v4 Chapter 10: The mage only needs flash, which is a ch

Nostradamus, no surname, no family, northern empire, the first genius mage who has no mysterious blood and family support, struggles on his own, step by step to the extreme, and is very likely to advance to the legendary genius.

He is proficient in any general spells and time-space spells, and even developed a lot of unique personal magic. More than 30 years ago, he led the imperial mage army to carry out group teleports and raid the shaman army of the orc army for three consecutive times. A big victory, finalized the victory on the battlefield.

Although Nostradamus has gradually ceased to show up and hide behind the scenes, his disciples are all over the empire, from commoners to nobles, from elves to dwarves, as long as they are willing to learn, the old gray-haired mage is willing to help them go. On the road of magic.

But now, the old mage with such a glorious past is telling the warrior that he wants to establish a mage academy in his territory.

As long as Joshua is not crazy, she will definitely not refuse this suggestion.

"Of course I support it."

He replied without hesitation. After hearing the news of this number, Joshua was in a good mood: "Master, you are willing to open an academy in my territory. It is undoubtedly my honor. However, there is a question..."

When he said this, the soldier's voice became low and he asked with some doubts: "Why do you choose my territory if you want to build a new mage academy? Although I am confident that Moldavia is a good place, the empire is like this. It's so big, there must be a better choice."

There is no doubt that building a mages academy is a good thing for anyone, so why is Nostradamus's voice hesitant? Qiao Xiuya would naturally not speak out such doubts, but he was waiting for the answer from the old mage.

"……there are many reasons."

There was silence for a while, and Nostradamus’ voice appeared a little distorted through the communication array, with a slight overlap: “One of them, because of some unknown reason, the concentration of mana in the North is increasing. According to the Royal The Mage Association’s speculation is probably because the chaotic aura leaked from the time-space gate was purified. Although the current increase in mana power is not obvious, the increase is very stable, which is very suitable for cultivating new mage."

This is indeed a reasonable reason. Joshua nodded. For the mage, the mana concentration before a certain threshold can increase their ability to master mana and the speed of adaptation, but for the reason for the increase in mana concentration, He has a different opinion.

——It should be a harbinger before the arrival of the Great Demon Tide. The time and space barriers in the North Land are relatively weak, even if almost all the time and space doors are closed by me. In contrast, it is more sensitive than other places in the Mycroft Continent. Therefore, the external magic energy penetrated time and space and came to the Northland earlier.

Joshua thought so.

The old mage is still explaining other reasons: "Secondly, it is to stay away from the dark tide in the imperial capital. The North is far away from the central area of ​​the empire. No matter what the conspiracy is, it is difficult to harass your territory."

When he said this, Nostradamus’ tone was a little tired. He gave a bitter smile, and then slowly said: “Joshua, you are also a nobleman. You should understand that conservative nobles have always treated the Royal Mage Academy for accepting civilian students. Feeling dissatisfied, they think that civilians can learn spells, but they will never allow these people to defile the magical sanctuary of the nobles, and I, the dean of civilian origin, is their biggest thorn in the eye."

"Although the new generation of nobles who were born in military service like your majesty and your father do not agree with their opinions, there are almost seven conservatives out of ten nobles, and the two dukes are the most staunch conservatives. Under the influence of, I can no longer train students normally... and this is only the tip of the iceberg of the dark tide in the imperial capital. There are more invisible conspiracies brewing in the dark. The political meaning of the Royal Academy is too strong, it It is no longer a sacred place to train a new generation of wizards."

Joshua listened to the old man's account of the undercurrents surging in the imperial capital. Since His Majesty no longer pays attention to trivial matters other than wars, the battle between the two dukes, the suppression of the rising channels by the nobles on the common people, and the prince The competition between the forces has begun to become fierce.

These are all problems that will inevitably arise in a country. For the benefit, or even simply to fight against the opponent, the various factions will naturally do their best to hinder each other. The old mage is right, the problems encountered by the Royal Mage Academy in the capital, It is just the tip of the iceberg of disputes. With the advent of the great era, the struggle within the empire will intensify.

But the soldier has always been too lazy to pay attention to this kind of stupid thing that wastes his life. He sneered at any conspiracy. He could hear Nostradamus and later, so he continued to wait for the other party's further explanation.

"I am going to open a war mage academy for civilian students in the Northland. They may not need to understand the mysteries contained in spells, but they must be masters who use spells. The subjects studied by the Royal Mage Academy are too profound and have penetrated into the world. The origin of, that is not a mystery that the newly promoted wizard can understand."

In the voice of the old mage, there is pride in the Royal Mage Academy, and a hint of helplessness: "Magic is a tool, and the pursuit of truth is one of its functions, but other things are equally important. For civilians, it can make them stand out in battle. Spells are the most practical, and they are what the empire needs most now."

In scientific research and military industry, Qiao Xiuya nodded. He can understand the difference in this regard. Although the two complement each other, they really cannot be placed in the same place.

"War Mage Academy..."

Repeating this word, Qiao Xiu squinted and thought for a while.

According to the old mage, the lord of Moldova, Verdani, was also his disciple. It was for this reason that the countess met Brandon and became a husband and wife. And the war spell Verdani used on the fortress at the beginning also impressed Joshua. [Star Arc Shattered] the terrible power of destroying all the beasts within a few kilometers in an instant, even now Joshua can't do it. Yes, although he can kill so many monsters, he will not be as exhausted as Verdani, but in terms of instantaneous explosive power, it is far behind.

"We really need more war wizards to deal with the devil in the future." Nodding, Joshua didn't think this was a problem, and at the other end of the communication array, Nostradamus' narration was nearing its end.

"In fact, these problems are not the biggest reason... If I build the Mage Academy in your territory, then you will undoubtedly be targeted by conservatives."

Nostradamus’s voice seemed very heavy: “You are the most powerful of the new generation of nobles I know, and you are also a warrior. It has nothing to do with the circles on the magic side. But for those mad dogs In other words, this is not a reason to stop, so I hesitate a little."

What's hesitating about this.

The warrior sneered: "Master, these are not problems. This is Moldavia, my territory of Joshua. No matter how turbulent the undercurrents in the imperial capital, it has nothing to do with me or my territory."

"And ~lightnovelpub.net~ if someone is really stupid enough to come and test me."

As he said, Qiao Xiu shook his head and smiled: "It just so happens that I have recently finished training my body. It is also a good thing that someone can help me relieve my boredom.

Just as Joshua and Nostradamus were discussing the opening of the Mage Academy step by step, in the study room of the Cemetery Church in the west of the city.

The silver-haired girl sat aside, staring blankly at a blue-haired black-winged magic projection controlling the magic, and many complicated magic technology materials were duplicated in the storage crystal.

Firefly stared at the purple-blue crystallized metal body of No. 3, her eyes twinkling, very envious.

What a beautiful color...Miss Shenji sighed in her heart. After watching for so long, she couldn't help but feel the core of this magnificent rune.

Due to the willingness of the body, No. 3 can’t walk on his own. Usually, other maids help with carts to carry them. However, the cemetery church is not a place that ordinary people can go to. Rin usually handles official duties in the lord’s mansion. Firefly to transport the body of artificial intelligence. (To be continued.):
