Chapter 411: The Night of a Thousand Laws (Page 1/1)

The voice that interrupted Brienne was low and powerful, and every word was like a pebble.

It was Toby, who sat straight, like a vigorous and simple green pine.

In the liberal militia wing with loose military discipline, such a person is not common, let alone after retiring, he is still so strict with himself.

Brienne raised the evaluation of the future deputy head of the mercenary group to another notch.

Strict, self-disciplined, well-organized, not overjoyed by material rewards, and grateful for gratitude, this kind of person can only mix in the semi-regular militia in the empire, and he has not even become a captain, so it can only be said that he has buried talents.

But remembering what Rip said about his background, it all made sense.

Toby is just the son of a country farmer, the most ordinary commoner, and if he wants to get ahead, he can't break that ceiling unless he makes great contributions.

This invisible and intangible, but ubiquitous ceiling, is called Origin.

In the Warhammer world, whether it is the Three Kingdoms of the Far East or the Kislev Empire of Bretonnia, these large human kingdoms are nominally ruled by monarchs, but in reality most of the power and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a few people, whose names are nobles.

Like Lepp, he was born in an aristocratic family, although he has fallen down, but he is still a nobleman, so he can enter the "Cheetah Knights" and become an official in the army.

Slaves, ordinary tenant farmers, freedmen, down-and-out aristocrats, petty aristocrats, great aristocrats, electors, emperors, the gap between each class is as far as the high-ranking professions and the epic powerhouses, unimaginably far away.

Not to mention anything else, just under the feet of this land that can be called the most prosperous and advanced in the old world, the citizen status of "Aldolph" is enough for outsiders to struggle for several lifetimes, just like Brienne's capital hukou in her previous life, it is also a symbol of status.

In addition, she has the impression that even if they are citizens, there are strict rules for their professions.

A butcher's son can only be a butcher, and a shoemaker's son is a shoemaker, and every profession is a family inheritance.

Rigid and severe class rigidity greatly limits the room for ordinary people to rise, and it is clear that Toby is a victim of this system.

But who cares about the voices of these people at the bottom, it just works well for the rulers, the empire is the empire of the emperor, the empire of the electors, and the empire of the nobility, and it has nothing to do with the commoners.

This is the limitation of the times, deep-rooted, not to mention that Brienne is not human now, and even if it is, she can't easily change it.

Fortunately, she crossed over to a race that relies on her fists to speak, otherwise the things she is doing in the tribe now will not know how many people's interests will be touched and how many internal obstacles will be encountered.

Toby is also lucky, he is brave, Repp gave him a chance to choose, he immediately jumped out of the army that values more and more relationships, in addition to wanting to repay Repp, he did not want to seize the opportunity and come out to have some ambitions.

Facts have proved that his choice is correct, and he not only has a higher salary in the mercenary group, but also has a bigger stage to show his abilities.

He is optimistic about the future of the mercenary group and can't wait to show his abilities.

In front of him was the opportunity he had always dreamed of.

Opportunity is for those who are prepared, and he is ready.

"Although there was no trace of Miss Bell during this time, we did find some other anomalies."

He spoke a little slowly.

"Anomalous? Bright Academy? ”

"Yes, it's not just Miss Bell, we found out that there are a lot of mages of different factions around the neighborhood during this time, and...... Many of them are young mage apprentices or first-ring mages. ”

"All eight series?"

Brienne asked a seemingly innocuous question.

"I've counted them, and they've all of them."

The mercenary leader Rep is more cautious.

"Could this be a coincidence?"

"No, it can't be a coincidence."

Brienne replied first.

Her big light blue eyes were radiant, like a pair of sunlit sapphires, and her voice was unconsciously a little higher.

Although the eight magic academies are nominally one school, they do not actually have a good relationship with each other.

Humans are not creatures that are good at magic, and after being in contact with the wind of magic for a long time, it is inevitable that they will be affected by it.

This influence is not only reflected in appearance, but also subtly affects personality and mentality.

Flame mages who study the "Flame Wind" have a personality as wild and fickle as fire, which makes them naturally dislike the "Wind of Death" and feel that the other person is lifeless.

Both the Emerald Academy and the Amber Academy revere nature, but their mages look down on each other, and both believe that the other has set foot in their own realm.

After a long time and more times, this small feud will slowly develop into an incompatible grudge.

Of course, there are some magic academies that will get close to you, but there is absolutely no one who has a good relationship with all the academies.

So the situation that Toby just said is definitely not accidental.

And there is another detail, they see all mages who are just getting started, which is also very abnormal.

You must know that many of the mages at the bottom have just awakened, and they are still children, and without the consent of the mentor, it is absolutely impossible for them to leave their own academy at will and wander outside.

Maybe Toby didn't know there were so many curves inside, but he was still keenly aware that something was wrong.

"Toby, you go on."

Brienne's voice was full of affirmation, and anticipation, and she seemed to have guessed something.

"Yes, I feel that something should have happened in the Academy of Light recently, so I took two people to various places in the city to inquire about the news, and sure enough, I heard that there was a big event about Aldolph recently."

Hearing him say this, not only Brienne and Rep, but even Bavio, who had been staying out of the way, was mobilized, with a curious look on his face.

"The Night of a Thousand Laws is about to be held at the Bright Magic Academy."

"A Thousand Nights?"

Hearing these four words, except for Brienne, the other two were all confused, and even Rep had never heard of this word.

But in the ears of the mercenary, it was like thunder.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, this is the ...... of the Imperial Academy of Magic It's a kind of duel within a mage. ”

Brienne is obviously familiar with this, and although she was not a legal profession in her previous life, she also knows a lot about the most famous PVP game among mage players.

Since the establishment of the Eight Great Magic Academies, as mentioned before, all kinds of frictions have continued, and if you are not careful, they will escalate into armed conflicts.

This not only depleted the strength of the empire, but also further deepened the fear of ordinary people - the battle between mages and mages, especially the high-ranking mages, was no less devastating than war.

What's more important is that they all haunt the city of "Aldolf", and when they fight, they are not to mention destroying the world, at least they are also magical, breaking walls and smashing houses, often injuring innocents.

In order to curb this worsening situation, before everything got out of control, the then emperor, Magnus, personally came forward and set the rule to hold a "Thousand Law Night" every eight years, and all the grievances of the major academies were resolved in the ring.

In addition, no mage can use magic in "Aldolph" to fight, and violators will be considered heretics and handed over directly to the witch hunters.

This is the origin of the "Night of a Thousand Laws".
