King

A military alliance was quickly formed under Hudson's guidance. The fair-weather friends around him suddenly became "one of our own", and the atmosphere of the banquet was once again pushed to a climax.

Seeing everyone celebrating wildly, Hudson, who was smiling broadly, shook his head secretly.

It is estimated that this is the most hasty military alliance in the world. There is no agreement on the rights and obligations of each party, and the alliance is announced directly.

How effective it can be depends entirely on everyone's moral integrity. On the battlefield, Hudson had no idea whether he could be relied upon or not.

Perhaps if the interests are consistent, it can still be regarded as an alliance. If a conflict of interest occurs, everything will fall apart in an instant.

Even so, Hudson still feels the alliance is valuable. Apart from anything else, the problem of being passive and slacking off in work and filling in the gaps will be solved.

As long as Earl Pierce is not stupid, he will not go into details. After all, rules are always for the weak.

With more than thirty knights and several thousand soldiers, they are not a small force if you look at the entire southeastern province. If we continue to carry forward the tradition of aristocratic alliances, we can continue to attract people to join us on the road.

Although this kind of loose alliance does not have much fighting power, it is more capable of intimidating people! Especially for the upper-class rulers, they not only have to consider the power of the alliance on paper, but also the influence of the families to which the nobles belong.

Just as Hudson was thinking about what to do next, the Chelsea Knight suddenly came over.

"Little Hudson, you seem to have something on your mind?"

It can be seen that he seems to be in a good mood now. I have time to care about these small details.

"Uncle Chelsea, I also like magic research, but I don't have the materials, so I want to trade you for some magic cores or magic crystals."

Hudson said smoothly.

In the continent of Aslant, magic cores and magic crystals are common currencies and are more useful than any gold or silver coins.

After all, the specifications of gold and silver coins issued by each country are different. Some powerful nobles also mint their own coins, and the currency value is often affected by the conscience of the minter.

When conducting international trade settlements, currency conversion is very difficult. For many large currency settlements, everyone prefers to use magic crystals or magic cores with more stable values.

Coupled with the role of magic crystals and magic cores in wars, as well as their special effects on magicians, alchemists and other industries, they directly lead to the fact that they are rarely circulated in the market.

At first, Hudson thought he could buy it if he had money. After learning the real situation, he decisively chose to give up.

Affected by many factors, even if there is an occasional outflow, it will often be sold at a sky-high price, and the price-performance ratio is pitifully low. If you want to obtain it on a large scale, you still have to rely on secret transactions through relationships.

As far as Hudson knows, the price at which the Mage Association obtains these two strategic resources from the Kingdom is only one-third of the retail price on the market.

Although nobles also have quotas that can be exchanged, the prerequisite is to become a magician first. Under this background, even if ordinary small nobles have collections, the quantity will definitely not be large, and they will not be traded unless necessary.

The Chelsea knight in front of him was engaged in magic research every day and had developed so many useless magic technologies. He definitely couldn't lack these two things.

The most important thing is that the Chelsea Knights are short of money now, and their magic technology has been sold. Naturally, the driving magic cores and crystals can also be traded.

"Hudson, you are still young. Listen to your uncle's advice and don't learn from me and do these messy things.

Magic research is a bottomless pit, and no amount of wealth is enough to fill it. Unless you have great magical talent, don't waste your time and money on this. "

Chelsea said earnestly.

It can be heard that these words are sincere. Having personally stepped into the sinkhole of magic research, Chelsea really didn't want to see Hudson follow in his footsteps.

After hearing about "magic talent", Hudson had an idea and secretly thought: Maybe he should work hard to become a magician.

It's also a waste of money, and knights doing magic research are not doing their job properly. But it is reasonable for magicians to engage in these studies.

It's a pity that Hudson has never been exposed to magic, let alone used it. After taking a look at Chelsea, Hudson instantly had an idea.

Just because I don't have the magician's cultivation method doesn't mean that the person in front of me doesn't have it either. Just looking at the pile of magic items in the hall, you can tell that the Chelsea Knights definitely have no shortage of theoretical knowledge in this area.

"Uncle Chelsea, you should know how to test your magic talent. How about you test it for me?"

Hudson said tentatively.

In order to figure out how to use the golden finger, he also worked hard. He had just sold a huge favor to the Chelsea knight, and now was the best opportunity for him to speak.

Perhaps seeing that Hudson was determined, or perhaps just testing his talent and not spending much effort, the Chelsea Knight nodded.

"The magic talent test is very simple. You only need to put a magic crystal with no obvious properties into your hand, and then mobilize your mental power to absorb the magic power in it.

If you have magic talent, the magic power in the crystal will slowly flow into your body, and the speed of the flow will determine the quality of your talent.

Of course, this testing method is not completely accurate, there may be certain errors, and it cannot detect specific talent attributes.

If you want to accurately test a person's magical talent, you still have to go to the Mage Association. The procedure is also very simple, just pay the test fee of 100 gold coins.

If your talent is acceptable and you are accepted into the Mage Association, you will be exempted from the test fee. Of course, that's only for children.

The training of magicians should start from an early age. Once they are over fifteen years old, the Mage Association will no longer accept them. Unless you can teach yourself to be a magician, you cannot obtain certification. "

After saying that, seeing that Hudson was still unmoved, Chelsea sighed deeply. In Hudson, he saw the shadow of his own youth, the same persistence and confidence.

However, magic cultivation ultimately depends on talent, and ninety-five percent of people do not have the talent for magic cultivation.

There are less than 500 registered magicians in the entire Alpha Kingdom, including half of the magic apprentices.

Of course, this is also related to the talent screening model. The high cost of testing directly blocks a large number of poor people from the door.

If a national talent test is conducted, it is estimated that within ten years, the number of mages in the kingdom will have a zero added to it.

Of course, this is impossible. Neither the king nor the aristocratic group could allow extraordinary power to spread to the lower levels.

What's more, with the number of magicians in the kingdom, even if they wanted to conduct a national talent test, they would be too busy.
