Chapter 68: The Mage

"You're interested in magic?" In the room, Selena asked Ye Junwen.

"Indeed." Ye Junwen also nodded, "The spells on your side are very different from the spells on our side, so I'm still very interested." ”

"I see." Selena nodded, "But although you are a little interested, it is better not to become a mage." ”

"Why?" Ye Junwen asked a little strangely.

Selena also knew that Ye Junwen didn't know what was going on inside, so she popularized science for Ye Junwen. Ye Junwen listened to it roughly, and the simple meaning was that in this other world, in fact, the situation of the mage was not as admired as he thought.

Ye Junwen's cognition of magicians comes from the novels and the like he read before, and the mages in it are all very powerful, and then they are admired by tens of thousands of people, but they are not here. In this world, those mages are more heretical in most people's perception, and they do have great power, but most people only think they are weird, fear them, and do not worship them.

The source of magic in this world mainly comes from three academies, the Hollem Academy, the Ancient Dragon Academy, and the Grey Robe Academy. Through Selena's narration, Ye Junwen roughly understood the situation of these three academies, which is a bit similar to the situation of the hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in ancient China, that is, the three academies represent the three schools. It is true that the mages inside will be born and then help the various forces, but they can never be truly subordinate to the forces, because when it comes to the affairs of the Academy, they must take a stand.

Obviously, this kind of system makes the rulers of various forces not very fond of these mages, although sometimes they also need the power of mages, but after all, they are not their own people, and they always feel that there is something separated. In this case, almost every faction has reservations about mages. And in their St. Willan Empire, the situation of mages is similar, due to the official propaganda, the atmosphere in the overall empire is that these mages are more alienated, the people generally believe that these mages are more strange existences, they love and worship more are those warriors who fight bravely on the battlefield to gain glory.

Of course, after all, these mages have relatively strong powers, so the empire still needs these powers. Under normal circumstances, the nobles in the empire would send their children who did not have the right to inherit to study magic and become magicians, so that they could gain great power without posing any threat to the inheritance, because in the eyes of the people, it was strange for a magician to become a lord, and most people would not accept this situation. The real inheritor needs to accumulate merits on the battlefield in order to be supported by everyone.

So Selena has been preventing Ye Junwen from becoming a mage, after all, Ye Junwen is now a member of the Clovis family and has already obtained the title, if he becomes a mage at this time, it will have an impact on his orthodox identity. Originally, of course, she didn't care if Ye Junwen wanted to learn magic or not, but now the person pretending to be her was her, so naturally it involved the affairs of the Clovis family, and she had to remind her.

"What ......is the situation of the water god" Ye Junwen probably understood, but also talked about the water god, if the empire has this attitude towards magicians, then the current situation of the water god is relatively weird, he is the leader of a legion, if the empire is prejudiced against mages, how can he let him hold such a position.

"It's not clear, but in fact, there is a precedent for mages to inherit the title, after all, if the orthodox heir dies, there is no other heir but the mage to inherit it." Selena said, "We don't know much about the situation of the Calesel family, so we probably don't have a suitable heir except him." ”

Ye Junwen nodded, he probably knew the reason why the credibility of the water god in the legion was not high, maybe because of the identity of the mage, most of the generals were probably dissatisfied with the situation of a mage leading them, after all, in their opinion, mages are just some weird scholars, and only those who really fight on the battlefield deserve to be called great people. And this assassination, or more or less, has something to do with this reason.

Now some strange things also make sense, for example, although the water god is a mage, he still has a sword hanging from his waist, and it seems that his swordsmanship is not bad, it seems that it is also to reduce the hostility of others brought by his mage status. If you are proud of this identity, you can just swagger in a mage robe and hold a magic staff.

"And once you decide to become a mage, you have to go to the academy to study for at least a year, can you accept that?" Selena asked.

"Is that so?" Ye Junwen really didn't know about it, if he had to study for a year, Ye Junwen didn't want to do it a little, although he was really interested in spells, but his primary goal now was to build his own business empire, and it was really unacceptable to study for a year.

