CHAPTER XXIX

The earldom of the magician can be subsidized by five thousand gold coins every year, and a territory of five thousand square kilometers is in the territory of the empire, which is a very good location, although the imperial capital of Oxim is 3,800 kilometers away, with a third-class city and a population of 200,000. The territory is rich in grain, which Albot has chosen for him.

As a magician, you rarely have the opportunity to go to your own territory, and even if you live in your territory, you don't have time to manage things in your territory, so you generally have two options. Let someone within the family manage it, or someone from the Home Office will be in charge of it. Feleg's territory is very good, in addition to providing a large amount of food every year, Feleg can also get at least a thousand gold in taxes.

Unlike ordinary nobles, the Empire is completely tax-free, much to the blush of many princes and dukes. However, when a mage dies, the realm is reclaimed by the Empire, rather than continuing to be owned by a noble family member.

Feleg didn't know or was interested in how to manage his territory, so he sent the authorization document and badge to the town of Kuca, the Duchy of Deresa, for his parents to decide.

In addition to the annual income of 6,000 gold coins, the empire will also provide magicians with a limited number of elemental crystals, all of which have been refined, and the number varies greatly according to the level of the magician, like Feleg, who can get five elemental crystals of high purity from the empire, which is far better than what his teacher Becca gets.

Ordinary magicians, at the time of the ribbon and certification, are all trainee magicians, and can only get five low-quality elemental ores, and Feleg's situation is more special.

A magic wand, Feleg really couldn't look at it, and casually received a magic robe in the Sky Split, Feleg chose a magic robe printed with Blizzard, but the magic power in it needed to be filled by himself.

A courtyard in Imperial Oxim and a separate magic studio in the Imperial Academy of Magic, which were assigned to Feleg by the Imperial Academy of Magic.

Feleg had never been to the courtyard of the Empire, and the workshop in the Academy of Magic had become his residence. The so-called studio is a small building, located in a small forest, more than five hundred meters away from the nearest studio, this is to facilitate the meditation of magicians, it will be arranged in this way, the magic elements in the space are limited, if several magicians meditate at the same time, no one can get enough magic elements.

In obtaining these things, Feleg learned a lot of things, in addition to some rules of the Empire and the Academy of Magic, he also learned that the magic on the magic robe is very different from the magic scroll.

Due to the great difference in the materials used, the magic imprints on the magic robe cannot be preserved for as long as the magic on the magic scroll, and the magic power inside will continue to flow out, and must be replenished regularly by the magician before it can be used.

The treatment given to magicians by the empire is really very high, far higher than Feleg imagined, in addition to the above, there are also some miscellaneous materials and items, Feleg doesn't know what they are used for.

With high treatment, of course, there will be corresponding responsibilities, the empire will not respect because of respect, nor exactly because of the strength of the magician, for an empire, the number of magicians, in addition to symbolizing strong force, there are many substantive things.

Certified formal magicians have to take time out of their time to communicate and instruct in the military camps of the empire no less than three times a year, and of course, they can also instruct and communicate many times at a time, and complete all the times in a few years or even decades.

As for the opponents, they were assigned by the Imperial Military Department. At present, it is for powerful warriors to increase their experience in fighting with magicians, and it may also be for potential warriors to get more opportunities to exercise and learn in the communication with magicians.

In this kind of exchange and guidance, not magicians have the upper hand, and many of the warriors in the Imperial Army are very powerful. In war, they are likely to encounter mages from enemy countries, so they must have enough experience against the enemy, and this experience can only be gained in battles with mages.

Of course, in such exchanges, most of them are magicians who win, and even if the military department sends them are the elite of the imperial army, it is very difficult to defeat powerful magicians.

In addition to the annual exchange of guidance, it is a fundamental principle that in times of war in the Empire, the mage must serve the country. In addition to these two obligations, the magician is completely free.

In the past hundred years, there have been many small wars, but wars between empires have never happened, so the opportunities for magicians to go to the battlefield are very rare, and even if they do go to the battlefield, with the status of a magician, they will only appear in the most critical battles.

Albert found that Feleg really didn't know much, not only these common senses, but also some basic theories of magic, so he asked him to spend more time reading books in the library, because every magician's time is very limited, and he can't spare time to teach other young magicians except his own mentor.

