Great Nobleman

"Does the young master want to form a mage group?"

After seeing off visiting Chris and Senior Melcher, Catherine asked Brand such a question.

Hearing Catherine's words, Brand smiled and rubbed her head.

After seeing the grand master Holland leading the charge of the knights in the chaotic area, Brand had a certain yearning for the so-called "advanced military armed force"!

The Holland family is a knight family, and it would be no problem to help him form a knight order, but Brand is not a knight.

——Compared to the Knights, he wants the Mage Group more!

This time, it was Brand's "attempt" to ask Senior Melcher to help him recruit mages.

He really wants to form a mage group, but the mage group is not so easy to form.

A standard mage group, its members are at least formal mages.

And official mages are not so easy to recruit, not to mention how many official mages have not yet joined the force.

What he can give them here, apart from magic gold coins, is only the inheritance of "direct access to the magister".

The attraction is really limited!

Brand let Melche-senpai try with the mentality that he could recruit as many as he could.

In addition, Brand also recognized Senior Melcher's focus on the students of the Mage Academy.

——They are all official mages in the future.

...

Fighting in the Chaos Zone is in full swing these days.

The Kerion Kingdom and the bandit forces have all left the stage!

Only the flags of the Kaya Empire and the Caesar Empire can be seen on the main battlefield!

The two sides have had several confrontations in several places in the chaotic zone!

Although the Kaya Empire had an advantage by virtue of the number of legions at the beginning.

However, with the Caesar Empire's increase in troops, the two sides quickly came to a stalemate again.

——This is an ending that neither side wants to see!

The pioneering war is imminent, and the Kaya Empire does not want to waste too much energy here.

On the side of the Caesar Empire, the troops of the Moon Empire are already eyeing the border between the two countries!

They also don't want to drag the Kaya Empire here all the time. If the Munn Empire really comes to fight, then they will have to fight on two fronts!

In this context, the diplomatic departments of both sides began to move around frequently!

The "timing" for negotiations is taking shape!

Compared with the chaotic zone with complicated situation.

Fort Hollander is relatively flat.

Yersin has been busy expanding his "pro-guard" these days because he has made a fortune in the chaotic zone.

On Brand's side, while reading books and growing flowers, with the help of meditation potions, the speed of his spiritual power growth has not slowed down at all.

——He successfully became a senior mage apprentice.

After becoming a senior mage apprentice, in addition to having a higher upper limit of magic power, there is also an extra senior mage apprentice exclusive:

The Core of the Mage!

The mage's core is not like the magic space and spiritual space of the first two realms, which can directly affect the strength of the mage's apprentice.

The function of the mage core is to make the mage apprentice "grow" in the direction of "mage"!

At the stage of a senior mage apprentice, the mage apprentice will gradually shed his "mortal body" and move his body closer to the "mage"!

After becoming a senior mage apprentice, Brand felt that his body was slowly changing every moment.

This change is somewhat difficult to describe.

Judging from some external manifestations, it seems that the senses have been expanded.

Originally looking at a stream, it was just a stream, but now Brand could faintly see some "creatures" that were having fun in it.

After looking through the relevant books of official mages, Brand realized that those "creatures" were actually "elements".

——He is gradually possessing real "elemental perception".

And that's just one of the changes!

...

With the passage of time, the more than two-month break of the Imperial Royal Masters Academy gradually came to an end, and the day of the start of school was approaching.

Under the influence of various things, Brand returned to the academy a few days earlier than last semester.

At noon that day, a carriage drove slowly to the gate of the slightly noisy Imperial Academy of Magic.

After the carriage stopped, Brand, dressed in black aristocratic attire, slowly got out of the carriage. After talking to the driver, he started walking towards the gate of the academy.

This time Brand came to the academy in a calm mood, not as anxious as the first time, nor as depressed as the second time.

——Everything is on the right track, he just needs to keep going.

This is Brand's third semester at the Master's Academy.

Now that he has entered the second grade, a new batch of first-year freshmen have begun to go through the admission procedures.

At this time, quite a few parents and relatives were lining up with the new students who came to enroll, waiting for registration outside the gate of the Master Academy.

There is a security circle covering the entire academy in the Mage Academy. If you enter without registration, the security circle will directly regard you as an intruder.

So a year ago, Master Holland took Brand in the same way, waiting here for the queue to move forward slowly.

More than a hundred years ago, there used to be a "noble passage" here, which was specially set up for the admission of noble descendants.

However, it was later canceled by the dean of a certain session.

Now even the descendants of nobles have to queue up to register one by one.

This highlights the "equality of starting point" among students that the college advocates.

Although limited by family conditions, "inequality" among students has always existed.

However, the deans of past dynasties have never stopped the idea of ​​"change".

They have indeed achieved a lot of results.

In the current academy, commoner students can talk with noble descendants on an equal footing, and through their own efforts, they can become more powerful mages, gain more people's respect, earn more wealth, and have a better life.

Such a college atmosphere has allowed more and more civilian students to study hard and become more powerful mages.

As more and more commoner students became full-fledged mages, the power of the empire was further strengthened.

Because there are very few people with mage talent, these civilians will not affect the rule of the nobles after becoming mages, but will increase their interests.

——Everyone is happy to see the success!

This is also the reason why the imperial family and the imperial nobles are willing to allocate funds to the academy and to decentralize the academy.

——The college's teaching philosophy and their interests have reached an agreement in this "short hundred years".

But this balance is actually fragile. One day, the empire finds a more "convenient" way to manipulate elements, or when it no longer needs more mages.

This balance will be broken!

Thinking of this, Brand sighed a little.

Not sad for the academy or anything.

The new balance may not necessarily be worse than the present, but it may also be better, depending on those in power.

Brand sighed because his body was growing towards a "mage", and his life span was gradually widening from that of ordinary people.

He clearly felt that this change had somehow affected the way he saw things.

Originally, when looking at the past at a glance, I would only think of the changes in the past few months or years or the next few months or years.

But looking at the past now, he subconsciously began to think about the changes in ten years, decades or even hundreds of years.

This feeling made him a little uncomfortable.

But it will affect him until the change is made.

——This is the body's reminder to him.

——He is no longer "ordinary".
