Chapter 132: Talking about business
As a top institution with the strictest admission standards, some rules and regulations of Jialan College have always been at the forefront of the Jialan Empire and even the entire Muma Plain.
Among them is a rule for graduates who cannot be learned by other institutions to return to school.
The college stipulates that students can sign a tracking report form before reaching the graduation qualification, successfully passing the assessment, and being allowed to leave the school, during which they can report their recent detailed whereabouts data to the college every three months, and pay 1/10 of the tuition fee at the same time, they can extend the student qualification for three months.
A total of 20 similar extensions can be made, which means that you can retain your student status for five years after graduation, of course, the financial and energy spent on this is borne by the individual.
The advantage of such a lot of effort is that when you are dissatisfied with your life after graduation, or feel that you can't adapt to such a cruel life and need to go back to school to continue your studies, you have the option of "going home". Of course, the back-to-school season also starts in earnest, and since then it has been no different from other students.
For example, there was a student who graduated at the age of 55, and he frequently tossed between the dual identities of student and scholar, and almost completed all of Jialan's courses one after another - except for those that he could not go deep due to his own ability limitations.
Later, this gentleman joined the Silver Candle Society, and later was invited back to the college by Jialan to become a professor because of his profound knowledge......
He is Professor Dawn Garcia.
For the majority of mage students, the student qualification is extended for five years, and then the student status is restored in the sixth year, and the student status is reinstated after one year, and the new 20 extension opportunities are obtained...... It's already a regular process. After all, as a student of Jialan, with this towering tree on his back, the benefits he enjoys far exceed the purchasing power included in this tuition, which is a very far-sighted investment.
And mages who are so far-sighted and thirsty for knowledge are often very capable, and the school will not pursue this kind of loophole behavior, and over time, it will become an unspoken rule that everyone understands.
In the past, Jialan's students didn't feel that the back-to-school rules had any impact on their lives, but recently, it became clear that the frequency of new faces on campus has increased several times more than before.
And these fresh faces often exude a strong and confident atmosphere, although they don't even have uniforms, they don't look unusual at all, but they are familiar with the road......
Most of them crowded in front of Seraf.
At this point, the students at school seem to understand something......
It wasn't until August 21, when the fresh list came out with the 50th issue of the newspaper, that they were convinced that this group of people had come back to school for the purpose of that.
The changes on the list are visible to the naked eye: on the arena kill list, poor Archduke Anjou was squeezed out of the top ten by a name that came out of nowhere, and even Lucien's top spot was only retained because of time constraints, and since then the top ten in the arena have all become mages who independently kill sixth-level demonic beasts......
The magic indoctrination list is even more interesting, and the first place is a girl named Vivien, which lasts for twenty-seven hours......
This not only made people dumbfounded, but also broke the rumors related to the ability to have sex a month ago.
The situation on the list is changing, like a big drama, which makes people dizzying, and at the same time, the students of Jialan also faintly feel as if some kind of change is quietly happening.
Their lives are getting more and more interesting.
……
……
That afternoon, the door of the apartment was knocked three times, and Mu Yan's long-awaited business finally came to the door.
The Elemental Tower sent out a priest with a rich appearance, a kind face, and a total of four rings on his two hands.
Mu Yan swept it with his perception, and roughly figured out that the trigger-type defense ring and dissociation ring, which represented the psychic spell resistance, elemental spell resistance, and an unknown level, could be called an offensive and defensive one, and one person was always a legion.
If this priest is besieged, if the opponent is not resourceful enough to seal off the space, then he can tear the scroll open and send him away, and then lead the arbiters of the tower to fight back.
In comparison, the people of the Mercenary Association were much more shabby, a middle-aged man with red hair, carrying a large sword wrapped in an oilcloth behind his back, and wearing a torn cloak, and the holes on it looked like cigarette butts were burned.
Although it was so shabby and mixed, Mu Yan knew very well that the cloak and oilcloth were all made of the skin tanned by the blue glowing salamander, and as for the big sword behind it, which looked like magma in perception, it was most likely forged from sulfur iron, so it was necessary to wrap it with these two skins to cover its temperature.
Finally, there are the people of the Mage Guild.
The visitor was a little girl, a head lower than Miss Cha Cha, but she wore a tall mage hat that completely covered her face, so much so that she had to stop and hold the brim of her hat after taking two steps.
But Mu Yan knew very well that this was Miss Vivian, the monster on the magic infusion list who had persisted for 27 hours, that is, the apprentice of Mr. Farkas, the current vice president of the Mage Association.
It's just that he's curious about what happened to the Mage Guild that he can send this one out......
After all, even in the game, Lord Farkas is a difficult person to get along with - hot-tempered, impatient, and the key is that he is prone to self-defeat, and is generally a very pessimistic person.
In the game, this is epitomized by the mission he assigns: he instigates the player to drive Lorov away.
That's right, it's Lorov, the civilian hero who answered questions for civilian mages in Fa Blue City's Square of Truth and applied the "Eyes and Ears Intelligence" buff for one hour. He hires players to expel him, saying that he is a mourning bird that accelerates the death process, and that his voice is like a death knell echoing over the church......
At the same time, Farkas also has a very bad attitude towards Miss Lina, who has twice tried to repair the relationship between the tower and the guild, but he refuses, and slanders and curses her, saying that she is a betrayal and dishonest half-breed girl, born with sins, and there is no need to be cowardly.
And all of this is because of Fakas's special status......
He is the youngest apprentice of the Lord of Time, Reslin, in other words, Glazer is his brother.
Teacher Xia in the game couldn't understand the person Fakas, but now, Mu Yan vaguely understood.
