Chapter 21: The Knights' Hall and the Magicians' Guild

"Not bad."

"The Knight Hall is a knight organization led by the government and established mainly by the five knights of the kingdom, all knights must be registered and subject to the jurisdiction of the Knight Hall, and they must go to the Knight Hall every month to meditate to prevent mutations."

"Correspondingly, the Knight Hall will provide each knight with a monthly allowance ranging from £10 to £20."

"The Knight's Hall will issue missions to help other official organizations catch some fugitives, madmen, and cultists, so as to obtain high bounties and rewards."

"The Knight's Hall controls the potion recipes and most of the main materials from the low to medium ranks, and as long as you accumulate enough merits, you can exchange everything including potions in the Knights' Palace."

In the circle of the extraordinary, the low sequence refers to sequence 9-sequence 7, the middle sequence refers to sequence 6-sequence 5, and from sequence 4 onwards is the high sequence, that is, the level of the sage.

The Marquis of Bach seriously introduced some information about the Knights' Hall to Hodge.

"Knights who are awarded the Order of the Order of the Knight's Palace, even the lowest rank of the Bronze Medal, are given additional status and are treated above ordinary citizens."

"O'Neill and Besimo are the Bronze Knights awarded by the Knights' Palace."

Hodge nodded slightly, indicating understanding: "Father, what about the Wizards' Guild?" What's going on over there? ”

"The Magician Association, originally founded by magicians at the sage level, after years of development, it has become a huge organization, due to the large number of people in the organization, the frequency of exchanging materials is very high, it is difficult to supervise, there have been several times because of extraordinary material transactions, which led to the users frantically slaughtering civilians, and finally the high-level of the kingdom ordered to send the kingdom magicians to the magicians association, to manage all affairs, and to register the magicians."

Marquis Bach continued: "At this point, the Magicians' Association has also become a kind of official power, because the Sequence 9 of the Magician's path is called the Apothecary, who is good at refining potions, and many commissions within the kingdom are entrusted to the Magicians' Association, so the Magician's status in the kingdom is very high, and he is not under the knighthood of the title. ”

"It is a very honorable thing to be able to enter the Magician Association in the kingdom, it is almost equivalent to worrying about food and clothing, but refining potions is enough for civilians and citizens to live a rich life."

"But it's a pity that the mutation of the potion is too dangerous, even if it is swallowed by Sequence 9, there is a high probability of mutation into a monster, and there are not so many potions for the vast majority of people to take, so the number of people who can become magicians is still rare."

"Many people who don't have a family background don't have the opportunity to become a Sequence 9 pharmacist in their lifetime, and similarly, even if they want to become apprentices and study in the Wizards' Guild, they are not qualified."

"The Magician Association, in every city, has a common name, the Apothecary Association, and the name of the magician is concealed in order to hide the essence of magician cultivation from the common people and maintain the stability of various regions and families."

"A pharmacist is respected everywhere."

"And the essence of the identity of the pharmacist is that he is a magician who controls powerful magic."

"Wizards have corresponding magic robes, magic wands, flying broomsticks, and other items, all of which can be purchased at the Magic Association."

After listening to Marquis Bach's narration, Hodge thoroughly understood the underlying logic of the wizard path, which became the official support for the sequence path.

First of all, the cake is not enough, and the more people who divide it, the less the cake will eat.

The most effective way to ensure that the people at the top of the pyramid can eat the biggest cake possible is to reduce the number of people and control the number of extraordinary people.

This method is to manipulate the Magician Association, register all magicians, prohibit them from leaking potion formulas, manage them in a unified manner, control the price, control the magicians, and let them work for the Empire for potion materials and money.

At the same time, the empire also knows very well that if the people at the bottom know that the profession of magician and pharmacist only needs to take potions, they can become big people in their eyes, rich people in their eyes, and people in the upper class.

Even if it is nine deaths, they will not obtain it at all costs and find a way to fight for a piece of life.

People who are desperate will never give up the slightest opportunity.

This is not conducive to the rule of the kingdom, let alone the operation of the entire kingdom, if everyone becomes extraordinary, then the extraordinary will become worthless, and there is simply not so many materials to make such a huge amount of potions.

Therefore, concealing and covering up the truth of the matter is the key to preventing chaos in the kingdom.

If everyone tries to find a way to climb to the sky and seize the potion, will there still be people who farm, people who work, and people who go to work in factories?

The key to keeping the kingdom running will always be the toiling people at the bottom.

"Although it is officially supported, it must be an aristocrat, and there are certain conditions, right?" Hodge asked softly after thinking through the underlying logic.

"Well, you need to pay a sum of money and register with the Wizards Association at the same time, of course, you don't have to think about this, I will arrange it for you." The Marquis of Bach hummed lightly and said lightly.

Hodge knew that the sum of money in the mouth of his father, the Marquis of Bach, was by no means a small amount.

Because the kingdom is definitely limiting the number of apothecaries, if there are too many magicians, it is obviously not conducive to the rule.

Why take control of the Wizards' Guild?

It is to control the price, let the magic potion sell at a high price, and at the same time, prevent malicious involution and competition.

If there are too many wild magicians, and they think that the official potion price is too expensive, they may use alchemy and pharmaceutical methods to refine low-priced potions, enter the market, and start to roll in.

This is not in the interest of the kingdom, and even less in the interests of the magicians.

Scarcity is expensive, and once the quantity of anything is too much, it is worthless.

"Okay, you have a good rest, think seriously about the next road, magician and knight, think carefully about the two ways, give me an answer as soon as possible, and I will have someone to prepare extraordinary materials for you." Marquis Bach stood up and said softly.

"Yes, father, I see." Although Hodge had already decided in his mind that he wanted to become a magician, given that he had just woken up from a coma, it was not appropriate to say it now, and Hodge planned to wait until tomorrow to tell his father.

"Your mother will come to the castle in the evening, remember to come down to dinner, don't worry her." Marquis Bach explained.

"Okay."

Hodge nodded slightly, looking forward to communicating with his mother during the dinner in the evening.

He was curious, what happened to the gathering of Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Actually indirectly caused the entire castle to be slaughtered by the infidels and died himself?

And why do parents, who rarely hold banquets, hold a party on the night of the extinction?

Is it a coincidence?

Or did someone do it on purpose?

Deliberately guiding parents to make this decision?
