In the past, if you wanted to learn magic or train young people in your family to learn magic, you had to rely on connections and send large sums of money to have the opportunity to become a magician.
Even so, there are still many restrictions after entering the door, and additional requirements may be added later. Sometimes it comes from teachers, sometimes it is what young people in their own families need.
It can be said that training a magician is like a bottomless pit. It's okay to have great talent, but what I'm most afraid of is that if you have extremely low talent, if you want to achieve success, you'll have to rely entirely on financial resources, which ends up being a bucket and a half of water.
But in the academy, the treatment you may receive is still not as good as those good seedlings who have been carefully cultivated by magicians, but how many people can have that kind of treatment? Most of the apprentices worked hard and worked under a magician, but in the end they were still mediocre until they died.
There are countless people who are active in various walks of life as magic apprentices, but nine out of ten regret taking the path of magic. Because what they are doing now can be done even without learning magic. To put it simply, it is believed that the original investment and income are not equivalent.
However, with the existence of the academy, the path to magic is no longer as obscure as it used to be. Even those who have experienced setbacks on this path will not forcefully resist talented people in their families trying to take that path.
The emergence of the academy system is a blessing to all those who are interested in magic. In the flourishing academic atmosphere of the Holy City, many colleges were established, and the college founded by the great magician Kabambai in his own name was one of them.
There are more than 200 children and young men and women receiving enlightenment education in Kabanbai College. There are thirty-seven official magicians responsible for education and twenty-two great magicians. In terms of scale alone, Kabamba College ranks among the best in the Holy City. But what is even more amazing is that there are 477 magicians who are further training in the academy.
These more than 400 magicians who are continuing their training do not live in the academy, and they only study for one or two days a week. But they are all learning more profound knowledge and magic theories from the great magicians in the academy. They even challenged unknown areas and used the power of the group to study unsolved mysteries in the world.
The fields involved are all-encompassing, including astronomy and geography. Regarding the summoning and use of natural life, fairy creatures, elemental life, etc. Elemental attacks are coordinated with the environment's amplification and restraint theories. Simplification and strengthening of magic circle, strengthening the effect of enchantment, production and specialization of golems. The development of more powerful potions and the search for alternative materials.
There are even those who just ask a question, and then focus on this problem, brainstorm possible solutions, and then find the best answer.
Hearing this, someone felt dumbfounded. I just set up a boarding school framework for elementary school level. They actually destroyed universities and research institutes in one fell swoop. What a big deal. If there was another essay hell, that would be complete.
According to Balta, when his teacher Kaban made the invitation, he actually hoped that he and another lich could enter his academy to teach.
Perhaps from Balta's words, it shows that his teacher just hopes that some precious knowledge can be spread more widely. But when someone listened to the introduction, they had a feeling that the academic community in the Holy City was in a state of competition. Whichever academy has more great magicians and offers tricky courses is qualified to stand out from the crowd and regard others as scum.
Barriers and confrontations between colleges are gradually forming. We don’t know yet whether this atmosphere will bring good things or bad things. But competition is one of the driving forces for progress, so it can be considered a good thing.
Secondly, those who come to ask for these profound knowledge are not those little devils who don't understand anything and have a runny nose. All of them are magicians who are not satisfied with the status quo and have no idea of breaking through the status quo, so they choose to enter the academy to seek advice from their seniors.
The common characteristic of these people is that they are rich!
Think about the various MBA credit classes on earth. They chat and chat for a semester, and there are not many classes a week. The tuition fees are so high that almost every MBA student accepted is almost as good as an ordinary college student to graduate. .
Of course, not all of the high fees paid by these people became the lecturers' remuneration. If experimental materials are needed in class, the college will do its best to select the most suitable materials, regardless of cost. The pragmatism of magicians is not superstitious that the most expensive is the best. That is a problem only aristocrats have.
In short, the higher education of Midi College cannot be regarded simply as a university or research institute on Earth. The people who come here, using the image of the earth as a metaphor, are all successful people in society, and they are all experts in the industry who have excellent skills and knowledge.
In Midland, if you don't have much ability and want to go to the podium, you may even be challenged by the students below when teaching these advanced knowledge, and then get sprayed all over your face. Here, the professor doesn't have the luxury of saying, "I'll fucking pawn you." If you are too arrogant, it is not news that you will be killed by students.
