Frozen Water Harbor City Lord's Mansion.
"...whose letter?"
Salvatore looked curiously at the letter that had just been delivered on the table.
This is a simple public ceremony - three purple pine trees and one amethyst can build a simple directional teleportation array. Although not everything can be sent, other people who have mastered this ritual can use a special aluminum foil to send messages to each other.
Almost every wizard tower has a similar inheritance, which is mainly used to notify the instructor to come back to class. The cost of the ceremony itself is very low, but because it needs to occupy a number similar to a "telephone number"-this number has only two digits, and each wizard tower is independent. Therefore, it is generally not until the silver rank that one is assigned one's own number.
Because of his special status, Salvatore also got a copy in advance.
Because the mentors of the wizard's tower, as superhumans with guaranteed silver rank, it is impossible to stay in the wizard's tower all year round. They also have their own affairs to deal with, their own family members, relatives and friends to communicate with, and some precious materials, spell objects and influences that they want to find.
Although there are a large number of materials in the Wizard Tower that can be used by mentors, influence is difficult to obtain. Not to mention nightmares. There won't even be corpses in the wizard's tower, let alone nightmares.
Take Zedi Heita as an example. Although they recruit children around the age of fourteen, their teaching methods are different from those of other schools.
— because they don't have textbooks.
On the one hand, the great wizards are too lazy to make it up, and on the other hand, hardworking wizards may not necessarily be recognized by other wizards.
Every year, Zedi Black Tower recruits new wizard apprentices, generally sixty or seventy, and no more than one hundred at most.
After all, this is said to be a wizarding school, but in fact there is only one tower in total. Although this tower is very thick and large, it is used for study, research and accommodation after all, and it cannot recruit too many people.
Ordinary wizard apprentices, in the first two years, they have to learn common sense of general spells, general knowledge of the extraordinary world, mathematics, elf language, basic runes, painting and sculpture, unarmed combat, and military weapon teaching. These subjects are self-selected courses every three months. There are no textbooks and no holidays. If you don’t understand, you can go to the library to check it yourself, or ask a good tutor to ask...
After learning all these things and passing the exam, you will be allowed to choose your own specialization school and build a spell model. If the apprentice is smarter, this should be about the third year... If the apprentice is stupid, there are wizard apprentices who fail the exam in five or six years.
After choosing a specialization school, they basically entered the free-range mode-one to three major classes a month, with a week's notice in advance, and they were taught by wizard apprentices and wizards from the same school. What to talk about is up to the tutor himself... Of course, you don't have to come, as long as you can pass the exams of each school and graduate.
For example, to transform a wizard, you have to test your mouth.
Except for the big class, I basically check the information by myself. Beginning apprentices, apprentices who have chosen specialization, advanced wizards, wizards who are preparing to advance to great wizards... Different levels of wizards have different levels of open information. The only restriction is - if you leave the wizard tower without being an advanced wizard, then don't come back in the future.
Of course, for the kind of person who can't advance to the level of a wizard for many years, the general instructor will persuade them to quit... If you really don't want to quit, you don't have to, as long as it doesn't affect other people.
After all, wizard apprentices are not only talented children who are recommended by wizards outside...
There is also a special entry program called "Sponsor".
If you are willing to try, then try it, anyway, you can’t learn spells and you won’t starve to death.jpg
The wizard tower does not charge tuition fees, after all wizards are not short of money... but they are short of manpower.
As a price, if you advance to become a wizard or a great wizard in the wizard tower, you will have to serve the wizard tower for five to fifteen years as a reward.
Of course, if you can pass the tower master's exam, you can also become a mentor. That's how you get paid.
However, these salaries are meaningless to wizards of the silver rank. It's easy for them to make money, but they have nothing to spend... What can lure these silver-rank wizards is the library inside the wizard tower.
This is the core component of the Wizard Tower—every wizard who graduates from the Wizard Tower, the books they read will be checked by the Wizard Tower, recorded synchronously, and uploaded to the library. And after they die, the remaining spells on them will also be sent to the wizard tower... Some old and powerful wizards will even take the initiative to sacrifice themselves to the wizard tower, so that they can be in the state of soul, projection or The state of the constructs moves freely in the tower, and their curses are naturally completely eaten by the wizard tower... The premise is that the wizard tower can see them.
The wizard tower itself is a giant, living cursed object.
There are no spell scrolls in this world, and experimental products can basically be sold. For example, transformation wizards can make a lot of money by selling things, prophet wizards can also make a lot of money by telling fortunes, idol wizards are masters of curse killing and anti-curse killing, and all big shots should respect them...
And after advancing to the silver level, if you don't want to continue to advance... you can live like ordinary people.
Magic is just a professional skill... At least in the eyes of the vast majority of wizards, magic itself is not their goal in life.
Pursue powerful power, pursue power, pursue money, pursue social influence... This is the choice of more wizards.
Find materials to perform rituals, solidify heterogeneous abilities for yourself, or prolong your life, optimize your body...or do what you want, and come out to work to earn some money when you have no money. This is basically the life trajectory of the wizards who graduated from the Wizard Tower.
Although the path of transcendence is the path to the sky, not everyone has that desire.
In other words... not everyone can let go of the good life they have already held in their hands, take greater risks, and continue to climb upwards.
The path from silver to gold is called "staining".
The huge risk of breaking through the limits of ordinary people, the heterogeneous desire to alienate one's own personality, destroying and reshaping the old soul... There are many levels, and every failure may make you irreparable.
Salvatore, once only wanted to advance to silver.
Become a noble wizard, become a consultant in the family of an earl or marquis, or open a secret shop in a king's capital wherever you are, selling things you make yourself. Then earn money to buy a few manors, hire seven or eight servants, marry a young and beautiful girl, and have two or three children... This is his life plan, simple and simple.
But I don't know when to start...
Such a future has gradually become blurred in Salvatore's mind.
"Look at the letter," Shadow whispered in his ear, "I guess the tower master told you to go back. You've wasted too much time, Thrall."
"I guess so."
Salvatore said casually, and opened the envelope.
Looking at the above content, Salvatore was a little startled at first, and then his expression gradually became serious.
The letter was sent to him by the tower owner, and the content was very simple... that is, they had learned that Salvatore had successfully obtained the hammer. He urged him to go back quickly and prepare to advance to silver.
This is nothing, Salvatore had expected it.
But he noticed that the tower owner referred to Annan as "that little duke" in his letter. He didn't believe that the tower owner made a typo...
... They already know that this is Annan, not Don Juan
This shows that someone has already checked this fact with the spell of the Prophet School.
This Salvatore can guess.
After all, Annan did not have the ability to solidify the offset and reflect the prophet's spell on himself, nor did he bring a substitute. High-level prophetic spells will definitely be able to read this information.
But why did the tower owner say that it would be dangerous to follow Annan
"Annan is going to the capital in a few months..."
Salvatore was thinking with some worry.
If the tower owner has already learned Annan's true identity... Will someone in the capital also know
Are they planning to make trouble for Annan
What will Annan encounter when he goes to the capital this time
Will someone try to curse Annan
"No, I have to tell Annan before I go..."
Salvatore murmured, the crystal stone condensed on his fingertips, and then flames burned the letter.
Then he pulled out a piece of paper and began to write something quickly on it.
- You must complete the advanced ceremony quickly.
If all goes well, you should be able to progress within a month.
Zedi Black Tower... It's not too far from the capital.
"If something happens to you, I will come to help you, Annan..."
Salvatore muttered.
But Shadow, who always liked to argue, was silent about these words.
