"Rollin?" Regner couldn't help but frown when he saw Willis Rollin's name.

Because of the surname Rollin, he thought of a person, and that was Alfred. Because Alfred's full name is Alfred Rollin, the two of them have unexpectedly the same last name. This aroused Regner's suspicions.

Regner wasn't the kind of person who was particularly scheming, but he knew what kind of people to watch out for. And Alfred, who has always made him wonder about different things, is clearly one of them.

According to his investigation, Alfred originally came from the Intelligence Service, an intelligence agency organized by Duke Merlin's private organization. And this institution is actually the predecessor of the Ombudsman in Ralvin's hands.

But because Alfred was born in this institution, Regner's knowledge of Alfred can only be limited to this. It's very difficult to find out what he's done in the intelligence department. In order to avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion, Regner did not continue to investigate.

And this time, after Regner found out about the surname Rollin, he had to think about it. If Alfred had been a spy for Duke Hettor before the war began, and had infiltrated Stoke...... Then it is not difficult to understand why the kings of Héctor and Larvin trusted him.

The loyalty of those members who ran out of the intelligence apparatus cultivated by the king himself was infallible. Therefore, both Hettor and Ravin will give preference to standing behind Alfred.

"But in that case...... Regna then wondered a little more, if Alfred was really that Willis Rollin, then he must have been able to do magic anyway. Because if you don't have any magical talent at all, you won't be able to get in even if the background behind you is big or deep. This was the last fig leaf left by the Stoke Imperial Academy of Magic, and they would never throw away the only piece of cloth they had.

So, could Alfred know magic? No, if he did, even if Annelot couldn't see it, Mel or Mallorit could see it. But they didn't mention it, so it only means that he doesn't know magic.

What happened to Willis Rollin?

Regner frowned, then went on to look for clues.

After a night of research, Regner finally understood what was going on. It turned out that this man named Willis Rollin had undergone a human alchemy experiment with the Stoke Empire before the coup d'état of the Hawke Empire.

Whether or not he was forced or not, Regner now has no way of knowing. Because the information of the Hawke Empire is quite vague, he only knows that in addition to Willis Rollin, there is a girl in her early twenties who participated in this human alchemy experiment.

As a result, neither of them ended well: Willis Rollin was killed in the midst of this alchemical experiment, and disappeared completely. Since that point in time, Regner has not been able to find any information about him from any intelligence records.

The girl died completely in this alchemy experiment. It is also worth mentioning that this girl is an attribute ability, and she is a light breaker.

Once he had figured this out, Regner couldn't wait to ask Malolet. He saw that it was already early in the morning, so he put away all the trivial information, and then prepared to seize the time to rest for two hours.

The next day, Regner found Mallolet again, but to her surprise, she didn't know anything about the man named Willis Rollin. He hadn't even heard of the name!

"Go ask Mel, that old guy might know something. Malolet finally gave her advice.

So Regner had no choice but to go back to Master Mel. And here, Regner unexpectedly bumps into Annelot, not only her, but even Joffrey.

"Good day, Your Royal Highness Prince, if you count it, we haven't seen each other for about a while, what have you been busy with lately?" Regner bowed gracefully. In terms of status, Regner is a lot lower than Joffrey, but since he got used to it with Alexander, Regner has not bothered to pretend to be a grandson to an idiot prince like Joffrey all day long.

Besides, he is the head of the military intelligence department, and he is not necessarily less powerful than Joffrey. He said bluntly, he just had a good father.

"Long time no see. Joffrey replied coldly, and then ignored Regner.

"Alright, stinky boy, come over too. There's something I can't remember on Anne's side, and I still need your help. Mel beckoned to Regner.

Originally, he should not have been involved in the negotiations with the two young men, but Anne Lot had lost a lot of memories because of an attack. And the person who usually walks closest to Anne Lot is Regna, and he came over at this time, and he just happened to be able to help Anne Lot's staff officer.

"Now let's finalize the questions about the admissions policies of your two colleges. Mel looked at Joffrey and said, "Your Royal Highness, what do you think?"

"You've already told me about this before, so it's no surprise that Joffrey has already made a mature plan. Joffrey smiled confidently, then pulled out a piece of parchment from his space pocket.

