Advent of the Archmage Chapter 84: New apprenticeship at East Valley Magic Academy
In the afternoon, Jacques set out to inquire about the cliff of Howling Wind. He went shortly and returned in more than an hour.
"Sir, no one has heard of this place name, but a bard said that from the characteristics of the place name, he seems to have seen similar places, more than 200 kilometers north of Gwent Forest." Jacques brought back a vague message.
Linke thought for a while, and said, "Let ’s get a reward investigation task. We will pay people to investigate this place. When there is news, contact me."
"OK, sir." Yake nodded.
Linke has been packing for a while, and Lucy is helping. She is usually a very capable woman, but at this time it is a whirlwind, and all kinds of instructions, like the mother, can't wait to follow Link to the East Valley Magic Academy.
Linke was both upset and heart-warming. In the end, he had to mess up a lot of daily necessities in the space pendant, what towels, thick quilts, changing clothes, and even all kinds of Lucy made it on purpose. There are everything from delicious snacks to almost stuffing space pendants.
In the early morning, Link got into an hired carriage and went all the way to the East Valley Magic Academy.
Nothing along the way.
More than an hour later, the gate of the East Valley Magic Academy appeared in front of him. The goalkeeper Vincent was still basking in the sun in his garden. When he saw Link coming down from the carriage, he sneered and said, "Boy, I I thought I couldn't see you in my life. I didn't expect you to be enrolled in the Academy of Magic. "
Although the magician Link is quite famous in the valley town, the East Valley Magic Academy is a worldly existence. Among them, the magicians have eyes above the top and don't care about ordinary people's lives at all. Link That reputation never came at all.
Coupled with the hidden feathers of Verora, so in the eyes of Vincent, Link is still the poor boy with low magic talent.
Of course, Link won't take Vincent's ridicule down to his heart, and pay him a mage ceremony, smiling: "Yeah, I'm also very lucky. Then, Mr. Vincent, I'll go first It's over. "
"Go, don't let down your good fortune." Vinson nodded characteristically, although the talent is not good, but the boy was very humble, he regarded it as an ordinary magic apprentice who can no longer be ordinary .
The number of such apprentices he meets each year is less than a thousand, and there are also eighty.
Linke walked into the East Valley, and behind it was a flat path. He walked along the path all the way, about a few hundred meters, and a corner appeared. When he walked over, the vision suddenly brightened, and he suddenly became cheerful!
In front is a very wide valley.
The golden sunlight flows down like a waterfall, with a large flat land in the middle of the valley. On the flat ground, there are magical towers with blue tops and gold rims. At the top of the tower, there are countless brilliant magic runes flowing, and a stream of elements crisscross in the air. Like spider webs, each tower is connected to each other. together. Between the towers, dotted with flowers and green trees, and a small stream meandering around the college, the clear stream is shining in the sun.
What a magic city!
‘It ’s a beautiful place, but unfortunately it may soon be in ruins. ’In Link ’s heart, there is admiration and regret.
Although he has now obtained the demonized rune, which initially undermines the plan of the Dark Elves, the Dark Elves are not dead. They will definitely try to find another way to release the demon Taruvis.
What will the other party do? Link couldn't guess that the only thing he could do was to continuously improve his strength before the disaster, and if the disaster really happened, he would not stand idly by.
There is a huge square near Taniguchi. People walk from time to time on the square. They are all magicians. They look hurried and seem to be racing against time.
At the front of the square, there is a giant statue of a magician.
Linke walked over and looked at the nameplate at the bottom of the statue, which said: ‘East Valley Magic Academy founder, first dean, 8th-level magician Imbron. ’
Here is also a sentence said by the Dean: "For magic to last, two things must be done. First, to search for truth. Second, to search for the power to defend truth!"
Lin Ke could not help but nodded: "This old gentleman really understands people."
