Law of the Devil Chapter 184: [Share spirit]

Chapter 184 [Sharing Spirit]

The establishment of the Empire ’s Magic Academy is officially on the agenda.

The location of the college was decided a few months ago. The future Imperial College is a military fortress located not far from the Acropolis in the southwest of the imperial capital. That military fortress has been established for decades, and its former role was to serve as the arch guard of the imperial capital. However, with the establishment of the Acropolis, its usage has been greatly reduced. Except for the annual spring exercise, this military fortress is basically semi-idle.

Selecting this place as the school site of the Magic Academy has many considerations. The most important point is to save money. The empire's finances are not generous. If a large military academy is re-established, it will cause a lot of extra huge expenditures to the empire's finances. Using an existing military fortress is undoubtedly a good choice.

Furthermore, the school address is far from the Imperial City and far away from the magical union. On the one hand, there are nearly 20,000 Guards Corps. The consideration that an Acropolis is nearby must be from Prince Chen.

The original training ground in the military fort was planted with large green areas and flower gardens, and the rows of permanent barracks inside it were converted into school buildings.

As a magic school, a base for training magic talents for the empire, for the sake of confidentiality, it also added a thousand guards around it.

In such a fortress that can accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers, it was less than two hundred people in the early days.

A hundred students were finally determined after all aspects of the empire had been intensively contested. Du Wei was not involved in this contention, and he was happy to stay out of the business. In the end, the magic union was assigned 30 places as expected. For the imperial family, Prince Chen directly selected forty from the lineage nobles who were most loyal to the royal family.

The last thirty places. It was sent by the military.

Magic unions account for 30%, the royal family 40%, and the military 30%.

According to a secret agreement reached by several parties, this proportion will continue to be used in the future.

On the other issues of the school, the royal family and the magic union once again had a fierce battle.

The magic union hopes to turn this magic school into a situation where purely "traditional" magicians are trained. What is a traditional magician?

Simply put it: proud, noble, with the dignity of a magician. High in status, mysterious, and ... stupid.

Of course, this evaluation comes from the mouth of Prince Chen. He is very dissatisfied with this, because in the regent's plan, the establishment of this magic college was not to cultivate a new batch of "magic masters"! Imperial army, royal family. All need a group of magician talents to serve them! Not a group of masters who need to hold their own!

In the past, those noble magnates spent a lot of wealth to attract a magician, even some nobles with a distinguished status, but they were also polite to those magicians and even bowed their knees. It is possible to get the favor of those magicians.

But this is absolutely forbidden to Prince Chen!

"I don't want a group of uncles! I want a group of people who can serve the Empire!"

But Chen's opinion was opposed by the magic union, because the magic union thought it was detrimental to the magician's majesty. from their perspective. The magician should be high above the ground.

Under the collision of two viewpoints, Du Wei finally entered the palace one day quietly, and gave an idea to Prince Chen.

"Why do wizards have a high status? Why are they high? That's because there are too few magicians on the mainland now. If there are as many magicians as there are samurai knights now ..." Du Wei said: "I saw a lot of low-level samurai standing there waiting to find a job in the slave market. They are not farmers, not poor people, not tramps, not even beggars. Each of them has at least one low-level samurai land level. ！ But they are not as good as the dignity of beggars. It is because there are too many warriors on the mainland now! If the number of magicians reaches a certain level, then magicians are not unusual. "

"But the establishment of the Academy of Magic. It should greatly alleviate this problem." Prince Chen said: "The establishment of the Academy of Magic, there will be a large number of magicians out of this Academy in the future, the increase in number is expected."

"This is not enough." Du Wei shook his head: "Basically, I think there is a big problem with the way to train magicians."

Next, Du Wei expressed some opinions, which made Prince Chen very much agree.

