Just when Adam and Neam left the mage world to find the most magical dragon in the void born and bred in the dark world, something happened on the continent of the mage world academy.

More than three hundred years is nothing in the eyes of a mage, but in the world of ordinary people, it has been several generations of historical changes.

The original intention of the council's decision to establish the Mage Continent and promote universal education, and Adam's decision to implement the academy system of the Basic Academy, the Intermediate Academy, and the High Academy, was very good, and it did achieve great results.

The promotion rate of the generation rate of apprentices in three hundred years has reached the highest point since the mage world revolution, and in this data is constantly being refreshed by itself, due to the systematic teaching methods and increasingly perfect basic teaching materials, the personal quality of apprentices has also been improved from the uneven teaching mode of the previous tower, and the standard of the elite has been repeatedly raised.

Due to the improvement of the personal quality of the apprentices, the number of apprentices has increased significantly, so even though the academy system has increased the cost of accepting people from the Free Tower, after several coordinations, it has not caused much backlash.

After all, everyone has their own aspirations, even if the education process is based on the idea of the Holy Tower, but under such a huge base, it is inevitable that many ideas will not buy the Holy Tower Tent.

Both sides decided to go with the flow, especially since Neham joined the Santa faction after his promotion, and after the Cataclysm Zone obtained a large amount of Tertiary information, the liberal faction kept a low profile.

These are related to grand strategy, and the mages are concerned about the issues, but outside the mage's field of vision, the subordinate level that they have not cared about is an undercurrent.

The ordinary graduates of the Basic Academy have received the education of advanced ideas and advanced knowledge, which is very different from the original ignorance, they have the ability and knowledge, but they have no power; in the Intermediate Academy, they do not have the talent to become mages, and the mage apprentices who can only graduate in disgrace have no qualifications to enter the upper echelons, except for entering the industries founded by some senior mages to work and earn resources, and their own interests can only be searched downward; and the old nobles, after experiencing the first severe blows, found that the mages no longer paid attention to them, and after silently licking their wounds for a hundred years, with their profound background, their own power has developed rapidly。

These three kinds of people represent the increasingly prosperous and huge academy continent, and they also represent the three voices at the bottom of the mage world.

Ordinary graduates are unwilling to be represented by the descendants of nobles and apprentices in the upper echelons of the greedy vampire corpse vegetarian meal, they think that they have the ability and means, and can best represent the mainstream of the academy continent, the interests of ordinary people, should have a higher, even absolute right to speak on the mainland; the mage apprentices who cannot be promoted feel that mortals are ignorant, and they should replace mages to manage mortals, whether they are mortals or nobles, they should be completely subject to their rule; while the old nobles want to regain their former glory, restore the kingdom principality system, and occupy the highest ruling position under the mages。

When the representatives of these three parties petitioned the Academy City many times without getting a clear result, their relationship became more and more tense and stiff, and bloody conflicts occurred from time to time, but neither the Academy City, the real ruler of the Academy Continent, nor the various academies equivalent to the political, educational and cultural centers, had any opinion on this.

Even if the status of mortals is improving, there is still an insurmountable gap between them and mages, and it is impossible for the immortals to become friends with the short-born species, this is a very real problem, everything that the short-lived species cares about is just a flash in the pan in the eyes of the immortals, but it is just an ant.

Everything that mortals are fighting for is of no value to them, not to mention that perhaps by the time they look down at these ants, the fight may have ended.

Moreover, the mage has been avoiding direct rule over mortals, if direct rule, with the mage's concept of time and long-term vision, if it is decided to start another reform among mortals, this reform will be beneficial in the long run, but at the moment it will harm the interests of most people, and the mage cannot directly increase the life span of mortals, then mortals cannot understand.

So as long as it doesn't interfere with teaching, the mage is at the mercy of everything that mortals do.

Because of this attitude that seems ambiguous to mortals, but in fact is simply indifferent, under the guidance of some people with ulterior motives, the first all-out mortal war is about to break out.

Nicholas V is a graduate of the Palme d'Or Intermediate Court, the peak physical fitness of the Great Knight, and the magical strength of the ordinary mage apprentice level, the reason why he is out of school is because even if he has the assistance of his personal chip and the full support of the original Nicholas Kingdom behind him, there is no possibility of being promoted to a mage.

After several unsuccessful shocks, he decisively left the academy and returned to his family to inherit the family property.

Claiming to be the patriarch of the Nicholas family, all the old nobles already know that he is the new king, the lord of the Nicholas Kingdom, and he has even secretly contacted many ancient royal families and nobles who survived the 'mage catastrophe' three hundred years ago and continue to this day, ready to unite to form an empire, and he himself is a strong contender for the emperor.

The identity of such a person is very important among mortals.

On October 30, the year 329 of the academy continent, Nicholas V, his wife and the mages of the family knights left the Golden Palm City and went to the pigeon city 50,000 kilometers away to meet Spencer VII, another great nobleman who had secretly ascended the throne.

This distance is not very long, according to the current technology of the academy continent, day and night, but Nicholas V and the kingdom think tank felt that this was a perfect opportunity to show force and test the true attitude of the mage, so they gave up the fast mode of transportation and used the most primitive bicycle to walk towards the pigeon city with great fanfare.

What they don't know, however, is that they themselves have been targeted for a long time.

Colin, an ordinary graduate in the Palme d'Or, decided to assassinate Nicholas V.

It didn't matter what grudge they had, Colin had accumulated a considerable fortune in the process of studying in the basic academy, and traded in good magic items, and at the most critical moment, a mysterious person found him, gave him some terrifying and extremely vicious magic items, and made a detailed plan for him to clear all obstacles.

Although Colin instinctively sensed that something was wrong, he was ready to send an arrow, and the mysterious man coerced and lured him off all his back, promising to elect him to become the leader of the group if he succeeded.

So Colin decided to take the plunge.
