The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 286: Letter from Zedi Black Tower
The main palace of Fengshui Port City.
"...Whose letter?"
Salvatore looked at the letter that had just been delivered on the table with some curiosity.
This is a simple public ceremony - three purple pine trees and one piece of amethyst can build a simple directional teleportation array. Although not everything can be transmitted, other people who master this ritual can use a special aluminum foil to pass messages to each other.
Almost every wizard tower has a similar inheritance, which is mainly used to notify the instructor to come back to class. The cost of the ceremony itself is very low, but because it requires a number similar to a "telephone number" - this number only has two digits, each wizard tower is independent. Therefore, you generally have to reach the Silver level to be assigned your own number.
Because of his special status, Salvatore also received a copy in advance.
Because the mentors of the Wizard Tower, as extraordinary beings with a guaranteed silver level, cannot stay in the Wizard Tower all year round. They also have their own things to deal with, their own families, relatives and friends to interact with, and some precious materials, spells and influences that they have to find.
Although there are a lot of materials in the wizard tower that the instructors can use, the influence is difficult to obtain. Let alone a nightmare. There wouldn't even be a corpse in the wizard's tower, let alone a nightmare.
Take Zedi Black Tower as an example. Although they recruit children around the age of fourteen, their teaching model is different from schools outside.
——Because they don’t have teaching materials.
On the one hand, the great wizards are too lazy to compile it; on the other hand, diligent wizards may not be recognized by other wizards.
The number of new wizard apprentices recruited by Zedi Black Tower every year is generally sixty or seventy, and the maximum number will not exceed one hundred.
After all, this is said to be a wizard school, but in fact there is only one tower in total - although this tower is very thick and large, it is for study, accommodation and three uses after all, so it cannot recruit too many people.
General wizard apprentices must learn general knowledge of magic, general knowledge of the supernatural world, mathematics, Elvish, basic runes, painting and sculpture, unarmed combat, and military weapons instruction in the first two years. These subjects are optional courses once every three months. There are no textbooks and no holidays. If you don’t understand, you can go to the library to check it yourself, or ask a good tutor...
Once you have completed learning these things and passed the exam, you will be allowed to choose your own specialized school and build a spell model. If the apprentice is smarter, this should be around the third year... If the apprentice is dumber, there are also wizard apprentices who fail the exam in five or six years.
After choosing a specialized school, you basically enter the free-range mode - one to three major classes every month, with one week's notice in advance, and are attended by wizard apprentices and wizards from the same school. The specific content is decided by the instructor... Of course, you don't have to come, as long as you can pass the examinations of each school and graduate.
For example, if you want to transform a wizard, you have to test your wits.
Except for major classes, I basically look up information on my own. Apprentices who have just started, apprentices who choose specialization, advanced wizards, wizards who are preparing to advance to great wizards... Wizards of different levels have different levels of open information. The only restriction is - if you leave the wizard tower without becoming a wizard, then don't come back again.
Of course, for people who cannot advance to wizard level in many years, their mentors will usually persuade them to quit... If you really don't want to quit, you don't have to quit, as long as it doesn't affect other people.
After all, in addition to talented children being recommended by wizards outside...
There is also a special admission program called "sponsor".
If you are willing to give it a try, then give it a try. Anyway, you will not die of hunger if you cannot learn spells.jpg
The wizard tower does not charge tuition fees. After all, wizards are not short of money... but they are short of manpower.
As a price, if you advance to become a wizard or a great wizard in the wizard tower, you will have to serve the wizard tower for five to fifteen years as a reward.
Of course, if you can pass the tower master's exam, you can also become a mentor. That's how you get paid.
However, these wages are of little significance to Silver level wizards. It's easy for them to make money, but they have nothing to spend it on... The main thing that can tempt these Silver-level wizards to stay is the library inside the Wizard Tower.
