Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 57 All Developing Smoothly
Chapter 57 - 57 All Developing Smoothly
In the following days, life at the academy seemed rather dull for Su Lian.
With the heart of an uncle inside, he obviously couldn't blend in with the surrounding students. Even when he had casual conversations with the intention of getting in touch, there was a clear purpose behind them.
However, thanks to this, he had secretly won over more than a dozen promising talents.
Nowadays, Prince Esha was rising rapidly and powerfully in the Kingdom of Avissu. With the continuous opening of the magic-powered vehicle routes, the profits brought by a large number of trades were constantly flowing back to the Peter Holy Domain. The kingdom, which could lie back and collect a 20
% share of the benefits, was naturally very pleased.
The practical military drills also went smoothly. All major army corps had successfully passed the process of practical combat loading, and the overall wartime transportation capacity of the kingdom had achieved a leapfrog improvement!
Esha's people had naturally and smoothly joined the 17th Army Corps secretly.
Whether it was their initial practical military drills, or the subsequent guidance for other army corps and the formulation of more detailed procedures, they had participated in all of it.
Naturally, Esha easily obtained all the precious relevant experience and also collected more intelligence among the major army corps.
...
In terms of prestige.
With the cooperation of Duke Alfred, Esha successfully curbed the momentum of another duke among the three major dukes.
That was the original target, Duke Leslie Thodore.
Duke Thodore was originally the richest noble in the entire Kingdom of Avissu, controlling many large business associations in the kingdom. However, with the opening of the magic-powered vehicle transportation, the business associations related to them couldn't obtain the approval for the use of the
magic-powered vehicle transportation. The gap between them and other business associations was quickly widened.
As a result, a small number of business association presidents had secretly met with Esha's people and requested special treatment.
But without exception, all of them were refused.
Finally, with the addition of Duke Alfred, their business association forces joined hands again and seized a large amount of the business of the original Thodore business associations. They, who were already lagging behind in transportation capacity, were directly dealt a heavy blow.
At the same time, due to the existence of the Liandel Gold Bank and the exchange under Esha, the business associations belonging to Esha and Alfred's forces had extremely abundant start-up funds in all aspects. Duke Thodore simply couldn't compete with them in the development of all new markets.
In the end, Thodore himself could only show his submission to Esha in a public occasion at a banquet and was willing to let the business associations of his own forces join the Liandel Exchange and participate in their cooperation.
In essence, Esha directly took over part of the rights of Thodore's business associations, in exchange for the approval of the magic-powered vehicle transportation rights for their business associations, allowing them to survive.
The Liandel Gold Bank and the exchange also simultaneously controlled a larger capital flow!
...
With such great changes, the kingdom naturally paid attention to the situation in the Peter Holy Domain.
But so far, although Esha had doubled the treatment of the private army in the new reform. Obviously, in a peaceful and stable country, more young people whose labor force had been liberated would try to find more profitable jobs rather than joining the army.
So, the expansion of Esha's private army was completely within the acceptable range of the kingdom.
As long as there were no soldiers, no matter how much wealth and prestige increased, there wouldn't be too big a problem.
Esha still paid taxes to the kingdom as usual, and continued to enjoy the 20% share of the magic-powered vehicle transportation profits for free. He didn't need to bother with managing and outwitting those business associations. He was living an easy life.
Just lie back and relax!
Anyway, the Kingdom of Avissu had been doing so for hundreds of years due to geographical factors.
...
However, there were still some things that the kingdom should pay attention to.
In the war between the two small countries to their south, the Kingdom of Rankou had already shown an overwhelming advantage, and Nalin's original country, Yaminik, was likely not to survive this winter.
Avissu naturally didn't want Yaminik to be annexed. After all, allowing another country to grow a little and losing a country that could be used for containment and utilization obviously didn't conform to Avissu's interests.
Therefore.
After discussion between Su Lian and Esha, they privately asked Tuttle of the 17th Army Corps to propose in his military capacity, so that Avissu could secretly support Yaminik.
Moreover!
Because of the magic-powered vehicles, Esha also attended the meeting and took the initiative to propose that among the secretly provided military supplies, there were the commonly used weapons and equipment of the private army in their territory.
That proposal really surprised most people.
At a time when Prince Esha's influence was rising rapidly, he was actually willing to take the initiative to weaken the strength of his private army to strive for benefits for the Kingdom of Avissu.
It also made people sigh that he truly deserved to be the most beloved and trusted younger brother of His Majesty the King. Even after making money, he still thought of his elder brother.
See? After making money, he didn't even think about rebelling. Instead, he not only helped the kingdom but also took the initiative to reduce the strength of his private army!
Esha's proposal received more praise from the bigwigs in the military department. The magic-powered vehicles had already brought them great benefits, and the voluntary reduction of the private army's strength also relieved them of a lot of pressure.
After all...
If Esha really wanted to rebel, it would be the kingdom's army corps that would have to suppress him at that time.
But what they didn't know was that.
