Chapter 22: The Academy of Magic

Although Regner promised to restore everything to its original state, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened last night. But after all, this kind of thing can only be thought about, and if you want to really realize it completely, it is absolutely impossible.

Anne Lott had been a little confused all night last night, and this state even continued directly into the next morning. Until now, Anne Lot didn't understand what had happened last night, how could she be so intimate with that guy?

The girl struggled almost all morning with this question. Regner couldn't help but laugh as he watched the Frost Maiden almost put the omelette on her nose as she ate breakfast. But fortunately, the most important task has been completed, so he is not in a hurry to bring Annelot to her senses. Let her slowly adjust her mentality! I believe she will adapt one day!

"Oh, yes, Annie. Regner asked casually.

"What?!" Probably recalling last night's embarrassing gesture, Anne Lot's face turned pink when she looked up at Regner. But she still looked at him with composure, after all, aura is the most important attribute of the Frost Maiden, and under any circumstances, the girl doesn't want to lose her aura.

"This guy won't say anything strange again, will heh! It doesn't matter what happened last night, but today, if he dares to do that again, see how I clean him up!" The Frost Maiden's eyes narrowed slightly, ready to strike a cryogenic blow at Regner.

Regner looked at the girl's appearance and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. I don't know why, since what happened last night, Regner suddenly felt that the whole world had become a better place. He now thinks that people are smiling at him, so he can't help but grin at him. This made Kuroko and Alberton, who saw him this morning, think that his neurosis had done it again.

Now, with his trademark idiot grin again, Regner grinned at Annelot, "I wanted to ask last night, what do you want those Stoke mages for?"

"Huh?!" Anne Lott was stunned, she didn't expect Regner to ask such a question, hell, why did she think about it?

"Huh?" Regner looked at Annelot's slowly flushed face a little strangely, and couldn't help but be a little strange: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's not much ......" Anne Lott quickly adjusted her mentality, and then said, "This is a matter of the Court Mage Association. ”

"Can you tell me?" Regner asked, although Annelot was a member of the MI and she also served as a magical advisor to the Court Mage Guild, there were some things that Ragner couldn't ask casually. Although it was strange to be holding two hats like this, Regner was unimpressed.

The Court Mage Guild where Annelot can basically be said to be just a name. As for whether she would be Ralvin's placement in the MI through the Court Mage Guild, Regner didn't even think about it, there are only a few people in this world, and you will always trust them completely and unconditionally and unreservedly. Regner had already made a mistake in this matter, so he definitely didn't want to do it a second time.

"It's no secret that if this succeeds, it's only a matter of time before it's made public. Annelot nodded and continued: "As you can see, the Stoke Empire should be weaker than the Hawk Empire in terms of the average number of warriors, but why did the Hawk Empire lose one after another on the battlefield in the previous two years?"

"Of course, there are many reasons. Regner spread his hands and said: "For example, the Stoke Empire has a long history, and in terms of heritage, the perfection of the various institutions and mechanisms of the empire is far from being comparable to the Hawke Empire. And the generals of the Stoke Empire are not mediocre, at least at the moment on the list of the Military Intelligence Department, there are several outstanding generals who pose a great threat to the Hawk Empire. And, of course, there's the lead in magic. ”

"Do you have an opinion on this?" asked Annelot, who seemed to be interested in what she could say, as if a man like Regner, who knew nothing about magic, could say.

"Of course!" Regner nodded smugly, "You've been with Anne for so long, even if it's smoked, I've smoked some magic knowledge, right?"

"Who's been with you for a long time?" said Anello, looking over in particular, and whispered to herself.

Regner didn't hear clearly, he just continued: "Magic has many effects on this world, and even in the military and war realms, it plays a very important role. Not to mention the distance, just look at those magic cannons! Because there were fifty of those magic devices erected on the walls of Haichao City, it forcibly blocked the Hawke Empire's 50,000 troops from giving ten extra days. ”

"And what?" asked Annelot.

