Chapter 66: The First Lesson
Lin Qian has not been idle in the past few days, although most of the preparations have been done by the people below, but in terms of the specific effect achieved, Lin Qian still has to personally inspect and supervise. In addition, the affairs of the Magic Guild have gradually increased, because a large number of magicians have come to register mercenaries, and the tasks of the Guild are almost instantly snatched away as soon as they are released.
The construction of the academy is inseparable from the investment of teachers, Lin Qian has natural resources such as magic mercenaries, so naturally he will not waste them, and he has successively issued several tasks to hire teachers from the Higher Academy of Magic for a short time.
"We are looking for 20 seventh-level light magicians, taught at the Higher School of Magic, with 50 silver coins per lesson, and the requirements are: fluent in language and clear speech. Mission Level B. ”
This is a kind of job advertisement, 5,000 yuan for a class, which is also a good income, and it is a part-time job, the kind that can leave after a class. Light magic only has a healing effect at a low level, and there are few people who learn it, and this is what Lin Qian lacks the most, and it is good to recruit 20 people at a time.
Now that the scale of the guild is large, it has naturally attracted a lot of magic masters to join, and it is still very easy to find 20 magicians above level seven, and this problem was quickly solved. Lin Qian relied on the power of the Magic Guild to alleviate a lot of tedious work.
Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye, and when it comes to the official opening day of the academy, this buffer period is actually so that the enrolled students can find a place to live in the blue city, or get familiar with the geographical environment.
The main courtyard next to the Magic Guild was still teaching according to the original plan, Lin Qian was not worried about here, he was worried about the situation of the Welsh Family Branch.
As the dean of the branch, the Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers asked to go into battle in person in the first class, so as to show the strength of the dean, convince the students of the branch, and prevent all the students from running to the main house. Of the dozen or so classes held at the same time, this class had the largest number of students, filling the entire classroom, and many students did not have seats and stood in the last row.
Lin Qian was among these standing students, he was the first and only student to be recognized as the old man, and he had never heard him lecture, and he had never learned a little magic from him. At this point, the old foxes seem to have taken the lead.
The surrounding students were all looking intently at the old man on the stage, not noticing that Lin Qian, who was dressed in disguise, was the real dean.
"I'm your teacher for this class, to be honest, old man...... Ahem...... I've never taught anyone, and you're the lucky ones. The opening remarks of the Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers were extremely arrogant, as if he could hear his lectures as if his ancestors had accumulated virtue.
Many of the students in the audience are small "masters" above level 4 or even 5, although the strength of this old man is stronger, but this attitude is too crazy, and many people began to talk in a whisper.
"Quiet!" the Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers shouted loudly, and it clearly reached the ears of every student through the wind magic, shaking the eardrum painfully.
Lin Qian rubbed his ears, Teacher Xindao was really unkind.
"The old man is talking about magic above the third level today, and I invite all beginners to go out, this place is not suitable for you. If you are willing to listen to the book of heaven here, I have no opinion. The old man first stated the level of this class, ensuring that there would be no beginners asking questions in the future.
"Okay, the old man hopes that there won't be any questions that beginners should know about in the future, and I'm going to start talking. ”
Lin Qian straightened up, ready to listen carefully to every next sentence.
"You are all registered magicians, and many of you may already be very strong magicians, and your previous teachers may tell you that magic is the transformation of spiritual power, and it is the actual manifestation of spiritual power. This is true, but they don't know what they're talking about, in fact, magic is a tool through which we can turn imaginary things or actions into reality.
"For example, if I want to light a fire, I use magic to make it happen, and I only need to use a little mental energy. If it weren't for magic, I would probably have to use other tools and use more energy to light the fire.
"When it comes to ignition, no matter what kind of tools I use, I have to expend a certain amount of energy to accomplish what I want to do. So, we can conclude that magic is actually a kind of spiritual energy, it does not arise out of thin air, because it is acquired through meditation, and it does not disappear out of thin air, because it is only transformed into other energies by casting spells.
"If we know this, we can draw a lot of conclusions that will improve our magical comprehension. For example, if he is also a magician who has just reached the fourth level, why are the two always strong and weak when they fight. Because although the spiritual energy of the two is similar, the actual transformation is not the same. One may be able to unleash super energy with a single cast, and the other may just be the energy to light a fire. This is what you need to improve with practice, and the intensity of magic casting is definitely not high by listening to lectures.
