Chapter 15: Outcome by the Country

“Please let General Godwin wait a moment, I’ll go over now!”

Charlot said, then looked at Vera by the bed.

“Vera, go back and wait for my message. I’ll contact you in the next few days.”

“Okay!” Vera nodded obediently. Suddenly, she looked a little shy and murmured, “I’ll wait for you…”

The corner of Charlot’s mouth twitched. What the f*ck was this!

Sitting up from the bed, Charlot’s stomach ruined by Vera’s dark cuisine was recovered. Then, he followed Number One to the meeting room!

Walking out of the recuperation room, Charlot found that the outside was already full of fully armed soldiers.

On each soldier were various weapons, instruments, and so on that Charlot could not quite understand.

Following Number One, Charlot on the way was imagining what outcome the country would give him.

“Reporting! General Godwin, Mr. Charlot has arrived!”

“Please come in!”

The few of them stopped in front of the conference room door. Number One spoke loudly, and a deep and calm voice came from inside the door.

This voice was not unfamiliar to Charlot. It was General Godwin, who spoke to him two days ago!

Creak!

Opening the door, Charlot looked inside. What greeted his eyes were three dignified men dressed in military uniform sitting neatly on one side of the conference table.

Sitting on the left was a tall man with a serious expression and white hair on his temples. It was General Godwin!

Charlot walked in leisurely. Number One closed the door behind him.

“Mr. Charlot, please take a seat.”

General Godwin smiled kindly, raised his hand, and invited Charlot to sit down.

When he sat across from the three of them, Godwin introduced, “Mr. Charlot, this is Lieutenant General Morton.”

He pointed at the man sitting on the far right. General Morton nodded at Charlot, his face was equally serious. This was the uniform style of soldiers.

Then, General Godwin pointed at the man sitting between the two and said, “And this is the Deputy Minister of Defense, General Miles!”

Charlot nodded. As a person who had mastered the source of magic, he did not feel afraid even when facing these real bigwigs.

On the contrary, the power of magic gave him confidence that was neither servile nor overbearing, and also gave him confidence that he was not afraid of power!

“Hello, everyone. Just call me Charlot.”

Charlot smiled slightly, put his arms on the table, crossed his hands, and looked indifferent.

“Let’s get straight to the point, shall we?”

As if he did not expect Charlot to be so calm, General Miles, who was sitting in the middle, looked at him with a slightly surprise, and then nodded slightly.

“Yes, General Godwin. Tell Mr. Charlotte our thoughts.”

“Yes, General Miles!”

Godwin nodded and looked at Charlot with a rather procedural smile on his face.

“Mr. Charlot, let’s talk about our agreement first.”

“After a comprehensive discussion among the Senate, the Ministry of National Security, the Army Staff Department, and other departments, we finally agreed to establish a magic academy.”

“Furthermore, all the expenses incurred in the process of establishing a magic academy will be borne by the country.”

“Mr. Charlot, you will be the first president of the magic academy, and you will have the right to name this magic academy. Of course, we will recommend some. After all, this is a school that represents the face of the country. It’s best not to give it a strange name.”

“Secondly, we plan to award you the rank of Major General of the army and enjoy all the treatment of a major general.”

“Lastly, the country will inform all the people about magic in a systematic and gradual manner at the right time. During this process, you can provide the main reference opinions. If you are willing, the first statement to inform the people can be written by you.”

“These are the answers that we have decided to reply to you!”

General Godwin held a manuscript in his hand. As he read, he spoke to Charlot. After he finished speaking, he closed the manuscript and looked at Charlot.

“Then, Mr. Charlot, do you have any questions or objections about these?”

Charlot pondered for a few seconds and said, “The country has agreed to so many conditions of mine. Presumably, there are many other requirements, right?”

General Godwin said solemnly, “Mr. Charlot, please rest assured that everything the country does is for the peace of this world, and we will definitely ensure your safety!”

“Alright then. I don’t have any objections to the three conditions you mentioned just now.”

Charlot said lightly, and at the same time, he sneered in her heart.

Everyone knew that the country had already given in on the naming rights of the academy. It was obvious that the country had already seen through the huge benefits hidden in the magic academy!

Next, it would be about the students, teachers, teaching methods, and how many people the various forces could squeeze in…

Moreover, the ultimate goal of the country would definitely be placed on the large-scale destructive forbidden spell!

That was the ultimate fear of a country towards the power of magic!

After Charlot nodded, General Godwin tilted his head to the right, indicating that the first step of negotiation had been completed.

General Miles, who was sitting in the middle, nodded slightly. His voice was calm as he said, “Then, since the basics have been agreed, let’s talk about the details!”

Charlot shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was fine with it.

In his heart, Charlot was very clear that the following negotiations were the main event!

He had left a few baselines for himself, and these baselines were absolutely impossible to break through!

First, the magic academy had to face the entire world in recruiting students! Moreover, it had to be done in the fairest way possible!

He could give some dignitaries some additional slots, but the basic recruitment must not be done in a hierarchical manner. That way, magic would not be able to spread to the entire human race!

Charlot deeply understood that even if there was a day when everyone in the world believed in magic and became a believer of magic, his strength would also break through the magister, Saint Magister, and Mage God!

Solely with his own strength, he would definitely not be able to withstand the great calamity of the Otherworld three years later!

Only by letting all humans accept magic and practice magic, the system would grow in this process, and his strength would also increase.

Only in this way would humans be able to survive the great calamity!

Therefore, the enrollment of students in the magic academy must be fair, just, and open!

And by making the country special, it would definitely cause war in the world. This was also something that Charlot could not accept!

Secondly, Charlot would strictly control the flow of magic and mages!

Regarding this point, Charlot was prepared to exchange for the [ proverbs scroll ] from the system. The function of the [ proverbs scroll ] was to allow a person to swear on it. The content of the oath would accompany the swearing persons for the rest of their life!

If the swearing person wanted to break the oath, then the backlash and punishment of the [ proverbs scroll ] would definitely make the swearing person pay a painful price!

After Charlot’s observation, the testing and selection of some magic tools, Charlot would carefully choose a person to teach some destructive magic.

However, Charlot had to strictly control the flow of these magic!

He would never allow the country to send a bunch of talented people to learn those powerful magic and then become a war criminal!
