"Plus!"

Master Zemmour took out another gold badge and smiled kindly like a wolf grandmother: "There is a badge of the [Venane Mage Guild] here, which is also a reward for you, because the sixty-four deacon members of the [Venane Mage Guild] are unanimously optimistic about your qualifications, talents, and potential, so they allow you, a Rank 1 mage, to join our organization, but whether or not to accept this reward depends on your own choice." ”

[Vennen Mage]? What is that? It sounds like a "club" or "sorority" run by some mage.

However, the sycamore, who was stunned by the benefits of a ** inauguration, has thought about it so much, why not take it if there is a reward? Wutong reached out and grabbed it without thinking about it: "Yes!" ”

"You've thought about it!?"

Master Zemmour's hand holding the gold badge shrank, dodging the claws that Sycamore came to grab: "Declare in advance, the benefits and obligations of becoming a member of the [Venane Mage Society], I will only tell you after you decide to join, but if you plan to join the [Venane Mage Society], then you must bear the annual membership fee of 1 million alchemy coins, and this membership fee will gradually increase as you increase your status level in the organization."

1,000,000 gold coins? What kind of "club" has such an expensive membership fee?

Wutong hesitated for a moment, but when he saw all the mysterious smiles on the faces of Master Zemmour and the large group of old men and old ladies around him, he gritted his teeth and grabbed the gold badge.

Isn't it just 1 million gold coins? We've got it!

The current profit of "Secret Law Store No. 44" can basically supply his needs, at most it will save a little in the future.

And the old man Zemmour, a guy who wants money, actually reminded him in this situation of collecting money, "Do you want it?" Isn't that his style? Besides, this membership qualification seems to be a reward, if you don't want it, wouldn't it be a big loss?

But when he grabbed the gold badge in his hand, his hair instantly exploded, and he felt as if something was wrong there!

Wutong, who felt that the heavy gold badge in his hand was a little hot, looked at this delicate, extremely pure alchemy cast twelve-pointed star-shaped badge in a cold sweat, and carved a very complex secret magic array diagram with micro-carving technology.

Wait!

This thing was minted [in alchemy]?

"Uh-that"

Wutong swallowed a mouthful of saliva carefully, staring at Master Zemmour, who was smiling more and more like the wolf grandmother who had caught Little Red Riding Hood: "Teacher, you just said that the membership fee is 1 million 'gold coins', right?" ”

Master Zemur nodded with a smile: "That's right, it's only 1 million 'alchemy coins' every year!" ”

"Is that the 'Alchemy Coin' that can be exchanged for 50 standard gold coins? Are you sure you're right? Sycamore began to feel the urge to smash the badge in his hand on the old mage's smiling old face.

"Of course, if you want to call it [Gold Essence Coins], [Elemental Gold Coins], [Aoneng Gold Coins] or whatever, it's only 1 million a year! Cheap, right!? ”

The old mage snapped his fingers suddenly, and an arcane aura sank into the badge in Wutong's hand at a lightning speed, and a tiny rune on the badge lit up.

Then, the old man added with a serious face: "In the name of the deacon of the [Venane Mage Association], I recognize the [1st Order Mage] Wutong and recommend him to join the [Venane Mage Association], from now on, the [1st Order Mage] Wutong will enjoy all the benefits provided by the organization and voluntarily undertake various obligations, please witness all the deacons present."

"Me"

Wutong had just opened his mouth halfway when the old mage's words made his jaw pop a "click", a sound that seemed to be a dislocated jaw.

The surrounding circle of old men and old ladies glanced sympathetically at the petrified Wutong with their mouths open, and also released the arcane aura representing their identity, leaving a mark of recognition on the gold essence badge in Wutong's hand.

"Every member of the [Venane Mage's] membership requires the approval of more than 12 members, and you are the only member who has been unanimously approved by the sixty-four directors!" The old man didn't seem to think that the exciting sycamore was not enough, and he smiled and said, "Thank me!" Expression.

Wutong's jaw finally reset in a "rattle" sound, but immediately there was a grinding sound of gnashing teeth: "No money!" ”

"It's okay! Never mind! ”

The old man smiled and said, "You can pay it monthly, or you only need 'a little' interest on credit." "Pay it in monthly installments, that's also a monthly membership fee of more than four million gold coins!

Moreover, I can understand what you mean by this: Am I not afraid that you will be repaid? Wutong remembered with tears in his eyes, he had seen in that book, and there was a famous quote about the mage, and there was this sentence:

Mage is the only class that has more to worry about debt collection than the devil who buys and sells souls! Because even the most stingy devil can't get a copper horn out of the mage's hands!

A large group of old men and old ladies turned around one after another when they couldn't stand it anymore, and biu~biu~biu~ went back to their mage towers, just to witness a first-order little mage join the organization, as for gathering all the deacon members?

This old and young are the most unreliable masters and apprentices they have ever seen, the teacher is super capable of making trouble, and the disciple is super capable of causing trouble.

