Charles II, despite the silence of the nobles around him, bowed his head and began to read. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe first newspaper was a recent issue detailing the beginning and end of the "Temple" war. The words on the front page made Charles II frown. At first, he did not believe that this was the truth, but after a closer look at the rest of the newspaper, he found that it turned out to be the work of the "Elson Newspaper".

"Is there really an objective content to this kind of thing?"

Charles II was not stupid, and from the point of view of a ruler, if he were to edit the newspaper himself, he would certainly praise the great cause of the royal family and the stability of the people's lives, and at the same time criticize the darkness of the hostile forces, so it was not surprising to him that the newspaper was more than eighty percent of the content.

However, despite this, a wave of anger still rose in his heart: every issue of the newspaper had a date, and when he flipped through it, he could see when the first issue of the newspaper was published. Regardless of whether the content is true or not, the dignified emperor has not seen it until now, which already means that something is wrong.

"Your Majesty, the statistics on casualties and the course of the war in this newspaper are basically true, and I have verified them through many aspects. Of these, only ..."

Count Du Verden was a little hesitant, Charles II was in a bad mood, and frowned: "Just say it, don't sell it." ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty. The only unreliable news may be about the involvement of Ivota Prime Minister Roddy in the fighting... It says that he single-handedly defeated the two elders of the three guards of the 'Viper Cross', which is obviously an exaggeration and a demonstration of his personal strength..."

Charles II didn't speak, he didn't think about whether Roddy was powerful or not, but looked directly at Duvedon: "What do you mean - the other data in this newspaper is true?"

He had seen what the newspapers had said about Mirno and the "Pit Viper Cross", and last night Mirno had sent an urgent report that he had encountered the enemy and was now in danger and was retreating. If what the newspaper says is true, then Mirno obviously doesn't know how to deal with it now, so he's looking for a reason to get around!

"Your Majesty, the casualties and processes above are basically the same as the answers I have obtained in the past few days when I sent people to investigate. The army of the 'Viper Cross' suffered heavy losses, while the 'Temple' also lost a cardinal, an elder and a large number of soldiers. ”

Du Verdeon exhausted all his efforts to bring down Mirno, but he obviously did not cultivate a special intelligence agency, and these reports were delayed to a certain extent, so that at this time he did not know that the "Temple" was already controlled by Ivta's army.

Charles II belonged to the category of people who were the most behind in the news, and when he knew this, he couldn't help but look around again, and finally understood why those nobles didn't dare to look at him just now - it turned out that except for Du Verden, none of them dared to offend Mirno, so that for so long he was like a deaf and blind man, and he was always blinded!

He wanted to tear up these newspapers right now and scold the nobles to the blood, but reason told him that there was no point in doing so. On the contrary, the solution to this problem is not who is held accountable now, but how to make the whole thing work smoothly and reduce the damage at the same time.

Taking a deep breath, Charles II's expression barely changed, and he said in a low voice: "Let Mirno think of his words and come to me again, the operation to attack Ivota is over, and now everything is focused on restoring order in the territory." ”

This sentence is actually an announcement that Mirno is taking the blame. Although the war was provoked by the "Pit Viper Cross," he could not turn his face with the "Pit Viper Cross" at this time -- the "Rosencruche" already had a tendency to fall to Evta, and he absolutely could not push his opponent out at this time.

Charles II, who tried his best to control his emotions, barely kept his cool until the end of the meeting, but when he returned to the study, he finally couldn't help but smash a teacup. After taking a long breath, he sat back in his armchair and began to read the contents of the newspaper. And on the last edition of the latest issue of "The Age of Karen", a piece of news made him feel that something was wrong the more he watched it.

"The Everta Civil Service Exam... Regardless of your background, as long as you pass the exam, you will be eligible to apply for various positions..."

Charles II's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he felt the crisis contained in it, but this mechanism had only appeared in the selection of military personnel in the past, but no one had ever applied it to the departments with real power - the official position in the aristocratic world was not "the able", but "the reliable family background", what this kind of examination that broke the boundaries between commoners and nobles would bring, the emperor of the Cullen Kingdom really couldn't imagine.

While the emperor was wondering about Evta's actions, the eighth issue of "The Age of Cullen" began to be sold in the streets.

After the end of the Battle of the Temple, the circulation of the newspaper was drastically reduced. One is because of the fee, and the other is because there is no need for all-round publicity now. After all, paper is the most sought-after commodity in Ivota at the moment, and even old newspapers are now being bought with copper coins, because they find that paper can barely be reused after soaking in water to wash off the ink, and it can make a lot of money by treating it once it is serious.

