Chapter Eighty-Three: Choice
The three of them turned into an inconspicuous door through the alleyway, and inside was an ordinary office, empty.
Rebecca looked around and fixed on a shadow, and shouted, "Phoebe, come out! There's a guest here!", when a gray shadow appeared in the shadow of the vase in the corner of the window. It must have been Phoebe, who seemed to be meditating, and it was their shadow mage's instinct to sneak in the shadows.
"My God, isn't this Su Ze and Janet? How did you suddenly become a third- or fourth-level magician! A year or two ago, when you corresponded with the teacher, weren't you only at the second or third level, how did your spiritual power rise so fast. Phoebe opened her eyes with a look of surprise in her eyes, and she couldn't even maintain her stealth state, revealing her true face from the shadows. I haven't seen her for many years, but her face has not changed much like Rebecca.
Su Ze was accustomed to this kind of surprise, touched his nose and explained again, and threw the pot at Alison as usual, he asked, "Phoebe, who is your teacher?
"It's Ella Wheeler, the Instructor in charge of the Academy's Nightingale Patrol Squad. Phoebe replied, motioning for them to sit down and talk.
It turned out to be her, Su Ze secretly said in his heart that he had a relationship with the fire trainee mentor of the Surrey family when he clashed, and his senses were not good, so he only nodded and did not answer, and turned to observe this room. The layout of the room is quite simple, without a bit of the temperament that a judge should have, Su Ze was born in a family in his previous life, and he still has some understanding of the layout of the main stations of the major forces, and knows that the layout of the station is a matter of face, but none of them are so simple, as if they don't care.
Phoebe smiled: "Don't look at it, this is just a liaison office of the Inquisition, how can the real headquarters take you there." There are 23 liaison offices like this in every street in Los Angeles, and the National Police Department usually comes here to contact the Inquisition when there is a magical incident. Each squad is responsible for 3, and this piece happens to be me and Rebecca on duty this month. ”
Then the four of them began to catch up, Phoebe and Rebecca had also experienced the college days, so they naturally knew that life there was quite boring. In contrast, although the two of them usually meditate and practice penance in the Inquisition, they basically have several missions every year, which is quite thrilling.
"By the way, you are already a fourth-level magician, so according to the rules, you must leave the academy after ten years. Have you figured out where to go?" asked Phoebe, a hint in her gray eyes, only to disappear in the blink of an eyelash.
"Is there such a rule?" Su Ze didn't even know what Phoebe was talking about, so naturally he couldn't understand his hints. He looked back at Janet next to him and asked, why does the academy have such a rule?
"This is a rule that has been notified by the mentor to let magicians who have been promoted to the third level for more than ten years leave the magic academy to cultivate on their own. Similarly, if a student wants to continue his studies at the Academy, he needs to meet two conditions. One is to be promoted to the level of a fifth-level magician (up to 1400 spiritual powers) within fifty years after leaving the academy, and the second is to enter the magic institution of the province and work for twenty years. You can't have one without the other!
The fourth-level magicians we saw before were all students who had already left from various institutions or had not yet arrived.
I was told when I came back to see my teacher, and because of the Battle for the Tower, Mentor Catherine never had time to summon all the new Level 3 mages to announce this rule. Janet spoke briefly, and continued. "The teacher meant that I should go to the Nightingale Knights, hoping to hone my fighting skills, and he said that although I have a good grasp of magic, I have never experienced a battle, and I have always lacked some things that a dark mage should have. Although the Knights are generally at the peak of the third level and close to the fourth level before they can join, he will have people approve me to join, but I haven't thought about it yet. ”
"Uh!" Phoebe apparently didn't expect a fourth-level mage to not know this, and her expression was choked. However, thinking of the time when Su Ze was promoted, he was relieved.
"Tsk, Lord Acheson is really not considerate of female disciples at all! The Nightingale Knights are not a good place. Rebecca said, apparently knowing the so-called Nighthawk Knights, and couldn't help but shake her head, expressing misfortune for Janet's future.
"Is it the same organization as the Nightingale Knights?" asked Suze.
"Well, the Nightingale Knights in the Bones are just an offshoot of it, to be exact. In Carmelo, the kingdom's defense in terms of supernatural power is the Magic Academy Alliance, which has established defense departments in all provinces. In addition to the Inquisition of the Judicial Commandment, which is located throughout the kingdom, the Knights of the Nightingale are responsible for the province's defense against foreign invasions in Lochmadi. Not only mages and fighters, but the most important part is actually the misty forest that spans several provinces. Its main duty is to keep the magical creatures inside from rushing out and disturbing mortals.
The composition of the Knights, except for a small number of reliable liberal magicians who have been inspected, the rest of the personnel are from the royal family and various magic academies and fighting academies in the provinces, whether it is a patrol team or a knight team, they are their backup source. However, the threshold for the knights is much higher, and it is set up for the knights to select captain-level magicians or fighters. ”
"So, Su Ze, do you have any plans? Ten years is not a long time, are you interested in coming to our court. After all, with your current level, you are barely qualified to join the Los Angeles headquarters, and Janet, you can come too, I believe that there will be no one who will not give Lord Acheson face. ”
When Rebecca finished introducing the Nightingale, Phoebe saw that she wanted to recruit the two. The corners of his mouth rose, and he smiled a little proudly: "Although the alliance organization only recruits people once in ten years, it will basically recruit all the third-level magicians. There is still a year until the next time, but our Inquisition and Nightingale can reach out to the Academy at any time, so if you decide to come to the Inquisition, you might as well go to 56 Ayer Avenue to find Ms. Beate Shaw, who is in charge of the magician part and is also our senior sister of the dark department, a fifth-level magician. "Obviously, I am sure that it can be done, after all, there is such a relationship.