This is the core component of the Wizard Tower - for every wizard who graduates from the Wizard Tower, the books they see will be tested for value by the Wizard Tower, recorded and uploaded to the library simultaneously. And after they die, the remaining spells on their bodies will also be transmitted to the wizard tower... Some old and powerful wizards will even take the initiative to sacrifice themselves to the wizard tower, so that they can be in the soul state, projection state or They are in the state of constructs and can move freely in the tower, and their curses will naturally be completely eaten by the Wizard Tower... provided that the Wizard Tower can take notice of them.
The Wizard Tower itself is a giant, living curse.
There are no spell scrolls in this world, and experimental products can basically be sold. For example, transforming wizards can make a lot of money by selling things, prophet wizards can also make a lot of money by telling people's fortunes, and idol wizards are masters of curse killing and counter-curse killing. All big shots must respect them...
After advancing to the Silver level, if you don’t want to continue to advance... you can live like an ordinary person.
Spells are just a professional skill... At least in the eyes of most wizards, spells themselves are not their goal in life.
The pursuit of powerful strength, the pursuit of power, the pursuit of money, the pursuit of social influence... these are the choices of more wizards.
Look for materials to perform rituals to solidify heterogeneous abilities for yourself, or extend your life, optimize your body...or do what you want to do, and work to earn some money when you have no money. This is basically the life trajectory of the wizards who graduate from the Wizard Tower.
Although the path to transcendence is the path to heaven, not everyone has that desire.
In other words... not everyone can let go of the good life they already hold in their hands, take greater risks, and continue climbing upwards.
The road from silver to gold is called "dying".
The huge risk of breaking through the limits of mortals, the idiosyncratic desire to alienate one's own personality, the destruction and reshaping of the old soul... every time you fail, you may be doomed.
Salvatore once only wanted to advance to Silver.
Become a noble wizard, be invited by an earl or marquis to serve as a consultant, or open a secret shop in any royal capital to sell random things you make. Then earn money to buy several manors, hire seven or eight servants, marry a young and beautiful girl, and have two or three children... This was his life plan, simple and simple.
But I don’t know when it will start...
Such a future has gradually become blurry in Salvatore's mind.
"Read the letter," Shadow whispered in his ear, "I guess the tower master asked you to go back. You wasted too much time, Thrall."
"I guess so."
Salvatore said casually, opening the envelope.
Looking at the above content, Salvatore was a little shocked at first, and then his expression gradually became serious.
The letter was sent to him by the tower owner, and the content was very simple... that is, they had learned that Salvatore had successfully obtained the hammer. He urged him to go back quickly and prepare to advance to silver. ~IndoMTL.com~ This is nothing, Salvatore had expected it.
But he noticed that the tower owner referred to Annan as "the little duke" in his letter. He didn't believe that the tower owner had written the wrong word...
...They already know that this is Annan, not Don Juan?
This shows that someone has already used the magic of the Prophet School to check this fact.
This Salvatore can guess.
After all, Annan did not have the ability to solidify deflection or reflect the prophet's spells on himself, nor did he bring a substitute. High-level prophetic spells can definitely read this information.
But why did the Tower Master say that it would be dangerous to follow Annan?
"Annan will go to the royal capital in a few months..."
Salvatore was thinking worriedly.
If the tower master has learned Annan’s true identity...will someone in the royal capital know about it?
Are they planning to cause trouble for Annan?
What will Annan encounter when he goes to the royal capital this time?
Will someone try to curse Annan?
"No, I have to tell Annan before I leave..."
Salvatore murmured, crystallized on his fingertips, and then burned the letter with flames.
Then he took out a piece of paper and began to write something quickly on it.
——You must complete the advancement ceremony quickly.
If everything goes well, you should be able to advance within a month.
The Zedi Black Tower... is not far from the royal capital.
"If anything happens to you, I will come to help you, Annan..."
Salvatore muttered.
Shadow, who always liked to argue, remained silent on these words.
