"Oh?" Mel blinked. As far as he knew, Annelotte hated the eldest prince Joffrey very much. How could she agree with him this time? Could it be that Annelotte's impression of Joffrey changed after a memory loss
"But what I call the threshold is different from the threshold mentioned by His Highness Joffrey." Annelotte continued.
"Then I wonder what the threshold in Miss Anne's words is?" Joffrey felt quite comfortable when he heard that Annelotte agreed with his idea. But when the Frost Maiden changed the subject, Joffrey frowned. Although he still covets Annelotte's beauty, he is no longer as enthusiastic as before. This woman turned out to be a user with attribute abilities like her brother. This alone was enough to make Joffrey hostile to Annelotte, just like he was to Regnar.
"I believe that the students we want to recruit should not be considered based on their birth status, but their abilities and talents should be carefully assessed. Only after ensuring that they are truly capable of becoming a qualified mage will we devote all our efforts To train him. That's what I call the threshold," Annelotte replied.
"So, Miss Annelotte." Joffrey asked with a smile: "I wonder where your funds come from?"
"If you want to make money, even a low-level mage can get a considerable amount of wealth." Annelotte expressed her thoughts: "I also disapprove of letting the empire pay for the students' daily expenses. Let them solve it with their own abilities.”
"But Miss Anne, you should also know that the so-called 'low-level mage' you call must be at least level six in order to have the ability to make money. What should you do with those low-level apprentices who are less than level six? This period is their most It’s a time when you can’t make money but also burn the most money.” Joffrey didn’t give in at all.
Annelotte thought for a while and then replied: "I have said before that the academy recruits only those apprentices who are truly talented and capable. If this is the premise, it will only take two years at most for these students to reach the sixth level. A matter of three years.”
"But the question is, what have you asked them to do in the past two or three years?" Joffrey asked: "As you can see, even if Lord Andrew is asked to take out another copper plate, he will feel that you are cutting his flesh."
"In the past two or three years, the apprentices can make loans to the Chamber of Commerce, or do odd jobs for the college. If that's not enough..." Annelotte suddenly turned slightly red when she said this: "Then let Regnar be responsible for solving it! "
"Ah?!" Regnar was stunned after hearing this.
"What? Aren't you willing to take responsibility?" Annelotte turned her head and stared at Regna.
"I would rather..." Regnar didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But the problem is that I don't have money..."
"Then..." Annelotte thought for a while, and then she recalled her previous memory: it seemed that as long as she showed some temper with this guy, he would satisfy her request no matter what.
Give it a try
"Then I don't care!" Annelotte said extremely stiffly: "Anyway, I just let you find a way!"
"Okay, okay..." Regnar wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then reluctantly agreed. Since Lady Anne has said so, let’s find a way! Anyway, there is a lot of information in the Military Intelligence Office. If you make good use of this information, you may not be able to find some way to make money.
"I have objections to this." Joffrey couldn't help but feel a little jealous when he saw Annelotte, known as the Frost Queen, acting mean to Regnar. He said: "Lord Regnar is the director of the Military Intelligence Department. His identity is extremely sensitive. If he uses his position to seek benefits, I am afraid that others will talk about him."
"Yeah, girl, this is not a good idea." Mel also rarely objected to Annelotte.
"..." Annelotte was silent. In fact, she knew that this method was too childish.
But because she lost most of her memory, Annelotte could hardly remember her previous considerations for the planning of the magic academy. She originally wanted to resign as the dean, but one thing in her memory reminded her: in order to help Regnar, she had to become the dean.
Because of this memory problem, Annelotte had no choice but to look through some documents she had written before, and then tried to recall what plans she had made before. But before she could think about everything, Mel had already started discussing the next step. So Annelotte had to bite the bullet and come over.
In fact, Annelotte herself didn't understand why she had to help that guy? I don’t care what I thought about it before, but from my perspective now, isn’t this guy just a nasty guy who stalks me? Why? Or do you want to help him
Annelotte couldn't think clearly, but she just felt that she needed to do this. This seems not to be the influence of memory on her, but to form an instinct... Has helping him become her habit
Annelotte couldn't understand these questions, but her thoughts became more and more confusing. That's why she came up with such a naive solution just now.
