Chapter 193 Chapter 168 The Means of the Magic Union

"Young master, young master! Today's income is quite a lot!" Ma De blushed, holding a thin booklet in his hand, the first two pages were already densely written, every stroke, every tick , and the series of numbers behind it all made the loyal old servant feel extremely excited. "Oh, how much is it in total?" Du Wei asked lazily, leaning on the chair. At this moment, the setting sun was hanging at the end of the Arc de Triomphe Avenue. At sunset, the shops were closed, and the visiting nobles kindly invited Du Wei to have dinner together.Especially the Delan Mountain Warcraft, the famous wealthy businessman in the empire is very interested in Du Wei's industry, and he seems willing to have a careful "in-depth talk" with Du Wei.

However, Du Wei's original good mood disappeared after Master Clark's last words before leaving! "A total of six hundred and eighty-four thousand and six hundred gold coins!" When Old Made announced the figure, his voice trembled a little. Du Wei didn't say much. Hmph, after spending so much time, if you still can't make so much money, wouldn't you be a failure?As expected, as expected... Seeing that the young master had no expression on his face, old Made thought that the young master was dissatisfied with his report which was too general, so he quickly flipped through the account book in his hand, and said in detail: "Today, Miss Ruolin is the biggest contributor. The things she sold were worth 380,000 gold coins. Young master, Miss Ruolin is the biggest contributor today, if we could have more people like Miss Ruolin..."

"Okay." Du Wei waved his hand, interrupting Old Mad's obsession? How many more people like Ruolin?That's unrealistic. The so-called rarity is more expensive.The image of Ruolin's super gorgeous female knight is mainly a "novelty", which makes those drooling nobles willing to spend a lot of money.If there are too many such characters, those nobles will lose their sense of novelty, and there will be no effect.Moreover, talents like Ruolin are really hard to find.Ruolin's appearance and figure are top-notch, and most importantly, this woman has quite a brain.In the early years, he was mixed in the circle of mercenary adventures, and accumulated a lot of tricks to deal with men.Smart, beautiful, intelligent, and a samurai himself, and loyal to himself, where can we find more candidates like this?

However, on the first day of opening, there were 880,000 gold coins in the account, which still made Du Wei very satisfied.In fact, the pure sales volume was only 500,000 gold coins, and many nobles came to attend the opening ceremony for Du Wei's sake. If they didn't buy something to go back, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to the Duke? Du Wei understands this very well. He can have so much income today because he is taking advantage of his own face. I am afraid that there will not be so much in the future.Moreover, in the income of 880,000 gold coins, there are 300,000 gold coins, which are purely gift money from a few big nobles!

The Earl of Villa just handed over 100,000 gold coins.As for Delanshan Warcraft, although this time it seems not so bold.However, Du Wei understood that the site of this shop was sold to him at a price of absolute loss, and he took advantage of more than hundreds of thousands of gold coins? "Go get ready and get another set of armor like Ruolin's. It doesn't have to be strong, but it should be as gorgeous as possible. Hmm..." Du Wei hesitated for a moment, and took a closer look at Made: "Made , I ask you a question." "Master, please tell me." Du Wei pondered for a while: "I will go to the northwest in a few months. Would you like to stay in the imperial capital and help me take care of the property here, or go to the northwest with me?"

The honest Ma De said without any hesitation: "Master, I am your loyal servant, and of course I followed you to the northwest." As he said, the old Ma De's eyes turned red: "You are the one I, Ma De, raised in my arms. , Is it possible that the young master is getting old now, and wants to leave old Made?" Du Wei smiled, looked at Made, who had red eyes, and said gently: "Okay, Made, stop crying, of course I won't abandon you. Well, you are right, I was raised by you since I was a child , even if I leave everything behind, I won’t leave my dear Uncle Made.”

The address of "uncle" made Made pale with fright. He was stunned, and quickly waved his hands and jumped up: "Master, please don't call me that, old Made can't afford it! I am Your servant, your groom, your housekeeper... what kind of uncle, please don't call me that, otherwise, I, Made..." Du Wei had already stood up, walked to Ma De's side, patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "Okay, Ma De, it's just the two of us here. Well, speaking of it, now the Luo Lin family stays in the imperial capital. There are only two of us... oh, and there is also an Alpha bodyguard. There is no need to be courteous between us."

Everyone knows the stakes in the choice just now. Going to the windy and sandy Northwest, or staying in the bustling imperial capital, such a choice, everyone can see which is more advantageous.But old Made did not hesitate to choose to accompany Du Wei to open up wasteland in the northwest. This loyalty was enough to move Du Wei. "Since you want to accompany me to the northwest, what about the imperial capital..." Du Wei thought for a while, and felt that the industry here in the imperial capital is the best person in charge. .This female knight has looks, brains, and is true to herself.It is a most suitable candidate.

