The week from August 21 to 27, 1780 in the Continental Calendar, was just an ordinary week for many people, but during this week, several things happened that affected the entire continent. Something that has a huge impact and is extremely far-reaching.
The first thing is that the Norman Empire officially announced the establishment of the Imperial Academy on August 21, and announced that the academy will be divided into a magic academy, a fighter academy, and various professional skills academy.
Among these professional skills institutes is the Enchanter Academy.
According to the regulations of the Norman Empire for the Imperial Academy, in the future, all enchanters in the Norman Empire must pass the qualification assessment of the Imperial Academy. Those who fail to pass are not allowed to carry out enchanting work and research.
Even a fool can see this rule, it is clearly aimed at the Enchanter Guild.
Of course, this rule is not limited to Enchanter College, other colleges are no exception.
But today on the continent of Isori, with the exception of the Enchanter's Guild, all other unions have long been reduced to appendages of the state. Only the Enchanter's Guild has always maintained its own political autonomy and has control over almost all enchanters. Has quite a strong influence.
By doing this, the Norman Empire clearly wanted to destroy the influence of the enchanters' union, so as to control all the enchanters in its hands.
The second thing is the Enchanter Guild¡¯s reaction to this matter.
After learning about the Norman Empire¡¯s regulations on the Imperial Academy, the Enchanter¡¯s Guild held a meeting for three days, but in the end no consensus was reached.
On August 24, dozens of fifth-level enchanters at the top of the Enchanter Union announced their withdrawal from the Enchanter Union. At the same time, as many as seven of the less than twenty three-leaf enchanters on the Isori continent announced their withdrawal.
In this way, the Enchanter's Union, which was originally united and seemed to be monolithic, suddenly split into two just because of a regulation of the Norman Empire.
Although the third incident is not as sensational as the first two incidents, in terms of far-reaching impact, it is not weak at all.
This is it. Stephenson College, which has been established for nearly 500 years, suddenly announced on August 25 that Stephenson College will open a branch in mainland China. The address of the first branch was actually chosen in the Kingdom of Campas, two thousand kilometers away from the Norman Empire.
Of course, these three things have a great impact. People all over the continent couldn't help but talk about it privately, but in the end these things only related to the enchanter. What can really be said to be relevant to everyone on the continent is the fourth thing.
On August 27, the Grand Duke of Romance, the only Grand Duke in the Norman Empire and the patriarch of the largest family in the Norman Empire besides the royal family, suddenly returned to his territory in the northwest province of the Norman Empire, and then let Everyone announced with surprise and even horror
"The Romance family and territory will now separate from the Norman Empire and declare independence!"
Although in the announcement, the Grand Duke of Romance listed many despicable things that the Norman royal family had done against the Romance family. Use this to support your actions, but no matter what, in the eyes of others, these actions are nothing more than an idea.
The Romance family has rebelled!
This is now the largest family in the Norman Empire apart from the royal family. This family controls the entire Northwest Province, this family has extremely complex relationships in the Norman Empire, this family has been loyal for nearly four hundred years since the founding of the Norman Empire, this family was once dominated by the Norman Empire The family that countless people hailed as the patron saint of Norman actually turned against them!
As soon as the announcement came out. Just when everyone was shocked, more than 90% of the nobles in the northwest province of the Norman Empire declared their allegiance to the Romance family from now on almost without thinking. In this way, the entire northwest province was almost equivalent to The Norman Empire broke away.
Although the Norman Empire has five major provinces, the Northwest Province is not the richest province. However, because it is close to the north of the mainland, close to the northern barbarians, and has fierce folk customs, the army of the Northwest Province has always been Norman. The most powerful in the empire.
The declaration of independence by the Northwest Province was, in the eyes of many people, equivalent to cutting off an arm of the Norman Empire.
However, in the hearts of most people, they are not optimistic about the Romance family.
Although the revolution in the Northwest Province dealt a huge blow to the Norman Empire, the Norman Empire has experienced countless turmoils over the past four hundred years since its founding, but it still stands on the continent of Isori. It is still the only empire on the continent with a profound foundation. , is by no means so easily defeated.
