Why is the Waitrose Empire so strict on foreign magicians?

It turns out that forty years ago, Cyril, the current emperor of the Waitrose Empire, had just married his lover Heloise... a time when a pair of people who loved each other were about to become married.

Dick, another nobleman who also loved Heloise, actually invited a group of magicians from abroad to assassinate the two at their wedding ceremony.

In this assassination, Emperor Cyril survived by chance, but his lover Heloise fell in his arms and left him forever.

From then on, Emperor Cyril, in addition to vowing revenge on his enemies, also adopted very strict restrictions on magicians entering the empire, and even expelled a group of them indiscriminately.

Now that these restrictions have not been lifted, the strict surveillance and the seven-day deadline forced Zhou Ming to hurry up and find a way to get the recommendation letter.

However, in the huge city of Nirata, there are only a few elders of the Magic Association. It is quite difficult to get in touch with them and ask them to help write a letter and get it done within seven days.

Actually there is another way.

That is to gain the trust and appreciation of His Majesty the Emperor Cyril and obtain the qualification to join the Waitrose Empire nationality.

Only by becoming a member of the Waitrose Empire can you live freely here.

But this method is more difficult than getting a letter of recommendation. After all, the emperor is not that easy to meet. Even if you are qualified for naturalization, you must join the Imperial Mage Corps, serve the empire for three years, and perform well in all aspects before you can become a glorious Waitrose Empire. people.

Therefore, Zhou Ming completely ruled out the second option.

He could only find a way to get a letter of recommendation.

What to do?

Money opens the way.

In order to break into this continent, Zhou Ming was not unprepared.

The magic crystal card he carries contains a deposit of 50 million gold coins... none of which has been spent yet.

Four space rings with 1 cubic storage space on his hands (he has a total of 8 space rings, wearing four of them himself, giving one to Mr. Sales, two to his wife, and selling one to the old fox) Among them, there are more than 5,000 bottles of various magic potions, hundreds of magic scrolls, and a large amount of materials... The total value of these things exceeds 100 million gold coins.

So Zhou Ming fully had the capital to use money to pave the way.

In addition, Zhou Ming has a very good relationship with the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He is a strategic partner of the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry, so he can also use the connections of the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry to provide convenience for himself.

So in the next five days, through a series of magical operations, after throwing down millions of gold coins, Zhou Ming set up three lines.

Successfully established communication channels with three elders of the Magic Association.

Two of the elders knew their names, and one remained unnamed.

In addition, we also found out the specific needs of these three elders.

The first elder named Milans is currently raising funds to build a mage tower of his own, which costs about 500 million gold coins. If Zhou Ming wants to ask him to write a letter of recommendation, he must provide about 50 million gold coins. Sponsor, and the other party agrees to help.

Otherwise, no need to discuss.

"Writing a letter of recommendation and receiving 50 million gold coins is not..."

Henry was stunned. Isn't this the lion's mouth? How dare you charge so much money for just a letter?

Zhou Ming shook his head. For a magician who has entered the legendary realm, millions or tens of millions of gold coins are nothing. It is just a number. The more you take, the less you take, the key depends on his mood. If he is in a bad mood, He would offer 50 million or 100 million; if he was in a good mood at the time, it would be possible to receive 5 million or 10 million.

Obviously, this elder has a bad temper, and asking for his help requires paying a huge price.

The second elder is named Reynold. He is a little easier to talk to and is a master-level pharmacist. He is currently preparing the legendary [Dragon Blood Potion]. It is prepared with the blood of a true dragon, which can greatly improve the physique of a swordsman, but Since the success rate of preparing this potion is not high, after many failures, the true dragon's blood on hand has been used up, and now it is necessary to replenish a batch of true dragon's blood.

If Zhou Ming could help him get some real dragon blood, Reynold promised to write him the letter of recommendation.

"With the blood of a true dragon, do you want me to slay the dragon?"

Zhou Ming shook his head. Most of today's dragons live on Dragon Island to the east of the East China Sea. The distance is farther than going to the Magic City. It will take at least two years for Agni 1 to fly.

Moreover, dragons are very powerful. Some dragons have strong physical attacks and are immune to magic attacks. There are also some magical dragons whose adult strength is basically above the legendary level. There are also those at the level of Forbidden Mage and Magic Saint.

With Zhou Ming's current strength, going to Dragon Island would be like seeking death.

Therefore, Zhou Ming was unable to fulfill the second elder's request.

but……

Zhou Ming can completely fulfill the request made by the third unnamed elder.

You can even do better!

Because the elder's request was to buy a top-of-the-line "flying backpack".

good.

Flight backpack.

Using the principle of the Wind Demon Engine, the flying backpack that Zhou Ming worked on in the Dolan Empire spread to the Waitrose Empire a few years ago and became a popular flying device among magicians.

And in Niata City, the largest flying backpack production organization is the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Even the second-generation flying backpack launched by the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry can clearly be seen to be heavily derived from Zhou Ming’s design ideas.

So when they first received this request, Zhou Ming and the others were a little overjoyed. Wasn't this God helping them?

However, the elder also made a rigid request: "The flying backpack I want, whether in the sky or on the ground, must be faster than all flying backpacks!"

no problem.

No problem at all.

With the help of the system's huge computing power, it only took one day for Zhou Ming to make 36 improvements on a top-of-the-line flight backpack, making this top-of-the-line flight backpack not only reduce its weight by 11% , the maximum speed of air flight has been increased by 22%, and the maximum speed of ground activities has been increased by 17%.

Moreover, Zhou Ming did not spend a penny, and his improvements were extremely valuable in the eyes of the technical engineers of the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

…

Xia Sui, January 20th.

The last day Zhou Ming and the others could legally stay in Niata City.