"That's it! All right! Don't be too happy! ”

The old man patted his tearful disciple on the shoulder with relief: "I'll tell you about the benefits and obligations of the [Venaen Venerable Society]. ”

Wutong almost couldn't hold back scolding her mother, do you think I look happy? Fifty million gold coins! You think it's 5,000 bad copper coins?

"Become a member of the [Venane Mage Society], and every time your membership level increases, you will be able to receive special rewards from the organization, as long as you want, rare spells, rare feats, additional potentials, additional skills, additional language abilities, including enhanced spell casting ability, which can be directly granted to you through special soul crystals."

Master Zemur comforted Wutong with a smile: "But these are nothing, just the benefits brought by the organization, as long as you join the [Venane Mage Guild], you can borrow the mage tower, laboratory, library, and their private collection of any member of the organization at will, of course, there is a price!"

But in the same way, you must also open up your research, props, mage towers, labs, libraries, and private collections to all members for a fee, if you have them and are willing to lend them to them! The organization advocates equivalent exchange. ”

The old man said mysteriously to Wutong: "These are just the benefits and obligations of the organization, you can also use your badge to contact all members of the organization at any time, share information and information, publish and receive tasks, sell and buy what you need, rent out your spell book or a rare spell on your spell book for research, and of course you can also rent someone else's." ”

Wutong was stunned when he heard it, the badge still has this function? Isn't this equivalent to an instant messaging system + virtual shopping platform + virtual task release system +?

"Of course, these are not the biggest benefits of joining [the Venane Mage Society]!"

The old mage triumphantly looked like an insurance salesman: "The biggest advantage of the organization is that you can borrow the common [energy pool] and [soul energy pool] of the members of the organization, for example, when you encounter a critical combat situation, you need to temporarily call up a huge amount of energy points!"

As long as you're wearing a badge, you can use it to draw energy from other members! Of course, you need to return it afterwards!

The same goes for the [Soul Energy Pool], when you need to consume a large amount of Soul Energy to do something, you can borrow the Soul Energy stored in the public [Soul Energy Pool] by the members of the organization in advance, and then return it afterwards. ”

I have to say,The old mage is a lame salesman,Wutong couldn't understand his explanation for half a day,His so-called public [energy pool]、[Soul energy pool],It seems to be equivalent to a "bank"Something,When needed, you can use the badge,Extract the energy value and soul energy in the "pool" to point out and use,It's just that according to the different status levels,There is a certain limit on the amount.,If it's not enough, you can "overdraft".,It's just that the repayment amount is relatively high.。

"Isn't this equivalent to infinite energy and soul energy points?" Sycamore didn't get it figured out.

"That's pretty much what you can say." The old mage stroked his beard and said very irresponsibly.

Wutong was a little entangled, unable to judge whether it was cost-effective to exchange the price of 50 million gold coins per year for the right to use an unlimited energy pool and soul energy pool, but after thinking about it, he still felt that theoretically he would not lose, after all, he couldn't estimate how much benefit it would be to the future development of having the backstage of the [Venane Mage Society].

A year in the game is equivalent to four months in reality, and with his current ability to earn money, if he doesn't consider other expenses, he should be able to earn it, right? Yes, right? It should be there, right?

The profit of Wutong's "No. 44 Secret Law Store" is estimated to be not enough to fill it all in As soon as I thought of this, Wutong, who finally got out of poverty, couldn't help but burst into tears, the mage is really a pit father's profession, even if it used to be, at most it was poor, and as soon as he took office, the old man gave him such a "big gift", no matter how much he earned, it was not enough to spend!

As the saying goes, if there are more lice, it will not itch, and if there are more debts, there will be no worries!

Anyway, the wood has been completed, and Wutong no longer feels sorry for the fifty million, but focuses on sorting out his own caste status, leaving the old mage still chattering proudly: "As my Zemur's disciple, I allow you to use the facilities of this Endless Tower, as long as you can obtain the approval of this Endless Tower, you may even inherit the right to use this Endless Tower from my hands in the future!" Yes! That's right! Also, forgot to give you this! ”

The old man seemed to be in a very happy mood, and he didn't care that Sycamore ignored him, and happily rummaged through the large, but messy test bench like a garbage heap, found an item, and handed it to Sycamore.

And Wutong, who was originally checking his surname status, suddenly came back to his senses, and subconsciously took the items handed over by the old mage, and said suspiciously: "What did you just say?" ”

The old man was stunned: "I said, I forgot to give you this, [Common System] Tier 1 Spell Book"

"Not that! The previous sentence! ”

Wutong casually flipped through this small book with a delicate copper shell that was only the size of a palm, and it was the same: "Intelligence +2, Focus +2, [Common System] Spell Power +2, [Common System] Spell Resistance Surname +2;", which recorded the first-order spells of the General School, but only a pitiful one:

[Pet Pocket]: Clothing or containers create extra space to safely accommodate your pet.

This spell is of little use to Wutong for the time being, although he has already obtained the mage's exclusive [summoning magic pet] specialty, but because only after taking office, can he obtain the magic pet through a special summoning ceremony under the guidance of the mentor, so there has been no magic pet, and this spell can only come in handy after he summons the magic pet.