Although the Romance family has the support of the entire Northwest Province, the Grand Duke of Romance was once the first god of war in the Norman Empire, and his son RomanThe Earl of ?? is also a new generation of talented general in the army. When it comes to fighting alone, I am afraid that no one in the entire continent can be their opponent.
But after all, war is not just a battle, but more often a competition for resources. In this aspect, the Northwest Province alone cannot compete with the entire Norman Empire.
However, just when everyone was wondering whether Grand Duke Romance was crazy, another piece of news left them speechless.
On September 17, 1780 in the Continental Calendar, exactly twenty days after the rebellion of the Romance family, the Governor of the Southwest Province of the Norman Empire and the patriarch of the Weiming family, the second largest family in the Norman Empire, Flo Duke Weimingt announced that the Southwest Province was liberated!
As soon as the announcement came out, the entire continent was shocked.
Although the rebellion of the Romance family is very unexpected, it is also a common occurrence for the Norman Empire. It just experienced a turmoil seventeen years ago, and it is not unusual for another one seventeen years later.
¡°But now if the Wei Mingte family is added to the mix, it¡¯s a completely different story.
In the past, the internal turmoil within the Norman Empire, even if occasionally large families were involved, caused serious harm to the empire, but in the end they failed because of the lack of strength of the rebels.
But this time is different from any other time.
Those who participated in the rebellion this time were the first and second largest families in the Norman Empire besides the royal family!
And these two families are both big families that have existed since the founding of the empire. Let¡¯s talk about their background. I'm afraid it won't be worse than the royal family!
The rebellion of the Romance family is equivalent to removing one arm of the Norman Empire, while the rebellion of the Weiming family is equivalent to removing the other arm of the Norman Empire!
In addition, because the two major families in the Norman Empire rebelled at the same time, the internal situation in the empire was unstable, and other large and small countries on the Isori continent also began to prepare for action.
Having been suppressed by the Norman Empire for so many years, now there is a chance to fight back. Who wants to miss it?
For a time, the atmosphere across the entire continent became tense.
But at this time, Roy was not nervous at all. Instead, he was bored.
Since coming to the Northwest Province, because of Roy¡¯s identity. Naturally, it is impossible for him to go to the front line to fight - not to mention that he has no talent in this area.
As for the only place where he can display his talents, that is, in enchanting, because the enchanters' union is now split, and most of the enchanters who do not want to be controlled by the Norman Empire have come to the Northwest Province to fight against it, plus the Romance family The enchanters under my control have now become the most densely populated area of ??enchanters in the entire continent.
No matter how talented Roy is, what can he do in front of so many high-level enchanters and even nearly ten three-leaf enchanters.
So Roy was shocked to find that he was almost useless now.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that in the blink of an eye, I would turn into those delicious and messy aristocratic children that I despised before¡± Thinking of this. Roy could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
After laughing, he looked up and looked at the bright moon in the night sky. Roy couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart.
What should he do next?
A few months ago, he sketched a future for himself in his mind. It is to successfully enter Stephenson College, then study hard, and eventually become a senior enchanter, and then make good money through enchantment so that his parents can live a good life.
As for things that are far away, he can't think of them yet.
And now things have changed. The parents became adoptive parents, and they were secretly arranged by the Romance family to return to the Kingdom of Campas and continue to live a self-sufficient life.
Although they still have to work every day, because of the support of the Romance family and Roy's care, they can now live comfortably and casually.
On the other hand, Stephenson College, which Roy wanted to enter, was also divided into two factions due to the split of the Enchanter's Union.
The party that supported the Norman Empire naturally stayed and merged into the Norman Empire Research Institute, becoming the enchantment branch under the Empire Research Institute.
The party that supports the Enchanter's Union to maintain independent independence has all withdrawn from the areas still controlled by the Norman Empire and dispersed to various places on the continent - of course, most of them have been transferred to the Northwest Province, and have established Stephen's Union in various places. Mori Academy Branch.
In terms of authenticity, the current Stephenson College in the Northwest Province seems more authentic because of the presence of Dean Stephenson.
If Roy is willing, as long as he opens his mouth, he will be admitted without even taking an assessment.
Of course Roy doesn't want to.
The reason why I wanted to be admitted to Stephenson College in the first place was because of the lofty status of Stephenson College on the mainland. Now that it has been divided into this, what authority can it have.
