Cruz leaves the Oval Office.
The duke seldom got things in his hands.
‘How did you see through?’
The weakening of influence due to the standardization of technology has been a problem that has been predicted for a long time.
It was something that even closed families went through.
But that wasn’t the real problem.
It was a problem with the forces that skillfully attacked this.
‘Even in the royal palace, this situation would not be openly written.’
The attack continued steadily.
The same central duke family.
Other forces under their orders.
The royal family who coveted the duke’s power.
Nevertheless, the Rothstein family persevered.
‘but… … It’s the limit now.’
Wealth and power lead to responsibility for society, so don’t ignore it.
I have been trying not to forget the spirit of the nobility that has been passed down from long ago.
But the reality was not so rosy.
‘To pinpoint this situation… … .’
It is possible if you have a lot of practical experience and have a political sense.
It’s not easy, but the approximate information in the palace’s residence is enough to pinpoint.
But it was the 2 princes who did this.
His personality is as evil as Prince 1’s, and he’s not cruel.
Throwing away the responsibilities of the royal family, he was evaluated as indolent and foolish.
I couldn’t help but be surprised that the two princes had pinpointed this point.
It seemed that he had changed into a person with a completely different intelligence and personality.
‘If, instead of showing the same image as in the past, if you really show potential in the installation of the crown prince… … .’
There were many reasons why Leon and other nobles declared neutrality.
A significant reason among them was the nature of the first prince.
‘1 Prince is a person who should not stand on top.’
However, another prince could not be an alternative because the second prince was a prodigal child who only liked to play.
The 3rd prince had a good temperament, but he was overly checked by the 1st prince and lacked ambition.
Because of this, there were many who thought that the three princes were solid, but lacked the character that a person at the top should possess.
While I was thinking like that, the day dawned before I knew it.
After a long thought, the duke went outside.
Outside, there were Cruz who was about to leave, Alan who came to meet him, and servants.
They couldn’t hide their surprise.
The Duke, who hadn’t even come to meet me until yesterday, showed up.
Alan and the servants were naturally nervous in this situation.
The duke politely bowed and bowed.
“Forgive me for yesterday’s rudeness, poor Cruz.”
“… … !”
The others were all surprised by the duke’s attitude.
I answered with a smile.
“I don’t know what you mean, I can’t remember anything rude.”
“Thank you for your generous consideration.”
After the greeting, the duke calmly continued.
“I will keep in mind what you said yesterday and keep an eye on it.”
Not understanding what the duke said, Alan tilted his head.
It was the same that other users did not understand.
But unlike them, I understood and replied with a smile.
“I will come again.”
I let out a small breath as I rode the maga prepared by the servants.
‘Somehow, everything I planned came true.’
After returning from Ireland Forest and receiving the elixir, the next destination I decided was Hasla.
A place where the talents of the kingdom gather, using an entire area as an academy.
I decided that there was no other place that would help me build a foundation as I grew up.
‘In the midst of that, Alan came to visit.’
Alan was also having problems with his admission to Hasla, so he thought of visiting him.
In the midst of that, he came to visit me on his own, so I saved time in many ways.
‘I left a good impression on the Duke of Rothstein, and Alan’s persuasion is over, so I just need to prepare for admission.’
Upon learning of the Rothstein family’s situation, Alan couldn’t hide his shock in many ways.
He said he would think for a day and answer, but this morning he announced his intention to go to Hasla.
[Yesterday was very satisfying. Hang out with him often, Cruz.]
‘Can’t we just fill it with something like candy in moderation? Do I have to go looking for a dessert like that?’
[Then you should only eat uncooked ingredients.]
‘How does that connect?’
[Same word for me.]
By the time the quarrel with Skadi was over, we arrived at the palace.
Heading to the holiday center, I waited for someone while sitting in a suitable place.
“The weather is nice today.”
Yeonhyuwon, located to the west of the palace, is divided into spaces for training and relaxation.
I was now in a space where I could rest.
It was very nice to be in the warm sun.
“Here.”
And soon after, I saw a man running hurriedly from afar.
He was none other than the second-class court mage, Lapis, who went to the island forest together.
“Hey, low! You said you found God… … .”
“Yeah, just sit down.”
From nob le mt l dot com
Lapis carefully sat down.
At the same time, a sense of restlessness was evident.
I lied in the forest of Ireland and passed on without saying anything, but I was called out of nowhere, so I guess it’s like this.
“Lapis, I want to ask you some questions.”
“Yes, lower. Ask me anything.”
“I’m trying to enter Hasla.”
“yes? Hasla… … ah!”
He got up from his seat as if he had remembered something, and suddenly got up.
“I heard that you reached 3 stars with the elixir bestowed by His Majesty. Congratulations, low.”
“Ok, thanks.”
“It’s amazing that a 2-star wizard can safely handle an A-class elixir, but to get to 3-star in one go. This will go down in history… … .”
From nob le mt l dot com
Lapis’s praise never ended.
It was about how great my talent was and how great I had done.
Skadi, who hadn’t heard, intervened.
[Stop hanging up and get to the point. What do you like about obvious flattery?]
‘It’s flattery, isn’t it all true? Nice to hear.’
[Tsk tsk… … .]
… … Well, it was right that I had to get to the point, so I cut off Lapis’ compliments and said.
“For admission, you only need to submit an application form, but then you have to go through cumbersome procedures, right?”