"The previous one?"

The old mage thought about it for a long time before he remembered, "Oh, I said, as my disciple, I allow you to use the facilities of this Endless Tower. ”

"That's not it! The latter sentence! ”

"Gain the approval of the Infinity Tower and inherit this Infinity Tower?"

The old mage was confused by the sycamore, and only when he said this did he understand, and said with a smile: "You greedy boy! Are you now coveting the inheritance of the Infinity Tower? What a disciple of my Zemur! But whether you can inherit the Infinity Tower, I said it doesn't count, it depends on whether you have that ability, you don't know the origin of the Infinity Tower? ”。

Wutong looked at the old mage with an innocent face: "Have you explained to me about the Endless Tower?" The old mage thought about it, it seems that there really isn't, they haven't met a few times in total.

"Alright! Since you asked, I'll tell you about it."

The old mage snapped his fingers, a chair appeared behind him, he sat down comfortably, waved his hand, a cup of hot milk tea appeared in his hand, took a beautiful sip, and then said, "You should remember what I told you about the "Pan-Kovarare Continent United Academy Trial Competition", right?" ”

"The Chief War, which will be held in half a year?" Sycamore, of course, does not forget that as soon as he joined the Wiener Academy, he was "decided" to participate, and he was going to compete in eight events alone.

"Yes! To be precise, this chief war is the war organized by the Academies and Spellcasters of the Kingdoms on the Kovarray continent to determine the ownership of the Infinity Tower! ”

The old man showed a rare serious expression: "You may think that the Duchy of Andel seems to be very peaceful and stable, but in fact, this is just a manifestation that ordinary people can see, and the dark tide between the kingdoms on the Kovare continent has never stopped."

"The appearance of so-called 'peace' is only on the table because of the Throne Agreement"

The old mage paused for a moment and gently lowered the teacup in his hand: "Maybe it's too early to tell you about these things, but since you have become our Venane Academy, the candidate for the next "Chief War", it would be better for you to understand these things earlier." ”

His old fingers, tapping lightly on the armrests of the wooden chair made of logs, seemed to recall and organize his thoughts: "To be precise, since the kingdoms signed the Treaty of Crown Security [in the New Throne Castle], there has been no word 'peace' on the continent of Kovare."

Wutong had worked hard and studied the history of the Kovarare Continent, but he knew what the old mage was talking about, but he didn't understand what these histories had to do with the "Chief War" he was going to participate in, and this seemingly very powerful Endless Tower, so he could only listen patiently.

As mentioned earlier: (See Chapter 363 for a further reference, or the Kovalé Chronicles for this article.) It wasn't until more than 3,000 years ago (-3000) that humans officially landed in Kovaré and became a member of the Kovarare continent, which is only more than 5,000 years old (+2012).

More than 3,000 years ago, the Kovarare continent still belonged to some indigenous races, such as goblins, the territory ruled by the human landing, after the humans landed in Kovare, the [Kovaré calendar] was officially used as the calendar year, and it took hundreds of years to build the five human kingdoms (Adele, Brulan, Kannas, Seren, and Cell) called [Five States] in later generations.

(Above: between [Kovaré Calendar - 3000] and [Kovaré Calendar - 2500]) These five human states, in the course of hundreds of years of expansion, have allowed human footprints to set foot on the entire Kovarare Continent, seriously squeezing the living space of the indigenous races such as goblins, orcs, barbarians, dwarves, and elves who have long settled on the Kovarare Continent, resulting in the outbreak of a tragic war known as the [War of the Races] in later generations.

In order to resist a large number of aboriginal races, the original five states then united to form the [Galifa Empire], and after hundreds of years of [war of tribes], they finally defeated the aboriginal race, and incorporated the entire Kovaré continent from the [Sea of Suffering] in the north, the [Storm Sea] in the south, the [Barren Sea] in the west, and the [Lazar Sea] in the east into the territory of the [Galifa Empire], successfully unifying the tribes.

However, after less than a thousand years of peace and tranquility, the Galifa Empire, which had been united to defend against the indigenous races, broke out again in a period of darkness that lasted for thousands of years and engulfed many races, and this period is known as the "Twilight Years".

Eventually, the original five states of the [Galifa Empire] signed the Throne Agreement at the Throne Fortress, officially re-dividing into the Five Kingdoms of Mankind and using the new [Dawning Calendar] as the calendar year.

However, the [Dawn Calendar] that the people who had been devastated by the war did not bring light to the Kovarare continent, but because of the division of the five major states, the original subjugated indigenous race of Kovare re-emerged, and once again unfolded a terrible disaster that was called the [End War] for nearly a thousand years.

The Last War, which lasted for nearly ten centuries, was finally ended by the unanimous signing of the Treaty of Crown Guarantee between the twelve stable states of the New Throne Castle, and these various countries and regions formed the current continent of Kovare.

"And in the midst of all these years of war, twelve no! Thirteen [Endless Towers] have been discovered by the nations in uninhabited areas! ”
