"Hey, Roy, what are you thinking about?" A voice interrupted Roy's thoughts. (Just read the novel.)(. wo.)
Roy raised his head and saw three girls of similar age walking into his room.
"Hey, Stella, Sharman, and Eddie, you are here." Roy greeted with a smile.
Needless to say, Stella and Shaman, but when Roy learned about his life experience, he was surprised to find that Addie, a talented girl who always stayed away from strangers in Stephenson College, suddenly became his Cousin, this took him a while to get used to.
"Cousin Roy, are there no new enchantment designs today?" Seeing the blank tabletop in front of Roy, Eddie blinked his big dark eyes and asked somewhat glumly.
These days, Roy has completed a lot of enchanting designs in order to meet the challenges of enchanters every day, so Eddie comes to see his new designs almost every day to satisfy his hobbies.
"I haven't received any challenges today." Roy raised the newspaper in his hand and smiled.
¡°Not one?¡± Not only Eddie, but also Stella and Charman said in shock.
"Well, none."
"really weird¡¡"
Not only are they strange, Roy himself is also strange.
Although as time went by, other enchanters gradually understood that Roy did have enchanting talents that ordinary people could not match, so fewer and fewer enchanters challenged him. But no matter what, there are still a few of them every day, and there will never be none like today.
"I think it's because of this." Stella picked up a newspaper and pointed to a page.
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, only to find that it was a statement.
This statement is not long. The content is not complicated, but the publisher attracted the attention of several people.
"A statement issued by the Enchanter's Guild?" Roy took the newspaper in Stella's hand in shock, read it carefully, and touched his chin, which was very strange. "In order to ensure that the level of enchanters is uniformly reviewed, the enchanters' union only recognizes the badges issued by the union for passing the assessment? Isn't this normal? Why does the union have to make a special statement?"
"That's right. Although many countries have conducted proficiency reviews on enchanters, the review by the Enchanter Guild is the most authoritative. Everyone knows this. Why do you need to make a special statement?" Shaman also asked in confusion. road.
"You should pay attention to the wording of the statement and the timing of issuing this statement." Stella said.
"What do you mean?" Roy, Shaman, and Eddie looked at each other, all confused.
"Didn't you notice? In this statement, the Enchanter's Guild said that it 'only recognizes the assessment passing badge issued by the union', which means that other assessment certifications are not recognized by the Enchanter's Guild. In other words, the Enchanters want to carry out For the assessment, you can only pass the assessment of the Enchanter Guild, and cannot accept other assessments. The most important thing is that you cannot accept assessments from other countries."
"Is there any difference? Anyway, the enchanter's union is the most authoritative." Shaman was still a little confused.
"Of course. Because in this way, other countries and forces will no longer be able to interfere in the affairs of enchanters. In other words, all enchanters on the mainland must be led by the enchanters' union."
"You meanthe Norman Empire?" Roy frowned.
"Yes." Stella nodded. "Roy. It seems that case also taught you a lot."
Roy smiled slightly.
Since the Grand Duke of Romance and Count Romance visited him together, the case involving him has gradually been downplayed. Roy knows very well that this must be the influence of the Romance family.
But through this incident, he also understood the contradiction between the Enchanter Guild and the Norman Empire.
"Then the timing you just mentioned"
"Have you forgotten? Three days ago, the Norman Empire passed a revised law. According to the newly revised law, enchanters will no longer have special privileges. Any cases related to enchanters must go through the Empire's laws. Review.¡±
"Wouldn't this push the enchanters towards the enchanters' union?" Roy thought for a while.
"On the surface, this is true, but in fact, no matter how powerful the enchanters are, they still have to live in various countries, and they must come into contact with all aspects of each country, so it is unrealistic to want to exist outside the country. " Stella explained.
"Then the Enchanter Guild issued this statement just to force us Enchanters to choose a side?"
"That's right."
Roy thought for a while and couldn't help but frown: "I still don't understand why the Norman Empire and the Enchanter's Guild do this. What are the benefits of this?"
Stella also frowned, looking confused.
"I don't understand this either"
"I understand." A clear voice caught the eyes of the two people who were deep in thought.
Eddie showed a sly smile that usually only appeared on Stella's face, looked at the two of them, and then looked at the equally curious Shaman, and said: "Because Grandpa forced them to do this. .¡±
"Grandpa?" Stella and Shaman looked at Roy together.