"Do you have any other solutions?" Mel looked at Annelotte and then asked in a low voice.
Annelotte's amnesia was not publicized, and Mel only gave a brief report to Ralphin, telling him that Annelotte's memory had been affected to a certain extent due to the poisoning, but the extent was not significant. , basically does not affect her daily life.
Mel also had a headache when he saw Annelotte in trouble. He also knew that from a long-term perspective, Annelotte's proposal was undoubtedly more correct. But the problem is that the empire's finances are now about to collapse. If it can't survive in the short term, what's the point of long term
"I can use my own ability to make money to subsidize the expenses of the college." Annelotte held back for a long time and only came up with this idea. After all, these questions came too suddenly. Annelotte could naturally handle them calmly if she was prepared, but she lost this part of her memory. Let her come up with a way to make money that is enough to support the expenses of the Magic Academy in such a short period of time? If Annelotte really had this ability, why would Andrew be the chancellor
"Yes, this is indeed a method, but it is not enough." Joffrey looked a little aggressive at this time, which made Regnar frown.
“…”
After another few minutes of silence, Regnar looked at the three people present, and then couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, Regnar and Annelotte have been together for such a long time, and this seems to be the first time that he has seen Annelotte being forced to the point where she has nothing to say.
Regnar didn't know how Annelotte, who had always been calm and composed, would react when she encountered this situation. So he kept silent, wanting to see what she would do. But now, Regnar couldn't bear it any longer.
"Everyone." Regnar stood up: "I want to ask everyone present a question."
"Don't be such a bastard, just ask if you have any questions!" Mel's eyes widened, but seeing Regnar willing to take the initiative, the old guy was actually quite pleased.
"I wonder what His Majesty's original intention was when he established the Magic Academy?" Regnar gave Annelotte a reassuring look and then asked.
"Naturally, we should follow the example of the Stoke Empire and teach magic semi-publicly in the form of an academy, so as to cultivate more combat mages or theoretical magic researchers for the empire," Joffrey said.
"Okay." Regnar nodded. He looked at Joffrey and asked, "Then did your Majesty say that this academy must be for profit?"
"Of course not." Joffrey shook his head and continued: "But you have to understand that the Magic Academy itself cannot operate without financial support. In other words, although money is not our purpose, it is Our must-have, it’s somehow bigger than the purpose.”
"I understand this." Regnar nodded: "In that case, it will be easy to handle. Master Mel, there is a solution here, I don't know if it is suitable."
"Whether it's appropriate or not, you can tell me first and listen." Mel looked at the twinkling light in Regna's eyes and knew that this kid was holding back something bad again.
"As I asked before." Regnar smiled and talked eloquently: "When His Majesty founded the magic academy, his ultimate goal was to cultivate magic talents for the empire. From this perspective, Anne's The admissions policy is undoubtedly more in line with His Majesty’s requirements. On the other hand, the funding issues raised by His Highness Joffrey are something we have to consider.”
"So? Do you have any good solution?" Mel couldn't help but ask.
"My method is very simple." Regnar smiled: "That's two methods, use them together!"
"Use them together?!" Everyone was a little confused. What kind of statement is this? Can you let the common people and noble princes enjoy the same living environment? Even if this is the case, how should the charging system be formulated
"Yes, we can use them together." Regnar spread his hands: "Look, we have two magic academies. As far as I know, one of the two academies is in the east of Merindl and the other is in the west. Since there are two The colleges are not next to each other, so why do they use the same admissions system?”
"You mean to have one college exclusively recruit aristocratic children, and another college exclusively recruit talented commoners?" Mel guessed Regner's intention.
"That's it." Regnar blinked at Mel and nodded: "I don't think the young masters of those nobles want to live with these commoners, right? In this case, we might as well separate them completely. The students in one academy are either rich or noble, and everyone is a wealthy young master. The students in the other academy are all malleable talents in the field of magic. They may have ordinary backgrounds, but once they are given enough support, they all Will make a good mage. That's my thinking."
"But you still haven't solved the funding problem of the civilian college." Joffrey sneered and put the problem back further.
"The solution is very simple." Regner looked at Joffrey with a conspiratorial expression: "That part of the money should come from the Noble Academy!"
