Chapter 240 - Chapter 240: The Golden Age of Magi

[Along the way, they encountered too many rare mysteries]

[The magi in the group often wanted to collect everything, but the leader Brishisan reprimanded this behavior]

[In the face of increasingly noble mysteries]

[Magi must respond with greater reverence]

[In fact, this is indeed the case]

[Everything on this island is the property of Great Britain; you cannot allow outsiders to harvest freely]

[Seeing these magi offer enough etiquette]

[You also made your own decision]

[The ministers were still discussing the matter of the magi, and Artoria was also contemplating whether to allow it]

[These magi are willing to give everything for the mysterious]

[For Britain, this is a valuable opportunity for foreign diplomacy. All they need to do is to let the magi become citizens of Britain, and the magi are willing to offer all their wealth for this]

[Perhaps, if you asked them to sell their families]

[These magi would agree]

[The ministers almost held differing opinions]

[Some believed that outsiders are barbarians and should not be allowed to join the noble Britain, letting them bask in the glory of you and King Arthur. Others believed that external communication is necessary and that this opportunity should be seized to utilize this group of magi]

[Both sides were thinking about what is best for Britain, and for a moment, the court meeting was filled with arguments, each side having its own reasoning]

[This is the first time outsiders want to actively stay in Britain]

[Artoria also found it difficult to make a direct decision]

[On a larger scale, this matter will determine the future direction of Britain and how to treat humanity]

"Let these magi join Britain. Those who are self-righteous and stagnant are destined to be eliminated by the times. If we can seize this opportunity, it will also facilitate our future measures towards the outside world."

[You once again offered Artoria your advice]

[With your voice this time]

[Artoria also made a decision]

[The various dissenting opinions within the palace finally calmed down]

"I agree to the request of all you magi to take root in Britain, but correspondingly, you must offer absolute loyalty to the Lord of the Island, and all mysteries shall belong to Britain. Do you accept?"

"Thank you for King Arthur's great grace! We will surely offer our loyalty to Britain and together protect this last land of the divine age in the world!"

[The magi collectively established a blood pact]

[All mysteries on the island belong to Britain, including these magi, who are also the property of Britain]

[Both parties gained from this transaction]

[Not only can the magi take root in Britain, but Artoria also allows them to bring their families]

[Thus, the entire magus lineage belongs to Britain]

[This is what the blood pact decided]

[The magi had no right to refuse the Lord of the Island; in exchange, they were allowed to study magecraft as citizens on the island and were also permitted to exploit some resources of Britain]

[All of this is predicated on the condition that the magi do not harm Britain or become enemies of it]

[Britain thus gained a channel for external communication]

[Now you can utilize the influence of the families of these magi in the outside world to communicate and interact with it]

[Basically, you have absorbed the Mage's Association into your fold]

[The magi have no complaints]

[They can build magecraft workshops in Britain and explore the extinct mysteries of the Albion Spirit Caverns. They can even receive your assistance to a certain extent]

[In this isolated Britain]

[Even the powerful Church cannot interfere]

[This made the magi, who had long suffered oppression from the Church, deeply grateful to the king to whom they pledged their loyalty for the first time]

[Not only are there such ancient mysteries]

[But it also left those church fanatics staring at them in disbelief, and it would not be an exaggeration to praise Britain as the holy land of magi]

[Afterward, the Mage's Association headquarters, known as the Clock Tower]

[Was officially established in Great Britain]

[The Church showed no anger about this; they would take thousands of years to deal with a single twenty-seventh ancestor]

[Looking again at the chaotic Great Britain]

[That sacred land is completely beyond their intervention; the agents cannot cross that sea]

[As if the entire ocean possessed life]

[Several batches of armed forces entered and never returned]

[Not a single piece of news came back]

[It was simply a den that devoured the living]

[The Clock Tower was able to be established]

[Even if the magi followed the rules of concealing mysteries, the concentration of mysteries in Britain was too high]

[For magi, it was like paradise]

[No one did not want to come here]

[For a time, becoming a magus of the Clock Tower seemed to be the only channel for them to take root in Britain]

[Magi were eager to join the Clock Tower, causing an unprecedented wave in the magical world]

[This was later referred to as the beginning of the Golden Age of Mage's]

[As long as one was born in the Clock Tower]

[They would surely be magi who possessed noble mysteries, with knowledge and power that were extraordinary]

[The mysteries of the outside world were gradually depleting]

[Yet Britain remained stable and unchanged]

[The trend of this era further intensified the desire of medieval magi to go to Britain]

[Some magi even believed that if they did not go to Britain, their lineage would face extinction]

[It can be said that even novice magi knew that Britain was the Eden belonging to magi]

[Unfortunately, Britain is just an island nation]

[Even for a group as small as magi, Britain does not intend to accept too many outsiders]

[Now, magi from all over the world are aware of Britain]

[They regard Britain as the supreme holy land]

[Each one wants to bring their families here, hoping that the land of the divine age can ensure the eternal existence of their magical lineage]

[Britain possesses unique geographical advantages]

[The air is rich in magical power]

[Magical lineages here will not experience decline, fundamentally alleviating their worries about the fading of mysteries]

[Just this point alone]

[Is enough to drive a multitude of magi crazy]

[They have painstakingly researched the inheritance of magical seals, cultivating the human bloodlines of their descendants—]

[Hoping to prevent their lineage from falling into decline, in order to better fulfill the "Grand Order" left by their ancestors]
