Another half a month passed, and Curt ushered in the tri-monthly Thousand Laws Summit. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) All the senior mages who have served in the Council of a Thousand Dharmas will attend the meeting to discuss the important matters that have been born in the past three months and to make arrangements for the future. Curt followed Olga to the meeting as secretary. He was dressed in freshly washed iridescent robes, looking in good spirits.

"Let's get started. ”

Ioham sat down on the seat of the ring and struck a piece of pure Mithril in front of him with a adamantite hammer. So, in clockwise order, the senior mages began to speak. The content of the speech included urban construction, commercial transportation, food supply, ore mining and other aspects. Eoham usually just nodded noncommittally, and finally left the matter to the High Mage who asked the question. The huge benefits were distributed in a few words, and Curt realized what it means to be a thousand words.

"Uh...... In the spring, the monsters of the tundra, mainly orcs and goblins, pose a threat to trade routes. As is customary, we hired a team of mercenaries to clean it up, but we ran into trouble. The Druids, who call themselves the Society of Magic Overseers, have intervened in our work, declaring that the existence of monsters is natural and indesecrate. ”

The High Mage named Preden raised his hand and asked the puzzle he was having. Ioham turned his eyes on interest and motioned for Preden to continue.

"As we all know, the madmen of the Sorcery Overseer Society have caused us a lot of trouble, and even dared to hunt down some necromancers who have gone too far. They have the backing of the big druid McDonough, and it's very tricky to deal with. I hope to raise an army to sweep away the orcs and other monsters near the trade routes. By the way, I also taught the Magic Supervision Association a lesson, and they don't seem to take Thousand Law City seriously. ”

"Believers in the gods of nature have always been like this, they don't know what it means to be proportionate, they are a bunch of uncivilized primitive people......"

Ioham smiled mockingly and spoke slowly. He thought for a moment, then tapped his fingers on the table and said:

"Well, it's time to clean up those clowns. It is our right to clean up the dross of the mage's ranks, and it is not their turn to dictate. Well...... Hire more mercenaries and sweep all trade routes within a hundred kilometers of the Thousand Laws City. The cost is provided by the Vault, and a bounty is offered to the upper echelons of the Spell Overseer Association. ”

"Please let me join the sweep. ”

Curt, who was standing on the side, suddenly raised his hand, startling Olga, who was sitting in front of him. When Ioham turned his face to himself, Curt said in a loud voice:

"You need to install an agent in the mercenary ranks, and I should be suitable for this position. Although the mercenaries lied about their merits just to cheat more money, it didn't hurt. But under my supervision, they will be more efficient in their work. What's more, everyone here is very resourceful, and it is not suitable for long-distance fatigue and mixing with mercenaries. ”

"Yes, then I'll leave the matter to you. ”

Ioham nodded slowly, looking rather happy. He took a sip of water, then stared at Curt and said:

"You do need more merit to prove yourself, Curt. I like to put it on the table - if you can get things right, the Council of a Thousand Laws will recognize your abilities. The next time you attend the Thousand Laws Summit, I'll have a new chair for you. However, you don't underestimate the druid. Especially the big druid McDonough, he is not easy to deal with. I fought him a few times when I was younger, and even though I beat him up, he ran away. McDonough is a slick old loach who hides in the shadows, waiting to bite you. If he misses, he can escape. ”

"I do my best not to let you down. ”

Curt humbled down, causing a lot of discussion among the senior mages. Most of the high-ranking mages were happy to have someone to stand up and carry the burden, so they were reluctant to leave the Thousand Laws City and go to the tundra to participate in the fight. But there were also some high-ranking mages who frowned, feeling that Curt was too sharp and might threaten their hard-won position.

After some discussion, with the support of Inquisitor Olga, Ioham overrode the crowd and handed over the task of sweeping the trade routes to Curt. He ordered the senior mage in charge of finance to withdraw 10,000 gold coins and give them to Curt as an advance. Then Curt will arrange all the things and come out within a month.

After the meeting, Olga and Curt went to the lounge on the ground floor of the main tower to discuss the contents of today's meeting. Ogar sipped the amethyst flower tea brewed with pure snow water, and said with some complaints:

"Normally, you're going to pay for it. But it doesn't matter, the key is to be successful. You are accumulating your own political capital, which is more precious than money. But...... Curt, you're too reckless. You should wait until everyone is reluctant to take over and start kicking the ball, and then you should step up. In that case, everyone will accept your affection, and I won't need to be so long-winded. ”

In order to help Curt take over the task, Olga was forced to make a statement at the meeting. If Curt had kept a low profile, Alga would have been happy to say a word. This annoyed Olga a little, feeling that the young man still couldn't hold his breath after all. So Curt smiled and added tea to Olga, and then said calmly:

"I hope that today's events will make it clear what the MPs are like. It's the same with you, but I think it's better to see it for yourself. I know that all organizations have garbage and waste, and they do nothing to their own. Once you see the benefits, you can't wait to reach out and ask for a share. I want to follow a path similar to yours, but the first thing I need to do is distinguish between potential enemies and allies. I'm sorry to hurt you to go into the battle yourself, but I think it's worth it compared to the gains. ”

“...... You damn stinky boy!"

