Chapter 426 - 426 426 Filling a Gap

426: Chapter 426: Filling a Gap 426: Chapter 426: Filling a Gap “It’s odd, the message has been out for several days now, but nobody has shown any interest.

Isn’t it supposed to be easy to recruit mages once you have a Mage Tower?” Lord Zhao Guang murmured in bewilderment at the base of the Silver Tower.

The base featured a public hall, but in truth, with Zhao Guang’s current abilities, he was no longer on the lowest level.

As their power increased, mages would also move up to higher rooms.

The higher the level of the room, the better equipped it was.

Not only was there a certain supply of Magic Power, but also an abundance of experimental materials.

You could even apply for free experimental materials each month, although you could only use them for experiments and were not allowed to take them out.

At this moment, No.

8 was looking at Zhao Guang with a face full of innocence, unsure of how to explain such a matter.

Since Zhao Guang had been repeating this same spiel daily, No.

8 could only sigh internally.

However, just then, No.

8’s eyes lit up: “Lord Zhao Guang, someone has taken on your task.”

“Which task?” Zhao Guang asked nonchalantly, considering he had issued many tasks.

After all, he had plenty of Magic Crystal Stones, so he could afford to be capricious, especially with various collection and research tasks, which were the most numerous.

Did they really think Zhao Guang could progress with his magic research so quickly with so much else on his plate?

Most of his research was actually outsourced through tasks.

Zhao Guang’s role was merely to synthesize and refine these research outputs, which demanded significantly less of his time.

If his own affairs weren’t so consuming, he would probably have advanced to the next level by now.

“Not the research tasks.

It’s the one where you are recruiting mages.”

Zhao Guang’s eyes brightened, as he had just been worrying about this issue.

“That’s great news!

Contact that person.

I assure you, the conditions I’m offering are the best.”

No.

8 closed her eyes, seemingly making some kind of connection.

Suddenly, No.

8’s eyes opened: “Lord Mokli requests to meet with you, sir.”

Mokli?

Was this the mage who wanted to join his territory?

Zhao Guang nodded his assent straight away.

On the ground, a complex Magic Array suddenly lit up, provoking waves of envy from Zhao Guang.

Though he could use the Silver Tower’s special Space Magic to teleport himself there, it wasn’t his own power.

Space Power was not something that ordinary magic could achieve.

Even though all types of mages could learn and use Space Magic, unless one was a mage specialized in Space Magic, other mages could not interpret and utilize Space Magic spells until they reached the Advanced Mage level.

Even Zhao Guang could not do so right now, not to mention others.

From the Magic Array, a middle-aged man with a square face stepped out.

Zhao Guang was aware that mages generally had longer lifespans and strong age-preserving abilities.

Even without deliberate efforts, they aged much slower than others.

So, although this man appeared middle-aged, he was probably quite old in actuality.

Moreover, Zhao Guang could sense that the man was only a mid-level Mage, much weaker than himself.

The man, evidently, also hadn’t expected the recruiter of mages to be such a young person.

Moreover, from Zhao Guang’s barely concealed aura, he could sense the younger man was stronger than himself.

A genius of his caliber was bound to achieve far greater status and accomplishments than he ever could.

Without hesitation, Mokli paid his respects first.

“Mokli greets Lord Zhao Guang.”

Zhao Guang bowed in response, “Greetings, Lord Mokli.

Are you interested in joining my territory?”

So, this was the Lord indeed, Mokli thought to himself.

Yet Mokli spoke up, “Your territory is on the northern border of the Chirali Empire, correct?

I’ve heard it’s quite desolate.

Does your Mage Tower really exist as you claimed?”

Zhao Guang handed over a Recording Crystal Stone to Mokli.

It was used to record true imagery.

As long as one channeled spiritual power into it, they could see the recorded images and even sense the various auras very clearly.

Come to think of it, when Zhao Guang first encountered this device, his initial thought was about filmmaking.

Films created using this device would be far more shocking than those so-called 3D movies.

“I see, a three-story Mage Tower, with a preference for the Earth Attribute, very suitable.

What about the specific location?”

“It’s on the southern side of my territory, near Fla Fortress.”

Upon hearing this location, Mokli seemed to relax a bit, prompting some curiosity from Zhao Guang.

Was there something special about this location?

Zhao Guang made a mental note of it.

“And the terms?” Although Zhao Guang had already put them in writing, Mokli still wanted clarity.

“The conditions are the same as what I’ve written.

Normally, you can control fifty percent of the Magic Power.

However, twenty percent of that should be used to produce various Magic Tools for the territory.”

Mokli nodded, understanding that these were to be expected.

In fact, the ratio he was offered was quite generous.

He had thought he would be lucky to get twenty percent, given that it seemed Lord Zhao Guang would be the main controller of the Mage Tower.

Even though it was just a three-story Mage Tower, it was still a Mage Tower.

“What about in case of war?” Mokli all of a sudden brought up the question.

Zhao Guang was startled, not expecting the topic to shift to warfare.

“If war breaks out, eighty percent of the Mage Tower’s Magic Power will be at your disposal.”

Zhao Guang had actually considered giving him all of it, but then thought better of it.

After all, Xi Fei could also use the Mage Tower’s magic, albeit not as adeptly or extensively.

Two percent would be the current limit of what Xi Fei could manage, an amount that could enhance her power manifold.

For a Cannon Mage, abundant magic power significantly amplified combat effectiveness.

“Eighty percent, that’s acceptable.

I agree.

Let’s draw up a contract.

I’ll arrive within three days,” Mokli said.

So he was already nearby.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to get there in just three days.

And a contract was indeed necessary, for only with a contract could a mage’s behavior be bound.

The contract was quickly drawn up, and Mokli, after reviewing it, found no issues.

The contract now included some additional clauses, such as prohibitions against harming or oppressing the subjects.

As a mage with hardly enough time for spell research, when would he ever have time to bully commoners?

That would just be aimless.

“I have no objections.

Also, I have eight apprentices who will be coming with me.”

“No problem at all, you’re most welcome.” When a mage mentioned apprentices, those referred to actual apprentices, not even Junior Mages.

Though mage apprentices weren’t capable of much on their own, partnered with a Mage Tower, their utility expanded dramatically.

Not to mention anything else, a majority of Magic Tools were actually crafted by their hands.
