Chapter 333
Hearing the king's words, Aurelion was slightly stunned, and turned around to look around.
The nobles around him didn't seem surprised by this sudden proposal.
But... Aurelion didn't quite understand.
Is he crazy?
In the kingdom, the high-ranking nobles are basically all warriors who have established their positions with force.
Because they need this force to consolidate the dominance of the territory.
Therefore, the lord of a territory must be the strongest person in the territory.
This is fundamentally different from the empire.
The strong men of the empire basically guard the cities of all parties under the order of the empire, and they will not interfere in the management of the city.
Because the strongest person in the empire is the emperor, and all power is concentrated in the emperor.
In the empire, there are very few lords.
Including the Clevenna family, they are not lords in the real sense.
Although the Clevenna family once obtained a large piece of territory and allowed to name it after the surname Clevenna.
That is, the Clevenna Territory.
But the largest city in that territory, Braxton.
It is not completely ruled by the Clevner family.
Although everyone knows that the Clevner family is the boss of Braxton.
But on the surface, the Empire will still arrange personnel to manage the city together with the Clevner family.
This is the biggest difference between the national conditions of the Kingdom and the Empire.
In the Kingdom, as long as the order of the territory remains relatively stable and there is no tendency to riot and rebellion.
Basically, the lord will not be replaced at will.
And the Empire will change the mayor of a city at any time for development.
The term of office of a mayor may be five years or ten years, and he will be replaced by another person.
The original mayor will naturally be promoted after enough experience and have a bigger position.
But King Kant must ensure that the lord's military force is strong due to national conditions.
Otherwise, the subordinates of the territory will not be convinced.
The easiest way for civilians to be promoted is to become a warrior and cross the class by exercising their flesh and blood.
This also led to the warrior profession, which is the easiest to promote, becoming the mainstream of the kingdom.
This also led to the kingdom having a unique system of titles - star titles.
A lord's management ability, the reputation of the territory and his military power will affect his star rating.
So the competition in the Kingdom of Kant is very fierce, to a terrible degree.
It is precisely because the warriors are too involuted that almost all other professions in the kingdom are killed.
Especially the mages, they spend a lot of time and effort to accumulate knowledge.
But there is almost no place to stand in this fierce competition.
Therefore, the mages in the kingdom simply gave up the traditional mage profession and turned to niche and remote means to pursue the power they seek.
But unfortunately, in the end, all of them died on this road.
The territories are all warriors, and they must ensure that the nobles are all warriors.
But if the king vigorously promotes mages and even wants to build a magic academy.
Let's not talk about what impact this will have on the rule of the kingdom.
Anyway, for the lords, the impact is quite big.
So, Aurelion took the initiative to ask the king:
"Your Majesty, do you know how difficult it is to train a mage?"
King August nodded, leaned back on the throne, and smiled:
"Yes, I know very well."
Because there is a powerful mage in their country, that is, Grand Duke Festan Barro.
Aurelion's expression was a little serious, and he continued to ask:
"Then I want to know, if a more powerful mage appears, will you choose to give them a title?"
This is almost a concern of the entire kingdom system.
Although it is difficult for mages to become strong, there will still be many talents under the academic education.
Although they will not grow as quickly as those warriors and have strong strength, it is still possible for some second- and third-level mages to appear.
At this time, should the kingdom give them a title?
If not, why do they still go to school at the magic academy?
Isn't learning magic just to become a noble in the future and bring honor to the family?
King August's answer was very clever.
"If their contributions can reach the corresponding star level, they will naturally receive their corresponding treatment."
In other words, the answer was given from the beginning.
In the Kingdom of Kant, the competition is very fierce.
Even if you are a wizard, as long as you can reach the level standard of the Star Lord system.
You can become a noble.
This seems very fair, because this is a kingdom with stars.The nobility system.
As long as you get a star, even one star, you will become a baron from a civilian.
At first glance, this seems to be fine, but the problem is.
In the early stage, the mages were weak and destined to be unable to compete with the powerful warriors.
After all, in the environment of the Kingdom of Kant, there are more warriors and they are much stronger than mages.
But don't forget one thing.
That is, the life span of mages is much longer than that of warriors.
A mage may live long enough to witness the replacement of three generations of warriors.
This longevity gives them enough time to establish their own status in the kingdom's aristocratic system.
