Chapter 25: The Entire Magic World Will Go Crazy Over This!
The next morning, a sharp whistle resounded throughout the border camp.
Last night, something had happened to the Border Patrol!
When the sun had just risen, the next shift of patrol went on their patrolling route to relieve the previous shift, but found ten frozen corpses instead.
In the central square of the border camp.
Looking at the ten corpses covered in white cloths, the commander, Neo, had a gloomy expression on his face. He clenched his fists hard.
He did it with such force that his entire body trembled slightly.
A few deputies and over a hundred soldiers surrounded the corpses. Some were angry, some were terrified, and some were feeling helpless.
All the corpses had the same cause of death. They were all stabbed by sharp weapons and died from excessive blood loss.
Moreover, all the stab wounds were on fatal parts of the body. There was rarely a second stab. They were mostly one-hit kills.
Clearly, the murderers were professionals.
Neo considered the few hostile forces that were active on the border.
First, they could eliminate the refugees from the Norton Duchy from the suspect list. A murdering method as professional as this was not something that the refugees could perform.
Therefore, the murderers could only be from the Cinda Kingdom.
Neo narrowed his eyes. The king of the Cinda Kingdom had been rather restless recently. It seemed that he had even formed an assassination unit…
It was only conjecture, but considering that such a serious thing had happened, he must give the Queen an explanation.
After an entire day of chaos in the military camp, a solemn atmosphere gradually settled over it.
The number of night patrolmen had more than doubled.
Each team was assigned a snow mastiff that could shoot magic bullets and had a strength level comparable to a mage apprentice.
That night, a messenger falcon was sent from the main camp.
His eyes following the magic beast as it flew away, Neo leaned against the chair in the military camp. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Barring any accidents, the news would reach the palace in the morning.
Looking at the oil lamp hanging above his head that gave off a dim yellow light, a feeling of sadness rose in Neo’s heart.
“Damn it, if we have a Grandmage holding down the fort like before, those bastards wouldn’t dare to touch us!”
“It’s a pity that there’s only one Lord Rennes. If only we have more powerful figures like Lord Rennes!”
…
Early in the morning.
In the Noah Imperial Capital.
Ding Ding Ding!
An urgent bell rang at Lifa’s bedside.
Hearing the urgent bell, Lifa abruptly sat up from the bed.
Ten minutes later, she had put on her clothes and come to the administrative hall of the palace.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the door.
“Reporting, Your Majesty! An urgent letter has arrived from the border!”
When Lifa was done reading the letter, her face became extremely unsightly.
“How dare the Cinda Kingdom do this. A few years ago, the previous kings of both our kingdoms had even discussed forming an alliance.
Who could have thought that after only a few years, they’re already making a move on our kingdom. Does this new king look down on me because I’m a woman?”
Lifa slammed the letter on the table angrily.
The popularization of “Introduction to Magic” could not be delayed any longer. It had to be implemented as soon as possible!
Lifa had experienced the sorrow of losing her country. She did not want to experience this feeling a second time!
Therefore, the kingdom had to become stronger!
..
The next day, letters were sent from the palace to all the provincial capitals in the kingdom.
It sent the entire kingdom into shock.
“Is it really true? There’s actually a method that can allow a person to become a mage apprentice with 100% success rate?”
“If that’s the case, my grandson doesn’t have to inherit the restaurant anymore. Can he become a mage?”
“Thank You, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is simply too magnanimous. She actually gave the populace this method for free.”
“I heard the highest administrative officers of each provincial capital have already started the preparation. I reckon that in a few days, this magic knowledge will be distributed down to us.”
“The determination and courage it takes to do such a thing is unimaginable. To let the entire nation become mages!”
“I heard Lord Rennes was the one who provided this magic knowledge. For something like this to reach the commoners, it must have been approved by Lord Rennes himself.”
“Long live Lord Rennes! Ever since Lord Rennes came here, the kingdom has been getting better and better!”
…
All over the kingdom, countless people were enthusiastically discussing this matter.
After a short period of shock, doubt, and excitement, they began to anticipate their turn.
The matter caused a huge sensation to hit the entire kingdom.
The ones making the loudest noise were the nobles in the capital. After all, they had all opened up their family coffer to obtain this method.
They had paid a high price for it, but in the blink of an eye, it was being taught to the people for free.
Although it was now proven that the “Introduction to Magic” was indeed effective, if they had known that Rennes was willing to teach it to the public for free, they would have never spent the money.
However, even though they knew that they had been cheated by the Chief Consul, they could only suppress their dissatisfaction and anger.
After all, Rennes was not someone to be trifled with!
This was the common understanding among all the nobles, so even if they were angry, they could only grit their teeth and endure it.
Thanks to Rennes’ intimidation factor, the backlash from this matter was not as big as Lifa had anticipated.
At least, a few days after the news was announced, the palace was still relatively peaceful. Only a few nobles had written anonymous complaints to the palace.
The contents of the letters were pretty much things like: “I’ve been deceived, and I hope the Queen can uphold justice”.
Lifa only chuckled in response as she threw the letters into the rubbish bin.
The news spread, and was soon made known to the neighboring countries like the Faroe Kingdom, the Norton Duchy, and the Cinda Kingdom.
However, when these kingdoms learned of the news, they only treated it as a joke.
After all, for hundreds of thousands of years, one could only become a mage apprentice by relying on their talent.
This was something that had been told to countless people ever since they were young. It was already etched into their mind.
However, they also wondered what was the point of the Noah Kingdom doing something like this?
If they had such a method, they would definitely keep it a national secret.
They would not let anyone know about it, much less spreading the method to the entire kingdom.
Therefore, even if they were skeptical, the major countries still sent elite spies to the Noah Kingdom, trying to investigate the credibility of this news.
After all, it was a method that could allow a person to become a mage apprentice with 100% certainty.
To be honest, it sounded as ridiculous to them as someone saying that they had a method that would allow pigs to grow wings and fly in the sky.
However, it paid to be careful.
If this news was confirmed to be true, it would not just affect the countries in the eastern part of the continent.
If the method actually worked, one could foresee that one day, the Noah Kingdom would become the focal point of the entire continent.
The entire magic world would go crazy over it!