"And those low-level mages!" Regner said, "The last time the Boss was deflated by their squad of low-level mages, and to be honest, this mass-produced 'Mobile Fireball Launcher' is really disgusting. In a battle of more than 1,000 people, if there is such a team capable of firing fireballs, the situation of the battle will be very serious!"

"That's right!" added Annelot, "and magic not only has a direct effect on the outcome of war, but it also affects the Empire's transportation, supplies, transportation, and medical care. Although the Stoke Empire's magic transporter is not yet popular, it is at least much more advanced than the Hawke Empire's purely human-horse-drawn transportation method. There are also magic potions, and the healing potions or medical potions used by the Stoke Imperial soldiers after they are injured are very good, and speaking of which, you are not right. ”

"How can I be blamed for this?" Regner felt like he was lying down again.

"You asked Ini to research a potion to heal Erin's appearance. Annie Lott said lightly: "With Ini's talent, if there is this half a year, maybe you can improve the Hawke Empire's military medical agent formula." But because of your affairs, she has not contributed much to the Court Apothecary Association until now. So much so that now the association seems to be considering removing her. ”

"They dare?!" Regner said domineeringly: "Hmph! Those crazy laboratory maniacs may not be able to produce any results after staying in the alchemy laboratory for a few years, so why should a teenage girl like Ini be allowed to come up with results in half a year?!

"Then you can bear to let the soldiers of the Hawke Empire use those inferior medical potions?" Annelot asked rhetorically.

"Of course I can't bear it. "But for me, Erin is more important than that!" Besides, even Inni can't guarantee that the formulation of military medical agents will be significantly improved and optimized within six months. It's just a possibility, I may be sorry for it, but I don't regret it, and I don't plan to change it! Besides, these should be the headaches of those guys in the Pharmacists Guild, so why throw them at Ini?"

"Is Erin really that important to you?" Annelot asked involuntarily as she looked at Regner.

"Of course!" Regner replied without hesitation, "she, and Ini, are as important to me as you are!

"Stupid!" Anne Lott spun, and she whispered, "What crazy things again?!"

"Hey, hey!" Regner smiled happily, and to be honest, when he said such things before, Anne Lott either responded coldly or directly repaired him. As for the expression of shame like today, it has never been seen before. It seems that last night did bring a lot of changes to Annelot. This girl seems to be gradually accepting Regner, and gradually accepting her inner thoughts.

"Alright! get down to business!" Anne Lot's heart was flustered by Regner's eyes, and she could only pull the topic back: "That...... Because of the popularity of magic in the Stoke Empire, this led to the defeat of the Hawk Empire on the battlefield. ”

"Speaking of which, I remember that previous information showed that the large-scale use of magic in the Stoke Empire actually began only a few years ago. Regner reminisced for a moment and said, "Strange to say, at that time, Saron had just become famous on the continent, and then all kinds of strange magic tools were put into use. Could it be that there is a connection between these two things?"

"I don't know about this, gathering intelligence, that's your job. Anne Lot said lightly: "However, you have also heard that these magical achievements come from an institution of the Stoke Empire. ”

"Imperial Academy of Magic?" Regner nodded, "That hell academy is a real headache, I remember it was just a place for magicians to communicate and study magic. But just five years ago, the old immortal king of Kilrohn undertook a massive overhaul and revision of the Imperial Academy of Magic. From that time on, ordinary civilians began to be eligible to enter the Academy of Magic to practice magic. Two or three years later, the first batch of civilian magic academy students graduated and went on the battlefield, and the posture of the Stoke Empire changed from defensive to offensive. ”

"It didn't take long for all kinds of magical achievements to be produced from the Academy of Magic. They were quickly applied to all areas of warfare, and the Hawk Empire had previously been in trouble because of the sudden changes in the Stoke Empire. However, fortunately, His Majesty Ralvin made timely adjustments, and now the situation on the battlefield has gradually improved. Anne Lot added.

"So what?" Regner returned to the original question, "What do you want these low-level mages for?"

Anne Lot smiled: "His Majesty Ralvin thinks that since the Stoke Empire can build such an academy, why can't we do it in the Hawke Empire?"
