Chapter 13 Career Paths

On the terrace on the top floor of the teaching building, the time is 1 p.m.

"Come, Wen Cheng, sit down first." Su Meng took out a few pieces of tissue paper and spread them on the cement floor, then knelt down and sat down.

Wen Cheng sat down, and glanced meaningfully at the blue sky of the dome and the unfinished building in the distance, his belly was full, and the sun was shining directly in and sweating slightly.

Su Meng closed his eyes, a faint blue light appeared on his forehead, and softly recited "Closed strings reconstruction." Soon all sides were replaced by mottled prism fragments.

"Wen Cheng, please listen now, of course you can ask if you don't understand," Su Meng looked at him and said, "I'll spend twenty minutes talking to you about the duties and hierarchy of the magician."

Wen Cheng nodded.

"First of all, let's start with our duties," Su Meng suddenly said solemnly, "Wen Cheng, in fact, our world is in a state of war."

State of war!? Wen Cheng opened his mouth wide.

"Well, our world is actually guarded by a high-dimensional civilization called the Recycler."

High-dimensional civilization? It wasn't very difficult to understand, and the boy nodded quickly.

"So they are our gods?"

"Not exactly," Su Meng said, "in exchange, the recyclers left 26 black steles here to maintain the energy balance of the world and delay the heat death of the universe."

"I see, it's just to solve the problem of increasing entropy in the world, right?"

"That's right, the Magicians have set up a Human Sustainment Committee, the Commission on Preservable Humanity (CPH), to set up branches in each of the 26 Black Monuments, and the Magicians are usually appointed by the committee to deal with entropy increase accidents in various places."

It wasn't a fight against an evil dragon or something.

"But then again, what do you mean by dealing with entropy increase accidents?" He asked.

"Large-scale spells without permission, large-scale collection that leads to the depletion of the surface and core magic sources, unauthorized Heroic Spirit summoning," Su Meng frowned and paused at this point, and she continued, "and enemies from other dimensions, such as vampires in the castle, ghouls in the cemetery, demon kings, and all kinds of demonized monsters, etc."

"So," Wen Cheng nodded knowingly, "The large space-time spell that trapped us is also considered to have increased entropy, right?"

"Hmm," Su Meng lowered her voice and looked at the boy tentatively, "It's worse than you think."

"You say."

"Five years ago, the Mayan branch fell, and now it is under the control of alien beasts, and the surface is filled with intense nuclear radiation, and now it is an absolute place of death."

Wen Cheng took a deep breath and listened to the girl's words,

"At the beginning of this year, the Cairo branch fell, and all seven local magicians lost contact, as for the reason...... It's still under investigation."

"So, the situation is not optimistic......

"Hey, let's not talk about that," Su Meng shook his head and sighed, "The problem of Qiantang City alone is enough of a headache, aside from this space-time spell, there is no doubt that the current mechanical dog incident needs to be dealt with with with the highest priority."

Unexpectedly, what made Liu Zhen run back and forth was actually a matter of human survival, Wen Cheng nodded, sighed thoughtfully.

"Okay, Wen Cheng, I've explained my duties as a magician," Su Meng turned to a smile, "Let's tell you about the career path of a magician."

"Okay, you say."

Su Meng paused and said, "The level of the magic envoy is in order, apprentice, texturer, engraver, programmer, magician, magician, each level has nine ranks, and above this is the ten seats of the great magician and one seat of the phaseless magician."

There are only ten great magicians like Liu Zhen? There is only one Phaseless Magician?

Su Meng added, "There are ten research directions, namely fire, light, wind, water, ice, earth, wood, air, thunder, and darkness. After reaching the extreme in either direction, if the corresponding frequency band of the earth's core accepts you, then it is the corresponding Great Magician, and as for the Phaseless Magician, it is the title after penetrating the three core source frequency bands, and there will be an unrelated magic exclusively for him to drive."

The first few seem to be very easy to understand, according to Liu Zhen's red as always, it is not surprising that it is the great magic of Yanzhi, and Su Meng seems to be an empty spell, but what is the unrelated magic?

In contrast, let's take the road ahead first, even so, the current situation is still very urgent......

Su Meng looked at his lost face and said, "Wen Cheng, you don't have to worry, lay a good foundation step by step, although it was painful at first, but after breaking through the bottleneck, there will be rapid improvement."

"Okay," he asked, "and how do I begin to study and assess?"

"As a beginner, you can report to the Battle Mage Academy under the Committee......

"There's a mage academy?" Wen Cheng smiled happily.

Since it is a mage academy, it must be a towering castle, a spacious courtyard, bright windows, small bridges and flowing water, and teachers and students wearing black magic robes shuttling through the corridors, a peaceful and peaceful place.

"Uh......" Su Meng stretched out his hand and swung down, "It's said to be an academy, but it's actually a training class, and the classroom is even smaller than ours."

"That's ......," Wen Cheng lowered his eyelids.

Su Meng pursed his lips and smiled, "Actually, there aren't many people with magical talents, so the Battle Mage Academy is a small class."

"In addition," Su Meng paused and said, "In addition to Qian Tang, the headquarters of the Committee, there is also a branch of the Magic Association here, which specializes in classical elemental magic."

Wen Cheng took a sharp breath after hearing this.

"I probably understand, Su Meng," he gradually came back to his senses, "It seems that without further ado, start teaching me!"

"Hmm!" Su Meng nodded with bright eyes.

Fifteen hours have passed inside the barrier, and it is 4 p.m. outside the barrier.

"Bang! Syllable! Boom!"

Three magic bullets the size of tennis balls blasted the prism open with dazzling white light like cannonballs, and crystalline fragments drifted across the sky, as if they were in a snowfield.

Both the body and the arms are filled with heat, and although the head is dizzy, the circuits seem to be channeled more than expected.

The four streaks of light on the boy's arm dissipated, and the heat turned into a white smoke, which was slowly swept away by the turbulent air currents within the barrier.

"Wen Cheng," Su Meng said with a deep breath, "this...... It's impossible to ......."

"What can't be?" Wen Cheng looked back and smiled.

"According to your circuit qualifications, it is impossible to release double the magic bullet......

"Maybe it's overdrawn, haha." The boy touched the back of his neck, "To be honest, it's really a bit empty, I want to rest for a while."

"No, Wen Cheng, your progress speed is not like a beginner at all......

Not like a beginner?!! But you've just activated the loop?

Since it's in a space-time loop, unless......

"Ah! Su Meng, I remember!" Moon Seung showed joy, "Actually, I don't know why, I always feel that the feeling left last time is still ......."

"No......" Su Meng shook his head quickly, "I always feel that something is wrong......

"But," he sighed as he grabbed Su Meng's shoulder, "After all, Liu can really make 500 times."

He smiled wryly at the mottled golden light shining through the outer wall of the barrier, "Maybe she's right......

Su Meng looked up at the boy's silhouette with satisfaction and anticipation.

"Yes," Wen continued, "Su Meng, although I am a little tired, I have to help Liu Zhen as soon as possible, you go home first."
