Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 108 New Team
"There are only five places, and four more haven't been confirmed yet."

The crowd did not notice anything unusual and continued to discuss it.

Roy looked at Andov's performance, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

But he did not press the issue, but instead focused on the quota issue.

"Let's recruit openly," Niya suggested. "You're the boss of the apprentices in the tower now. There's no need to limit your search to just those you know."

"That makes sense. Then I'll take out the last four spots."

Roy readily accepted the advice.

This conscription is not as dangerous as the high magic world that Sophia and the others are going to.

In the eyes of many apprentices in the tower, it is still worth a try, so soon there was a lot of response.

Roy carefully selected four people from them, namely Ivant, Ottoli, Grete, and a female apprentice named Perry.

Among them, Ivant was the guy with wood elf blood who had previously assisted Kanila and others in spying on him.

Roy recruited him to act as a scout, which was also a skill he had.

Ottoli, Grete and Perri were just taking a chance.

They are all apprentices over thirty years old.

After being promoted to a senior level, he stayed in the tower for many years without seeing any hope of further advancement.

Roy couldn't see any talent in them yet, but they were very proactive and willing to sign follower contracts with great benefits, which was a big advantage.

……

Once again, everyone went to Roy and sat around to discuss.

Roy briefly explained the basic situation of Knightland to everyone.

"Nightland is a world inhabited by the Centaurs, descendants of the Orcs, and is also known as the 'Knight World'.

500 years ago, our great wizard discovered it and sent several high-level wizards to fight it.

It has been successfully colonized for hundreds of years and is now in the hands of my teacher, Mr. Frost.”

Olinda said, "I seem to have heard that this world is rich in centaurs!"

Wizards often raid and colonize a world.

Centaur slaves are a local specialty.

This can be deployed to other alien battlefields to conquer and plunder more worlds.

"That's right. Once a centaur hero above level one appears in that world, they will be hunted down or tamed!"

Roy looked around at everyone, and as they all looked thoughtful, he continued.

"Don't worry. Wizard-level enemies are rare in this world. Once they appear, they will be hunted down and killed.

The vast majority of Centaur natives are low-level knights, with only a few brave and skilled warriors reaching the middle and high levels.

Those who are comparable to senior knights and grand knights are all big figures at the general level.

When we go there, we will also be assisted by the Kingdom's army. They are a force that the colonies have already surrendered to, and their secular resources are at their disposal."

"So, our main task is to maintain rule?"

"In a world like that, where war technology is backward, there's still room for us to make use of it."

After hearing this, everyone started discussing it heatedly.

When it comes to promotion locally, qualifications are the most important thing.

But outside, there are achievements and adventures.

As long as they are not so unlucky and die in a foreign land, everyone may have the opportunity to be promoted to senior apprentice or above.

There are definitely more opportunities here than in the local Wu Tower, and the degree of freedom is also higher.

Thinking of this, even the several intermediate apprentices who had been nervous before felt relieved.

They already possess enhancements above the level of an intermediate knight, coupled with the spellcasting abilities of wizard apprentices, as well as the spells and technological advantages of the high magic world, and I believe they can achieve great things.

"How dare the native barbarians cause trouble for no reason?"

During the conversation, Andov suddenly asked a question that caught everyone's attention. "Perhaps, like those places where colonization failed in the past, excessive plundering has sparked resistance."

"It's also possible that the Arcane Empire is secretly causing trouble. Those mages are our enemies all the time."

Everyone speculated.

Roy said: "The teacher didn't tell me the specific reason, but I have some guesses."

"What guess?" Everyone looked at him.

Roy said: "In the vast universe, with countless races, not all of them have a sense of nation or ethnicity.

Taking the concept of orcs as an example, some worlds have already seen the emergence of the Orc Empire and the integration of various races, but some worlds are still stuck in the era of tribal confrontation and fighting each other.

The tiger people simply use the sheep people, rabbit people, pig people, etc. as food. How can they possibly work together?

Even among the same sheep people, there are goats and sheep. What’s more, because of the same habits and food, people of the same species and tribe are more likely to be at odds with each other.”

When everyone heard this, they nodded secretly.

Roy continued, "The Knight Kingdom that my teacher ruled this time was a nation created in an originally barbaric and backward region.

The original idea was to make it easier to train the Centaur Legion so that they could be brought to other worlds as slaves or as mounts for other slave legions.

But they did not expect that it would backfire and only increase the cost of governance.

With the reduction of the Governor's Office's investment, the barbaric tribes in the borderlands have risen, and they are gradually returning to the tribal era of the past. Naturally, they will no longer worship wizards as their masters, and will not recognize the concept of kingdoms or monarchs. "

"We are indeed bad at governing."

"Many colonies are also fishing out of the pond."

After hearing this, everyone probably guessed what was going on.

However, this is not because the wizards are short-sighted, but sometimes, starting over again is cheaper and more efficient.

Conquering a new plane and world may also bring more benefits.

Like Atland, there are not many magic crystal mines, and the supernatural power is at a low magic level. It cannot be ranked among the many colonies.

A few hundred years of continuous rule is considered long enough, and the cost has been recovered long ago.

In fact, it may not necessarily be a failure.

"Don't worry about it for now, we'll talk about it when we get there.

Our current task is to learn the common language of Atlantis, so that we don’t go there without understanding anything.”

Roy withdrew his thoughts and gave an order.

Immediately, the party was announced to be over.

Everyone agreed and discussed with each other about going to the library to borrow materials, trying to master them as soon as possible.

The proud wizards will not take the initiative to use the indigenous language.

But not having to and not knowing are two different things.

After everyone left, Roy looked thoughtful.

"what happened to you?"

Celine stayed and originally wanted to discuss the recycling of miscellaneous items with him, but seeing this, she couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, just thinking of something."

Roy shook his head slightly.

It was obvious that this was just a perfunctory response.

Celine frowned slightly.

But I knew I couldn't pry him open, so I left without saying anything.

What she didn't know was that Roy was actually worried about being promoted to a formal wizard.

"This means that everything is ready, but the most crucial promotion is still not happening!
I’m actually… not a genius!”
