The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 473: School starts

Views:

More than a month later, Regner received a letter from Kordak. The letter stated that they had now settled down again on the continent of Lance.

The Eye of the Secret Magic has lost its former arrogance under the suppression of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild over the years, and what happened back then has been so long ago, so now that Kordak has returned to Lance Continent, as long as he remains anonymous, he will not What trouble will there be.

As Kordak said before, he used the money Regnar gave him to open a tavern, and then hired a few employees to run it together. Maybe it's because Kordak, the boss, is generous and down-to-earth. Anyway, business seems to be pretty good so far.

In addition to these things, Regnar was a little surprised by the two points Kordak mentioned in the letter:

The first point is that Kordak met Lanmire and Manhattan before leaving the continent of Chino. I don’t know what was discussed at that time, but in short, the final result was that Kordak and Lanmir came to the continent of Lance together.

The second point is that Kordak actually opened his tavern in the Meteor City under the eyes of the Mystical Eye. The specific location is near the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild's chore department. In this regard, Kordak explained that it was Alex's invitation. The thin, middle-aged assassin didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, not long after Kordak arrived on the Lance continent. The Moon Shadow Thieves Guild found them, and then half-invited and half-forced them to come to Falling Star City.

Although Manhattan, Kordak, and Lanmere are all high-level powerhouses, they also know that there will be no easy outcome if they go against a behemoth like the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. Moreover, Kordak felt that he had not sinned against them in any way, and he was even used by them to help them a lot. So after discussing with Manhattan, Kordak decided that it would be better not to resist the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. They opened a tavern in Falling Star City in accordance with Alex's wishes. During this period, the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild even took good care of them.

Regarding this question, Regnar couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart. Alex himself doesn't actually have many intentions that are easy to figure out, because he has a starting point for everything he does - to serve the guild president Villes. Therefore, his actions represent Villes' will. So what does Veles mean by placing Kordak and the others in Meteor City

Regnar couldn't guess. He could never guess what his teacher was planning.

But this time, Regnar guessed wrong. In fact, Alex did this out of his own will. He and Balor have a deep relationship. Alex always felt guilty about killing Balor with his own hands. So he has been looking for opportunities to make amends, and the only person who can make amends is Balor, his only relative in the world, Vera.

So after Alex said hello to Villes, he used the power of the guild to help Kordak and the others who were forced to exile back to the Lance continent. This was a rare act of pure kindness by Alex, but in the end it still aroused the suspicion of Regner and Kordak.

Alex could only smile bitterly in response: If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be able to send this letter to Regnar, and you still doubt me? !

But no matter what Alex's intentions are, judging from the current situation. The lives of Kordak and the others are still comfortable and stable. After getting this letter, Regnar was completely relieved.

The war between the two empires is still going on, but because the improved magic cannon developed by Annelotte is gradually put into the battlefield, the situation of the war between the empires has once again developed from a stalemate to a clear direction.

As the director of the Military Intelligence Department, Regnar's work content has not changed much. But after what happened with Kordak, Regnar had another goal in mind. He wanted to take revenge on Alfred, and he wanted to bring down this old fox who had brought his boss into disrepute and almost lost his life. To do this, he must gain more say in the empire.

Therefore, Regnar's plan is to gain more power through this imperial war. All of this was in preparation for dealing with Alfred.

Less than a month later, with the advent of spring, another major event also caused quite a stir within the Hawke Empire. That is the official opening of the two major magic academies in the Hawke Empire.

Although both major colleges are established in Melinder, the scope of students enrolled in the colleges is for the entire empire.

For the First Magic Academy, as long as you are from the Hawke Empire, as long as you have a sufficient background and are willing to pay the high tuition fees of the academy, then you can become a student of the largest and most luxurious magic academy in the Hawke Empire and enjoy The most systematic mage education system.

In contrast, the admissions rules for the Second Magic Academy of the Hawke Empire appear to be simpler and more crude: Do you have magic talent? have? come in! We will take care of everything, all you need to do is bring your outstanding talent and your never-ending desire to learn! No? Then please leave, and if you have the money, maybe try your luck at the First Academy of Magic.

