050. Talos Act (1)
This time the big news has nothing to do with the Eternal Tide, the Mage Alliance, and infrared detection. It originated from a motion submitted by the Sandra loyalists to the Kingdom Parliament at the family meeting in April, "The Special Genius Clause of the Naga Kingdom on Duty Military Service".
As a tradition that lasted for seven centuries in the Kingdom of Naga, the military service system stipulates that all citizens of the Kingdom of Naga must be recruited by the Kingdom or actively sign up for one year of duty within three years of becoming a formal profession.
——In the entire Naga Kingdom, only royal heirs and clergy can be exempted from military service, but the Temple of the Sea God sends a portion of formal priests to the military camp in the name of military priests to preside over religious activities and related ceremonies every year.
Therefore, refusal to work on duty in the Kingdom of Naga is a very serious offence and can be sent directly to a military court if necessary, with at least fifty years of imprisonment and courier labor sufficient as deterrence.
Sandra, Leonhard, Emma, Quintou, and all the Black Sea Knights have participated in military service.
They may have been injured during their service, but they did not affect their entire career.
Talos is different. The breaking of the meditation space directly deprives him of his ability to continue to release spells, which is a considerable blow and loss for the entire Nepton family.
At the beginning, the "Special Genius Terms for Military Service in the Kingdom of Naga" submitted by the Nepton family did not attract the attention of the parliament.
Because for a long time in the past, the topics of "noble privilege", "exemption of military service on duty" and "reasonable military service on duty" were always raised again every once in a while, and it was not the first time that the Parliament had seen similar proposals.
To be fair, military service on duty does allow a few beginners who should have taken certain steps on the path of professionals to go to the Coral Sea (the Kingdom of the Ocean Goddess) in advance, but the entire system ensures the number of basic reserves for the Naga Kingdom army every year, which is also an indisputable fact that it has positive and positive significance for improving the military's combat effectiveness, accumulating reserve troops and maintaining social stability.
The form changed for the first time after Talos invented infrared detection.
Without infrared detection, Talos might have been forgotten by people's regrets that people say nothing about their own business, just like those who had suffered misfortunes in military service before.
Even if it is a real regret, as time goes by, who will remember that a mage named Talos fell from the clouds and became an ordinary person because of his military service?
The emergence of infrared detection has made the parliament so clearly realize for the first time what kind of talent they are going to.
Even if he removes the glory and halo that the Nepton family shrouded on Talos, he is still a very talented mage. He is young and handsome, elegant in conversation, talented and willing to work hard. Except for the frivolous and ostentatious unique to young people and some minor shortcomings of the magic nobles, he can hardly find any problems.
What's more, he also invented a first-order spell that can detect second-order stealth spells and intermediate-order stealth feats.
To put it more exaggeratedly, this is a spell that can cause a chain reaction to the professional system - those prideful stealth feats in the shadow of mid-level thieves cannot even avoid the detection of a beginner mage!
Infrared detection is about to be selected as the standard textbook of the Rhea Magic School, further recognized, enhancing the value of this spell, dissecting the whole thing and presenting it in front of the parliament in blood, making them realize how serious the losses hidden under the surface tragedy are.
The more society pays attention to the Talos incident and infrared detection, the more it reminds them of this fact.
Most importantly, such a promising genius mage is only 17 years old this year. His future should be full of hope and countless possibilities.
They could have expectations for the achievements Talos had at the age of 57, 87, or 127, or witness the kingdom with one's own eyes that had another great wizard who was proficient in a certain magic faction, but now they could only watch him leave early.
"We need a special clause, not to exempt military service from duty. Of course, military service cannot be abolished, but to ensure that talents with special talents do not die due to unnecessary accidents."
Cristel Nepton, one of the ten permanent directors of the Eternal Tide Magic Council, immediately came out of the Mage Tower Magic Laboratory after learning of Talos' misfortune and the "Special Genius Terms" and held a banquet in the capital Hasimah under the name of the Nepton family.
The banquet invited a series of great figures, including the Chief Minister of the Kingdom, the Speaker of the House of the House, the Speaker of the House of the House, the Justice, the Minister of Defense, the Minister of War, the Chief Master of the Palace and the Queen's Advisor. The invitation from Crystal was either the upper-level officials of Hasimah or other high-level professionals.
Talos is a member of the family that Crystal is very optimistic about. When he was young, he personally conducted some magic enlightenment.
According to her plan, Emma would inherit the dual positions of the Black Sea Lord and the patriarch in the future and fully grasp the Black Sea. Under the arrangement of her and Frederick (the Nepton family (another permanent director of the Magic Council) and become one of them, it was perfect.
Everything was ruined by military service and two damn high-level mermaids.
Crystal did not hide his purpose at all and delivered a speech at the banquet on how to ensure the smooth growth of young talented mages and the disadvantages of military service at this stage, and mentioned the "Special Genius Terms" submitted by the Nepton family.
The speech of the great wizard and the "Special Genius Terms", of course, another important factor was the infrared detection technology invented by Talos, which immediately aroused the interest and resonance of many magic families and blood families.
Obviously, it is not only Talos who lost important family members or ended their careers early because of the loss of military service. It is only Talos' special background and outstanding talent that made him the fuse of this important event, igniting the dissatisfaction and determination that had been accumulated over the years.
These families, led by the magical family of the kingdom's oldest history, and combined with the speakers of the upper and lower houses, some members of the House, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of War and other important officials, influenced the parliament and the queen in various ways in the following time.
In the face of this powerful force, plus two high-level mermaids who are very suitable for transferring contradictions, everything became natural later.
