Start As a Lord In a Viscount

Knowing that Claire was interested, Sophia sat back upright and looked at Claire with a smile.

Come on, what else do you want? Greedy guy.

Claire also looked at Sophia with a smile, tapped her knuckles on the table lightly, and said, The Royal Capital Academy of Magic.

A strange color flashed in Sophia's eyes, and she repeated: Wangdu Magic Academy?

Claire nodded noncommittally, Yes, the Royal Capital Academy of Magic, I want ten places to graduate from there every year.

Claire knew from the beginning that this was a resource that could be traded, and Isaac was fooled by him to Nafford City. The mages are the productive forces of this world, and the mages in the Wangdu Academy of Magic are the talents in this world.

Now, Isaac is the only high-level mage in the academy of Nafhu City, and the rest are old men of low-level mage or apprentice mage, but it is impossible for Claire and Isaac to develop Nafhu City. Therefore, more talents must be recruited, and the top students who graduated from the Royal Capital Academy of Magic are the best candidates.

Sophia did not agree directly, but explained: There are more than 300 students graduating from the Royal Capital Academy of Magic every year, and half of them are going to enter the army, so there are still 150 left, and the royal family members are divided into three. Ten, the remaining 120 people, as well as the six major magister families, Merlin Fasheng's family, the major forces in the capital are divided, do you think I can make the decision and give you ten?

All the wizards who graduated from the Wangdu Academy of Magic are senior wizards and above. These are all very rare and expensive human resources. Sophia had spent a lot of effort in order to get Claire to poach Isaac.

Moreover, the current allocation of personnel has been fixed, and now she has ten fixed quotas for Claire every year. She can't be the master at all. Even if the ancestor of the August family's magister comes, he may not be able to divide the ten quotas. The fixed quota is given to Claire, and the other clan forces who have the quota can be of the same grade as them.

Claire continued to tap the table, pondered for a moment and asked, How many places did Shane and their Ansair family get?

Five, their family doesn't have a magister-level ancestor, and they can be divided into five all by the means and strength of their current patriarch.

Then I want three. Claire said lightly.

Sophia shook her head, Impossible, at most one.

Then two.

The only one I can call the shots. Sophia continued to shake her head and said that she planned to give up part of her interests and exchanged it with other families. She did not plan to give Claire the quota of her own family. Otherwise, those in the family would The old guy will definitely have opinions, which is not conducive to her continuing to control the August family.

Five million gold coins, buy one more place. Claire said lightly.

Per year?

Yes, five million gold coins per year, two places. Although at first glance, five million gold coins for a high-level mage is a bit of a disadvantage, but Claire doesn't think so, the graduates of the Wangdu Academy of Magic are all top students. , with such talents in his hands, he can play better and earn more resources.

That's not impossible. Sophia replied, there are many short-sighted forces who share the quota with them. As long as she operates a little bit, it is not impossible to spend five million to exchange a quota with them.

What about the magic academy in Hill City, how many places can I have? Claire asked with a smile. Hill City is the second largest city in the kingdom, a port city, and there is also a magic school in it.

You are greedy enough. Sophia smiled, But that academy is the private property of the two magisters, and our August family can't interfere, but I can give you a free entry threshold, As for how many places you can buy, it's up to you.

The dean of the Magic Academy in Hill City is two of the six major mages. Unlike the Royal Capital Academy of Magic, this Magic Academy is completely for-profit, and some talents who cannot enter the Capital Academy of Magic will spend money. Enter the Hill School of Magic for further education. Or the family was originally in Hill City, and many noble children who were unwilling to go out also studied in Hill Magic Academy.

In terms of basic facilities and equipment, Hill Magic Academy is not weaker than Wangdu Academy of Magic at all. It may be that the quality of students is a little worse. After all, Wangdu Academy of Magic is the most famous in the kingdom. The quality of teachers and teaching The level is also higher than that of the Hill Magic Academy. Some young mages who consider themselves to be geniuses or for the future must be the first choice of the Royal Capital Academy of Magic, not the Hill Magic Academy that can be attended with money.

Because the Hill School of Magic is profitable, the number of graduates can be purchased every year, and the number of places to participate in the election will be auctioned during the graduation season every year, which is the threshold that Sophia promised to give Claire free entry. As for how many places you can get after entering, it depends on who has paid the most money. Many mages in the viscount of the Earl Collar come from this magic academy.

The cooperation is pleasant. Claire showed a happy smile.

Seeing that Claire agreed, Sophia also smiled, and the burden in her heart was relieved. In fact, she was still a little worried when she won the 50% share, but she was daring and starved to death. Now It's even better when Claire joins.

Good cooperation, when can I go to the capital? Sophia asked. Although the war has not started yet, preparations have already begun.

Give me time for a day, and I can leave tomorrow.

Sophia stood up, walked to the door, picked up the top hat she just put down, and turned around and said, No problem, then I will wait for you in the capital.

I'll send you off. Claire also stood up.

No need, my Viscount. Sophia stood and stared at Claire's face for a few seconds while speaking, and then said, Compared to now, I still like you at the beginning.

Huh? Claire tilted her head.

How cute were you back then? Although you still haggle, your appetite won't be that big. Sophia pouted, You're not cute anymore, and you ask me for so many things.

Claire smiled noncommittally, doesn't this mean that the previous self was easy to bully.

Sophia also sighed incomparably in her heart. It has not been half a year since the first meeting, and the other party is almost on an equal footing with herself in the negotiation. It makes me feel weird.

...

After Sophia left, Claire called Reagan in and explained some matters.

Reagan is also used to it. His young master seems to have to go every once in a while, but he seems to get a lot of good things every time he goes out.

Don't worry, Master, I will definitely manage Nafu City. Reagan assured.

If there is any problem that cannot be solved, write to me in the capital.

learn!

At noon the next day, Claire rode the wolf king away from Nafu City. After the wolf king was promoted to the fourth-level monster, the speed became much faster, and because it was a wind-type monster, he could still fly in the air. When we arrive at Claire, we arrive at the capital.
