Chapter 13: The Alliance of Spellcasters
Now that things about the manor had progressed to the point where they were, Aine didn't bother anymore.
Looking at the sky, I felt that it was still early. Aine walked straight in the direction of the temple area.
At the junction of the temple district and the administrative district is the location of the Northwest Province Spellcaster Alliance.
Unlike in the game world, there is no such thing as a mage guild in this real world. Spellcasters from all over the world met and formed a very loose alliance of spellcasters.
Of course, there are still tight-knit mage organizations like the Tower. However, compared to the Alliance of Spellcasters, becoming a mage of a certain organization often loses a certain amount of freedom.
In fact, the original intention of the spellcaster associations established in various places was to promote exchanges between spellcasters. You must know that not only mages, but also warlocks who rely on bloodlines to obtain spell-casting abilities can also be regarded as a kind of spellcaster. Of course, the concept of a spellcaster also includes bards who have learned to manipulate magical energy and use some spells.
These three groups of people have different trade-offs for materials, potions, scrolls, and magic items. Sometimes, a bottle of blood of a powerful wurm race is just a bottle of alchemy or enchantment raw materials for mages, but for some warlocks, it is an important item that can improve their bloodline ability.
Each takes what he needs and communicates on an equal footing, which is the original intention of the emergence and establishment of the Spellcaster Alliance. With the development of the times, the Spellcaster Alliance has slowly changed from a spontaneous organization to a semi-official existence.
Wealthy nobles can hire a number of casters who are in dire need of gold to serve them without going against the caster's wishes; The adventurer team can buy some potion scrolls and magic items in the alliance to improve their strength; When a city or country is in danger, mages registered with the Alliance are obligated to provide help in their own way.
……
Unlike City Hall, there are no guards standing in front of the main Union building. As the main building of the Alliance, this is only a place for spellcasters to communicate, and non-casters will go to the auxiliary building to deal with their demands.
Therefore, there is always a ring of arcane sensitivity in front of the main building, and there is also a constant ring of secondary wind creation techniques. If the person does not pass the arcane sensitivity verification of the caster's identity, the effect of the secondary wind creation spell will be automatically triggered, and the person will be pushed out of the alliance gate.
Naturally, although Aine is only connected to the first layer of the magic net, even if he is only an apprentice who has just come into contact with the trick, he can be regarded as a spellcaster. However, in order to pass this arcane sensitive test, it is necessary to be able to stably connect to the first layer of the magic web.
In other words, today is the first time Ain has entered the main building of the Spellcaster Alliance.
The main purpose of Ain's coming to the Spellcaster Alliance today is to officially register his status as a mage. I also wanted to see if I could find a few books on the school of prophecy.
If Aine doesn't have a few gold coins in his hand right now, there are countless memories stored in both his memories and the bookshelf behind the door in his spiritual sea. Maybe these things are nothing in the previous life game, but in the real world where Ain is now, most of the things in his memory will cause madness.
It's a pity that so many of the super-magic skills that Aine learned in his previous life, whether they were obtained from upgrades, quests, or accidents, were not reflected after coming to this world. That is to say, if Aine wants to learn super magic expertise in this world, he needs to study and risk to obtain it. Unlike in the game, you can directly point to some super magic specialties such as "spell power", "spell exemption" and so on.
"Welcome, new Mr. One Ring Mage." An earth golem greeted Ain as he entered the hall of the Spellcaster's Guild.
Aine glanced at this earth golem a little, and found that the constant spells on this earth golem's body, if you count them carefully, it is far more than a hand.
However, for an organization like the Spellcaster Alliance, which is a pure caster, this kind of low-level golem and several low-level spells on it are not difficult and expensive at all.
"If you need to register, go to the left-hand side." Through the constant "reading magic" on his body, the Earth Golem found that Ain did not wear the mark of the Spellcaster Alliance, and judged that Ain should be a newcomer who had not yet joined the Alliance, so he gave guidance to Ain on how to register.
Ain nodded, raised his hand slightly, and his lips moved slightly.
If you read the lips, you can see that Ain said "Got it, thanks". Through the teleportation technique, Al Aine conveyed his message to the Earth Golem.
Since the people who can get here are all spellcasters with at least one ring of attainment, then the Earth Golem does not have the function of additional hearing, if there is anything that needs to be commanded by the Earth Golem, it can be conveyed directly through the teleportation technique.
The Earth Golem, who had received Ain's summons, immediately turned and retreated, and Ain followed the Earth Golem's guidance to the hall on the left.
"Good day, Master Mage." Seeing Aine coming to the hall on the left, a young man dressed as a waiter greeted him.
"It's also a bit of a mage potential......" Aine glanced at the young man and thought silently.
"Good day, what do I need to do to register to join the alliance?" The thought just now was only a flash of thought, and it didn't take long for Ain to answer the young man.
"Master Mage, I am Mike, the waiter of the Alliance, and I am honored to register you." The young waiter saluted, turned and took a form, handing it to Ain.
Ain nodded in acknowledgement, then took the form.
The design of the form is very simple, with only a few items: name, pseudonym, class, and arcane attainments and directions. The direction of expertise or the non-arcane direction of proficiency is written, that is, this registration form is basically very respectful to the ** of every caster who joins the Spellcaster Alliance.
For example, each mage's forbidden school is basically a relatively private matter. Although because you can't use the arcane of the forbidden school, you can't hide your forbidden school all the time. However, for someone who doesn't know a mage very well, it's hard to know what a mage's true forbidden school is without investigating with familiar people.
The same is true for warlocks. The bloodline power of each warlock is also different, but this bloodline power will be more superficial, and it will not be obscured or concealed like the forbidden school of mages. But again, you'll have to look to someone who knows the warlock to come to a conclusion.
Taking the quill from the waiter named Mike, Aine dipped it in ink and quickly filled out the form.
"Master Mage, do you need to confirm your strength now, you only need ten gold coins to get the recognized proof of strength and the general alliance badge of the entire Rether Kingdom. After obtaining the Alliance Badge, you can easily participate in the communication of the caster. Mike took the form that Ain had filled out, looked at it for a while, and asked Ain if he arrived.
Ain nodded, and pulled out ten gold coins from the space bag, and handed five silver coins to Mike.
"Thank you, Master Mage." The young man immediately understood what Aine meant, and the extra five silver coins were naturally his own tip.
As for the whole identification process, it was very simple, a mage with at least three rings just raised his hand to release an arcane sensitivity, and directly determined Ain's arcane attainments.
After receiving the certificate and badge, Ain threw the certificate into the space bag without looking at the certificate, and this badge was a little interesting, and Ain looked at it a few more times before putting it on the mage robe.
