After a sacred ceremony at his Welsh mansion, Charles was given the Pioneer Knight's badge with the right to conquer territory.

Crafted from obsidian iron, a metal that is said to be indestructible, the emblem is in the shape of a shield and is engraved on a rare double-sided surface, with a griffin with teeth and claws on the front to symbolize bravery and perseverance, and a delicately shaped cross sword engraved on the back, implying a subtle chivalry.

At the same time that Charlie received two badges with different meanings, news came from the Millennium Magic News that Princess Aisha was going to see him.

As soon as they met, Aisha showed a sarcastic smile and said, "You are really a character who can't be idle anywhere, not long after you came to Raphael, you made such a big incident, I have heard your story in the palace!"

Charlie smiled, "Thanks for the compliment." ”

Aisha glared at him, and said: "All along, Qianji has always been a mature and stable impression in the eyes of the elders, and as soon as you came, he subverted some of his images, and even my father was slightly surprised, you are worthy of being the number one gentleman of Henes!"

Charlie smiled: "You imperial capital people have endured for so many years, but you have not been able to expose the pride and prejudice of the Royal Magic Association, I also admire it, that's right! I'm such an upright person, I can't bear it, that guy touches me, count him unlucky." ”

Eating the soft nails silently, Aisha felt a little depressed, it seemed that she and Charlie had a confrontation, except for the first time, and there was a rare time to win.

Aisha snorted lightly, "There's no measurement at all, isn't it a man?"

"Her Royal Highness the princess is well-informed, and must know that I am a real man who is like a fake, so you don't need me to prove it, let's talk about business!"

"If only you remembered the matter. Aisha Feng glanced at him, revealing a worried look, and she said eloquently: "This magic creative competition has invited a total of eight relatively large forces, the four old magic guilds of the empire: the Royal Magic Association, Solomon, the Astar Mage Alliance and the Roland Guild, in addition, there are also academic factions: Arcane Ring and Millennium Academy Alliance, and church forces: Holy Peak Church and Southern United Church.

These eight forces have almost wiped out the main forces outside the Wagland continent, and I am relieved that this is the first time that such an event can have such a big impact, but I am also very scared, afraid that this matter will be messed up. ”

Charlie restrained his smile and said: "You have done a very good job, many people think that your success is only because of the support of the empire's resources, and they can do it, but they don't know that it is not an easy thing to integrate all kinds of resources within two years, and send the two newspapers to every corner of the thousand-year-old empire, and even spread to the wider regions of the mainland, how to make rational use of resources and allocate resources? How to select and employ people? How to build a huge and stable structural system?" It's the most testing of ability, why are you doing what other princes can't? ”

A hint of strange emotion flashed in Aisha's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of confidant, quite grotesque, how magical it was to have this feeling for a man who had once peeked at him in the shower.

She glanced at Charlie in surprise, "Are you really Charlie from a year ago?!Won't you be his twin brother?!When did your vision become so sharp?The people around me, only your perspective is different, it is fair, and there is no natural discrimination against women." ”

Charlie smiled, "Why don't you give me another chance to peek?"

"Get out!" Elsa's face flushed, and she couldn't help but burst out with a foul mouth.

Women are such strange creatures, when she is disgusted, you can't do anything that pleases your eyes, but when she has a good impression of you, even if she is molested, she is only angry on the surface, maybe she is still beautiful in her heart.

Of course, Charlie couldn't guess whether Aisha was really angry or feigned anger at the moment, and he didn't pay attention to her emotions.

After a while, Aisha sighed faintly and said, "Father's request is a bit difficult, I thought it was just a contest between several major magic guilds, but now with the addition of the Arcane Ring and the geniuses of the church, it has suddenly risen to become the top teenager in the entire Wagland Continent, and the competition is much fiercer."

Almost all the forces will go all out, why?

In the political realm, magic and the church have not been at war for many years, but they can't reconcile, and since there is no way to fight, then this kind of civil fight is always possible, right?

From the perspective of education, isn't the Millennium Academy Alliance unaccustomed to the Arcane Ring a long time ago? Why are you a magic temple, and we want to be a lower grade? There is also a confrontation within the Millennium Academy Alliance! The academy of the imperial capital looks down on the academy of the outer territory, and the outer academy looks down on each other, and even less on the arrogance of the imperial academy, will this group of people fight with each other?

