Chapter 4: Apprenticeship
Several carriages ran smoothly across the street and slowly stopped under the huge magical minaret in the center of Sky City.
Looking at it from a distance, I didn't feel it, but when he came to the front, apprentices such as Heidi and Leiya were full of amazement, because the neck needed to look up very tired to see the spire of this magic tower. And unlike the ancient gloomy and mysterious magic tower, its outer layer is made entirely of silver-gray materials with metallic flashes, which has a thrilling beauty that apprentices cannot describe.
"Uh, modern metal texture buildings." This type of building is one of Lucian's favorite styles, and immediately improves the favor of the Magic Council.
Lazar, as the "master", was very satisfied with Lucien's love for this magic tower. Seeing Felipe and others disappearing at the gate, he gave a high-five and laughed: "This is the magic tower where the parliament headquarters is located. , Also called Allinge, is a paradise that many magicians aspire to. Well, let ’s go in, it ’s already 4:15 pm, and the parliament headquarters staff will rest at 6 pm, only a few are in charge of the whole seat City security and surveillance left behind. "
"Mr. Lazar, can you come again tomorrow? We are too exhausted and need to rest." Many magic apprentices asked with apprehension apprehensively about the level of arcane skill. Even Ennick was a little hesitant and never experienced success again and again. Accumulated, his confidence has not been fully established.
Lazar led Lucian and the magic apprentices to the gray stone steps in front of the magic tower: "You have just arrived today. Exhaustion is indeed a problem, but you need to ask yourself to the gentleman or lady responsible for the assessment. They will Reschedule your assessment time. However, you ca n’t get the two badges of magic and arcane without going through the assessment. Many things will be more troublesome. And if you start learning arcane and magic one day earlier, you can become a true magician one day earlier. . "
He is not asking apprentices to test under exhaustion, but reminding them not to shirk after a day of rest.
quickly. The group walked to the silver-gray door of the magic tower, which painted countless mysterious lines.
When Lucien and others were about to go straight through the half-open door, two **** eyes suddenly appeared on it, and they blinked and looked at the opposite side:
"Welcome to Allinge, and I welcome everyone on behalf of all Arcanists and Wizards."
A brisk sound came from the door, and the two metal doors swayed back and forth, as if waving hands.
Lazar chuckled: "Prospell, you have never welcomed me like this."
"Because I smell the breath of life." Prospell didn't care about Lazar's joke.
Lazar turned to the stunned apprentices and introduced: "Prospell, the powerful alchemy life fused with the magic tower, was made by Douglas and several lords of the Arcane who spent a long time collecting special broken souls to make Come out. Hehe. Alchemy life at the council headquarters is a lot, there is no place more luxurious in this respect than here. "
Lucien was curious and interested in alchemy life from the old castle of Kareldia. At this moment, he couldn't help asking: "Lazar, how do you learn the knowledge of alchemy life?"
"First you need the Arcane knowledge tree of the soul from the soul department. Then you need to learn the basics of life reconciliation in the alchemy department. After these studies are completed, you can make alchemy life after you become a high-level magician. Oh, so in In the ancient magic empire, only advanced magicians could have their own magic towers. "Lazar introduced casually.
Prospell's voice suddenly lowered: "Sir, if you are interested in alchemy life, please make a lady in the future. The magic towers around me are all nasty males!"
The image of the alchemy life immediately became equal to the insignificant in the eyes of Lucian and others.
Seeing that Lucian didn't answer, Prospell laughed: "Haha, I'm kidding. Alas, the 'Apprentice Assessment Department' is a three-story area. The 'Magic Management Department' is a four-story area. The first and fifth area are It is a 'mission area' that can accept tasks and release tasks. The first and sixth areas are the 'exchange department', which helps you to exchange your money, materials, items, information, etc. into arcane points. Or vice versa. 'Ordinary arcane The 'Library' is on the first floor, and the 'Magic Exchange Room' is on the second floor. "
"If you want to meditate and experiment. You can go to the second to ninth floors, where there are meditation rooms, magic labs, **** rooms, energy rooms, magic gardens, etc. Of course, you need to pay money or arcane points to use. The tenth floor is" Headquarters of the two Arcane and Magic journals, the rest of the journals are either in other parts of Arlinge or in different cities in several kingdoms and are hosted by different organizations or magic parliament branches in different countries. "
"The eleventh to fifteenth floors are the offices of several committees and the exclusive lounges for members. The sixteenth to twentieth floors are free places for qualified" Arcane and Magic Research Groups "to apply for. The first to twenty-fifth floors are the best magic laboratories in different research fields, and the twenty-sixth to thirty floors have the 'Higher Arcane and Magic Library', the material warehouse, the high-level summoned **** room, etc. The first to thirty-fifth belong to the highest jury, but I heard that the highest jury recently wanted to draw out the thirty-first and thirty-two levels as a college that attempts to focus on teaching lower-level magicians ... "
A series of cracking words from Prospell kept coming out, and the apprentices snorted.
