Chapter 154: Heartwarming Mage Bryan
Chapter 150 – Heartwarming Mage Brian
Brian had been in Akita Town for some time now, but most of the time he had spent thinking and dwelling on it, until his apprentice brought a piece of news and he stepped out of his room.
“A mechanical golem for farm work?!” Brian thought that Domi was deliberately exaggerating, after all, even a humble golem that was a work of practice could be sold for a good price where the countryside nobles were concerned, so who would use a golem to do farm work, who would have thought that coming over to take a look only to find out that it was actually real, and that it was a fairly mature work from the details of the golem, which meant something that he knew very well, and so Brian’s heart was moved.
“Immediately visit the lord here in my name.” Brian said in a somewhat excited tone, as the only apprentice, or rather the only apprentice still alive, for his teacher’s command Domi didn’t dare to have the slightest hesitation, and used the fastest speed to go to the center of the town to deliver a formal invitation to pay his respects.
Because of the special nature of the visitor, Maya quickly received the invitation to pay her respects, but had only one comment to make about it.
“Mage Brian, another trouble.”
If witches and warlocks were unstable factors, then mages represented a constant stream of trouble.
As the profession of intelligent people, mages were not mere magical turrets, in fact in this regard warlocks were more suitable for this title.
Mages were more like a group of scientists exploring mysterious fields, and they were more willing to indulge in a certain field than to constantly increase the killing power of their magic.
The problem is that no matter which world, research costs money, the more powerful the mage the more money they spend, which leads to the mages can’t close their doors and focus on research, nor can they bury their heads in the ground and plant their fields to get resources, so how to fool the wrongdoers to get the money becomes their mandatory course.
In the past life, money for research and contract constraints, researchers do not dare to die to offend the gold master father, but this world, many mages are not very good reputation, even fooled with coercion, resulting in investors blood money has happened, but you can not beat him, after all, you can not figure out what the other side of the other side to do with your money, in case of a super magic bomb, how many are not enough people to die.
In the steam machinery has just been put into use, a mage sent to pay tribute, Maya with hair can guess what the other party wants to do.
“It seems the time has come when our allies are needed to reflect their value.” Maya whispered to herself before having the obeisance delivered to the man of the Black Hand, also known as Harvey.
Harvey was very clear about his current situation, not to mention that he had now become an elite member of Lord Little Thumb’s staff, but because of his previous failures and signs of betrayal, he had always been separated from the organization by an invisible layer of diaphragm.
However, he was hesitant to completely betray the organization and join Owen’s staff, so Harvey could only desperately show his ability, at least when he was abandoned by one party, he still had the value of being retained by the other party.
“Our ally needs information on Mage Bryan? Kind of interesting.” After hearing Harvey’s report, Little Thumb put down his hand and revealed a meaningful smile.
“Give it to them then, don’t hold back, I’d like to see this Lord Lord’s choice.” Little Thumb said indifferently to Harvey who hadn’t realized anything yet.
It didn’t take long for the information about Brian to be delivered to Maya by Harvey’s hand.
Brian did not conceal his whereabouts and origin when he traveled to Akita Town, causing the Black Hand’s people to notice this mage’s existence early on, and because of the other party’s profession and identity, the level of attention was not low, and the relevant intelligence had already completed some of the collection, so the information provided was slightly more detailed.
“Once an accompanying mage of the Imperial Border Army, and has been conducting a certain research under the support of the Imperial Border Army for as long as ten years, now that the cooperation has been dissolved, and arrived in Akita Town not long ago, it seems that he is really treating us as an ingrate looking for an investment.” Owen grinned, then put down the information in his hand and said to Maya.
“Continuing for ten years, even the Imperial Border Army is not willing to continue to invest money, it seems that this Bryan Mage’s research program is good, just too costly.” Maya said lightly.
The project that can make the Imperial Border Army invest money, naturally there is no need to say more, it must be attractive, the problem is that the project that can make the wealthy Imperial Border Army give up, who dares to continue to invest money into it? To know that the mage in order to continue their own research, the pit and cheat everything, as long as the money can be fooled, they do not care about the gold owner can not recover the investment, the pit of the investor’s blood money return of a lot of things, or how to say that the mage is a puddle of goods.
Therefore, the Imperial Border Army resolutely cut off the supply of stop-loss, which is countless years of mages to bring the lesson of blood and tears, do not feel to invest a sum of money to bet a hand, because the mage will let you feel what is called despair.
However, Owen has confidence in the other side of the project to achieve results, after all, he is open, and now the problem lies in the background of Brian mage.
Theoretically the other party now had nothing to do with the Imperial Border Army, but the problem was that once the project came to fruition, the Imperial Border Army would ignore it?
Owen didn’t think that the Imperial Border Army would be reasonable with him, so it was fine if he didn’t produce results, but once he did the trouble would be big.
When it comes to the Imperial Border Army, there is no such thing as a small matter, even if the other party only has the experience of serving in the Border Army, Owen still does not dare to be careless.
There is no way, the Imperial Border Army is the largest military group in the empire, even the emperor does not dare to ignore, what qualification does he have to dare to ignore each other.
All along Owen did not have too much in-depth understanding of the nearest Imperial Border Army, the initial impression was not deep, after all, even the primitive Northland barbarians are difficult to completely eliminate, but in the information provided by Maya, Howard, and the Black Hand, he only counted on the initial understanding of the Imperial Border Army is a monster of how horrible it is.
With the size of the empire and its population, the number of soldiers it possessed was a rather exaggerated figure.
Overall, the Empire’s military force could be divided into three parts, the Royal Legion, the Imperial Border Army, and the Guard Legion.
Among them, only the Royal Legion and the Border Army were truly capable of fighting and having the ability to go on expeditions.
However, the Royal Legion is responsible for guarding the imperial capital and suppressing the great nobles in the country, so it cannot be lightly moved and does not dare to move.
Although the garrison legions are the most numerous, numbering in the millions, they are responsible for guarding the major towns within the empire, and cannot be mobilized on weekdays at all, and their sources are complicated, whether they listen to the empire or the lords of various places is a problem.
Therefore, the Imperial Border Army, which is responsible for fighting against foreign enemies, has become a powerful military force that the empire can’t ignore at all.
Not to mention the exaggerated number of standing armies, the Empire’s borders also possessed a large scale of knights and mages, all of which were strategic level forces.
If the empire out of all kinds of concerns, perennial let the empire border army to stay put, the Northland barbarians simply can not get away with it for so many years, also do not need to borrow the Northland pioneering corps as the reason, just barely solved the Northland barbarians this trouble.
This does not mean that the Imperial Border Army is weak, but only because there are too many restrictions.
After all, no matter whether it is the emperor of the empire or the nobles from all over the world, they are all unwilling to see an out-of-control imperial border army.
