Under the leadership of Meredith, Lester and Tali walked towards the central spire. Along the way, they could see many students reading the manuscripts. When they saw the three of them passing by, many mage students seemed a little indifferent. It's in line with Leicester's expectations.
To some extent, a vigilant black mage should be a little withdrawn.
"It is forbidden to cast spells at will inside the academy. If you want to practice spells, you can go to the [Magic Training Ground] and [Magic Study Room]. The difference is that the latter with magic auxiliary equipment requires additional payment, credits or Shurima coins. All is OK.”
After walking for about half an hour, the distant spire was getting closer and closer, and a dark Gothic castle tower appeared in front of Leicester. He estimated that it covers an area of several hundred square kilometers.
The entire castle is made of smooth black rock, and the ground is paved with long pyroxene bricks. Magic torches that emit orange fire and white pyroxene that glow like street lamps dispel the darkness and illuminate the way forward.
After walking in through the open door of the castle, Meredith walked to the empty [Magic Light Board] and spoke to Lester and Tali.
"The magic light board records the public classes that will be taught in the near future. When you complete the selection of instructors, you can listen to more public classes. It will not hurt you."
Looking at the luminous magic light panel that was the same as the [monitor], Lester was full of curiosity.
[November 12th, Hall 12, Instructor Hada, "On the Intimate Relationship between Natural Spell Symbols and Magic Circle Resonance"]
[November 15th, Third Hall, Instructor Morris, "The production principle of low-level soul extraction spells and incomplete soul pyroxene"]
[November 23rd, First Hall, Grand Instructor Rose, "The World's Rune Exploration Journey Starting from Hylian Civilization"]
…
After deliberately paying attention to several open classes that interested him, Lester withdrew his gaze.
There are still more than two weeks until Rose's open class, so I should have enough time.
Knowing that the man had already made a plan in his mind, Meredith said nothing more and continued walking deeper along the somewhat deserted corridor.
"The architectural layout of the college is roughly divided into accommodation areas, open class halls, private teaching rooms, performance class review offices, libraries and training grounds. In addition, there are some mage towers built by some distinguished magisters themselves. Overall Generally speaking, the learning resources within the academy are very abundant, and some mages will live here for decades just to borrow the resources of the academy to complete their magic studies."
The three of them stumbled to the northwest area of the second floor. Meredith pushed open the wooden door of the private teaching room, surprising the middle-aged female mage sitting on the wooden chair with her chin tilted, and then stood up.
"Wizard Meredith, you are back."
"Master Nalis, how are you doing lately?"
With a wry smile, the mage named Nalis shook her head and looked at Lester, who was wearing a mask, and Tali, who was elegant and quiet.
"It's not that good...don't talk about me, these two should be the new students arranged by Ms. Rose, Master Lester and Master Tali, right?"
Meredith said softly, nodding.
"Okay, please make arrangements for them as soon as possible...
Master Leicester, this is where I live. If you have any questions, you can go to me. However, everyone has their own path in choosing a mentor. Your mentor will guide you to complete the basic matters. I will not Too mixed. "
After watching Meredith leave, Nalyse smiled at the two of them.
"Introduce yourself, I will sort out the tutor's information for you according to the direction you want to study. After determining the general direction, you can visit the corresponding tutor yourself to see if you are satisfied or not. This process is a two-way choice until Until both parties are satisfied, it will be finalized.”
After a brief discussion, Tali chose curse magic, which she had always been interested in. From the list given by Nalis, she decided to visit Estante, an old female mage who is proficient in curse magic.
Lester himself has a strong interest in most magics, but considering his talent, the man decided to give priority to learning natural ice magic.
"Well, let me see."
After flipping through the list of mentors, Naris spoke.
"In the academy, there are eight instructors who have expressed their willingness to teach natural arcane magic. Among them, there are two instructors with outstanding talents in the field of ice magic. One of them is Mage Nagarus and the other is Mage Terenna. This is their information, you can confirm which one you like more. I personally recommend Mage Nagarus, at least compared to another mage, he is relatively easy to talk to."
After taking a few minutes to quickly read the two documents, Lester was a little confused.
"Did Master Terenna never recruit other students?"
Nodding, Naris sighed.
"This is the biggest problem. Master Terenna is obsessed with magic research and was not willing to become a mentor. She just wanted to stay in the academy and became a mentor out of necessity. This also led to her standards for accepting apprentices being too strict. , there were many apprentices who wanted to become Master Terena's students before, but they were all rejected by Terena on the grounds that they were 'stupid and stubborn'.
Originally, this situation was not allowed. It was only because of Mage Terenna's outstanding performance in the field of natural energy-shaping rune magic and that she provided the academy with many new theoretical foundations for rune research that Mage Terenna was allowed to do so. Continue to carry out private research under the title of mentor.
To be honest, I am not optimistic that you will be recognized by Mage Terenna, because in my opinion, she simply does not want to lead an apprentice. No matter how talented you are, you may be just a trouble in her eyes. "
"It's her."
"That's good. Mage Nagarus is still good at teaching...wait, you chose Mage Terenna? Didn't you hear what I just told you?"
Nodding in confirmation, Lester smiled.
"I heard that, so where is she now?"
…
A muffled sound came from a private mage tower more than ten meters high in the residential area of the castle.
A black-eyed female mage with tattered cloth hanging on her body climbed up from the debris of the exploding magic extractor. She spat out a mouthful of blood with an expressionless face, not caring that her fair body was exposed to the air. After a few tattered cloth strips that were in the way, I walked straight to the research table under the headlights, picked up a quill, and started writing furiously.
"... Arcane energy with a purity of more than 95% can be charged quickly and magic can be cast instantly within three seconds. You can try to increase the purity of arcane energy again... Stabilizing magic symbols requires further improvement. It has been determined that the miscellaneous attributes will have the opposite effect and cannot achieve the expected balance, but properly constructing the miscellaneous energy injection array can increase the power of explosion magic..."
Rolling her dead eyes and shaking the quill holder, the black-eyed female mage lowered her head again.
"If three energy storage symbols are added to the shaping array, it will completely collapse. However, two energy storage symbols plus miscellaneous attributes can achieve a balance and achieve dual uses..."
"Dong dong dong~ I am the Thorn Supervisor. May I ask what happened here just now?"
She originally wanted to ignore the knock on the door, but the speaker's content forced the female mage to take her attention away from the experimental code.
At least for now, she couldn't afford to offend the Thorn Monitor.
