Chapter 276 Those who go with the flow will prosper (44)

night.

Rosen held a welcome banquet in the lord's castle.

The guest of honor is naturally Sophia, the magic master, and Sir Phoebe, who has come all the way to seek refuge.

Because Rosen was already a baron, he sat at the head of the long table, with his wife Thrandis beside him.

Accompanying her on the right are Gendeloni, as well as two direct apprentices, Bernard Shaw and Vandamont.

On the table, everyone else's food was cooked by the chef, but Sophia's food was prepared by Rosen himself, ensuring easy absorption of nutrients and delicious taste.

Sofia took a sip of the light but delicious silver saury meat and said with a smile: "I went to the highest point of the castle and looked around carefully. I have to say that you put a lot of effort into building this Crescent Town."

"Compared with Crescent Town, I feel that Silver Moon Castle is very dirty, like a dirty man full of body odor."

Phoebe felt the same way. He took a sip of moonshine wine and said with a smile: "Master said this, then Winter City is a dirty and brutal orc."

Thrandis nodded in agreement with Phoebe: "I have the same idea. I feel that Winter City is like a cruel, dark and cold prison."

Gendeloni laughed: "The Duke must be very sad to hear these comments."

Phoebe shrugged.

"The Duke has no time to mind his own business recently, but I still have to say that this Duke is not only arrogant, but also has an incomprehensible collecting habit."

"He never cares about what others think, let alone respects others. As long as he thinks it is good, he must get it and hold it firmly in his hand. Even if the thing is rotten in his hand, he will never let go."

Sofia nodded in agreement: "Mage Phoebe's summary is very insightful. The Duke is such a person."

Speaking of this, her face showed a look of memory.

"When I was young, probably more than thirty years ago, I was summoned by the Duke because of my achievements in magic."

"That summons made me feel very depressed."

"In my opinion, the Duke simply regards me as a beautiful object for collection. If I hadn't used some tricks, I might not have been able to leave Winter City."

Rosen was a little curious: "Master, what's the trick?"

Sophia narrowed her eyes and smiled without hiding it.

"To be precise, the Duke has a hobby of collecting perfect things. Once the thing is not perfect, he will immediately lose interest and even feel disgusted."

"I thought at the time that he was just interested in my talent in magic, so I just had to act clumsier."

"So, I made a big fool of myself while casting the spell in front of him, and even hurt myself."

"After I recovered from my injury, the Duke never summoned me again, and ignored me, as if I didn't exist."

This sounds simple, but it still requires a lot of skill to use a magic trick that is beyond the Duke's perception and appears to be natural.

Rosen felt that he had to spend time practicing, maybe it would come in handy in the future.

Sophia sensed Rosen's thoughts and smiled: "I have done a lot of research on this type of controllable spell errors, and I will share them with you when I have time."

Rosen praised: "What a great idea."

After that, Sophia looked at Bernard Shaw and Vandamont.

"You two little guys, they both look quite smart. As elders, I will give you a greeting gift."

Nodding to Emma who was standing behind her, Emma handed over two spell books, which were extraordinary low-level spells created by her.

The two young magic apprentices stood up quickly to thank them.

After the two apprentices sat down, Rosen announced the news of opening a law school.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Sophia: "Master, I have to keep a low profile, so I want to invite you to be the honorary dean of the college."

Sophia is all-powerful: "I can do it, but I won't do it for you."

"Of course I won't let you take care of things. But if you get bored, you can chat with some smart and talented juniors to relieve your boredom."

Sophia thinks it's good. As people get older, they like to be more lively.

"This is a good idea. Have you considered the specific situation of the academy?"

"Think about it."

All the mages here will have a relationship with the academy in the future, so Rosen started to introduce them directly.

"I plan to build the college next to the Crescent Reservoir. Firstly, it is convenient for water use. Secondly, because the land is pure mountain land and is very barren. It would be a pity to use it to build a college."

In fact, there is a third idea, which is to let the college show him the reservoir, but this is not enough for outsiders.