It's just...who cares about those pirates? Oh, I have a headache.The problem of insufficient manpower cannot be solved in a day or two. "Go and call Ruolin for me." Du Wei sighed, "I have something to tell her." ... When Made walked out, Du Wei casually picked up a cup of herbal tea on the table, drank it down, and couldn't help but frown. Master Clark's arrival today was obviously the intention of the chairman of the magic union. He gave him face and also gave him real benefits.The magic guild also pays for big purchases from itself every year... These benefits are all lost to themselves.

But these are not free lunches! Hmph... Remember your identity as a magician?Will the magic union always own its own home? Needless to say, after the political situation stabilizes, the previous plan to establish a magic academy must be put on the agenda again! For Du Wei himself, he certainly didn't want to be caught between the regent king and the magic union as a ball kicking around when it came to the establishment of the magic academy.History has proved that most people who want to be fools will end up with no good end! At present, Du Wei thinks the best way is to leave the imperial capital and go to the territory as soon as possible!Then sit down on the northwest and never return to the imperial capital!

When the time comes to establish a magic academy, even if the magic union and the royal family are in a bloody battle, it's none of my business! But I thought that just after the coup d'état and Prince Chen came to power, he shouldn't put the plan of establishing the Magic Academy back on the agenda so soon, right?But where did you expect it to come so fast? But now, I want to leave the region and go to the northwest, but I can't!The local government affairs in the northwest have not yet been handed over - it's not that the central government affairs departments are stuck with themselves, it is that they don't have a group of capable people to fill the grassroots officials in a province in the northwest! Magic Academy... Magic Academy! snort! Du Wei suddenly felt angry.With the establishment of this magic academy, it is foreseeable that batch after batch of magician talents will be trained in the next few years!But these people will not fall into their own pockets in the end!I am jumping up and down here, being angry on both sides, why bother? Better to leave early! However, thinking of the talent of a magician, Du Wei's heart suddenly moved, and he had an extra thought for no reason. ... The next day, Du Wei took the initiative to go to the palace in a carriage to meet the regent Prince Chen. After experiencing the previous turmoil in the territory, Prince Chen's mood seems to have calmed down a lot now. At least he seems to have forgotten that Du Wei took the honor he gave him to force himself not to kill old Lei Meng.Du Wei's arrival was warmly received by Prince Chen. Even in public, the regent took the young duke's hand and walked into the palace hall. The two had a secret conversation in the palace for a long time. At noon, even the regent Du Wei was also left with a sumptuous lunch. No one knew what important matters the regent and the young duke had discussed this morning.It's just the regent's personal guard. After seeing the young duke leave, the regent seemed to be in a very good mood. He even patted himself on the shoulder with a smile and joked with himself. As for Du Wei, after leaving Prince Chen's palace, he felt that the sweat on his back had completely dried out, and his underwear was sticky to his body, which was very uncomfortable. Alas, this Prince Chen really intends to use himself as a gun to deal with the magic union! In the morning, Du Wei cautiously probed Prince Chen about the establishment plan of the Magic Academy.To Du Wei's surprise, Prince Chen actually told Du Wei frankly on the spot. The establishment of the Academy of Magic will enter the implementation phase within a month!The selection of the first batch of students of the Magic Academy, the royal family is currently engaged in rounds of open and secret battles with the Magic Union. However, during the coup, he strongly supported Prince Chen, and the magic union obviously got certain concessions from Prince Chen. The general plan for the first batch of students in the Magic Union is to recruit 100 students. Don't underestimate these one hundred people, it seems that the number is very small.But you must know that in the entire continent, there are only a few hundred magicians with genuine magician qualifications! And now... According to the current negotiations between the two parties, the magic union requires half of the quota! Such a share was something that Prince Chen could not agree to. joke!The main purpose of establishing a magic academy is to break the monopoly of the magic union on magician talents. If the magic union still occupies half of the quota, how will Prince Chen distribute the remaining half? The royal family must first select a group of people to enter the Magic Academy, and the following noble families will also occupy a certain number of places. Spreading out layer by layer like this, there are really too few people that Prince Chen can control.As the actual ruler of the current empire, he absolutely does not allow such a situation to happen. He made Du Wei his own bottom line today, that is, the students sent directly by the royal family must account for half of them!Let the Magic Union, the noble families below, and the military grab the rest! After talking with the Prince Regent all morning, Du Wei actually only got one idea from Prince Chen: "Go and tell the chairman of the magic union that my biggest concession is that when the magic union competes with the military and other noble families, I can secretly support the magic union! But the premise is that the students directly sent by my royal family, Must occupy half!" Originally Du Wei came to find Prince Chen, he also thought that the establishment of magic students would cultivate a group of magician talents, and he would also share a piece of the pie, but in the end, Prince Chen gave