Isn¡¯t Eddie¡¯s grandfather Roy¡¯s grandfather?
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Roy was walking on the streets of Winston City, but he was still thinking about what Eddie said just now.
According to Eddie, the series of actions taken by the Norman Empire against the Enchanter Guild were actually driven by the Grand Duke of Romance.
In addition to the legal revisions that everyone can see, even the case between him and Master Noelle has the shadow of the Romance family behind it.
This was actually told to Roy by Count Romance, Roy's uncle.
If the Grand Duke hadn't learned about Roy's life experience later, this case would never have gone unsolved. Instead, with the slow promotion of the Romance family, a conflict between the Enchanters' Guild and the Norman Empire would have finally been established. Win or lose.
And this is exactly what Roy can't figure out.
Why?
????????? The Romance family or why would the Grand Duke do this?
Letting the Enchanters Guild break with the Norman Empire can be seen as the Norman Empire no longer allowing the Enchanters Guild to have absolute autonomy, but wants to control the Enchanters Guild in its own hands, and then control the entire continent through the Enchanters Guild. of enchanters.
On the surface, doing so will inevitably damage the strength of the Norman Empire.
But if you take a longer-term view, because the Norman Empire is now the only superpower on the Isori continent, even if it loses part of its strength, no other country or force can threaten it, so this is actually nothing.
But given time, when the Norman Empire really digests and absorbs the Enchanter's Guild, the only huge organization on the continent that can still maintain political autonomy, the strength of the entire empire will definitely increase significantly, and it will naturally further consolidate the Norman Empire. Dominance.
Being able to rule the entire continent for eternity is the dream of every Norman emperor, or every ruler who has ever been a ruler of this continent.
So even though the Norman Empire is now in a stable position and has no rivals on this continent, His Majesty the Emperor still accepted the Grand Duke's proposal.
Butwhy did the Grand Duke make this suggestion?
Others may not have the entire question in their minds, but Roy cannot live without it.
Because in the few times that the Grand Duke and Earl of Romance met Roy, although they did not say it explicitly, they often revealed their dissatisfaction with the Norman Empire, unintentionally or intentionally, and even this kind of The dissatisfaction was strong.
"Maybe it's my imagination?" Roy said to himself, then shook his head.
No, this is not an illusion. Although he was not a particularly observant person, the Grand Duke and Earl Romance did not try to hide anything in front of him, and many times, Roy even suspected that they did this on purpose.
"Butwhy is this?" Roy thought for a long time, but could only smile bitterly.
No matter how talented he is in enchantment, he is just an ordinary person in politics. How can he know what the Grand Duke and the others are thinking in their hearts.
Raising his head, he found that he had arrived at the door of Pino Enchanting Firm, and Roy walked in.
"Hey, Roy, why are you free today?"
As soon as I walked in, I saw Mero Scully and Master Shearer sitting together and having a good time.
Seeing Roy walking in, Scully waved to Roy and motioned for him to come over.
"Today I received a notification from the college saying that I have passed the assessment." Roy replied.
"Oh? You were announced in advance that you passed?" Master Hiller glanced at Roy in surprise. "This is a rare exception."
"Tch, what's all the fuss about." Scully rolled his eyes at Master Hiller. "With Roy's level, what kind of assessment does he need to take? He should have been allowed to pass directly.?'s. "
Master Hiller laughed and said, "That's right. With Roy's current level and reputation, other students must be convinced." After saying that, he sighed with emotion and continued, "I can't believe that, Roy, you just came here Winston has only been around for two months, and now he has become so famous. Now if we name both of us together, I¡¯m afraid most people will know you but not me.¡±
Hearing Master Hiller¡¯s teasing, Roy could only laugh.
Scully chuckled: "Hiller, are you convinced now? Any student I teach will be more famous than you."
"Bah, this is Roy's own genius, it's none of your business." Master Hiller retorted unceremoniously.
Since Scully came to Winston City, he did not choose any other place to live. Instead, he lived directly in Pino Enchanting Firm and became a special enchanter of Pino Enchanting Firm like Master Hiller.
The two of them were together almost every day, and they also quarreled almost every day. (You are welcome to come. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