This phenomenon is indeed a reflection of the thirst for paper in the southeastern part of the kingdom. But unlike these petty traders who were staring at the profits, by this time "Cullen Times" and various weekly magazines published at the same time had become fashionable books that everyone in high society had to subscribe to. If you don't have the latest issue of a newspaper or magazine in your hand, you're really embarrassed to talk about national affairs with others at aristocratic dinners.

Noble magicians, on the other hand, kept an eye on the recruitment pages of the Magic journal and the Age of Cullen - as for the "Battle of the Temple", these magicians knew that war could not be fought. As the group with the highest IQ in the entire continent, if you can't even see this situation clearly, it is more appropriate to farm.

On the front page, they didn't even want to read the news about the defeat and flight of the Count of Mirno, they basically pouted and flipped through directly, and then carefully read the surprising treatment of the position in Elson City.

"Finally! Finally there is news!

"What's the matter?"

"Hurry up, read quickly!"

In the magic tower of the "Ice Crown" Crohn, an experimental assistant rushed into the laboratory with the newspaper he had just bought, and the exclamation immediately attracted a group of onlookers from the surrounding apprentices.

"Elson Academy of Magic is now looking for magic teachers: all candidates who pass the low-level, intermediate, and high-level magician tests can get the position of 'lecturer' at the Academy of Magic. ”

"Lecturer salary standard: the basic salary is assessed according to the test score, the commission is assessed according to the teaching score, and the bonus is calculated according to the student's examination score at the end of each academic year. The minimum basic salary for low-level lecturers starts at 2 gold coins, and for senior lecturers it starts at 30 gold coins. ”

When they read this, a group of magic apprentices and assistants whispered, because the newspapers had already popularized the concepts of "basic salary", "commission", "performance", "bonus", etc., and they could quickly have an intuitive concept when they read it. For example, a low-level lecturer with a minimum of 2 gold coins a month, after counting commissions, performance and bonuses, it is possible to earn an average of three gold coins or even five gold coins per month in a year.

"How much can Lord Crohn take if he goes?"

Someone couldn't help but ask curiously, they knew that the Karen nobles gave a lot of resources every month. However, the resources are not for them, but for Crohn, who then decides how much the following apprentices and assistants can take. If you put aside the experiment funds and various necessary expenses and simply talk about salary, it is not bad for a low-level mage to have 2 gold coins a month. If you have a lot of channels and can make extra money, you can reach an income of 3 or even more than 5 coins.

So Evta's recruitment didn't sound too attractive, but while they were talking, the assistant with the newspaper continued: "There is also a special note at the back: all mages working in the Academy of Magic will receive magic points equal to the number of gold coins every month!"

"Magic points can be used to rent labs, purchase charged crystals, borrow library books, and at the same time, you can also get the corresponding 'academic level' with the number of accumulated points!

"There is also a note below... A low-level charged hedron only costs 1.5 points - my god... It turns out that there are also mid-level, high-level, and extremely powerful charged crystals!?"

"Huh?"

"Really?!"

The originally cool atmosphere suddenly warmed up, and they gathered around to inquire about the details carefully, but the newspaper had limited space and did not write specific contents, and the magicians suddenly had some thoughts.

"What the hell did Elson do? Mentor Crohn, have they always used low-rank hedrons?"

"It should be like this, and it is said that only low-grade spars are currently open to the public. ”

"The academic level is interesting, does it mean that even if we can't reach the high-level magician, we can still have a higher level through theoretical research and qualifications? If the theory is solid and a few more papers are published, will the low-level magician also be able to use the high-level mage's laboratory for free?"

"Looks like that's really the case!"

"Wouldn't it? Elson really has that many labs?"

"Who knows... But the mere fact that you can buy charging crystals is enough to make a lot of people tempted, right?"

This is indeed true, after experiencing the benefits of "Charged Crystal", the magical world of the Karen Kingdom now knows such a magical hedron energy - but Elson sells too few "Charged Crystals" to the outside world, and many magicians only know its name, which has led to the few "Charged Crystals" on the black market from the original 45 gold coins to 850 gold coins each!

You know, this price is enough to buy a basket of ordinary magic crystals of the same size.

But even so, after various experiments proved the magic of the hedrons, the price has not fallen, but continues to rise, and because of this extreme supply and demand, ordinary laboratory assistants and magicians simply cannot afford it.

And now, as long as you succeed in applying for a job in Elson, you will have the opportunity to own these things that you could only dream about before... The magicians present couldn't help but breathe heavily. (To be continued.) )
