Chapter 401 Start! [Please give me a monthly ticket! 】
Magic is vast and profound, and it is impractical to master it all.
Magic academies on the God's Continent generally subdivide magic. For example, the 'City in the Sky' in the Eastern Continent divides magic into force fields, elements, necromancy, summoning, alchemy, astrology, illusion, change, electromagnetism, heat, There are eleven systems of light and darkness.
The Western Continent’s ‘Brilliant Tower’ classifies magic into four categories: Law, Destruction, Life, and Elements.
The divisions of each college are not exactly the same, but they are roughly the same.
Chen Jichuan plans to start with the ‘summoning system’ to develop the mage tower to be built.
But the 'Summoning System' is only the core. This system masters the 'Summoning Technique' and 'Contract Technique', and at most one more 'Spiritual Link' is enough for walking. And if you want to become a powerful summoner, you'd better be proficient in various magics that increase gain and weaken debuff.
This is based on contracted creatures and takes the auxiliary route itself.
In addition, you can also learn offensive and defensive magic, and you can fight with contracted creatures.
As for these various types of magic, it is obviously not possible for Chen Jichuan to teach them alone. He himself has not mastered much magic yet.
So as the day to build the mage tower got closer and closer, and as he became more and more familiar with the Vagerion continent, Chen Jichuan also began to look for qualified mentors for his mage tower.
Chen Jichuan's strength is there, he can easily defeat a strong third-level magician. Even if the mage tower has not been built yet, it is not difficult to recruit some first-level magicians with solid foundations, but it takes a little more effort to recruit second-level magicians. At the second level, they can be called 'lords' in the pan-plane. They can all have a place of honor and worship in the empire, they can also serve as lecturers in major colleges, and they are indispensable in various mage towers on the mainland. The missing backbone.
Without big enough benefits or bright enough prospects, it would be difficult for even a third-level magician to recruit them.
Chen Jichuan was not big-hearted and recruited according to chance.
Time passes day by day.
He traveled all over the continent of Vaggerion, and the team behind him was gradually enriching——
Magic tutor.
Contract creature.
The team that builds and operates the mage tower is growing rapidly.
Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon fly like a shuttle.
In the blink of an eye.
Another ten years have passed.
……
Ten years later.
"Woooooo~"
"Woooooo~"
In the offshore waters on the east coast of the mainland, a steamship sailed through the wind and waves towards the 'Red Harbor' in the eastern part of the 'Principality of Hertz'.
Two male magicians in white robes were the first to step off the boat, followed by a group of young and ignorant boys and girls behind them.
"Finally here!"
"'Red Seaport'! This is already within the territory of the 'Heilz Principality'. I heard my father say that this principality is in the southeast of our 'Silver Moon Kingdom'. If you take the land route, you have to pass through two kingdoms and five principalities, one round trip It will take two or three years, and few merchants from within the kingdom will come.”
"The sea route is faster, it will arrive in two months."
"But the sea route is also dangerous. This journey scared me a lot. Those sea beasts were so ferocious that even the great knights couldn't resist them. Thanks to the two teachers, we were able to save our lives."
……
Two months of drifting on the sea had exhausted these young men. At this time, they set foot on land again, and it was a new environment. Some of them were confused and some were looking forward to novelty, so they all talked in small words to distract their attention and relieve their various emotions.
Morris and Grant, who were leading the way, held law enforcement sticks in their hands, their faces expressionless. They did not stop at the port, but called a four-wheeled carriage to drive the teenagers out of the 'Red Harbor' and headed southwest.
Two months by sea.
Ten days by land.
On this day, the twelve teenagers who had been working so hard finally saw the ‘summoning hut’ mentioned by the two teachers.
In the mountains, after turning a corner, the end of a mountain road is cut off by a dangerous cliff. In the middle of the cliff, a tall tower with unknown number of floors seemed to be rooted in the abyss. The tower's spire was as high as the clouds, and it gave these young people an extraordinary shock.
"Summon the cabin?"
"This is the college we want to enroll in?"
"So high!"
"This is still called a 'hut'. I'm afraid the star observation tower in our 'Silver Moon Kingdom' can only be called a thatched cottage!"
“Too tall and too impressive!”
……
The fatigue of the teenagers along the journey was all dispelled at this moment, and each of them was shocked and their expressions were dancing.
"Welcome to 'Benag's Calling Hut'."
While the teenagers were stunned, the clouds and mist surrounding the tower suddenly changed and spread out to form a broad avenue.
The clouds and mist are shrouded, like a fairyland.
The voice just now came from this avenue of clouds and mist, melodious and joyful.
"The Lord of the Air Element?"
Morris and Grant looked at each other.
They have great eyesight, and they are not like teenagers who only know how to say 'Wow wow wow'. They recognized that the mist-like existence in front of them was the 'Air Element Monarch' who was comparable to a third-level magician. Even if the two of them joined forces, they would never be a match.
Even though they had seen a lot of the dean's tricks, they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw another monarch-level contracted creature when they went out and came back.
"Follow me!"