Before the start of the school year, the two major magic academies had already been fighting openly and secretly for several rounds. There is competition for talents, resources for magic teachers, and competition for various magic equipment. But after the semester started, people realized that the previous collision could be said to be a friendly visit between the two colleges!

Because the two colleges are affiliated institutions of the Hawke Empire, at the request of Emperor Larvin, the opening ceremonies of the two colleges were forcibly held together. The venue was the First Magic Academy with more luxurious equipment. Because the two major colleges have a total enrollment of less than 600 students, the empty spaces are now crowded with people. In order to give people a friendly atmosphere, Larvin specially ordered that the academy be opened on that day, so that people could have the opportunity to get in touch with the world of magic.

At this time, the students recruited by the two empires came to the First Magic Academy in neat formations wearing their respective school uniforms. It has to be said that although they are both students of the Magic Academy, the financial gap between the two academies can be seen just by the school uniforms.

The school uniform of the First Academy of Magic is a light golden robe with very light white patterns on the collar and cuffs. This is not an ordinary pattern, this pattern is actually a small magic circle, which can change the pattern of the pattern through the adjustment of the mage. The pattern of the texture represents the overall performance of the student in the academy. The better the performance, the more gorgeous and beautiful the texture will be.

The robes of the Second Academy of Magic are much simpler, and their colors are just the opposite of those of the First Academy of Magic. Black fabric has become the main color of the school uniform, and golden patterns have become the decoration of the school uniform. It's just that the robes of the Second Magic Academy are basically only equipped with weak magic resistance, and there is no fancy design like the First Magic Academy that can change the pattern.

When students from the two colleges came together, the students from the First Academy of Magic almost naturally developed a sense of superiority: basically everything you wear, use, eat, and drink is provided by us. How do you want to compare with us

Most of the students at the Second Magic Academy, who were mostly civilians, had their heads lowered, and seemed unable to hold their heads up in front of these nobles. Of course, there are also some guys who are unruly or have a hatred of the rich and stubbornly raise their heads and stare back at them, which will attract disdainful pointing fingers from the students across from them.

"How uneducated."

"They are civilians after all."

"It's a good thing they didn't come to our school!"

In this way, the opening ceremony started amidst the dissatisfied faces of the students from the two colleges...

"As you know! We are all sons of nobles."

At this time, the dean of the Empire's First Magic Academy, the Empire's Grand Prince Joffrey Hawke, was giving a speech. This guy had one of his legs torn off by Kordak and now walks with a slight limp. But if you just stand here and give a speech, no one will be able to see anything unusual.

"We have the best campus environment, the best learning facilities, the best teachers, and the best educational policies. So, as a member of the First Magic Academy, what kind of students should we be?" Qiao Free asked provocatively.

"The best student!" The students of the First Magic Academy shouted excitedly and proudly.

"That's right!" Joffrey raised his right fist high as if he had been injected with blood: "Because we are children of nobles, people with the best bloodlines! Because we are students of the First Academy of Magic, We are students of the best magic academy! Therefore, we should and must do our best! Magic is honor!"

"Magic is honor!" the students repeated loudly. This was the school motto set by Joffrey for the First Academy of Magic. He hoped that the students in his academy would remember their desire for magic just like the nobles remembered their honor.

I have to say that although Joffrey usually looks like a fool, his speech skills are quite extraordinary. After these five minutes of incitement by the eldest prince, the students at the First Magic Academy are now full of fighting spirit. Everyone looks confident, as if they will become a great mage in the near future. "

After Joffrey's speech, it was Annelotte's turn.

"Is this girl okay..." As a guest, Regner was sitting in the stands and thought nervously. Annelotte doesn't seem to be able to make inflammatory speeches, because the speech itself is to use her own emotions to inspire other people's emotions, and this girl always freezes her emotions deep in her heart, and even if she releases them, she will probably have to With a chill like ice slag. Let her incite people? I'm just afraid it's enough!

After Joffrey returned to his seat, Annelotte stood up. She just walked onto the podium empty-handed, which made Regnar facepalm even more. This girl seemed not even prepared! It's over, it's over, does Anne have to make a fool of herself at this time
