inheritance rights in the Odin family. ”
"What did you do to take refuge in me? Let me think, is it that you have achieved nothing here in Stormwind?"
Macbeth's blood poured upwards, his face turned red, and he said, "They squeezed out me, and I have no real power, and none of my subordinates can control it." ”
"And what do I want you for?"
Xia He's words were particularly hurtful, and he looked into Macbeth's eyes, wanting to know what this young nobleman would say.
"I can't control my men because I don't have authority. His Majesty the Emperor has sent me here only to assist your lordship, and all authority comes from you, the lord. There are more than 300 people, none of whom have anything to do with me, and since I have no right to reward and punish, of course I can't control them. ”
"You're saying that if I give you power, you'll be able to make them obey?"
Macbeth was stunned and didn't answer immediately, he thought for a while before he said: "That's not necessarily, I don't know who the other three barons are, they are different from me, they are all new nobles, and the title is only in themselves, only one generation." They will definitely want to climb higher, and such people are the easiest to be co-opted. ”
"I don't want to waste time. Xia He said lightly.
"I have the Odin family behind me, no one is trying to win me over, they have no background, they can take refuge in anyone, or they can refuge in you, an adult. ”
"Let them betray the people behind them?"
Macbeth suddenly thought of the novel he had just seen, the law of aristocracy.
In that book, the question of loyalty is mentioned. If a person betrays his lord and goes to another lord, he will pay a high price if he wants to improve his status in the future.
No one likes a betrayer, but everyone wants everyone to be loyal to them.
Xia He smiled, stood up, and said to Macbeth: "If you are willing to be loyal to me, then come with me now, I am not interested in the others." ”
Macbeth was stunned, he stood up in a daze, and followed Xia He, not understanding why he had passed the test of the blood mage.
Xia He actually doesn't want to waste time, loyal people, he definitely has.
Freya will create a god general for him, as long as the army can be controlled, the mage group can be controlled, the problem of local governance is not a problem, sooner or later he will build a Taoist palace, and the whole world will be covered with Taoist temples.
When the time comes, what does it mean if you are loyal or not?
The whole world is under the watchful eye of the gods.