The two looked at each other, Morris called out to the teenagers behind him, and then strode towards the tower with Grant.
……
‘Summoning Hut’.
After Morris and Grant took the teenagers through the admission procedures, they went to the 'Dean's Office' on the tenth floor of the tower.
"Dean."
"Dean."
Chen Jichuan held a magic book and looked at the two people returning from their run. He stood up and said with a smile: "You two have worked hard all the way."
"Sit."
He asked the two of them to sit down and motioned to the secretary beside him to make two cups of coffee for them.
"Thank you, Dean."
The two of them were a little nervous and thanked them quickly.
ten years ago.
After Chen Jichuan had initially taken care of his injuries, he began to wander around the 'Vaglion Continent' in search of a location to build the 'Mage Tower'.
During this period, considering the future recruitment, teaching and other matters of the Mage Tower, he also recruited many casual magicians to serve as instructors of the Mage Tower which he named the 'Summoning Hut'.
Morris and Grant were the first two second-level magicians to follow Chen Jichuan. They each mastered two or three second-level magics, which were not weak at the lord level.
But in front of Chen Jichuan, the two of them still remained respectful.
"Tell me about the enrollment situation."
Chen Jichuan waited for the two of them to finish their coffee before speaking out.
"Yes."
Morris Xianhui reported: "Following the dean's instructions, we headed north along the east coast, starting from the 'Principality of Herz' and finally arriving at the 'Silver Moon Kingdom', passing through a total of forty-two cities on the way."< br>
At this point, Morris's face looked a little ugly, and Grant also had a sullen face: "The enrollment situation this time is not ideal. Once we arrived in a hurry, many civilians had no time to catch up with the test. Secondly, these kingdoms and principalities have students all year round. The magician is stationed, and there are magicians qualified in the country They are first selected by the great mages in the territory, and then screened by the domestic nobles, royal families, large and small chambers of commerce, and followed by various low-level magicians. In the end, only a handful of them are left with magician qualifications, and their magic affinity is low. It’s the lowest level.”
In fact, Grant didn't say anything yet.
After all, the ‘Summoning Lodge’ has just been established and has no reputation among the countries. Even those who are tested for magic aptitude will still be hesitant. Some of them want to choose a more famous mage tower, and some want to be close to home.
For example, when they arrived at the terminal, Silver Moon Kingdom, they also detected two civilians with moderate qualifications, but they were soon intercepted by the Royal Academy of Magic who learned the news.
Because of these disadvantages, Morris and Grant, who had been away for more than half a year, only brought back twelve teenagers.
"Twelve."
Chen Jichuan nodded mentally.
He had already expected this situation. Several other recruiting teams had come back one after another in the past few days, and the situation was not ideal. Eight second-level magicians were scattered across half of the eastern countries. In the end, only thirty-seven were enrolled in the first batch, which was too few.
However, "the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley". Chen Jichuan is confident that he will train this batch of students well. When the first batch of students become talents, there is no need to worry too much about the source of students in the future.
……
With the return of Morris and Grant, the 'Summoning Cabin' took root in the God's Continent and began to grow wildly in dormancy.
The major mage towers and major magic academies on the mainland train students on a four-year cycle. In four years, students' potential will be judged based on their performance and magic progress. A small number of high-quality ones will be absorbed, while the majority of mediocre ones will be issued with completion certificates and introduced to various organizations in various countries that have cooperative relationships with the mage tower and magic academy.
In the end, there are more and more powerful people in the Mage Tower and Magic Academy, students are spread all over the world, and the network of relationships becomes stronger and stronger.
Therefore, the foundation of every top magic academy is extremely deep, and even legendary magicians and even immortals dare not easily provoke it, let alone shake it.
‘Summoning Hut’ is still in its infancy in this regard.
Everything was uneventful.
……
Time flies, four years have passed.
This day.
On the ninth floor of the 'Summoning Lodge', the first group of fourth graders gathered in the 'Advanced Meditation Room'. Four years ago, thirty-seven teenagers became the first batch of students in the ‘Summoning Lodge’. Four years later, this group of students has reached the graduation stage.
They spent four years studying in the 'Summoning Cottage'. Even the dullest ones learned a few basic magics and became professionals who could find a very respectable job in their respective countries. The best among them, with their hard work and wisdom, have become high-level professionals, only one step away from first-level magicians.
"What a rich magic power!"
"I haven't even entered the meditation stage yet, and I can already feel the energetic magic!"
"'Advanced Meditation Room'! This is the 'Advanced Meditation Room' where even Director Morris and the others can only enter and meditate once a year. I heard that it was here that Teacher Lilian broke through and became a second-level magician."
"Why did the instructor ask us to come here?"
……
The thirty-seven students looked around with a little excitement, and there was some speculation and expectation in their hearts.
In front of the crowd.
Morris, the fourth-grade dean, coughed twice, signaled the students to be quiet, and then said: "You are right, as early as when you entered the 'Summoning House', the dean said that everyone in the 'Summoning House' 'Graduating students can enter this 'advanced meditation room' to meditate for one night before graduation, which is a graduation benefit for everyone."
