After some pleasantries, Charlie began to ask questions that were relevant to him.

"Teacher, Brian said that my father went to investigate clues about my mother's death, do you know that?"

Ron paused and muttered, "Your father also has some care about this matter, and he wants me to take care of you after you come back, mainly to help you resist some pressure from the family, but he didn't disclose exactly where he went, what he was going to do, and how long he was going. ”

As he spoke, Ron smiled, "What's the matter?

Charlie smiled and replied, "With his strength, it's not my turn to worry about him, I'm just curious about what clues he found?"

Ron just smiled.

"Teacher, in fact, I am more worried about my current situation, judging from what happened today, the people of this family are full of malice towards me, in the past, it was because of disgust, but now! Maybe because of interests, the Pavel family has too many things that people can covet, and if it were me, I am afraid it will be difficult to avoid vulgarity. ”

Ron retracted his smile and sighed, "It's very good that you can recognize this!, but this is your family matter, I have no position to interfere, and even if I interfere, it may not have a good effect, your family has recruited many disciples with unique skills, and the Silver Knights left by the Grand Duke are a force to be reckoned with."

As for the predicament in front of you, it first depends on how you choose.

If you just want to be a respected great magician and have the power to protect yourself, it's not difficult, you're already on your way, and you have the connections of the Arcane Ring and mine, anyone who wants to touch you must think carefully about whether they can withstand our wrath. ”

Charlie shook his head and said, "Teacher, it's not that I doubt the arcane ring and your influence, but in my hometown, I heard an old saying that is more vivid.

If a business has 100% profit, the conspirators will take risks, if there is 200% profit, they will defy the law and rules, and if there is 300% profit, they will trample everything.

Including real estate, the Pavel family has assets worth nearly 10 billion, and this income is so large that people are desperate, no matter what gesture I make, they will identify it as the biggest threat, and they used to ignore me because I didn't understand anything, and let others slaughter me, but now the situation is different. ”

"In your hometown? Isn't Haynes your hometown? I grew up here, why haven't I heard this phrase?!" Ron smiled, and then said solemnly: "You have a point, in fact, you have to have a sense of security, and it's very simple, either you have your own power, or you have your own power, and when you become a great magister, you shouldn't have such troubles." With the talent you've shown so far, I'm sure you have that potential. ”

"I'm afraid that some people don't give me the time and space to grow. Charlie sighed, paused, and said, "Teacher, I personally have some plans for mastering my own power, but what do you mean when you say that you have mastering power? Like my father?"

Ron muttered, "Not only that, but the Silver Knights actually have a big flaw, do you know what it is?"

Charlie shook his head.

"Why is it called the Knights? Have you ever wondered where it came from and why?"

Pulled a little, Charlie grabbed some veins, "You mean, they're all made up of knights, right?"

A single class means that it is easy to be targeted, such as the Silver Knights, if they encounter a team composed of a large number of magic archers, they can easily be annihilated in one fell swoop, or even the latter only pay the price of consuming a batch of enchanted arrows.

"Clever!" Ron asked several rhetorical questions in quick succession, "Doesn't your father know the role of knights and magicians?" or does he simply not afford to hire mages, or does he look down on mages?"

Obviously, the answers to these questions are all no, and Charlie, a military layman, can think of a question that his father can definitely think of.

Ron said eloquently: "The reason is very simple, because the nature of the Silver Knights is the city defense army, according to the laws and regulations of the Millennium Empire, the size of the city defense army is limited to less than 500 people, and the reserve is controlled to less than 600 people, and it is stipulated that there is no mage regiment in the team except for the commander.

Moreover, it is not allowed to equip some weapons of mass destruction, such as: magic repeater, magic cannon, standard magic armor, etc., do you know why?"

The reason inside is not difficult to guess, it is nothing more than some emperors' intentions and some precautions for the city lord.

Charlie nodded, "Obviously, out of some caution on the part of His Majesty." ”

"Yes, your father is only an honorary duke, it is said that thirty years ago, during His Majesty's Northern Expedition, your father contributed a huge amount of money and war supplies, to the great pleasure of His Majesty, and received the title of Honorary Duke for Life, a title that cannot be inherited.

A few years ago, there was an anecdote in the market, someone weighed the price of honorary titles at all levels, a lifetime honorary duke is worth about 3 to 500 million gold coins, and a life baron is only 50,000 gold coins, and it is cheaper in remote areas.

