Chapter 131: Carlo IX
After Lorraine and the others came back, although they were repeatedly questioned by Lorraine, Yak did not explain, and the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It's not that Ark doesn't want the people around him to become spellcasters, but because they can't even reach the most basic mental power conditions.
For example, Lorraine, Yak had actually passed on the crystal meditation method to him a long time ago, but Lorraine was never able to practice the crystal meditation method, and his spiritual power naturally could not be improved.
Ark has personally experienced the construction of spell models, so he knows very well how important mental power is when building spell models, and people who lack mental power cannot build spell models at all, and self-love cannot become a spellcaster.
According to Ark's observations, none of Lorraine, Uncle Reiner, Celie, Desai, Little Amy, Aunt Amanda and others can meet the conditions to become spellcasters.
The caster also needs talent, but its talent is not in the body, no matter how bad the body is, it can be raised to the limit through potions, and it can barely withstand the elements entering the body. But mental power is a crucial factor, very crucial, without mental power, you can't become a spellcaster.
Therefore, the talent of the caster is in mental power, and Ark has seen so many people, perhaps Spark and Ukas are slightly stronger in mental power, and they can meet the conditions of the caster.
Even the original Cologne teacher's mental strength was very reluctant, and it was a question of whether he could successfully practice the crystal meditation method, let alone become a spellcaster.
Since none of the people around him have the talent to become spellcasters, Ark doesn't need to let them know about spellcasters, because these things are far away from them, and what Ark needs to do is to silently protect them and not let the tragedy of Mr. Cologne repeat itself.
As a result, Yak frantically expanded the Avenger mercenary group in the next time, which was already a large mercenary group, and the standard Avenger mercenary group was actually not suitable for expansion, 10,000 people per mercenary group, this is actually the best configuration, otherwise, there are too many people, which is not conducive to the operation of the mercenary group.
But although the mercenary group of 10,000 people is a big force, Ark still feels that it is not enough, and his solution is very simple, that is, to establish a second mercenary group, called the Guardian Mercenary Group.
As for the previous Avengers mercenary group, Ark also gave up the position of leader, because in order to exert the real combat power of a mercenary group, it is necessary to delegate power. After comprehensive consideration, Ark gave the position of head of the Avengers mercenary group to Retdo.
After all, Retdo has put a lot of effort into the establishment of the Avengers Mercenary Group, and has also made many contributions, and Celery, Uncle Reiner and others are far inferior to Retdo's prestige in the Avengers Mercenary Group. Nayak simply pushed the boat down the river and gave the position of regiment commander to Retdo.
As for the Guardian Mercenary Group, Ark let Celie, Uncle Reiner and others continue to compete, and whoever can make the greatest contribution to the Guardian Mercenary Group will be the Guardian Mercenary Group.
As for the control of the two mercenary groups, in fact, Ark is not worried, there are people in both mercenary groups who absolutely support Ark, and they are both in high positions. Moreover, the expenses, equipment, and potions of the two mercenary groups were all supplied by the apothecary workshop, and these various means were enough for Ark to control the two mercenary groups under his command.
Since the formation of the Guardian Mercenary Group, its expansion has greatly exceeded Ark's imagination. Perhaps with the Avengers mercenary group as an example, countless mercenaries have flocked to the Guardian mercenary group, they have already missed the first time, but they don't want to miss the second chance.
In fact, the reason is very simple, the treatment that Ark gives to the members of the mercenary group is almost the best among all the mercenary groups, which is also because the potion workshop has a lot of money, even if it is more than enough to support two or three large mercenary groups.
At this rate, I'm afraid that in a few months, the Guardian Mercenary Group will be able to expand to full strength. If all goes well, Ark can even use the force of the mercenary group to escort the potion workshop in the future, and continue to expand to other kingdoms, eventually spreading throughout the continent.
At that time, the forces gathered around Ark may be a behemoth that is not inferior to any kingdom, but all this will take time, and who can say clearly about the future? Even Ark does not dare to say that he can grasp the future, he can only try his best to plan the future, and strive for the future to develop according to his own plan.
While Ark was looking forward to the future, planning the power of the Potion Workshop and the Mercenary Regiment, in the distant palace of the Blue Star Kingdom, Count Soros was reporting to King Carlo IX of the Blue Star Kingdom about his investigation in the Duchy of Fennan.
"Your Majesty, the result of my investigation is that Archduke Fernant was delusional about recovering the kingdom, and a man who claimed to be a spellcaster bewitched Archduke Fernan, only to be killed by Ark, Spark, and Ucas. Maybe they didn't know that there were several guards in the palace who witnessed all this, and that spellcaster, Rik'an, was really killed by three ordinary people!"
Count Soros is telling the results of his investigation in detail, if there is Ark or Archduke Fernant at this time, they must be surprised, it turns out that they thought they have dealt with it cleanly, but they did not expect to be investigated by Count Soros clearly.
"Spellcaster ......"
The young King Carlo IX was a powerful monarch, he succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen, and now it has been a full twenty years, and in the past twenty years, the Blue Star Kingdom has become stronger and stronger under his leadership, and has almost become the strongest kingdom in the Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance. He even took advantage of this invasion of the Wesker Empire to annex the Kingdom of Finan.
But despite his great talent, Carlo IX, who was already thirty-three years old, seemed to have felt a little lacking in energy, since ancient times kings did not live long, his father died before he was forty years old, and it was very good that the kings of other royal families could live to be fifty years old.
Carlo IX had great ambitions, he was ambitious, he wanted to live longer, and even he had been secretly sending people to look for traces of the caster. He was convinced that the caster did exist, but he never found a trace of the caster.
Now that the spellcaster had actually appeared, Lalo IX was very excited. He looks for spellcasters unlike others, who are obsessed with the powerful and magical power that the caster has, and he, as a king, and thirst for great power, he has an elite army, and no matter how strong the caster is, in the eyes of Carlo IX, his army can sweep through any spellcaster.
He was interested in the secret of the caster's immortality, and the legendary caster lived a long life, hundreds or even thousands of years, which undoubtedly had a strong attraction to Carlo IX.
"So, Ark and Spark got something from Rick the Spellcaster?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, they got what Rickian was. ”
Count Soros is very in awe of Carlo IX in front of him, in fact, in the Blue Star Kingdom, no one dares not to be in awe of the king in front of him.
"Ark Andrinor, the owner of the potion workshop, and a large mercenary group of tens of thousands of people, and even the corrosive potions currently used by our army are also from Ark? ”
Carlo IX frowned.
"Your Majesty, do you want to use the Shadow Guards?"
Soros asked cautiously.
"Not for the time being, the kingdom is currently at war with the Wesk Empire, and the corrosive potion can ensure that the kingdom army has the upper hand, if there is no corrosive potion, it will be very unfavorable to the kingdom army. Wait, wait until the war with the Wesk Empire is over, and then settle Ark and Spark together, and when the time comes, the things they get from the spellcaster will be in my hands! ”
Carlo IX made a decision quickly, he still knew the priorities of the matter, Ark's corrosive potion was very important to the current Blue Star Kingdom, so it was not suitable to deal with Ark, not to mention that Ark still had tens of thousands of troops, so he should not act rashly.
But Carlo IX was patient, he always did what he wanted to do, and he always succeeded, and he was convinced that when the war with the Wesk Empire was over, he would be able to deal with Ark and Spark easily, and no one, no power could stop him! )
