(I went out to play all day today, so I have to update again. However, I will update twice a day without interruption. After all, I have to be a full-time person. The second update time will be very late, so you can go to sleep. In addition, you can guess which series the Kingdom of Solcie is from.)

Chapter 138 The World's Strongest Witch

"How do you know this is the Kingdom of Solcie?" Although he asked this, Rhine still put away the map.

"First, from a geographical point of view, this country is located at the southernmost tip of the Central and Southern Continent. Going further south, you will enter the endless ocean, and the Kingdom of Solcie is a country facing the ocean."

"Secondly, although it has changed a lot, I can still be sure that I have been to this country before," Natasha replied.

"That's great. Since you've been here, can you give me a brief introduction to this country?" When Rhine heard Natasha say the name of this country, he became interested in it because he happened to know this country.

I just don't know if the Solcie Kingdom in this world is the same Solcie in his memory.

"I'm afraid you will be disappointed, because that happened more than 400 years ago when I was traveling around the continent." Natasha spread her hands.

"More than four hundred years ago...how do you know for sure that you have been to this country?"

"Are you stupid? Don't you see my statue erected in that square?" Natasha said, pointing to a huge statue of a goddess in the distance.

"It's true..." Rhine used the clairvoyance technique to discover that the words "The heroic witch who saved the Kingdom of Solcie from destruction" were engraved on the base of the statue.

"Have you saved this country before?" Rhine asked in surprise.

"It can't be called saving. It should be considered as collecting money from people to help them get rid of disasters." Natasha seemed to disagree with the term saving.

"Speaking of this, it reminds me that the king of this country seems to still owe me a huge debt." Natasha said viciously.

"Tell me in detail." Rhine's favorite thing is to eat melons.

"At that time, they clearly said that as long as I could defeat the monsters, they would agree to any conditions. But after I defeated them, they said that the kingdom had just encountered a disaster and was in a state of disrepair. They really couldn't come up with so much money, so they asked me if I could pay them first, and even wrote me an IOU, saying that they would pay me when the country had money."

"But I forgot about it when I went to guard the Demon God Pass. I only remembered it when I saw this statue today."

Natasha was lost in her memories.

It was a day about four hundred years ago, and the history of the countries around here underwent tremendous changes.

A huge ancient dragon suddenly appeared and began to attack people.

The huge body covered with scales that looked as pale as ice in the moonlight trampled on houses and fields wantonly, and its sharp fangs and claws tore apart livestock. When its wings were spread out, they covered the sky and could stir up storms with just a flap, and its dragon breath scorched the earth.

No one knew what its purpose was, it seemed to be making trouble or angry. After making trouble and destroying a country, the ancient dragon seemed to be satisfied and disappeared in the air, and began to attack the next target.

It is said that several kingdoms with a history of thousands of years were destroyed in an instant because of the sudden appearance of ancient dragons.

People who lived in that era all felt it - if things continued like this, no one would be able to survive, and everything would be taken away by the mad ancient dragon.

Therefore, all countries stopped their hostility, aggression and war with each other, abolished their isolationist policies, and actively exchanged intelligence with other countries, uniting under the threat of the ancient dragon.

Some countries made weapons and collected weapons to fight against the ancient dragon. Some countries poisoned crops and livestock to defeat the ancient dragon. Some countries strengthened their houses, gates and walls to resist the destruction of the ancient dragon.

No miracle happened, and no dragon-slaying warrior appeared. No matter how hard they tried, they could not fight against the powerful ancient dragon.

The dragon-slaying armies of various countries were defeated by the ancient dragon one after another. Although the countries never gave up the resistance, under the ravages of the ancient dragon, many countries have reached their limit, and more and more countries have disappeared in the long river of history.

At this time, people finally realized that even if all countries joined forces, they could not defeat the ancient dragon, and realized that they were facing a disaster that they could not handle on their own.

Then we can only seek help from outside.

But because the countries in this area did not believe in God, the church rejected their request, saying that this was a punishment from God.

When the other ancient world overlords heard that the target of the crusade was a legendary peak ancient dragon, they all refused. Warcraft can fight three or four professionals of the same level, and dragons can fight seven or eight. What's more, this is a legendary peak crazy dragon. Who dares to meddle in this business?

Later, under the guidance of a legendary astrologer, the desperate kings learned that the only person who could fight against the ancient dragon was a witch who lived quietly alone in the depths of a forest.

She is the former saint of the Silver Moon Elf Dynasty. She has the most powerful power in the world, but because of this she doesn't like to interact with people and lives a quiet life in the depths of the forest. However, people realize that there is no other way to defeat the ancient dragon except by relying on her power, so they ask for her help at all costs.

Faced with the kings, officials, and witches from various countries who flocked in, they not only did not show any disgust, but smiled happily.

After receiving enough gifts, the witch came out.

Although the ancient dragon clan is powerful, the witch is not a human being, but a Silver Moon Elf who has reverted to the blood of the high elves.

