Chapter 202: Court Magician
Jose's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered a mysterious group that Su Ya had mentioned to him: court magicians!
In the hundreds of years of history of the Empire of Light, there are countless legends, and the most mysterious group in the palace is not the "Night Guardrail" Knights, but a team of magicians!
Court magicians!This is the name given to this group by the outside world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a force that has always been in the hands of the Emperor himself, and like the Night Palace, it is loyal to the Emperor himself, and does not belong to the Imperial Military Department or any other organization. But in terms of its function, it is even more important than the Night Palace.
The court magician has always been an important force in defending the palace and even the imperial capital, and it can even be said that it is one of the palace's ace defense forces.
Legend has it that this team of magicians was founded at the beginning of the empire by the founding emperor Maude the Great. Although the power of the mages is strong, and the various empires are constantly cooperating with these guys, their otherworldly status and power may not necessarily have much loyalty to the royal family.
Even the magicians recruited by some wealthy families now are supported by good people on weekdays, just like guests. However, the allegiance of magicians to them is mostly only based on material things, and if it really comes to any critical juncture, you can't expect these magicians who are usually high up in the world to fight for their allegiance.
One of the most striking examples comes from the early days of the country, when the empire put down the rebellion in Lingbei. It is said that when Lingbei was not included in the empire, it was ruled by several ancient local families, and in order to cope with the pressure of the army of the Bright Empire, these families mobilized the magicians recruited by their respective clans to help.
At the beginning, although it once had the upper hand, after Emperor Maude recruited the Magic Guild to join, the magic strength of the Imperial Army surpassed that of the magicians in the Lingbei area. When the magicians who had recruited saw that the situation was grim, they fled the battlefield one after another. Some magicians even turned their guns and joined the side of the Magic Union, directly killing the Lingbei family that had recruited them for many years.
And afterwards, these magicians were only held accountable by the Magic Guild for reasons of detachment from the secular law, and they were only punished in some senseless ways.
After Emperor Maude pacified the continent, he always attached great importance to the cultivation of magical powers, but he also deeply realized that if he relied on this kind of magician, he might not be able to gain any loyalty at all. So it took him almost twenty years at all costs to finally build a team of magicians who belonged to him and were loyal to the royal family.
Legend has it that this group of magicians is not affiliated with any department, not even under the jurisdiction of the Magic Guild, and is only loyal to the Emperor himself, specializing in some secret missions. What is even more rare is that this team of magicians was not only not drowned in history with the death of Maude the Great, but was deliberately preserved by successive emperors.
After hundreds of years of history, this group of magicians has become one of the most mysterious groups in the palace.
From ancient times to the present, no one knows how this team of magicians has been passed down for hundreds of years, how they are selected, how they are produced, and outsiders do not know. The only thing that is certain is that this is a private magical force that is absolutely loyal to the imperial family, and its magic system is no different from continental magic, but in terms of loyalty, it far surpasses most magicians!
The characteristics of court magicians are also very clear, they don't have too many ranks, they don't wear gray robes and white robes, and they don't even participate in the level assessment of the magic union! They will only be arranged into the team of court magicians after their strength is recognized, and the strength of these guys is unquestionable.
The last time these guys were seen was during the Northwest War more than twenty years ago, when they were called up by His Majesty the Emperor and joined the army to fight. More than a dozen court magicians were sent to the northwest to assist the Empire's army in repelling the Macedonian army, and even played a key role in the final pursuit!
Although these guys are magicians, they are highly disciplined and obedient, almost indistinguishable from ordinary soldiers. And their ghostly figures and their own magic make many magicians a little afraid.
According to the memories of some of the magicians who came with them, these men were all dressed in red robes and used extremely strange magic. But the only thing that is certain is that their magical strength is very strong, and they are basically above the middle level. It is likely that the two court magicians in the lead have even reached a high level of strength......
Thinking of this, Joseph looked at the red-robed guy again: a pointed horned hat, a gorgeous red robe, powerful spiritual power and magic ...... These all show the identity of this guy!
can appear next to the emperor so freely, and the strength is so terrifying, I am afraid that he is not only a leader among court magicians, but also a trusted henchman of the emperor!
When Jose thought of this, he was not afraid in his heart, but felt a little strong grievance and unwillingness: although that guy didn't attack him just now, he forced himself so embarrassed just by relying on the momentum and oppression he exuded!!
Jose even felt that if this guy was willing, with his strength, he could kill himself at any time with just a move of his fingers! Such a sense of humiliation made Jose feel very unhappy, but in the next moment, he saw a faint mockery in the emperor's eyes......
Is this guy deliberately shocking himself?!
Jose's heart tightened, and the anger in his heart suddenly receded a little, and after thinking about it again, he didn't hesitate, took a deep breath, and lowered his head respectfully.
He simply put away all the spiritual power tentacles on his body, thus exposing himself to the spiritual power lock of the palace magician. Joseph could even feel that, in addition to the mysterious court magician, the direction of the emperor was also sweeping towards him with a somewhat fierce gaze.
Sure enough, after a moment's pause, Qiao Se felt the pressure on his body relax, and when he looked up again, the court magician had already withdrawn his spiritual power. The creature retreated silently into the shadows in the corner of the wall like an object without any breath.
"You're a clever fellow! If you had dared to show the slightest hostility just now, I'm afraid you wouldn't have stood in front of me so easily!"
José heard the voice of the ruler of the empire for the first time, and he couldn't help but glance up at the emperor, only to find that Montevia was also looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
