Chapter 37: Politics and Love

Because of the strength of his talent, Ray did not choose to use strong magic to be tough with the other party. Instead, he used the backlash of spells and the control of timing to win the duel with only half of the opponent's consumption.

The surrounding students were stunned by the scene in front of them. More than one student felt a wave in his heart.

"So magic can still be used like this."

"The ultimate goal of a fight is to knock down an opponent or even kill them. Therefore, in battle, you must know how to use everything you can use. You're magicians, but even if you win with your fists, you're winning. Remember that only the victors are qualified to write history, and the losers have nothing. I declare this game Ray victorious. As a punishment for the losers, Kyle will be responsible for washing all of his classmates' clothes for the rest of the week. Of course, you can also opt out. But I'm sure you know what the consequences are? ”

Kyle opened his mouth as if to refute something, but he thought about it for a moment and finally didn't say anything, and accepted his punishment in silence. This made Lin Xuangao glance at him, at least this kid was not the kind of incurable dead brain.

"Okay, and everyone went back to the classroom and started meditating. You know, every minute you waste is reducing your chances of becoming a true magician. Want to learn more about magic? Either you can meet my requirements on your own mana accumulation. Either you win a duel every three days. ”

All the students quickly returned to the classroom. Perhaps it was the battle just now that stimulated some of their psychology. All the students were extremely motivated.

"Do you want to rely on them to defeat the Strangers? But it's too slow. Before they can grow up, the strange spirits may have already crossed the Great Wall of Despair. Sasanan was concerned about the students' progress.

"So what, war always has a price. Do you really think that humanity can win this war unscathed? If you want that outcome, you need at least a hundred magicians like me. There is no need for any other army, we can rush to the Permafrost and wipe out all the strangers and the living dead. Of course, there is another way, all the humans put aside their prejudices and form a super coalition army, which can also sweep through the Permafrost. It can only be that this situation is more difficult to achieve than the previous one. Give me a hundred years, and I can cultivate a hundred mages like me, but in another thousand years, it will be absolutely impossible for humans to unite. ”

"But there's always another way. We can't watch the wraiths cross the Wall. How many innocent people are going to die like that. ”

"In fact, that's all we can do. If you can think of anything better, let me know. ”

"I can't think of it, but you can."

"I'm sorry, but I didn't either. And don't you think I've prepared enough for this war? Sassanid I tell you clearly, I will not accompany you through this war. At most, I'll help you fend off the first wave. And then the rest is up to you. Remember, Sasanian, there is no one to rely on forever. When you taste the bitter fruits of failure, you will find that the only thing you can rely on is yourself. So, instead of expecting me to save the world, what you should do is to improve yourself as soon as possible. That way, when war comes, you can at least do your part. ”

Lin Xuan ignored Sasan, who was stunned by his words, and turned around and left by himself. He had realized that he had done a little too much, and had even made Sassanid rely on him. But as he said, there is no way he will stay in this world and fight this war. For him, this is just a new attempt at experience. Eventually, he has to return to his own world and continue his adventure.

The Academy of Magic has entered a whole new phase. All the students are working hard. To Lin Xuan's relief, the difference in status between the students began to blur a little. Lin Xuan even saw that some aristocratic students began to sit with some commoner-born students without any scruples. They may not yet understand what their classmates mean, but at least it's a good sign.

A great war was going on in distant Middle-earth. This wolf-lion war has been going on for months. The northern frontier is located in a harsh climate, and the peoples who have grown up in this environment since ancient times have always been particularly warlike. At the behest of Duke Robert, the eldest son of House Stark, almost all of the nobles of the North raised their swords and swore allegiance to Rob Stark.

Although the number is far inferior to the Lannisters. But the knights of the north are much stronger than the pampered knights of the Lannisters. In just a few months, hundreds of kilometers had been advanced and King's Landing was approaching.

Now in front of the northern army is Yihe. The Frey family has been operating here for hundreds of years. Although there are only two small castles, with the help of the natural danger of Yihe, a strong line of defense has been formed. It's impossible for the Legion of the North to take it without paying a price.

Rob tried to use diplomatic means to resolve the matter. In order to get the support of the Frey family. Rob agreed to marry a Frey's daughter. However, emotions are sometimes uncontrollable. On the way to war, Rob falls in love with Jenny? Westerling, for which he canceled his wedding to the Freys.

This was an out-and-out insult to the aristocracy, and it was at this time that the Lannisters took advantage of the situation and hit it off with Frey. In order to maintain the alliance between the two families, Rob hopes that a side line of the Stark family will marry Frey's daughter instead of him. But his move was too immature in the eyes of the subordinate family. In the shadows he didn't know, there were already some different voices.

He had also hesitated to choose between Jenny and the Freys. Janie had persuaded her to give up on herself, as his actions would most likely anger the Freys. But her move only made Rob more determined to be with him. Eventually, Rob suggested to Frey that one of his distant nephews marry his daughter.

Frey agreed to his suggestion. and promised that the wedding would go ahead as planned. Rob returned to his camp without suspicion, preparing for the wedding wholeheartedly.

In the plot where Lin Xuan was involved, Rob already knew that Sassanid and Arya had escaped from King's Landing unharmed. So it didn't happen, Caitlin's idiotic attempt to trade Jaime for her own daughter. As the eldest son of the Lannisters, Jaime still plays a pivotal role even if the Kingsguard is not able to inherit the family business. Rob has this trump card in his hand, so he is not too worried. It's just a pity that Rob is so sharp militarily and how dull he is politically.
