Chapter 801 Lack of Money Everywhere
The days go by.
Sean also gradually learns to enjoy this special ability from the stressful life.
Actually, it's quite interesting to be able to observe the movement of the entire surrounding person from this higher level of sight, and this time it's not just observing.
After gaining the power of the creator, Sean was not only able to change the appearance of the environment with his own modifications, but even recently discovered that as long as someone who was slightly stared at by him, even a small story, could become a reality according to the script.
Do you really have the conditions for the creation of God?
It's outrageous~
Every day when she came back from the main hall, Frelia would also report back to her side.
"There is a competition in the Academy of Magic in a few days, and I have a quarterly competition according to your requirements, what do you think?"
Hand a copy of the message to Sean.
"As long as you do it, I'm relieved. ”
"Then you can take a look at it too!"
Took it and took a look......
It's just the level assessment and the number of students.
"I just looked at it, I think we spend a lot of money on the academy every day, if the students who can't improve three times in a row decide to graduate them early, what do you think?"
The daily expenses on the Academy of Magic are indeed a lot, and even exceeded Sean's budget at one point.
After all, the entire Jagon is currently in the post-war recovery period, and many places need money, and there are a lot of people who want to wait for funding from various places, and they are under pressure to continue to make blood for the Academy of Magic...... After all, in this post-war period, the whole country did not have much money.
Especially in recent times, it has only slowly shown up.
It was only now that Sean finally understood why the original Basalan Empire was in a state of collapse after that war, and it was really troubled by firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Because several cities were destroyed during the war, and there were still displaced people and soldiers who died in battle to be appeased...... All of this requires money, but Jagon has squandered the foundation laid before for many years, and now he is short of money.
Sean has tried his best to increase productivity to create more jobs, but with little success, as long as there are too many displaced people after the war.
Don't forget
Tens of thousands of people died on the battlefield in the west, and even if they went back, it would be a depression, just like the city that was destroyed after he inherited the city of Oro Di, it was completely empty and empty.
It is estimated that generations will not choose to settle in that place, and will only continue to build cities elsewhere.
And these still cost money!
"Just do as you say, now we need to tighten our belts and get by, and all the expenses in the palace that can be reduced have been reduced, and we will probably need to do this in the next two or three years. ”
"Hmm. ”
Frelia naturally agreed.
After all, even the rewards I pay to the wizards are a bit tight now.
Overall, Sean has his own industry...... Claude's factory and the tax revenue of Oro City, which have not been affected by the war, have been normal for the past few years.
But a city can't save the country, and it doesn't have any economic resources on its side, and it relies entirely on the money in the treasury.
"I've thought of a way to deal with this, even if the wizards who have been persuaded to quit I want to send them to work on the farms and wheat fields, relying on the ability of magic and research should make the produce explode, otherwise I am afraid of famine in a few years. ”
Also.
There wasn't much arable land back then, and it was bought in large quantities with a little oasis and wealth, but now that the desert has become an oasis, there are more possibilities, and it's a good way to rely on the new magicians to increase productivity.
"It's for the best. ”
"Are you going to see the first magic academy competition?"
"Look, why don't you go!
"Of course she wants you to go over...... And Igonia!"
As soon as the two talked about Igonia, the atmosphere was a little subtle, and the identity of the other party.
"Why, you're afraid I'll be angry. ”
"Don't you get angry!"
"To be honest, I was surprised when I saw her at the Academy of Magic, but I wasn't angry, after all, she wasn't easy. Now that Lucille is serious about nurturing her, I feel that her future is stronger than mine. ”
The person Frelia respects the most in the whole country, after all, the person she is most reluctant to provoke is Lucille.
The other party seems to have always had some kind of special connection with Sean......
To say that they are masters and apprentices, the relationship seems to be a little closer.
But from an intimate point of view, there is an extra respect between the two.
And Lucill's strength is extraordinary, he vaguely feels that the other party may be about to reach the 19th level of the Order, the kind of level that only appears in books really exists in the world now, and it can even be said that Lucill's name alone is enough to deter the entire eastern countries of Adak, the level is too high.
"They're trying, but you're not bad. Sean reassured.
..................
In the blink of an eye, another week has passed,
The Academy of Magic has finally ushered in the real part of the competition.
This is the first competition of the first magic academy, and many people have received news from the announcement that if you are at the bottom of the 3 consecutive grades, you will be graded early, and you will be allowed to take up a job at will.
At the moment, no one wants to be the first to be persuaded to quit, so they are all working hard.
In a remote corner of the academy, Jasper and Alice were still making their final preparations.
"Damn, damn, damn ......"
Hit the wall in front of you a few times.
"Why can't I learn magic? "The mood is close to breaking down, and it's the last time for Jasper to use magic.
Every time you cast a spell, your body changes, and those halos get stronger and stronger, but there is no magic formation.
It's weird.
"Don't worry, Jasper. ”
"How can I not be in a hurry...... Then it's time for the selection competition, and if I can't do it, I'm afraid I'll be the first to finish at the bottom. ”
Squatting on the ground with your head in your hands.
There is no way anymore, I used to be able to squander my time at will, but now I have to be pulled into the arena and I can't fight with my own ability.
Alice next to her was also in a hurry......
Looking left and right, I can't think of any good way.
In the hands of some passing campus guard, Alice suddenly thought.
"That's right, Jasper. Otherwise, you use weapons. ”
"Weapons?"
"Well, the sword is good. Spears are also good...... Didn't you use them a lot to practice in the fields, and if you used weapons, I believe you could defeat at least one or two people, and not end up at the bottom. ”
"But how can weapons fight magic. Jasper asked, puzzled.
Isn't it over when people rush over?
"But it's better than being beaten for nothing, and at least you can fight with a weapon...... And the competition is said to play at will, and the point is up. It is not said that weapons cannot be used. ”
