Chapter 181 Mage!
"Do you want to form a mage group?"
After seeing off the visiting Chris and Melcher, Catherine asked Brand this question.
Hearing Catherine's words, Brand smiled and rubbed her head.
After seeing the majestic figure of Mr. Holland leading his knights in the chaotic zone, Brand had a certain yearning for the so-called "high-level military armed force"!
The Holland family is a knight family, and it would be no problem to help him form a knighthood, but Brand is not a knight.
——Compared to the Knights, he wants the Mages more!
This time asking Senior Melcher to help him recruit mages was an "attempt" by Brand.
He really wants to form a mage group, but it is not that easy to form a mage group.
A standard mage group, at least its members are official mage.
And formal mages are not so easy to recruit, not to mention how many formal mages still have not joined the force.
What he can give them here, besides the magic gold coins, is the inheritance of the "direct access to the magister".
The appeal is really limited!
Brand asked Melcher to try with the mentality of recruiting as many as he could.
In addition, Brand also agrees with the fact that Senior Melcher has set her sights on the students of the Mage Academy.
——They are all future official mages.
......
These days, the battle in the chaotic zone is in full swing.
The Kingdom of Crean and the bandit forces have all withdrawn!
Only the flags of the Kaya Empire and the Caesar Empire can be seen on the main battlefield!
The two sides have already had several confrontations in several locations in the chaotic zone!
Although the Kaya Empire had an advantage at the beginning with the number of legions.
However, as the Caesar Empire increased its troops, the two sides soon came to a stalemate again.
——This is an ending that neither party wants to see!
The pioneering war is about to begin, and the Kaya Empire does not want to waste too much energy here.
As for the Caesar Empire, the armies of the Munn Empire are already eyeing the border between the two countries!
They don’t want to keep dragging the Kaya Empire here. If the Munn Empire really comes to attack, then they will have to fight on two fronts!
Under this background, the diplomatic departments of both sides began to move around frequently!
The "timing" for negotiation is gradually taking shape!
Compared to the chaotic area where the situation is complicated.
Hollandburg is a bit bland here.
Because Yersin made a lot of money in the chaotic zone, he is busy expanding his "guards" these days.
As for Brand, while he was reading and growing flowers, with the help of the meditation potion, his mental power did not slow down at all.
——He successfully became a senior mage apprentice.
After becoming a senior mage apprentice, in addition to having a higher magic power limit, there is also an exclusive feature for senior mage apprentices:
The core of the mage!
The core of the mage is not like the magic space and spiritual space of the first two realms, which can directly affect the strength of the mage apprentice.
The function of the Mage Core is to allow the Mage Apprentice to "grow" in the direction of a "Mage"!
At the stage of senior mage apprentice, the mage apprentice will gradually shed his "mortal body" and move his body closer to the direction of a "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, a creek was just a creek, but now Brand could vaguely see some "creatures" having fun in it.
After looking through the books related to formal mages, Brand realized that those "creatures" were actually "elements".
——He is gradually gaining true "elemental perception".
And this is just one of the changes!
...As time goes by, the more than two-month break at the Imperial Royal Mage Academy gradually comes to an end, and the start of school is getting closer.
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 Royal Mage Academy.
After the carriage stopped, Brand, who was dressed in black noble attire, slowly got out of the carriage. After saying a few words to the coachman, he started walking towards the gate of the college.
This time Brand came to the academy in a calmer mood, not as nervous as the first time, nor as depressed as the second time.
——Everything is on track, he just needs to move on.
This is Brand’s third semester at the Mage Academy.
Now that he has entered the second grade, the new batch of first-year students have begun to go through the admission procedures.
At this time, many parents and relatives were lining up in a long line with the new students coming to enroll, waiting for registration outside the gate of the Master Academy.
The Mage Academy has a security circle covering the entire academy. If you enter directly without registration, the security circle will directly treat you as an intruder.
So a year ago, Mr. Holland took Brand like this, waiting here for the queue to move forward slowly.
More than a hundred years ago, there was a "noble passage" here, which was specially set up for the admission of descendants of nobles.
However, it was later canceled by the dean of a certain term.
Now even those who are descendants of nobles have to queue up to register one by one.
This demonstrates the "equality of starting point" among students that the college advocates.
Although limited by family conditions, "inequality" among students has always been prevalent.
However, the deans of the past generations have never stopped thinking about "change".
They have indeed achieved many results.
In today's academy, civilian students can talk to the descendants of nobles on an equal footing, and through their own efforts, they can become more powerful mages, gain the respect of more people, earn more wealth, and have a better life.
Such a college atmosphere allows more and more civilian students to continue to study hard and become more powerful mages.
As more and more civilian students become official mages, the power of the empire has been further enhanced.
Because people with mage talents are extremely rare, these civilians becoming mage will not affect the rule of the nobles, but will increase their interests.
——Everyone is happy to see the results!
This is also the reason why the imperial royal family and the imperial nobles are willing to allocate funds to the college and delegate power to the college.
——The teaching philosophy of the college and their interests have reached an agreement in this "short few hundred years".
But this balance is actually fragile. When one day, the empire finds a more "convenient" way to control the elements, or it no longer needs more mages.
This balance will be broken!
Thinking of this, Brand sighed slightly.
It's not like I'm sad for the academy or anything.
The new balance may not necessarily be worse than now, but it may also be better than now, depending on the people in power.
Brand sighed because his body was growing towards a "mage", and his lifespan was gradually widening the gap between that of ordinary people.
He obviously felt that this change had affected the way he looked at things to a certain extent.
At first glance, I could only think of the changes in the past few months and years or in the next few months and years.
But looking at it now, he subconsciously began to think about the changes in more than ten years, decades, or even centuries.
This feeling made him a little uncomfortable.
But until the change is complete, it will affect him.
——This is the body’s reminder to him.
——He is no longer "ordinary".