And this is exactly what troubles Roy the most.
Before this, if you wanted to study enchantment, there were countless enchantment colleges on the mainland to choose from. But now, due to the war, many colleges are unable to open classes normally.
Even though there are so many high-level enchanters gathered in the Northwest Province, in terms of enchantment research, due to the war, their research directions are all focused on aspects that are beneficial to the war.
But with Roy's level, he is not qualified to participate.
As for wanting to learn? Okay, he is currently the "Prince" of the Northwest Province, so of course no one will refuse him if he wants to learn.
The problem is that given his status, it is not convenient to study anywhere, so he had to give up.
"These days, if he is really bored, he can only study and study with people he knows well, such as Teacher Scully and Master Shearer.
"But we can't stay like this after the war, right?" Roy thought about this problem while walking towards Teacher Scully's bedroom.
As soon as he got closer, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from the bedroom.
It sounds like someone is arguing.
There were three people in the bedroom, two of whom had the voices of Teacher Scully and Master Shearer. The other person's voice sounded a bit familiar, but Roy couldn't remember it for a while.
What they are arguing about now is not about enchantment.
"I'm already here, don't you believe it?" The voice that spoke was a bit familiar to Roy.
Teacher Scully and Master Hiller were silent for a while in the room, and then Master Scully said: "It's not that we don't believe you, but we don't believe those guys. They could betray the union a few months ago, and the betrayal started with Brown Pino. There is no guarantee that the enchanter¡¯s spirit that we have always had will not betray us again in the future.¡±
Roy raised his lips in surprise.
Having known Mr. Scully for so long, this was the first time he heard Mr. Scully speak so seriously and with such a heavy tone.
"Mello is right. If they do this, who knows if it is a trap." Master Hiller also said. "You should know very well that the war ahead is currently in a stalemate. Equipment consumption is extremely serious, and the demand for enchantments is even greater. If one side loses the support of enchanters, it will definitely not be able to sustain it. The Norman Empire suddenly It¡¯s not strange at all to want to take advantage of people like us.¡±
"Although your concerns are reasonable" a somewhat familiar voice continued. "But this is because you don't know the specific situation. I'm afraid you don't know what kind of life the enchanters under the Norman Empire are living now."
Scully snorted and said, "They didn't choose the day themselves."
The voice ignored Scully and continued: "At the beginning, the management of enchanters by the Norman Empire Research Institute was relatively loose, basically similar to the previous enchanters' union. However, with the outbreak of the war, the Norman Empire's management of enchanters was relatively loose. The demand for enchantments has increased, and the Norman Empire currently does not have enough enchanters, so their work has become more and more arduous, and now they are overwhelmed. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that they have this idea."
"So they asked you to tell them?"
"Yes. Because I am a three-leaf enchanter, the Norman Empire does not dare to restrict me too much, so I can come in and out freely."
Roy was shocked, three-leaf enchanter? Who is this person?
¡°I think that¡¯s not the only reason.¡± Scully said with a smile. "I think it's more for the sake of your granddaughter that I let you come here."
"That's right." There was obvious self-deprecation in that voice. "Because of the relationship between Shaman and Roy, I am the best connection point between them."
"Sharman? Granddaughter?" Roy was stunned, could this person be Master Douglas?
That day, Shaman was originally going to pick up Master Douglas, but she didn¡¯t pick him up on the way. As a result, she still didn¡¯t see the three-leaf enchanter he had always admired in his heart.
"Then what do they want to do now? If they want to switch over, they can just find a way to sneak out. Is there any need to go to such trouble?"
"Because they still have doubts."
"Doubts?" Master Hiller asked in a muffled voice: "What other doubts do they have?"
"Because they don't know if they will be held accountable for what they have done before if they turn to His Excellency the Grand Duke, so they need a guarantor." Master Douglas replied."Then you came to find us two?" Master Scully and Master Hiller were both a little stunned. "But I'm afraid we two can't do it"
"What about me?" The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and a voice that was familiar to all three of them suddenly sounded. "If I go, they will believe our sincerity, right?"
The three of them turned their heads, and Roy stood at the door with a smile on his face. (To be continued)
