"I think many of you already know the young Viscount Edward Vincent. โ
His Majesty's smile was quite cheerful, in stark contrast to the expressionless young man beside him: "On this joyous occasion today, I am ready to announce a small decision. โ
"First of all, as a nobleman, you must always have the spirit of working tirelessly, using the wisdom of others to make up for your own weaknesses and rejecting a narrow vision. Strand, my son, have you ever remembered this phrase about the church of the sages?"
The Emperor's gaze swept across the hall and finally rested on His Royal Highness the Prince. He said casually, as if casually.
"Follow your teachings. His Royal Highness bowed his head.
The original slight commotion in the hall fell silent, and Edward's brow furrowed, vaguely feeling a little troublesome.
Sure enough.
"Carmen Sr. resigned from his post last year due to health reasons and returned to the territory, and Secretary of State Tudanton was too busy with official business to guide you, so your mentor has been vacant, but it is very important for a young man like you to have the encouragement and teachings of a wise man. So, I am always looking for a suitable wise person to guide you. The king said aloud, turning his gaze to the young man beside him, "Now, I think I've found it." โ
The sound of breathing in the hall was also heard.
"Now, thanks to the guidance of Ogma, the god of knowledge, I am not only an emperor, but also a father. I invite you, Viscount Edward Vincent, to be the mentor of my son Strong," the King's words, still casual: "How, Lord Viscount, do you accept it?"
"Thank you for your generosity. My majesty, but my qualifications are not enough, but when such a ......"
"Wisdom doesn't just come from seniority, otherwise. There will be no such thing as a genius in the world. โ
"Majesty praised ......"
Edward's brows couldn't help but furrow, is this the so-called reward referring to this?
But he never liked to make a name for himself, to be unknown or to some people. But being famous in the world is a useless burden, and the name can bring a lot of trouble.
Is it because of something I've done in Illyria? or is it ......
Knowing this, it would have been better to find some excuse to stay in the territory - thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse Minecil secretly...... If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't been pestered by this guy, he might not have come here, and he wouldn't have had all these boring troubles.
But what is the intention of disobeying the king?
"Or, does Your Excellency the Viscount think that it is not my praise that is wrong, but my vision?"
โ...... By your grace. Follow the teachings. The king let out a laugh. But the light in those amber eyes flickered, so Edward could only hang his head slightly.
What else can be said at this time?
Even if you want to shirk it, it's hard to find any joint excuses in your eagerness, and everyone else will forget it. Edward didn't have the power to turn down an invitation from a king in publicโif it were his teacher, or just find a reason, but a small apprentice, refusing would only cause him more trouble.
In the great hall, there was a strange silence. People looked away from the shabby-clad teenager. looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they saw their wonderful doubts.
His Majesty, what is he thinking?
The position of trainer is not actually an official title, but a name, and its role is to teach and guide the children of the royal family, similar to a private teacher.
This position is not the only deposit, every prince and princess of the royal family may have a plurality of trainers, and there are countless depositors who have held this position among the mages, and it is said that the current king, His Majesty, once had a ** teacher as a trainer at the behest of the previous king-but only for the reason of qualification, in fact, it is to exercise his mental power and learn to use some magic tools that are not of a high level.
And the dean of the academy, Master Hawking, has the title of mentor of at least three kings. In addition, several nobles who now hold important positions in government affairs, as well as some temple priests who are closely affiliated with the Tumenes regime, have all held such titles.
But to such a young man......
Well, in fact that lucky guy can't even afford to be called a young man, he ...... He looked a little younger than the young prince, and if his body grew a little faster, he might not even have the qualifications for adulthood!
Let such a little imp be a trainer, what can he teach His Royal Highness?
But this question is not appropriate to raise at this time.
"Congratulations, my majesty. Your wisdom can only be matched by your greatness. I am confident that His Excellency Viscount Edward will be able to take up this appointment. Congratulations, Viscount Edward, and I hope that your wisdom will guide His Highness the Prince. โ
A voice broke the awkward silence, so everyone's eyes turned, and at the intersection, the Chancellor of Finance clapped his palms gently, which also made most people connect from the name that was not verbose to the grand knighthood ceremony more than ten days ago.
So the applause was thunderous.
The natural superiority in education has made the nobles of Romante rarely appear stupid, in the capital of this country where various forces are intricate. The nobles who can control the power of the family for more than ten years, no matter what kind of appearance they have in the eyes of outsiders, whether they are mediocre or shrewd, they all have their own set of ways to live in the world, and the close ministers around the emperor are naturally even more so, no matter how big or small the official rank, they are all elite elements who have rolled over from treacherous and insidious political conspiracy, and their sense of smell is not comparable to that of civilians.