Crossing the square, Link took out a piece of paper, which was a road map given by Verora: "From the square, along the widest road, go all the way, the third high tower on the left, and a hound stands at the door. The statue ... Ah, I found it. "
The magician Bell has a rank of 6 and is very high in the East Valley Magic Academy. He is a member of the core 6-member council of the Magic Academy. His magic tower is obviously taller than the surrounding towers and the decoration is more refined. luxury.
At the door, Link summoned a magic water mirror. This is a little trick. Link learned it when he was bored. He cleaned up his clothes and knocked gently on the door.
After a while, the wooden door opened. It was a young magician who opened the door. Looking at his age, he was about thirty years old, and Link observed the other party's information.
Drack
Class 2 ordinary wizard
Identity: One of the apprentices and assistants of the magician Bell.
The message is brief and does not show the magic the opponent has, but this is enough.
Draker saw an ordinary, no ordinary boy standing outside the door. If there was any magical energy on his body, he was thin and poor, and his brows frowned slightly. In the morning, the instructor Bell greeted him. He said that there would be a young man coming to learn magic and let him be the host.
This was originally a trivial matter, but when he saw the boy, Druck felt disdainful: "A waste coming in through the back door!"
This is his evaluation of Link.
Drack is not good at hiding his emotions, but he also knows that although such people are wasteful, they can be instructed by the instructor in person. It should not be shallow in the background, so it is not easy to offend. After frowning, he was cold. A face asked, "Are you Link?"
"Yes, I am." Link saw the contempt in his opponent's eyes, but he didn't care. He came to learn magic, and incidentally investigated the Bell Wizard. As for other things, he didn't have time to bother.
"Have you brought a letter of recommendation?"
"Of course." Link sent a letter from Verola to him, but the letter was written by Anne as a royal family.
Receiving the envelope and looking at the roaring lion's mark on the fire paint, Drark's heart was irritable again: "What a good luck boy, I don't know what the ability is, and I can climb to the royal family. "
He looked even colder: "Come in."
Follow Drak into the lobby on the first floor. The lobby is very spacious and bright. There are many tables and chairs. Many young people are here. The number is about thirty.
Some young people are studying hard, some are quiet and contemplative, some are experimenting with magic. At the corner of the hall is a large semicircular bookcase filled with books, with at least three hundred books.
On the other side of the hall, there is a small wine cabinet. There is even a bartender behind the cabinet. On the side of the cabinet, a few young people are chatting softly while drinking, similar to a pub. Link listened and found that they were talking about magic.
"The learning atmosphere is very strong." Link sighed.
He felt the breath of magic in these young people carefully. He found that the young people here had at least the level of intermediate magic apprentices, and there were many people who were just one step closer to becoming formal magicians.
"This level is much higher than Fleming College." Link sighed.
Drark brought Link to a table at the far corner of the hall and stood up: "This is your position. You are an auditioner. When a tutor teaches, you can only listen, not ask , Let alone the order in the classroom, understand? "
In a word, Link has only the right to participate, but not the right to speak, because his magic foundation is too low, and the questions asked will delay the time of other formal apprentices.
But this is enough.
Linke nodded: "I remember."
"Fine. Follow me, I will take you to your room."
Drark walked towards the corner of the hall, and Link hurried to follow. Eventually, the two stopped in front of a small, narrow door below the spiral staircase in the lobby.
"This is your room."
This was originally a storage room under the stairs. It was very small. It was originally uninhabitable, but the instructor temporarily arranged for a person to come in, and the other rooms were full. The instructor's tone was somewhat casual.
Drake felt the mentor's attitude. He didn't care much about the apprentice, but had to make arrangements because of the identity of the other party, so he decided to arrange Link here.
Speaking, he opened the door. Inside the door was a small room less than five square meters, with a small bed, no table, only a bedside table, but a small window, and it was cleaned cleanly.
Linke only has magic in his heart, and does n’t care much about his external living conditions. Otherwise, he wo n’t live in the loft of the hotel in Hegu Town. He nodded, thanked him, and took it with him. His luggage went into the room.
He doesn't have much luggage on his surface. There are only a few changes of clothes and a few magic books, which can be tucked into the nightstand.
