In the evening, Stannis, Werther and Renly gathered in Robert's room, and Renly used a whisper spell to isolate the sound in the room.
"Witt! You have done a great job this time, and you have demonstrated the power of magic in front of everyone. I offered you a reward before but you refused. What are you thinking?" Although Robert was still drunk, he still
These are words I have really thought about.
[He is the King of the Seven Kingdoms, his second brother is the Duke of Dragonstone and Sea Lord, and his third brother is the Duke of Storm's End. The youngest brother is the strongest personally. For his own hegemony, he was forced into a political marriage with Dorne since he was a child.
Now he is just a knight, and his territory is just a small fortress. I feel very sorry for him.]
"One of the most powerful reasons for the power of magic is that the enemy was not prepared this time. If the enemy was prepared, such as a heavy crossbow, or launched a siege when I had no magic power, it would not have been so smooth, and I was almost there that day.
He was hacked to death." Werther didn't have to save face in front of his brothers, he told the truth.
"You even reached your waist, haha. Men, sooner or later you have to go to the battlefield to train. You two are not even 12 years old yet, but you are already very good."
Renly took a sip of sweet wine and said, "But I didn't accomplish anything this time!"
Werther laughed:
"It's Brother Robert's fault. Who asked him to ride a horse on Pyke Island? Horses can't run as fast as anyone in that damn place. By the time he arrives, the battle will be over long ago. You can only clean up the battlefield by following him."<
/p>
Robert patted his fat belly. He had almost forgotten how to fight after eating, drinking and having fun in the past few years as a king. Even his current armor has a protruding belly shape. Stannis also smiled, with a hint of contempt in his smile.
"By the way, what about your refusal of the reward?" Robert brought back the topic.
Werther sat up straight and said to Robert seriously:
"I want my eldest brother to add to the royal council: the chief mage of the kingdom. His responsibility is to lead all the magicians in the kingdom, manage all magical things in the kingdom, and check and balance the forces of the school city."
Robert and Stannis were shocked when they heard this, which shook the power structure of the kingdom.
"In the hundreds of years since the unification of the Seven Kingdoms, the Council has always consisted of seven members, the Hand of the King, the three Ministers of Finance, Law, and Admiralty, as well as the Director of Intelligence and the Grand Maester, plus the Captain of the Kingsguard.
, now add another seat?" Stannis does not know how to adapt and cannot see the situation.
Robert was shocked and thinking at the same time. He said nothing. Werther added:
"The magic power of the entire world is recovering, and there will be more and more magicians in the future. The power of magicians has begun to rise unstoppably."
Renly also chimed in, "I also feel that my magic power regenerates much faster now than before."
Witte continued:
"Everyone knows the power of magic. Renly and I are only 12 years old now. I can guarantee that by the time we reach adulthood, one person will be as powerful as an army and can easily destroy a castle!"
"If there is no one to manage this newly grown group of mages, no one's safety can be guaranteed in the future, and the person who can manage this group of people can only be the strongest magician, and currently I am the only one."
Robert kept banging his hands on the table and was thinking hard. After a while, he asked:
"Have you ever thought about how to manage it?"
"Establish a mage school, establish various standard systems and terminology for magic, accept young people with magic potential from the entire continent, use a method similar to that of knights and attendants, and teach in a more in-depth way with masters and apprentices to increase the relationship between masters and apprentices. Apprentices are divided into levels.
After completing your studies and becoming a master, you register in the kingdom, and the king issues a mage badge. After that, they decide whether to join the army or stay in the mage school."
"Then if these apprentices go to other places to recruit their own apprentices, wouldn't they be out of control?" Robert asked.
"Other nobles can hire them temporarily, but it will be impossible to completely break away from the mage system, at least in the next 100 years." Witte drank.
"In order to train Renly, we made countless teaching equipment. Most of the money Renly and I earned was invested in this. Even Renly, who is considered a top talent, spent millions of gold dragons to learn the intermediate level, and there will be more later.
It’s difficult, ordinary nobles simply can’t afford it and can’t build it.”
Speaking of this, Witte couldn't help but think [This is comparable to training astronauts in this world, it's just teaching without algorithmic equipment, being a master is really expensive!]
Renly rubbed his nose beside him, feeling a little embarrassed.
Robert also touched his nose. He often borrowed a lot of golden dragons from his two brothers for eating, drinking and having fun.
Witte continued to add, "Also, my surname is Baratheon. I can't guarantee that the descendants of the Baratheon family with magical potential will become powerful wizards. That depends on talent and consciousness, but I can guarantee that they can get more than other wizards."
A good education, and before I die, this system is controlled by the Baratheon family, just like the Targaryen dragons."
In fact, Werther did not say that he and Renly currently only have all the attributes. After researching in the past few years, I found that people with magic in this world basically only have one attribute, and very few people with excellent talents have two attributes. Renly still has it because of himself
Time travel and he are identical twins.
Robert slapped the table:
"It's decided that after the tourney is over, I will hold a royal meeting when I return to King's Landing. Vert and Renly will attend the meeting together. Vert will be the chief mage and Renly will be his deputy. You two often run around outside, so you must stay.
Personal meeting in King's Landing."
Stannis didn't say much. The king's council would definitely vote in favor. He couldn't think of anything else, but he couldn't stand Queen Cersei's constant interference in the affairs of the kingdom. Now that the four brothers of the Baratheon family will appear in the king's council, it will soon happen.
Cersei will be pushed out of power soon.
"Let's decide on the chief mage first. I still have to prepare for the magic school for a year. Magic research and learning are very dangerous. The magic school will be built on the collapsed dragon's lair in King's Landing. It doesn't need to be big. Dragon
No one is suitable near the hole."
"Okay, but how much does it cost to build a school?" Robert was a little depressed. He knew the advantages of staying away from King's Landing. First, he could avoid the danger of magic, and second, he could stay away from the nobles who formed cliques, but this would cost money.
.
"Renly and I will pay for it and build it slowly. The house doesn't have to be big, and it's not a fortress. It won't cost much every year."
"Besides, I also want to say that I don't like power. Intrigue and intrigue are very tiring. I like to throw a magic over and directly eliminate all the enemies. After the magic school is on track, Renly will take over. I want to go to the Eastern Continent, to the Wa
Leilian ruins, or go further afield to find traces of ancient magic."
"Are you never coming back?" Robert had already discovered that his brother was not here, and when he heard that he was going further away, he thought that Werther was not ready to come back.
"How is it possible? I've only been there for a few years. Magic cannot be done behind closed doors. You need to broaden your horizons. Moreover, so many Valyrian steel and magical gadgets originated from the Eastern Continent. I won't be at peace if I don't go."
"When will we set off?" Stannis also asked.
Werther thought for a while, "I'm only 12 years old now, let's wait until the 16th coming-of-age ceremony."
"Then what nonsense are you talking about now!" Robert slapped Werther on the head.