The name of this young man may not be obvious to the ears of the middle and lower class nobles. But as long as you have participated in the previous knighthood ceremony, how many people will not know? If you say that you are beaten in public...... Well, if it was the heir who defeated the Jasper family in a duel, and it was just an interesting topic, then the presence of a ** master was enough to kill the cells in the brains of many smart people.
An obscure, ** apprentice.
As His Majesty said. The prince's original two trainers have left office one after another, and it was customary to do so, after the prince came of age. It is already possible to set up such a position anymore, but now that His Majesty the King has taken it out, it is a bit ...... Subtle.
This is a position that is somewhat critical. But there is no position of real power, the role that can be played is not big, it is not small, if you have the heart, you are assisting the next king, and the future will inevitably rise step by step. But if you are not interested...... Well, in fact, there are too many people among the mages who have given up on it, and there are many examples of the trainee never seeing the trainer in their lifetime.
If you want to win over a disciple of a ** master, this position seems to be very suitable. Apart from...... The age of that little ghost, but apparently no one would be interested in ruining the mood of His Majesty the King with such a trivial matter. Coupled with the golden pelican's statement, they naturally applauded with understanding.
......
Yes, what can I teach this prince?
His gaze swept over the faces armed with false smiles, and those unanimous thoughts followed the tentacles of thought into his mind. So Edward couldn't help but ask himself.
Well, seriously, it does teach a lot.
Almost centuries ahead of this plane...... But what's the point of those things: to start an industrial revolution that will push this feudal society into the capitalist age?
So, what is the actual purpose of this reward from His Majesty the King?
Edward moved his lips. But at this time, His Majesty the King clapped his hands, as if what had just been announced was nothing more than an inconsequential matter, and then His Majesty threw down a large number of surprised courtiers whose eyes were full of doubts, and turned and walked to his exclusive place, as if he had no interest in explaining at all.
The melodious music and the noisy crowd formed the prelude to the grand feast, and Edward could only retreat a little to make way for a group of ladies who had begun to dance.
In order to show favor to his teacher, he shook his head, that is simply a pit sacrifice to the sky, will a ** teacher care about the title of his apprentice?
It's a good position to read with you, but there doesn't seem to be such an official title in this world, and in fact, if you really need a character to accompany His Royal Highness the Prince, it shouldn't be the position of a teacher, it's too public.
Or, is it another pubic hair from Lord Jasper?
With layers of questions in his mind, Edward walked through the tables and picked out a few snacks for himself.
Removing the initial surprise, it was a banquet with no novelty, and the long table in the corner was full of exotic dishes. The richly dressed aristocratic ladies shuttled between the plates, moving the meal gracefully, chatting with the strangers around them from time to time, and dancing with a nearby man whenever the dance music sounded. Countless maids and waiters weaved through the crowd, and the noise echoed through the hall
Just go back and forget it.
With this in mind, he walked around a few tables and into a corner of the hall where not many people were paying attention, where three or two old men with small family crests were whispering, but apparently not interested in accosting him. But before he could start thinking about it, the other protagonist of the incident seemed to easily sabotage his efforts.
"What a small surprise, Lord Edward. โ
His Royal Highness the Prince arrived with a glass of wine, and when he saw Eduardo, the young man had a familiar look - he remembered that James would always smile when he blocked the chimney of the old blacksmith in town as a child, or stole the fur pants of the bakery's daughter: "Well, my trainer, I hope that you will be able to teach you often, and without hesitation, in the future." โ
"Your Highness is too polite. โ
Edward said indifferently, now that I think about it, the one who can play a major role in this matter may be his 'student', after all, his previous blackmail is a bit big, if that demon wolf has a good relationship with this little ghost. Then maybe this position is a trap for yourself.
However, there did not seem to be much sinister in the mind of this highness - after the loss of the cross bead, he did not seem to be in a hurry to replenish it, so that what should have been a secret mind did not have too many secrets in front of the psychic magician.
At least his mentality of winning over relationships is genuine.
"Alas...... ้xiร is really too anxious, he has been like this since before, or. It is precisely because of his wisdom that he is so ...... Let's be decisive, but that's it. It's less fun," said His Royal Highness the Prince, with an exaggerated look of boredom, "I thought I would be able to find some interesting common ground with you." As a result, now you can only do that. โ
"So, what kind of interesting topics do you want to talk about?" said Edward.
However, at this time, there seems to be some change in the crowd
Sweeping over the crowd of people who were walking towards him, the psychic sorcerer's eyes narrowed slightly.
