Chapter 17: Viscount Sequoia

Franco's heart really wasn't in magical communication. When a middle-aged aristocratic woman appeared, he immediately took his leave. Without waiting for their response, he "rolled" over.

Looking at Franco's distant back, Peno explained with a wry smile: "Master Franco is in love." ”

But Dipu couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart.

Dipu actually understood Franco's feelings. is over fifty years old, and the magic realm is still limited to the first level, and this life is basically hopeless, that is, drunk and dreaming of death in pursuit of pleasure.

But isn't Tip himself the same?

To be honest, due to Dipu's hard work and Natasha's medicinal boost, his mana accumulation has reached a very high level, and even Dipu himself doesn't know what realm he has reached. Anyway, it is already far beyond the level of a first-level magician.

But Dipu's magic was unleashed, and it was like having thousands of family possessions, but not being able to take them out.

So the current Dipu is also very sad about the death of rabbits and foxes. When you're old, you won't be like this Franco, right?

And thinking of this, Dipu couldn't help but be a little dazed. He found himself suddenly without a purpose in life. has become a noble little lord, and is about to have a coat of arms, so what should he do in his life? Is it really a mess and waiting for death?

Thinking about his bleak future, Dipu shuddered. I'm only 18 years old this year!

And as soon as Dipu's love was low, there was no way to continue the magic exchange. Pino was also very enthusiastic, and he noticed that Dipu had lost interest, so he simply introduced Dipu to the guests at the banquet.

There are so many people, it is impossible for Dipu to remember them all. He only noticed one very strange phenomenon. Among the swordsmen present, three were Sword Sects, and the remaining dozen or so were all fifth- or sixth-level Great Sword Masters. Since they were all dressed in swordsman's gowns, it was clear that none of them were of noble origin. According to Peno, those swordsmen were all high-ranking officers of the Marquis of Grenwell.

On the contrary, he is a magician, and even a magic apprentice can enter the room. This treatment gap is too huge, right?

Before attending the banquet, Dipu was a little ashamed that he had no formal clothes and could only wear a magician's robe. I didn't expect the identity of a magician to be so noble. At this point, Dipu was a little proud, and he felt that he had done the right thing.

At this moment, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a square face came in at the door. And Pino's introduction attracted Dipu's attention: "This is Willy, Viscount of Sequoia, young and promising. ”

On the way, Dip also learned a little about the situation around Blackeye Castle. He knew that the Redwood Collar was the same as his own Black Eye Collar, the two major territories of the Grenville outpost.

It should be said that the geographical location of the redwood collar is not as good as the black-eyed collar. So originally the redwood collar was also a viscounty, and the black-eyed collar was an earldom.

But with the decline of the Blackeye Collar, caravans and mercenary groups gradually borrowed the Sequoia Collar, making the territory prosperous.

However, the current Dipu has no intention of comparing. No matter what, the Blackeye Collar and the Sequoia Collar are both in a relationship of mutual help. So he took a few more looks, Viscount Willy, Redwoods.

Finding out that Tip was interested in Willy, Viscount Sequoia, Peno also introduced it with great interest: "Your Excellency the Viscount is a top student of the Royal Academy, majoring in military science, and is a protégé of Marshal Phoenix. Originally, His Excellency the Viscount had to study at the Royal Academy for a few more years, but because of the assassination of the old Viscount, he had to return to China to inherit the territory. Originally, everyone thought that His Excellency the Viscount was too young and that it might take several years to fully control the territory, but they didn't expect that he was indeed amazing, and quickly captured the criminals who assassinated the old Viscount, and defeated several bandits who were ready to move on the sunset plains one after another. Therefore, in the current kingdom, no one dares to underestimate His Excellency the Viscount. ”

As for Peno's words, Dipu could roughly understand them.

The Royal Academy is also an institution on the same level as the Divine Ruins Academy on the mainland, because only the Verona Empire has a royal family on the mainland, so the full name of the Royal Academy is - Verona Royal Noble Academy.

By now, of course, the Royal Academy is basically open to civilians. However, there were still a few departments in the academy, which still maintained the established tradition of admitting only noble cadets.

For example, the most popular department in the academy - military science. Even civilians, after making military achievements, can only be enrolled in advanced studies by being awarded the title of the lowest quasi-noble-knight. Moreover, due to the relationship between the suzerain, the Royal Academy also admitted a small number of noble children of the vassal kingdom, just like Willy, the Viscount of Sequoia.

And the name of Marshal Phoenix is even more resounding in the sky. He was the chief marshal of the Verona Empire, and had many brilliant military exploits, and his subordinates and disciples were all over Verona's army. It can be said that Marshal Phoenix is the one who is in charge of the military field of the entire continent.

But even so, Marshal Phoenix's personal disciples are very few after all. And Viscount Willy of Sequoia can enter the eyes of Marshal Phoenix, which proves that his military ability is also outstanding.

To explain here, military science and individual force are two completely different fields.

For example, if two hundred mid-level archmages and great swordsmen meet a thousand low-level mages and swordsmen, they can completely win. But if there is a good military commander, the outcome of this victory is not easy to say. This is because the military emphasizes close cooperation between various branches of the armed forces. Therefore, a good military commander does not necessarily have a high level of personal force, but he certainly has a high level of military intelligence.

Of course, to be able to become an excellent military commander, his own personal force will not be too bad. Marshal Phoenix, for example, is a paladin. Although his strength is not too strong among paladins, it can be regarded as the top individual force on the continent.

Therefore, on the other hand, the Shenxu Academy is actually mainly for cultivating individual force, while the Military Department of the Royal Academy is mainly for training military command talents. The two faculties train in slightly different directions.

So after listening to Pino's introduction, Dipu couldn't help but be a little speechless. I didn't expect such a remote place to be a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and I was lucky to meet one when I attended a banquet. You really can't underestimate anyone!