"For a long time, the transmission of magicians has been a private apprentice. The portal is very tight. It can even be said. Every magician keeps the secrets of his magic knowledge strictly and will never let him easily. Outsiders know. And more importantly, the current profession of magicians makes me think that there is a big flaw, that is ... 'users' and 'researchers' are not correctly distinguished. "

"Every magician has spent most of his life researching, studying magic, exploring the mysteries of magic. But the problem is ... because they are blessed with each other, they keep their research strictly confidential, which makes them very different. There is little communication. The result is a ridiculous phenomenon: Maybe many magicians have researched things in their lives that are exactly the same as other magicians! Many magicians have spent their lives studying the same results. . This is too wasteful. We need a large number of people who know how to use magic, not a group of researchers. In my opinion, researchers are needed, but it is not necessary for every magician to act as a researcher. Role, most people just need to know how to use it. "

This is a very simple truth, just like Dewey's previous life, any middle school student knows Newton's law of gravity. Everyone just needs to learn and know how to use this law ... but it is not necessary for each student to research and discover this law by himself?

Just learn how to use it! If you really want students to spend half their life to study this law like Newton ...

Hmm ... Du Wei's view, this is also a big imprisonment that restrains the development of the number of magicians.

The correct popularization method should be: you do n’t need to research, you just need to master how to use it.

Everyone knows that one plus one equals two, but there is no need for everyone to delve into the "Goldbach Conjecture", right?

But there is a phenomenon that makes Davy feel ridiculous nowadays: even some low-level magicians. When learning some low-level magic spells, you must rely on yourself to study the mysteries of these spells, including how to reduce some notes that can be omitted, and so on ... In fact, their teachers may have mastered these skills. , But those magicians will never easily tell anyone their research results, even their disciples! Rather bring it into the coffin!

Du Wei spent an afternoon explaining this to Prince Chen, and tried to use simple language to explain the patterns of popular education that he knew in previous lives. Prince Chen heard his eyes bright. Finally, he shot the case and saw the excited expression on his face.

But the next question is: how to make the existing magicians contribute their research results?

After that, Du Wei and Chen Zi studied for a long time.

What do they value most for wizards?

Is it money? No, each magician has considerable wealth, the magic crystal in their hands. Magic gems, in the eyes of ordinary people, are treasures, but to magicians, they are just magic materials.

Women? Not even ... the magician focuses on the study of magic. They have no time to waste on such things.

Power? Still not.

Finally, Du Wei came to a conclusion: status and reputation!

Magicians attach great importance to their status, and many times they are recruited by noblemen. They are deliberately holding a shelf, because they think that if they are easily solicited, they will lose their identity. Status is very important for magicians.

Fame is more important to magicians.

Du Wei added a nearly vicious statement, in his view, most magicians in this world are very "pretentious."

Most of them.

When he said this. He even forgot that he and Prince Chen were both magicians.

Magicians like to be high above them, have a high status, like to put on display, and like to make an inaccessible look. They have weird temperaments (or weird outfits). They yearn for great fame, but at the same time they act out An indifferent look.

This. What is not pretending?

"So. They want names, we give them names. They want status, we give them status!" Du Wei laughed: "This may attract some magicians to contribute their research results. We can These research results are compiled into a set of fixed things and given to the students in the college. They don't need to study from scratch. They just need to learn how to use them. "

So, on the day of the establishment of the Academy of Magic, at the opening ceremony, His Royal Highness Prince Chen, the actual ruler of the empire, was present in person, and the name "Imperial Academy of Magic" was inscribed on the wall outside the Academy. This is also Du Wei's suggestion.

Later, in the presence of the first batch of magic students, a dozen court magicians, and many magic union magicians present, Prince Chen suddenly announced an unplanned event:

"At the same time that the Academy of Magic was established, a new organization of magicians was announced: the Empire Magic Society!"

The Imperial Academy of Magic belongs to the Academy of Magic in name. The difference between this society and the magic union is that it is not a strict organization that has any management or legal regulations on magicians. It is relatively loose and does not have any management and restrictions on magicians.

The so-called "learning" is mainly for the magicians to conduct academic discussions and exchange their research results in the field of magic. The Society will commend and reward the magicians who have researched the results.

The reward situation is not calculated by gold coins ...

On a very eye-catching corridor behind the square of the Academy of Magic, on a wall made of pure jade, a statue is strikingly carved at the first position at one end of the wall.

