'Step aside, what qualifications do you, a rough warrior, have to judge the great wizard?'
The little girl was not happy, not caring in the slightest about the big black Hilman's face, and bluntly just reprimanded so.
'Hmph!' Hilman also just grunted in protest, and then ... very sensibly backed up a few steps.
It seems that warriors, by nature, are somewhat in awe of wizards. Even an intermediate warrior like Uncle Hilman ...
'What's your name?'
'Caelan, and you?'
'Fiona! Are you also going to the royal capital to pursue your studies? Warrior, or wizard?'
'I would like to become a wizard, I wonder if I have that magic qualification?'
'That's true, the qualification of a wizard is very rare. When I was five years old, I detected that I have the talent of a wind wizard, and my Mental Energy and magic affinity are both moderate talents...'
It seems that this little girl's family is a great noble or something like that. Otherwise, how could it test out its own qualifications as a wizard?
Caelan also didn't know why this little girl was so chatty with himself, didn't she look down on warriors? Moreover, with Caelan's current dress, very old fashioned ... children of noble origins, shouldn't they look down on their own such hick origins?
'Fiona, why do you want to go to the royal capital when your family can learn magic?'
'Hick, don't understand. Wizard Grimoire feats and spells above 4-level are only available in the royal capital. I'm a genius, I'll definitely become an intermediate wizard.'
It seems that the monopoly level of wizards is even higher. The local nobles have Warrior Codex for intermediate warriors, and it's okay to train full-fledged warriors. With intermediate wizards, it would be impossible to train them!
'Didn't we say it's free? Why is there still so much tuition?'
Caelan was depressed, the Eldoria School of Magic and Wizardry cost 10,000 Gold Coins a year in tuition fees. Gluya Town would be lucky to have at most a dozen Gold Coins left from its yearly income.
'Idiot, Wizard Grimoire 1-3 levels are taught for free, of course the tuition fee has to be paid, otherwise, what would a Wizard Teacher eat?'
That's true! How could one who can be a Wizard Teacher work for free?
The Nostferatu Imperial Warrior Academy also required tuition. Even though it wasn't as expensive as the Magic Eldoria School, three thousand Gold Coins a year still had to be paid.
'Then wouldn't civilians without money be unable to study Wizard Grimoire and Warrior Codex in the King's Capital?'Caelan asked unwillingly, the nobles have money, but, after all, the noble children are a minority.
'There are still a lot of commoner children in the Eldoria School of Magic, no money? Simple ah! Sign a loan contract with the royal family ah.'
Caelan understood, that civilians without money want to enter the academy to study, and there is bound to be a price, presumably, or to be loyal, sell their bodies contract, and so on.
Caelan looked helplessly at Hilman beside him. Unexpectedly, Hilman gave Caelan a reassuring look. Huh? This Uncle Hilman still a rich man? Well, at least being an intermediate warrior, there should be some petty cash.
'Hick, I knew you didn't have any money. What? How about this girl finances your tuition?'
'Do what? Fiona, what do you want me to give you allegiance in the future?'
'No? I think you're not bad looking, in the future, you'll be my knight's squire, what's wrong with that?'
Stinky woman, clearly doesn't believe she has the talent of a wizard. The warriors of this world, ninety nine percent of their destinations are to serve as squires to nobles or wizards. Either ... as a bandit? For example, that bandit leader was a 4-level warrior.
Nostferatu Imperial Warrior Academy, even if you are a noble son or a rich man, once you reach the 4-level warrior rank, you face a new choice. Either to be loyal to the royal family or to submit to a certain noble (return to the family).
In the warrior school in the royal capital, most of the students would choose to be loyal to the royal family. After all, the conditions given by the local nobles could not be more favorable than the royal family. For trainees of warrior schools with good qualifications and great potential, it was possible for the royal family to even give them knighthoods; the best that local nobles could give to a warrior was something like Lyle, where having a territory would be the top of the list.
'If I become an advanced warrior?'
Caelan had a defiant look on his face.
'Haha ...' Fiona's stomach hurt from laughing.
'Hmph!' Caelan was depressed, The Nostferatu Empire, several hundred million people, a total of just one advanced warrior, the difficulty is super high oh, 'I want to be a wizard!'
'Eldoria School of Magic and Wizardry is not just for anyone, Mental Energy and Elemental Affinity, at least one moderate or above will do. Otherwise, you can only practice at home by yourself, huh!'
There was also this saying? That's right, isn't the Baron of Windmere Castle a 2-level wizard, cultivating at home in his own Baron's collar? It is said that the Baron is already more than sixty years old, there is not much magic cultivation potential, and this life is impossible to advance to the intermediate wizard.
Whether you practice magic or combat energy for warriors, fighting for social status is one aspect; the most important aspect is to increase longevity. Wizards less than intermediate, can not increase life to 100 years, spirit and body again good, at most more than ordinary people live ten years.
What thing all pay attention to a cultivation qualification, warrior combat energy is the same reason, before the age of fifty to cultivate does not advance a warrior, potential to use up, this life has no hope. The warrior's combat strength is again strong, and physical fitness is again good, roughly than ordinary people live more than ten years only.
How long can ordinary people live? The poor people in Gluya Town would be lucky to live to sixty years old, and the rich people with enough nutrition would be lucky to live to eighty years old.
There were too few cultivators with good qualifications, even for 4-level wizards, there were no more than twenty or so in The Nostferatu Empire.
Theoretically, Fiona's Mental Energy and Elemental Affinity had both reached moderate, it was indeed a superb qualification, a proper genius reserve seedling for future intermediate wizards.
'Young man, your warrior cultivation talent is not bad either!'
Huh? There's someone behind this carriage?
'Grandpa Larsson, how do you know?'Fiona curiously asked and answered.
'Because the combat energy this child cultivates is the same as mine, it's all fire-type.'As he spoke, the door panel at the back of the carriage opened, and a white-bearded old man appeared.
'I cultivate combat energy?'Caelan had a confused look on his face, how come I don't know myself?
'Your combat energy is very pure, the Warrior Codex should be very advanced, otherwise, before the age of ten, it is impossible to cultivate warrior combat energy.'
Larsson looked at Caelan with a smile.
'Sir!'
A few meters behind, Hilman, who was riding the mule assigned by the merchant team, tensed up.
'Don't worry, advanced Warrior Codex techniques almost always require a special bloodline, or a special physique to work. Besides, this old man of mine is a handful of years old, what are you worried about me stealing this kid's gong method? Hehe!'Larsson said with a smile.
'Uncle Hilman, I've cultivated Warrior Codex?'Caelan asked curiously.
'It should ... be.'Hilman didn't know what to say.
'Is it the Baron's Warrior Codex?'Caelan asked curiously, didn't it say that without the 'master's permission, knights can't teach Warrior Codex in private?
'Ha ha!'Hilman scoffed.
