Witch Alchemist

"Before coming here, I also thought that the wizards' rule relied on simple and crude means of force and suppression.

But now it seems that it is far from that simple to control the big with the small and the many with the few."

"Yes, especially when it comes to situations involving secular wars, various means that are far beyond the imagination of mortals have a wider range of uses.

For example, the flying bird puppet that Celine bought before can completely detect the enemy from a distance."

"And Ivent's reconnaissance and stealth methods, even Lord Roy almost hid it at the time..."

"Senior Damo can also make lifelike puppets... No, here we have to use centaurs, right?"

As everyone talked, they quickly thought of the various uses of their own methods.

They did not avoid the centaurs beside them.

Because the language they used was the wizard language of the Weiser civilization.

This language was passed down from the high magic world, with matching runes and spells, and it was difficult for people in the low magic world to understand.

At this moment, under everyone's seats, centaurs stood docilely.

Among them, Roy rode the guard captain Atidiya, who was assigned to him by his teacher from the castle.

At first, Roy was not used to the feeling of riding an intelligent creature, and was afraid that he would be thrown off because of his poor skills.

But Atidiya was very docile, which was the loyalty and reliability created by the caste system and long-term slave education.

"Lord Roy, it's getting late, let's go into the city first."

After a while, Atidiya spoke.

"Okay, let's go." Roy said.

Atidiya then ran away.

Other centaurs followed.

...

In the city of Skatu, the guards found everyone and immediately became alert.

There were more than a hundred riders, and they looked too much like rampant bandits.

However, after seeing the humans on the horses, the misunderstanding was immediately resolved.

"It's the wizard from the capital!"

On the top of the city, an old apprentice in apprentice robes shouted.

"Quick, quick, lower the drawbridge!"

After everyone entered, the old apprentice had already come to the door with several human officials to greet them.

"This must be Lord Roy, the king has already informed us of the situation.

I am Boli, a follower of Lord Stina, a senior apprentice from Sangris Wuta."

After listening to his introduction and looking at his old face, everyone knew that this was not the descendant of immigrants, but an old apprentice who stepped out of the star sea and applied for the job decades ago.

But seeing that this man is over 70 years old, he is still just a senior apprentice. It is probably difficult for him to have any chance to be promoted in this life.

While speaking, a centaur noble from the Kingdom of Knight stood up.

"It's getting late, please come in and talk in detail."

This is the mayor of Skatu City. He looks like a great noble, but next to the old apprentice, he is just a follower.

"Please!"

Boli rode his centaur mount and led the way in front of him to show respect.

...

Soon after, the city lord's mansion.

In the spacious hall, everyone sat on the ground, surrounding Roy at the big table above.

Petite centaur maids like deer came one after another, serving all kinds of delicious dishes, and there were dancers singing and dancing below to cheer him up.

Roy and others drank and chatted while enjoying the exotic performances.

"That's the basic situation. The Blood Mane Tribe in the south has always been unruly. This time, they took advantage of the autumn harvest to come again to make trouble. It's the "grass-beating" that happens every year...

If possible, I hope the wizard can help to protect the country and the people."

The city lord who came to greet him before briefly explained and made a request with some hope.

"To be honest, our colonial rule is indeed loose and lax. The native nobles only care about drunkenness and dreaming, and gradually relax their military preparations..."

Boli was a little embarrassed and quietly explained to Roy.

In fact, Roy and others had a little understanding before they came here.

They knew that in order to maintain colonial rule, wizards deliberately suppressed the potential for indigenous development.

Because of the centaur's body structure, local indigenous people basically sit on the ground, and the doors of various halls and rooms are wide, flat and straight.

These things derived from physiological structures are objective conditions, and even wizards cannot easily force them to change.

It's not that it can't be done, but it requires a huge cost of rule, which often outweighs the gains.

However, strict restrictions on the forging of iron ore and weapons and armor will destroy traditional cultural customs and moral concepts.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

These are often irrelevant to the general public and are not painful.

Guide aesthetics...

Even vigorously promote singing and dancing and drinking, all kinds of fun and fun, indulgence...

It is more in line with biological instincts.

This not only has much less resistance, but some can even be supported!

Under the unremitting efforts of wizards for hundreds of years, a group of corrupt nobles who hate war and are arrogant and debauched have emerged in the Kingdom of Knight.

Add to that all the intentional and unintentional wars, labor service...

The entire kingdom has become completely corrupt.

But the barbarians on the border don't like this.

The living conditions there are harsh, with many ferocious beasts and disasters, and only strong warriors can survive.

"No wonder the alliance doesn't recruit soldiers from here. I heard that a few hundred years ago, there was a special Centaur Corps recruited to participate in the plane war as a vassal army..."

Several apprentices discussed privately, laughing and helpless.

This kind of colony is really useless.

No wonder the materials are mostly used in the later period.

After a banquet, night fell.

The city lord summoned several Centaur girls with exquisite figures and beautiful looks.

"These are all carefully selected by me from this city. I hope you like them..."

Roy's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't hit the smiling person.

Faced with such a native city lord, he couldn't scold anything, so he could only say lightly: "Forget it, my witchcraft experiment is very dangerous, and ordinary creatures are strictly prohibited from approaching."

This is half true and half false.

He is indeed in the stage of controlling his own radiation pollution and trying to engrave his innate witchcraft.

In addition, the situation here is unclear, and he is afraid that there will be assassins approaching, and he doesn't want to provoke these strange natives.

The city lord felt a little regretful, but he also quickly expressed his understanding.

Not long after, Roy lived in the mansion arranged by the city lord, but he did not meditate or rest, but was busy with alchemical creation.

As a result, just as he took out the alchemical tools he carried with him and asked Celine to help prepare them, he heard the guard captain Atidia who was guarding outside suddenly report.

"The city lord's wife is here."

Roy walked out and looked, his expression was slightly stagnant.

The one who appeared in the hall was a hot centaur beauty, wearing a frivolous and gorgeous gauze, her skin half hidden and half revealed, looking seductive and attractive.

What was even more surprising was that the city lord's wife had a milky white skin, which was shiny and bright. Under the light of the candles, she looked like a jade sculpture.
