Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 335 The Supreme Magic Council is Established

In Jiang Yuan's vision, the Supreme Magic Council was destined to become a colossal entity overseeing numerous magical affairs. Its scope and responsibilities were far too vast to be fully clarified in just one or two meetings.

Once the Supreme Magic Council is established, someone will naturally set up the overall framework; this is an innate human ability.

After outlining the core framework, Jiang Yuan prepared to conclude this significant meeting.

"...After the Supreme Magic Council is established, it will have one Supreme Speaker and three Supreme Vice Speakers. In principle, the magic rank of these four people must reach the level of forbidden spells. Note that this is in principle. In special circumstances, it may be appropriately relaxed with the consent of more than two-thirds of all council members, but the bottom line shall not be lower than that of quasi-forbidden spells."

"The remaining members are all councilors, with the strength threshold set at the super-rank level, and they must have made outstanding contributions or have a recognized reputation in the field of magic. Not all super-rank and forbidden spellcasters can automatically enter the council; they must be elected through a dual process of regional nomination and core member voting to obtain a seat."

"Alright, that's all I wanted to say about the core structure of the parliament."

Jiang Yuan tapped his fingertips lightly on the throne, producing a crisp echo: "On this matter, I have always advocated democracy. Any questions or suggestions can be raised now. If no one objects, today's meeting will be adjourned."

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, taking in the thoughts of everyone present.

Well, I have a lot of ideas.

However, the beneficial parts can be used.

A brief silence fell over the meeting room; some people frowned in thought, while others exchanged glances.

A moment later, an elderly man dressed in a dark purple robe slowly stood up.

He was among the first group of forbidden spells to join the Forbidden Spells Guild, and those older than him had all died long ago.

The old man first bowed to Jiang Yuan as a mage, then inquired, "Your Majesty, now that the Holy City has been destroyed, the Forbidden Spells Guild should be dissolved. Now that the Supreme Magic Council is about to be established, what is the position of us Forbidden Spells mages in the new system? Will we still be subject to so many rules and regulations as we were in the Forbidden Spells Guild?"

This question is like a pebble thrown into a lake, instantly creating ripples.

Not only were the forbidden spellcasters holding their breath awaiting the answer, but spellcasters of other ranks were also paying close attention.

The power of forbidden spells is enough to move mountains and fill seas; if left unchecked, they will inevitably bring annihilation to order.

Jiang Yuan stopped tapping his fingers and pondered, "I can answer this question for you. After the Supreme Magic Council is established, it will issue a code of conduct for mages, which includes clauses that restrict forbidden spell mages."

“I can tell you in advance that the rules will prohibit forbidden spellcasters from using magic beyond the limits in human settlements, whether it is a city, a village or a trading post. This is not only to prevent damage to buildings, but also to avoid the injury or death of innocent people.”

He looked up at the crowd, his tone becoming more serious: "There is only one exception: with the approval of the Supreme Magic Council, forbidden spellcasters can break free from the constraints. Without permission, anyone who casts spells beyond the limits will be punished as a violator, regardless of their status."

"Remember, this rule applies not only to forbidden spellcasters, but to everyone from novice to forbidden spellcasters!"

The old man nodded slightly after listening, but then asked, "Your Majesty, I have another question. If there are indeed forbidden spellcasters who violate the rules, who has the ability to punish them? You must know that ordinary spellcasters are powerless against forbidden spells."

"Furthermore, if the power of the council is concentrated in the hands of a few powerful individuals, especially if forbidden spellcasters hold important positions, even if they do not use magic to disrupt order, they may still use their power to weave a web of corruption, which could breed even more terrible corruption."

This Supreme Magic Council already wields immense power, and coupled with the terrifying cultivation levels of its members, it is indeed an easy breeding ground for corruption.

Although Jiang Yuan is able to see into people's hearts and promptly expose those who have fallen into depravity, he cannot keep an eye on every corner of the council at all times, much less handle every matter personally.

Therefore, an oversight system is essential. "My solution is simple: in addition to establishing a Supreme Magic Council, I will also establish a Supreme Magic Oversight Council, and no human mage will be a member of this organization."

Why not allow monks to serve as inspectors?
Who has the ability to restrain those mages who can destroy the world with a mere wave of their hand?

Are we going to have an ordinary person with no magical abilities do this?
It's just a fantasy!

Jiang Yuan raised his hand to silence the murmurs of the crowd and continued, "The core members of the Supreme Magic Oversight Council will all be Emperor-level beings. The regional oversight branches will be staffed by Monarch-level and Commander-level beings, respectively."

"Let demons monitor the sorcerers?!" a young sorcerer exclaimed in shock.

Before humans mastered magic, demons enslaved them and even ate them.

After humans acquired magic, they began to fight with demons and monsters for territory.

Even the totem era ended in the hands of humankind.

In most people's minds, demons are naturally the opposite of humans, and it's a life-or-death relationship.

It's hard to accept that demons have become members of the Supreme Magical Oversight Council, and that there isn't a single human mage among them.

“Demons are much more obedient than humans, aren’t they?” Jiang Yuan retorted.

Human nature's inherent flaws are often closely linked to desires, and even the strongest relationships can break down because of desires.

Although not everyone succumbs to desire, most people are not immune, otherwise there wouldn't be so many stories praising the fight against desire.

But demons are different. Most of them, compared to humans, don't have many ambitions and aren't good at scheming. They are relatively "simple".

Moreover, with Jiangyuan's power, they are capable of making them do anything willingly, even suicide.

Rather than being monitors, they are more like monitoring tools—tools without their own thoughts, only capable of acting according to Jiang Yuan's instructions.

"But this..." The person who spoke was speechless.

"Your Majesty, your decision is absolutely correct." Dean Xiao, who had been silent for a long time, was the first to stand up and support it.

Others also expressed their support upon seeing this.

Actually, it doesn't matter if he doesn't support it. Jiang Yuan can become a dictator at any time and forcibly implement the demon surveillance system.

After that, no one spoke in the meeting room.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Jiang Yuan straightened up from his throne and slowly said, "Since everyone has no objections, I hereby formally announce that the Supreme Magic Council is officially established today!"

"The Supreme Magic Oversight Council is established simultaneously, and from this moment on, it will officially assume the function of overseeing the Magic Council."
