The first section is the preface, and the second section is parting
"No, absolutely not, I won't let you do this, their parents are heroes of the Empire, now let them go to war without adult children?" Cem shouted.
"It's not a battlefield, we don't need them to go to war, they're just going to be messengers, you know, the area next door to the mammoth is too vast, even if you build a magic post every ten kilometers, you need thousands of magicians to meet the needs here.
We need these magic apprentices to send us a message, just sit in the outpost and send some energy to the crystal ball every day, there is nothing to do, and there is no danger. "Sorcerer Sauron knew that now was not the time to turn his face with the director of this orphanage, so he could only explain patiently.
"They are too young, at most fifteen years old, and their strength is only at the stage of magic apprentices, so they can't play any role at all, so why don't they send some more advanced magicians to sit in charge?" Jem also knew that there was no benefit in turning his face with the military representatives, so he could only whisper.
"Sending information only requires input energy, apprentices are enough, high-level mages are not here to do this, and we can't send so many high-level mages in one area. Another officer, Cody, said in a bad tone, but he didn't make things stiff, although this was an order from the military, but if he made things bigger, he would definitely be responsible for the blame in the end.
"Isn't there any other magic apprentice in the Empire? Why are you looking for these orphans? Is it because they don't have parents?" said Jem, a little excited, dissatisfied with the military's orders.
"You also know, these orphans are pitiful, do you want to create another group of poor people?" Sauron didn't directly say the poor people, but Jem knew that he was talking about those parents, Jem was a little hesitant, if he went to war, for these orphans, the only people to worry about were himself, the headmaster, and those teachers.
"This is only a temporary arrangement, they can come back in three or five years at most, and then we promise that the doors of any school in the empire will be open for them, and this is the greatest compensation we can make for them.
Besides, you don't know how the disaster happened twenty years ago, if there were a few more outposts in the north and a few more magicians watching, there would be no such thing as someone hitting us at the door that we found out, and it would be impossible to create so many orphans.
The empire is changing, and in order for more people to be happy, some people have to give up something. "Coercion doesn't work, Soren is tempting, plus feelings.
Hearing this, Jem was a little relieved, Jem knew about that war, and he participated in it, although the empire won in the end, but after that, thousands of orphans had already been lost, and he was retired because of injuries at the beginning of the war, and finally took care of the orphans of these comrades.
"That battle brought great disasters to the Empire, and it also exposed the great shortcomings of the Empire.
It's been more than a thousand years, our magic empire has not experienced a decent battle, we have the strongest magic legion, the strongest magic cavalry, but it has been reduced to a tool of the nobility, you know how much combat power there is, and now the empire can be said to be empty.
And around the empire, although there are mammoth Gobi and Warcraft forests in the north, the Russ Empire and the Orc Alliance behind are eyeing each other, the Aegis Empire in the west also has a good impression of the land of the empire, the demons behind the fallen ocean in the east may be sharpening their knives, and the three small countries of Tesla, Yueston, and Easton in the south have not been so obedient recently.
Now, as long as any country launches another war against the Empire, can we do it with those noble young masters and soldiers in our hands? If we are defeated, I am afraid that this continent will attack us, after all, our wealth is something that everyone knows.
Now only we old immortal magicians can still move, but we can't sit on the border every day, so we can only let these apprentices pass on the information, so that we can reach those areas as soon as possible and avoid the infinite expansion of the incident.
You don't want to leave countless children orphaned!
This qiē is an order of the military, it is impossible to shake, although these cannot be changed, but I can give you the right to give all your knowledge to these children, even if it is magical knowledge that the empire does not allow to be passed on, as long as it is not written down, a qiē is fine. "Sauron moved with affection, understood with reason, and finally moved Jem.
However, Jem didn't know how he got out of the studio in the end, only knowing that his students and his own children were about to go to war.
"Do we need to be in such trouble? With the military orders in our hands, do they dare to disobey?" Cody said impatiently as he saw Jem walk away, for a soldier like Cody, obeying orders is the only thing, and there is no need for any reason or explanation.
"After all, this matter is not a glorious thing, if the orphans of heroes are recruited to the battlefield, if it reaches the people, if it is not dealt with properly, I am afraid that the entire army will mutiny, so it is still necessary to persuade them to volunteer. Although Sauron said this, he still did not agree with such an order, but as a soldier, Sauron finally compromised.
"Alas, don't complain, there are still twelve orphanages to convince, it's not an easy matter. Sauron complained.
There are a total of twenty schools and more than one or two hundred people for this conscription, including fifteen orphanages and five ordinary schools, but Sauron knows that these five schools are just for show, just to expose the matter and gag the people's mouths.
Section II
Jem's kindergarten is called Hope, but Jack saw these words, it was so dazzling, hope, is this hope, the parents of these orphans shed blood and tears for the empire, and now even these children have to continue their parents' careers, is this fair?
