Sophia knew that Claire was interested, so he sat upright again and looked at Claire with a smile.
"Tell me, what else do you want? Greedy guy."
Claire also looked at Sophia with a smile, tapped the table with his knuckles, and said, "Royal Capital Magic Academy."
A strange color flashed in Sophia's eyes, and he repeated, "Royal Capital Magic Academy?"
Claire nodded noncommittally, "Yes, Royal Capital Magic Academy, I want ten places to graduate from there every year."
Claire knew from the beginning that this was a resource that could be traded. Isaac was deceived by him into Nafu City. Mages are the productivity of this world, and the mages in the Royal Capital Magic Academy are the talents in this world.
Now among Nafu City's Academy of Sciences, there is only one Isaac and one High Mage, and the rest are some old men of low-level mages or apprentice mages, but it is simply impossible to develop Nafu City with Claire and Isaac. Therefore, we must recruit more talents, and top graduates from the Royal Capital Magic Academy are the best candidates.
Sophia did not directly agree, but explained, "Royal Capital Magic Academy graduates more than 300 students every year, half of whom are going to enter the army, so there are still 150 left. Thirty of them are divided among the royal family members, and the remaining 120 are divided among the Six Archmages family, Archmage Merlin family, and the major forces in the capital. Do you think I can give you ten if I can make the decision?"
Royal Capital Magic Academy graduates are all mages of High Mage level and above, which are very rare and expensive talent resources. Sophia spent a lot of effort to let Claire poach Isaac.
Moreover, the current personnel allocation share has been fixed. Now she is asked to give Claire a fixed ten quotas every year. She can't make the decision at all. Even if August Family's ancestor Archmage comes, he may not be able to allocate these ten fixed quotas to Claire. The other family forces that get quotas are at the same level as them.
Claire continued to knock on the table, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "How many places have Shane and their Ansier Family been allocated?"
"Five. Their family does not have an ancestor of the Archmage level. The five they can get are all due to the means and strength of their current family head."
"Then I want three." Claire said calmly.
Sophia shook his head, "Impossible, at most one."
"Then two."
"I am the only one who can make the decision." Sophia continued to shake her head and said. This was because she planned to give up part of her interests in exchange for other families. She had no intention of allocating her family's quota to Claire. Otherwise, the old guys in the family would definitely have objections, which would not be conducive to her continued control of the August Family.
"Five million Gold Coins, buy one more spot." Claire said calmly.
"Every year?"
"Yes, five million Gold Coins every year, two places." Although at first glance, it seems that exchanging five million Gold Coins for one High Mage is a bit of a disadvantage, but Claire doesn't think so. The graduates in the Royal Capital Magic Academy are all top students. With such talents in his hands, he can perform better and earn more resources.
"That's not impossible." Sophia replied, there were many short-sighted forces among the forces that shared the quota with them. As long as she worked a little bit, it was not impossible to spend five million to exchange a quota with them.
"What about Hill City's Magic Academy, how many places can I be assigned?" Claire asked with a smile. Hill City is the second largest city in the kingdom, a port city, and there is also a Magic Academy in it.
"You are greedy enough." Sophia smiled, "But that college is the private property of those two Archmages, and we August Family can't get involved, but I can give you a free entry threshold. As for how many places you can buy, it's up to you."
The deans of the Magic Academy of Hill City are two of Six Archmages. Different from the Royal Capital Magic Academy, this Magic Academy is completely profitable. Some talents who cannot enter Royal Capital Magic Academy will spend money to study at Hill Magic Academy. Or there are many noble children who originally live in Hill City and are unwilling to go out, but also study in Hill Magic Academy.
In terms of basic facilities and equipment, Hill Magic Academy is not inferior to the Royal Capital Magic Academy at all. It may be that the quality of students is a little worse. After all, Royal Capital Magic Academy is the most famous teacher in the kingdom. The quality and teaching level are also higher than Hill Magic Academy. Some young mages who think they are geniuses or are looking for a future must choose Royal Capital Magic Academy instead of Hill Magic Academy, which can be bought with money.
Because Hill Magic Academy is for-profit, the quota for graduates every year can be purchased with money. Every year during the graduation season, the quota for participation in the election will be auctioned, which is Sophia promised to give Claire free entrance. As for the number of places you can get after entering, it depends on who pays more. Many mages in the earl and viscounty came from this Magic Academy.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Claire showed a happy smile.
Seeing Claire agree, Sophia also smiled, and the burden in her heart was relieved. In fact, she was still a little worried when she won the 50% share, but the brave will starve to the timid. Now that Claire has joined, there will be no problem.
"Happy cooperation. When can I go to the royal capital?" Sophia asked. Although the war has not started yet, preparations have already begun.
"Give me a day to plan, and we can set off tomorrow."
Sophia stood up, walked to the door and picked up the hat he had just put down. He turned around and said, "No problem, then I'll wait for you in the capital."
"Let me see you off." Claire also stood up.
"No need, my Lord Viscount." As he spoke, Sophia stood and stared at Claire's face for a few seconds, and then said, "Compared to now, I still like you at the beginning."
"Huh?" Claire tilted his head.
"You were so cute back then. Although you were still good at bargaining, your appetite wasn't as big." Sophia pouted, "You're not cute now. You actually want so many things from me."
Claire smiled noncommittally. Doesn't this mean that he was easy to bully in the past?
Sophia also sighed in his heart. It has only been less than half a year since they first met, and the other party is almost on an equal footing with him in negotiations. It makes people feel really uncomfortable.
After Sophia left, Claire called Regan in and explained some matters.
Regan is also used to it. My young master seems to have to go there every once in a while, but he seems to get a lot of good things every time he goes out.
"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely manage Nafu City well." Regan promised.
"If there is any problem that cannot be solved, just write to me in the capital."
"Understood!"
At noon the next day, Claire rode away from Nafu City on the Wolf King. After the Wolf King was promoted to the fourth-level monster, his speed became much faster, and because it was a wind-type monster, it could still fly in the air. Claire arrived at the royal capital in less than half a day.