When the improved version equipped with a flying backpack was delivered to the elder's home, Zhou Ming and the others could only wait for news.

…

In the north of the city, there is a large independent Gothic-style villa with an average floor number of more than five floors.

"Ding dong~"

After the magic doorbell rang, the servant opened the door.

"This is a gift from the Chamber of Commerce to Mr. Elder, please accept it." A person in charge of the Continental Chamber of Commerce said as he handed over the gift box in his hand.

"Okay." The servant took the gift.

In the afternoon, a forty-year-old man in the laboratory on the third floor finally came out after finishing his work.

The servant quickly reported to him: Someone from the Continental Chamber of Commerce sent a gift.

"Oh, they sent the 'fastest' flying backpack?"

Terry Ganis's eyes lit up and he asked the servant to bring the gift over. Then he took the gift and walked up to the top floor. He unpacked the gift box and took out the flight backpack inside which was so exquisitely made that he was amazed. Somewhat impatiently, I put the flight backpack on myself and conducted some tests.

Let’s see if it is the fastest “flying backpack”?

After more than an hour of testing.

Return to the roof of the villa.

Terry Ganis had a smile on his face.

"Winnie will love it."

"She's going to love this birthday present!"

"I bet that no flying backpack can fly as fast as it does!"

Terry Ganis was extremely satisfied. His great-granddaughter was about to turn 27. He had been thinking about what gift to give to his great-granddaughter for the past few days. However, his great-granddaughter was more discerning and was worth tens of millions of gains. I don't like the magic wand, and I don't particularly like the various beautiful blessing gems and magic gathering gems.

Considering that she has been working hard to practice magic skills and improve her speed over the years, Terry Gannis thought about giving her great-granddaughter a flying backpack known as the "fastest flying" for her birthday. A gift she will love very much.

However, as a senior elder of the Magic Association, Terry Gannis never easily accepts gifts from others and rarely helps irrelevant people. It is his fair and selfless character that allows him to serve as a magician for six consecutive years. Elders of the Association.

But he accepted today's gift, and he was willing to help with the "little favor" offered by the other party. As long as he made his great-granddaughter smile, what did it mean if he gave up a few principles?

It's evening.

After completing a day of study at Niata High School of Magic, Winnie returned home.

Various birthday gifts were placed in front of her.

Parents, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all at home, offering their blessings.

Only then did she realize that today was her birthday.

As of today, she is 27 years old.

Her mother, Olivia, gave her a magic doll in the image of a prince, and said naggingly: "Daughter, you are not young anymore, it's time to find a prince of your own."

Winnie didn't bother to pay attention.

Her father, Innes, gave her a magic robe, which had powerful waterproof and fireproof functions and strong defense. He told her: "You often compete with others in the ring, so you must pay attention to safety."

Winnie nodded.

Grandpa Hall gave her a few bottles of [Super Magic Potion], hoping that she would be promoted to a great magician as soon as possible.

"I just broke through Grandpa yesterday, and now I am a great magician." Winnie said with a smile.

Grandpa Hall could only say awkwardly: "Then I wish you will be promoted to legend as soon as possible!"

Hall Ganis was indeed embarrassed. Due to his lack of talent, his strength had always stayed at the level of a high-level magician. Unexpectedly, even his granddaughter had surpassed him.

As for the flying backpack given by her great-grandfather, Winnie's eyes lit up the moment the gift box was opened.

When her great-grandfather said that this was a flying rucksack customized from the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry that was "the fastest in the air and on the ground," Winnie immediately put the flying rucksack on her body and went for a spin outside.

More than an hour later.

Winnie is back.

She said very excitedly: "It's too fast, it's faster than I imagined!"

"Now I am no longer afraid of any opponent!"

"They are fast, I can be faster than them!"

"Great-grandfather, thank you for giving me this gift. I like it very much!"

Winnie was very excited and a little eager to try.

Because when the flying backpack first appeared, she had the idea of ​​​​purchasing it, but she also wanted to test her limits. Therefore, in the ring, she did not wear a flying backpack and competed with many opponents wearing flying backpacks. Competition.

The result was naturally quite embarrassing. Under the high-speed blows from her opponents, Wei Ni's mind once thought of the man who had brought a shadow to her.

But she still gritted her teeth and persevered. On the one hand, she wanted to overcome the shadow in her mind; on the other hand, she hoped to exercise her reaction ability when she was at a disadvantage.

After two years of training, Wei Ni feels that she has made great progress.

Now, she got another set of "fastest flying" flying backpack.

Her self-confidence grew immensely.

She believes that at the same level, her strength is no worse than any magician!

She even considered going to the Yadud Kingdom, finding that man, and taking his life with an absolute advantage.

Let him see her progress, let him see her speed!

Then use his body to prove your growth!

In short, at this moment, Wei Ni's mood was as clear and comfortable as ever.

…

After the sumptuous dinner.

night.

In Terry Ganis' study.

A magic lamp is still burning.

With his head bent over his desk, Terry Ganis was writing the letter of recommendation as promised.

"Great-grandfather, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Winnie walked in wearing a nightgown. Her room was downstairs from the study room, and she had bad resting habits. Not only could she not hear any sound, she could not have any extra light.

When her great-grandfather was busy writing in the study, the light of the magic lamp was very bright, and his thoughts were not smooth, he liked to stamp his feet on the floor. It was strange that she could enter a meditative state.

"I'm very sorry, Winnie, for disturbing your rest. I'll write it right away."

Terry Ganis spread his hands and said to his great-granddaughter with an apology.

suddenly!

On the letter paper placed in front of her great-grandfather, Winnie, with her sharp eyes, suddenly saw a familiar name in the large paragraph of text!

An extremely familiar name that was unforgettable to her!
