Chapter 280: The Right to Speak
readx;? The reason why the old magician had to go here to attend this wedding was because the fiancée of Count George's son Andre was none other than Felicia, a former student of the Academy of Magic and now an assistant teacher of the Academy of Magic. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Felicia is a student of the second class of the Academy of Magic, specializing in water magic. According to the agreement reached between the old magician and the Yuss Empire, in addition to the fact that the first batch of students can freely choose their way out after graduation, the subsequent students must serve the Yuss Empire for a period of time after graduating from the academy, which is of course because the magic academy itself was established and operated with the support of the Yuss Empire, which can be regarded as a reward. At the same time, it can also be regarded as a kind of support for the Academy of Magic to the Yus Empire against the increasingly powerful Holy See, because the Holy See is hostile to atheists like magicians, and this can be regarded as leaving a way for the future of magicians, otherwise one day when the Holy See rules the continent, magicians may be hunted down because of their faith.
According to the agreement, the graduating students mainly serve in the imperial military, in addition to two other directions, one is to join the archmage Jones to become an alchemist, which is equivalent to providing logistics services for the imperial military in disguise, and the other is to continue to stay in the Academy of Magic to engage in teaching and train more magicians.
As a girl, especially a beautiful girl, it is obviously not particularly suitable to join an army full of men, so Felicia offered to stay in school and work as a teaching assistant after graduation, and the old magician gladly accepted. After that, Felicia worked diligently and dutifully in the position of assistant teacher, and was also recognized by the old magician. And Felicia and Andrei's relationship was determined after returning from the archaeological investigation, as Felicia's boyfriend, although Andrei does not often appear on the campus of the Academy of Magic, but he still occasionally comes to find Felicia, over time, the old magician also knows about Andrei's existence, although he does not like the son of a noble family very much, but Andrei is from a famous family, dignified, and an officer of the Guards Legion, no matter from which point of view, the old magician can not be picky except for his own preferences.
And the old magician knew that although the two of them seemed to be a pair of golden boys and girls on the surface, in fact, the door was not right, and Count George was probably forced to agree to this marriage, of course, the specific reason The old magician could not speculate. But after all, Felicia has the identity of a magician, and now the Yus Empire attaches special importance to magicians, especially the magic academy represented by the old magician, which adds a lot to Felicia's identity, and this time Count George came forward to invite the old magician to the wedding.
On the day of the wedding celebration, Count George, who was the man, was probably a high-ranking guest, many of whom were even big figures in the political arena, but the woman was pitiful, Felicia's parents were just a small businessman who couldn't get on the table, neither a title nor an official position, and it was estimated that the people he knew were either selling vegetables or playing soy sauce. Of course, this is Felicia's parents, Felicia herself is slightly better, her identity is a magician, and the most noble person in her close to her is undoubtedly the dean of the Academy of Magic, Fama X, although the old magician does not have a knighthood, but he doesn't care about this, otherwise Emperor Yus the Great will make him an earl in minutes, and even the old magician is willing to pay, and the marquis is not impossible. Julius the Great has always been very generous to such a person of great use. Therefore, if the old magician can attend the celebration of this wedding on behalf of the woman, it is equivalent to the woman's back relying on the entire magic academy, which will undoubtedly make Felicia's status less humble, and the face of the George family will look much better, of course, if the old magician can still bring the four court magicians and other magicians, it will make the whole ceremony more shining.
Although the old magician doesn't like this kind of entertainment, he still has to give this face, not only does he have to go, but the teachers in the academy must also bring what he can bring, if nothing else, just to support Felicia, and he can't fall into the majesty of the magician. The old magician has been committed to the education of magicians and the promotion of magic for so many years, and the biggest problem encountered is that the number of magicians is too small, but this problem is gradually improving through school education, and the other problem is the status and right of the magician, the status of the magician is there, but the right to speak is too little, and the right to speak is still in the hands of the nobles. People respect and revere magicians, but magicians are old-fashioned in the eyes of people, they like to travel the continent alone, they don't know the world, they like to be mavericks, their ideas are either weird or whimsical, people don't take it seriously. Therefore, the old magician also wants to try to change this status quo, he wants to make people realize that magicians are not just individuals, but also a group, and the old magician even thought about forming an independent magician organization, including magicians all over the world, so that they can become a force to be reckoned with on the continent, and then use the voice of this force to promote the progress and development of magic. But this is only the old magician's ideal, with the resources he has at his disposal, it is still too far from establishing an independent magician organization, if the old magician wants to rebuild the magic academy into an independent organization now, without the Holy See, the Emperor will kill him first, this kind of independent organization with the right to speak is almost intolerable to any ruler, unless the strength of this organization he can't afford at all, and the magic academy with junior and intermediate magicians as the main body is far from being able to make an empire fearful. And without considering the big problem, it can't be solved just by money, feeding a magician is a money-burning thing, alchemists are rich, but there are very few great alchemists, and the alchemy speed is slow, so it can't support a huge organization, unless it's ......
The old magician's eyes not only flashed Allen's shadow, maybe only Allen's alchemy could help him solve the problem of funds, but the number and strength of magicians were another problem, the existing magicians on the continent were basically serving different political forces, and relying on the junior intermediate magicians and magic apprentices of the magic academy alone did not have the strength to support an independent organization.
"Dean, it's cold today, so let's go to the house and rest first. ”
Seeing the old magician standing at the door with an invitation in his hand for a long time, stunned, the student on duty cautiously reminded.
"Oh, I'm fine. ”
The old magician collected his thoughts, agreed, and walked upstairs, but after a few steps up the stairs he stopped again, turned his head and commanded:
"You will write back to Earl George tomorrow and say that I will attend this ceremony as a friend of the woman's family. Also, inform Felicia's assistant teacher to come to my office early tomorrow morning, I have something to ask her for. ”
After speaking, the old magician walked to the office on the second floor with his magic wand, he couldn't rest yet, and the academy still had a lot of things to deal with for him. The New Year is coming soon, and after the New Year, the graduation assessment of the new batch of students is about to begin, and the old magician has to spend a lot of thought and time to tailor an assessment task for everyone, just like the one set for Allen back then.
