Chapter 30 The Disturbing Routine
Thanks to the open atmosphere of the Silver Eagle Federation, this is the country with the most free thoughts, and it is also the country with the weakest power of the Church of the Supreme God.
With its well-developed maritime trade, abundant islands and environment, it has been a gathering place for magicians since ancient times. Although there is no unified magic union or anything in the entire continent, several of the top mage organizations in the continent have their headquarters here.
Ashford School of Magic is such a magic academy jointly founded by the Crimson Tower, the Forest Cabin, the Moonlight Tower, the Crown of Wisdom and other famous mage towers in the mainland, it is famous for its long history, abundant resources, and strong faculty. Historically, this academy has produced fifty-six archmages, of which eleven are recipients of the wizarding world's highest honor, the Wizard's Crown.
Lucius had been in Ashford Academy of Magic for four years, and he was quite talented in magic, but he could have walked out of the academy and become a full-fledged magician two years ago. But for well-known reasons, he chose to hide his edge and still study in this school like an ordinary student.
Although there is a mother of the sixth knight of the empire, in fact, neither Lucius nor Nanali siblings have inherited their mother's excellent knightly talent! On the contrary, with poor physical strength, weak stamina, a slender body, and sluggish motor nerves, Lucius is a weak mess in terms of body, which is simply the opposite of his mother.
Luckily, Lucius had a great brain and a good talent for magic. And for magicians, physical fitness is not a talent needed on the path of magic.
However, even so, the path of magic is not easy! Mastering magic requires talent, but it takes quite a long time to become a qualified magician.
Wisdom and qualifications are indispensable for the growth of a mage, but resource support is also an important factor. All kinds of precious stones, gold, silver, and other items that are incomparably precious among mortals, in the eyes of magicians, are just ordinary experimental materials. Often, the materials consumed by an ordinary experiment of a magic apprentice are enough for the total income of a civilian family for a month or even a year.
The high cost of magical materials determines that the path of the mage is destined to be paved with gold. Although Lucius is a prince, his mother, Mariana, the sixth knight, is only a commoner, without the support of a strong maternal family, and as a proton, for various reasons, he has no additional source of income except for a fixed annual annuity.
Therefore, the difficult practical conditions forced Lucius to use his brains and be self-reliant.
And there is no business that can make money faster than gambling. As the prince of the Holy Hyrule Empire of Lucius, it is easy to mix in with the powerful children of the Silver Eagle Federation, and skillfully use various means to earn funds for learning magic from these noisy and wealthy children.
"Haha, these fools of the Silver Eagle Federation are too easy to make money, you have lost to Lucius so many times, and you haven't learned your lesson yet!"
After another party and a handsome sum of gold, Lucius was walking out of a luxurious mansion unhurriedly!
His identity, the classmate who attended the party with him, Jerry from the Plantagenet Federation wealthy merchant family, couldn't help but scream excitedly.
"No, they're not stupid!"
Lucius was not as excited as his friend, but said calmly and calmly: "This is just a game for them, a fun game!" ”
Lucius knew very calmly that the reason why these gentlemen were willing to gamble with him again and again was just because of his identity.
The embarrassing situation of the prince of the Holy Hyrule Empire has long become a well-known joke in the upper class of the Silver Eagle Federation. The Holy Hyrule Empire is the most powerful country in the world, and the imperial royal family is also the existence that stands at the apex of all nobles. An imperial prince, even if it is just a down-and-out prince who has been ignored in the cold, his identity is far from being comparable to other nobles.
Therefore, the real reason why these people enjoy playing this game by taking advantage of the opportunity of gambling to give Lucius, the imperial prince, a kind of charity-like favor, and to give those nobles a hidden pleasure of trampling on those who are on top of them.
If it were a different person, out of the self-esteem of the imperial prince and the dignity of the imperial family, he would never do such a thing that insulted the dignity of the royal family of the Holy Hailar Empire.
But for Lucius, since that night, his mother was attacked and killed, and his sister was blinded, and the siblings were quickly given a cold shoulder, and they were thrown to the Silver Eagle Federation as protons. All kinds of experiences made him no longer have any feelings for the country and the royal family where he was born.
So, the dignity of the royal family? What's what?
"Lucius!"
Just as Lucius and Jerry were about to board the carriage and leave the place, a familiar voice suddenly called out to Lucius.
Lucius was stopped by a young man in a blue and white knight's uniform, standing straight and with a delicate face.