"If all your spiritual energy can be converted into the power you want, and there is no wasted power in between, then your magic level will directly rise to a level, and you can even compete with high-level magicians. Such a situation is almost impossible for you, for the magic that completely transforms psychic energy into power is only the forbidden spell of our arcane magic, which is too far away from you.
"There are three types of magic in this world, arcane, natural, and summoning. You may ask why the callings should be taken out separately and grouped into categories, but this is actually a mistake made by people in the past.
"Today, Calvin's summoning magic is the most complete summoning system, but they have never dared to correct the mistakes made by their predecessors, and have always classified summoning magic as a branch of arcane magic. Only 'Mogulia' has done this, and he makes it clear in his notebook that summoning magic should be in its own right, as its system is completely different from arcane magic.
"The old man was fortunate enough to see the contents of Mogulia's notebook, so he dared to take it out and offer it ugly. Mogulia believed that there were at least four branches of summoning magic. The first is the Phantom Mage, who fights with summoned phantom beasts, the second is the Soul Mage, who controls the souls that remain after death, the third is the Skeleton Mage, who manipulates the corpse of a person after death, and the fourth is the Beast Mage, who domesticates the real species as his combat partner.
"The summoning magic we usually talk about is all phantom beast magic, which is just the materialization of spiritual power. Although we have also been exposed to the other three summoning magics, they are simply classified as summoning magic, and have not been studied in depth. It is precisely because of the misunderstanding of summoning magic that until now, there has not been a full-fledged summoning magician. ”
The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers said a lot in one breath, and paused to digest it for the students in the audience.
Not to mention these students, even Lin Qian heard about many of them for the first time. Magic is the transformation of energy, this sentence The old fox once told Lin Qian, but where can Lin Qian understand? This time he almost understood, the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King has the potential to be a teacher.
"Teacher, what are you going to talk about today, what are you going to talk about today?" A student immediately asked.
"For the specific division of magic, you can find the corresponding teacher, I will only talk about the basic theory and experience. "The old man was a little impatient, which should have been known to every student.
"Teacher, you are the head of the branch, what level of magician are you?" Some curious students began to inquire about the information of the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King.
"The old man doesn't know what level it is. The old man said helplessly.
"Have you reached the maturity stage?" the student then asked, seemingly really trying to confirm the strength of the teacher.
"Dacheng? I'm already past Dacheng. The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers said proudly.
The students in the audience wondered for a while, what does it mean that it has already passed? Is it higher than the maturity stage?
"You mean you're beyond the Maturity Period?"
"Of course, I was already in the fire system sixty years ago. "The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers arrived in Dacheng sixty years ago and met Lipsus in the same Dacheng period, and what happened next.
"Is there a higher realm than the Dacheng stage?" In the hearts of these students, reaching the Dacheng stage is a distant goal in their lives, how can there be a more perverted existence?
"Of course there is, but I can't say exactly what the realm is, at least the Dacheng stage master is not an opponent in front of me at all. ”
"Teacher, can you ask your name?" a student who looked to be in his 20s stood up and asked.
"I forgot the name. But the title, there are many people who call me the Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers. "The old man is a little complacent, not everyone has such a domineering title.
However, the reaction from the audience made the old man a little disappointed, because no one knew about this title. These students are relatively young, and even the older ones probably didn't reach that height at the beginning, and they are extremely unfamiliar with the Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers who is a single man with thousands of troops.
"Haven't you heard of it? Go back and ask the old people in your family, or ask the magicians over seventy, they might know something. "This teacher is really depressed, and he can't show his strength to the students.
"I've heard of it!" Lin Qian knew that this was his chance to stand up.
All the students turned their heads to look back, only to see a somewhat familiar face.
"It's ...... No, it's really him!" The sharp-eyed student had already seen the clue.
Lin Qian strode onto the stage, smiling and nodding his head to confirm the students' guesses.
"This is my teacher, Mr. Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King, who was once in power sixty years ago. You've probably heard of Lipsus, the Empire's No. 1 Magician, who and my teacher have been rivals for sixty years, and who still hasn't decided the winner. I think you should know his strength, right?"
