What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 183 Concentrate on Mining

"In addition, Lord Earl, you said earlier that you could not support more miners because of insufficient food. Perhaps Xia Ya can solve this problem for you." After laying the groundwork for a long time, Harvey finally stated the ultimate purpose of this trip.

"Oh? How to solve it?" Camille said absently, still focusing on the mechanical clock.

"We can provide some food and mining tools to help you expand the mining of the mine."

"Really?" Camille suddenly became interested.

"Of course." Harvey said with a smile: "Words may be false, but full ears of wheat will not deceive people. Whether it is true or not, adults will soon know. As for mining tools, our lords only use high-end alchemists. Interested in the products, those miners' hoes and carts made of surplus materials are of no use to Xia Ya, so why not sell them to you at a low price, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

"This is indeed the best of both worlds." Camille thought for a long time, and found that he had no losses at all in this transaction, and he also took advantage of it. Although the price of ore should be reduced a little, it can solve the food problem. For him It was a pleasant surprise.

Food is always the most troublesome problem for every lord, and it is estimated that only the second generation of demons like Colin Wayne, who is devoted to magic, can be so generous.

The two parties briefly discussed some transaction contents, and the specific details will be confirmed after the first transaction.

Soon Harvey left with a few entourages and returned along the original road in a carriage.

He opened the curtain and looked at the lively scene outside.

Because of the rich ore, the blacksmith shop in Earl Camille's territory is also very prosperous. In addition to using it for himself, he can often sell ironware to surrounding territories.

An apprentice who had followed Harvey for many years couldn't help asking: "Master, why did we sell mining tools and precious grains to Earl Camille at a low price? They made us a lot of money before."

"It's not just a mining tool. In the future, more and more commodities will slowly flow into the earl's territory."

"But...why?"

"In order for them to concentrate on mining, mining without any worries...slowly, they will find...that they will only be able to mine forever in the future."

The second part of Harvey's words was already very soft, so soft that the apprentice could not hear clearly at all.

He looked at the blacksmiths who were working hard in the earl's territory, and thought of the serfs, and said to himself with a little joy: "There are so many people..."

Union of Magic.

The Albert Prize Jury has been very busy recently.

This organization is composed of seven high-ranking magicians, three great magicians, and a magister, and the chairman Verne Silas personally serves as the honorary president. It has always been considered the most authoritative in the Western Continent and even the entire human world. academic review organization.

There is no need to apply for the Albert Award. As long as you have made a contribution to magic and meet the selection criteria, you will automatically enter the nomination stage.The selection is held once a year, with elemental theory, engineering, biology, magwenology, magic science, and history. There is one place for each major, and three to five nominations are contested.

Generally speaking, the nominated personnel will try their best to express themselves before the actual award, such as going to various colleges to give lectures to deepen everyone's impression of his thesis.

Of course, confident people can do nothing, especially those who have been famous for a long time or magicians who have won several awards.

After all, six Albert Awards are awarded every year, and there are only those top magicians. It is not uncommon for one person to win multiple awards. Instead, some professional awards are awarded once every few years, and may be more valued by professionals.

Of course, the Albert Award is the most influential and well-known award after all, and generally no one will refuse it.

But this kind of thing is not unheard of.

Just last year, Felix's "Practical Application of High-Energy Collapse Phenomena of Water Elements in Water Magic Models" published by Felix made an exception and won the nomination that year. As a result, the great magician with a unique temper was rejected.

Although this incident was shocking for a while, it was not too new. After all, Felix had already won the Albert Award three times. With his status and reputation, it didn't matter whether he won one more time or not.

However, no one expected that in the second year, this rare situation in decades would happen again.

The 22-year-old intermediate magician Cohen Snape, a professor at the Ilia School of Magic, also rejected a nomination for his thesis on "Shortening the Casting Time of Water Arrows by 10%".

Because of the same huge influence and easy verification, he was nominated in the same year as Felix.

But this fledgling young magician unexpectedly made the same choice as Felix.

Reject the Albert Prize.

The reason is also very simple: Professor Cohen Snape believes that his thesis is based on the proof of Laksili's fourth conjecture and Felix's thesis, but the first two did not receive the award, so he also Can only refuse.

This reason is reasonable, but somewhat hypocritical.

For a time, the name of Cohen Snape began to spread throughout the magic circle of the Western Continent, and most people thought that he was a bit reckless.Your Excellency Felix doesn't care too much because he has already won the Albert Award, and he has the qualifications to refuse, but how dare you not care about Cohen Snape?
However, the voice soon subsided.

Because within a few days, another news came that Cohen Snape's another paper on the Burning Mageweave Group could almost lock the next Albert Award in advance.

It wasn't until this time that everyone realized it.

This guy seems to be really qualified to refuse.

Felix doesn't care because he's got it;

And Cohen Snape knew that there would be another one next year, so he didn't care either, and at his age, he wouldn't have to worry about various awards in the future.

This kind of breezy pretentiousness makes people itch with hatred and envy.

Elijah Academy of Magic.

Principal's office.

"Your Excellency Hans, thank you for forgiving me for such a disregard for the overall situation." Colin picked up the black tea in front of him.

"There's no need to forgive." Principal Hans said with a smile: "Mr. Snape's academic rigor and indifferent attitude towards fame and fortune are worth learning for every magician in us."

Although the loss of an Albert Award is definitely a loss for the academy, on the one hand, this is a thesis completed by Snape independently, and the academy has no right to intervene; on the other hand, the previous thesis has already given the academy Big and cheap.

What's more, from a certain point of view, the topic effect of refusing the Albert Award may be greater than winning two awards.