This is a bust of an old magician. His face was lifelike, the white cloak robe, the smile with great grace, even every fine wrinkle on the face was very clear.

And under it, a line of pure gold is engraved with a few words:

"Sicily-Jacques-Gandov (Empire 710-Empire 960), known as the Magister of the continent, his main contributions: discovered six ways of hatching dragon eggs and thirteen rare magic plants. As well as the improvement of seven intermediate magic spells, and a new advanced magic spell, etc., thanks to Master Gandov for his contributions, so that future generations can learn his research results. "

The statue of Gandolf and the gold plate describing some of his main deeds are placed at the entrance of this jade corridor. In the back, the 300-meter-long corridor was empty, leaving enough space!

"... The establishment of this society is not responsible for constraining magicians. This is just a purely academic discussion and communication organization." Prince Chen stood on the high platform, with his unique spring breeze on his face. Smile: "Any magician can apply to join the society, without paying any membership fees, and without any obligation to contribute to the society. Of course ... it is not absolute. Just enter the society. You can consult the society Other magicians who have saved here exchange their contributions on the research results of magic. Of course, this is conditional, for example, now the early days of learning to build. Thank you, Mr. Dewey, and Vivienne, both of them. They are all disciples of the late Magister Gandov. They have set an example and contributed some of the research results of Gandov during his lifetime. Every new member, if you like, You can also contribute some of the results of your magic research, and then you can consult any of the materials that the society has saved ... including Gandalf. This is the spirit of our teacher to learn magic: Sharing "!

The audience is uproar!

Especially those magicians!

Can you check out the magic research results left by Master Gandorf? This is for the magician. Conditions with extreme temptation!

Later, Prince Chen announced some details about the "sharing" of the Magic Society.

In the early days, some research results of Gandov contributed by Du Wei and Vivian have been divided according to five grades, from one star to five stars.

In the future, as long as you contribute your research results, newly invited wizards will be evaluated by several senior and famous prestigious wizards. For example, your contribution is awarded three stars. Then you get three opportunities to "share". You can freely check the research results of any level below three stars saved in the society. Of course, there are only three chances (three times for Samsung. Four times for four-stars and one time for one-star). If you want to read more, you must also contribute your own new research results.

The only exception is that if your research contribution is evaluated as five stars, then you will be eligible for sharing for life, and you can access all the materials in the society at any time during your life!

Every magician is secretly calculating. If you can get the research results of Master Gandorf, even if only a small part is saved in the society, then it will be of great value to improve your magical strength! In this case ... it is worthwhile to come up with your own research results ...

After all, it is the research result of Master Gandorf!

In addition, as more and more magicians join the society, they can get more research results by themselves!

Looking at the eager expressions on the faces of the magicians below, Prince Chen was very satisfied. He gave Du Wei a grateful glance, and then continued to announce: "The second rule of the society is: We will invite several Our great consultants who are famous on the mainland, or have great strength, act as our consultants. These consultants will evaluate the research results contributed by each magician. Then evaluate the level ... Finally, each is a contribution The results of the research are all qualified magicians ... "said here, Prince Chen pointed his hand at the long corridor:" Well, your portrait, as well as the great deeds of your life, will be placed there! With the late Master Gandorf. Accept the admiration of future generations, even after hundreds of years, your glorious image will still be preserved there! "

Portrait with ... the portrait of Master Gandorf?

More magicians, my heart is almost ready to move!

So, isn't it already in this corridor that you are qualified to be listed with Gandalf?

What glory is this?

It's different from the expression of surprise or excitement or hesitation on many magicians' faces.

Jago Doug, the face of the chairman of the magic union. It was very gloomy. He stared at the Regent on the stage, his eyes full of anxiety.

"The third rule of the society is ..." Prince Chen said here, paused deliberately, "Before the establishment of this academy, every magician could at most recruit disciples. How many people will inherit your great achievements? One? Two? Three or five? Then in the future, this phenomenon will change! The research results you contribute to the society will be divided according to grades. The basic content comes as the course content for the students of the Academy of Magic! So in the future, it is foreseeable that as long as the new generation of magicians appearing on the mainland, this Academy goes out. The place where they study will be Your research results! Each of them can be regarded as your disciples, and everyone will remember your great name in your studies. And your great contribution to magic! To be sure, even if you count For a hundred years, your name will still be firmly recorded in the book and in the hearts of all magicians! "

This last temptation has shaken almost even the Leonid mage standing next to Chairman Yagodug!

