Chapter 199: Ignoring the Temptation
The camp where the regiment commander was also a small castle, with a large number of fifth-level battles guarding outside. After checking the orders carried by several mages, a warrior led the mages to find the room where the legion commander was. However, the mages still suffered many inspections along the way. Just as Shaoko couldn't bear it, the inspections also disappeared.
The room where the Legion commander was located was very large. There were many beautiful patterns carved on the tall wooden doors, and some fine gems were inlaid on it. There were not many people in the house, only a dozen mages sat scattered on the chairs surrounding the long table. The long table was covered with a layer of scarlet silk, and dozens of gold and silver branches were placed on it. Hundreds of sandalwood candles were burning silently, illuminating the whole room, which made Shaoke very uncomfortable.
He tried his best to find a position that received less light and put on his cloak to block the soft light. The fragrance of the sandalwood candle calmed down Shaoko's somewhat irritable spirit. Since the master did not arrive, he sat there and began to recall his magical knowledge to deepen his impression. He used this to pass the waiting time.
As time went by, most of the officers came in one after another, but there were not many mages, only more than twenty, and most of them were fourth-level mages, and only three or five in fifth-level. However, these did not attract his attention for too long. He is now almost completely immersed in magic knowledge. He only left some subtle mental power to detect the surrounding situation so as to facilitate timely observation of the arrival of the legion commander.
The door was opened again, and the white-haired commander came in surrounded by several senior officers with straight body. After he sat down, he signaled the clerk beside him to come and click the number of people here. Of course, he just counted the number and names of the officers. After all, the clerk did not know the name of the mages, not to mention that the commander had already explained that there was no need to be lighter to these mages in detail.
A document full of common texts on the mainland was handed to Shaoke. The commander of the legion said: "My wizards, officers, I think you should have a solution to what happened here. Of course, even if this method is not mature, it doesn't matter. I think my think tanks will definitely get some inspiration from your method." Although the legion commander said this, most of his eyes were swept over the wizards. After all, he had already understood the abilities of the officers under his commander. And the officers also knew who the main target of the legion commander was this time, so they just roughly read the documents and closed their eyes to rest.
The mages just read the things recorded in the file in detail, and used what they knew to give solutions. There was actually not much content on the file, but simply mentioned the things like transporting some ordinary supplies to the front line and building roads.
However, it also mentioned the issue of handling prisoners of war transported back from the front line.
After reading the details, Shaoke quickly thought of the answer, and then sat straight there waiting for the next question from the Legion Commander. When all the mages stopped reading the documents, the legion commander waited for a while and asked the solutions given by the mages one by one, and the local clerk on the side recorded the situation of the land in detail. When the officer asked Shaoke, he just said his thoughts. Of course, like the local mage in front, the legion commander signaled him to sit down.
After the inquiry, the commander of the army asked all the officers to leave here, leaving only one clerk to record by his side. "My masters, are you interested in participating in some simple government affairs?" The commander of the army looked at the wizards helplessly, "You should know that most of these officers have focused on cultivation, but few people are focused on government affairs. Moreover, the cultivation of the empire has never been able to keep up with the needs of major legions, so I hope that you, who are knowledgeable, can undertake some tasks."
The corps commander's words quickly caused riots among the mages. The mages whispered to each other. They felt very difficult to accept the sudden question raised by the corps commander. After all, they needed to spend a lot of time studying magic knowledge. They did not want to waste time on these cumbersome government affairs.
Seeing the riots of the mages and some mages showing dissatisfaction, the Legion Commander was even more helpless. Because there was a lot of knowledge that ordinary people could not learn. What's more, although the empire has been promoting large-scale education for tens of thousands of years, training of land government personnel for various reasons could not meet the needs of the empire. Therefore, thousands of years ago, a legion began to make these knowledgeable land mages, hoping to train these wizards to be able to handle simple government personnel. The Blizzard Legion also tried and continued this method.
"If you can accept the government processing of simple and time-consuming government affairs, your subsidies will be doubled. And you can read some books unique to the military. There are also some precious magic materials for you to use.
