Chapter 1112: The World Government Needs the Round Mirror!
Marine Calendar 1503, October 12th.
It was definitely a day worthy of being recorded in the future textbooks of this world.
Because this day was not only the day the 'Chef Association' officially announced its establishment to the public.
It was also the day the 'Magic Association' was established in this world.
However, compared to the grand and widely known establishment of the 'Chef Association',
The 'Magic Association', with Joseph as its first president, was largely ignored and kept extremely low-key.
After all, the profession of chef is found almost everywhere, while mages are very few in this world.
Perhaps 'very few' is a bit of an exaggeration.
Since the Elven race from the Familiar of Zero World migrated to Alabasta to live, there are now nearly 100,000 Elven Mages.
However, the magic level of most Elves is only enough to start a fire or conjure some water.
Except for Elves with high talent in Ancient Magic, their daily training still focuses on Swordsmanship and Archery.
But how can a mere less than 100,000 compare to millions of chefs?
More importantly, they are all Elves.
This was frustrating for Joseph, the former king of the Gallia Kingdom and now the president.
He hoped for more Human Mages.
However, the air in this world does not contain magic particles.
The Brimir Four Elements Magic System simply cannot be cast.
Fortunately, President Joseph has already heard that the World Government's Biochemical Research Institute is researching the 'Monster Bloodline Transplantation' technology.
Perhaps then, many Human Mages from the Familiar of Zero World will also acquire the constitution to generate magic power themselves.
And before that.
He has already found a temporary method for people to use magic.
The key lies in the bubbles of the Yarukiman Mangroves!
Through research, Joseph discovered that by using these magical bubbles to store the air from the Familiar of Zero World, magic particles can be preserved for a relatively long time, and Human Mages can cast Four Elements Magic inside the bubbles.
So, the only thing needed is to find a way to carry these bubbles storing magical air with them.
Is there a way?
There really is. He thought of the Storage Scrolls from the Ninja World, but these need to be modified so they can be opened not just with Chakra, but preferably just with mental power.
Of course, this also requires some time.
For now, Joseph can only ask the Mechanics Research Institute to install a set of 'Bubble Gas Storage' at the 'Magic Association Headquarters', which is the 'Former Hanlin Academy Council Magic Tower'.
That's right, the kind used on Fish-Man Island and Water Seven.
Joseph placed the 'Magic Association Headquarters Tower' on a Sky Island above Reverse Mountain.
Because he felt this was another center of this world.
Actually, Bithashar, Luxana, and other Elven Mages had previously suggested placing the 'Headquarters Tower' above Alabasta, which would also be convenient for their travel.
But Joseph overruled all objections and stuck to his idea.
However, just installing the 'Bubble Gas Storage' is not enough.
He must find a way to plant 'Yarukiman Mangroves' on the Sky Island, as only then can the bubbles exist long-term.
This is not difficult; find some saplings, prepare the necessary nutrients and seawater.
Then have the Elven Mages communicate with the Wood Spirit to accelerate their growth speed.
It just consumes a bit too much magic power, but fortunately, there is a pile of Wind Stones in the warehouse.
Thus.
As long as the mechanical equipment for the 'Bubble Gas Storage' is installed, the entire Magic Association Headquarters Sky Island can be wrapped in a large bubble.
Finally, periodically bring air from the Familiar of Zero World and pump it in.
Then Human Mages can also use magic within the island's range.
Perhaps it will be difficult to use in combat, but conducting related magic research is possible.
So Joseph directly invited Gandalfr, the former president of the Hanlin Academy Council, and Osman, the former dean of Tristain Academy of Magic, to join.
He asked these two people to serve as vice presidents to assist him in managing the affairs of the Magic Association.
This naturally caused questioning and opposition from the Elves, who stated that at least one vice president must be an Elf!
Joseph originally didn't want to bother with them; he hadn't been king for decades for nothing.
But who knew that Osman, citing the internal stability of the Magic Association, voluntarily gave up the position of vice president to Bithashar.
Joseph thought about it and agreed.
Mainly because the other party was Bithashar, with whom he had cooperated before in the Familiar of Zero World.
His Fire Stones, and the level four clay dolls Jörmungandr, were obtained with his help, so he was indeed worthy of the vice president position.
Thus, the basic structure of the Magic Association was established.
But today.
Joseph, along with his Void Familiar and secretary, Sheffield, and four Elven Mages and six flying Wind Dragons serving as his entourage and guards,
After a long journey across half of this world, the Demon Slayer World, the Titan World, and other places, finally returned to the Familiar of Zero World.
He first met with King Wales Tudor and Henrietta, who was already the Queen, at the royal palace of the Albion Kingdom for a discussion.
The next day.
Taking the World Government's official airship, he arrived at the 'Gate of Shaitan Valley Base', located in the Sahara Desert, near the former Elven Kingdom capital.
"Why are you here?"
Louise glanced at the expressionless Tabitha beside her, then looked at Joseph, who was wearing a luxurious blue and gold robe, with some displeasure, her tender white little face clearly showed her displeasure.
After all, this was the culprit who had killed Tabitha's father and driven her mother mad.
So Hiraga Saito, Tiffania, and others present who knew about this were not fond of him.
However, Joseph faced these attitudes calmly, with a smile.
"Alright then, I won't say any empty words about coming to see my niece."
He knew that saying such things now would only cause more aversion among these people.
There was nothing he could do; the things he had done were truly irreversible and unforgivable.
So he immediately explained the matter of the World Government establishing the Magic Association and appointing him as president.
"Hmph, so you want us to congratulate you on becoming president?"
Louise snorted coldly.
"Of course not. I came here mainly for two matters."
"First is to invite you, Saito-san, Tiffania, Aurelia (Tabitha's true name), and also this Mr. Hodorliu, who is said to be from another world, to join the Magic Association."
After speaking, Joseph paused, and without waiting for Louise to refuse, he continued:
"I am not inviting you in a personal capacity, but in the name of the Magic Association under the World Government."
"In fact, even if you don't agree, you will be recorded as association members."
"After all, you are Void Mages and Void Familiars, and the World Government will not allow you to remain unmanaged."
"Also, Pope Sixtus, who is also a Void Mage, has already agreed to join along with his Void Familiar, Julio Cesare."
"Furthermore, King Wales Tudor and Queen Henrietta, whom you are acquainted with, and Miss Louise, your second sister Miss Vallière, have also agreed to join the association."
Louise and the others were greatly surprised upon hearing this.
"Even, Highness Henrietta, Vallière... But, but they can't use magic in this world!"
"This problem has been initially solved by me," Joseph said with a smile.
"Then what kind of invitation is this? You're just here to notify us!"
Louise glared with puffed-up cheeks, while Hiraga Saito beside her looked helpless.
"What is the second matter?"
At this moment, Tabitha suddenly asked.
Her gaze towards this person, who was both a relative and an enemy, was very calm.
"It is my hope that Miss Louise will hand over all the 'Progenitor's Secret Treasures' to the Magic Association for safekeeping."
"However, the World Government currently needs the 'Round Mirror', so you can keep it for now."
President Joseph looked at Louise solemnly.
"I know you probably don't want to, but safeguarding important magic items is also one of the duties the World Government has given to the Magic Association."
"King Wales's Water Ruby, Queen Henrietta's Wind Ruby, Pope Vittorio's Ruby of Fire, and my Earth Ruby have all been recovered..."
