Chapter Seventy-Three: Other People's Stories 2
To understand this history, one key figure cannot be bypassed, Eduard Astadt, whose father is not outstanding even among ordinary people except for a beautiful face and a mouth that can speak, but his mother is very famous in Morslaw in the First Firmament World, because she is the eldest of the famous "Seven Sisters of Astartt" or "Seven Sisters of Fire", Duchess of Astadt- The seven sisters born to this mother are all official mages of the fire system, with a violent temperament and willful behavior, especially the eldest one, who disappointed countless suitors when she married ordinary people, no one dared to say a word.
Even the ordinary man who had the misfortune of being chosen by her as her husband could only secretly vent his dissatisfaction, which soon bore fruit.
Duchess Astarte spent her short and glorious life recklessly, disappearing into the sky like a meteor, leaving behind an orphan named Edward, who had barely had time to change into his mother's mourning clothes, and his father openly brought his stepwife and his younger brother, who was a few months younger than him, before him, and made his years of dissatisfaction public, as if the Astartt domain and title were not his temporary management on Edward's behalf, but as if the Duchess had bequeathed it to him.
He and his current wife take it all for granted.
Of course, if the ten-year-old Eduard Astadt didn't exist...... It's an easy thing to do.
A ten-year-old kid! Even if he already has the strength of a full-fledged mage, he should be easily killed by dozens of money-hired killers!
And it doesn't seem to have to be that complicated! They had been in the Duke's palace for half a day, and Edward had disappeared from the Duke's palace, as if it had never existed...... That was until they were told that Edward Astartt had appeared in the capital of Morsfa.
What is he doing there? Is it looking for his relatives to complain about their grievances?
Although the newlyweds who have been together for many years feel that the Astartt Territory has nothing to do with Edward, perhaps those relatives who are officials and kings will be confused for a while! This is not a trivial matter, even if it is finally redeemed, the time, money and connections spent during this period are a terrible amount to think about!
The informant smiled slightly, as if he had seen their stupidity: "A month later is the day when the newcomers pass the upgrade test and are recognized as official mages in front of the emperor, once they are recognized as official mages, not only ordinary people and even untouchables can have complete aristocratic status, and-"
No matter how young you are, you are immediately an "adult" in civil affairs, and you no longer need any "guardian" to "manage" on your behalf.
When the time comes, he will not need any relatives to be kings, and he will be able to throw a shovel into the dung heap outside the door of the family who have stepped into the ducal palace with pride!
Thinking of this, they no longer spared money, squandered it to their heart's content, and hired a large number of thugs, but there was one thing that made this ordinary couple a little uneasy, that is, they seemed to have hired killers who were too good at it, and many of the guards of the Duke's Palace with considerable status were not as neatly dressed as them and walked with the wind.
A month later, in the upgrade test in front of the Emperor, there was not a single child, and the youngest of the thirty-one new official mages that day was seventeen-year-old Jaco, a recognized promising genius.
It was much later that it was discovered that that day was the day when Edward, surrounded by killers hired by his own father, had no way to enter the Necromantic Academy, and when he stepped on the Netherworld Skull Bridge leading to the Necromantic Academy at the bottom of the Moonset Star, he could look back and see the magnificent fireworks set off in the capital to celebrate the passing of the new mages passing the test, and those fireworks illuminated the surface of the Sea of Plentiure like flowing gold, eclipsing the pleasure boats of the rich and noble on the sea, surrounded by gold, silver and flowers, and all the princes and nobles who participated in the grand eventThe common people were all intoxicated, but no one knew if he had turned back that day except himself......
Although there is no inscription on the skull gate of the Necronomicon Academy, "Those who enter this gate give up all hope", even the kindest and most ignorant people of Morslaw know that entering the Necromantic Academy has a high chance of becoming a spell casting material.
In fact, they are still too ignorant and kind, in the Necromantic Academy, it is the lucky ones who can get away with leaving complete organs for others to study, and most of them can leave a "puddle" It would be good.
Therefore, at a time when other colleges have to charge high tuition, Necromantic Academy doesn't even have an entrance exam.
What kind of entrance exam? All the people who came in were ...... No, it's all materials that might have survived! If one of them came voluntarily, they wouldn't have to come to the door to catch it, oh no, they went to collect one! Seriously, the reputation of the Necromantic Academy is so bad, it's not all because of the rumors of the elemental wizards.
Since there is no entrance exam, Edward Astartt has quietly become a mere freshman of the Necromantic Academy without any identification and casually reported Edmund, and the Necromantic Academy itself is extremely xenophobic and does not communicate with the world, so tired that his father and his father's new wife sit on the Astartat territory for the next ten years, never even sleep well, have not had a good meal, and think hard every day whether he is dead or alive, whether he should continue to hire killers or stop wasting money- And Edward Astadt not only completed his studies at the Necromantic Academy during this period, but also participated in many researches during this period, even the highest level of research in the Necromantic Academy, that is, the secret that Hua Lin was ordered to go to the Second Firmament World to spy on, artificially increasing the chance of the birth of a wizard.
Edward Astartt, who is not yet twenty years old, played a key role in this study, and if this is the record of the First Firmament, then it can be said to be a boast or a malicious rumor, but this is a record of the Second Firmament, so it can only be said that it may be the truth.
According to the records of the Second Firmament, Edward Astarte was trusted by the Necromancer higher-ups because of his outstanding performance in this research, and was able to learn about the world crisis of the First Firmament.
The higher-ups also promised him a comfortable place in the New World when the time came, and let him choose dozens of random ones from among the personnel controlled by the academy to be his future pregnant mothers.
However, Eduard Astartt had his own plans.