Mel took it and looked at it, then nodded: "That's good, then you can explain your plan to them." ”

"As you wish. Although Joffrey was a little unhappy about letting himself explain things to Regner, since it was Mel's order, Joffrey had no choice but to obey. In his eyes, Mel and Malloret were difficult to match, and these two old bones could be said to be the last thing Joffrey wanted to provoke in the Hawke Empire.

"To put it simply, we're going to raise the bar for admission to the Academy of Magic. Joffrey replied lightly: "After all, the noble and mysterious power of magic is not something that those lowly people can grasp. ”

Regner smiled disapprerovingly, not expecting Joffrey to thorn at him even when explaining things. But Regner was not offended by this, how much scorn and contempt he had endured back in the slums?

Moreover, Regner also understands that only an idiot cares about the cheap words of words. Since Joffrey would do such a thing in front of Mel, it seems that this thing's brains are really not enough.

"Pay attention to your words, Your Highness the Prince, the 'lowly' fighting spirit also often defeats the 'noble' magic, at least within the empire, they have not dared to compete head-on with the Wind Sword Saint or the Wandering Holy Spear, and they are all practicing Douqi. There is only a difference between strong and weak strength, and there is no distinction between high and low. Mel frowned and lectured Joffrey a lesson.

"......" Joffrey bowed slightly to accept the criticism, and then he continued, "Master Mel is criticizing, but even so, we must raise the threshold for admission to the Academy of Magic. ”

"Allow me to ask why. Anne Lott spoke lightly.

"The reason is simple. Joffrey smiled like a snob: "Money." ”

"Money?"

"That's right. Joffrey nodded: "As we all know, the Empire's finances are on the verge of collapse. This situation not only suffers from our conscientious Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Andrew, but also does not allow our soldiers who are fighting on the front line to receive sufficient logistical support. And the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, how important the logistics supply is, I think I naturally don't need to go into too much detail. ”

"And what does this have to do with the Academy of Magic?" Regner asked.

"Regner, you weren't involved in the construction of the academy, so you don't know. Joffrey hid the disdain and disdain in his eyes, and then explained with a smile: "The empire has spent a huge amount of financial and material resources to build these two magic academies. If we don't recoup these investments in a short period of time, I think Master Andrew will hang himself!"

"So, Your Highness, how are you going to recover it?" asked Regner knowingly.

"Raise the bar for admissions to the Academy of Magic, and make sure that every student who is recruited has a very strong background – and at the very least, a lot of money. "Only in this way can we ensure that the Academy of Magic can get enough out of each student," Joffrey explained. ”

"It sounds like this magic academy is more like a vampire. Regner said with a slight sarcasm.

"No, no, no. Joffrey shook his head: "Regner, you don't know magic, so you don't understand." Learning magic is a very expensive thing in itself. Without enough gold, it is difficult for a magic apprentice to become a qualified mage. You can't just let the empire pay for it in order to train a mage, right? the empire's financial resources can't do it like this at the moment!"

"......" Regner was silent, it wasn't clear to him if Joffrey was right, but at least he was right in one thing, and that was that he didn't know magic. It is said that interlacing is like a mountain, and he doesn't understand magic, so he can't judge many things.

"So, the cost of learning magic can only be borne by the students, and not only that, but we also have to take a commission from it. Joffrey spread his hands, "It's a fair deal, isn't it? we're in charge of teaching magic and making them qualified mages, and they're paying us." If they could get a mage of their own power just by spending money, I think most of the presidents of the Rich Chamber of Commerce would be happy to be slaughtered. And we can also use the income of the Magic Academy to make up for the economic losses of the empire, which is a win-win approach!"

After Joffrey finished speaking, he looked at the other three with confidence, and every reason he gave was discussed by himself and Yumir (the guy who recommended Anne Lot as Joffrey's assistant at the last banquet). Definitely stands up to scrutiny!

"That's a good point. Even Mel has to admit that Joffrey's offer is a very good one. But he couldn't make a decision at this time, because there was still a dean of the Academy of Magic who hadn't spoken yet!

"Anne, you've lost a lot of memories, but what do you think about it?" Mel asked Anne Lot, in a soft tone.

"I also believe that the Empire's Academy of Magic should raise the bar for admissions. Annelot thought for a moment and spoke.