The blood of the high elves is so domineering that their talent in magic is comparable to that of ordinary witches even if they have not undergone any training when they reach adulthood.

It is one of the most powerful races in the world that has produced dozens of divine mages. At its peak, even ancient races like the dragon race were overwhelmed and had to leave the mainland and retreat to overseas islands.

Although the Silver Moon Elves are descendants of who knows how many generations, the trace of high elf blood flowing in their bodies allows them to stand out among the many elven branches and become a world-dominant force. Like the church, they are an ancient force that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years.

Since Natasha can be the Saint of the Silver Moon Elves, it can be seen that her bloodline is noble. She is also the one with the purest high elf bloodline among all the saints in history.

Therefore, even the powerful ancient dragon is helpless in the face of Natasha's overwhelming power.

"By the way, what conditions did you propose to others..." Rhine used the clairvoyance technique to read the short story about four hundred years ago engraved on the base of the statue, and also understood the origin of the title of heroic witch.

In fact, what he wanted to complain about more was, "How come you haven't broken through to the God Realm in four hundred years?" But he thought that he would probably be beaten if he said that, so he held back.

"It's not too much. I just want them to pay a huge sum of money so that I can live freely without having to work for the rest of my life." Natasha replied.

"Wow, that's not too much. You're a Silver Moon Elf who's half a step into the God Realm! You'd probably still be alive even if those countries were destroyed."

"I don't care. I have an IOU. I haven't charged them interest for more than 400 years. You want me to work for free? And if it weren't for me, these kingdoms would have ceased to exist long ago, right?" Natasha said disdainfully.

"So you plan to collect the debt?" Rhine asked curiously.

“Do you think this country is very rich?”

"From a common sense perspective, they are indeed quite rich." In Rhine's memory, the Kingdom of Solcière was a powerful country, and the most direct evidence was that they had several dukes!

Would an ordinary kingdom dare to be so arrogant?

Moreover, the Kingdom of Solcié is located on the border of the Indochina Sea, has rich fisheries and busy maritime trade, and is also a major shipbuilding country. Its geographical location is at the junction of the Eastern and Western continents, and it is one of the few places that must be passed through on the roads connecting the East and the West.

If we still can't develop under these conditions, we can really disband right here and go home and grow sweet potatoes.

"That's fine. Their king said he would give it to me when the country has money in the future. How much do you think I should ask for?" Natasha asked Rhine for advice.

"Do I have a share?"

"If you can help me get it, I can give you half."

"Don't worry, let me do it! I'm a professional!"

Chapter 139: The Lion Opens His Mouth

"What are you going to do? If you want to use violence to collect the debt, then forget it. After all, I am the president of the Magic Unification Association now, and my every word and action represents the attitude of the Magic Unification Association." Natasha reminded.

If someone had dared to owe her money like this four hundred years ago, she would have gone to the door long ago, but now that she has been the president of the Magic Unification Association for so many years, she has developed feelings for this organization. If she, as the president, acts recklessly, it is likely to escalate into an international foreign teacher incident.

"Don't worry, I'm a professional debt collector. Only amateurs use violence to collect debts."

"Tell me what your expectations are?" After all, it involves his own interests, and Rhine needs to be cautious.

"One hundred million gold coins?" Natasha tilted her head and said a little embarrassedly, as if she felt that she had asked for too much.

"One hundred million!?" Rhine doubted whether he had heard it wrong.

"Is that too much? How about 5000 million? It should be enough for me to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life."

"No, what I mean is, one hundred million to treat a beggar well? You have to know that you saved the entire country. Without you, they wouldn't be where they are today?" Of the one hundred million, Rhine could only get fifty million, so of course he was not satisfied.

It's not that he is greedy, but in this world dominated by the upper class, an ordinary chamber of commerce can come up with tens or even millions of gold coins, and it is not a problem for a lord to come up with millions of gold coins.

For a kingdom, it would be embarrassed to call itself a kingdom if it did not have hundreds of millions of gold coins in its treasury. What's more, the Kingdom of Solcie was not an ordinary kingdom, but a major maritime trading country with strong comprehensive national strength.

Isn't it looking down on them to ask them for tens of millions or even a hundred million?

"Ah? Then how much do you think is appropriate?" Natasha had no concept of money. In her opinion, one hundred million was a lot.

"Don't ask them for more, just 10 years of GDP!"

"What is GDP?" Natasha asked.

“GDP is the core indicator of national economic accounting and an important indicator for measuring the economic status and development level of a country or region. Simply put, it is the total wealth created by a country in a year.”

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Natasha asked worriedly.

"What's the big deal? The principal plus more than 400 years of interest. It's good enough that we didn't let them sell out their country. And setting a higher target at the beginning will help with subsequent negotiations."

"Why?" Natasha asked puzzled.

"For example, if you ask for 100 million gold coins right from the start, the other party might think you are asking for too much and are not really willing to give, and even if they give, they will be reluctant to give."

