Nostradamus, no surname, no family, the first genius mage in the Northern Empire who does not have any mysterious bloodline or family support, relies only on his own efforts, reaches his ultimate goal step by step, and is very likely to advance to the level of legend.
He is proficient in any general spells and time and space spells, and has even developed many unique personal magics. More than thirty years ago, he led the Imperial Mage Legion to carry out group teleportation and raided the shaman army of the orc army three times in a row. A great victory was achieved, which sealed the victory on the battlefield.
Although Nostradamus has gradually stopped showing up and is hiding behind the scenes, he has many disciples all over the empire, from commoners to nobles, from elves to dwarves. As long as they are willing to learn, the white-haired old mage is willing to help them Take the path of magic.
But now, the old mage with such a glorious past is telling the warrior that he wants to build a mage academy in his territory.
As long as Joshua is not crazy, he will definitely not refuse this suggestion.
"Of course I support this."
He replied without hesitation. After hearing the news, Joshua felt much better: "Master, it is undoubtedly my honor that you are willing to open an academy in my territory. However, there is a question..."
When he said this, the warrior's voice deepened, and he asked with some confusion: "If you want to build a new mage academy, why did you choose my territory? Although I am confident that Moldavia is a good place, but the empire is so It’s so big, there must be better options.”
There is no doubt that building a mage college is a good thing for everyone, so why is Nostradamus's voice hesitant? Of course, Joshua would not express his doubts, but he was waiting for the old mage's answer.
"… there are many reasons."
After a moment of silence, Nostradamus's voice seemed a little distorted through the communication array, with a slight overtone: "One of them is that for some unknown reason, the concentration of magic energy in the North is increasing. According to the Royal The Mage Association speculates that it is probably because the chaotic aura leaked from the Time and Space Gate has been purified. Although the current increase in magic energy is not obvious, the increase is very stable, which is very suitable for training new mages."
This is indeed a reasonable reason. Joshua nodded. For mages, the concentration of magic energy before a certain threshold can increase their ability to master magic and their adaptation speed. But as for the reason for the increase in magic energy concentration, He had a different opinion.
- It should be a sign before the coming of the great demonic tide. The time and space barrier in the North is relatively weak. Even if I close almost all the time and space gates, in comparison, it is still more sensitive than other places in Mycroft Continent, so The external magic energy penetrated time and space and came to the Northland earlier.
Joshua thought so.
The old mage was still explaining other reasons: "Secondly, it is to stay away from the undercurrent in the imperial capital. The Northland is far away from the central area of the empire. No matter what the conspiracy is, it will be difficult to harass your territory."
When he said this, Nostradamus' tone was a little tired. He smiled bitterly, and then said slowly: "Joshua, you are also a noble. You should understand that conservative nobles have always been dissatisfied with the fact that the Royal Mage Academy actually accepts civilian students. They feel dissatisfied, they think that civilians can learn magic, but they will never allow these people to tarnish the magic holy land of the nobles, and I, the dean who is born as a commoner, is their biggest thorn in the side."
"Although the new generation of nobles with military exploits like your father and His Majesty the Emperor do not agree with their opinions, there are almost seven conservatives among the ten nobles, and the two dukes are the staunchest conservatives. Among them Under the influence of , I can no longer train students normally... And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the undercurrent in the imperial capital. There are more invisible conspiracies brewing secretly. The political meaning of the Royal Academy is too strong, and it has already It is no longer a holy place to train a new generation of mages.”
Joshua listened to the old man talking about the undercurrents surging in the imperial capital. Since His Majesty the Emperor no longer pays attention to trivial matters other than war, the fight between the two dukes, the suppression of civilians' promotion channels by the nobles, and the conflicts between various princes The competition among the forces has begun to become fierce.
These are all problems that will inevitably arise in a country. For the sake of profit, or even simply to attack opponents, each faction 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, This is just the tip of the iceberg of disputes. As the great era approaches, the battles within the empire will become more and more intense.
But the warrior has always been too lazy to pay attention to such stupid things that waste his life. He sneered at any conspiracy. He could hear that Nostradamus had more to say, so he continued to wait for further explanations from the other party.
"I plan to open a War Mage Academy in the North for civilian students. They may not necessarily understand the mysteries contained in spells, but they must be masters of using spells. The topics studied by the Royal Mage Academy are too profound and have penetrated into the world. The origin of it is not a mystery that a new mage can understand."
There was pride in the Royal Mage Academy in the voice of the old mage, but also a hint of helplessness: "Magic is a tool, and pursuing truth is one of its functions, but other things are equally important. For civilians, fighting can make them stand out. Spells are the most practical and what the empire needs most today."
Joshua nodded. He could understand the difference between scientific research and military industry. Although the two complement each other, they cannot be placed in the same place.
"War Mage Academy..."
Repeating this word, Joshua narrowed his eyes 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 husband and wife. The war spells used by Verdani on the fortress were also deeply remembered by Joshua. The terrifying power of [Star Arc Shatter] to wipe out all the monsters within thousands of meters in an instant is something that even Joshua cannot do now. Yes, although he can still kill so many monsters and is not as exhausted as Veldani, he is far inferior to him in terms of instantaneous explosive power.
"We will indeed need more war mages to deal with demons in the future." Nodding, Joshua believed that this aspect was not a problem, and at the other end of the communication array, Nostradamus's story was coming to an end.
"Actually, these problems are not the biggest reasons... If I build the Mage Academy in your territory, then you will undoubtedly be targeted and attacked by conservatives."
Nostradamus's voice seemed very heavy: "You are the most powerful among the new generation of nobles I know, and you are also a warrior. You have nothing to do with the magic circle. But for those crazy dogs, Yan, this is not a reason to stop, so I am a little hesitant."
There is no need to hesitate.
The warrior sneered: "Master, these are not problems. This is Moldavia, my territory, Joshua. No matter how turbulent the undercurrent is in the imperial capital, it has nothing to do with me or my territory."
"And if someone is really stupid enough to test me."
After saying that, Joshua shook his head and said with a smile: "I just happened to have finished recuperating recently, so it's a good thing to have someone to help me relieve my boredom."
Just as Joshua and Nostradamus were further discussing the issue of opening a mage academy, they were 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 power, copying many complicated magic technology information in the storage crystal.
Firefly stared at the purple-blue crystallized metal body of No. 3, her eyes flashing with envy.
What a beautiful color... Miss Shenji sighed in her heart. After watching it for so long, she couldn't help but want to touch this magnificent rune core.
No. 3 is unable to walk on her own due to the wishes of the main body. Usually other maids help push the cart to carry it, but the cemetery church is not a place that ordinary people can go, and Rin usually handles official business in the lord's mansion, so today it is by Firefly comes to transport the body of artificial intelligence.
