Chapter 299 Santis' Mission
Carmel's last sentence was full of momentum, but Gawain didn't take it too seriously.
No sorcerer could resist what Carmel mentions—not even the most self-appreciated traditional archmages.
Although some of Kamel's ancient spells are indeed unusable in this era, and although many of the ancient technologies known to Kamel are products that can only be realized by relying on the Deep Blue Well, the ancient magus still has countless skills that can make The knowledge that contemporary spellcasters are infatuated with, those long-lost magic formations, rune knowledge, and classical spells, as long as one-tenth of them can still be used, it is enough to create an uproar in the traditional mage circle.
What's more, Carmel himself, an ancient magus who has survived from the age of sparks and transformed into an arcane body, is enough for the mages in the capital to experience a shock.
What Gawain has to consider now is not whether Cecil Land is attractive to the mages in the capital, but whether Kamel should be exposed to the circle of traditional mages now, and whether those attracted mages will spread the news to what extent.
He did not intend to draw the attention of the traditional mage circle to Cecil's "land of deviance" prematurely, because the order implemented in this land was contrary to the traditional mage circle from the beginning, although Gawain was not afraid Those who are already rotten, but this is a critical stage in the development of Cecil Land, and attracting hostility prematurely will only disrupt many of his plans.
But he also won't give up the opportunity to recruit talents from the capital - it's good to find a balance between these two things.
He said his thoughts, and Carmel immediately understood Gawain's concerns, and the ancient magus let out a deep laugh: "Lord, you are right, if those mediocrity know Cecil's leadership A craftsman in my country could weld something with a searing ray, and I'm afraid it would go mad."
"So we have to control the spread of news, and also control the content of news," Gawain looked at Santis, "You said that the desolate mages in the capital have their own small circle, then you can ensure that the news is only in this kind of small circle. Does it flow? For a few months or a year at least, news only flows in small circles."
Santis tugged at his buttons a little nervously.
But after a short thought, he still gave a positive answer: "Lord Lord, I can guarantee - and I don't think this even needs to be controlled deliberately. As long as you give a little guidance, no one will spread the news everywhere..."
"Oh?"
"Magicians won't let resources fall into the hands of others," Santis showed a helpless smile, "especially 'knowledge'.
"Just tell them that I was lucky enough to be favored by the lord in Cecil, and I came into contact with a little knowledge about ancient magic, and got a little advice from the ancient magus, and let them realize that these resources and opportunities are quite limited, then News will naturally be limited to small circles, and even if you want to spread it out, it will take a lot of effort..."
As he spoke, the young arcanist could not help but sigh softly.
He thought of the children in the school, the eyes thirsting for knowledge, the textbooks and books that everyone could read, and the sense of accomplishment when sharing knowledge.
The longer he lived in Cecil, the more he could not adapt to the way of life in the capital—even if those lives had become memories for him.
"Well... It's also a problem that it can't be spread at all, but as long as you pay attention to the guidance, it seems that everything can be done," Gawain didn't know what Santis was thinking, he was just weighing who should give this matter to To complete, "Amber, is there a suitable candidate for the first phase of operators?"
"Witch Jibry, she is a good-natured woman, and she knows some wild spells, let's just count as a magic apprentice, and fast-legged Pierce, he doesn't understand magic, but he is very clever, he can act as a guard, in the mission But it is definitely not acceptable to let them go to the capital to perform tasks alone - they have never been to the capital, and there is no way to enter the circle of mages in the capital."
"Of course, they are only responsible for flickering, the people who are really responsible for leading the way..." Gawain said while looking at Santis, "Mr. Santis, are you willing to go back to the capital?"
If you want to successfully recruit talents, you must also control the direction of news and screen recruiting targets in the process, then it is obviously not enough to rely on only a few letters. Santis is the best person to go to the capital to preside over this matter— - Of course, this introverted and lacking self-confidence Mr. Arcanist is probably not good at doing things independently, so Gawain will arrange for him one or two helpers, those operators who have received a lot of training in the Military Security Intelligence Agency just fit.
Santis was stunned for a moment after hearing Gawain's words, looking a little hesitant.
He was reluctant to leave the academy, much less to return to that dull and depressing place - but he knew he had to obey the lord's orders.
"You don't have to stay in the capital for too long," Gawain said when he saw it, "you just need to be a guide, and then the people I send will set up a longer-term base in the capital, and wait for you to go well with the capital. You can come back after you have established contact with the Mage Circle. You set out in a carriage, escorted by soldiers, and if you hurry along the way, one month is enough to travel back and forth—plus the time you spent in the capital, you should be able to return just in time. Catch up with the new round of immigration in the territory, and there will be a new batch of new students in the college."
