in the name of the queen

Chapter 81 If others doubt you, you’d better be
  At the end of the meeting, Roland found Raikkonen, who had just finished training and was sweating profusely.

Roland patted the young man on the shoulder, showed a kind smile, and called his nickname to greet him.

"Jimmy, are you still used to being in the Knights these days?"

"Reporting to the leader, please call me Raikkonen. Jimmy is his childhood name. I like the life of the Knights very much." Raikkonen straightened his body and answered carefully.

Seeing his cautious look, Roland couldn't help but want to laugh.

Just three days later, this kid forgot about his days as a paparazzi reporter, and became a knight in style.

This is not surprising.

Although knights have declined, they are still a serious second class, and their social status is not low.

There is no comparison with paparazzi reporters, a profession that everyone shouts about.

The end of the universe is kaobian, and it is the same in ancient and modern times.

Roland's question made Raikkonen briefly recall the exciting past of being a paparazzi reporter, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

Although being a knight is very happy, it has many more rules and less freedom.

These days, Chief Instructor Xif has dealt with him very hard.

He occasionally thinks about how great it would be if he could go out on reconnaissance missions.

Just when he was thinking wildly, Roland's magnetic voice sounded.

"I have a task that should have been handled by people from the Knights. Unfortunately, our investigation team is still under construction and cannot handle it. We have to ask the mercenary guild for help."

Wait, the leader mentioned that he originally wanted the reconnaissance team to go. Could it be a reconnaissance mission?

Can this kind of work be extended to other places? Who are you looking down on?

Raikkonen's competitive spirit was aroused.

"Captain, the person standing in front of you is the former chief special reporter of the Sun. There is no secret that I can't dig out, and there is no person that I can't find. There is no conflict between the fact that the investigation team has not been established and that I can complete the task independently!"

Seeing the burning fighting spirit in Raikkonen's eyes, Roland nodded with satisfaction.

The provocation method is old, but it works.

Especially for teenagers.

Roland explained carefully to Raikkonen, and watched the scout captain disappear from the end of the field of vision like a spirit fox, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.

The commercial monopoly of the Alchemy Alliance made him realize one thing.

Thoughts more advanced than feudalism have inadvertently flooded the corners of this society.

While the nobles were still singing and dancing in the splendid dinner hall, the businessmen had united to create a monopoly.

How can we govern Sussex with these insects?

This was also the reason why Roland eagerly wanted to take the Queen out to sea instead of staying in the imperial capital to engage in political struggle.

He had no choice; he was already marked as a die-hard royalist.

When everyone thinks he is the Queen's lover, it doesn't matter anymore.

If Sylph fails, he will either be on the run or work as a street lamp pendant in King Quan Square.

So Sylph must win, and she must win completely, so that he can have a good life.

In this fantasy world with zero Siris content, he has no sense of belonging and only wants to follow the guidance of his inner desires.

When others accuse you of being a royalist, you'd better be, and you have to be powerful enough to retain the emperor's power.

After walking out of the gate of the Knights, Roland rode towards the outskirts of the city on horseback.

The place he was always curious about but never went to was the Magic Association.

They are the last descendants of the Magic Empire.

The Magic Empire once ruled the core area of ​​​​this world and created a brilliant civilization that astonished mankind in this era.

At that time, humans used magic to light up the night sky, used magic to fly into the clouds, and used magic to create the Magic Tower.

Until they touched the forbidden area and tried to revive the ancient survivors. Try to create a new species called New Humanity. The five Tongtian Magic Towers correspond to elves, titans, earth spirits, dragons, phoenixes and other ancient relics.

They want to use the resurrected ancient remnants to merge with modern humans to create a perfect race.

They dare to enter the absolutely taboo territory that even the gods dare not venture into.

Ambition beyond strength made the Magic Empire expand beyond measure. A fierce conflict broke out between the archons who controlled the five magics and the supreme archon who stayed in the imperial capital.

Conservatives believe that humans should pursue immortality and immortality rather than create new species.

The radicals believe that since they are going to touch the taboo, they should follow through and step directly into the realm of God.

They unscrupulously grabbed the world's resources, tried to create new species, resurrected ancient races, and ultimately created uncontrollable monsters.

Divine punishment comes unexpectedly.

After the Magic Tower collapsed, most of the Archons, who represented the highest combat power of the Magic Empire, were killed or injured. When the remaining upper echelons of the Empire were surprised to find that they had offended everyone, it was too late.

The Magic Empire, which represented the highest civilization in the Magic Era, was shattered by successive barbarian rebellions and was ultimately unable to maintain its rule.

The demise of the Magic Empire is the dividing line between the New Calendar and the Old Calendar of the Magic Era.

It is now the year 1791 of the New Calendar of the Magic Era, and the level of civilization of human society is still not worth mentioning compared to the era of the Magic Empire.

The distant ancestor of the Sussex Empire also participated in the uprising that overthrew the Magic Empire.

The secular government and the Magic Association experienced fierce and bloody battles and finally reached a compromise.

This is the background of the times.

It cannot be said that the two parties have never been in contact with each other, at least they are strangers.

More than a hundred years ago, knowledgeable people appeared in the Magic Association. They believed that the demise of the Magic Empire was an objective fact and there was no point in continuing to pretend. They simply ordered the Magic Association to go out of the Magic Tower and contact the descendants of the barbarians outside.

The human countries also believed that the Magic Empire had been destroyed for more than a thousand years, and they should let go of their deep hatred, so they accepted the Magic Association.

This is what encyclopedias and history books record.

wonderful.

No one records that this settlement cost millions of lives.

The Magic Association was re-accepted by humans not by diluting hatred over time, but by strength.

They have the need to integrate into the international community.

There is also strength.

So they come back again.

But they still maintain a detached attitude from the outside world.

Roland thought thoughtfully. Although he yearned for magic very much, seeking help from the Magic Association was the last option he considered.

Because the Magic Association has a very bad habit.

They are short of people, so they are particularly eager for talents, especially those with magician potential.

If you want to enter the Magic Association, you must first take a magic qualification test. Once you are found to have potential, you will be targeted by people from the Magic Association.

They won't steal people blatantly, but they will constantly persuade good prospects to join.

Depending on the qualification level, they will offer various favorable conditions.

Until the selected good seedling really can't refuse and "has to" join.

Standing not far from the entrance of the Magic Association, Roland was a little uneasy.

If you fail the test, you will lose face.

If the test passes, it will be even more troublesome.

Just as he hesitated, a kind and kind voice sounded in his ears.

"Confused travelers, please put aside your prejudice against magic and come in. The Magic Association will never force anyone to join. Those are all rumors."
