Chapter 8 How can there be no magic in a different world?
Then Brian started to check the properties of the territory and found something unexpected.
Territory attributes.
Territory name: Lanesburg (hosted)
Territory strength: 4636 (weak)
Army strength: 60 (weak)
Population: people
Territory income: 1456 gold coins/year
Territory wealth: 5100 gold coins
Territorial nobles: 42 (rare)
Territory reputation: 34 (ignore)
Territory evaluation: Seeing the light of day.
The evaluation of the territory has changed from being in a state of exhaustion to having a glimmer of hope. Who is the glimmer of hope? It goes without saying that it is Baron Brian.
The system praises people so much that they are so reserved.
It seems that after Brian traveled through time, he even had a double face.
Comparing the data from two days ago, Brian also found that the territory's strength increased by 100, the population increased by 100, and the territory's wealth increased by 5,000 gold coins.
The population, army and gold coins were all brought by oneself, because the guard that was reorganized today and 5,000 gold coins were transferred to the castle expenses were recognized as part of Landsburg.
But the system did not consider the 300 armored cavalry and ten officers to be Lansburg's army.
They are all sent by their father, and they are always loyal to the Duke and do not belong to themselves.
This made Brian's many tricks and methods to gain achievement points go to waste.
For example, even if the pocket money of 300 gold coins he left behind was placed in the castle warehouse together with the 5,000 gold coins, it would not be recognized by the system as territorial wealth.
Brian invested all his wealth into the territory, but only increased the territory's strength by 100 points and exchanged it for 100 achievement points. As expected, investment and entrepreneurship are bottomless pits. Don't try it if you don't have any money at home.
Faced with these 100 achievement points, Brian had two choices. One was to draw 10 consecutive points, and the other was to save up until he reached 1,000 achievement points and directly purchase an engineering team to dig the canal in the mall.
In this way, there will be a canal that can navigate large ships, as well as irrigation systems on both sides.
But every African chief has the heart of a European emperor. Brian's face is so pale now. It would be a pity not to give it a try.
So he couldn't help but click on the lottery panel. 100 achievement points can be used for one mid-level lottery and 10 low-level draws. As the saying goes, 10 consecutive draws are guaranteed, and a single shot is amazing.
So he chose an intermediate lottery. Even if he couldn't get the artifact, he still wanted to see what he could get in the intermediate lottery.
The mid-level lottery is extraordinary, even the system screen is much more refined, the pointer falls behind the blue light group, and fireworks are set off to celebrate.
This only made Brian more anxious, and finally the blue light flew out from the lottery page, turning into starlight and scattered on Brian's body.
What Brian drew this time turned out to be a blue talent, and he suddenly felt another side of the world.
Energy particles of different colors surround him and are gradually absorbed and condensed by him. Is this magic?
He actually picked up the magic talent. Although it was only a blue talent, it could only allow Brian to train to the level of a high-level magician.
But this is a magical talent after all. Among the 10,000 people in the entire continent, not one person may have a magical talent. Even a prosperous viscounty like Lansburg, with a population of more than 40,000, does not have a single magician.
Brian couldn't wait to learn magic, which would definitely improve his strength. He could already imagine the skyrocketing achievement points.
A thousand achievement points are nothing. As long as he becomes a high-level magician, 10,000 achievement points are not within reach.
Let alone building a canal, it's okay to build a spectacle. Of course, this is just a thought. Brian still understands the principle that spectacles harm the country.
Brian ran to the study excitedly, looking for books on magic knowledge. Unfortunately, it was all in vain. The Horton family had never produced a magician in eight lifetimes, so how could there be books about magic?
It seems that Brian has another side mission to become a magician. Fortunately, Brian is a child of a noble family. Learning magic is not easy, it is a matter of course.
In this world, if a person wants to become a magician, there are two ways to learn magic knowledge. One is to join the magic academy established by the kingdom and learn magic systematically.
Or follow the traditional master-apprentice model and become the apprentice of a powerful magician above the great magician, learning magic from his teacher.
These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you are training low-level magicians, the academic method is more efficient and safer, and the knowledge you learn is more comprehensive and systematic.
Therefore, the common method now is to first enter a magic academy and study basic magic for 5 to 7 years. After graduating with an intermediate magician level, you can then find your own mentors and follow them to learn more profound magic knowledge.
Therefore, magicians above the level of Grand Magician are called Magisters.
Brian definitely cannot choose option 1. He does not have 5 to 7 years to spend in the academy. He is already 18 years old and is no longer a child.
He can afford to wait, but the system can't.
Then we can only choose the second way. It seems that Duke Holman will have to waste his favors again and help Brian find a good magic teacher.
But Brian believed that Duke Holman would definitely be happy with it. After all, it would be a great honor to have a decent magician in the family, and it would greatly enhance the family heritage.
With excitement, Brian lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Knight Dills Horton, who lived in a room on the first floor of the castle, spent a sleepless night just like Brian.
He never thought that yesterday was just a routine courtesy to express his loyalty to Sir Brian.
He asked his new leader not to be shy about his surname and find a reason to kill him. Unexpectedly, this son of a duke did not follow the routine at all. Since he really agreed to his allegiance, he was appointed as the new guard captain.
My wife is still at home waiting for me to go back for dinner, and I can’t go back this time.
While Brian was summoning other nobles, Diers Horton secretly asked his friend Knight Munns to send a message to his wife.
"I am safe now. I have not been put under house arrest or killed by the new heir. Let her live a good life with her daughter. I will go back to see them during my vacation."
But looking at the look in his friend's eyes as if he was bidding farewell, he felt that the words must be misrepresented, but what was that excitement in his friend's sad eyes when he left.