"Repair?"
Lucius recognized the boy's identity at a glance, he was the sister-in-law of the Red Immortal Bird Family, one of the three Grand Dukes of the Silver Eagle Federation, and the next generation of the Silver Eagle Federation's Undead Knight, Hugh Lancelot Lovegood, and his only friend in this country.
"I'm sorry, Lucius, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my promise to take you and Nanali with ......"
The young immortal knight said apologetically, "According to the family's arrangement, I must go to serve in the army......"
The Red Immortal Bird Family is the most powerful of the three principalities of the Silver Eagle Federation, and the Immortal Birds of all generations are the most powerful knights in the Kingdom.
However, the Red Immortal Bird family and the royal family have been married for generations and have a good relationship, and even the Immortal Bird Knight of this generation and the queen of this generation are cousins. So his position is stable, and he has always been a die-hard supporter of the royal family, and Lucius, as a proton, has lived in a circle with the royal children of the Silver Eagle Federation for a long time. So he became friends with the next generation of immortal knights very early.
Lucius couldn't help but be silent about his friend's apologies, not because of regret. Rather, because of the current situation on the continent, since the news that the Emperor of the Holy Hyrule Empire had recovered from his heavy slumber not long ago, the situation between the Holy Hyrule Empire and the Silver Eagle Federation had suddenly become tense. The armies of both countries are moving frequently, and if there is a disagreement, a major war will immediately break out.
"Repair ......"
Just as Lucius looked up, wanting to say something. Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the street ahead, interrupting the silence.
I saw a beautiful girl wearing a long white gauze dress and a wide sunhat, like a deer being chased by a cheetah, running away on the street in a panic.
Behind her, followed by a long stream of people, almost all the people on the street were just chasing her. Even the carriage passing by beside her, after seeing her face, immediately stopped moving forward, and from the window of the carriage stretched out a face of a pig brother with a fascinated face.
"Wow, is this the romantic atmosphere of the Silver Eagle Federation?"
Seeing such an exaggerated scene, Jerry, who also came from the Plantagenet Alliance, which had a relaxed and free atmosphere, couldn't help but grow his mouth and show an incredible look.
Although the Silver Eagle Federation is known for its openness and romantic atmosphere, there is no shortage of romantic people who dare to show their love on the street with flowers in hand. However, it is too exaggerated for people on a street like this to chase a young girl.
However, Jerry's ridicule only lasted for a moment, and when the girl passed by him, and he saw the girl's face in a flash, he suddenly shook violently, as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Beautiful, so beautiful! You are my goddess......"
Jerry, who was originally grinning and rough, instantly seemed to be a different person, his eyes showed tenderness, his mouth muttered to himself, and he couldn't help but follow like those followers.
"Natural charm?"
The Immortal Bird Knight Xiu couldn't help frowning, he also felt a unique attraction from the girl, it was a kind of charm that seemed to be the source of magnetic power, which made people unconsciously focus their eyes on her, and unconsciously attracted by her charm.
However, Xiu is not an ordinary person after all, the bloodline of the Immortal Bird Knight is the golden bloodline at the top of the continent, and a natural charm cannot make him lose his mind.
And Lucius on the other side is the same, although the first moment he saw the girl, the surprise of that moment gave him a shock, but the firm will and strong spiritual power quickly let him get rid of the charm, but stared at the girl with vigilance and cold eyes.
"Miss Christina, Your Majesty has finally found you!"
And just as the girl hurriedly passed past Lucius and the others, suddenly a team of mysterious figures dressed in black stopped the girl.
"Who are you?"
The girl in the sunhat immediately stopped, staring vigilantly at the mysterious man in black who suddenly appeared.
"Please come with us, Miss Christina, Your Majesty has taken a fancy to you and decided that it will be up to you to become the Empress of the Thunder Empire!"
The mysterious man in black said coldly, and surrounded him, seemingly not giving the girl a chance to explain and escape.
“……”
The girl called Christina couldn't help but be a little speechless, she wanted to be humble for a word or two, and said that you better be smart! It's a pity that these robot-like guys, except for the man's orders, won't listen to anyone's explanation at all. It took a lot of effort for her to avoid this group of people last time, before she took advantage of the chaos to escape from the palace of the Thunder Empire.
Who would have thought that the other party would be so persistent, she fled to the Silver Eagle Federation, and these people can still track them all the way!