So, there are not ten grand dukes like your father, there are eight in the whole empire, and the real grand dukes, at present, there are only three, the Duke of Lancelot, the Duke of Morgan, and the Duke of Wellington. ”

Charlie has never paid attention to the aristocracy of the Wagland continent and does not know much about it.

"What's the connection?"

"Honorary lords generally don't have fiefs, and they don't have substantive official positions, like your family is in charge of Haynes City, not because of this honorary duke, but because Haynes City was developed by the Pavel family from the beginning, developed from a small port, and it belongs to your family's inheritance.

In the Millennial Empire, as long as you receive the official title of count, you can have your own private army, and the duke can even give others the power to create an army, which is different from the city defense army, it is a legal army that is truly recognized by the empire and is not subject to any laws.

Of course, before you can create an army, you must admit that if the country is in danger, the king has the highest priority to requisition your army. ”

"I see. Charlie nodded, and then said with a wry smile: "So, I don't even have the right to form a city defense army now." ”

"Yes, to form a city defense army, you must first have a city that is recognized by the Empire. Not to mention the fact that the city defense army is so far away, for the civilian class, it is not legal to even recruit a follower. Charlie, you should belong to the First Order Commoner by now, right?"

Charlie nodded awkwardly.

Ron smiled: "You can ask your father for a quasi-knight's title, the honorary duke still has the qualification to canonize a knight, in that case, you can recruit at least two servants, if you can pass the test of regular knights, the number of followers can be expanded to five, don't look at the title is 'knight', it is just a title, magicians can also participate in the knightly test." ”

"This power is not enough, is there any way to circumvent these regulations?"

"Yes, there must be, especially for you!" Ron explained as he looked at him mysteriously, seeing that he was confused, "The Arcane Ring has almost wiped out the most potential and powerful young people on the continent.

All you have to do is find the heirs of the corresponding Grand Duke or princess and let them give you the title of 'Pioneer Knight', and you can avoid all legal factors. It can be said that this is a shortcut that belongs to you. ”

Charlie frowned slightly, "Pioneer Knight? What is Pioneer Knight?"

"To put it simply, it is a wave of samurai who opened up territory, and this is how the early thousand-year empire was formed, and a large number of pioneer knights chose to attach themselves to the army commanded by the founding emperor of the empire, and this rule has been followed to this day.

There must be some detached young people among your classmates, and the most difficult problem for you may not be a problem in their eyes.

Otherwise, it will not be easy to obtain the title of pioneer knight through normal channels: you need to join the army, start from the very grassroots, spend more than ten years of hard work, and obtain enough merits, during this time, you cannot die, or even be seriously injured, and then you can redeem this qualification.

So, this is a shortcut that belongs to the Arcane Ring apprentice, and other academies don't have such good resources.

You've been studying there for nearly a year, so you should have made friends like that, right?"

Prince and princess, he does know some, for example, Prince Weining, Princess Elsa, but Charlie and their friendship is not a positive relationship, not to mention let them grant themselves the title of exonerated knight, whether they can give up their past grievances, it is a big question.

Charlie smiled bitterly, "The prince and princess do know some, but the relationship is not very good, is there any other person who can give the title of pioneer knight besides this?"

Ron thought for a moment and said, "The three Grand Dukes mentioned earlier, Archduke Lancelot, Archduke Morgan, and Archduke Wellington, their heirs also possess similar powers. A title lower than the duke, I only know a powerful marquis who also has a similar function, Marquis Sauron, who is responsible for clearing out the boxers in the south all the year round, and is considered a giant in the military.

In addition, we can only look at the royal family again, and several princes, like the Prince of Wales and the Prince of Cavendi, have similar abilities. ”

Hearing Ron pronounce out familiar surnames, Charlie sighed that this world is really small, and it is no wonder that he said that the Arcane Ring almost encompasses the most potential and powerful group of young people in the continent.

The sons of the three Grand Dukes, Charlie all knew.

Leon and Ophelia are undoubtedly the sons of Archduke Lancelot, while Daniel is the elder son of Archduke Morgan, and Peter is the heir of Archduke Wellington.

Marquis Sauron is also very familiar, Jacob, who died at the hands of David, is the son of Marquis Sauron.

The last two princes mentioned, Charlie is familiar with the former, and the thousand siblings are the heirs of the Prince of Wales.

The situation is not too bad.
