Who taught him magic?

Chapter 9 True Talent, Magic Train, Official Declaration of War

-

Western Territory,

It has been almost three months since Green took over the Western Territory and was officially canonized as a Marquis here.

In just over three months, it would not be wrong to say that earth-shaking changes have taken place.

New policies are being implemented here.

About a month ago, the census in the Western Territory was completely completed. The total population was about 130 million. During the census process, the magicians in charge and Lundrona officials also redistributed the fields and lowered taxes. .

Other than that, it's just a simple rebuild of the three major cities.

The approaching war has not disrupted the development of the Western Region, and night schools and ordinary colleges are also being implemented in an orderly manner.

However, many of them did not show results because the time was too short.

Mork is a veteran who was discharged due to disability. During the war between the southern border and the small world, he was unfortunately injured. Half of his arm was torn apart by a very strong goblin, and there was a very deep scar on his chest.

The battlefield had a huge impact on him. Before he went to the battlefield, he was just an ordinary farmer who had to pay huge grain taxes.

He was obviously only thirty, but he was already too old to look good.

People who don't know think he is already over 40.

Mock believes that the best thing he has done in his life is to join the Second Regiment of Lundrona.

For reasons that were not very smart, he did not become an officer until he retired.

Compared to those young guys, his acceptance ability is indeed a bit poor. Whether it is the use of new weapons or when studying in class, he is far inferior to those young men.

Originally, he had a chance to join the artillery unit, but he really couldn't understand that stuff.

He couldn't understand what the officer summarized his experience.

Because I couldn't learn it, I could only stay in the infantry unit.

The training time actually didn't even last a month. Soon I followed the second regiment to the southern border. At first it was very tedious to dig trenches, and later it was actual combat.

Mock still can't forget the battle that happened in the early morning, and sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night.

He actually has no regrets about joining the second group.

Because of the large salary, even though one arm is now missing and he is not able to do heavy work, officials from the Cordova administration will send money every month.

In fact, there is no need to worry about life. In this small and not wealthy village, he is almost the envy of everyone in the village.

Mock got married very early. His eldest son is now seven years old, and his youngest son is also three years old.

The woman he married was the daughter of the farmer next door.

Not that pretty, but they've known each other since they were kids.

Since the end of the war, he has been resting at home for more than a month.

Looking at the unfamiliar words written by his eldest son on the ground, Mock only felt that they looked familiar. It seemed that an officer had taught him, but he still forgot.

At this time, I was more or less hating myself for not living up to expectations. If I had studied more at that time, I might still be able to teach the children now.

Compared to those farmers who have little knowledge, Mock has experienced a lot.

There is a general academy in the city of Cordoba, where children of suitable age are strongly encouraged to attend.

Ordinary farmers would naturally not have this idea, but Mok did not hesitate and sent his eldest son directly.

In fact, he couldn't give any reason, but he felt that it was right to do so.

When I was in the second regiment, I also heard those officers discuss the matter of children.

Literacy is very necessary!

The officers all have this consensus, so they all send their children to ordinary colleges.

Not only that, Mock also heard that officers who knew more words were more likely to get priority for promotion.

Many officers were big shots in his eyes.

Those big shots are willing to send their children to the academy, which shows that this is the right thing to do!

In fact, Mock didn't want to stay idle at home all the time. Even if he had a lot of wartime subsidies and disability subsidies, the money would eventually run out.

There is indeed a lot of disability allowance, but after all, he has two children, so it is always good to save more money.

On this day, an official knocked gently on his door. Mock was a little confused after opening the door.

Wasn't the disability allowance given last week?

After the official explained his purpose, Mock suddenly realized.

It turned out that a guard regiment was to be formed, and some experienced veterans were needed to serve as officers and train new recruits.

Mok was an outstanding soldier who was awarded the Silver Medal at the medal ceremony, so the officer in charge found him immediately and asked him in a gentle manner.

Refusal was of course possible, and the young official from Lundrona was not one to persuade repeatedly.

However, in his opinion, the formation of the guard regiment is indeed an opportunity, a very rare promotion opportunity.

Mok was a little hesitant at this moment. Forming a guard group would probably lead to another war.