The conditions for admission to the combat academy in Hasla were as follows.
Must be 13 years of age or older and 18 years of age or older with a 3-star status.
However, this was only a qualification to submit an application for admission, not a condition for acceptance.
There was also a process to check if they had the potential to enter.
“Yes, it usually takes half a year to validate the process. It could be longer.”
“Yeah, I want to skip that.”
There were several ways to skip this step.
I was asking Lapis about it now.
He is currently a court mage, but before that, he had a career as Hasla’s instructor.
“hmm… … There are many ways, but the overall essence is this. You just have to have a career that doesn’t need validation.”
“Hmm, then is there any way I can skip this verification?”
“Not really. but… … .”
It was the appearance of Lapis who was moxibustion.
There is a way, but it felt a bit reluctant to tell me.
“Okay, what is it?”
“… … You will receive the certificate of the Mage Tower.”
Unlike the Feyer Continent, the concept of the Mage Tower existed in the Kingdom of Grandets.
This is with the Feyer continent, which manages the family’s vision in a closed manner.
It was a difference that came from the background of growing power as a nation after being invaded.
The Magic Tower was an institution built in various places to train wizards.
“Can I get that certificate right away?”
“It is possible, as long as the owner of the mage tower has permission.”
There were three mage towers in the kingdom.
The central tower in the capital, the eastern tower in the east, and the southern tower in the south.
Branches branching off from these three towers existed all over the kingdom.
There were only three mage towers that were treated as the main building: central, eastern, and southern.
“Is it because of my past?”
“… … Yes that’s right.”
2 The prince had a relationship with the central mage tower in the capital.
I’ve been trained at the Mage’s Tower.
‘But he messed up again.’
At that time, the teaching was carried out by the central mage master himself.
2 The prince did not listen to lessons properly and was busy playing.
In the end, he even drank alcohol inside the tower and damaged some of the facilities.
“Is there any other way?”
“It’s not impossible, but this is the only thing that can be done within the remaining period.”
“Yeah, thanks for letting me know.”
From nob le mt l dot com
Leaving the perplexed Lapis behind, he went outside.
‘The past that the two princes messed with is bothering me.’
The mage tower had a strong tendency to be like a public institution that only cared about the development of the kingdom, away from the profit of the group.
As a result, it was possible to go against authority to some extent for the public good.
‘Still, there must be room for help.’
Wizards of the Mage Tower were those who studied magic used in real battles.
Among the important parts of battle, experience and theory, there were many who focused on theory.
It was because of the idea that the level of magic displayed in practice would increase only when the theory was developed.
‘Considering their characteristics, my knowledge will be quite useful.’
In the past, the East Continent’s official name, Sigvarda Continent, was noticeably weaker than the Feyer Continent.
It wasn’t that all the families on the Feyer continent united and invaded, but they were greatly pushed back.
With this opportunity, the kingdom made various efforts and investments to raise the level of the entire continent.
Even so, it was still not reaching the Feyer continent.
‘Because I know most of the Lonberg family’s spells.’
In order to use magic, a formula had to be created.
In other words, it was this technique that determined the completeness and power of magic.
The wizarding families of the Feyer Continent had their own custom-adjusted or created spells.
I was very careful not to let this leak out.
However, I was born into the Ronberg family, the pinnacle of wizarding families.
That’s why I knew everything except for some secret arts that only the head of state could read.
‘Wouldn’t it be possible to get a certificate if I use this well?’
I didn’t mean to tell you everything I know.
There’s nothing more stupid than showing all your cards at once.
From nob le mt l dot com
Long, periodic exchanges will work well for me as well.
The central mage tower was located not far from the royal palace.
The tip of the spire at the top of the Magic Tower could be seen from anywhere in the capital, so it wasn’t difficult to find it.
As I walked like that, I could see the appearance of the magic tower at a glance.
‘It’s more worth seeing up close.’
Except for the Mage Tower, any building should be taller than the royal palace, and should not be taller.
It is one of the kingdom’s building laws, but the reason why the mage tower was excluded was because its purpose was public interest, not power.
Perhaps because of that, the Mage Tower seen up close boasted a different majesty than the royal palace.
There were several towers of the same height as the royal palace.
The tower in the center was exceptionally high, as if it would pierce the sky.
It was truly a skyscraper.
that buck
As I approached, a robed wizard blocked my path.
“What happened to the central mage tower… … ?”
Even at a glance, I felt that he was not a very experienced person.
‘It must be an apprentice wizard.’
The man who saw my face was astonished.
“Hey, poor Cruz?”
“I’m trying to get inside, don’t you mind?”
I smiled leisurely and headed for the front door, but the apprentice wizard firmly blocked it.
“It’s not possible.”
“why?”
“… … The tower owner has forbidden the entry of the servant.”
“okay? I’ll do the rear end, so I’ll just go in. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt you.”
“Me, low!”
While walking with such a restless apprentice wizard next to him.
“It’s been a while.”
As if to show off, a woman radiated a displeased expression and blocked the front.
“Have you reached the point where you cannot understand human speech?”
The woman in the red robe continued with her cold eyes.
“The Central Mage Tower Commands the Greek Ishche.”
She ran through her red hair, not hiding her animosity.
said me in a loud voice.
“Get out of here right now, Prince Cruz.”
Woah total disrespect, do these people not realize that he’s still a prince in name?