"The academy is divided into two parts."

"They are the research department and the teaching department respectively."

"As for the Research Department, as long as we have good ideas, we will invest in building laboratories. We currently plan to build four alchemy laboratories, element laboratories, life laboratories and magic laboratories."

"The teaching department is temporarily divided into three departments, namely the flow department, the gravity department and the petrochemical department. Each department can accept a maximum of about 2,000 people."

Although Sophia said she didn't care, she really had no time to spare, so she listened carefully.

It was fine at first, but after hearing the last sentence, he said: "Are there too many students? With so many students, if the graduation rate is too low, it will greatly affect the reputation of the college."

A student who graduates from a magic school can usually obtain the official status of a mage, but this status is noble and obviously cannot be given too much.

Rosen explained carefully.

"Master, I actually have a new idea, that is, the academy is only responsible for training, not graduation."

Sofia was never one to rest on her laurels. Feeling that there was something new in it, she immediately said, "Huh? It's interesting. Please tell me carefully."

Rosen immediately began his introduction.

"I heard that the number of orcs on the vast junction plain has reached 80 million, and the power of the Beast God King Tynebo has also reached a very astonishing level."

"Although due to the terrain, there is only a relatively narrow valley connecting the Golden Land and the Junction Plain, the orcs are tenacious and brave. Once a war breaks out, it will be very tragic."

"By then, the attrition of personnel participating in the war will be very fast, and the demand for all types of talents will be very high."

"So, I think we should not stick to the status of a formal mage at this time, but should cultivate talents first."

"The more cultivation ground the better, so as not to be caught off guard when needed."

Sofia nodded slowly and praised: "You have a very long-term vision and you should indeed prepare in advance. After all, even if you can win the war with a group of farmers, the losses will be very heavy."

Rosen continued: "As for the issue of informal magic casting, my idea is to use the reputation of the academy to perform part of the guaranteed spell casting."

"Partial guarantee?"

Another new word.

Rosen explained in detail.

"Non-graduate mages can only cast spells in school."

"Only after graduation can you perform spellcasting in the professional field you studied and in situations where work requires it. The time and place for spellcasting must be reported every year."

Sophia thought deeply: "It seems feasible, but it will harm the interests of the official mages. I'm afraid the mages' guild will not agree to the academy doing this."

Rosen naturally thought of this.

“The idea is that because the college provides a casting guarantee, one-tenth of a graduate’s income goes to the college.”

"And this income, after deducting the basic organizational maintenance expenses, will be submitted to the Mage Guild for distribution to official mages."

"Then, due to the expansion of the mage group and the expansion of spell application fields, the overall income of the guild has actually increased significantly."

"I think the Mages Guild has no reason to object."

"In addition, because you do not directly become an official mage after graduating from the academy, the tuition fees will be greatly reduced. However, because the number of apprentices has increased significantly, the total income of the academy has still increased significantly."

Sophia completely understood the core of Rosen's words.

"By doing this, you have greatly lowered the threshold for learning spells. In the foreseeable future, the number of mages will increase significantly. I am afraid that a new, very powerful social force will be formed."

After a pause, she whispered: "This power may overturn the existing magic system in the Golden Land."

Sure enough, old age is still the best, and Sophia understood Rosen's true thoughts at a glance.

Rosen whispered: "Master, will you support me?"

Sophia thought carefully and nodded.

"As magic continues to develop, changes will always come. This was already doomed from the moment the logic system appeared."

"God announced his retirement and gradually promoted the status of the mage. I'm afraid he has similar thoughts."

"So, your actions are in compliance with God's will and the surging current of this era."

"Although my body is old, my heart is not."

"If I could do it over again, I would definitely jump into this torrent and add fuel to the flames, so that the power of my human race can achieve a real leap and stand on the top of the world forever."

"So, of course I will support you."

Rosen let out a long breath, stood up and bowed deeply to Sophia: "The human race is really lucky to have a master like you."

The other mages also stood up and said in unison: "Salute to the master!"

