Chapter Fifty-Four: One Thing Descends One Thing
As the squad leader, Ista reports to Shata almost every day to see what Shata has to say. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but since Ista lives with Alice, she hasn't had a chance to report to Sata's.
Aside from classes and assessments, Sata didn't have much to tell Ista to do on weekdays, so Sata didn't care about it at first. Sata plans to give a Q&A class to students on December 9 to answer questions from students who have questions but are too embarrassed to come to Sata.
On December 8, after breakfast, Shatta did not see Ista. She thought that Ista might not come back today, so she took the initiative to go to Ista's dormitory to find her. Shata didn't know about Ista changing dorms, so she pounced on it as a matter of course.
After a brief thought, she thought that Ista should have gone to Alice, so she went straight to Mel and Alice's dormitory. When Sata knocked on the door, Erin was hesitant, not knowing how to respond to Bifuer's words.
Sata's arrival caused everyone in the living room to stand up and go to the door to greet them. When she saw Erin and Lulu in the crowd, she frowned, put aside the search for Ista for the time being, and walked directly in front of the two.
"You two seem to be idle."
Sata folded her hands over her chest, no smile on her face.
"I ran to someone else's dormitory early in the morning, and it seems that you have thoroughly learned the fire structure, and you can't wait to show it in front of your classmates. Then I'll give you a chance, tomorrow I'm going to have a Q&A class in the second theory building, and the two of you will give a demonstration in front of your classmates to those who haven't learned the structure of firing yet. ”
Without giving the two of them a chance to talk back, Shata turned around and went straight to Maier and asked him unceremoniously.
"Is Ista here?"
"Uh...... ......," Myer smiled awkwardly, "Levist-san is upstairs and resting with Alice. ”
"Rest?" Shata's chin lifted slightly, "Rest early in the morning?" ”
Bifuel knew Shata's character, and she would definitely be angry if Shata knew about the crowd drinking and playing cards. So without waiting for Maier to reply, he replied with a smile.
"That's right, Mentor Elite. Yesterday we had a study meeting in the dormitory of Tryton and Willand, and Alice and Levist practiced late-"
"They practice late, what about you?"
However, before Beavor could finish his sentence, Sata's questioning came again.
"Ah...... This ......"
Beafure dodged his gaze, not knowing how to make it down. Fortunately, by this time, Maier had already thought of a countermeasure, and he immediately stepped forward and said to Shata.
"Elite Mentor, I've already practiced the ignition structure."
Shata just glanced at him faintly, not showing the slightest hint of surprise.
"As a 'Mistress of Maier', he learned the structure of fire in just one week. However, I think that with the comprehension of 'Lord Myer', it should not only be as simple as learning, but also make enough optimization in the structure, right? ”
Sata, who is a Ryding magician and class tutor, uses the title of "Adult" to Mel twice in a row, still in front of everyone, which is obviously not a sign of kindness. This shows that she has seen through Maier's careful thinking, and knows that what Maier said before that the so-called "only some infrastructure" is false, and also knows that he is now trying to divert his attention with the matter of learning to fire the structure. In this way, she wants to tell Mel that she is not a fool and that she should not be clever in front of her.
Maier was shocked by Shata's words, but Shata didn't continue, but just put her hand on his shoulder, pulled him in front of him, and whispered in his ear.
"Be honest, only honest people will not be afraid."
Then she gently pushed Mel aside, forced everyone back with her eyes, and walked up the stairs. After reaching the second floor, Shata asked casually with her back to the people downstairs.
"Which is Alice's room?"
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Maier could only answer truthfully.
"It's the room on the right."
After getting the answer, Shata walked directly to the door of Alice's room and knocked lightly. Alice, who had no idea what was going on outside, lazily replied, thinking it was Maier, and said "Come in." So Sata pushed open the door and went in, closing it with her hand.
Within seconds, Alice's panicked screams could be heard from the room. Mel said "sorry" in his heart and tried to go up to check on the situation, but was dragged by Bifuer.
"Hey, Mel, Mentor Elite just called you 'Your Excellency'...... Could it be that you already have territory? Or do you already have a formal position in the Mage's Guild? ”
The only people who can be called "adults" by the Ryting magicians are lords and officials among the Leting people, and the others are not even qualified to be made such jokes. Myer knew that he could not hide it anymore, so he could only reply.
"I have territory."
Mel didn't dare to pretend to be an official of the Wizards' Guild, and if Beafort went to investigate Myer's identity on a whim, he would immediately find out that Mel was lying, so Mel could only admit that he had territory.
"Isn't it...... I didn't expect you to be a young guy! The surprise in Bilfuer's heart was overflowing, "Although I already guessed that you had a bit of a background when I knew that you had four fiancées, I really didn't expect you to have a territory. ”
The significance of the territory to the nobility is self-evident, and the Rytin Magicians are the noble class among the Leyting people, so the Ryting Magicians are eager to have their own territory. Even if there is only one small village with only a few dozen people in the village, the Leyting mages who have been granted a territory will feel that they are a level above their counterparts who do not have a territory. Because only in this way can they be considered nobles in the true sense of the word, otherwise they just have an empty title of nobility.
