Chapter 262 Albert was on his way to
the Northern Continent on horseback, and autumn was getting stronger.
The breeze blew up the sand and dust on the ground from time to time, and the grass and shrubs on both sides of the road gradually became bald.
The originally green tree crown has been quietly dyed with a touch of golden color.
The seemingly falling leaves swayed in the autumn wind, making bursts of rustling sounds.
At this moment, Archmage Albert was on his way back on horseback.
Not long ago, he had just concluded a private visit to France.
As a holy land in the minds of mages, France does not belong to any country on the continent.
It is located in the southeast of the Northern Continent, in the center between the Northern Continent and the Southern Continent. It is the headquarters of the Mage Association.
As a holy place in the hearts of mages, it has the largest number of mages in the human world.
Therefore, when Leon suggested that he go out for a walk, it would be best to attract some investment and catch some students for the future Antolia High School of Magic.
The place name Fran was undoubtedly the first word that appeared in Albert's mind.
So Albert went without hesitation.
In Albert's mind, building a magic academy that gathers all kinds of magicians is undoubtedly a joyful event worthy of strong support and publicity no matter what aspect you look at it.
If we can get the support of Fran, then the preparation of the Antolia High School of Magic will be more effective with half the effort.
However...
the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.
In France, Albert was unsurprisingly rejected.
Although his status as Archmage allows him to be treated with respect even in France.
But it was just a sign of respect.
It can be said that Fran's Council has no interest in the so-called Antoria High School of Magic.
The only guarantee Albert received during his trip was that Fran would provide all support except help.
No, not even verbal support.
the reason is simple.
In Fran's view, only the holy city of Fran, which is the holy land of mages, is the only magic orthodoxy.
As for Antolia, which is located on the border of the Kingdom of Andal, and the so-called ancient magic, just like Antolia's magic potion, it is a real heresy.
Mage Association - Branches in various places - Mage Tower.
This is the Mage Association system built by the founder of the Mage Association, Archmage Merlin.
As for the magic academy?
Sorry, Frank doesn't acknowledge this, nor does he think it's necessary.
This undoubtedly made Albert quite unhappy.
Not to mention attracting investment, not even a few mage apprentices were attracted.
He had no choice but to embark on the return journey in despair.
For the first time, Fran's experience made Albert doubt the establishment of the Antolia High School of Magic.
Can the establishment of the Magic Academy really create a more glorious and splendid era of magic?
Is everything I have done really necessary?
...
"It's necessary! It's very necessary!"
In the study room of the Lord's Castle, Leon said without hesitation when faced with Albert's question.
"I don't know what you heard or saw when you went out this time." "
But what I know is that potions allowed the soldiers of the Kingdom of Andal to resist powerful enemies on the battlefield of the Principality of Norton. The number one in magic engineering This achievement makes it possible to capture shadow monsters."
"Individual power has its limit. Even a strong man at the level of an archmage cannot change the world." "
But..." "The existence of potions will make countless people Benefit, the existence of magic engineering will bring infinite possibilities to the development of magic." "
Since the old diehards in France are stubborn, then Antolia will do it on his own!"
Leon gave his answer decisively.
"From the runes on the stone tablets to the spells chanted by the mages, from lengthy ancient spells to more concise modern magic, the development of the magic path has gone through two stages and set two milestones." "How can you
? Do you know that the future Antolia High School of Magic will not set a third milestone in the history of magic?"
As Leon's words fell, Albert, who was originally a little discouraged, could not help but rekindle hope in his heart.
But the problem is...
"But the money to build the Magic Academy..."
"The money is already there."
Leon said solemnly: "Antolia has issued a large number of bonds, which is enough for Antolia College to break ground. And I also talked to the mages of Antolia yesterday. Most of them are optimistic about the preparations for the establishment of the High School of Magic in Antolia."
Hearing this, Albert couldn't help but be stunned.
He originally thought that his return was in vain, and there was a high probability that Leon's previous promises would be difficult to fulfill.
Unexpectedly, Leon had already secured the air, raised money, and was even ready to break ground!
"Your Majesty the Marquis..."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me."
Leon shook his head and said seriously:
"Your task is also very heavy."
"I don't think that Fran's mage apprentice is unwilling to come. Unexpected."
"Even in your mind, Flan has a very special status. Those mage apprentices who live in Flan naturally do not say a word to Antoria, who is located on the border and has not been famous before. ."
"So..."
"If you want to recruit apprentices for the Antolia High School of Magic, you must now look for suitable talents among the common people." "
It's not just you, but also the mages of Antolia. We must also take action, starting from Antolia, throughout the entire southern Andal Kingdom, searching for talents with magical potential." "
Go now?"
Albert felt a little confused.
Not to mention the academy, even the location of the Magic Academy has not been finalized yet. Is it too early to start looking for someone?
"Don't forget, civilians don't even know the most basic reading and writing, so you have to give them time to prepare for college, right?"
Leon said helplessly.
Compulsory education is impossible.
Antolia simply does not have the financial resources.
All we can do is invest limited resources into a few people with the greatest potential.
It’s like the Jimena family’s basic literacy class for the children of fallen soldiers.
If you want to cultivate a large group, you can only cultivate a small group first.
Only when we have enough financial resources and manpower can we start planning further plans.
"In that case, I'll go down and prepare."
Albert said seriously.
"Wait..."
"Before I leave, I have something to ask you."
As he spoke, Leon carefully took out a black stone egg from the wooden box behind him...
and...