In recent days, Feleg has spent all his time except meditation on the books in the library, which is the largest library in the entire Auckland Empire, and there are very few people who can come here to read, sometimes not a single person for days.

Feleg is now reading "A Brief History of the Continent of the Gods", which is a book that introduces the East Continent of the Gods, geography, countries, and folklore, and has nothing to do with magic, but Feleg reads it with relish.

The East Continent of the Gods is square, and the central location is the Demon Forest, which is a circle with a diameter of at least 100,000 kilometers. In its outer ring, eight large empires are distributed.

The westernmost part of the East Continent of the Gods is a horizontal mountain range that is 22,000 kilometers long and 2,000 kilometers wide, and no one knows how high, separating the eastern and western continents. Since the beginning of written records, the war between the two continents has not been interrupted, but there are very few records in this regard, only that the war continued.

The so-called empire was founded by a great emperor, with a land area of more than 10 million square kilometers and a population of more than one billion.

Due to the size of the empire, even the fastest horses would take too long to convey the decree and be difficult to manage. In addition, when the empire was created, there were too many heroes, so each empire would divide a large amount of land to the heroes.

The land that was divided as a prince was called a kingdom, and the supreme ruler of the kingdom was mostly a relative of the emperor. A principality, on the other hand, is a land that is divided as a grand duke, so it is called a principality, and the supreme ruler is the grand duke. These small countries that were divided into feudal feuds naturally became vassals of the empire, and in the event of wars between empires, they were subordinate to the empire.

There will also be small frictions between these kingdoms and principalities that are also subordinate to the country, and wars have never gone away, not only within the empire, but also between the vassal states of the two adjacent empires, but fortunately, there have been no wars between empires in the last hundred years.

As for titles below the marquis, their fiefdoms were too small to be a state. Fortunately, the area of the empire is too large to manage, so in these fiefdoms, the empire does not have the time and energy to manage it, just pay a certain amount of taxes regularly.

Not all princes and grand dukes will have their own state, only those who have made outstanding contributions to the empire will have such opportunities. With the stability of relations between empires and the disappearance of inter-imperial wars, there are fewer and fewer people who can own their own kingdoms and principalities.

The Auckland Empire ranks third among the eight empires of the East Continent of the Gods, with an area of more than 19 million square kilometers, a total population of 1.2 billion, 16 kingdoms, more than 200 principalities, and a population of 600 million under the rule of the empire alone.

Even though each empire has a huge land area, the land is not very attractive compared to the total area of more than two billion square kilometers in the entire East of the Gods continent. There is too much barren land that no one lives in, and everyone is fighting for places that are rich in resources and suitable for people to live in.

The outermost part of the continent is the endless ocean, how big the ocean is, no one knows, in the sea close to the horizontal mountain range, and after a thousand kilometers deep into the ocean, there is another space inhabited by demonic beasts in addition to the demon forest. It is absolutely impossible to reach the West Continent of the Gods through the ocean.

After reading "A Brief History of the Continent of the Gods" and putting it back in its place, Feleg was full of emotion, he didn't expect the world to be so big, and the East Continent alone has a population of tens of billions, but he is more interested in the West Continent, but unfortunately in the past few days, he has not found any information about the West Continent.

It's not early outside, and tomorrow you have to communicate with the Imperial Army, and you must make sure that you are in the best condition. Although it is said that the mage fights the samurai of the army, and it does not matter whether he wins or loses, he still does not want to lose.

Feleg felt that life here was very fulfilling, and he could learn something new every day, even though there was no one to guide him, and the books would be an eye-opener for him.

The only thing he regretted was that Becca had not returned to the Academy of Magic, as he had imagined, and so far, no one had seen him. This made Feleg a little worried, whether the teacher broke out of the encirclement of the demonic beast. However, thinking about his current ability, even if he can't defeat that group of demonic beasts, he is still certain to escape, so he can also settle down.

Feleg chose to receive fifteen consecutive exchange mentors, that is, he could complete the task for five years at a time, and at the same time, he knew that he had never had the experience of fighting people, so he just happened to exchange and learn here.