But Jem also knew that this was already a sure thing, and he had to try to give his skills to these children, as Sauron magician said!
"Headmaster!"
"Headmaster!" !!!!!
Entering the school, facing the immature faces on both sides, Jem began to hesitate and returned to the office, where Jem placed two of his assistants and teachers, two retired soldiers, a magician and a warrior.
Listening to Principal Jem's words, the two soldiers who had retired from that battle like themselves were furious, but in the end they also gave in like Jem, what can they do? As soldiers, at least once was, they knew the weight of the order.
"So what do we do now?" Magic teacher Hoss asked helplessly, until now, the three of them have not thought about escaping, because this is simply impossible, because the empire's magic monitoring system is also world-class, unlike the magic legion that has been infected by the nobles, for the monitoring system nobles pay more attention than ordinary people, maybe for property, maybe for life, so the gold coins invested here next year will never be less, because of this, the empire's crime rate is the lowest in the world, and the success rate of solving crimes is also the highest.
"Can you do that? Let's be honest! We can only give them all our skills without reservation. Jem said helplessly.
"If they want to go, let's not stop them. Jem added.
However, the next day, when Principal Jem released the information, there was no imaginary commotion, and there was some excitement, and Jem thought that they didn't know the meaning of the battlefield at all.
"Brother, what is the battlefield, is it fun?" asked a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy curiously while lying on the bed.
A child a little older than the other person on the bed next to him thought, in fact, he was fifteen years old, but as the eldest child here, his words were the truth, the answer, and there were six other children in the same room who were also curious, but he was the only one who had an influence on his parents, and he was more mature than the other children of the same age.
"The battlefield is not fun! Fez looked at his younger brother, and knew that this younger brother was just a name, in fact, he was not a brother at all, these were the principal's attention, although these children did not have fatherly and maternal love, but the principal wanted them to appreciate the feelings between brothers, so almost every child has one or two siblings, and Fez also regarded this child younger than himself as his own brother.
"What is a dead man?" continued his brother Hall.
"What is death?" Fez was also a little puzzled, Fez only knew that his parents were dead, maybe he would meet his parents when he died, and now Fez almost couldn't remember his parents' faces, but Fez only remembered that he promised them to live well, so although Fez didn't understand what death was, he didn't want to die.
"Death is a terrible thing, and we should never touch him. Fez said seriously.
"My brother says he's terrible, he's terrible, and I'll never let him touch me. Hall swore that there were six other children who swore together.
"Fez's words are right, never go to meet death, live well. Jem, who had crept in, continued, and then Jem said something that everyone did not understand.
"You don't owe the Empire, the Empire owes you too much, and if you have the opportunity, you have to seize the opportunity to pursue your own life. ”
"Okay, Headmaster!" Although the children did not understand, the eldest brother and the headmaster thought that they were not good about death, so these children firmly believed that death should not be approached to them.
"Let's sleep! I have to go to class tomorrow, and I have to study hard in the future, in order to live well. Jem covered each child, turned off the magic lamp, and gently closed the door and walked out.
Lying on the bed, Fez, thinking about his life, fifteen years old, looks like a general, magic apprentice level, medium potential, (but in this school is already good, because all orphans with high potential are taken care of by the empire, only those orphans with low to medium potential here, as for those who have no magic potential or warrior potential are classified into other schools) can quickly release the first-level fireball technique and wind blade technique, and can also release earth wall and ice blade magic.
Like most Magic Empire magicians, Fez chose two high-potential fire and wind spells as the main directions, and then chose earth and water magic as the secondary directions.
Like most magicians, Fez's is nothing special, and if anything, it's that the magic is released a little faster than the average person, and then the magic is restored a little faster.
However, the faster the casting speed is also reflected in the fact that during the battle, he drains his magic faster than ordinary people, and the faster he recovers, Fez can just read more magic books.
In the next two months, Fez worked harder than before, and all the magic Li Tian of Mr. Hoth worked hard to remember in his mind, remembering it over and over again, knowing that it was completely imprinted in his mind, in fact, the level of Hoth Magician only reached the level of a fifth-level magician, so Fez didn't have much magic to remember.
During this time, Fess Lian has never paid much attention to physical exercise, and under the training of the warrior teacher Rig, it has also improved, of course, not only Li Tian alone, almost all the orphans who are a little older feel that there is not enough time, and they dare not waste time at all, and even other children who have always been greedy for fun are also affected by them and begin to study hard.
But two months was too short, and in the blink of an eye, the notice to pick up and drop off the children had been issued.
Jem prepared a qiē for these fifty or so children, and when he thought of studying a total of more than eighty children, and more than half of them were gone at once, Jem felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart, but he was powerless.
When it was time to leave at the end, Jem didn't go to say goodbye, but just asked Hoss to bring a sentence: live well.
In the face of the departure of these children, Jem seemed to age dozens of years in an instant, and the tears that had long since dried in his eyes also instantly dripped his rough cheeks on the floor.