Drak is still standing at the door, seeing that Link is ready, and continues: "One last thing, as a magic apprentice, you need to complete some daily tasks. What magic do you have now?"
"I know stone-thorn." Link said, this is what Verola had greeted him in advance, and he is now a very basic magic apprentice.
"Stonebrush? Good." Druck turned and shouted to an apprentice in the hall: "Warrick, bring a stack of blank scrolls!"
The magical apprentice called Warwick soon ran over with a stack of blank scrolls. When he handed the scrolls to Drak, he glanced sympathetically at Link in the room: 'This guy But it's really bad luck, not to mention living in the worst room of the entire magic tower, but also to do the most tiring work of drawing magic scrolls. "
Drark sent Warwick away, and with a look of indifference, the master put the stack of scrolls on Link's bedside table: "I heard that you have studied at other schools of magic for some time, and draw scrolls. You can do all the basic skills? "
Linke nodded: "I will."
Drawing a magic scroll is a branch with magic. Link ’s current level of magic. In this magic tower, if he is not a 6th-level magician Bell, he can definitely be ranked first. Moving forward to Syndicate's Lair, he prepared himself more than 20 scrolls.
Of course, this ability can't be shown in Bell Magic Tower. Even Link has put away his match stick. Now, he only uses an ordinary whiteboard wand made by hand.
"That's fine. Take these. You must complete at least three stone spine scrolls per day. A finished scroll can only allow two additional blank scrolls to be scrapped. If you exceed them, you will be compensated. One blank scroll , Compensation for 3 silver coins. But if you complete the scroll, you will get 1 silver coin. The corresponding silver ink and rune pen, you can get it from Warwick just now. Do you understand? "
Linke listened and couldn't help secretly speaking: 'It's really dark, a zero-level magic scroll can sell at least 6 silver coins, and the cost definitely does not exceed 2 silver coins. The price of this ordinary blank scroll is even more Only 50 copper coins are needed, and only one silver coin is given to complete one, and an extra piece of damage will even accompany three silver coins. No wonder every famous magician in the game is rich and oily. It turned out to be money made by exploiting his apprentices. ’
However, although it is not fair to magical apprentices, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
Lin Ke felt keenly that this should be one of the important economic sources of a magic tower. In the future, he will surely have his own magic tower and his own magic apprentice. In the spirit of learning, he respects him. Nodded and said, "I see."
"Fine, so be it." Druck turned away and the door of the room was closed by him.
The room is quiet, and Link sits on the bed and breathes a long breath.
A message flashed in the horizon.
Task: Enrollment is complete.
Player Free Points +5.
This task was taken by him when he first came to Gwinter Forest, and it was only then completed.
Task: Promotion.
Quest content: Really master level 1 magic and become a formal magician.
Quest reward: Free points +15.
Linke has long mastered level 1 magic, and even developed super magic skills and created a whistle, so this task was completed directly as soon as it appeared.
So, Link added 20 points for his free points, and a 30-point mission reward for his escape from Syndicate's Lair. At this time, the free points reached 50 points.
‘I have one and a half months of magical weakness left, and it ’s almost over. At this time, I ’m going to save these things, and when I ’m fully recovered, I ’ll buy another advanced magic! ‘Linke is planning this.
At this time, there was another message flashing in the horizon, and Link looked at it.
Task: Promotion
Quest content: Really master a level 2 magic and become a level 2 magician.
Quest reward: 25 free points.
Then this task was also completed directly, because Link had mastered 2 defensive magics: Guardian Realm.
So, Link's free point is 75 points.
Information flashes again in the horizon. Opening it up is another promotion task.
Task: Promotion
Quest content: Really master a level 3 magic and become a level 3 magician.
Quest reward: 40 free points.
Okay, it seems that this task can continue forever, it's really good.
Then he has three tasks now, one is a series of promotion tasks, one is the investigation magician Bell, and the other is looking for the cliff of Howling Wind.
‘It ’s a busy task. ’Linke sighed, took out a blank scroll, and began to draw a flat magic structure of stoneback on the scroll.
