292. Greetings
Following Cynthia, Merlin stepped into the majestic palace-like building.
Just like the official department he had been to in his previous life, the atmosphere in the Wizarding Association was somewhat oppressive and serious, which was an invisible psychological pressure formed by the official authority, which made people unconsciously feel awe.
Merlin saw some other wizards who came to the Guild to do business, and found that all of them were cautious and honest, which gave him a more accurate understanding of the status and authority of the Witchcraft Guild.
It's really a powerful force that can wrestle with the Templar Church, and it's the only super organization on the mysterious side.
For an otaku like Merlin who is not good at sociability, he actually hates coming to such a place, after all, it is too serious and depressing.
It's just that this time Merlin didn't feel any pressure, because when he followed Cynthia into the door, everyone lowered their heads silently, and the association civil servants and wizards in the hall who were originally sitting and working like uncles also hurriedly stood up at this time, and saluted respectfully to their side.
"Praise ...... the Sage"
Seeing that all of them looked so nervous and unafraid to breathe when they were inspected by the big leaders, Merlin, who had little experience in being a big man, was a little unaccustomed to it.
As Cynthia's henchman, he is also feared by everyone.
"Let's all work hard, don't worry about me."
Cynthia waved her hand so that everyone didn't have to be polite, and the atmosphere in the hall eased a little, and the wizards resumed their work, but their movements still seemed to be a little nervous and stiff.
In response, Cynthia simply led Merlin through the hall and into the interior of the guild.
"Sister, where are we going?"
Walking down the long hallway, Merlin asked Cynthia.
"Let's go to the witchcraft corridor first, register the magic net there, and make sure that my brother has your copyright."
Cynthia explained.
"Witchcraft and copyright?"
Merlin was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this world already had the concept of copyright, which was a bit advanced.
"Naturally, there is, and the protection of the copyright of self-created witchcraft is also the foundation of the status of the Wizards Association, which was founded at the beginning of the Wizards Association was actually just an idle organization where a group of wizards exchanged and learned witchcraft from each other, and at that time some enlightened wizards would leave their own unique witchcraft in the association and share it with all members to learn."
"Later, the Wizards' Guild grew and was no longer just a witchcraft exchange, but the tradition has been preserved, and the concept of witchcraft copyright has been introduced for this purpose."
"Wizards can submit their witchcraft to the association's witchcraft corridor, and if the association verifies that it is not plagiarism, then the witchcraft will be included in the witchcraft corridor."
"The Witchcraft Corridor is open to all wizards who have registered with the Association, and any wizard can go to the Witchcraft Corridor to find their favorite witchcraft to learn, but they only need to pay a tuition fee, which will be remitted to the name of the witchcraft creator after deducting the handling fee."
Considering that this was her brother's first time in the Wizarding Association, Cynthia introduced him like a tour guide.
"Now, except for a small number of wizard families' core inheritance, the witchcraft corridor preserves most of the witchcraft on the mysterious side, and you can see if there is anything you want, brother, in a while."
"I see."
Merlin suddenly realized that the more he studied recently, the more he became addicted to witchcraft, and he couldn't help but look forward to the witchcraft corridor he was about to go.
"Sage-sage, in the Lower Zolman. Timos, is there anything I can do for you? ”
As the siblings strolled down the hallway of the guild, a tall and handsome man appeared in front of them, and the man first respectfully performed a wizarding salute to Cynthia before introducing himself.
The man is really the eldest son of the Timos family, and the current deputy director of the Wizarding Society's summoning department. Timos.
..............
Although the Wizards Association is currently the official organization of wizards and plays the role of the government of the wizarding world, it is a former academic organization after all, so the internal structure is not quite the same as a normal government organization, and it does not set up so many government officials or anything, but still has a strong school style.
The supreme leadership is the Council of Sages composed of seven sages, and below is the nine major schools, namely alchemy, potions, necromancy, summoning, plasticity, transformation, spirit, prophecy, and warfare, which are also the nine most mainstream witchcraft systems in the wizarding world today.
Of course, as we all know, there are generally ten of the nine schools, in addition to these nine, there is also an invisible general school, also known as the miscellaneous school, those small types of witchcraft schools in the wizarding world with few learners or some strange witchcraft schools that do not know how to divide belong to the general miscellaneous, such as wizards' hands, puppetry, flying, space-time witchcraft or something.
It's just that the general school is more special, because the general witchcraft is either the hand of the wizard, the flying art is a wizard must learn the witchcraft, or the space-time witchcraft is a perverted thing to learn, and few people can learn it at all, so in fact, there has never been a real school, and the so-called universal school has always been a legend circulated among wizards, known as the non-existent tenth school.
