Chapter 252: Imperial Academy of Magic

In Wuxing, Shilan City is a small city, Tianlan City is a medium-sized city, and the scale gap between the two is more than ten times, whether it is in terms of land area or permanent population, and in terms of material circulation and wealth, Shilan City of small cities is incomparable.

There are a total of two magic academies in Tianlan City, which are called the Imperial Magic Academy and the Divine Cult Magic Academy. Listening to the name, you will know that the Imperial Magic Academy was founded by the Gulan Empire in order to cultivate talents for the empire, and the Divine Cult Magic Academy was founded by the Divine Cult, which is the largest organization in Wuxing, although the Divine Cult is not a country, but in fact, the four major empires of Wuxing are all actually controlled by the Divine Cult.

The Divine Cult Magic Academy has absorbed almost more than eighty percent of the talents of the Guran Empire, and these talents who graduated from the Divine Cult Magic Academy can only work for the Divine Cult in the future, and this alone can be seen that the Divine Cult has a firm control over the Guran Empire, and the Imperial Magic Academy can only drink the soup left by others.

"Which of these two magic academies is the best?" Ji Xiu asked.

"Naturally, it is the Divine Cult Magic Academy, which is superior to the Imperial Magic Academy in terms of scale, historical precipitation, teaching ability, and other aspects. Old man An quickly replied.

"Well, that's good. Then let's go to the Cult of Magic. Ji Xiu's words brought everyone to the central area of Tianlan City, and the huge Divine Cult Magic Academy was located here, and the quaint and majestic building complex could actually exude a divine aura, which could not help but make everyone who was close to it become gentle.

Hongze always felt that the atmosphere here was very unusual, as long as he was close to here, Hongze did not dare to speak loudly, and became soft, for fear that the louder voice would disturb others. Hongze said: "There are a lot of people around here, but they speak so quietly. ”

Yueguang Cheng also sensed something abnormal, as long as he was close to the Divine Sect Magic Academy, the resentment towards Ji Xiu in his heart would be suppressed inexplicably. In the depths of the snowfield before, Ji Xiu caused Yueguang Cheng to be kidnapped by the thick roots of the water pipe, resulting in serious injuries, and even fell into the hands of Zhong Lao Devil, and was fed demon meat by Zhong Lao Devil, which almost caused Yueguang Cheng to fall into the devil, and it was difficult for Yueguang Cheng to forgive Ji Xiu for this matter.

"What are they doing?" Ji Xiu pointed to the group of people surrounding the gate of the Divine Cult Magic Academy.

Old man An just glanced at it from afar, and said, "It's a check of faith." ”

"Check faith, faith can still be checked?" Ji Xiu said puzzled.

"It is to check the records of the pilgrimage, these documents record how many times each person has visited the temple, and each visit will be recorded, and the more times they visit, the higher the natural faith. Old man An explained.

"......" Ji Xiu touched his head and said: "Strange rules, I haven't heard of this kind of play in Tangram." ”

Yueguang Cheng asked, "We don't have a record file of our visit, how can we enroll in the Divine Cult Magic Academy?" ”

Old man An was very cautious at this time, and said in a low voice: "You can buy it with money, as long as you can afford it, you can have a record of visiting the shrine from the day you were born, and it is a lifetime of visiting the shrine without absence." ”

"......" Ji Xiu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Just born? You mean a newborn baby? How can a newborn baby know how to go to the temple to worship?"

"Naturally, it is brought by the parents, as long as the newborn baby is brought by the parents to the temple to worship, there will be a record of the first visit, and then once a day, the record can be increased, this is the faith, depending on the number of visits to determine the high or low of the faith. Old man An explained, Old man An felt very strange, aren't these things known to everyone, why do these people seem to not know.

Ji Xiu suddenly realized and said, "Isn't it true that the longer you live, the higher your faith will be?"

"Of course. Old man An replied.

Sheng Qingqing hugged Ji Xiu's left arm, pulled Ji Xiu and said, "Let's go, let's go buy the pilgrimage record file." "When it comes to buying things, Sheng Qingqing is very energetic.

"Huh?" Old man An waved his hand again and again, "The Divine Sect Magic Academy does not admit women, even if you buy a record file of worship, it is useless." ”

"What!" Sheng Qingqing roared, "What age are you still so discriminatory against women?"

