813 Powerful Reinforcement Part 1 (1/2)

Daniel thought carefully about what Nicholas said. What he said was right. Although Daniel was given a heavy responsibility in managing such an important city, the other followers around Saleen were closer to him.

It was the noble families that had tried to speak ill of him, so it did not matter as much. What would his Lord do if it were the other followers who did the same thing instead?

”Think about it, Daniel. You are a sorcerer, so our Lord should definitely regard you highly. Death sorcerers possess extremely powerful abilities.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”I understand now, Nicholas. I will train hard and not forget your good intentions.” Daniel bowed deeply.

”No need to stand on courtesy, Daniel. Now, let's discuss how we should stop those people that have been spreading rumors and killing the commoners.” Nicholas said with a smile. He was confident of dealing with such matters because the people in the Holy See controlled areas were not pure nor innocent either. Even disciples were not immune to committing crimes and many of the occupations in the Holy See were created in relation to these crimes. The most extreme of them was the Supreme Court.

Daniel began to cast a wide net to arrest the people that had been spreading rumors and hurting the commoners. As for how they would be dealt with after being caught, he could use Sika as a reference, the was she conducted a public hearing and used mages' lie detection abilities to judge the innocence of the people.

Nicholas was cunning to suggest to Daniel not to rush into making a judgment quickly. Instead, he should first search for the archives of the laws of the fourth dynasty, gather people in secret to find the laws that would suit Saleen's rule, then add them into the laws of Metatrin Kingdom.

Metatrin City was considered peaceful and orderly compared to the real chaos that was Alchemy City.

From the beginning of that year, Alchemy City had seen a surge of talents into the city. Right then, the number of sorcerers in the city was four times that of the past, while the number of grand mages was ten times what it had been.

As such, the Devil's Horn and Hand of Mages each began to pull the new mages to their sides. It was the first time there was a hint of disharmony within Alchemy City.

The Hand of Mages was controlled by nine grade-9 sorcerers and was also the organization with the most power in Alchemy City. In comparison, Devil's Horn and Sregl Island were slightly weaker. Devil's Horn was the first to discover the surge in incoming talent and was able to pull many sorcerers over to their side though. It was possible that they might even have surpassed Hand of Mages.

The sealing off of Sregl Island was supposed to be for three years, but it was suddenly brought forward by a few months. The people of Sregl Island had appeared and were not afraid of making their presence known in Alchemy City.

Sregl Island was recruiting mages as well, but their requirements were different. They were looking for mages that were young, talented, but did not have an official teacher yet. Once they joined Sregl Island, they had to take the mage's oath to pledge eternal loyalty to Sregl Island.

The requirements of recruitment were attractive to mages that desired to receive inheritance. Since Sregl Island specifically mentioned that they would not accept anyone with an official teacher, that meant that they were considering passing down real inheritance to those that had joined.

By doing that in such a high-profile manner, it was as if Sregl Island was openly challenging the Hand of Mage's grip on power. At first, both the Hand of Mages and Devil's Horn wanted to take over Sregl Island but then, it was Rance who was personally recruiting people over to his side. He had already advanced into grade-9 and had become a powerful sorcerer.

No one had the reason or confidence to take over Sregl Island. The latter could then activate Sregl Island's enclosed array anytime they wanted. That meant that Sregl Island's power had been greatly boosted.

In truth, not only had Sregl Island's power been raised, they had also managed to capture the Fire Element Elves and used them to refine powerful Godly Items, instead of a few pieces of Semi-Godly Items.

There were more than thirty-six sorcerers on Sregl Island, but they continued to recruit mages because they had agreed for Jason to bring thirty-six sorcerers to Metatrin City for further development. The remaining sorcerers would be led by Rance.

For the thirty-six sorcerers that had left, they would only listen to Jason's commands even though they still enjoyed some of the privileges accorded to anyone from Sregl Island. This was what Jason received in return for giving up Godly Items.

It was not that Jason did not want those Godly Items, but he was fully aware that his student, Saleen, had become extremely wealthy. With the fortune that Jason's own teacher had left behind for him, he and Saleen would not need any Godly Items. They were more than capable of refining powerful equipment on their own.

It was a sign of outstanding talent that Saleen was able to pick up water flame alchemy so quickly. If the both of them managed to advance to grade-9, their water flame alchemy techniques would be able to complement each other. They would not need any help from a third party. As long as they had high-grade resources, both of them would be able to refine Godly Items on their own.

The thirty-six sorcerers that had been allowed to leave for Metatrin City were extremely important. The level of loyalty they possessed was rarely seen in the outside world as it could only be developed in an enclosed environment like Srgl Island.
