Mage with knife

"Go away, you, a rough warrior, have what qualifications do you have to criticize a great magician?" The little girl was unhappy and reprimanded the big black Taita directly without caring about the face of the big black man.

"Huh!" Taita just snorted in protest, and then... took a few steps back very wisely.

It seems that warriors in this world have a natural respect for magicians. Even intermediate warriors like Uncle Taita...

"May I have your name?"

"Dick, what about you?"

"Alina! You also went to the royal capital to study? A warrior or a magician?"

"I really want to become a magician. I wonder if I have the magic qualifications?"

"Indeed, the qualifications for magicians are very rare. When I was five years old, I discovered that I had the talent of a wind magician. My mental power and magic affinity are both average talents..."

It seems that this little girl's family belongs to a noble family. Otherwise, how could she have tested her magician qualifications?

Dick didn't know why this little girl was so chatty with him. Didn't she look down on soldiers? Besides, Dick's current dress was so tacky... Shouldn't children of aristocratic backgrounds look down on a country bumpkin like him?

?

"Alina, you can learn magic at home, why do you have to go to the royal capital?"

"You idiot, you don't understand. Magic techniques and spells above level four are only available in the royal capital. I am a genius and will definitely become an intermediate magician."

Oh, it seems that the monopoly level of magic is higher. Local nobles have the inherited skills and secrets of intermediate knights, and it is okay to train direct warriors. It is not possible for magicians above the intermediate level. It is understandable, otherwise, the royal family still has

What is the dominant advantage?

"Didn't you say it's free? Why do you need so much tuition?" Dick was depressed. The tuition fee for the Royal Capital Magic Academy is 10,000 gold coins a year. The annual income of Xinning Town can only leave a dozen at most.

Gold coins are good.

"Idiot, the first to third levels of magic skills and secrets are taught for free. Of course, the tuition fee must be paid. Otherwise, what will the magic instructor do for a living?"

That's true! Those who can be magic tutors are very expensive, how can they work for free?

Well, the so-called free warrior school in the capital also requires tuition. Although it is not as expensive as the magic academy, you still have to pay three thousand gold coins a year.

"Then if commoners don't have money, won't they be unable to learn magic and warrior skills in the royal capital?" Dick asked unwillingly. The nobles have money, but after all, the children of the nobles are in the minority.

"There are still many civilians in the Royal Capital Magic Academy, but they have no money? It's easy! Sign a loan contract with the royal family."

Come on! Dick understands that if ordinary people without money want to go to an academy to learn magic and warrior skills, there must be a price for the loan. I guess they still have to be loyal, sell themselves out, and so on.

Dick looked helplessly at Tita a few meters away. Surprisingly, Tita gave Dick a reassuring look. Huh? This uncle Tita is still a rich man? Well, he is an intermediate warrior after all, and he should have some small treasury.

Bar.

"You little bumpkin, I know you have no money. How about that? How about I help you with your tuition?"

"What are you doing? Alina, why do you want me to be loyal to you in the future?"

"Isn't it possible? This girl likes you. In the future, you will be my knight's squire. Why am I wronging you?"

You stinky woman, she clearly doesn’t believe she has the talent of a magician. Whether it’s a warrior or a knight in this world, ninety-nine percent of their destiny is to be a servant of a noble or a magician. Or... be a bandit? For example, that bandit leader

Is it for a fourth-level warrior?

In the warrior school of the royal capital, even if you are a noble child or a wealthy person, once you reach the fourth level warrior level, you will face a new choice. You can either be loyal to the royal family or submit to a certain noble (return to the family). Otherwise, the royal warrior skills above the intermediate level

There is no place to look for Dharma. It is said that the warriors of the royal family are more powerful in practicing kung fu and have a better chance of advancing to higher level warriors.

York leads five fourth-level warriors (I don’t know why, Dick’s mother is not a warrior of the Baron House), but why doesn’t he have a fifth-level warrior? It’s probably because the warriors from the Baron family are not very good at practicing martial arts.

Of course, most of the students in the warrior school in the royal capital will choose to be loyal to the royal family. After all, the conditions offered by the local nobles cannot be better than those of the royal family. Students of the warrior school with good qualifications and great potential are even given titles by the royal family.

It is possible; the best treatment that local nobles can give to warriors is like that of Sinclair. Having a knight leader is the best treatment.

"Can't I become a high-level warrior?" Dick looked unconvinced.

"Haha..." Alina laughed until her stomach hurt.

"Huh!" Dick was very depressed. The Kingdom of Yan has a population of hundreds of millions, and there is only one high-level warrior in total. It is extremely difficult, "I want to be a magician!"

"The Royal Capital Academy of Magic does not accept everyone. You must have at least an average level of mental power and elemental affinity. Otherwise, you can only practice at home, haha!"

And what about this? That’s right, isn’t the baron of Blackstone Castle a second-level magician who practices in his own barony. It is said that the baron is already over sixty years old and does not have much potential for magic practice.

It is impossible to advance to the level of intermediate magician in this life.

Whether you are practicing magic or cultivating fighting spirit as a warrior, striving for social status is one aspect; the most important aspect is to increase your lifespan. A magician who is not at the intermediate level cannot extend his life for a hundred years, and his mental and physical health can no longer be extended.

Well, at most they can live ten years longer than ordinary people.

Everything depends on one's training qualifications, and the same goes for warrior fighting spirit. You don't need to be a high-level warrior to practice before the age of fifty. Your potential will be exhausted, and there will be no hope in this life. No matter how strong a warrior's combat effectiveness is and how good his physique is, he will generally be better than an ordinary person.

It’s just about ten more years of life.

How long can ordinary people live? It is remarkable that the poor people in Xinning Town can live to be sixty years old. Rich people with sufficient nutrition can live to be eighty years old.

There are too few qualified practitioners. Even if they are fourth-level magicians, there are no more than twenty in the entire Dayan Kingdom.

Theoretically, this Alina's mental power and elemental affinity have reached the intermediate level, so she is indeed a super qualified talent, a perfect candidate for a future intermediate magician.

"Young man, your warrior training talent is also pretty good!"

Huh? Is there anyone else behind this carriage?

"Grandpa Larson, how do you know?" Alina asked curiously.

"Because, this kid's fighting spirit is the same as mine, both of the fire element." As he spoke, the door panel at the back of the carriage opened, and an old man with a white beard appeared.

"Have I practiced fighting spirit?" Dick looked confused. Why didn't I know?

"Your basic internal strength of fighting qi is very pure, and your skills should be very advanced. Otherwise, it would be impossible to practice warrior fighting qi before you are ten years old." Larson looked at Dick with a smile.

"Senior!" Taita, who was a few meters behind and riding the mule assigned by the caravan, became nervous.

"Don't worry, advanced fighting qi cultivation techniques almost all require special bloodline or special physique. Besides, I am an old man, why are you worried about me stealing this kid's technique? Haha!"

Larson said with a smile.

"Uncle Taita, have I practiced warrior skills?" Dick asked curiously.

"Probably...right." Taita didn't know what to say.

"Is it the warrior kung fu of the Baron family?" Dick asked curiously. Doesn't it mean that knights can't teach kung fu in private without the permission of the 'master'?

"Tch!" Taita sneered.
