For the residents of Moldavia, the year of 832 is a year of ups and downs. The cold winter at the beginning of the year is extra long due to the aftereffect of the Kuroshio. If the Lord's government had not given tax exemption or even assistance to the hunters and villagers living in the mountains, maybe many people would have spent a dark and cold winter in the empty forest.
However, a series of reforms carried out by the new Lord later made everyone feel that he was different. This young Lord named Joshua van Radcliffe not only carried out large-scale road paving and infrastructure construction in all parts of the territory, but also did not know where to draw a batch of investment to carry out two major projects near the snow capped mountain of niece.
Sometimes, spending money on infrastructure construction is not pure consumption. Large scale construction brings more employment and consumption, which greatly promotes the territory's economy. In addition, the Lord seems to attach great importance to education, opening a lot of basic schools, and inviting a lot of learned scholars to be teachers, Most of the children stay in school for a day, and a part of the labor force bound at home because of children is liberated.
The main city of Moldavia, the broken sword tavern.
This famous pub is owned by an old half Elf Ranger. He lost a hand in his adventure 40 years ago, so he simply quit the dangerous business and opened the pub with a generous reward. This Ranger once had the strength of silver. Although breaking his hand made him lose part of his fighting power, his superb throwing skills of throwing knives still made many curfew dare not make mistakes. Maybe it was because of the common topic. Many adventurers or mercenaries were frequent customers of this wine shop, and the semi elves' mixing skills also made them feel satisfied.
Today is the 833 year of the star crash. In February 14th, it was also a snowstorm. The heavy snow blocked the way to the outside world. Many of the bounty hunters and adventurers who were going to Schwarzwald to find their mission goals could only regret the delay of the trip, go to the familiar places to drink, chat and spend time.
So at this time, there were many people in the broken sword tavern. Under the dim pyroxene light, there were a lot of voices.
But it's strange that these people are all talking about the same thing.
"My friend, are you sure you're right?"
A middle-aged man with a big beard sitting by the window, holding a glass half arm high, said to his companion with a serious face: "is that adult going to open a magic academy? Are you sure that's what the municipal news says? "
"Of course, don't look at me with that kind of suspicion."
Dressed in leather armour, the young half elf sitting opposite answered the other's question without hesitation, and grabbed the wine cup in the middle-aged man's hand. He took a sip of it. He shook his head and said, "this news can't be more true. There is the Lord's coat of arms on the notice. Don't you know my memory? Absolutely
As if shocked by the news, the middle-aged man felt his beard, but he didn't have time to get angry with his partner who robbed his wine. He frowned and thought, "something's wrong. There are a lot of powerful knights, soldiers and archers in the north. You can find seven or eight of them. Moreover, most people's blood heritage and talents are in this aspect, so it's convenient to find teachers, Why did you come to a magic school? "
"Who knows."
After drinking the wine in the glass, the half elf looked indifferent: "anyway, I'm going to let my children try their entrance test. If they have talent, it doesn't matter if they don't bow with me. Anyway, that smelly boy doesn't want to practice... My ancestors have elf blood after all. Maybe they can really be a master."
"Your boy?" Hearing this, the middle-aged man said strangely: "isn't magic all played by those rich people? Why did you come up with this idea? I advise you not to throw away all your savings... "
"Ha ha ha, it won't be." Interrupted each other's words, the half elf said with a smile: "I asked the guards who sent the message. They said that as long as they are residents of Moldavia, they can take their certificates to take part in a free test, and I heard that the tuition is not expensive, at least it's worth fighting!"
"Is that so..."
The middle-aged man, lost in thought, does not need money for the test, and the tuition is not expensive. If the conditions are so superior... Then he also wants to let his children have a try.
After all, it's the master wizard. Who doesn't want to try it? They have tasted the hard work of ordinary professionals for a long time. Even being a mage is hard work. At least they haven't tasted it.
Not only them, but also others around them are discussing the truth of the news, and as time goes on, the whole city knows the news.
In the north of the city, there are scholars' houses and study rooms.
The little boy Ivan and his sister Amira are learning a series of professional knowledge under the guidance of their grandfather.As young children, what they need now is not high-intensity exercise, but to know what they are good at and what they want to do in the future. Before they really start to work hard, they must understand the advantages and disadvantages of each profession and make their own choices.
Although Edward is only an ordinary scholar, he also knows one or two skills of magic and has taken part in several adventures. He clearly knows that if he wants to go further on the road of the strong, he must lay a solid foundation, which is not only physical conditions, but also spiritual thoroughness.
I know what I want, what my future goal is, and what I am good at. With such self-knowledge, even if I have poor talent, I will not waste time and go astray.
"Master!"
With the thumping of heavy footsteps, the tall and strong maid came to the study and began to knock on the door eagerly. Her strength was so strong that she felt like she was going to break the door. The children who were studying hard and Edward were also shocked.
"It's coming, it's coming... Naka, knock gently next time."
Although some annoyed each other interrupted Ivan and Amira's study, the old man also knew that his maid had never lost her temper after so many years. Since the reaction was so big, there must be important news.
And just after he opened the door, the maid named Naka pulled the old man out of the door with a happy face: "Sir, look, good news!"
"Oh, my old bone, what makes you so excited... Etc.!"
After touching his waist, Edward took the notice from Naka and frowned. At first, he complained a little, but later, he had no time to think about anything else. Instead, he concentrated on reading the notice: "magic academy? Does it not rule out the possibility of expanding into a multi occupation professional college? Local people in Moldavia are free of test fees, and tuition fees are also favorable? This... "
"Generous and merciful Lord..."
He took a deep breath and calmed down. Edward first closed his eyes and calmed down. He silently read some fragmentary words to restrain his excitement.
magician.
Although, in a real battle, magicians of the same level may not be able to have an advantage over other classes of the same level, this is a class that does not lie in fighting, but in research and preparation.
As a real treasure resource, the status of a magician is obviously higher than that of other professions except paladins and priests. Moreover, no profession can easily defeat them when they are prepared. The most important thing is that, except war mages, other mages rarely directly participate in combat. They are valuable as logistics or auxiliary, It's bigger than a fort. Safety is guaranteed.
Even according to the dream of two little guys, dragon slaughtering, if a mage wants to kill a dragon, as long as he is prepared, his success rate will certainly be higher than that of other professions. If their parents know this news, they will certainly agree with this.
So, a moment later, Edward went back to his study. He glanced at Ivan and Amira, and then said to the two children with a smile
"Little ones - are you going to be a magician?"
But Ivan and Amira looked at each other and shook their heads at a loss. Then they seemed to react and nodded
