Upon hearing the king's words, Aurelion was stunned for a moment, turned her head and looked around.
The surrounding nobles seemed not surprised by this sudden proposal.
But... Aurelion didn't quite understand.
Is he crazy?
Here in the kingdom, the high-level noble class is basically composed of warriors who have established their status through force.
Because they need this power to consolidate their dominance in the territory.
Therefore, the lord of a territory must be the strongest person in the territory.
This is fundamentally different from empire.
The strong men of the empire will basically guard the cities of all parties according to the orders of the empire, and they will not interfere in the management of the city.
Because the strongest person in the empire is the emperor, and all power is concentrated in the emperor.
In the empire, there are very few lords.
Including the Cravenna family, they are not lords in a substantial sense.
Although the Cravenna family once received a large piece of territory and was allowed to be named after Cravenna.
That is, the Craven Territory.
But the largest city in that territory, Brighton.
Nor is it entirely ruled by House Cravenna.
Although everyone knows that the Cravena family is the boss of Bryston.
But on the surface, the empire will still arrange for manpower to jointly manage the city with the Cravenna family.
This is the biggest difference between the national conditions of a kingdom and an empire.
In the kingdom, as long as the order in the territory remains relatively stable, there is no tendency for rebellion.
Basically, lords will not be changed at will.
In order to develop, the empire will change the mayor of a city from time to time.
A mayor's term of office may be five years or ten years, and then he will be replaced by another person.
The original mayor will naturally be promoted to a larger position after he has enough experience.
However, due to national conditions, King Canter must ensure that the lord's force is strong.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the subordinates in the territory to be convinced.
The easiest way for a civilian to be promoted is to become a warrior, and to achieve class crossing by exercising his flesh and blood body.
This has also led to the warrior profession, which is the easiest to advance to, becoming the mainstream in the kingdom.
This also led to the kingdom having a unique title system - star titles.
A lord's management ability, the reputation of the territory and his military force will all affect his star rating.
Therefore, the competition in the Kingdom of Kanter is very fierce, and it is so fierce that it is terrifying.
Precisely because the warriors were too involved, almost all other professions in the kingdom were involved.
Mages, in particular, spend a lot of time and effort accumulating knowledge.
But there is little room for success in this fierce competition.
Therefore, the mages of the kingdom simply gave up the traditional mage profession and turned to niche and remote means to pursue the power they sought.
But it's a pity that in the end, they all died on this road.
The territories are all warriors, and they must ensure that the nobles are all warriors.
But if the king tries his best to promote mages, he may even build a magic academy.
Let’s not talk about the impact this will have on the kingdom’s rule.
Anyway, for the lords, the impact is quite big.
Therefore, Aurelion took the initiative to ask the king:
"Your Majesty the King, do you know how difficult it is to train a mage?"
King August nodded, leaning back toward the throne with a smile on his face:
"Yes, I know very well."
Because there is a powerful mage in their country, that is, Grand Duke Festan Barlow.
Aurelion's expression was a little serious and she continued to ask:
"Then I want to know, if a more powerful mage appears, will you choose to give them a title?"
This is a matter of concern to almost the entire kingdom system.
Although it is difficult to produce a strong mage, under the academic education, many talents will still emerge.
Although they will not grow as quickly and have strong strength like those warriors, it is still possible for some second- and third-level mages to appear.
At this time, should the kingdom give them a title?
If not, then why do they still attend the magic academy?
Isn't the purpose of learning magic so that you can become a noble in the future and honor your ancestors?
And King August's answer was very clever.
"If their contributions can reach the corresponding star rating, they will naturally receive their corresponding treatment."
That is, the answer is given from the beginning.
In the Kingdom of Canter, competition is fierce.
Even if you are a mage, as long as you can meet the level standards of the Star-Lord system.
You can become a noble.
This seems very fair, because this is a kingdom and there is a star-lord system.
As long as you get a star, even one star, you will become a baron from a commoner.
At first glance, this may seem like nothing wrong with it, but the problem is.
In the early stage, the mages were weak and destined to be unable to compete with the powerful warriors.
After all, in the environment of the Kingdom of Kanter, there are more warriors, and they are much stronger than mages.
But don't forget one thing.
That is, the lifespan of a mage is much longer than that of a warrior.
A mage may live long enough to witness three generations of warriors.
This longevity gave them enough time to establish themselves in the kingdom's aristocratic system.