The difference between the nobles who have a territory and the nobles who do not have a territory is like a cloud of mud. No matter how strong the nobles without a territory are, they can only work for those nobles who have a territory and act according to the faces of others.
The best examples of this are the Offitt and the Namiques, who are financially powerful enough, but because they have no territory, they can only work under the Cornate family and become vassals of the Cornate family. They have great influence in the territory of the Cornate family, and they are seen by others as infinitely beautiful, but in fact they are just working boys of the Cornate family, and they have to look at the face of the Cornate family in everything.
In order to control these landless vassals, the Kernat family tried every means to prevent them from gaining territory. The Offitt family and the Namix family have a lot of grievances about this, but there is nothing they can do. Therefore, they can only spill their resentment on their subordinates, constantly emphasizing their noble bloodline, and in this way balance the dissatisfaction in their hearts.
According to the laws enacted by the Leiding Wizards' Guild, lords can do whatever they want within their realm, whether it is killing people for no reason, confiscating other people's property without reason, or preparing a rebellion in the open. Of course, if a lord is really planning a rebellion in the open, he will be the iron hooves of the counterinsurgency army.
Lords who submit to other lieges, or who are directly subordinate to the Mage's Guild, will be protected by the overlord. This protection was not only for the realm, but also for the lord himself. If the subject party is humiliated, the suzerainty will unconditionally find a place for it, and even go so far as to start a war for it.
Of course, in reality, this protection is not really "unconditional". The subject party must regularly hand over resources to the suzerain, and if the suzerain's side is not satisfied with the resources handed in, they can directly abandon the subject side, or even declare war on it on this ground. However, generally speaking, the suzerain's side will not push the subjugating side too hard, so as not to push the subjugating side into the camp hostile to him.
It is worth mentioning that the laws of the Leiding Wizards Association are higher in enforcement than the rules of the Leiding Wizards' Duel. In order to protect those who have a territory for the Leyting mage, each Wizard Guild has a law that "the lord has the right not to accept a duel", so that those who have a weak individual but have a territory will not lose the territory because of "being dueled".
All in all, there are many benefits to being a lord under the Mage's Guild system. After Mel admits that he has a territory, Byfore is a little jealous, but there is more of an element of envy.
However, Mair is not a lord under the Wizards' Guild system, and does not enjoy these rights at all. If the Brett Wizards' Guild finds out, he will most likely be deported, and hundreds of Wettin Mages will be approached for a duel on the way out.
In order to prevent the news from spreading in the Leting-Saktin School of Magic, Maier said that the family had deliberately concealed his status as a lord before sending him in, and that he would be very embarrassed if the matter was exposed. Beavor immediately said that he would not talk about it, and Erin and Lulu made the same assurance.
Alice let out a scream, and her room went silent. After dealing with the three classmates, Mel hurried up to the second floor. As soon as he came to the door, the door opened on its own. Shata stood in the doorway expressionlessly, looked at Maier in front of her coldly, and snorted softly.
"What, worried about your little fiancée?"
Mel swallowed hard and nodded in response to Sata's meaning.
"What are you worried about? I'm your class teacher, not a demon who kills people without blinking, do you think I'm going to eat them? ”
Mel quickly shook his head, and when his head stopped, he took the opportunity to glance into the room, and saw Alice and Ista sitting obediently in front of the bed, their heads hanging like frosted eggplants.
Looks like they've been trained.
Mel said "I'm sorry" again in his heart, and then cautiously asked Sata.
"Mentor Elite, you're not angry, are you?"
"Angry? Why should I be angry? ”
Shata folded her hands in front of her chest and snorted coldly.
"It's just that my students don't study well, they still gather to play cards and drink, and they are drunk and unconscious. How can a trivial matter of this magnitude make me angry? ”
Wow...... She must be very angry right now......
Mel stuck out her tongue in her heart and hastened to reassure Shata.
"Mentor Elite, I promise this is the last time-"
"Why should I believe the words of someone who has lied to me?"
Shata was stunned for a moment after saying this, and suddenly showed a crying and laughing expression.
"It seems like I've wronged you, you haven't told me a lie the whole time, it's just that I have wishful thinking to believe your wordplay. But I can't believe such a person, who knows if you will play word games this time? ”
During their first meeting with Sata, Sata asks Mel what his foundation is, to which Mel replies that "he has learned a few basic magical structures", not "only a few basic magical structures". In other words, Mel did not deny that he could have other magical structures, not lying, but playing word games with Shata.
Just when Mair was completely suppressed by Shata and was completely at a disadvantage, Yanhe was lying on the door, closing his eyes and listening carefully to the movement outside. When Maier didn't know what to say, Yanhe opened his eyes and nodded thoughtfully.
"It's really a thing...... Phew! I wasn't stopped by that guy! ”
After that, she closed her eyes again and listened intently to the movement outside. (To be continued.) )