The reduction of the commonly used weapons and equipment proposed by Esha was actually the weapons and equipment that they were about to phase out. Whether it was the armor or the conventional weapons, they would be phased out in large quantities in the future. Using them to be discarded at this tim
e could actually play an additional role better.
It was used to weaken the vigilance of the kingdom and the military department!
...
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost the end of the first semester for Su Lian.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
...
"Ah~" Su Lian sat in the corner and yawned boredly.
The reason was simple. This class was related to magic, and he originally planned to skip it. But because the overall grade of the class in the pre-final test was poor, the angry Teacher Jay had demanded that no one was allowed to ask for leave or skip class before the final test.
"How many times do I have to tell you this question?"
"The rocks created by earth magic and the water created by water magic, can they be used or drunk? They are all temporarily condensed by elements through magic. Without the maintenance of magic power, they will quickly disperse and turn back into the original elements. How could you people from the
warrior department still get this wrong!"
"If they could exist permanently and for a long time, wouldn't those who have learned the special gold magic be richer than a country!?"
Teacher Jay was so angry that he slapped the podium!
This was one of the basic common senses of magic in this world.
All the entities condensed by magic, without continuous magic power supply later, would gradually turn back into elements and disappear over time.
The idea that in a desert where there was a lack of water and people were thirsty, a magician could create water and drink it to quench their thirst. There might be no problem at that moment, but after a while, the water that had been drunk would all turn back into water elements and disperse, being
of no use at all.
Only the magician himself could use magic power to maintain the existence of the water.
"And this question, can a magician master all magic systems?"
"Leaving aside the question itself, use your brains to recall. Even if a magician can learn all magic systems, have you really seen any powerful magician who has mastered all the magic? Even the great mage in our kingdom, except for the three main magic systems he specializes in, there are even thre
e systems that he has only reached the level of a grand magician."
"People's constitutions and talents are different. No matter how smart a person is, they can't master things like alchemy, potions, mechanics, politics, history, and geography all at the same time, right?"
"Ah!? Can you think carefully about this?"
"Getting this kind of question wrong, I really want to ask a senior magician to teach you a lesson and make you remember!"
Teacher Jay was really furious.
This was also one of the basic common senses of magic in this world.
Su Lian also had a certain feeling about this. Although he had already mastered the basic seven magic systems plus the ice and wood systems to the level of a high-level magician. But currently, the only four systems in which he could skillfully master the fifth-level offensive, defensive, and auxili
ary magic were the wind, fire, water, and earth systems.
However, Nalin said that it was already extremely abnormal, because even as a sixth-level grand magician, the only offensive, defensive, and auxiliary magic that he mastered was blood magic.
For the fifth-level offensive, defensive, and auxiliary magic, Nalin only mastered the dark, wind, and water systems.
As a result, Nalin even mocked that Su Lian, with his blood clan and werewolf bloodline, was more proficient in magic than her, a blood clan vampire.
Su Lian said that it was probably due to the blessing of the bloodline of the Avissu royal family. The Suman royal family members were indeed all magicians.
...
"Next is the question of magic spells. The way of chanting different magic spells determines the magic school, and also determines their characteristics, power, etc."
"The mainstream spells in our kingdom are of the elven school, and a small number use the draconic language school. This is also a relatively common school on the continent. You should all be able to identify them easily. At least, you have heard your magician classmates chanting them many times."
"But you must remember the other schools! Because this determines whether you choose to continue fighting or choose to retreat temporarily."
"The demon language school, the oracle school, and the special blood curse school are all representatives of extremely dangerous magic!"
"If you are fighting against a magician of these three spell schools, if you don't have absolute certainty, you must choose to retreat immediately."
Teacher Jay said this extremely seriously, and even used magic power to amplify the sound of his words.
The seriousness of his words woke up all the classmates and also caught the attention of Su Lian and Nalin.
Because the "blood curse school" among them was the magic spell used by the blood clan. At the same time, some special "dangerous" races also used this kind of magic spell.
At the same time, all blood magic was guided by the magic spells of the "blood curse school", and some curse magic also used the spells of this school.
The magic spell school was indeed an important criterion for judging the degree of danger.
"But teacher, the only ones who can use the spells of these three schools are those extremely rare dangerous races, right? Will they pass on their spells and magic to others?" Someone raised their hand and asked.
...
Representatives of the demon language school:
The demon race, which was almost exterminated and forced to live on a lonely island in the far east.
Representatives of the oracle school:
The witch race, which was almost invisible and lived in hidden places.
Representatives of the blood curse school:
The blood clan, which was almost impossible to find and had been encircled and suppressed many times.
...
"What if you encounter them?" Teacher Jay retorted.
The classmate who asked the question was stunned.
"The witch race that uses the oracle school is still okay, but if it's the demon race of the demon language school and the blood clan of the blood curse school, with their strange and powerful magic, they are very likely to kill you to keep the secret!" Teacher Jay said.
The classmates fell silent.
"So you must remember the magic spell schools. This is one of the best ways to judge the opponent's ability!" Teacher Jay knocked on the blackboard and said.