"......" Old man An can't understand, he can't understand what Sheng Qingqing is talking about at all, what era and era, hasn't it always been like this.

Ji Xiu turned around and left, and said at the same time: "Let's go, let's go to the Imperial Academy of Magic." ”

Coming to the Imperial Magic Academy in the eastern district of Tianlan City, the number of people here is more than half less than that of the Divine Cult Magic Academy, and the Imperial Magic Academy's area is only half of that of the Divine Magic Academy, and the number of students it can recruit is even more pitiful.

Ji Xiu asked with a calm face, "Are there any strange rules here?"

"Nope. Old man An said: "In order to recruit students, the Imperial Academy of Magic is willing to accept almost anyone who wants to enroll, as long as they can afford to pay the tuition. ”

"Well, that's good. Ji Xiu asked, "How much is the tuition?"

"A hundred gold coins a year. Old man An replied.

"Is this tuition very expensive, why don't you see a few people here?" Ji Xiu said.

Old man An is completely convinced of Ji Xiu now, ordinary people save ten gold coins a year, and the tuition fee here is one hundred gold coins a year, this income level and consumption level are simply incomparable, except for a few big nobles and businessmen who can afford it, commoners will never dare to think of sending their children here to learn magic.

"For the rich, it is naturally not expensive. Old man An said this very standardly, and invisibly patted Ji Xiu's sycophant, saying that Ji Xiu was a rich man.

"Alright then, let's go sign up for the Imperial Academy of Magic. Ji Xiu finished speaking and pointed to the gate of the Imperial Academy of Magic.

Who knows, just approaching the gate of the Imperial Academy of Magic, Ji Xiu suddenly turned around and left, Sheng Qingqing hurriedly grabbed Ji Xiu and asked, "Ji Xiu, where are you going, aren't you going to sign up for the Academy of Magic?"

Ji Xiu ignored Sheng Qingqing, turned to Old Man An and asked, "Is this an elementary school, a junior high school, a high school, or a university for the elderly?"

Old man An was asked stupidly, he didn't understand what elementary school was, nor did he understand what junior high school or high school was, and he had never heard of any university for the elderly.

Yueguang Cheng understood what Ji Xiu meant, so he said: "Why is the Imperial Academy of Magic, all children from a few years old to teenagers, and an old man in his eighties. ”

"Isn't that strange? Old man An said: "As long as you can afford a hundred gold coins a year, anyone can go in and study, and there is no age limit." ”

"Isn't there anyone about my age, in his early twenties? Ji Xiu asked.

"Yes. After thinking for a while, Old Man An said, "It is estimated that there are four or five students in their twenties a year, and most of them are children from a few years old to a teenager. ”

Ji Xiu was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm in my twenties, and I'm going to study with elementary school students today?"

Old man An asked, "What is a primary school student?"

"That's what it means to be a child. Yueguang Cheng added.

"Isn't that normal?" said Old Man An.

"Well, yes, not normal at all. Ji Xiu said: "You all wait for me here, I'll go and go back." ”

Fifteen minutes later, Ji Xiu came back and brought back a group of people, at least more than 100 people, all of them in their twenties, half men and half women. The group of people brought back by Ji Xiu were all dressed in tattered clothes, their whole bodies were dirty, and they also emitted a bad smell.

Old man An was surprised: "Why did you buy so many slaves?"

"It's so cheap, one person only needs one gold coin. Ji Xiu said.

"Are they slaves?" Moonlight frowned.

"I've searched all sorts of malls, big and small, and I've never tried to buy people. Sheng Qingqing said.

"Senior Ji Xiu, don't you want to ......" Hongze swallowed back his words halfway through.

"Well, yes, I'll pay for the tuition, and I'll ask them to go to school. Ji Xiu finished and threw off his robe.

"......" everyone was silent.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xiu said, "Didn't you say that as long as you have money, anyone can enter the Imperial Academy of Magic to study magic?"

Yueguang Cheng understood Ji Xiu's intentions, there are a lot of young students in the Imperial Academy of Magic, so it is very similar to an elementary school, so simply get hundreds of adults into it as students, and it will change from elementary school to university in an instant.