"That water god also needs to be on guard." Selena continued, "You don't know these things, but of course he does, so he suddenly invited you to become a mage, with unknown intentions. ”

Indeed, the water god's intentions in inviting himself to become a mage knowing that he was the owner of the title of Earl Clovis are indeed somewhat questionable. But maybe it's not to harm yourself, it may just be a way to screen your peers. Yes, the empire has reservations about the mage, and the mage certainly has reservations about the empire, maybe the water god thinks that only people who are in a similar situation to himself can understand his situation and become a real friend with him, so he will let Ye Junwen learn magic.

However, it is impossible for Ye Junwen to become a mage now, and he really can't accept this one-year study period. At present, I am still obediently learning swordsmanship and fighting spirit, and I will have the opportunity to do magic again in the future.

"I see, I'll turn him down." Understanding the situation, Ye Junwen also said to Selena.

"That's for the best." Selena nodded, if Ye Junwen really insisted on learning magic, it would be very troublesome.

The two chatted for a while, mainly about Todd and the pistol, and Ye Junwen also explained it a little. Soon it was getting late, and it was estimated that seeing that Ye Junwen had not reacted, Selena couldn't help but say a little: "Shouldn't we do something serious now?" ”

"Business?" Ye Junwen was slightly stunned, what is the matter?

Selena's face darkened suddenly, but she quickly turned red again, and lowered her voice a little and said, "Heir." “

"Oh." Ye Junwen immediately understood, the two had said before that if they could survive the previous rebellion, Selena would consider marrying Ye Junwen, and then of course the two of them would have been making the next generation of the Clovis family, which was good.

Ye Junwen doesn't have any opinion on this, after all, he also needs Selena's help now, of course, he knows the process very well, he has done everything he should have done when he was with his ex-girlfriend before, so naturally he won't be like a junior brother. It just so happened that the current atmosphere was quite good, Ye Junwen looked at Selena, and then directly pressed the other party's shoulder.

Selena probably hadn't experienced these things, and when she saw Ye Junwen's movements, she quickly closed her eyes, and she was very nervous when she looked at her, and her whole body was trembling slightly. It seems that although I have made a decision mentally, I can't help but be a little scared when I really encounter it.

"Knock knock." As a result, just when Ye Junwen was about to work, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Ye Junwen frowned, this irritating situation was actually encountered by himself, and he didn't know who was looking for his trouble.

opened the door, and found that it was a soldier who came, and when he saw Ye Junwen open the door, he immediately said, "Lord Earl, Lord General wants to see you." ”

"The god of water?" Ye Junwen asked.

"Yes, it's Lord Water." The soldier replied.

"Got it, I'll go right away." This water god shouldn't have nothing to do with himself, it seems that there is really something wrong. Ye Junwen nodded, then closed the door and looked at Selena. Of course, she also heard the conversation between the two, and showed a slightly annoyed expression.

"I knew I wouldn't have talked so much nonsense just now." Ye Junwen said, "Looking for me so late, I don't know what the situation is." ”

"I've heard that many nobles have good masculine ......," Selena said quietly.

"......" Ye Junwen looked at Selena and said a little sluggishly, "No...... Yes...... ......."

"I don't know, but it's a strange time." Selena said, "I think you'd better be careful. ”

"Dry ......" Ye Junwen held his forehead, but this time point is indeed a bit strange. His sexual orientation is nothing special, if he really encounters this situation, even if the water god is still a little useful now, Ye Junwen said that he would kill him first.

"Anyway, let's go check it out first." Ye Junwen thought about it, and he still had to take a look, after all, it was not easy to refuse now.

Out of the room, Ye Junwen was also led by the soldiers to the side of the water god, and what made Ye Junwen relieved a lot was that the other party did not meet him in the room, but in a place that looked like an office in the City Lord's Mansion. Although this place doesn't look like a place to do that kind of thing, there is no one in the room, and Ye Junwen said that he should be careful.

"You're in luck." The god of water came up and said.
