"Mage Tower? What is the research direction of Mage Tower of Archmage Merlin?" Claire asked.
"I'm not very clear about this. You need to be a Archmage level mage to enter. I'm not qualified to go in now. And even if I advance to become a Archmage level mage in the future, my grandpa will send me to the Silver Dragon Empire Tower of Eternity."
Claire is not surprised by this. The mage education at the Silver Dragon Empire is indeed much better than that at Kingdom of Arcanum. Even though Merlin is a mage saint, it is impossible for him to tutor Edith anytime and anywhere, so it is also a good choice to send him there to study until Archmage and then come back.
Therefore, Mage Tower can also be said to be a further teaching venue for mages, but not everyone can enter. For example, Mage Tower of Merlin only recruits mages above the level of Archmage, and those mages who have just graduated from the Royal Capital Magic Academy, also known as High Mage, cannot enter it at all.
And in addition to the condition of Archmage, there must be many other conditions. Mage Tower recruits more research-oriented mages, so the talent in this area must not be weak. It's not just a matter of reaching Archmage and then you can enter and become a mage in Mage Tower.
"Okay." Claire stood up, "I won't bother you anymore. If Master Merlin comes out, you can ask Shane to find me. I will be in the capital within a week."
Claire and Edith really had nothing to talk about. They were not very familiar with each other, and she was just High Mage now. She might not be able to understand some of the theoretical knowledge he told her.
After seeing Claire stand up, Edith also breathed a sigh of relief. She is a social phobia. She has been a little overwhelmed since Claire came in. Now that Claire is gone, it is just right. And because her grandfather kept telling her how good Claire was and made him seize the opportunity quickly, Edith still felt a little inferior when facing Claire.
We are obviously of the same age, so why can't I compare to him? My own talent is not weak. The teenage High Mage is considered outstanding in the entire continent, but it happened that I met this monster.
After coming out of Edith's house, Claire walked to the street of Tulip Shop. The shops here were several times larger than before, and Claire's exclusive lounge inside was also expanded a lot.
Claire did not notify Shane when he came this time. After he had been sitting in the store for about ten minutes, Shane opened the door and walked in.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were here?"
Claire spread his hands and explained, "Originally, Archmage Merlin asked me to come here, and he didn't plan to stay any longer. Now he is not at home, so he came here."
"How have you been lately?" Claire asked.
Hearing this, Shane showed a slightly satisfied smile, "It's pretty good."
"My father has begun to hand over part of the family's business to me."
Shane The implication of these words is that he has basically secured his position as the next head of the family. This is inevitable. Shane helped his family stand in the right position during the battle for the throne. He is also closely related to Claire, who is now in the ascendant. His own abilities are not weak, so it would be a bit strange if the next head of the family is not him.
Shane's two brothers didn't have much objection. Now that the situation was settled, there was no point in struggling anymore. So they began to change their business strategies, integrated their outside industries into the family, and began to help Shane manage the family.
This is also the long-standing tradition of the Shane family. The power struggle in their family is not as serious as other families, but is very harmonious. The one who wins becomes the head of the house, and the rest become the helpers who assist the head of the house. In this way, their descendants can still live a good life under the protection of the family, and they also have the inheritance rights of the family head. If the sons of any generation of family heads are not capable, it is time for them to ascend to power.
"That's pretty good." Claire smiled.
Just as Shane was about to speak, there was a knock on the door of the lounge, and then a Archmage wearing a royal robe came in.
Claire and Shane looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes. They didn't know this person at all.
The mage saluted Claire and said respectfully, "Duke Tulip, His Majesty Irene invites you to come and meet."
Claire suddenly realized that he had not restrained his aura when passing the city wall, so the news should have reached Irene now.
"Understood, I'll be there in a moment."
Hearing Claire's reply, the Archmage nodded politely at Claire, "I will report it to His Majesty."
After the mage left, Claire and Shane said a few more words and walked out of the door. He had not seen Irene for a long time.
After entering the palace, Claire was led all the way to a small palace in the palace, where he was asked to wait for Irene.
Claire didn't wait long after she sat down. The door to the palace was pushed open, and Irene also walked in. Claire glanced behind her, and there was no one else following her. She was the only one who came in.
Compared with the last time we met, Irene has changed a lot at this moment. She is no longer the soft and weak girl image before. Instead, Claire feels that she has become a real King. The aura exuding from her body is also extremely powerful, confident and aggressive.
This sudden contrast made Claire a little stunned. He didn't expect that Irene had changed so much in just a few months.
However, as Irene got closer and closer, Claire's familiarity with her returned.
Sure enough, when Irene was five or six meters away from Claire, he couldn't help but smile and said subconsciously, "Brother Claire... brother."
But the sound behind it was so small that it was almost inaudible.
Irene is now in a particularly tangled state. She wants to shout "Brother Claire" as before, but now she is Queen of a kingdom. Due to her current status, she is too embarrassed to shout out.
Fortunately, Claire is a considerate person, and he understands the complex psychology of Irene, so he took the initiative to skip this topic.
"Long time no see, Irene."
Hearing Claire call her by her first name, Irene smiled again. The two of them did not become estranged because she became Queen. They were still as close as before.
You know, Sophia and Shane, who were familiar with her in the past, all call her "Your Majesty Irene". Even her second sister no longer dares to play with her like before. Those previous relationships have now become the current relationship between monarch and minister.
"Yes!" Irene nodded vigorously, "Long time no see!"
She felt like she had returned to the carefree Princess she had been before, and no longer had to think about major national affairs.
Irene sat down next to Claire, supported the sofa with both hands, and looked back. "Why do you have time to come to the capital?"
"Of course I came to see you." Claire said casually.
"Liar, you've been in the capital for almost an hour and you haven't come to me yet."
"Is this happening?!"
"Of course! If I hadn't sent someone to find you, you don't know when you would want to come over."
"You wrongly blamed me. Just when I wanted to come, the people you sent arrived." Claire said with an innocent look.
"Just talk nonsense, only a ghost will believe you."
"This reason can't convince you. I think you must be very busy as King, so I won't bother you."
"Hmph! As a local lord, shouldn't you even come to see me?" Irene raised his little head proudly.
"Well... what you said makes sense."
"You must have been right!" Irene angrily waved his fist and hit Claire on the shoulder.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Claire laughed, "I'll give you a gift. Just calm down."
Irene blinked his eyes and asked curiously, "What gift?"