When I was in the second regiment, I also heard some officers discussing Flan. Those officers agreed that there must be a battle with Flan.

The officers also have completely different views. Some say that there will be many, many people in Flan, many many magicians.

If you ask him for details, he doesn't know.

Mork knew that he might be going to war with Fran, so he was hesitant to accept it.

The young official was not in a hurry. After receiving the water from the woman, he waited very quietly.

"Are you going to fight Fran?"

"If there are no accidents, that's it!"

"Flan..."

Many people living in this land, if they are not knowledgeable enough, do not know that the neighboring countries are Fran and Soune.

When Mok was a child, he heard the elders in the village talk about the neighboring country. It was said that they were very powerful and wealthy.

After joining the second group, I gained a deeper understanding of these two countries and how powerful they were.

Going to war with Fran is not good news for them.

Many people don't like fighting or anything like that.

But I heard that Fran was going to attack them this time... Mok was very confused. To be honest, he was also very afraid of death.

He felt that a coward like himself was not qualified to wear that medal, so later he did not dare to wear it in front of everyone, but he could not help but take it out every night and touch it over and over again by the moonlight.

When I have nothing to do, I like to wipe the non-existent dust on the surface of the medal with my clothes, over and over again.

Even if his eldest son, whom he loved most, wanted to see this medal, he was a little unhappy.

For an ordinary person like him, there are some things that he may never forget in this life.

For example, the grand investiture ceremony.

Every time I think about it, I always get a little excited.

"I want to think about it..."

"it is good!"

……

Adele actually didn't expect that she would be here because of a letter and a magician.

Well...it's certainly not because of Green.

If you compare a relationship to a degree of favorability, to be honest, Green has not reached this level yet.

"Well, those professors are really willing to let people go..."

Adele's mood was a little complicated when she saw Davina, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

The person in front of her has always been the target of her pursuit.

It's a bit unconvincing.

Because this is the student union president, she did not join the student union.

The relationship between these two people is extremely complicated. If you want to say how deep their friendship is, Adele can tell one by one the things that happened when she was bullied when she was a child.

But you have to say that their relationship is very bad.

A letter, a word, and Adele is willing to come here.

"The professors asked me to come over and ask you, when will you return to the academy?"

"Well……"

Davina's little face suddenly fell down. Some professors didn't know those things and chased her every day to ask when they were going back.

Is it because you don’t want to go back?

Is it because you don’t miss the unique taverns in the royal capital?

It’s not because I can’t go back!

Thinking of this, Davina couldn't help but secretly despise Green.

A month has passed. Is that guy at level six now?

Can you really become a high-ranking magician in one year?

Ugh!

There are some things that even the professor doesn't know, and Adele doesn't even know them.

This silly girl has no idea that the person in front of her might become her elder.

Young girls each have their own worries.

Adele's troubles are naturally related to this bad woman.

He already has the ability to reach a high position in the fourth grade. Will he be able to reach a high position in another year?

I'm afraid not!

……

The troubles on Green's side were also piled up one after another, and the preparations for the war were not as smooth as expected.

"I think……"

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think!"

"But……"

"You are in charge of the fourth regiment. There are not so many suitable officers who can be commanders now. After all, you have experience, so you have to be a commander as well."

George looked hesitant. He really felt that he was not good enough to be a commander.

But there really aren't that many suitable commanders at the moment. It would be a waste if an experienced one is not used here.

"Wait until the first regiment goes to the royal capital, and the fourth regiment stays behind at Lundrona. The defense here will be left to you!"

Green said in a deep voice.

He was going to hand over Lundrona's defensive work to George... The task of staying behind was not as easy as imagined.

Feeling the pressure, George took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

He didn't refuse again.

……

Of the eight guard regiments, three of them were left to guard the western border. Green threw all of them to Edmund, the commander of the second regiment.

Of the remaining five regiments, one was put in charge by George, and the other four were all brought to the royal capital, with Banner and William in charge.

There are not so many suitable commanders, so we can only put more burdens on these people... Green himself actually has no time to take responsibility. He rarely even goes to the Magic Academy now.

No time to go to class.
