Chapter 262 Albert Is on His Way on Horseback

In the northern continent, autumn is 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……

Ideal is full, 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, facing Albert's question, Leon said without hesitation.

"I don't know what you heard or saw when you went out this time."

"But what I know is that potion science allowed the soldiers of the Kingdom of Andal to resist powerful enemies on the battlefield of the Principality of Norton. The first result of magic engineering made it possible to capture shadow monsters."

"There is an ultimate limit to one's power. Even a strong man at the level of an Archmage cannot change the world."

"But……"

"The existence of potions will benefit countless people, and the existence of magic engineering will bring infinite possibilities to the development of magic."

"Since the old diehards in Fran are stubborn, then Antolia will do it on her 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 magic has gone through two stages and set two milestones."

"How 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, couldn't help but rekindle hope in his heart.

But the problem is...

"But the money to build a magic academy..."

"The money is already there."

Leon said in a deep voice: "Antolia has issued a large number of bonds, which is enough for Antolia Higher College to break ground, and I also communicated with the mages of Antolia yesterday. They are not interested in Antolia." Most people are optimistic about the preparations for the establishment of the Sub-Higher Magic Academy."

Hearing this, Albert couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

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 tasks are equally heavy."

"I'm not surprised that Fran's mage apprentice is unwilling to come."

"Even in your mind, Flan has a very special status. Those mage apprentices who live in Flan naturally don't say anything to Antoria, which is located on the border and had no reputation before."

"so……"

"If you want to recruit apprentices for the Antoria High School of Magic, now you have to go to the common people to find suitable talents."

"Not only you, but the mages of Antolia must also take action. Starting from Antolia, we will search for talents with magical potential in the entire southern Andal Kingdom."

"Going right 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 we have to give them time to prepare for college, right?"

Leon said somewhat 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.

"etc……"

"Before I leave, I have something to ask you."

While speaking, Leon carefully took out a black stone egg from the wooden box behind him...

besides……