In fact, as long as a wizard who has learned general witchcraft can jokingly call himself a person of the general school, and when the nine schools are torn apart every year, some of the more ideal and peace-loving wizards will also laugh and say what are you nine people making trouble, anyway, you can't shake the status of the first school in the wizarding world of our general school anyway, our comrades are all over the wizarding world, and the invisible first school is us or something.
It is these nine schools that are usually responsible for managing the normal operation of the Wizarding Association, and each school has a school director, and the nine directors constitute the middle leadership of the Wizarding Association, and the ordinary members of the nine schools are the grassroots cadres of the Wizarding Association.
It's just that considering that the high-level wizards at the top are all scientific research maniacs, and there is not enough time to conduct witchcraft research every day, there is really not much time to manage such a large organization, so the usual operation of the wizarding association is that the grassroots cadres are all sent together, and the leadership is on duty in turns, rotating every month.
This month it happened to be the turn of the summoning school to be on duty, and the master of the summoning department was Zolman's father, the old man was too lazy to go to work and moved his mouth, so Zolman, who was both a son and a deputy director, could only come over to work.
Zolman actually has no opinion on his father's willfulness, after all, the daily management of the association is actually quite idle, and most of the things are done by the people below.
But today, Zolman felt a little bad, he drank tea in his office as usual, chatted with the beautiful secretary about life, and was very happy, but his office was kicked open.
Before Zolman got angry, he saw his baby sister running in with red eyes, which made him what else could he do as an older brother, he had to let the beautiful secretary leave the office first, and then asked softly what happened to his sister, who bullied her, and he went to vent his anger on her.
As a result, before he could say a word, the secretary who had just gone out entered the office in a panic and said that the sage was coming, and it was the notorious calamity sage Cynthia.
A sage descends to the association, as the current supreme leader, Zolman naturally wants to go over to personally accompany the reception, but his sister is crying like this now, and he can't ignore it, which makes him in a dilemma, and finally he decided to put official business first, he repeatedly asked his sister to wait for him in the office for a while, and then hurriedly ran over to receive the sage.
..................
"The eldest young master of the Timos family? Oh, I just saw your sister beaten in the gladiatorial arena, and she was beaten so badly. “
Merlin was still looking at this handsome wizard who was only three stops behind him in terms of handsomeness, when he suddenly heard Cynthia beside him say this.
This suddenly made Merlin look at his sister a little speechless, no wonder she is so difficult to fight, if this broken mouth is almost eighty percent strong, she will not survive now.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard Cynthia's words, the originally smiling face of Zolman on the other side distorted, even though he knew that this was a sage in front of him who he couldn't afford to mess with, he couldn't help but ask a little rudely.
"Sage, please tell me who beat my sister below?"
It was a sister-controlled man who asked with a bit of murderous intent in his tone.
And Zolman's tough tone made Cynthia, who didn't care much about him, take a serious look, and felt that this guy was a little more pleasing to the eye, and at this moment, the wonderful intimacy between the brother demon and the sister control increased.
"It was my student's fight, and your sister challenged my student first, Zolman, right, I think your sister may need to be educated well, and if it goes on like this, she will suffer sooner or later."
Cynthia said with a smile on her face, but her emotionless eyes made Zolman shiver all over her body.
This is already a warning from the sage.
"Lord Sage, let them solve the children's affairs by themselves, this year the association has discovered a new secret realm that has not yet been developed, the difficulty of development is moderate, the association is preparing to use this half plane as the home of this year's club activities, my Timus family is willing to allocate half of the family quota to Aldrich, as a congratulatory gift to congratulate the Sage on becoming the head of Aldrich's house, what do you think?"
Feeling the chill from the soles of his feet to the heavenly spirit cover, Zolman didn't even dare to wipe the cold sweat on his face, and said with difficulty maintaining the smile on his face.
"Clever boy, forget it, don't worry, I'm not going to trouble a little child, you can go to the association, I'm just going to the witchcraft corridor today, I don't need you to accompany me, by the way, say hello to your old lady on my behalf."
The smile on Cynthia's face widened a little brighter, and she waved her hand and walked forward with Merlin.
"Yes, Sage-sage, your greetings will be conveyed to Grandmother-sama in the future."
In place, after Cynthia and Merlin walked away, Zolman breathed a sigh of relief, recalling the pair of turquoise eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts just now, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
This damn mind-reading....
After confirming that the terrible half-elf witch had gone away, Zolman dared to curse angrily in his heart.
He had just almost died, and in a trance he felt like he saw the raging River Styx.
He was sure that if he had just had the slightest thought of revenge or murderous intent in his heart because of that witch's words, he would probably no longer have this person by now.
This Calamity Witch is really as protective and ferocious as the legend says, even his grandmother, who is also a sage, has never brought him such terrifying pressure.
"Alas, my silly sister, you have made my brother miserable this time."
The frightened man smiled wryly.....
