After making a decision in his heart, Walker already felt that he and Claire were one, and couldn't help but said, "Sir, I have something to tell you."

"Say."

"I am a scientific mage, not very good at fighting." Walker said. He felt that since the other party took a fancy to him, he couldn't hide it from others.

"It's okay, what I'm interested in is your scientific research ability." Claire replied. Claire has seen this guy's graduation project. It is similar to Isaac's path. He may not be as talented as Isaac, but it is definitely enough to bring him back to help Isaac.

Walker also breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party didn't care, then he would be relieved!

Take that Nafu City as your new starting point, and you will become the mage you want to be!

Then Claire led Walker into the most crowded place, which is also where some geniuses in the academy gather.

Since there are mages like Walker who need to recommend themselves, there must be some nobles who want to recruit talented mages into their families. Some graduates have basically booked for their talents. Archmage level, which is also the fragrant steamed bun in the eyes of the nobles. Those Archmage under Sophia are all recruited from the Magic Academy and trained by themselves.

"In that case, we have an agreement. If you join our Karl family, in addition to the magic materials usually provided to you, there will also be 50,000 Gold Coins." Count Pulan said.

Victor also nodded excitedly. The Karl family is one of Six Archmages. The Karl Archmage family has always been the top noble class in the royal capital. Although he was able to enter by virtue of his strength, he also had to count a certain amount of luck.

At this time, a voice suddenly came over, "Count Pulan, I have fallen in love with this mage, can I part with you?"

Then, Claire walked towards the crowd. When the nobles saw that the person coming was Claire, they gave way to a passage one after another. Walker who was following Claire was confused. Why did these people suddenly get out of the way.

"Claire..." Count Pulan looked a little confused at Claire in front of him. Although he joined Claire's camp because of Edith when the throne changed, he actually still couldn't deal with Claire.

"Is it okay?" Claire asked again.

Count Pulan's eyes flickered for a moment, then nodded, "If you like it, then I'll find another one."

There is no need to offend Claire more because of High Mage. Now Claire is not as easy to handle as before.

A few simple words between the two people made Victor confused.

What's going on? I finally got on the bus of a top nobleman, but why was I suddenly kicked off?

"Who are you?" Victor looked at Claire and asked in confusion.

"Claire, the city lord of Nafu City." Claire added, "Nafu City is at the southernmost end of the kingdom." Walker didn't know that just now.

The expression on Victor's face became even more confused. Did he just get off the luxury carriage and then get on the ox cart?

What's going on? Can anyone tell me?

Victor glanced at the nobles standing aside, trying to find the answer from them.

"Are you leaving?" Claire turned around, as if he was about to leave.

Victor was still a little hesitant, and then the nobles who had formed a circle took the initiative to give up a passage and said hello to Claire in good faith.

If they weren't afraid of offending Claire, those nobles would have come over at this moment, but Claire's status was too high, so they didn't dare.

I can only say hello.

"Lord Claire Gui'an."

"Lord Claire, I am Chester Family..."

"Lord Claire, I am Robert from the Land Resources Department. You can come over and have a chat when you are free."

Victor was dumbfounded. These nobles treated Claire better than they treated Count Pulan. What's going on?

Walker, who had been following Claire, was also confused. The faces of these nobles were not the same as his own. Where were they so arrogant and unruly just now?

Then he looked at Claire, are you sure you are a local noble? Is this what a local noble should have?

Victor was the first to react. He picked up his staff and followed. The reaction of these nobles was enough to explain some problems. He would be really stupid not to get in the car now.

After taking down Victor, Claire took a look at the surroundings and then walked in the chosen direction.

When they were about to arrive at their destination, Victor couldn't help but call out to Claire, "Lord Claire, in front of you is the recruitment venue for the army and the royal family. We'd better not go there."

Victor couldn't help but glance in that direction. It was still heavily guarded there at the moment.

Claire did not slow down, but explained, "It's okay, I'm just going to ask for a few people, not all of them."

Victor, Walker:????

Among each graduate, the best mages will be "turned over" to the country. This is not mandatory, but compared to other nobles, the royal family and the army have the highest resource ratio. Except for occasionally some top nobles who will pay high prices to recruit talents, the best place for some talented graduate mages is the royal family and the army.

And talents are resources! The royal family and the army are unwilling to let go of these talented mages.

How many do you want now? Not all.

What an arrogant tone.

However, unlike what Victor and Walker expected, they were not kicked out after arriving. On the contrary, the two leaders of the army and the royal family treated Claire very politely.

After Claire made the request, he took out the list without hesitation and let Claire choose as he pleased.

Claire also kept his promise and ordered three mages that he had fallen in love with before. Then he thanked them and left with the five of them.

Victor and Walker were both numb and began to think desperately. There seemed to be no top noble named Claire in his memory. Moreover, he also said that he was the city lord of Nafu City. Does a local noble have that much power?

And the three mages who were singled out also looked confused, and their reactions were the same as Victor just now. They finally got on the royal family's car, and were dragged off like this? But looking at the attitude of the two persons in charge towards Claire, they did not dare to say anything and could only remain silent and follow.

Afterwards, Claire continued to shuttle among the crowd, and the team behind him grew stronger.

Some of those people were like Walker, whom no one looked up to, and some were famous genius mages like Victor, but their expressions all looked suspicious of life and the world.

Claire almost took them around the circle of the royal capital's dignitaries. Every one of those dignitaries looked respectful when they saw Claire.

The more I read, the more confused I become, and the more I read, the less I understand.

Who is Claire? where is he from? Where should I follow him?

After shopping around for several times, Claire finally gathered all the mages selected on his list. Now is the time when I am famous, so I can use it to do some arrogant things to steal people, but it will definitely not work if I keep doing this, so I have to push harder this time.
