Throne of the North.

Chapter 152 Imperial School of Magic
After walking out of the shop called Winter Forest, Ryan and his friends no longer had any thoughts of wandering around.

There's no way around it. Just walking a few steps means thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins are spent. Do you really think Master Ryan is very rich?

If it weren't for the several wars in the North Wind Province, as a northern baron, Ryan's annual GDP would not exceed two thousand gold coins.

A baron like Baron Hutton only had a net income of two to three thousand a year. Now it should be around three to four thousand, but compared to the prices in the imperial capital, it is still a drop in the bucket.

The income of a barony can only be earned by walking around a shop on Palmyra Street.

"With these things, Winter will grow up quickly."

Brock said with some excitement, they all knew that Winter was not an ordinary horse.

Thinking of this, Ryan felt a little better, knowing that the money would not be wasted.

However, this also reminded him of the purpose of his coming to the South this time.

He needed potions and means to train war horses.

He even wanted to win over some magicians to become the exclusive magicians of his Frozen Territory.

For a noble territory, there are always only two most important types of extraordinary people.

One is a knight who has the potential to survive through hardship, and the other is a magician who has no other options except his natural talent.

The Knights currently have all the Ryans, but they don’t have a single magician.

Although Master Luna is a powerful wizard, the opponent is now in the form of a golem puppet and cannot complete any magic research or spells.

Medicine is a delicate job.

"There is only one place in the imperial capital that has warhorse training and potions, and that is the magic tower belonging to the royal family. However, the royal family will never let the potion formula for warhorses leak out."

"In this case, there is only one last place that may have it."

Ryan came to the most watched place in the imperial capital, the Magic Academy.

Since the struggle between theocracy and monarchy, after the Holy See withdrew from the empire, the empire began to introduce other supernatural beings, magicians being of course the most important. For this reason, the empire spared no expense to build a magic academy in the imperial capital.

The Knight Academy and the Magic Academy were the result of the Empire's struggle with theocracy. After driving out the Vatican, the Empire replaced the Vatican and began to recruit talented people from the civilian population for training.

It has to be said that the current emperor of the empire, Columbus III, was really courageous and far-sighted when he was young. The emergence of the two major academies has increased the empire's strength in all aspects by almost 10%.

As the only empire on the continent, one tenth of it is even equivalent to half a kingdom.

The Knight Academy is fine, after all, it requires a huge amount of resources, so most of the knights there are descendants of the powerful class.

But the magic academy is different. A magician is an extraordinary system that relies extremely on talent. So as long as you have talent, and the talent is high enough, the magic academy will be eager to cultivate you.

No need to pay anything extra.

This is the arrogance of a wizard.

The Empire previously allocated one million gold coins per year for repairs to the North Wind Province, and this amount was also the financial support that the Academy of Magic could receive each year.

How many people are there in Beifeng Province, and how big is its territory? The magic academy has only a few thousand people at most. However, considering that the establishment of the magic academy directly attracted the arrival of several legendary wizards, no one said anything.

Just like Ryan had invited Raistlin, a druid who was probably as good as a peak golden knight, and asked for 50,000 gold coins a year. Was that high? It was so high that he could even invite a sanctuary mage or even a legend to help him do something.

But what Ryan values ​​is not this, but the influence that the druid Raistlin can bring once he is in his territory.

Fifty thousand gold coins were traded not only for a druid, but also for the followers around the druid, that elite team. Even more, the appearance of the druid would attract more extraordinary people in this field to enter his frozen land territory. Those extraordinary people would most likely be persuaded by Ryan to be loyal to him because of the existence of the druid.

The extraordinary also have their own circles, just like the shops on Palmyra Street. Behind each shop, there are powerful extraordinary people. Do they know each other? Absolutely.

The appearance of a druid is equivalent to opening the conditions for the extraordinary circle.

Of course, magicians can also do it, Qianjin City Horse Bones, Ryan came to the South this time, not just to be a small transparent baron.

He had a lot of money, and the wealth brought by the war would be meaningless if it could not be transformed into powerful force.

Magic Academy, here we are.

Looking up, Ryan could see the gray and white buildings at the end of the wide street in front of him, as well as dozens of tall wizard towers in the buildings.

Each of these tall towers represents the existence of at least one great wizard. Thousands of wizards in the magic academy gather around these wizard towers.

They are both students and assistants. Wherever a great wizard is, a large number of magicians will naturally gather.

Not to mention anything else, the power of this magic academy alone is enough to subvert the entire North Wind Province.

"The empire is so powerful that it is no wonder it can become a beacon for the southern lands."

Ryan came without any preparation, because he had been to the imperial capital before and knew what kind of groups existed outside the magic academy.

How many people in the entire empire and the imperial capital want to invite magicians from the magic academy? Or want to ask the magicians there to do something?

However, it is difficult for outsiders to enter the magic academy, so a group like intermediaries will inevitably emerge.

Don't underestimate these intermediaries, they are not commoners, but children of nobles, or relatives and friends of a magician in the magic academy. Usually these two identities belong to the same person.

Magicians also lack money. It can even be said that no one lacks money more than them. So it is not surprising that magicians take private jobs.

An outsider might only see the owners of those dozens of tall towers, but Ryan knew very well that, whether it was a knight or a magician, there were too many guys who were poor and had unfulfilled ambitions.

Due to their lack of talent and resources, they pale in comparison to those dazzling people.

Aloof? Magicians are proud, but they are never aloof.

Otherwise, if three legends had come when the magic academy was established, there would be nothing to explain.

There are thousands of wizards in the magic academy now. Among them, it would be great if one or two of them could eventually become legends by chance, right?

After a few years or even more than ten years, when this batch of wizards leave the magic academy, how many of the new batch will become legends?
Although there seem to be many powerful extraordinary people in the imperial capital, most of them are old guys.

Most of those legends broke through in the previous pan-dimensional war between gods.