Frequent use of elemental magic, magic power constantly flows on the meridians in the body, and the body will be nourished by magic power and stay young and full of vitality.
For a well-maintained mage, living one or two hundred years is not a problem.
When those old warriors die, the mages will still be alive.
After that period, the aristocratic system of the entire kingdom will probably be firmly in the hands of those old wizards.
Although there are very few wizards, not everyone can become a wizard.
However, living longer means having more seniority.
As long as there are a hundred old wizards who have lived for more than a hundred years, how can the position of the noble lord be occupied by those newly promoted warriors?
Why is the Kingdom of Kant so strong?
The reason is that there are many warriors and they transform quickly.
The threshold for warriors is low, which leads to even civilians holding dreams and voluntarily becoming a warrior.
Although civilians don’t know how long they have to work hard, as long as they become stronger and get star ratings, they will become nobles and be able to bring honor to their ancestors, right?
So that even civilians in the entire kingdom have good military power.
But once the wizard nobles appear on a large scale.
If subsequent people want to be promoted, they must first face the huge threshold of becoming a wizard.
Not everyone can become a wizard.
Moreover, there is also the boring study time.
A powerful mage needs time to accumulate knowledge, and only a powerful mage can become a noble.
But the more powerful the mage, the more he cannot avoid aging.
So you want to become a lord?
Then live to be a hundred years old first!
Aurelion combined the situation of the kingdom and analyzed it. She saw the potential problems very clearly.
As the lord of a country, would August not realize this?
But the other party insisted on saying that he wanted to establish a magic academy?
Did the other lords agree?
This question made Aurelion very entangled.
After thinking about it again and again, she should not answer this kind of thing by herself.
Because any answer would only make her fall into the trap of the young king.
Too much talk leads to mistakes.
So Aurelian smiled and said politely:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, if you know, you will know that I have two teachers."
"Although I am a mage, I spent as much time learning swordsmanship as I did learning magic."
Hearing this, many noble lords couldn't help but look at Aurelian.
From their faces, they could see great surprise.
Is this mage princess, who looks even a little weak, actually a melee mage who practices both physical and magic?
To practice both physical and magic, you need to work twice as hard.
This made the nobles present re-evaluate the princess and once again have a strong liking for her.
After all, in this kingdom, lords usually only care about two things - strength and whether the other party is a warrior.
Aurelian said calmly:
"So I'm sorry I can't give an answer to this question. After all, I'm not a traditional mage."
"However, Your Majesty, you may ask my teacher, Victor, that is, Senator Cravenna."
As soon as these words came out, many nobles fell silent.
A distinct breath began to rise from the entire hall.
It was so powerful that it seemed as if all the elements in this space were aroused together.
The magic power seemed to be stirring, surrounding every noble present like a torrent.
This oppressive magic power made everyone present feel a little uneasy.
Many people couldn't help but cast their eyes on Victor.
He just sat there calmly with his hands in his pockets.
But these noble lords could clearly feel it.
This sense of oppression was obviously coming from Senator Cravenna.
Many people knew Victor. After all, the ocean battle that spread all over the world was too shocking.
And they had heard about it.
Victor and his companions, on their way to visit the Kingdom,The Nangapurna Valley between them was bombed.
The kind of thing that was almost impossible for human power to do made these warriors feel even more shocked.
No matter how powerful they were, they could not cause such a disaster.
August raised his eyebrows with some interest and continued to say to Aurelian;
"Oh? Senator Cravener also knows this?"
Aurelian responded with a smile.
"Of course, my teacher is the chief professor of our Imperial Royal Magic Academy."
As she spoke, a proud look appeared on her face.
This little bit of pride made August notice it.
He smiled lightly:
"I know."
Then he looked at Victor, with deep respect in his eyes:
"Senator Cravener."
Victor had no expression on his face and just nodded indifferently in response.
The king asked:
"In fact, my desire to establish a magic academy is not a momentary impulse."
"In our kingdom, we already have an academy similar to the Empire's magic academy."
"It's just that it is more inclined to train powerful warriors."
At this point, August was sitting up, his eyes seemed to reveal deep emotions.
"Star Academy."
"This name is taken from the title system of our kingdom."
"When I was young, I also studied there."
He stood up, as if inviting, and smiled and stretched out his hands to Aurelian and Victor:
"Mr. Congressman, and Princess Aurelian."
"Are you interested in visiting that great academy with us?"