As for the academic disputes between different colleges, and even the door-to-door competition, although it is not common in today's Holy City, it is not uncommon.
If on Earth, two old professors were knocking each other with crutches, it would be better to find a reporter than to call the police uncle. As long as these cultural hooligans get their hands on cameras, the old professors will scatter like birds and beasts. If I take a few photos and make it into the news, even if it's not on the front page, I won't be able to be a good person in the future.
But in the Lost Land... it's really not too difficult to make an appointment to have a real PK in an open place, and fight in a dark and moving place. The intellectuals in Lost Land are terrible.
But from Balta's words, someone probably realized something. Even if he is not at the level of Tang Monk Meat, he is still a hot commodity, and there are probably many people who want to recruit him.
Things went as someone suspected. After this chat in the salon, people from all walks of life came into battle one after another. Some are sincere invitations, some are straight to the point and clearly mark the price, and some are threats and inducements.
Some people didn't talk about it, but some people talked about the knowledge they wanted to impart from the beginning. The most common one is, of course, the P language. After all, it is the foundation of forums and browsers. Although I really want to tell these people that the person who built the forum and the browser was the predecessor of the P language. That thing was sorted out together with the Lich after the update.
In addition to the P language, there are many invitees who are interested in the technology that transformed the Tower of the Great Sage in the past. Because all the transformation designs on that magic tower will be made public in the Magicians Association branch of Xijia District, but no one dares to say that they understand it yet.
It is said that the successor tower master has used the power of the association to form a research team and start to tackle the problem. We also specially recruited many talents who did not have any magical talent, but were smart enough to understand the P language.
There are also people who hope to study flash magic, and they call it 'magic that can make people disappear'. However, there are relatively few such people, probably because all the correct information about the flash technique has not yet been made public, and those who know it know the relevant situations from the descriptions of eyewitnesses. Because of this, there has been no formal evaluation, so there are still many people who do not believe in the power of Flash.
Of course, there are also many people who are interested in the hot, newly released technology of the Sid. There is even a great magician who plans to commission the construction of an airship, with someone designing and leading the construction.
However, there are also those who seem to just want to call themselves a mascot and do nothing. Someone was confused about this. When did you become someone who could sell your face?
There are also many people who actually prefer Fen who rarely talks to outsiders. But maybe it's because of the identity of the lich, or because the title of 'former devil king' is too heavy, so these people don't dare to be too blatant, but use roundabout ways, through various explicit hints from someone.
Among these people, the main thing everyone is probing is the 'mystery of eternal life'. All those who seek knowledge on the road will definitely want to challenge the subject. Even if it doesn't work, the next best thing is the Lich's transformation ritual which is also very interesting.
There is also a lot of magical inheritance about the undead in the Magician Association, but it is not disclosed unconditionally, but people who want to get this knowledge are carefully selected. Even for lich transformation rituals, there are many methods, but none of them are proven. This is because most people who become lichs will break away from the Magician Association, plunge into darkness, and become enemies of civilization.
This does not mean that after becoming a lich, you will definitely become a bad person. But now that you have started, if you want to continue on this path, you will inevitably do many inhumane things. If you want both humanity and research, you can only spend most of your long life selecting experimental subjects whose crimes are so heinous that no one will regret them if they die...
Maybe after becoming a lich, life is equal to unlimited, and there is a lot of time to waste. But what makes them unbearable is that they can only do nothing most of the time.
In addition, values will change due to the transformation of life, and it is difficult to evaluate everything in the world from a human perspective, so doing anti-humanity and anti-civilization things is natural in their eyes. In fact, this is the same for all extraordinary beings who transcend the mortal realm.
However, the Lich's undead appearance can easily arouse the disgust of outsiders, and even some extreme actions, which gives the Lich the rationality and legitimacy to do all kinds of evil things to him. Simply put, it will become a vicious cycle until one of the parties is destroyed, or both parties are destroyed.
Fen's situation is somewhat different. The most important thing is that she has passed the period of needing to find answers to her own problems from the constant consumption of life. The knowledge of the earth brought by someone freed her from confusion and advanced to the next level.
And his calm behavior over the years seemed to make others think that this was a lich who could communicate. Some people even have doubts about whether she, with her human appearance and such beauty, is a lich.
In short, people who find her can feel that there are still many uncertain temptations in the other party. That's why these people didn't say enough.
