Chapter 376: New Friends

As the largest magical society in the Land of Mages, the Mage Guild, which theoretically requires all mages to register to join, is known for its sluggish and bureaucratic administrative efficiency, and has been criticized in the country.

But considering that complaining about the inefficiency of the government is the daily life of the citizens of every country, compared with other countries, the efficiency of the mages is quite high, after all, the mages can fly and teleport, well, it must be admitted that this is a gold paste on the face of the mage....... cough, the low-level mage has endless homework, the senior mage has endless experiments, how can there be time to serve the people, basically it is their turn, either do it instantly, or instantly shirk the responsibility and throw it to others.

If you can't do it, then leave it to the group of people who are in charge of the "work that can't be done." If you still can't do it, most of the time no one cares.

It is not without spellcasters who are addicted to officialdom, but people's energy is limited, and those who are addicted to power and wealth can still become archmages are always only a minority.

Therefore, if you deal with mages, your previous rules and experience will probably be invalid, and your favors, eloquence, and bribery will encounter embarrassing situations where you don't have a person to use.

They will skip the opening remarks, politeness, and direct conversations, and throw out a whole bunch of rules and regulations and playbooks when there is an argument.

In order to avoid trouble and waste of time, they have developed a lot of rules and treatment plans, and if something goes wrong, just follow it.

How many levels of mages receive how much subsidy each month, what color of fancy-style robes do the mages of what disciplines wear, what kind of badges they wear, and what kind of altitude they can teleport in that block and what height they can fly.

This pattern of behavior permeates every corner of the mage's life, and dogmatism is probably no longer enough to describe their neurotic performance of even having to list the amount of lunch and the type of side dishes.

When he first arrived in the Land of Mages, Rorschach was not used to it.

But soon, he kind of liked it.

Because most of the interpersonal interaction can be dispensed with, as long as the pre-set rules are followed........ on another level, it is the ultimate indifference.

As long as you follow the rules well, don't get out of the line and don't foul, others won't take care of you, and you don't have to care about others.

Even, two people who have worked in the same department for several years may not recognize each other when they meet again after changing the environment and clothes, because there is usually no need for topics and communication, and everyone has their own things to be busy.

This is probably the inevitability of the extremely self-egoistic mage society to a certain extent, everyone only cares about their own affairs, and if they can live well if they only care about their own affairs, it is natural that they will become more and more indifferent and more regulated.

Of course, if the whole society is like this, it is estimated that people will not be able to live at all.

After all, human beings are social animals, and they need to communicate and communicate, although they are extremely self-like mages, they also need a platform for communication, learning, growth, and communication.

In particular, their research requires a lot of knowledge and resources, and a communication platform suitable for them can be said to be a must.

This is one of the roots of the magic community, which will become the main organizational form of the Mage Nation, and basically no high-level mage is completely independent, because a high-level mage represents countless resources to invest.

In the country of mages, most spellcasters will join an organization at the beginning, and some organizations attract members based on the content of research, such as the rock skeleton club that specializes in metal materials, special metal synthesis, and war golem construction, such as the test-tube rhythm club based on potion alchemy, which is a very famous academic club, and it is also very large.

Such an academic society has little political demand, is generally quite neutral, and has very little control over its members...... Of course, this refers to the ordinary members on the periphery, and the core members are already lifelong members of this community, and just making the huge community run normally is a lifelong heavy workload.

Members share all kinds of magic materials internally, hold regular academic lectures, exchanges, and buy and sell high-level magic materials....... which is not only the prototype of all magic societies, but also the most mainstream magic societies in any era in the country of mages, and also the most powerful ones.

After all, many pure mages have lived to a state where they don't need friends or communication, and this kind of person generally chooses the academic community.

Some organizations use beliefs and ideas to attract people, such as truth seekers, star explorers, FFF barbecue groups, etc., their members are relatively complex, and their individual abilities are also very different, the channels and methods of internal communication are extremely chaotic, and the degree of unity is also very different....... but the most difficult associations are all of this type.