This guy with a look of debtor can't help but let out light!

How many bad places are there in this world? Except those saints who are really weak and fame. But most people, after all, do not have that saint quality.

Even if you can't let it go through the ages. Also stink for ten thousand years! This is the way most people think!

Now that the magicians on the mainland are famous, but how many years after they die, how many will remember them? Even if it was Gandov, he was great. After a hundred years, I am afraid that few people would remember him except for his disciples.

But. If like Prince Chen said. It's totally different!

In the future, every magician will learn from me, and they will remember my name! Even after hundreds of years ... even a thousand years! A magician on this continent. I still remember my name!

Magicians have nothing to pursue in their lives, bad money and beauty power ... then status and reputation are the only things they pursue!

"Finally, the last important thing I want to announce is ..." Prince Chen deliberately paused, and when the audience focused on himself, he announced with a smile: "Everyone You know, this year is 960 years of the Roland Empire. But from now on, the Academy of Magic and the Academy of Magic will regard this year as an important coordinate in history! From this year, in the field of magicians , We will call it the “Magic Era”. The Magic Society will prepare to compile a “Magic Era History”. From this year, every magician who has contributed to the Magic Society, your name is Will be compiled into this "History of the Age of Magic"! Of course, the first to be included in the history of the Age of Magic is our late Master Gandorf. And the next name ... is likely to be Anyone present here. This history will be constantly compiled and added as a historical material to record the magical civilization of the mainland! And ... the Academy of Magic will take "The History of Magic Age" as a compulsory course! Every One learn , Should learn this magic era of history! "

The sun on the opening day softly sprinkled on Emperor Chen's face. His unique personality charm was displayed without reservation. Most of the magicians present were tempted!

What do people live for a lifetime? If you can leave your name in this world and admire countless posterity ... How many people can resist this temptation?

Du Wei's series of plans are not intended to wipe out all the magicians. But conservative estimates, as long as it can move a small part of the magician's heart ... then you can lay a good foundation for the initial establishment of this magic society! With the gradual development, there will always be a glorious day!

Now it seems. Attentive, it's not just a small part.

Finally, Prince Chen calmly threw out something that seemed normal, but it could be said to be a "killer!"

"From today on, every student of the Academy of Magic will automatically obtain the basic membership of the Academy of Magic after graduation. Moreover, the Academy of Magic allows dual status. In other words, we do not care if you are any other organization Members can join the Magic Society because we are just a purely academic discussion organization.

Chairman Jacob Young's heart sinks to the bottom!

Every student will automatically become a member of this society after graduation?

Hell! So after many years, how many magicians on the mainland will become members of this society!

At that time, what is your own magic union?

After the prince Chen finished his speech, when he came down, he walked past Chairman Jago Doug. Mr. Chairman couldn't bear it, couldn't help but whispered: "His Royal Highness, regarding this newly-constructed society ... you don't seem to mention it to me!"

Prince Chen smiled a little, with a selfless look: "Mr. Chairman, this is a good thing to promote magic. I believe you will not object, right?"

Chairman Jagodug has gritted his teeth, which he really cannot object to. However, I thought about it for a while. He slowly said, "Then my question is, who will be the president of this new magic society? I think we should invite a well-recognized and respected great magician."

Due to this, Du Wei smiled secretly.

This Mr. Chairman can't bear it anymore! This is already very explicit!

Recognized and respected great magician?

Well, on the mainland, except for the late Master Gandorf. Next, the well-respected great magician is not his chairman, who else?

But don't even think about it!

Prince Chen smiled slightly and said, "Sir, my intention was indeed like this, but then we thought about it and thought. Since this is a new organization. And it is a completely free academic discussion, not Admittedly, any task that constrains magicians. So, I don't think it is necessary for this new organization to set up the post of "President". In the early days of the society, there will be a group of magicians to form a committee to perform some basic management. And who is on the committee ... ... "

Jago Doug raised an eyebrow.