"Really?"
"Great! If I can meditate in the 'Advanced Meditation Room' for one night, I might be able to break through to a first-level magician before graduation. In this way, I can apply to stay in the 'Summoning Lodge' and become an assistant instructor."< br>
"Long live the Dean!"
"Long live the Dean!"
……
Hearing Morris' words confirmed their suspicions, the students couldn't help but cheer. Among them, the few who had reached the advanced level of professionals were overjoyed and looked forward to breaking through in one fell swoop.
Morris could understand the excitement of these students. In the four years since the 'Advanced Meditation Room' was built, too many miracles have happened here. We don’t know the outside of the ‘Summoning Cabin’ yet, but in the ‘Summoning Cabin’, whether it’s a tutor or a student, the reputation of the ‘Advanced Meditation Room’ is so well known that everyone flocks to it.
"Okay."
"Everyone chooses a meditation room. It is now five o'clock in the afternoon and the meditation room will officially open at ten o'clock in the evening. You must adjust yourself during these five hours and strive to achieve the best state. Don't waste such a good opportunity and live up to it. The dean’s thoughts.”
Morris clapped his hands, turned and left.
After walking out, he could still hear cheers coming from the 'Advanced Meditation Room'.
"Are you happy?"
“If we let them know about other graduation benefits, I’m afraid it would be difficult to enter a meditative state even if they are so excited at night.”
Morris smiled and walked away.
……
The year 9588 of the thirteenth era of the God's Seat Continent, the year 4396 of the new calendar of the 'Vaglion' continent, August 28, the 32nd year of Peter VII of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
After more than two months, 'Green' finally returned to a familiar country and the familiar 'Oak Town'.
four years ago.
Green followed the merchants in the town to the "City of Saint-Lo" a hundred miles away to deliver goods, and happened to catch up with two mentors from the "Summoning Cabin" testing the magical talents of young people of appropriate age in the city. Greene hid it from the businessman and went for a test. Unexpectedly, he was found to have an affinity for magic. Although it is only a low-level affinity, there is a chance to become a magician.
Green was excited.
He often heard the legend of magicians in "Oak Town", and in his fantasy, he wanted to become a noble magician. But he was tested once in 'Oak Town' a few years ago and once in 'Saint-Lo City', but he was told that he had no talent and was not favored by the magician.
This time, I tried again with the last hope, but unexpectedly, I won. You can imagine Green's mood.
Afterwards, when he arrived at the 'Summoning Hut', Green found out that it was not that he had no affinity talent, but that his talent was so poor that even independent magicians in the kingdom could not appreciate it, so he was rejected in both tests.
Only the hungry Summoning Hut, as well as Morris and Grant, who were hit at that time, would barely let him pass.
And this was the turning point in Green's fate.
Fast forward four years.
Because of the long distance, he could only communicate with his family but could not go home. Now that I have graduated, this is the first time I have come back after four years.
Looking at the 'Oak Town' in the distance, Green felt a little homesick. He touched the milky-white ring on his finger. This ring was called the 'Holy Light Ring'. It had a stable two-foot-square space inside and could be used to carry gold coins, magic materials and other valuables with him. Moreover, there is always a basic magic 'Light of Purification' on the ring, which can dispel the negative state of the target to a certain extent and can treat minor injuries.
The 'Purifying Light' in the 'Holy Light Ring' can be used three times a day. Of course, the most important thing is its storage function. This kind of ring is the first choice of every graduate of the 'Summoning Lodge' and is considered a very good magic item. Green spent thirty-three contribution points in exchange for this, wiping out all the contribution points he had accumulated over the past four years.
But it's all worth it.
He took out a white magic robe from the 'Holy Light Ring' and put it on, and then took out a magic wand and held it in his hand.
The magic robe and magic wand are his graduation rewards for completing 800 credits in the 'Summoning House' for four years. Magic items of the same level are priced at 20 contribution points in the 'Summoning House' exchange list, which is equivalent to 20 points. A gold coin, this is already the entire wealth of an ordinary middle-class family in Oak Town.
After being tidied up, it suddenly looked brand new. Green thought for a while, and then released a 'purifying light' on himself, looking even more energetic. Then he took out a bottle of demon wolf blood from the 'Holy Light Ring', holding the staff and silently reciting the spell.
After a while, a bat monster appeared in front of him.
This bat monster was only the size of an adult's head when it first appeared. Following Green's instructions, it changed on the spot and turned into a large bat with a wingspan of more than three meters.
【Abyss Creature: Bat Monster】
[Rank: Professional Level]
[Ability: grow bigger, smaller, scream viciously]
This is a high-level professional-level 'bat monster', an abyss creature, and Green's first contract partner. This is another graduation benefit of the ‘Summoning Lodge’.
Green was only a mid-level professional before graduation, and all he could summon were cannon fodder like "Jungle Goblins". But after receiving several graduation benefits from the 'Summoning Hut', he is now a well-equipped high-level professional with a high-level contract creature.
Green stepped on the back of the bat monster, and the bat monster flapped its wings and flew up, carrying Green home in glory!