There will be no shortage of associations that attract members by region and race, and there will be associations and alumni associations, and the Dead Movement Club, Bayer Flag, etc., are marked with characteristics on their names, which is not only convenient for new members to join, but also to avoid outsiders stepping on the wrong foot.

The most basic concept of participating in a magic club is because the club will come up with the most suitable magic materials and resources, communicate and trade in a small circle, and it is very convenient to join and withdraw before becoming a core member, and many mages need decades to determine their future "home".

Yes, home, for most of the mages who are destined to be lonely for life, the community and the union are similar to the family, of course, it is also necessary to distinguish, depending on the atmosphere of each community, generally speaking, the treatment of large communities is better, but the internal competition is more fierce, and small communities are more likely to have a family atmosphere.

Of course, there are also the opposite, some large associations have a good atmosphere of brotherly unity, while some small associations are intrigued and purely use each other, and cannot be generalized.

It can be said that choosing a suitable club for oneself is probably the most important choice in the life of the caster of the country of mages, and the importance is about the same as that of apprenticeship, because many clubs will basically solve your mentor problem, or conversely, most people are pulled into the club by their own mentor.

In the community, there are not only channels for learning and progress, but also opportunities for work entrustment, serving the community itself is a job, and research results and academic materials can also be exchanged for real gold coins.

Many mages will never come into contact with the unexpected people in their own society in their lifetime, and there is no need to contact them.

The magic community is the basic unit of the mage world, and a "wild mage" like Rorschach must join a club if he wants to integrate into the mage society...... In fact, that's exactly what he did.

First get the certification of the caster's rank, and then go around a few clubs, find a suitable one to join first, then your identity is also a household, and then it's a small problem.

But even the first step went wrong, and the simplest certification turned into a combat test in an official setting.

"In two hours? I don't know if that's enough time to prepare.......

If it is a combat test between low-level mages, the mage union can come up with a venue and testers at any time, but as the situation escalates, to be precise, with the anger of archmage Anthony, he said that he will take out fifty years of accumulation to fight seriously....... which is basically equivalent to a heavily armed mage taking out his own treasures to play for real.

The battle of two archmages above the fifth order can completely turn a small city into ruins at any time, and such a battlefield is not decided casually.

This is still on the premise that both sides are not on the mage magic armor, and they are really on the mage magic armor...... That's war.

As a result, the time and place of the duel had to be re-decided, and the scheduled time was nine o'clock tomorrow morning, so that everyone could rest and recover their magic......

"Hurry up, I'm still waiting for dinner. ”

Then Rorschach's words made Anthony's anger turn into a frenzy again, judging from the eyeballs that were almost out of the frame and the bloodshot in his eyes, it was impossible to imagine that this archmage really had a little orc blood.

The will of both sides made the duel time greatly advanced.

The two-hour preparation time not only gives the two sides time to adjust, but also the shortest time for the union to sort out a suitable battlefield.

But Rorschach, who provoked and died all the way, was actually not as confident in his heart as he appeared.

What he said was the truth, the fifth-order spellcaster was sure of victory, and the sixth-order would only know until he was beaten....... but this was his intact state.

Now that his body is tired and tired, his right hand is only a preliminary treatment, and he can't hold a sword at all, and most of the spell list has been sealed....... such a self, Rorschach in his heyday is sure to fight ten.

The promotion of the soul emblem is real, but to improve the combat power, it takes time, resources, and related knowledge, and Rorschach doesn't have any of them here.

Rorschach really has a headache, he may not have been beaten, he dropped his wild words and was really beaten, even if he didn't die, he didn't want to mix in this area in the future.

"Or a different face?"

At this moment, Rorschach is really thinking about changing his identity and changing his face to start all over again, anyway, it's not a pity that everything just started again, and it's not his real identity that is embarrassing.

But to Rorschach's surprise, sometimes it's not just friends who are resources, but enemies who are also resources.

"I know you may not trust us, but you've heard the saying that the enemy of your enemy is your friend...... We are mortal enemies of Anthony's society, so now we are friends. ”
