Chapter 3 Familiar Places
Hearing Leo say this, Crimmond couldn't help but show some regret. Although he didn't know much about magic, he often heard about it, and he could also know that Rio's age had reached the intermediate level, and the talent for magic was really high, which was really rare.
What's more, from the beginning of contact, he was already very optimistic about Leo and tried to woo him many times.
But now it seems that Leo is still a little estranged from the family, and he has nothing to do about it, fortunately Isha has returned to the family, Leo will not be too far away in the future, and he must need a strong family to support his own magic research, and it is only a matter of time before he cooperates.
Cremund's unaware that before he knew it, he no longer wanted to subdue Leo, but instead turned his attitude to cooperation.
And now that he had received such an answer, Kremund could no longer say anything, but gave Philip a look.
He has a very good relationship with Leo, and I believe that it is much more effective for him to speak than to speak himself.
Philip immediately understood, scratched his head, and said, "Leo, Uncle has something I want to ask you for help. ”
"Tell me, I'll do my best. Leo responded. For Philip, who used to take care of himself very much, he has unusual feelings, of course, he will not easily refuse.
Philip said: "That's right, recently Robert has found a few children in the family who are suitable for learning magic, I want you to help me take a look, if the talent is really good, increase investment in cultivating them, and strive to send them to the junior college as soon as possible." ”
"Junior college, what's that?" Leo looked blank.
Philip patted his head and explained, "It's been a while since you left here, so you don't know yet, but recently the Magire Council has made great efforts to set up junior magic academies in several large cities in the Ruhr region, not only allowing civilians to enroll. Tuition fees are also very low. ”
Leo then remembered the appeal made by Chairman Pusher in his speech when he first took the exam. Unexpectedly, in just three years, it has already begun to be implemented on a large scale.
The Ruhr region was an underdeveloped region throughout the Lunar Empire. Unexpectedly, it could be completed in a few years, which made him feel very surprised.
"That's a really good move. In this way, the number of mages will definitely increase significantly. Leo was amazed.
"Hehe, that's right. Philip smiled, but looked a little embarrassed.
Leo immediately guessed that, as the ruling class, the Joseph family must have been involved in the opposition to the initiative.
It's not hard to imagine. If one or two commoners had risen to become nobles, they might not have felt anything. But if a large number of civilians become mages and become forces that can be equal to them, then these vested interests will definitely not be willing to accept it.
It's just that I don't know what method Puser used to implement it. According to Leo's guess, some compromise and distribution of benefits should have been made. Otherwise, judging by the power at the disposal of the nobles, if it is forcibly resisted. The Magi's Council can't just go its own way.
Philip, of course, was unaware of the twists and turns in Leo's head, and continued: "It is said that the first children entered the school. In the preliminary examination of this magic joint examination, they all achieved very good results, which were much better than those students brought out by independent mages, so we have such an idea. You also know that the Magi's will be more professional after all, their instructors. It's definitely much more reliable than Robert's kid. ”
Hearing Philip say this, Leo could only smile in return, after all, he and Robert had only met once in Castle Rock City, and they had in-depth contact.
"Centralized education has its unique advantages. It also allows beginners to adapt to college life in advance, so it's a good idea to study there if you can. Leo gave his opinion on the matter.
Then he asked, "Are there any requirements for admission to this junior college?"
"The requirements are very strict. Philip smiled wryly, "But they don't pay attention to the basics of magic, they just do some strange tests. ”
"Strange test, what a strange method?" Leo wondered.
Philip thought for a moment before replying, "It is said that they will ask some inexplicable questions, such as your favorite color, your favorite food......"
"Isn't this just a psychological test, how could Chairman Psyr come up with such a thing......" Leo laughed dumbly, "anything else?"
Philip knew this very well, and said without thinking: "There is also mental power monitoring, if the children of the family still have potential worth tapping, then we don't mind using some expensive external means." ”
Leo knew that Philip was referring to some special potions that could improve a person's physique to a certain extent, but most of them were expensive, so it was no wonder that he was so cautious.
And if it was just a small matter like looking at the talents of a few children, Leo certainly had no reason to refuse, and immediately agreed.
"That's great!" Philip patted Leo on the shoulder happily, "It's almost time for us to be on guard, you two will stay here for a few days and then go home with us." ”
............
A week later, Leo, who followed the Joseph family's thousand-man team, slowly entered the Marquis of Joseph.
It was already autumn and the road was lined with golden wheat fields, indicating a very good harvest this year. Most of the cultivators who were plowing would stop and salute respectfully when they saw the procession.
Along the way, Leo already knew that the Joseph family was currently in a period of rapid expansion, not only absorbing a large number of displaced people, but also opening up a lot of wasteland. From the faces of the farmers, it can be seen that their physical condition is not bad, and they should be able to eat and clothe warmly.
In this regard, Leo had to secretly praise a few words in his heart.
Klemond was indeed a good lord, strict with himself and kind to his subjects, at least for now.
In the evening, the team arrived at the castle, and looking at the place where he had lived for many years, Leo suddenly felt a little emotional.
The place has not changed, the people have not changed, what has changed is only the mood.
Since Leo said that he wanted to return to the academy as soon as possible, Philip didn't want to delay too long, so he led him straight to the family's magic laboratory, and at the same time arranged for someone to find the talented child, so that Leo could start the test immediately.
Looking at the familiar laboratory door, before Leo could open it, an explosion suddenly came, shaking the entire castle slightly.
Immediately after, Robert's annoyed voice rang out: "Damn! Why is it still not right!" (to be continued......