him a very simple answer: " Yes, but you need to negotiate with the Magic Union yourself for your quota, after all, you also have the Bachelor of Magic qualification recognized by the Magic Union." In the afternoon, Du Wei originally planned to go to the Magic Union to meet the old fellow, Jacob Doug, the chairman of the union. However, Du Wei temporarily changed his mind! Why not wait for the other party to come and beg me? Hmph, the establishment of the Academy of Magic is such a big deal!Such a big plus!Your magic guild just sent a Mage Clark to buy some goods from my shop as a charity, just to impress me? Humph, it's too cheap! Du Wei was heartbroken!Even if I don't get any benefit from the establishment of the Magic Academy, I still have to beat the Magic Union hard! With this sliver of determination, Du Wei walked out of the palace with a sullen face. The court guards around him, seeing the gloomy expression on the young duke's face, felt uneasy in their hearts, and followed them all the way, not daring to speak. When he walked to the square in front of the gate of the imperial city, Du Wei suddenly saw a group of people coming towards him. A fully enclosed carriage, the entire carriage is almost inlaid with bright silver pieces, and there is a snow-white white flag hanging on it! White banner? Du Wei was stunned for a moment, this is the banner of the funeral! And this carriage drove slowly into the imperial city, and the imperial guards guarding the imperial city immediately dodged to the sides, kneeling on one knee and saluting.On both sides of the carriage, there were two serious knights riding their horses to follow.To Du Wei's surprise, those two knights were actually members of the Holy Knights of the temple! And above the compartment of the carriage, there is clearly a royal thorn flower clan emblem!What is nondescript is that beside the thorn flower family emblem, there is also a temple emblem that Du Wei is very familiar with. Even the groom sitting in the car had a serious face, wearing a white robe with a cross badge pinned to his chest. When Du Wei was stunned, the carriage party had already arrived in front of him, and the inner court guard beside him saw that the Duke was in a daze, so he quickly pulled Du Wei lightly, pulled Du Wei aside, and got out of the way. When the carriage drove slowly into the palace, Du Wei frowned and looked at the inner court guard beside him: "Who was in that carriage just now? Why can people from the temple enter and leave the palace at will?" The inner court guard hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Your Excellency...don't you know? The one in the carriage is the Saintess Verona, known as the flower of the royal family, the Saintess of the Temple..." saint?Du Wei only vaguely knew that the so-called holy women were actually a gimmick created by the religious organization of the temple. Some holy and beautiful girls were selected to convert to the temple devoutly, never marry for a lifetime, maintain a holy body, and serve the gods... … But this Verona saint?Royal flower? "You really don't know?" The inner court guard was a little surprised by the young duke's ignorance, and his expression was a little unnatural: "Saint Verona... her father is the late First Prince..." "Oh..." Du Wei meaningfully turned around and glanced at the carriage going away. The eldest prince's daughter?saint? Ha ha... Then it's no wonder there are white flags hanging on the carriage. Although the First Prince committed suicide after the coup, Prince Chen still did a good job in this matter. He did not deprive the First Prince of his status as a member of the royal family, and allowed him to be "flag buried" after his death in accordance with the tradition of the Augustinian royal family. It is to be buried with a flag of thorns and flowers wrapped around the body.This is the exclusive etiquette of the royal family. This saint...is the eldest prince's daughter.Hmph, it seems that the first prince has not tried to win over the temple.However, when things came to an end, the temple chose Prince Chen in the end, and at the critical moment, the First Prince was placed together! hum... Just when Du Wei asked to look at the carriage, he faintly felt that in the closed carriage, as if a corner of the window was opened, there was a gaze floating towards him from a distance... ... Back to his mansion. Du Wei has been made a duke, but he has not set up his own duke's mansion in the imperial capital.Because although the regent granted him a lot of court titles, the glory is enough, but he didn't let Du Wei serve as an actual official in any department in the central empire. Of course, this is because Du Wei is only fourteen years old after all. Being a duke at this age is already shocking. If he is the first minister of any ministry, it would be too nonsense. Therefore, Du Wei did not set up his own duke's mansion, but prepared to go to the northwest to become the local emperor. His current "mansion" in the imperial capital is actually a small house in the wealthy area of ​​the imperial capital.This house was given to him by Prince Chen, it is said that it was originally the property under the name of the First Prince. As soon as he returned to his home, he saw the old servant Made was already waiting at the door. Seeing the young master coming back, Made hurried up and helped Du Wei get out of the carriage with his own hands, and then the first sentence was: "Master, someone from the Magic Union came to see you today, but you are not at home. The person from the Magic Union is waiting at home." I didn’t wait for you all morning, so I had no choice but to go back.” Come to beg me so soon? Du Wei sneered in his heart. But the next sentence surprised Du Wei. Obviously, the magic guild didn't directly win over him, the other party played better than expected! "The magic guild is here to inform the young master... yes, there will be a level assessment for your magic, which will be conducted in three days, and will be presided over by the chairman of the magic guild." Magician level assessment? Du Wei was stunned.
