"What is this?" Luo Binhan asked again.
"The White Tower's standard apprenticeship agreement, Mr. Luo."
"I know this." Luo Binhan said, "But what the hell is in the jar?"
"It's the brain tissue of White Tower apprentices." Momolo said in a serious and innocent tone. His attitude couldn't help but make Luo Binhan feel heartbroken. He immediately shook his shoulders and said, "What's the matter with you thick eyebrows? Are you betraying the revolution? Why don't you make a fuss when you see people trading human organs?"
"This is the White Tower mage learning system that is completely in compliance with the laws of the Alliance, Mr. Luo." Momolo said, "All apprentices will circulate among different types of mages through this form, and participate in research projects as efficiently as possible to learn. To obtain sufficient magic theory and skills. When they think that their ability is enough to become a magician, they will ask to participate in the qualification assessment test and officially obtain the identity of a White Tower mage. If they get special favor from a certain mage during the circulation process, they will also You can apply for the other party to become your regular mentor after both parties agree."
He solemnly clasped his hands in front of his chest: "This is a completely modern employment system! It is completely different from the family-based apprenticeships that were popular in the Tuoril Sky Wall System before! Every apprentice will first undergo a basic test before entering circulation. In order to determine whether their intelligence level is qualified to adopt this type of circulation, sign a voluntary agreement, and obtain a unified number and anti-mind control protection spell issued by the White Tower. The transactions of the apprentice agreement are usually limited to mages and qualified merchants If you are found to have violated the rules and abused your apprentices, you will face severe sanctions from the White Tower and the Alliance."
Luo Binhan thought about it and thought that this was roughly equivalent to a graduate student or a doctoral student.
"Then why do we need to rip out their brains? Can't we just engage in simple human trafficking?"
"In order to facilitate circulation, Mr. Luo. If it is a person, identity verification and body function maintenance will become very complicated. We also have to deal with a series of problems such as inevitable biological invasion when crossing the border. After arriving at the project, we will put on a special It will be more cost-effective for the body, and it will also make it easier for them to concentrate on their studies.”
Momolo said sympathetically: "The path of a mage is very difficult. They have to focus on memorizing the theory and structure of a very large spell system, and at the same time, they have to take care of external affairs, which is a big burden for them. .”
This Luo Binhan is not difficult to understand. He had seen Zhou Yu who worked very hard during normal times, but during the medical school exam season he still had to drink coffee all night long. In that mode, Zhou Yu, let alone entertainment and leisure, even looks like his girlfriend is in the shape of a mannequin.
Despite this, he still felt the psychological discomfort caused by this apprenticeship system. After several ideological struggles, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this thing really safe? What if I encounter a cannibal who wants to eat smart brain flowers?"
Momolo told him that the possibility of such an accident was extremely slim and statistically far lower than the fatal accident rate for spacecraft. The high price tag of the agreement itself is to ensure that it will not be put into some extremely inefficient one-time use-most cannibal species do not have the intelligence to earn such funds, and once they have enough intelligence, then You have to weigh the weight between your appetite and the revenge of the White Tower.
"Many mages will also randomly add protective spells to the apprentice agreements they admire." Momolo added, "That may make the agreement's brain toxic, corrosive, or simply very unpalatable. "
Luo Binhan couldn't help but applaud, and then thought of another thing: "Why did I hear about people abducting children in the underground exchange before? Isn't that voluntary?"
"Those are illegal agreements made by private individuals." Momolo said seriously, "Some are for sale to illegal projects, and some are simply circulated as counterfeit currency. Now the White Tower is cracking down on this illegal behavior. Mr. Luo before We have also reported the matter to Mr. Eden, and I believe he will handle the matter."
Since he said this, Luo Binhan had no choice but to believe in Eden's credibility as the master of the gate city. He bravely looked at the three transparent jars containing brain organs, and found that there were many words written on the bottoms of them. The first line was probably the names of the three apprentices, namely: Whirlpool Whale, Blue Magpie, and Indigo Shadow.
"Are these all real fucking names?" he asked solemnly.
"It should be the apprentice name they chose themselves, Mr. Luo. When they become White Tower Masters, they can choose a suffix based on their school or place of residence."
Momolo then read the remaining words and symbols at the bottom of the jar that Luo Binhan could not understand, and then told him that these were all about the apprentice's identity information. For example, Uzumaki Whale officially signed an apprenticeship agreement at Kiroshi's Tower in Zhisi City, and Blue Tortoise Kiroshi completed the process of getting rid of his mortal body and embarked on the path of seeking the Dharma. Currently, he has completed a total of 176 projects and received special recognition from twelve White Tower Masters. His major in spells includes biological summoning and plant research in the third category system, and he is proficient in the application of three subcategories of microscopic contract linguistics. The main development direction currently expected is the conversion of electrical energy in Category 6.
The three apprentices each have their own merits in internship resumes. Among them, Uzumaki has the most experience in projects, Lan Que has the highest recognition rate as a White Tower mage, and Indigo Shadow has filled in the most types of major spells.
Luo Binhan sincerely admires these spell apprentices who are practicing hard work, but as a descendant of a capitalist, he inevitably has a new question.
"There are quite a lot of differences between the different apprentices." He pondered and said, "Is it appropriate to put a price tag on them all? What if someone can't find a suitable apprentice for a project?"
"Baita has established a protocol circulation market to solve this problem." Momolo explained with admiration, "It is a very complex economic system. Participants can quote specific types of apprenticeship packages as the subject matter, and then conduct large-scale transactions Pre-buy and pre-sell, or estimate the appreciation of a specific batch of apprentice packages. Because apprentices who graduate and become mage will pay 15 times the price to the final buyer as an agreement termination fee, most buyers are very keen Help apprentices take qualification exams, and some speculators will even purchase apprenticeship agreements that are expected to increase in value... However, this is not conducive to the progress of apprentices, and will also lead to many research projects not being able to recruit the apprentices they need. It is a very unethical profit. Method. It would be better for Mr. Luo to try not to get involved in this kind of business in the future."
Luo Binhan raised his head and was stunned for a while, then patted Momoluo on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, our old Luo family has always been locked up when buying stocks. My old man has stopped touching it. But those magicians are playing around every day. In futures finance, aren't you afraid that your tower will be struck by lightning? Can you still look like a mage?"
"Mr. Luo's criticism is very similar to the Silent School."
"Huh? Do I look like a cultist?"
Momolo immediately explained to Luo Binhan the position of the Silent School: a pan-conventional organization that is mainly active in the Infinite Territory and remote areas of the alliance, advocating avoiding the public and focusing on mystery. Due to its numerous internal sources and lack of strong organization and norms, only a dozen of the most mainstream scholars are recognized as legitimate by the alliance, while the remaining schools are collectively referred to as "taboo scholars."
"They and the White Tower pursue completely different magic framework theories, and it is said that there are many disputes." Momoluo stretched out his hands and separated them far apart. "Jingmo thinks that the White Tower's ideas and style are completely on the rational side, and they are not fundamental at all. Can no longer be classified as a mage.”
"...How did the White Tower react?"
"After hearing the news, Baita immediately announced that the Silence School would be classified into the Ancient Law." Momolo said.
Luo Binhan looked at him without any reaction. So Momolo said seriously: "This is a very serious dispute. Several mages were killed because of their classification claims. Although the alliance currently classifies both sides as a Pan-Covenant organization, Mr. Luo still tries not to speak in front of them. It would be better to bring up the classification issue in person, as that may lead to death."
Although Luo Binhan didn't think he would encounter this kind of problem, he still remembered Momolo's advice and felt that he needed to get to know the "mage organization" of the White Tower again.