When Gawain went to Wang, he deliberately slowed down his pace. He basically stopped at every village along the way, and he made a lot of detours. As a result, it took almost two months for one trip, but in fact Ansu is a land from north to south. In a narrow country, it is not a long journey from the southern border to the capital.
After learning of these arrangements, Santis was relieved, and he nodded vigorously: "I won't let you down."
Gao Wen nodded slightly: "During the period of time you left the academy, your courses will be taken by others temporarily. I will let Jenny choose a suitable substitute teacher, and then you can hand over to her. In addition, you will arrive in the capital. After that, I can live in the mansion at No. 4 Crown Street and use it as a base for my activities. It is my mansion in the royal capital. It is very safe and can avoid being disturbed by other people.”
When he heard that he was going to live in the Duke's mansion, Santiston couldn't help but start to get nervous...
At this time, Amber mentioned a sentence next to him: "Speaking of you suddenly sending someone back to the capital, do you need to give an explanation? The nobles in the capital are very easy to get nervous..."
"What else is there to say about arrangement? It's clearly announced that it is for recruiting people, and there is no need to explain or cover it up," Gawain said indifferently, "Anyway, no matter how many excuses I think, as long as I send someone to the capital, then Helping a jittery guy to make up a bunch of intentions, it's better to be honest, I can save a lot of thought, it's their problem how they like to figure it out. And recruiting talent is not a shameful thing. "
Amber's ears trembled: "It's also..."
"As long as I don't return to the capital, neither the king nor the nobles of the capital have any right to intervene in the affairs of the Cecil family. The title of duke is very useful in this regard," Gawain said. While taking out a piece of parchment specially used for writing noble documents, he wrote a document and stamped his emblem, "Mr. Santis, take this, you are my pie. Recruit envoys of mages to the capital - this is your public identity. As for the 'secret' of Cecil's territory, you have to find a way to organize a secret meeting, and the officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau will instruct you how to do this kind of thing Don't be nervous or stressed, as long as you hold this, you represent a duke, and those who should be nervous are the 'little mages' standing in front of you."
Santis slightly panicked and took the document that Gawain handed over, and in the process ripped off his button like last time: "Yes... Yes, my lord!"
"Remember, you have to come from a clean background and have no 'worries'. We don't need to be a mage of combat power, let alone a noble mage of the facade. Although those with family involvement and school background can also be absorbed, but they must be Get to know their details - it doesn't matter if you don't ask, the OIA operatives will know what to say, and you need to consider their opinions more."
"I understand," Santis put the document close to him solemnly, then hesitated, uttering an idea that had been lingering in his mind for a long time, "My lord, in fact I hope... The family came too."
"Your family..." Gawain recalled slightly, "Ah, it's your parents, right?"
"Actually... there is also a younger brother who is an apprentice to others and a younger sister," Santis bowed his head, "I hope to take them all over."
A heartfelt smile appeared on Gao Wen's face: "Of course there is no problem. In fact, you are not the only one who wants to take over your family. More than half of the hundred people who came from the capital with you have already applied to me. I hope to bring my family to Cecil's lead, I have agreed, but I haven't had time to organize an escort team, this time you can just take the opportunity to do this in the past."
Santis and Carmel left with satisfaction, while Amber looked at Gawain's expression and couldn't help saying, "You look in a good mood."
"Is there?"
"It's too obvious to laugh," Amber raised his eyebrows, "Why are you so happy when they want to take over the family?"
"It's different from wanting to stay here and wanting to bring my family here," Gawain explained patiently, "The former can be loyalty, honor, responsibility or profit-driven, but the latter There is only one explanation: Cecil Land has truly become a beautiful place in their minds, and they have completely taken root here."
"Is that so..." Amber blinked and seemed to understand, "Even if this place is next to the Gondor Wasteland, and they were attacked by monsters not long ago, they are still willing to take their family over... That's really enough. of."
"It's better to say that not long ago, we wiped out all monsters outside the city walls without anyone being killed, which strengthened the confidence of the craftsmen and scholars from the capital," Gawain nodded, "In this era , the people's sense of security comes from whether the lord and the lord's army can protect them, if so, then the Dark Mountains can also be a livable paradise, if not, then even living in the Holy Spirit Plain is still precarious."
Seeing Amber's serious face and starting to think there, Gawain couldn't help laughing: "Okay, don't think about this. Help me take care of it again - I'm going to 'meditate' again."
"Again? Is it the same as last time?"
"Free wifi, no rubbing, no rubbing."
"...Hey, you're saying such a strange thing that no one can understand!"
