Chapter 44: I Am the New Lord
Silence, silence for a long time.
Until the orange glow completely disappeared, everyone still had an expression of disbelief.
"Ahem, ahem." Norman was the first to come to his senses and snatched the Magic Detection Device from Claire. "This thing can't be broken, I'll try."
As he spoke, he tested it again, but the result was still a faint white light, the same as what he had tried before.
Seeing Norman's embarrassed face, Bart hurriedly came out to play the round.
"Hahaha, did Your Excellency the Baron deliberately deceive people before, orange is not the highest level of magical talent."
Claire shrugged, looking innocent, indicating that it had nothing to do with her.
Bella looked at the two of them like an idiot, and then stared at Claire with a glint in her eyes, causing a cold sweat to break out on his back.
"I didn't expect you to have such a magical talent, it's amazing, I didn't even see it before. If you practice magic, you will definitely achieve more than your current knightly path. ”
Unlike the others, Bella has an inexplicable expectation of Claire after being shocked by Claire's talent. She herself is already very talented, and now that she sees Claire's talent higher than her, she wants to see if Claire's final achievements on the magic path will be better than her.
Claire knows better than Bella how strong the talent of this body is, it is the owner of the magic martial arts talent of one in a hundred among all the magic cultivators in the previous life, and the upper limit of achievement is basically the ceiling level of this world.
Claire also understands that talent is talent and achievement is achievement. A great talent is a blank check in itself, and it will take time to test how much money it can fill out.
It's just that with the bonus of memories of previous lives, I'm afraid that the final number on this check is enough to shock people's hearts.
But verbally, Claire was very modest.
"It's a pity that I found out too late, and maybe I won't be too successful in practicing magic now."
"Not necessarily." Hearing this, Bella cited many examples of well-known magicians who were late bloomers, encouraged Claire to practice magic well, and said that she would pass on everything she knew about magic to him.
Seeing this, a group of people also complimented in different ways, and Lin on the side was even more excited than Claire, and she could see the pink peach heart in her eyes at a casual glance.
Claire smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
This first step in whitewashing oneself of magic has finally been completed.
As for whether the sudden possession of a magical talent would arouse suspicion by others if no one had noticed the magical talent before, Claire was not worried.
After all, this body did have a magical gift, not his soul.
As for the undiscovered examples of magical talents, which are discovered later, it is not uncommon among magicians, and in the final analysis, the detection of magical talents in this world is mostly based on people rather than a standard object.
There will always be times when people look away, not to mention that most people will never meet a magician in their lifetime to see their magical talents.
The only thing I am worried about is that the magic talent displayed is too high, which will arouse the jealousy of some people, and may even cause trouble. But Claire can't help it, this device is too accurate, and he can't hide his talent.
If you think about it carefully, although there are indeed many people who are not dealing with it now, such as several barons who lead the green hat, such as the new barons who were forced by him to choose only dangerous territories, this festival is not really to the extent that you want to die.
Even if his magical talent really spreads, maybe many people will turn enemies into friends. After all, the friendship of a promising magician is more reliable than the risk of killing a magician.
As for whether the news can spread, Claire is not worried at all.
Just kidding, it would be strange if no one in his soldiers and the mercenary group in front of him reported to the side of Trois-Rivières.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if someone really wants to strangle Claire in the cradle, with Claire's real combat power now, unless a high-level professional makes a move, otherwise in the face of a middle-level professional, not to mention confrontation, at least it is no problem to run away.
Do you really think that there is no achievement in studying space magic in your previous life? Just kidding, that's an experience that was exchanged for a one-time life.
After a while, Claire and the two higher-ups of the mercenary group arrived in the small square in the center of Tilling.
Here, under Claire's arrangement, it has long been crowded.
Before taking out the magic detection device, Claire had already arranged for someone to notify several nearby villages.
What Claire has to do is naturally to test these people's magical talents to see how many seedlings can practice magic.
Bella accepts Claire's kindness and is willing to officiate the ceremony, as Claire expected. And he also imagined that if Bella didn't agree, this test would still have to be done, but well, maybe he would only write down the names of these people, and then focus on it, waiting for a magician who was willing to cooperate.
Now, don't worry about that.
The people near Tilin Town were called to the small square by the village chief or town mayor early in the morning, and they had been waiting impatiently, but after seeing Claire's group, there was fear in their eyes, and the whole scene quickly fell silent.
Most of them didn't know Claire, but seeing that the town mayor and the village chief didn't dare to straighten up in front of the handsome young man in the lead, the young man's identity was naturally obvious.
At Claire's suggestion, Bella added an amplification spell to the mayor.
The mayor looked at Claire, and after receiving a nod from Claire, he cleared his throat and straightened up.
"I have called everyone here today for two main reasons, and I hope you will listen well.
The first thing is that our town of Tilling and a few villages have changed lords, and the new lord is the noble Baron Claire next to me, and he is everyone's new lord. ”
As soon as the village chief's words fell, the people who were still standing knelt down and shouted long live the lord.
Seeing this scene, Claire couldn't help but jump out of the corner of her eyes, and there was a trace of unspeakable emotion in her heart.
He knew that it was wrong for the people in front of him to be so obedient and docile, but he also knew very well that he could abolish the etiquette of prostration, but if he wanted to change the prostrations in their hearts, it would not happen overnight.
If at this time, he said something like equality to everyone, it is estimated that not only the people will think that he is crazy, but the nobles will also think that he is an alternative.
After all, his current identity is a nobleman and a lord.
He doesn't like this set of things, but in order to achieve his goals, he has to continue to use them now.
From ancient times to the present, no matter what the world, there are only individuals who have betrayed the class, and there is no class that has betrayed the class. Want to change everything, unless, eliminate the aristocracy as a class.
"Get up." Claire, who was a third-order knight on the surface, naturally didn't need the help of amplification magic, and easily transmitted the sound to everyone's ears.
"From now on, I will be your new lord, and as long as you can abide by the laws I have made, I will guarantee your safety."
After saying that, Claire gestured to the mayor with her eyes.
The mayor understood and quickly took over the topic.
"Thank you, Lord Lord, for your generosity.
Then the second thing is also related to the generosity of the lord. The lord has invited the noble magician Lady Bella to test everyone's magical talents, and anyone with magical talent can become Lady Bella's magic apprentice and become a real magician from now on! ”
