"There's a mage named Madeleine Taylor in the Mage Guild's Illusion Department that is my daughter," Edith said, "and I smuggled out some of the Federation's Myrnecanon core blueprints through her, twenty-seven in all. ”

"Twenty-seven out of forty-two, that's quite a lot. Siegel sighed.

"I have also collected some of the advanced spell materials of the Federation myself, and I can hand them over. After stepping into the archmage, all kinds of spells were strictly controlled, only the federation was loosely managed, and I exploited this loophole. I thought if Madeleine might have made the leap to the Archmage, she could leave something for her, and that's why I've left a few books. I want to trade that in the hope that you can save her. ”

"When were the drawings handed over?"

"From the beginning of the construction of the magic ship, the copied blueprints have been sent away. The mage who had participated in the construction of the first Myrnon Core had also provided some of the drawings and had sent them away early. ”

Mage Shelley was furious, and a flame of negative energy erupted all over his body. Spirits and abominations surrounded her, and if it weren't for the spells here suppressing the barrier, these necromancers would have pounced on Edith and eaten them all.

"Don't worry, Master Shelley, now is not the time for punishment. Siegel said to Edith: "I will still hand you over to the Security Council, and this time you will not hide anything from you." If, as you say, the Federation is able to retrieve the High Spell materials, whether the Council approves it or not, I will contact Madeleine Taylor and keep her away from Myrnecore. Other than that, I can't vouch for it. ”

"How long does it usually take for the Myrneon nucleus to explode?" asked Edith.

"I don't know, it's still that sentence. I only have theoretical inferences. This experiment has never been done before. Siegel patted his robe. One last glance at the decadent Edith: "Okay, I'm leaving." I won't come to see you again. ”

"Siegel!" Edith suddenly raised his head and said loudly, "In the southeast corner of my room, there is a second brick from the bottom up, and there is a bottle of potion in it, which is a life potion made by the Mage Guild. Promise me to find out what's inside and why it's so long-lived. If it weren't for it, I wouldn't be ...... I should have died a long time ago. ”

"Wait until I have time. I'm just a member of the federation. I can't promise you for everyone. Siegel turned and walked away.

Mage Shelley came out with Siegel, leaving Edith back in a dark, lightless and silent cell. "The Council can get to work, find the high-level magic materials as soon as possible, and keep them safe. Siegel said to Shelley, "I can't do everything with the Council. On the one hand, they are really lacking in skills, and on the other hand, they don't want the federation to return to the state of the Big Three era. After completing the magic spaceship, many things can no longer be dealt with as easily as in the past, and the Mage Guild and the School City must be regarded as enemies, and both internal and external tensions will be raised. ”

"I was so badly harmed by the Mage Association, and now there are still mages eating inside and out!" Shelley, the necromancer, clenched his fists: "You must not spare these people! If you have one, you have to catch one and burn them to ashes on the flames!"

"My opinion is that killing people is never the solution to the problem. Wastes the caster's abilities. Siegel said as he walked: "It is useless to talk too much, and in the end, it is up to the council to decide." Just tell me to attend when the time comes. Edith doesn't seem to be in good shape, so it's important to find the spell information as soon as possible. ”

"If you find the spell information, do you really have to inform the female mage named Madeleine?"

Siegel paused slightly, then continued on his way. "A promise is a promise, and I'm definitely going to do it. But I'm also worried that it's some kind of communication code, or even some kind of early warning mechanism of the Mage Guild. So the best thing to do is to secretly check Madeleine's situation to see if it's really what Edith said. This can also be done after retrieving the spell data. Edith wasn't in a hurry before, and to be honest, we can also be in a situation where we don't have to be in a hurry. ”

Shelley nodded, knowing in her heart what Siegel was planning.

The Starry King Evan, who was taken on a tour of the entire magic spaceship, used three "breathtaking" words in a row to describe this magical creation. "The Star Royal Family needs such a spaceship, and the Federation has something to do for a while. ”

"We can also practice spells and spells as we build, which is a win-win. Venerable Verwood respectfully said to His Majesty the King, "The Federation is willing to continue to cooperate with the Kingdom of Stars to deal with the threat posed by the goblins. ”

"It seems that the people of the federation are more sober, the word threat is used very well, and the others are just talking about opportunity. Evan nodded in agreement, and when he saw Siegel approaching, he said to the mages beside him, "Thank you for accompanying the commentary, mages. Siegel is here, let him do the next thing to send the king!"

The mages laughed, saluted, and turned to leave. The others also distanced themselves from the two, leaving room for the king and the archmage to talk.

"I've heard them say that the original idea for this ship came out of your head entirely, and that the most critical Myr Core was your design. Evan said, "Tell me the truth, this magic ship isn't the strongest thing, is it?"

"Not really. Siegel thought of the Void Cannon. Although there are still many things that are not understood in principle, as a weapon, the power of the Void Cannon is beyond the reach of a magic ship. "A new era has arrived, and whether it will be the best or the worst will depend on how the next decade or so will change. ”

"I'm thinking about Aaron. If he hadn't relinquished the throne and the Star Kingdom had really fallen into a civil war, wouldn't it be the entire era that had been missed? I had been wondering just now, why was my luck so good that the matter of inheriting the Star Kingdom could go so smoothly?"