"People, I think the selection should be based on the purpose of the Society to" share the spirit. "That is, to evaluate based on contributions! So, I think that only those who have contributed to the Society can be eligible to enter this committee. Therefore, at present, it seems that the candidates that were initially drafted are only Master Gondov's disciples: Master Du Wei and Master Vivian. Oh yes, Master Vivian, you must have seen it. Just a few years ago, her magician badge was issued by you. "

Just as Jago Doug frowns and prepares to word his opposition, of course he must object! Does such a magic society allow two children to serve as members?

"Of course, there can't be only two members for the committee." Prince Chen laughed. "Fortunately, there were not many management tasks in the early days. It was just some codification work. It was easy, but in the future ... the number of members will increase. Must look at contributions! Only those who have contributed to the Magic Society are eligible for selection. So ... "

The meaning is simple.

You want to get in, it's very simple, first contribute some magic research results!

It is worth mentioning that, many, many years later, in the history of the empire, this day was designated as the "Magic Era", and historians' records of this day are very objective:

"It was originally thought that the establishment of the Academy of Magic would break the magic monopoly of the mainland. But now it seems that the establishment of the Academy of Magic is just a signal for the beginning. And the" Magic Society ", the establishment of this emerging organization , Finally formed a new pattern, officially broke the mainland's thousand-year-old magic monopoly pattern! A free, full of emerging spirit organization, has stood on the mainland ever since. "

On the second day of the opening of the Academy of Magic, the Magic Society received applications for joining six magicians. Although the first six magicians were the highest intermediate wizards, this was after all a Good start, the six magicians contributed some of their own research results, and obtained different levels.

After obtaining the right to share, they chose to consult Gandov for research results based on their star rating. As a result, everyone was very satisfied.

This signal reassures many other magicians who are watching. After all, some people are skeptical. God knows whether this "Magic Society" is trying to deceive its research under the guise of Gandorf. The results?

With the good start of the six magicians in the early days, in the next few days, more and more magicians apply for membership.

On the fifth day, the joining of two heavyweights strengthened the cornerstone of this new organization!

Master Gandolf's oldest disciple, the behind-the-shoulder mage Ilnes, became the sixteenth member of the Magic Society and, based on his contributions, immediately became one of the members of the society.

The other one who joined is Master Elric! He contributed a few precious potion recipes and several new uses for magic gems. At the same time, he was immediately qualified as a member.

The addition of two heavyweights has strengthened the confidence of more people who wait and see.

And on the tenth day, an important event happened!

In the magical union, Leonid, who is considered to be the most close partner of Chairman Yagodug, was Leonid, who looked like a creditor, and finally could not bear the temptation of Liufang Best, and joined the society. !!

Understandably, after all, he is over a hundred years old, and God knows how long he can live. In the magical union, there is Jago Doug, and he is unlikely to become the chairman of the union. And leaving his name after death seems to be his only pursuit.

On the afternoon of the day Leonid announced his joining the Institute. What was not known happened in Mr. Jacob's office.

Mr. Chairman, who usually pays attention to the meter, smashed his desk angrily. Under his anger, he almost destroyed his office with fire magic.

"This is betrayal! Naked betrayal!" Mr. Chairman looked sullen and shouted angrily.

In the early days of the establishment of the society, the list of members responsible for managing the society is as follows:

Mr. Dewey (Magic Pharmacist, Bachelor of Magic, disciple of the late Master Gandov), Ms. Vivian (Magician 8th grade, disciple of the late Master Gandov), Ilness Mage (magic ninth grade, disciple of the late Master Gandov), mage Elric (magic ninth grade, magic pharmacist), mage Leonid (magic ninth grade) ... and a special The members are: Imperial Regent, His Majesty the Future Emperor, Prince Chen (Court Magician).

The joining of Prince Chen is not surprising. After mastering the court magician team, he easily handed in a research result contributed by the court magician, and then smoothly entered the management committee of the magic society.

The composition of this list is enough to convince all magicians.