"At this point, the Legion Commander added: "There are already many mages: positions, and there is also a sixth-level mage who is now engaged in the government affairs of agriculture."
The temptation of the legion commander was moved by some mages. When they heard that there were higher-level mages engaged in this kind of government affairs, they all said they needed to consider it. Of course, there were also few mages who rejected the proposal. This included Shaoko, because he really looked down on the books and magic materials provided by the military headquarters. After all, the books and magic materials provided by the Death Mage Group were more precious, and there was also a lot of money for him to use. This was not enough to tempt him.
The wizards who refused the ground and the legion commander asked Shao Ke and others to leave here first. Because some problems in the future were not something they could know. Of course, the wizards did not feel dissatisfied with it. After all, every wizard has experienced this situation several times.
When Shaoko returned to the room, Roman, wearing a golden robe, was leaning on the writing table to read the books on the Shaoko. When she saw Shaoko, she reminded him as soon as she opened her mouth to call her an alchemist in the future. After all, she and the transfer were successful.
Facing the smile on the face of the Roman mage, Shaoko readily agreed. Then he asked the other party about the purpose of coming here. He did not believe that the female mage Roman took time to chat with him when he was busy.
"I already have the ability to make the Sky Stone Bead into a permanent magic prop, but it will take some time to wait." Master Roman closed the book and hugged it in his arms. It seemed that he was planning to take the book away.
Shaoke nodded, and he found that the thin thread that had been hanging on the female mage's neck had disappeared. It seemed that as she said, magic props had begun to be made. The two talked about some changes after the transfer and some preparations before the transfer, the female mage made a request that Shaoke could not refuse.
"Lend me the basic book again, I want to see it." As she said that, she gently patted the heavy book in her arms, hoping that Shaoke could agree to her request.
Although she didn't understand why the Roman wizard who had lost the ability to cast spells still borrowed these books, Shaoko still agreed to her very readily, taking a large number of precious books out of the magic bag and the other party was on the bed. Shaoko said proudly: "What do you want to see? Just choose whatever you want here! I will not refuse your request."
Although the female mage Roman learned through her uncle who worked for the Death Mages that Death Mages would get a large number of books and precious magic materials when leaving the Death Mages, his uncle did not tell her in detail at the beginning. Therefore, when he saw Shaoke constantly taking out the precious books, his little mouth opened in surprise.
Seeing Master Roman's surprised look, Shaoko stopped his behavior of continuing to pick up books from outside. "It must be the commander of the Legion asked you to come to me to borrow books!" He guessed like this.
Faced with Shaoke's speculation, the female mage turned her head and ignored him with a red face, but looked at the books piled on the bed with a panic look. "Can I take them all? These books will never be damaged." As she said that, she turned her envious eyes to Shaoke, because having a large number of precious books is what every mage dreams of. What's more, many of the books Shaoke took out this time were books that were not in the Blizzard Legion.
Staring at the female mage's eyes tightly, Shaoke waited for a while and finally agreed to the female mage's request. "Will the Blizzard Legion pay you a reward for my efforts?" As he said that, he gently stroked the female mage's long hair. He had not had an intimate behavior with her for a long time, which made him feel a little impulsive. Fortunately, reason helped him, because it was not the time now.
"Yes." The female mage raised her head slightly and let Shaoke caress her long hair. "Everything you need, the Blizzard Legion will provide unconditionally, well! I'm the same." After saying that, he suddenly said softly: "Reduce some medications! The amount of medication you take during this period has exceeded the amount of medications that many mages of the same level take."
The female mage's words made Shaoke's movements a little stiffer, but he didn't care too much, because even the medicines he took in the Death Mage Group had not decreased at all. What's more, the advanced mages of the Death Mage Group had never asked him about it, let alone the people from the Blizzard Legion?
"I'm worried that long-term use of the medicine will affect your body's recovery." Speaking of this, the female mage shyly touched Shaoke's cheeks that had just recovered. She felt that this was a bit fleshier than before.