It's an unanswerable question. To what extent the change of bloodlines by the blood mages affected the fate of the royal family, I am afraid it is impossible to calculate. Whether Evan had royal blood in the past or not was also buried by history with the death of the old king. And among all the "good fortune", the one that gave Evan Fanxing the surname and freed him from being an illegitimate child. What is the reason for this? I'm afraid no one can answer.

"Siegel. After looking at the magic spaceship, I began to understand why the royal family parted ways with the Mage Guild back then, and why they were so afraid of the creation of mage lords. Really, if you control this magic ship and start attacking the castle of the kingdom, who can stop you?"

"Reason will stand in the way of me. Siegel spread his hands: "Let's put it this way, build so many castles and occupy vast territories." What's the point for me?The last mage lord started a war, not to covet the land, but to test his spell abilities while trying to challenge the temple system. I have a clear idea of my spell abilities, and my opponent is not the Star Royalty, so there is no need to start a rebellion at all. But at this point, I'm going to have to ask you for a piece of land. ”

"Huh, what's the location?"

"The transcontinental teleportation array is almost complete, and I occupy five uninhabited islands in the sea, which are considered the territory of the Heim Territory. According to the movements of these islands, the teleportation array has been connected to the vicinity of Cliff City. Going ashore from there is the most cost-effective and efficient way to get ashore. So far, however, the Federation has not been able to negotiate this matter with Count Percy of Cliff City. The old man just wouldn't let anything magical come ashore. ”

"Ah, that old man, don't worry, I'll convince him. Evan replied with a smile.

"No, it's not that simple. Siegel said, "The Federation reported to me that the main reason for the inability to negotiate was that the advisors of the school city were obstructing and discrediting the role of the Federation's teleportation array. ”

"Can the advisors of the school city carry more weight than the king's words?" said Evan. "These are the nobles and lords who have sworn allegiance, and their honor ......"

"The honor of the king does not break through the lord's jurisdiction over his own domain. Siegel let out a long sigh and said, "We carefully studied the map and found that all the places where we were able to go ashore were the presence of school city advisors. If we try one by one, we will only escalate the contradictions to the table. In terms of head-to-head confrontation, the current federation is not an opponent of the association, and it can only barely protect itself, so I can only come to you. The optimal solution is this: the royal family exchanges a territory for him, and exchanges a royal direct domain for Cliff City. ”

"Give me a reason, just to get ashore in the teleportation array won't convince me. Evan said, "Only a sufficiently tempting territory can get Count Passy to agree to this matter, and every piece of direct title in the royal family's name is very valuable." ”

"Well, let's put it this way. Heim Collar currently has a basic monopoly on transportation in the New World, making ten times as much money as the Zebra Mountain gold mines. The Continental Teleportation Array can shorten the transportation time of the two continents from four months in a tailwind and seven months in a headwind to one day, so the teleportation array will be the largest transportation port from there. In addition to trade goods, there is also the dispatch of ores, weapons and armor, horses and even armies. Is that reason enough?"

Evan frowned tightly, weighing it in his mind, and Siegel stood by and waited quietly for him. The magic ship was quietly suspended in the air, and the white clouds were not far from the king. At that moment, sunlight pierced through the cracks in the clouds and shone on Evan's face, causing His Majesty to look out of the ship.

The sea is sparkling and you can see the curved horizon from afar. If you don't think about it, Chen Shizhou's ship to deliver supplies is like a small fish in a pond, slowly paddling through the waves.

At the far end of the sky, a continent could be faintly seen, and turning to the west, the new continent seemed to be hazy. No human king has ever had such a vision, and no king has ever faced such a challenge.

Evan looked at Siegel and saw hope and anticipation in his eyes. Siegel had already given him a lot of surprises, and there might be more and more in the future, and it would be like that with such a young archmage as a friend. If he doesn't accept it, won't the Federation have a way to realize the transcontinental teleportation array? Evan asked himself, knowing that the answer to this question was of course impossible. When the Federation was in the Three-Peak Tower, it worked with the Mage Association to create a transcontinental teleportation array, which directly caused Deep Water City to have the ability to break away from the management of the Star Kingdom. If the future development of the Heim Territory makes the Star Kingdom unbearable, and if he, the king, does not have the courage to take over the challenge given to him by Siegel, then not only will it not be able to stop the development of the Heim Territory, but it will also create a huge gap between the two of them.

Only by meeting the challenge can there be a breakthrough, and Evan has the feeling of trembling before the big battle again. As this new era of change is about to begin, the old-fashioned races are in danger of being eliminated. Evan had already smelled it, and he was ready to fight.

"Okay, since you want to put one end of the cross-sea teleportation array under the management of the royal family, there's no reason why I wouldn't want to try to take it over. Evan said, "But now that I'm king, say hello in advance for something like this." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Siegel saluted, and the two looked at each other and laughed. (To be continued.) )
