Chapter 68 Mage
"Are you interested in magic?" Selena asked Ye Junwen in the room.
"Yes." Ye Junwen also nodded, "The spells on your side are very different from those on our side, so I'm still very interested."
"So that's it." Selena nodded, "But although you're a little interested, it's better not to be a mage."
"Why?" Ye Junwen asked a little strangely.
Selena also knew that Ye Junwen was not clear about the situation inside, so she popularized the science for Ye Junwen. Ye Junwen listened roughly and simply said that in this other world, the situation of the mage was not as respected as he thought.
Ye Junwen's understanding of magicians comes from the novels he has read before. The mages in them are very powerful and are admired by thousands of people, but they are not here. In this world, those mages are more heretic in most people's cognition. They do have powerful power, but most people only think they are weird and afraid of them, and they will not worship them.
The magic of this world mainly comes from three academies, Holeme Academy, Gulong Academy and Gray Robe Academy. Through Selena's narration, Ye Junwen roughly learned about the situation of these three academies, which is somewhat similar to the various schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of the ancient Chinese, that is, the three academies represent three schools. The mages in them will indeed be born and then help various forces, but they can never become a true subordinate relationship, because once the matters of the academy are involved, they must stand firm.
It is obvious that such a system makes the rulers of various forces not very fond of these mages. Although sometimes they also need the power of mages, they are not their own people after all, and they always feel that there is something between them. In this case, almost all forces have reservations about mages. In their Saint Wilan Empire, the situation of mages is similar. Due to the official propaganda, the atmosphere in the overall empire is relatively distant from these mages. The people generally believe that these mages are all strange existences. They love and worship more and are those warriors who fight bravely on the battlefield and gain glory.
Of course, these mages have relatively powerful powers, so the empire still needs these powers. Under normal circumstances, the nobles in the empire will send their children who have no inheritance rights to the academy to study magic and become magicians. In this way, they can gain powerful power without posing any threat to the inheritance rights. Because in the eyes of the people, it is strange that a magician becomes a lord, and most people will not accept this situation. The real heirs need to accumulate merit on the battlefield to gain everyone's support.
So Selena has been preventing Ye Junwen from becoming a mage. After all, Ye Junwen is now a member of the Clovi family and has already obtained a title. If he becomes a mage at this time, it will have an impact on his orthodox identity. Originally, she certainly couldn't control whether Ye Junwen wanted to learn magic, but now she is pretending to be her, so naturally the matter of the Clovi family is involved, and she has to remind her.
"The situation of the Water God is..." Ye Junwen probably understood, but also talked about the Water God. If the Empire had this attitude towards the magician, then the current situation of the Water God was quite strange. He was the commander of a legion. If the Empire was prejudiced against the mage, how could he have taken such a position?
"This is not clear, but in fact there are precedents for mages to inherit titles. After all, if the orthodox heir dies, there is no other heir to be inherited by mages." Selena said, "We are not very clear about the situation of the Kalethel family. Maybe there is no suitable heir except him."
Ye Junwen nodded. He probably knew the reason why the Water God was not very credible in the legion if he said this. Perhaps because of the identity of the mage, most generals were probably dissatisfied with the situation of a mage leader. After all, in their opinion, the mages were just strange scholars, and the talents who really fought on the battlefield were worthy of being called great people. This assassination was more or less related to this reason.
Now some strange things can be understood. For example, although the Water God is a mage, he still has a sword hanging around his waist, and his sword skills seem to be pretty good. It seems that it is also to reduce the hostility of others brought by his mage identity. If you feel proud of this identity, just wear a mage robe and hold a staff to move.
"And once you decide to become a mage, you have to go to the academy to study for at least one year. Can you accept this situation?" Selena asked.
"Is that true?" Ye Junwen really didn't know about this. If he had to study for a year, Ye Junwen was a little reluctant to do it. Although he was really interested in spells, his primary goal now was to build his own business empire. It was really unacceptable to study for a year.
"That water god also needs to be on guard." Selena said again, "You don't know these things, but of course he knows them, so he suddenly invites you to become a mage, with unknown intentions."
Indeed, when the Water God knew that he was the owner of the Earl of Clovi, his intention was indeed somewhat doubtful. But perhaps it was not to harm him, it might be just a way to screen his companions. Yes, the Empire has some reservations to the mage, and the mage has certainly also reservations to the Empire. Perhaps the Water God believes that only people who are similar to him can understand their situation and become a true heart-to-heart talker with him, so he asked Ye Junwen to learn magic.
However, Ye Junwen is impossible to be a mage now. He really can't accept this year's study period. At present, he is still learning swordsmanship and fighting spirit. He will do it again if he has the chance in the future.
"I understand, I will refuse him." After understanding the situation, Ye Junwen also said to Selena.
"That's the best." Selena nodded. If Ye Junwen really insisted on learning magic, it would be very troublesome.
The two chatted for a while, mainly about Todd and the pistol matter. Ye Junwen also explained it a little. Soon it was getting late. It was probably because he saw that Ye Junwen had no reaction. Selena couldn't help but say, "Should we do some serious things now?"
"Serious business?" Ye Junwen was stunned for a moment. What is the main business?
Selena suddenly turned black, but soon turned red again, and she lowered her voice slightly and said, "Heir."
"Oh." Ye Junwen understood at once. The two of them had said before that if they could survive the previous rebellion, Selena would consider marrying Ye Junwen, and of course they would keep making the next generation of heirs of the Cloway family. This was agreed.
Ye Junwen had no objection to this. After all, he also needed Selena's help now. Of course, he was very clear about the process. He had done everything he should have done when he was with his ex-girlfriend before, so he naturally would not be like Brother Chu. The atmosphere is pretty good now. Ye Junwen looked at Selena and then directly pressed the other party's shoulder.
Selena probably had never experienced these things. When she saw Ye Junwen's movements, she quickly closed her eyes. She looked very nervous and her whole body was trembling slightly. It seemed that although she had made a mental decision, she still couldn't help but feel a little scared when she really encountered it.
"Dongdongdongdongdong." As a result, just when Ye Junwen was about to work, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Ye Junwen frowned. This irritable situation was actually encountered by himself, and he didn't know who was causing trouble for him.
When I opened the door, I found that a soldier came. When I saw Ye Junwen open the door, I immediately said, "Sir Earl, General, I want to see you."
"Is the God of Water?" Ye Junwen asked.
"Yes, it's Lord Water God." The soldier replied.
"I know, I'll go there right away." The Water God was probably looking for trouble for him. It seemed that something was really wrong. Ye Junwen nodded, then closed the door and looked at Selena. Of course, she also heard the conversation between the two, showing a slightly angry expression.
"I wouldn't have said so much nonsense just now," said Ye Junwen. "I don't know what the situation is when I look for me so late."
"I heard that many nobles have a good male style..." Selena said quietly.
"..." Ye Junwen looked at Selena and said a little dull, "No...will...be..."
"I don't know, but this time is indeed quite strange." Selena said, "I think you'd better be careful."
"Fuck..." Ye Junwen held his forehead, but this time point was indeed a bit strange. His sexual orientation was nothing special. If he really encountered this situation, even if the Water God was still useful now, Ye Junwen said that he would kill him first.
"Anyway, go and have a look first." Ye Junwen thought about it and still wanted to go and have a look before talking about it. After all, it is not easy to refuse now.
After leaving the room, Ye Junwen also led the soldiers to the Water God's side. What made Ye Junwen feel a lot was that the other party did not meet him in the room, but in a place in the city lord's mansion that looked like an office. Although this place didn't look like a place that did that kind of thing, there was no one in the room, and Ye Junwen said he should be careful.
