Chapter 333: Isn't This a Coincident? I'm a mage, but I can fight in close combat!
Hearing the king's words, Aurelian was slightly stunned, and turned her head to look around.
The surrounding nobles did not seem surprised by this sudden proposal.
But...... Aurelian didn't quite understand.
Is he crazy?
Here in the kingdom, the high aristocratic class is basically all warriors who have established their position by force.
Because they need this power to consolidate their dominance.
Therefore, the lord of a territory must be the strongest in this territory.
This is fundamentally different from empires.
The powerful of the empire will basically use the orders of the empire to guard the cities of all parties, and they will not interfere in the management of the cities.
Because the strongest person in the empire is the emperor, and all the power is concentrated in the emperor.
In the Empire, there are very few lords.
Including the Cravina family, they are not lords in the real sense of the word.
Although the Clevina family was once given a large piece of territory, and was allowed to be named after the Klavenna.
That is, the Clevenna collar.
But in the largest city in that territory, Breston.
Nor is it entirely ruled by the Clavenna family.
Although everyone knows that the Craviner family is the boss of Breston.
But on the bright side, the empire will still arrange for manpower to jointly manage the city with the Clavenna family.
This is the biggest difference between the state of affairs of a kingdom and an empire.
In the kingdom, as long as the territory remains relatively stable, there is no tendency to rebellion.
Basically, there is no random change of lords.
And the empire will change the mayor of a city from time to time in order to develop.
A mayor's term of office, which may be five years or ten years, will be replaced by someone else.
And the former mayor will naturally be promoted after enough experience and have a bigger position.
However, the king of Kanter, due to his national conditions, must ensure that the lord's force is strong.
Otherwise, it is impossible for the subordinates of the territory to be convinced.
The easiest way for civilians to advance is to become a warrior and work their way up the ranks by exercising their flesh and blood.
This also led to the easiest promotion to the warrior class, which became the mainstream of the kingdom.
This has also led to the kingdom having a unique system of titles - star titles.
A liege's ability to manage, the reputation of the realm, and his strength all affect his star rating.
So the competition in the Kingdom of Kanter is fierce, fierce to a terrible level.
Because the warriors were too inward-rolled, almost all the other professions in the kingdom were swept to death.
Mages, in particular, spend a lot of time and effort accumulating knowledge.
But there is little place in this fierce competition.
Therefore, the mages of the kingdom simply gave up the traditional mage profession and turned to the niche and remote means to pursue the power they seek.
But it's a pity that in the end, they all played to death on this road.
The realms are all warriors, and they must ensure that the nobility is full of warriors.
But if the king pushes for mages, he even wants to build a magic academy.
Let's not talk about the impact this will have on the rule of the kingdom.
Anyway, for the lords, the impact is quite big.
So Aurelian took the initiative to ask the king:
"Your Majesty, do you know how difficult it is to train a mage?"
King August nodded, leaned back towards the throne, and smiled:
"Yes, I know that."
Because there is a powerful mage in their country, that is, Archduke Festan Barlow.
Aurelian's expression was a little serious, and she continued to ask:
"So I wonder if you'll choose to give a knighthood if a more powerful mage comes along?"
This is a concern for almost the entire kingdom system.
Although it is difficult for mages to produce strong ones, under the academy education, there will still be a lot of talents.
Although it will not grow as quickly as those warriors and have strong strength, it is still possible for some second- and third-order mages to appear.
At this time, should the kingdom give them a knighthood?
If they don't, then why do they still want to go to the Academy of Magic?
Isn't learning magic just to be able to become a nobleman and glorify your ancestors in the future?
And King Auguste's answer is very ingenious.
"If their contributions can reach the corresponding star rating, they will naturally receive the corresponding treatment from them."
That is, the answer was given from the very beginning.
In the country of the Kingdom of Kanter, competition is fierce.
Even if you are a mage, as long as you can meet the level standards of the Star-Lord system.
to be able to become a nobleman.
This seems very fair, because this is a kingdom with a star-lord system.
As long as you get a star, even one star, you will become a baron from a commoner.
At first glance, this may not seem like a problem, but the problem is.
In the early stage, the mages were weak and destined to be unable to compete with the powerful warriors.
After all, in the context of the Kingdom of Kante, the number of warriors is even greater, and they are much stronger than mages.
However, don't forget one thing.
That is, mages live much longer than warriors.
A mage may live long enough to witness the replacement of three generations of warriors.
This longevity gave them enough time to establish themselves in the kingdom's aristocracy.