Janet looked at Su Ze, there was a look of intention in her bright eyes, she pursed her lips, put her hands in her knees, very ladylike. She was waiting for Su Ze to speak.
This news was obviously very abrupt to Su Ze, according to his thoughts, he had planned to meditate and meditate in the academy all the time, and he was reluctant to leave the ashram even if there was nothing he wanted, after all, the monk's time was precious, how could he dare to waste time on mundane affairs. Suddenly told this, the plan was completely disrupted. He said, "I'll think about it!"
The four of them then talked for a while, and only then did Suze and Janet leave when they knew that Rebecca was going to check on the news from the other two liaison offices.
On the way to Sheffield Avenue, Suze pondered Phoebe and Rebecca's proposal and pondered the purpose of the Academy's actions. After all, once the magicians leave the academy, it will be difficult to control, is it really safe to let so many magicians wander around the kingdom, this does not seem to be in line with the purpose of the alliance to maintain stability.
However, a carriage drove by him, and the wind brought up by Su Ze's burqa, he thought that the academy also had a backhand, for those magicians who chased higher powers, for the magic spells and magic items treasured in the academy, and also in order to obtain magic stones to maintain their own cultivation, 100% would enter the various institutions of the alliance to work, and work hard to cultivate and wait for twenty years to pass, and strive to reach the fifth level within fifty years The magician returns to the academy. As for those who refuse to hear the arrangement, the way forward has been cut off, and it is not enough to do anything dangerous.
"It's really a last resort!" Su Ze raised his head and sighed.
"What?" asked Janet, who was on the side, turning her face and looking up. Su Ze motioned for her to slow down and explained, "I said that the academy has no last resort, even if you have graduated and left the academy, you can't get out of the control of the alliance. That's right, whether it's a mage or a fighter, if you leave it alone, there are indeed a lot of harms. ”
"I heard the teacher say that the academy actually has another purpose in doing this, the academy thinks that magicians who have not experienced the tempering of battle are immature, and they have not developed the full potential of magicians, such magicians will eventually be eliminated, and in the end, they can't even keep the inheritance of the academy, how to protect the safety of the kingdom?"
"Why is it that the academy also meddles in the affairs of the state? It is strange that the mundane affairs of the magicians are ignored and that they are very concerned about these mundane affairs. Why would these high-ranking adults spend their precious time in the pursuit of eternal life thinking about these questions?" Su Ze had personal experience and didn't believe Acheson's words, coupled with the attitude of cultivators in his previous life towards being away from the world, he didn't understand the meaning of the academy and the alliance in doing so.
"But whatever their purpose, it's a good thing!" he said, at least until he stepped into the wizarding world, as an ordinary person, he was not at all disturbed by supernatural powers.
Janet also nodded in agreement: "These things are not for you to consider. Do you have a place you want to go? Although there are many institutions under the jurisdiction of the Alliance, in addition to the Inquisition and the Knights, only the Provincial Headquarters has a slightly better treatment, which can meet the needs of Philosopher's Stones in both combat and cultivation. Other institutions are either poorly paid or have a lot of mundane affairs, which are not very suitable for cultivation. All magicians who want to be promoted to the fifth level will basically not choose, and only those magicians who are unemployed and barely graduated will choose to retire!"
Su Ze waved his hand and said, "Didn't Phoebe say that the court can ask for someone at any time? As long as the strength is passed, then it will definitely not be a problem to enter, and it is nothing to miss this opportunity." My plan was to spend ten years at the academy and then go to the Inquisition. After all, there are not many opportunities to have Philosopher's Stones in your account every month without having to do things. It just so happens that during this time, you can stabilize your cultivation. ”
He knew that his magical talent was very mediocre, and he didn't think that his normal penance cultivation would reach level five, after all, the improvement of the cultivation realm could increase the upper limit of spiritual power, and his cultivation qualification was acceptable, so he naturally wanted to make good use of this advantage. If you join the Inquisition now, then wouldn't your cultivation progress be much slower in the next twenty years, plus you still have to practice the two major swordsmanship in your hand, and find various materials for Cole to be promoted to the Night Emissary, these things add up to ten years is too little.
Janet lowered her head when she heard this, very disappointed, she stared at the tip of her shoe and said disappointedly: "In this case, then I have to go first." The teacher said that after graduating next year, he asked me to leave the academy and report to the Knights. ”
"Don't go to the Knights, go to the Inquisition. Just now Rebecca also said that the Knights are not good, and there are Rebecca and Phoebe, and Tim in the Inquisition. Besides...... And me, I'll go later. Su Ze didn't want Janet to go to the Knights, and although he couldn't do anything about Acheson's decision, he still wanted to be close to Janet. The two have been together for so many years, and suddenly they are about to say goodbye, Su Ze is reluctant to think about it, so he blurted out.
He looked at Janet, hoping that she would accept it.
Sure enough, sensing that Su Ze had stopped, Janet saw his expectant eyes as soon as she raised her head, she immediately smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, I'll go tell the teacher!"