"Okay, you guys go in quickly." Prospell sang an untoned song:
"Don't mess around, that's my muscle."
"Don't touch the wall, I'll be itchy."
"Don't destroy public property, the internal organs are always fragile."
...
In this quirky alchemy life, "Farewell", Lucian and others finally entered the headquarters of the parliament. The first thing that appeared in front of them was a circular silver hall. In the center of the hall was a one-meter-diameter disk. A complex magic circle is portrayed, and a yellow-green mask surrounds the disc, extending to the second floor.
Six areas and stairwells are marked around the hall.
"That's the elevator." Lazar introduced it, and sought advice from Lucien. "We'll go to the Apprentice Assessment Department in the 3rd district. After the apprentices have been arranged, I will take Evans to the 4th district. 'Magic management department', is it okay? "
"No problem. After all, I coached them for a while." Lucian didn't mind, looking at the magicians and apprentices dressed close to Holm, while following Lazar towards the third district.
…………
There are rows of rooms in the third district with different colors. An old gentleman with long cheeks and old-fashioned clothes received Lazar and Lucien.
The old gentleman named Simeon said seriously to the apprentices: "You first register, and then I will provide you with a basic assessment of arcane skills, and once you understand your level and tendency of arcane skills, arrange for you to enter different Magic school. "
"Mr. Simeon, we just arrived at noon today, and then took the magic steam train for three hours. We are very tired. Can we delay the arcane assessment until tomorrow?" Katrina herself Not afraid, but she, who considered herself one of the top apprentices, did not hesitate to come forward and ask for everyone.
The requirements are reasonable, but Simeon is old-fashioned. But it ’s not hard-hearted, so he nodded: “Then you check in first, and come here for assessment at nine tomorrow morning. Tonight I will arrange a rest in your guest room in the third district. Remember, you do n’t have two badges of arcane and magic. Don't walk out of the three zones. "
"Thank you, Mr. Simeon, we must remember." The apprentices were overjoyed.
Watch them register in order. While Lucien stood still, his clothes were obviously continental style, and Simeon was a little puzzled and said, "Aren't you registering?"
"Mr. Simeon, I'm a formal magician." Lucian signaled with a smile.
Simeon's old-fashioned face showed a little surprise. Then she looked at Lucien up and down again and again: "A magician less than twenty years old? His mental strength is very outstanding. If you want to learn astrology or light and dark magic, or concentrate on the study of mathematical knowledge, you can consider joining We are 'tall towers.'
Lazar looked grimly at Simeon: "Mr. Evans wanted to concentrate on the basics of arcane learning, and waited until he had a formal arcane level."
Simeon wears two badges. A silver star on a black background, like a deep starry sky. But there are only two stars, and one is a silver background with two black rings, cold and mysterious. According to Lazar's previous introduction on the train, the former is the badge of the second-level arcanist, and the latter is the badge of the second-circle magician.
After hearing Lazar's words, he smiled rarely: "Now it is rare for such a sober young man to know that he can study and research with peace of mind, rather than indulging in invitations from various organizations. Evans, our tower is The more neutral organizations are in the same pace as the parliament. There are many arcanists who like research and exploration but don't like battle. Oh, well, I will say that Lazar will cry. "
Chatting here, there Heidi, Leiya, and others kept reading and reciting the theorems and laws, and saw Sprint frown slightly: "The study of arcane art is in peacetime. The test will be conducted tomorrow. You will not have any effect like this. "
Awoken by his words, Heidi rushed to Lucien: "Mr. Evans, is there a good way to review?"
"I agree with Sprint in this regard You usually practice enough. What you need tonight is to take a good rest and simply browse."
Annick and Leiliya nodded, looking at Lucian a bit reluctantly, and said, "Mr. Evans, will you come to see us tomorrow?"
"If there is nothing else, I will come." Lucian smiled at the head of the jaw, how can I know how well my guidance task has been completed?
But after seeing him agree, Annick and they whispered cheering, Lucian's heart softened a little and turned to Lazar, "Let's go to the magician management department. Right, Lazar, go ' "Ordinary Arcane Library" and the "Magic Exchange Room" can I borrow books or exchange magic only with arcane points or with Quintal? "
"It's okay." Lazar looked at Lucian with amusement. "But, Evans, the first condition to enter these two places is that you have an activated arcane badge, otherwise you obediently hold the council for free Learn about arcane and magic basic books. When you have reached a certain level, you can apply for an arcane assessment at the "Magic Manager", and if you pass, you will get a basic arcane score and activate the arcane badge. "
Lucian frowned: "The easiest way to activate the Arcane Badge is to submit a new magic?"