Perhaps, in Farkas's view, there are two destinations for the legend, one is to die for the truth like his teacher Reslin, and never to appear again. The other is a compromise, like Glazer, who becomes Ikali's slave and even has his daughters join the Tower.
The relationship between the Mage Guild and the Elemental Tower is ambiguous, but even so, no mage from the Guild has ever claimed to be a believer, and Idril is the first and last.
That's why he hated Lina, and he hated all the people who tried to change the living environment of Master Jialan - it was like Mu Yan, who believed that the future was negative, and that their way of doing it was doomed, especially when there was a traitor like Glazer and no one could judge him......
But this time, Farkas uncharacteristically sent the apprentice over...... What the hell is going to be about?
Mu Yan was puzzled.
But he didn't care about these for the time being, and after a few words of greeting with the three of them, he went straight to the point and discussed business.
Not much different from what he had guessed, all three asked for cooperation, and came clearly prepared, they already knew a little bit about Seraf's effects.
The Mage Association wants Mu Yan to open up Seraf's access to the non-student members of the Association, they will pay monthly rent, and the two sides can start a long-term cooperation in the magic infusion area - this group is very good and knows what Mu Yan is asking for in opening this area.
The Mercenary Guild hopes to build 100 moon rooms outside of the academy, and wants to pay a dungeon designer to design a series of copies of the mercenary adventure to educate the fledgling recruits.
As for the tower......
This family is much more awesome, and the first thing that comes up to the mouth is "Your Excellency Mu Yan, are you willing to become a believer in the goddess?" ”
Of course, Mu Yan smiled and refused, but then the chief priest took Mu Yan's hand and chatted with him for half an hour about the teachings of the tower, which meant nothing more than "The tower is good at Dafa, and the religion is safe", and also hinted that if he didn't do this, the goddess would be unhappy......
What happens if the goddess is unhappy?
If it sounds good, it will be punished, and if it is bad, it will blow you to slag.
Are you kidding?
It's like three guests coming to a tavern for a drink, and they all think it's delicious, one of them wants to buy a license for friends who can't come in to have two drinks, and one wants to open a branch on his own territory...... The third one is good, he didn't say anything when he came in, and he had to let the boss give up the store in a sentence or two, if not, then we would have to let the people above do it to you.
Ha...... It's not even civilized robbery.
The white wolf with empty gloves also has to promise benefits first, and has to make empty checks first, right? Is the Elemental Tower too smooth sailing in Jialan to be confused about the current situation, or has the collective brain slurry expired after becoming Ikali's servant? Or is it that for a long time, Ikali's followers have been using this easy-to-understand F2A tactic, and under the premise of no operation?
Mu Yan suddenly wanted to laugh, the opponent behaved so mentally retarded, which made him very uncomfortable.
He even suspected that the other party was testing him for a while...... After all, it's stupid enough to feel unreal.
Looking down and thinking about it, he took the lead in speaking to the red-haired swordsman and Vivien:
"There's no possibility of Seraf opening a branch room outside, but I can talk to Principal William about opening it to the outside world. However, since this is an academy, mercenaries or other personnel who enter it may be supervised, and the same is true for mages. ”
Vivien raised her head, but her face was completely covered by her hat, and she had to stretch out a pair of small white hands from her wide sleeves and hurriedly raise her hat.
"That'...... How about building a special teleportation array? She asked.
"That's going to ask Principal William," Mu Yan shrugged, "But...... I don't think he'll allow a 'back door' to the Academy. You also understand how complicated the process of returning to school is and how strict the tracking report form is - that is the responsibility of the people who United Shadow Footsteps. ”
Vivien hung her head, as if thinking.
"I know you can't trust mercenaries, but such a strict identity check will make them feel embarrassed." The red-haired swordsman was also slightly dissatisfied.
Mu Yan smiled: "Do you still care about face at this time?" If those young people don't even understand the truth that 'people are under the roof and have to bow their heads,' and don't want to exercise a little moderation, I wonder if they have the need to use Seraf. It's better for such young people who don't know the height of the sky to become demonic feces as soon as possible, why do you cultivate them carefully? ”
The red-haired swordsman was a little embarrassed by what he said, and he also lowered his head.
Finally, he looked at the bishop.
"Lord Priest."
"I'm listening."
Mu Yan spread his hands, "As you can see, what I was doing just now is called 'talking business', do you understand?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"So, can we start 'talking business'? It has nothing to do with that 'joke' you said earlier. ”
The priest narrowed his eyes: "Young man, you mean...... The goddess is a joke? Are you blaspheming? ”
"That's what you said, it's none of my business." Mu Yan said with a smile.
"So you're refusing?"
"I rejected your kindness from the beginning. Since you're not here to talk about business, there's no need to talk about it. Mu Yan stood up and looked like a send-off.
The chief priest also stood up and stared at Mu Yan with those eyes that couldn't be opened, as if to gain insight into his true thoughts.
After a while, he smiled, and the fat on his face trembled.
"Good luck, then, Mr. Mu Yan."
"Yes, Mia will bless me."
"I hope so."
After the priest left, the remaining two stood up a little crampedly.
"The Mercenary Association has agreed to cooperate with you, Mr. Mu Yan." Swordsman's Road.
The Tower of Time agreed. Vivian stretched out her little white hand and shook it with Mu Yan.
"Actually, I'd rather meet that Lord Fakas." Mu Yan smiled: "I heard that he is a very 'good' person. ”
"Teacher Fakas......" Rao is Vivian couldn't help but bow her head and laugh, but then she raised her head: "Teacher, he is in retreat, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the short term." ”
"Retreated?"
"Yes, after meeting a special guest yesterday."
"Exceptional...... Guest? ”
Mu Yan was suddenly very curious about who this special guest was.