"But if you ask them for 10 billion gold coins, and then after hard bargaining you finally get down to 100 million gold coins, then not only will the other party not complain about you, but they will be grateful to you. They will probably even pay you the money on the spot for fear that you will regret it later." Rhine explained to Natasha.

"I see. That seems to be the case. Then shall we go to the palace now?" Natasha said eagerly.

"Not yet. We must first find the official record documents of the kingdom regarding this incident four hundred years ago. This will eliminate the possibility of them cheating." Although Rhine did not think that this matter could be cheated, after all, the story of the heroic witch was well known throughout the continent.

"I know a place where it must be!"

"where?"

"The magical province of the Kingdom of Solcie."

Perhaps to prevent the tragedy of the ancient dragon incident from happening again, or perhaps out of worship of the witch who defeated the ancient dragon, the Kingdom of Solcie has attached great importance to the development of magic over the past four hundred years, and even included magic education in the constitution.

Anyone who is 15 years of age or older and has magical powers must study in a magic academy established by the state. After graduation, outstanding students will work in the Ministry of Magic.

For the king, people with magical powers and the magic they create are the most precious wealth of the kingdom. Magic is the foundation of the Kingdom of Solcière and the basis of a strong country.

Think about it, Royal Celestia has only been on the path of magic development for a few decades, but it has already become the dominant force in the Free City-States. The Kingdom of Solcie has been on the path of magic for more than 400 years, so you can imagine how profound this country's attainments in magic technology are.

But because of this, the Kingdom of Solcie is a heretical country in the eyes of the church. They develop magic like witches but do not believe in God.

However, the Kingdom of Solcie does not care about the church's opinion at all. After all, they were rejected when they asked for help from the church more than 400 years ago, and they called it a punishment from God. Since you said so, it is even more impossible for them to believe in God.

After more than four hundred years of artificial adjustment and screening, the people of the Kingdom of Solcie are generally more suitable for casting magic than people from other countries, and they are far superior to other countries in terms of initial magic power and magical qualifications.

The kingdom used the magic of these magic power holders to achieve rapid development.

In order to allow the owners of these valuable assets to fully unleash their magical powers, and to discover those with even greater magical talents, the kingdom established magic academies throughout the country.

Among them, the Magic Academy located in the kingdom's capital is the country's top elite institution and is also an affiliated academy of the Ministry of Magic.

It is said that in this academy, those whose magic power is recognized can have power second only to the king in the country. They can also have a transcendent status in the magic ministry formed by the country, which is composed of powerful magicians.

Therefore, every year, boys and girls who are fifteen years old and think they have excellent talents will be summoned from all over the country to come to the academy...

But unfortunately, almost all those who can enter the Capital Academy are nobles.

And the proportion of high-ranking nobles is even greater.

For this reason, the presence or absence and strength of magic power are regarded as the class of the nobility.

Once it is known that someone possesses powerful magic and excellent talents, he or she will be adopted by higher-level nobles, no matter whether the other person is a slave, a commoner, or a noble.

Therefore, when entering the capital academy, people with strong magic power are basically high-ranking nobles. Commoners, unless they are particularly outstanding, generally cannot compete with nobles, so they can only go to magic academies in other regions.

Although the Kingdom of Solcie has the largest mage force in the world, a magical army composed of tens of thousands of mages, it is lacking in top combat power.

The Kingdom of Solcié has been investing heavily in the past four hundred years, but has never produced a legend of its own. This has to be said to be the country's biggest regret.

However, due to its huge financial resources, it has no problem supporting two or three legendary wizards. Coupled with the army of tens of thousands of wizards, the Kingdom of Solsière has the capital to stand firm even against the neighboring empire.

"But how do we enter the Ministry of Magic?"

"That's easy. Doesn't the Magical Unification Association have a large base in this country? We can just pretend to be someone sent by the headquarters to conduct magic exchanges with this country.

Chapter 140 I'm here to cause trouble

While discussing countermeasures, Rhine and Natasha came to the Magic Unification Association base in the capital of the Kingdom of Solcie.

"As expected of a kingdom that started out with magic, even its outpost is so luxurious." Rhine couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the Magic Integration Association, which had a magnificent exterior and occupied an entire brick and stone building.

In terms of both scale and quality, the association bases in the Kingdom of Solcie far surpass those of any other country, including the Empire.

"Although this country is friendly to wizards, it is not very friendly to the Magic Unification Association," said Natasha.

"No way, wasn't this magnificent building built with funds from the king? He said it was a gift to the Magic Integration Association." Rhine asked puzzled.

"When I say unfriendly, I don't mean they are hostile to the Association. What I mean is that they not only compete with the Association for its people, but they also poach its talents. Every year, a lot of good talents are snatched away by them, and they even poach a lot of excellent employees from the Association to join the Ministry of Magic." Natasha said angrily.
