Chapter Ninety-Six: Trading
The Magic King's Court, inside the Prince's Palace.
Ignas was meeting a young girl in a purple robe.
"Camilla, what about your sincerity?"
The arrogant crown prince sat on a jade throne on the north side of the main hall, looking down at the Boon witch who was kneeling on one knee.
It stands to reason that Camilla, as the eldest princess of the Boon Empire, should have no difference in status or inferiority between Camila and Ignas.
But the crown prince is the crown prince of the Demon Guide Country, which determines the difference in status between the two.
"Your Highness Ignath, this is my pact of allegiance to you."
Camila gritted her teeth and pulled out a deed of obedience written in her blood from her bosom.
In order to gain youth, the Witch of Boon can no longer care about anything else.
"Hmph, that's good."
Ignas took the contract from his squire's hand and read it three times.
Dealing with this treacherous witch, the crown prince had to pay more attention.
In recent days, the situation in the country has become more and more unfavorable for Ignas.
Just two days ago, the old king Abel suddenly announced that the election for the throne would be held immediately after the promotion ceremony.
As the crown prince personally elected by the king, according to the rules of the campaign, Ignas had fifteen "pre-emptive votes".
Before the election began, there were fifteen more votes than the other heirs to the throne.
It stands to reason that the throne belongs to him.
However, according to the information that Ignath has, among the fifty-six archmages in the Minaret Council, except for a few scholars who are not interested in the throne Chan Concession campaign, the vast majority of the archmages chose to side with the fourth prince Avar.
This made Ignas very uncomfortable.
For as long as he can remember, he has been the recognized next king of the kingdom.
For decades, the other dozen sons of the old king did not dare to covet the throne in the slightest.
And now, all this has changed because of the son of a lowly palace maid.
"Damn Avar!"
With the face of the fourth prince "Yin Owl" in his mind, Ignas was eager to immediately dig out the heart of his younger brother.
However, he could not do so, and he did not dare to do so.
As the election date draws closer, every candidate for the crown prince will be closely guarded by the Minaret Council.
If Ignath had sent someone to assassinate Prince Avar at such a time, he would have been detected by the Holy Magister Solomon.
At that point, what awaits him will be a harsh trial by the Mage Council.
In addition to being deprived of his inheritance rights, the trial even took his life.
After all, the royal family of the Wizard Nation is nothing more than "servants" who handle mundane matters for the mages of the Council of the Starry Spire.
The thought of this filled Ignath's eyes with hatred.
It's fast, it's fast.
The Magic Nation will finally usher in a earth-shaking change.
At that time, he will become the real king of the country.
"Your Highness Ignas, what can I do to help you?"
Camilla is well aware of the predicament the crown prince is facing.
That's why she came to the door.
On "Night of the Magister", Camilla had a windfall.
The beast tamer druid named Newint turned out to be a human traitor who had joined the demons.
With no effort, Camilla was overjoyed to get rid of a very strong competitor.
Her joy, however, could not last long.
Because, the enemy who made her feel the biggest threat was still on the list of contenders.
That farming druid whose acting skills are even more superb than himself.
Butcher.
By this time, Camila had abandoned all previous illusions.
The ugly woman who disguised herself to the extreme was definitely the biggest obstacle on her way to becoming an archmage.
For days, Camilla has been pondering what will happen after the second trial.
"In the 'Night of the Magister', the sudden intrusion of the Holy See's 'Holy Judge' also has traces of that hateful woman manipulating behind her back?"
Camila didn't dare to think about it at all.
If Newint's identity as a "demon enterer" is exposed, it is because he fell for the "beauty scheme" set up by Butcher......
Reminiscent of the intimacy between Newint and Butcher at the end of the Second Trial, which was full of dissonance.
A game of "big chess" played by the goddess Sifna gradually took shape in Camilla's mind.
Thinking of the power of the goddess's "plan", the Witch of Boang, who saved the belly of others with her own heart, was already drenched in cold sweat.
"No, if this continues, I will definitely become the next victim."
Now Camila wants to deal with Sifna, and it's not all about seizing the position of "Grand Magus".
She is also trying to "protect herself".
In Camilla's mind, Sifner, who had "easily resolved" all his previous actions, of course, had long known his hostility towards her.
However, this "cunning" farmer druid still pretends to know nothing, why is that?
Of course, it's to confuse yourself and wait for revenge.
Camila felt that she knew her "kind" too well.
Looking at Camilla, whose face was cloudy, a grim smile appeared on the corner of Prince Ignas's mouth.
The woman in front of her is very useful, especially after she is controlled by the obedience contract.
Not to mention that if she can successfully seize the title of "Grand Magus", she will have another obedient "pawn" in the Minaret Council.
This woman's profession is valuable in itself.
"Potions Warlock".
Camilla, who is good at poisoning and demagoguery, can concoct potions that can affect people's hearts once she has the rare materials she provides.
With these potions, Ignas was confident that he would be able to influence the outcome of the "Throne Zen Campaign".
Solomon can protect the crown princes, but not every archmage.
With the right approach, the proud old magicians will also be poisoned by potions!
"Regarding my detailed plan to win the heir, follow me to the secret room later, and we will talk slowly."
Ignaus said as he dripped his blood onto the contract.
"Come on, take those things out."
The crown prince clapped his hands, and his henchmen also took out several richly decorated magic ridge treasure boxes from the inner hall.
"These are the secret treasures that my Demon Guide Country has treasured for thousands of years."
Opening one of the treasure boxes, Ignas took out a silver-white ring and placed it in the palm of his hand.
"This ring is called the 'Mithril Plate Ring', and when you wear it, the power of the eighth to tenth rank magic will be increased by 20%, and the magic cost of casting spells will also be reduced by 20%."
Hearing the prince say this, Camilla's eyes suddenly lit up.
How significant this ring is to the caster, the Witch of Boon is of course very well aware.
"There are four more here, all of which are treasures that are extremely beneficial to you."
Ignas opened the remaining boxes one by one and showed them the equipment to Camilla one by one.
Among them is the Magic Bracelet that increases INT by 200 and reduces cast preparation time.
There is an enchanted cape that increases magic resistance by 800 and increases mana regeneration.
There are also magic gem necklaces that can increase the magic affinity of the holder and increase the power of spellcasting.
There is also an Ethereal Stone Staff that grants the equiptor's magic skill level up by 3 levels.
There is no doubt that every piece of equipment that the crown prince took out was a treasure that the Witch of Boon dreamed of.
Looking at Camilla with a light in her eyes, Ignas stroked her palms and smiled: "Princess Camilla, you can accept this ring first." ”
Seeing that the witch trembled and took the "Mithril Plate Ring", the crown prince said, "If you can help me successfully complete my plan, I will give you the remaining pieces of equipment before the third trial." ”
"Thank you, Crown Prince, your subordinates will definitely help you achieve your great cause!"
Looking at the ring in her hand, Camila's eyes narrowed.
The Demon Guide Country deserves to be the Demon Guide Country.
These treasures that are enough to suppress the national fortunes of a country among the human nations are actually gifts that can be given to Prince Ignath!
The Witch of Beaune knew very well what the Crown Prince wanted her to do.
Using potions as a guide to control the "Grand Magister" of the Spire Council is no easy task.
However, in Camilla's opinion, it is definitely much more difficult to obtain these rare treasures than it is to control a few conceited and pedantic old magicians.
It's man-made.
Once you get these treasures, can't you still pay the "evil woman" named "Butcher"?