By using elemental magic regularly, the magic power will continue to flow through the meridians in the body, and the body will remain youthful and full of vitality under the nourishment of magic power.
A well-maintained mage can live for one or two hundred years without any problem.
When those old warriors died, the mages were still alive.
After that period of time, the entire kingdom's aristocratic system will probably be firmly in the hands of those old mages.
Although there are very few mages, not everyone can become a mage.
However, if you live a long time, you will have more seniority.
As long as there are a hundred old mages who have lived for more than a hundred years, how can the position of noble lords be left to those newly promoted warriors?
Why is the Kingdom of Cantor so powerful?
The reason is because there are many warriors and they transform quickly.
The threshold for being a warrior is low, which leads even civilians to dream of becoming a warrior voluntarily.
Although commoners don't know how long they have to work hard, as long as they become stronger and gain stars, won't they become nobles and be able to honor their ancestors?
So much so that the entire kingdom and even the civilians possess considerable military force.
But once the mage nobles appear on a large scale.
If those who follow up want to be promoted, they will first have to face the huge threshold of becoming a mage.
Not everyone can become a mage.
Moreover, there is also the boring study time.
Powerful mages need time to accumulate knowledge, and only powerful mages can become nobles.
But the more powerful the mage is, the more inevitable he is from aging.
So you want to become a lord?
Then live to be a hundred years old first!
Aurelion analyzed the situation in the kingdom and saw the potential problems very clearly.
As the leader of a country, would Augustus not be aware of this?
However, the other party still wanted to say that he wanted to create a magic academy?
Did the other lords agree?
This question troubled Aurelion.
After thinking about it again and again, she shouldn't have to answer this kind of thing by herself.
Because any answer would only lead her into the young king's trap.
Too many words lead to mistakes.
So Aurelion smiled slightly and said politely:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. If you have known me before, you will know that I have two teachers in total."
"Although I am a mage, I spend no less time learning swordsmanship than learning magic."
Hearing these words, many noble lords couldn't help but look at Aurelion.
From their faces, there was great surprise.
Is this mage princess who seems to be a little weak actually a melee mage with both physical and magical skills?
If you want to cultivate both physical and mental skills, you need to put in twice as much effort.
This couldn't help but make the nobles present re-evaluate the princess, and once again developed a strong impression.
After all, in this kingdom, the lords usually only value two things - strength, and whether the opponent is a warrior.
Aurelion said calmly:
"So I'm sorry that I can't give an answer to this question. After all, I'm not a mage in the traditional sense."
"However, Your Majesty the King, you might be able to ask my teacher - Victor, the Councilor Cravenna."
As soon as these words came out, many nobles fell silent.
A distinct aura began to rise from the entire hall.
That power was as if all the elements in this space were aroused together.
The magic seemed to be ready to move, surrounding every noble present like a torrent.
This depressing magic made everyone present feel a little uneasy.
Many people couldn't help but turn their attention to Victor.
He just sat there calmly, his hands in his pockets.
But these noble lords can clearly feel it.
This sense of depression clearly came from the Cravenna MP.
Many people know Victor. After all, the ocean battle that spread throughout the world was really shocking.
And they heard about it.
On their way to visit the kingdom, Victor and the others bombed the Nangapurna Valley that separated the empire and the kingdom.
That kind of thing that is almost impossible to do humanly makes these warriors feel even more shocked.
No matter how powerful they are, they will never be able to cause a natural disaster.
August raised his eyebrows with some interest and continued to face Aurelion;
"Oh? Senator Cravena still understands this?"
Aurelion smiled in response.
"Of course, my teacher is the chief professor of our empire's Royal Academy of Magic."
She said with a look of pride on her face.
August noticed this little bit of pride.
He smiled softly:
"I see."
Then, he turned his eyes to Victor, his eyes revealing deep respect:
"Congressman Clevenna."
Victor had no expression on his face and just nodded indifferently.
The king asked:
"Actually, my desire to establish a magic academy was not a temporary impulse."
"In our kingdom, we have an academy similar to the Empire's Magic Academy."
"It's just that there is more emphasis on cultivating strong warriors."
Having said this, August was sitting up, his eyes seeming to reveal deep emotions.
"Star Academy."
"This name is taken from the title system of our kingdom."
"I studied there all the time when I was young."
He stood up, smiling and extending his hands to Aurelion and Victor as if to invite:
"I don't know, Mr. Congressman, and Princess Aurelion."
"Are you two interested in visiting that great university with us?"