Olga was stunned for a long time before pointing at Curt and scolding repeatedly. He drank the tea in one gulp, then pushed away the cup and said:

"Well, count me unlucky, you are calculating again. Sweeping the trade routes is a bit risky, and to be on the safe side, I'll send two trusted inquisitors to protect you. Their travel expenses are on your head, and you're not bad for money anyway, you stinky boy. In addition, I would like to introduce you to a few mercenary leaders, who are more reliable. ”

"Thank you. ”

Curt saluted respectfully, and hurriedly paid for the tea.

The next morning, Curt took Gordon and Cameron to the Mercenaries Guild. He approached Wallace and then showed a letter of introduction from Judge Olga. Wallace immediately invited Curt to the VIP room on the second floor, and ran to his boss with a letter of introduction. After some rush, Wallace returned to the VIP room in disgrace. He was followed by two strong-bodied mercenaries instead of the five that Curt had predicted.

"Uh...... I'm very sorry, but the leaders of Snow Wolf, White Bear, and Iceberg Mercenary Group are not willing to accept the job, they have other arrangements. These two are the leader of the Sword Forging Mercenary Regiment, Mr. Cedric, and the leader of the Aomine Mercenary Regiment, Mr. Thornton. Their mercenary group has been around for a bit of a short time, but they've all had a good record. ”

"Nice to meet both, please be seated. ”

Curt thought for a moment and invited the two mercenary leaders to sit down. The situation was a bit of a surprise to Curt, and in general, the work of clearing trade routes was very popular with mercenary groups. They can get paid well and loot monster camps. All kinds of captured monsters can also be sold to mages as research materials, which is simply a huge profit.

It seems that someone didn't want Curt to have smooth sailing and secretly gave Curt some trouble. Now the three mercenary groups of Snow Wolf, White Bear, and Iceberg are not willing to see Curt at all, they should have been the main force of the sweeping team.

"Please make an offer. ”

Curt didn't bother with useless entanglements, he directly told the two mercenary captains about the content of the work, and asked the other party to quote. The leader of the sword-forging mercenary group, Cedric, who was in his forties, shook his head. He touched the scar on his cheek, shook his worn boots, and said:

"It takes at least three hundred people to carry out the sweep. Reconnaissance, night duty, and delivery of supplies all require manpower. There must be 200 warriors who can go to the battlefield at the same time, otherwise, you will not be able to attack a large monster tribe. ”

"That's right, and it's only the beginning of spring, and a lot of strong monsters have just finished hibernating. They were very aggressive, and many barbarian tribes also returned to the vicinity of Qianfa City. We can't do anything without adequate personnel and supplies. ”

The leader of the Aomine Mercenary Regiment, Thornton leaned back in his chair and lazily added. He tied his neck-length head into dozens of small braids, which looked a little frivolous. Obviously, both mercenary leaders were skeptical. Their combined men were only eighty, less than one-third of the men needed for the sweep. Curt knew this, but he just smiled and said:

"Please quote a price, gentlemen. ”

"With all due respect, you don't understand anything. ”

Thornton stood up as if disappointed, and spread his hands. Before he started to walk out, Curt said word for word:

"I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of the Council of the Thousand Laws. If you think I'm too young to underestimate me, that's okay. But underestimating the consequences of the Council of a Thousand Laws, Mr. Thornton...... You can't afford it. ”

"Scare me?"

Thornton's face sank, and his reflexive grip pressed onto the hilt of his sword. He knew that he was too arrogant, but it was impossible for him not to get off the stage in front of someone as young as Curt. Just as Thornton was about to say something, a two-handed heavy sword swept over him, sending him flying and crashing against the wall. Cedric, who had struck, put away his sword, sat back in his chair, and said:

"Let me introduce myself, Mr. Curt. I used to be the Iron Guard of Silvermoon City, so I know your abilities very well. Now tell me what you are going to do, and I'm listening. ”

Curt nodded slightly, feeling that he had finally made a decent gain. Guard Hogg and Madison were friends with Curt, and Curt remembered their amazing skills.