Regular use of elemental magic, the magic power is constantly flowing above the meridians in the body, and the body will also be young and energetic under the nourishment of magic.
A well-maintained mage can live for one or two hundred years, and it is not a problem.
When the old warriors died, the mages were still alive.
After surviving that period of time, then the aristocratic system of the entire kingdom will probably be firmly in the hands of those old mages.
Although mages are few and far between, not all of them can become mages.
However, to live a long time is to have a lot of seniority.
As long as there are a hundred old mages who have lived for more than a hundred years, how can there be those new warriors in the position of noble lords?
Why is the Kingdom of Kanter strong?
The reason is that there are many warriors and they are transforming rapidly.
The low threshold for fighters has led to the fact that even civilians have dreams and volunteer to become a warrior.
Although the commoners don't know how long they have to work hard, as long as they become strong and get stars, won't they become nobles and be able to glorify their ancestors?
So much so that the entire kingdom, even the common people, have a good amount of force.
But once the mage nobles appeared on a large scale.
If the follow-up people want to be promoted, they will first have to face a huge threshold to become a mage.
Not everyone can become a mage.
Moreover, there is also that boring study time.
Powerful mages need time to accumulate knowledge, and only strong mages can become nobles.
But the more powerful the mage, the more unable it is to avoid aging.
So want to become a lord?
Then live to be 100 years old first!
Aurelian analyzed the situation in the kingdom, and she saw the potential problems very clearly.
And August, as the head of a country, could not have realized this?
However, the other party still wants to say that he wants to create a magic academy?
Did the other lords agree?
This question bothered Aurelian.
After thinking about it, she shouldn't answer this kind of thing by herself.
Because any answer will only lead her into the trap of the young king.
Too much talk can make you lose it all.
So Aurelian smiled slightly, and said politely:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but if you had known, you would have known that I have two teachers."
"Although I am a mage, I have no less time to learn swordsmanship than I do to learn magic."
Hearing this, many noble lords couldn't help but look at Aurelian.
From the faces they received, there was great surprise.
Is this mage princess, who even looks a little weaker, still a melee mage who cultivates both material and legal methods?
If you want to cultivate both material and legal skills, you need to put in exponential effort.
This couldn't help but make the nobles present reevaluate the princess and have a strong affection for it again.
After all, in this kingdom, the lords usually only value two things - strength, and whether the other party is a warrior or not.
Aurelian said lightly:
"So I'm sorry I can't give an answer to this question, after all, I'm not a mage in the traditional sense."
"However, Your Majesty, you may wish to ask my teacher, Victor, Councillor Clavenna."
As soon as these words came out, many nobles fell silent.
A distinct aura began to rise from the entire hall.
It was so powerful that it was as if all the elements in this space had been drawn together.
The magic seemed to be starting to stir, like a rapids around every nobleman present.
This oppressive magic made everyone present feel a little uneasy.
Many people can't help but look at Victor.
He just sat there calmly, his hands in his pockets.
But these noble lords can clearly feel it.
This sense of repression is clearly coming from the body of the Clerk Kravenna.
Many people know Victor, after all, the ocean battle that spread all over the world was too shocking.
And they also heard.
Victor and the others, on their way to the kingdom, bombed the valley of Nangaburna, which separated the empire from the kingdom.
The kind of thing that can hardly be done by human means shocked these fighters even more.
No matter how powerful they are, they can't cause a catastrophe like a natural disaster.
August raised his eyebrows with some interest and continued to Aurelian;
"Oh? Does Congressman Kravenna still understand this? ”
Aurelian responded with a smile.
"Of course, my teacher is the chief professor of our Imperial Royal Academy of Magic."
As she spoke, a look of pride spread across her face.
This little pride made August aware of it.
He smiled lightly:
"I see."
Then, he turned his gaze to Victor, and his gaze revealed deep respect:
"Councillor Clavenner."
Victor was expressionless, just nodded indifferently in response.
The king asked:
"Actually, I didn't want to establish a magic academy on the spur of the moment."
"In our kingdom, there is an academy similar to the Empire's magic academy."
"It's just that there's more of a focus on cultivating strong warriors."
At this point, August was sitting up, his eyes seemed to reveal deep emotion.
"Star Academy."
"This name is taken from the knighthood system of our kingdom."
"When I was younger, I used to study there all the time."
He stood up, as if in invitation, and smiled and held out his hands to Aurelian and Victor:
"I don't know, Mr. Councillor, and Princess Aurelian."
"Would you like to join us on a tour of that great institution?"
