062 Unreasonably high difficulty-2

In the world of Endless, a very old culture is used, and students who want to gain knowledge from their teachers must serve their teachers and serve them for a long time, and this custom is particularly serious in the system of spellcasters.

Because in the official game information, it was mentioned that mages are more noble than nobles, and in the world of "Endless", mages have a transcendent status, once they become mages, even if they are just an insignificant low-level mage, or even just an apprentice, they will immediately have the noble title issued by the empire.

And this kind of title will also automatically increase with the increase of your caster level, with all the rights of the nobles, fiefs and other rights and interests, enjoy the benefits and salaries issued by the empire, and can harvest the taxes in their fiefs without paying taxes, but do not need to bear any responsibilities and obligations that the nobles need to perform, which is equivalent to a nobler class.

Therefore, the casters are extremely strict and strict in selecting apprentices, and even make it difficult to test the apprentices, plus the secret method is mysterious and esoteric knowledge, and the price to pay to master this knowledge is extremely expensive and heavy.

A student who becomes a full-fledged mage not only has to pay expensive tuition fees to the teacher, but also serves the teacher as a servant, and even has to fulfill any of the teacher's requirements like a slave.

The resources required by the caster in the process of learning the mystical method are so large that even the empire cannot afford it, which has caused the mages who are incomparably wealthy in the eyes of outsiders to be often poor and clang, which has slowly formed the strange custom that apprentices must pay a lot of wealth to their teachers.

However, these cultural backgrounds are certainly interesting if you look at them only as the historical story of the game, but the official "Endless" is really applied to the game settings, which undoubtedly pushes players into a desperate situation.

It is conceivable that the various difficult settings in "Endless" that go against the player's game habits will face strong criticism and condemnation as shocking as a tsunami if they are not changed.

“．．． In addition, even if you do become my apprentice, the preferential price you enjoy is not free, you need to come and serve me for two hours a day for free, do some simple work for me, and perform some tasks that I have given you..."

Without waiting for Sycamore to pull out the Eternal Wand and stab the gushing old mage in front of him, the old mage stabbed him first: "Of course, since you have been tested by me to confirm that you do have the talent to become a spellcaster, this does not mean that you can learn spells from me immediately, because you must first prepare a spell book for transcribing spells..."

Saying that, the old mage didn't know where to find a brand-new spell book the size of a thumb and a palm, shook it at Wutong with a smile, and put it in front of him: "Of course, you can also get an apprentice's spell book directly from me, but it also requires an additional fee, 150 silver coins." ”

In Wutong's heart, the kind old mage in front of him has turned into a black-hearted merchant with horns on his head and an arrow tail behind his buttocks, and he is very speechless and plans to leave with little Lori, Nima This is not a price that novices can afford at all!

Wutong, who made up his mind and went to the official virtual community to complain after a while, would never have imagined that even if he went to complain, he would not be able to join the team at this time, because there have been countless players who have already blown up the official virtual community of "Endless"! It's all protesting against the unreasonable difficulty of the super high level of "Endless" in the novice period.

"As your initiation teacher, and a very gifted apprentice, I can allow you to pay for your spell learning on credit, which you can pay off by working for me, or as long as you pay it off before you finish the trial and leave here, but..."

The old mage said regretfully: "According to the habit of spellcasters, the first spell book you have must be prepared by yourself, so when you have a spell book of your own, or have saved enough money to buy a probationary spell book from me, come back to me..."

Prepare a spell book yourself? Sycamore remembered that the blank spell books that could be bought in the store, the cheapest kind, the super thick and heavy spell books bound in rough parchment, seemed to cost 15 gold coins a piece, right? It's better to buy a probationary spell book from the old mage now, at least for 150 silver coins.

Wutong, who didn't even have 5 silver coins on his body, could only stand up regretfully, ready to leave with Xiao Lori, although the cost of learning knowledge for clergy is far less terrifying than that of the clergy, but it is definitely not a small amount, at present, even the cheapest tuition of the fighters can have skills, and they are all elite core members of some player teams who have raised funds.

150 silver coins, equivalent to 15,000 copper coins, Sycamore estimates that he will get tomorrow morning, and it will be possible to make up enough of the pile of toad corpses, compared with other players, he can still be ahead of a lot of people who have mastered spells, so if you think about it, in fact, this difficulty is not only not a difficulty for Sycamore, but an advantage!

Wutong, who felt that it was not bad for such a night, just got up, paused, then sat down again, and said with a strange face: "Teacher Belial, you mean, as long as I have a spell book myself, even if it is a spell book for apprenticeship, I can learn two level 0 spells from you on credit first, right?" ”

The old mage nodded a little surprised: "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, you should still be just a level 0 apprentice now, but because your talent is very good, I can consider teaching you one more spell in addition to the two basic spells of [Reading] and [Copying] that level 0 mages must learn first, as long as you can prepare a spell book by yourself first..."

Before he could finish his words, Sycamore took out a apprenticeship spell book from his pocket and placed it in front of him, it was the "Belial's apprenticeship book [quest item]"!

Runtag. Old Master Beria was stunned when he saw this "Berial's apprenticeship book", and then looked up at Wutong in great surprise: "It's incredible! Apprentice! Where did you get this apprenticeship? ”