Sofia was in a very happy mood and said with a smile: "We are chatting at the dinner. Don't be so formal. Let's all sit down."

She looked at Rosen: "But my body is still old, and at best I can only be a check. The specific matters still depend on you young people."

Rosen smiled: "Of course I won't let Master worry about such trivial matters."

"I can rest assured when you do things. Unlike Chapollet, he always thinks about things and never looks far ahead."

Rosen just laughed.

"When uncle's child is born, let him learn magic. When the child grows up, he will become a magic master, and uncle will have someone to take care of him."

Gendeloni giggled on the side: "Rosen, why do you feel that the count gave birth to a father instead of a son?"

As soon as this was said, everyone at the table laughed.

At this banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After the banquet, Rosen began to fulfill his duties as a mentor and taught two direct apprentices for an hour and a half before resting with his two wives.

After lying on the bed, we chatted for a few words and then started playing the game of firewood.

While playing around, Rosen started to want to have a child.

why?

First, the baron needs an heir to stabilize the hearts of the people. After all, these days, the continuation of the bloodline is important, and there is no future in following an unparalleled lord.

It's okay for one or two years, but if there is no offspring for more than ten years, people in the territory will be panicked.

A truly outstanding lord would not allow this hidden danger to develop to the point where it cannot be ended.

The second reason is that in the afternoon, he tested the absolute magic talents of the two women.

As a result, Thrandis and Gendeloni were both as high as master level 9, and they didn't just barely break through level 9, they had broken through a lot.

Especially Thrandis, it felt like he was about to explode.

Judging from Vivian's findings, mana bubble inheritance is similar to mitochondrial inheritance and belongs to maternal inheritance.

In other words, the child's magical talents follow the mother's.

It would be a pity that such an outstanding magic bloodline would not be passed on to his children.

Naturally, there were no secrets between husband and wife, so Rosen shared his thoughts with the two women.

Thrandis's face suddenly showed a hint of sadness, and his eyes were a little red.

"I also really want one of our children, not many, just one."

“Too bad God seems unwilling to give it to us.”

They had been together for almost a year and had fought a lot, but she still didn't have a child, so she felt a little desperate.

Gendeloni also had some ideas and sighed.

"Hey, they say female mages don't deserve to have children. I didn't feel it when I heard this sentence before, but now I feel uncomfortable."

Rosen laughed: "Girls, don't worry, I'll ask God for one."

Thrandis's eyes lit up and he was dubious: "God still cares about this matter."

Gendeloni said: "I vaguely heard that God really does care, but it seems that there must be deep divine grace. But how to do it specifically is not clear."

Rosen snapped his fingers: "You go to bed first, I will go to the temple to ask questions now."

Thrandis said: "It's too late today, how about we go tomorrow?"

Rosen had already started to get dressed.

"It's okay. My divine grace is very profound. God will not blame me."

He quickly went out and soon lay on Sister Weena's bed.

Weena was woken up from her sleep and was still a little confused: "Baron, why are you here at this time?"

"I haven't seen you for a month. I miss you."

Wei Na's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, most of her sleepiness disappeared, and her whole body felt a little hot.

"I miss you too."

Don't waste a moment and get down to business.

According to past rules, you will usually be summoned in five minutes.

Today, I don’t know what happened. It’s been fifteen minutes and I haven’t been called yet.

"Is there something wrong with Alfruya?"

If he doesn't call me, he will be finished.

Just then, the summons appeared.

His vision went dark and then brightened, and he appeared at the door of the White Jade Hall.

Alfroya stood in the main hall with a very serious face, as if something big had happened.

Rosen was slightly shocked: "Saint, isn't it related to Vivian?"

Subconsciously I felt that Vivian had done something bad.

Alfroya was startled: "Vivian? No, it has nothing to do with her. She has been very honest recently."

Rosen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But Alfroya's next words brought his heart to his throat.

"I suddenly realized that God the Father may not be here anymore."

Well, this is a hundred times more serious than Vivian's matter.

No, ten thousand times!