From the field of magic guilds, the four major magic guilds have not been ranked, and there are fierce conflicts between them in the development of members, and there have even been many unpleasant incidents of poaching famous mages from each other, and now that they have the opportunity and stage to compete, do they all want to win?

In the face of such a complicated situation, do you still have confidence?"

Zha Li thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I think so! You don't have to pay too much attention to His Majesty's request, I think his purpose is just to stimulate you, let you go all out, and tap your maximum potential."

In fact, if you can really stir up the competitiveness of all the forces and get everyone to go all out, you will succeed, and this is a successful magic creative contest!

Sometimes competition is also a way to resolve contradictions and conflicts, which is much better than using war to solve them.

Of course, it is impossible to resolve the conflict between magic and the Church, two forces that represent freedom and exploration, and tyranny and foolishness, who are fundamentally opposed from each other.

However, until the eventual war takes place, these competitions are advantageous for both sides, and there is at least a platform for communication. ”

After listening to Charlie's explanation, Aisha's brows stretched and she chuckled, "You make a lot of sense, and your thinking level is very high!"

Charlie shrugged and said, "I'm just curious why even churches are interested in participating in this kind of competition? Isn't this a magical idea? What does it have to do with those believers?"

Aisha muttered: "You should know that the church and magic have always been two diametrically opposed forces, with you without me, with me without you, and the country is balanced in the middle, and the thousand-year-old empire took the opportunity to grow and grow after the last magic holy war, when both were defeated."

As you said, magic and the church, one represents freedom and exploration, and the other represents tyranny and foolishness, and the former is undoubtedly a trend.

With the development of magical civilization, the influence of the Church is gradually weakening, the diocese continues to shrink, no one will like their extortionism and immorality, and if the Church does not make changes, those rotten creatures cloaked in the cloak of holiness will be swept into the dustbin of history.

Decades ago, the Church would never have participated in a tournament like this, regardless of whether the wizarding world would join it or not.

I think the change in their attitude may reflect some change in mentality, they are groping for a new balance, it is an attempt, and it is also sending a signal to the outside world. ”

This information was unknown to Charlie, who had lived in Haynes for many years and did not know much about the world inside the diocese.

"Huh!" Charlie looked at her in surprise and said, "Very insightful at a young age!"

For him, Aisha really felt helpless, this guy didn't take his identity seriously, her title of princess made the other party completely unable to have a sense of awe, unlike those sons of dukes and counts, who behaved well, they could only speak normally in front of her, and if they were a little stronger, they could test their inner weakness and restraint;

Aisha habitually couldn't help but retort, "In this regard, you seem to have a sense of superiority, don't you feel very arrogant?"

Charlie said unceremoniously: "The arrogance of capital is actually self-confidence, if you want to compete in intelligence, I am still very confident to take the first place." ”

Aisha flipped through her slender hand, and there was an extra paper material in her hand, she threw the material in Charlie's hand, and said, "Confident Mr. Charlie, then please, this is the title of the competition reported by our millennium magic, you study it first." ”

Charlie was stunned and said: "You are so shameless, you even gave me the title in advance, are you not afraid of destroying the fairness of the game? As the organizer, His Highness's character is really worrying!"

Aisha raised her hand, wanting to knock him on the head, after thinking about it, she felt that she might not be able to beat him, so she glared at him fiercely, "This time the questions are submitted by the eight major forces and the Millennium Magic Newspaper together, and they are gathered into a question bank, and the real test questions will be extracted from the question bank, and the rules are very fair, so you can rest assured that you can study it! Maybe people not only study their own, but also exchange with each other!"

"Oh! ”

"It's as if you're a good character, you're good and you're going to peek at ......," Aisha glared at him.

Charlie smiled and flipped through the materials, and the first question caught him off guard: If a demon wolf and a demon pig mated, what kind of offspring might be produced? Give full play to your imagination and give some interesting answers.

Isn't this just hybridization?!

Charlie was choked up for a moment, pointed to the title, and said for a long time: "Your editor of the Millennium Magic Newspaper is really ahead of its time! Very thoughtful! Very magical realist style!"

Aisha glanced at it, her pretty face was hot, and she said angrily: "That's a fun easter egg question, not the main topic!"
