Chapter 106: The Seeds of the White Tower Academy and the Mage Regiment (Part II)
Before the harvest festival, the nursery to which the White Pagoda belongs, more than 50 students shuttle through it like bees. In addition to asking them to bring themselves, the necessary tools for today's lesson are pen and paper, but the most common thing to use is their tongue. Herbology Practical Lesson - Remember what herbs look like, taste them, and record them.
Clever students chew herbs in the order in which their medicinal properties are neutralized; Reckless students chew on horses and try the taste according to the distance. Clever students borrow their peers' notes; Foolish students, lend notes to others.
Which student is worth cultivating and which student needs to be trained, the tutor naturally has a criterion in mind. Not all students are suitable for the pursuit of arcane arts, and the talent is ultimately limited to a very small number of people who have the opportunity to impact the master realm, and those who have successfully promoted to the master are extremely rare or none.
Thanks to the elves' long life, the apprentice discovers that his talents are limited and has the opportunity to choose his own path in life for a second time. They are much luckier than humans.
"Erelien, Grundorf, Koslin, Rector, Doraniel," said Master Harold, who called out the names of the five elves, and they were brought out by him like little mice: "You are very smart, but you belong to the category of cleverness, borrowing the notes of your companions to complete the lesson, do you know that you can't actually learn anything." ”
The five did not dare to speak up, they were not very old, and it took time to realize their mistakes.
"Three people in Flowing Fire, two people in Frost Dew, we will deduct points according to the number of people, and each person will deduct ten points for their own academy."
There was a burst of boos from the apprentices.
Harold was not satisfied, deducting points was not the goal, the purpose was to mobilize the students' thinking and make them understand what was wrong: "Master Shane, when you were your age, he did the same course, but he meticulously completed the identification of twenty herbs, and he completed the two-day course of others, he completed it in half a day. I give this example to say that his achievements were not achieved by stealing and slipping, but by hard work. Erelien: I remember you talking about your ideals. ”
"Harold lecturer, I was wrong."
"Good," Harold was pleased with his attitude.
"What happened to the master's tongue then? Is it swollen like mine? At this point, a not-so-intelligent looking elf interjected.
Education is a subtle process. Harold patiently: "No, Master Shane's tongue was not swollen at that time, but it was more serious than you, and the wound must be healed with the Holy Light Spell"
The words were exchanged for a burst of easy laughter.
"It's so easy to deceive," he lamented the simplicity of the students. After a few years they were more mature, and the same topic would certainly not work, and he thought unscrupulously, "Then I said that if you want to marry a beautiful lady like Lady Sylvanas, you must study the arcane arts as hard as a master. Then that changed. Talked about by elves.
Lending notes to other students, he is not going to criticize them in front of everyone, because that behavior is more stupid than Erelien, the mage must have a sense of protecting his knowledge, otherwise he will only have the fate of a stepping stone for the rest of his life, and educate them alone when he finds an opportunity to tutor.
"You five go back to your group," Harold looked at the timer, it was almost lunchtime, and he took the students to eat at the farmhouse.
Following the style of the elve, the farmhouse is as beautiful as possible to decorate the curves and patterns. Dozens of merchants were waiting in the farmhouse
They were hired by White Tat to take care of the apprentices' daily necessities and supplies, and the merchant leader came in to meet the students and approach Harold. Then plates of food are taken out of the food box and arranged on the table. The ingredients are not expensive and belong to the public taste, but after careful preparation, the taste is very good, and the students who have worked hard all morning are immersed in eating it.
Sashana was a little annoyed, her house was ten points behind in the morning, but it was just annoyance. The daily addition and subtraction of points tests the student's self-discipline, and Carlinda's frost dew has the stupid Erelian. She is not worried about the daily scores. The harvest festival is a key project for her.
Their harvest festival was not destined to be as revelry as Silvermoon City, and Shane had the idea of making the most of the skills of an introductory apprentice, with seven puzzles corresponding to seven pieces of magical equipment, which were hidden anywhere in the White Tower's jurisdiction. It's easy to find only by solving puzzles. The two academies competed against each other, and found the one with the most equipment to win, not only with the equipment, but also with special rewards.
"Can't lose to Carlinda" Sashana looked at Carlinda, who was sitting at the other table, thinking that the odds were more than half. Karlinda was munching on her meal, and the stupid Erelien sat beside her like an angry bag. There is Erelion. The odds of Frostdew Academy are two layers less, and Sashana is in a good mood when she thinks of this. Yesterday, her little friend was already eager to try, guessing what puzzles and equipment the tutor had given, and the strength was working hard to beat the Frostdew Academy.
And not long after the academy opened, Sean was so busy that he couldn't touch his feet as he had predicted. The tower built for him by Silvermoon City the day before yesterday had just completed the arcane passage, and his chief engineer, Tallonikus, said he had learned the craft. He immediately picked up the engineering team from Silvermoon City, and discussed the details of the first phase of the Arcane Academy with Tallonikus late at night. Yesterday morning, I met with representatives of the Dawn Blade merchants to purchase construction materials, building materials. Teleported to Silvermoon City yesterday afternoon, hand-picked the interior of the academy, and made sure to be beautiful but not luxurious. Return to the White Tower in the evening and teach the little Naga spell tricks. This morning, Tallonikus came over with the revised blueprints to continue working on the details.
The main building of the Arcane School is designed with a semi-oval appearance, white, 30 meters high, and covers an area of 5,000 square meters. It is surrounded by gardens and dormitories for teachers and students. Considering that the Red Sun White Tower is going to float, the construction site is one hundred and fifty meters away from the Mage Tower.
"That's it" Shane revised a few times, and the blueprint was returned to Tallonikus: "Start construction as soon as possible, allocate 100,000 start-up funds initially, and pay all the works before completion." ”
Although the followers work for the masters, no one can take away the property rights of their talents. Shane used Tallonikus's engineering team, and he should have given a lot of copper. The advantage is that there is a surplus in the cost, and 500,000 gold is saved by 10 percent, which fills the floating plan that Shane can't feed at all.
As the trade season draws to a close, his Master Annuity, Arcane School Operating Funds, and trade income will arrive at the end of the year. I thought that the 280,000 gold at the bottom of the box in my purse could take a few more breaths.
Sending away Tallonikus, I didn't eat a few bites of Chinese food, and Haduron found it. The puppet engineer of the White Tower sums up the battle of Firas and works together to design a four-legged walking golem, asking Shane to change the clothes of the Red Sun Guard.
"I'll see it there, wait patiently for my reply" Designing puppets is his forte, and the four-legged puppet still seems unstable to him, and the stability of the arachnid puppet in land combat can meet the needs of future wars.
With the Eye of Truth to match, the redesign took another afternoon. Sean is full of energy, and he can't help but have the idea of resting.
"Erecia isn't outside." He shouted.
"Master, please command," Erecy pushed the door in.
"Report my ten-day itinerary."
"Yes," she bowed, "Now on, preside over the meeting of the White Tower Council in the afternoon, and assign follower tasks." Tomorrow morning, the apprentice will be taught a course on spell-casting techniques, and it will be arranged at five in the evening. Tomorrow during the day, the workshop will make magic items, and there will be no schedule for the evening. The morning after tomorrow, the harvest festival ...... For the next ten days, there will be no free time except for the evening time master's free disposal. ”
He had never felt so busy studying the arcane. I'm in a race against time! (To be continued.) )