There were men and women, but without exception, they all wore luxurious robes, especially the colorful coats of arms representing the family, which were magnificent - although heraldic studies were not very good, Edward's good eyesight had made him immediately notice the four-leaf alfalfa marks on several coats of arms, and even a rare shadow orchid...... As a mark for the Five Rings Mage. It is also a proof that you have really touched the high-level of the magic network. The rest is a symbol of family and merit.
"Your Royal Highness. โ
A crowd saluted the prince, and a tall fellow stepped out of the crowd. He had a pale and handsome face, exuding the air of a nobleman, but a thin layer of powder could not hide some blue eye bags, and the sloppy eyes showed that it was not because of the study of magic, but seemed to be a long absurd life. Bring his mark.
"Lord Edward. He narrowed his eyes and smiled strangely, "Congratulations on becoming the mentor of His Royal Highness the Prince." โ
"His Majesty seems to have a great appreciation for your wisdom, but I wonder if you have given us ordinary people a little guidance?"
"About what?"
The aristocracy is undoubtedly lucky, they start higher than the average person, and it is much easier to achieve it than the average person. Some of them who have magical talents can undoubtedly be called the pride of the sky...... Relying on the power relationship of the family, even if the qualifications are not very good, they can directly become a mage apprentice, and on some issues such as spell teaching, they are not easy to be troubled, so in their eyes, the mystery of the spellcaster is naturally exhausted, and they can release some electric fireballs, in their opinion, they are a successful mage, as for what spell research, exploring the mystery, it is not within their consideration...... In fact, there is some fairness in magic, or it is also reflected in this, for the aristocracy, like the commoners, is usually nothing more than a novice......
At best, they can stay in the realm of touching the fifth ring of the magic net, but they are not very powerful, because they lack the experience of fighting, and even some experienced mages who can only cast three-ring spells will end up hating, in the words that Edward knows, that is, the so-called bottle is less than half a bottle shake.
But they are often the most domineering of the mages.
"It's not a field, we just want to see your wisdom?" the leader gave a mocking sneer.
"Wisdom is naturally omnipresent, and the ancient sages advocated the great wisdom hidden in the ordinary in the inadvertent. The other guy added, not relenting at all: "I think Your Excellency Edward should know more about this than we do. โ
Edward couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, there was really no technical content in arguing with these guys.
"They're the national mages in charge of security here, but they're just a bunch of useless guys, and it's okay to teach them a lesson. His Royal Highness raised his glass gracefully, as if tasting the delicacy of the liquor, but a hint of sound reached Edward's ears.
"But ladies and gentlemen, wisdom is not something that appears at will, and since you want to see, shouldn't you ...... What do you do, how about working for Lord Edward?"
The Psychic Warlock couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Well, since everybody says so, I'll talk about my own opinions. He said, "Let's take the way we drink and feast here." โ
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Although they keep saying that wisdom is hidden in the ordinary, but that is just a difficult excuse, no one will find anything here that can reflect wisdom, they originally wanted to lead the topic to magic, after all, this little ghost in front of him is an apprentice of a ** master, at such an age, he can have, I'm afraid there is only that little spell-casting ability.
And they are also confident in this aspect...... At least you won't lose to a little imp who only seems to have come into contact with the two-ring magic net.
But what can a banquet embody?
"Banquets always bring all the dishes, the table is full, it looks very rich, the problem is that there is too much food, it is impossible to eat it quickly, the food will become cold, and most of the fish and meat will taste far worse once they are cold. โ
Edward spoke slowly.
"Not only that, but most of them will be left and eventually divided among the attendants, which is not only a luxury, but also a waste...... This must also be counted in the original sin, right?" the prince wasted no time in adding, "Then Lord Edward, what is your opinion on this?"
"The simple way is to divide it, not as a whole plate of food, but as the most essential part of it,"
Edward smiled and picked up a knife from the table next to him.
Not one, but one, he swiped casually, and more than ten knives were held in his hand: "Reduce the amount of dishes, but continue to serve them one by one, so that the guests can eat enough." And because the amount of each dish is small, after eating, the plate can be removed, which can be kept clean and less waste. Don't think it's very little, in fact, in a place where a banquet is held every day, this can save at least a third of the expenses. โ
The group of mages fell silent, not because of the imp's wordsโthough that was definitely a good idea.
Their eyes involuntarily fell on the little ghost's hand, and more than ten table knives were melting into the shape of water droplets, and then gradually shaped......
Instantaneous Five Ring Spells...... (To be continued......)
