Magic: My Magic Can Mutate and Evolve - Chapter 37

“Your plan is already being carried out, right!”

“Yes, His Majesty has already begun to carry it out. This time, I did not use my own power. Instead, I mobilized a spy we planted by Duke Norton’s side to have him carry out the plan in Duke Norton’s name.”

Napoleon frowned, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

“You’ve done well.”

After thinking for a while, Napoleon decided to praise this duke Mark Oscar who was working for him wholeheartedly.

A spy was important, but a spy who could not make a difference was never a good spy.

At the moment, the most important thing for Napoleon was to sow discord between the military nobles and the people.

As the second son of Duke Norton, Hughes, who was once a genius mage, was the most suitable person to start all of this.

As long as this matter was handled properly, he could make use of this examination at the Royal Academy of the Hiro Empire to completely break the relationship between the military nobles represented by Duke Norton and the people of the imperial city.

The value of this matter far exceeded the value of a spy.

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people will rule the world.

For hundreds of years, the military nobles represented by Norton had become more and more important in the hearts of the people of the empire.

If he wanted to change this situation, Napoleon had to produce evidence to prove that the existence of Duke Norton’s group of military nobles would harm the interests of the vast majority of the people of the empire.

Napoleon had also thought of a plan before this. After the conversation with Duke Mark Oscar yesterday, he rejected his own plan and chose to use the plan that Mark had proposed.

Because this plan directly touched the bottom line of the empire’s lowest class of citizens that could not be touched.

That was the path of ascension.

As the most prosperous empire in the magic civilization of Europa, the education system of the Hiro Empire had always been the pride of the citizens of the Empire.

Every citizen of the Empire believed that the education system of the Empire was fair and selfless.

For thousands of years, no noble dared to cross this line.

However, today, due to their set up, Hughes, as the second son of Duke Norton, would become the first person in 2,700 years to use his identity as a noble to forcibly twist the examination system of the Empire for his own benefit.

Once this matter was known by the citizens of the Empire, the tidal waves that would be stirred up would drown the entire military aristocracy.

Even without Napoleon VII personally taking action, the military aristocracy that Norton represented would be destroyed by the army that the angry citizens had voluntarily organized.

Not only that, the impact of this matter could continue to expand.

The army that Norton had might even mutiny.

This was because those low-level soldiers were mostly from the lowest-level families of the empire.

Before joining the army, they had all received magic education from the Empire. Some of them had even applied to the Royal Academy of the Hiro Empire.

Other than those low-level soldiers, the officers in the Empire’s army were mostly from the Empire’s top academies.

The officers who could enter the middle and high-level ranks were mostly graduated from the Royal Academy of the Hiro Empire.

To these people, the Royal Academy of the Hiro Empire was an existence that was not to be smeared.

Anyone who dared to smear the Royal Academy of the Empire would become their enemy.

Napoleon waved his hand to dismiss Mark Oscar.

He stood alone on the Mage Tower with a glass of wine in his hand, looking at the distant sky.

“Ancestor, is this the inheritance you gave me?”

“Don’t worry, I will not change the examination system that you have set. I will let this examination system remain forever. As long as the Hiro Empire exists, this system will continue to exist.”

“I will let your people remember your teachings forever. I will also reserve a pathway for the people at the bottom to advance. In the future, I will even take the initiative to expand this pathway.”

“I will make the ranks of the Empire move. I will make those people who have nothing to do walk down from their high positions. I will make those capable people stand on the throne.”

“However, the empire has existed for more than 2,700 years. There are too many flaws in it.”

“If I want to change it, I have to give it a powerful does of medicine. Otherwise, I will not be able to remove the cancer in the empire.”

“You will understand me, right?”

Napoleon VII’s gaze was incomparably solemn. Every time he made a major decision, he would walk up to the Mage Tower alone and announce his plan to his ancestor, Napoleon Bonaparte.

…

In the waiting area.

“The rankings are out. Everyone, come and take a look!”

“Really? I don’t see my rank?”

“Make way for me. I’m Baron Orloway’s second son. Whoever makes way for me, I’ll give him a bottle of mana recovery potion.”

“What’s wrong with the Baron’s son? Is the Baron’s son very awesome? If your grades aren’t good, you still have to climb.”

Hearing someone claiming to be Baron Orloway’s son, one of the examinees who was watching the rankings stood up angrily.

He pointed at the second son of Baron Orloway and cursed loudly. Hughes, who was sitting at the side, looked shocked.

At this moment, Hughes had already guessed Mark’s plan for today.

This was an open plot!

As long as Hughes did not give up on this exam, this plan would definitely be carried out successfully.

What they needed to do was very simple. They needed to do something in each exam to push Hughes to the first place in each exam.

Then, in front of all the examinees, they would come up with a scapegoat and declare that Hughes was openly cheating!

At that time, even if Hughes had 100 mouths, he would not be able to make any valid arguments.

Because his enemies would not give him any chance to explain, and the surging crowd would tear him into pieces on the spot.

Not only that, but his father, the Duke of Tulip, Norton, would also be affected by this matter.

Even the army would be greatly affected by this matter.

Cold sweat trickled down Hughes’ back. At this moment, he was already thinking of backing out.

At this moment, a delicate voice sounded in his ear.

“Brother, you got first place. Why don’t you go over and take a look?”

Looking up, Audrey’s eyes narrowed into crescents as she skipped over to him.

Behind Audrey stood a female mage in a red dress. It was Asuro herself.

Unlike Audrey’s elated expression, Asuro’s cold face was filled with anger.

“Audrey, go play by the side for a while. I have something to tell your brother.”

Audrey turned her head coldly and looked at her master in confusion.

After observing for a while, she noticed the determination in Asuro’s eyes.

She gave an obedient “Oh” and retreated to the side.

She quietly watched Asuro pull Hughes up and walk into the woods not far away.
