Is there anything more frustrating and maddening than being pressed on the head by a non-professional who is not a mage?

The answer is yes.

The students of Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the young Naga mages soon discovered this.

It all started with a statement published on the official website of the Naga Kingdom Mage Alliance.

Talos, a 17-year-old former mage, has invented a first-order spell that works so well that it can rank in the top twenty even in the history of the Naga Kingdom.

Coupled with his recent misadventures on the battlefield of Strasbourg, the whole thing is a little more tortuous and unusual, and if it can be a little more bizarre, maybe it can be crowned with words such as "legendary" and enter the attention of the bard.

In the sixth hour after the announcement of the Eternal Tides, the discussion on the magic web about infrared detection technology did not stop, but intensified, with appreciation, admiration, regret, jealousy, and of course, suspicion.

The style of Eternal Tide has always been very cold, ignoring everything on the magic web, and the young mages have never expected an explanation from the highest magic organization of the Naga Kingdom.

As an organization under the jurisdiction of the Eternal Tide, the Mage Alliance is much closer to the people, and after noticing such a huge amount of discussion and confusion on the magic network, it immediately issued a statement very intimately.

The content of the statement is simple, and after removing the ornamental rhetoric and official rhetoric, there are two pieces of news.

First, Mr. Talos Nepton's spell patent application commitment was made in the form of a divine contract.

While many Naga mages have a magical disdain for gods in their hearts, believing that gods are nothing more than powerful creatures – a dominant view in the ancient Arcane Empire – they have to admit that in the realm of contracts, the gods of order and knighthood are indeed the ones who can 100% guarantee the authenticity and execution of contracts.

In other words, Talos is indeed the inventor of infrared detection, and it is absolutely true.

Second, at the request of Mr. Talos himself, the patent for infrared detection, a first-order spell, was granted for a period of one year.

If the first news brought shock and jealousy to the Naga mages, then the second news was confusion and incomprehension.

According to the latest version of the Personal Spell Patent Law, the duration of protection of spell patents should be ten years.

After all, it is an important way to turn knowledge into wealth and power, and they have seen too many Naga mages submit bills to the Eternal Tides and the Kingdom Council through various means to extend the protection of spell patents, so that they can collect more patent fees while researching - experimental research is always the most expensive to burn, no matter what the project.

In cases like today's initiative to reduce the time of patents, frankly, they would have thought that Talos was crazy the moment they first saw the announcement.

Who can refuse gold and fame?

"Talos is the youngest son of the Black Sea Lord and the heir to House Nepton, so maybe he doesn't like the money at all?" eventually, a young Naga mage guessed.

This is precisely what makes many students and young Naga teachers unwilling.

Although they had removed Talos from their circle as mages, no one knew better than them that it was just a self-deception, a cover-up, as if they couldn't see Talos and they could be better, but it wasn't.

What about the shattered meditation space, as the youngest son of the Lord of the Black Sea, to put it mildly, even if most of the Naga mages who participated in the discussion worked hard for another thirty or fifty years, the material conditions and living standards might not be able to catch up with what Talos enjoyed today.

He has such a talent, he doesn't need such a family background, he has such a family background, why does he need such a talent!

That's the reality.

As if disgusted that they had not been stimulated enough today, Linde Nepton, the spokesperson of the Black Sea Evelyn Palace that afternoon, announced a message in an inexplicably proud tone in the eyes of everyone:

"Considering the high utility of infrared detection and the relatively simple structure of the spell model, if there are no accidents, Talos's infrared detection will be selected as a standard textbook at Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry next year, and will become a spell in the Standard Spells for Seventh Grade. ”

"Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, standard textbooks, teaching spells, Goddess of the Sea!" Many students of Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry looked dark, and now they really became shadows.

It's no wonder that the Nepton family chose to charge only one year for the spell patent, which was originally selected as a standard textbook at Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and has since become a mandatory spell for tens of thousands of students.

What is the concept of being selected as the standard textbook of Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?

It means that this spell and this spell have been recognized by the kingdom's educational institutions, and are labeled as "classic", "practical", and "compulsory", and have the value of being passed down from generation to generation;

This means that every year, a bronze first-order mage who has just opened the meditation space and entered the seventh grade, and is full of expectations for magic and the path of mages, will desperately recite the incantations of infrared detection, learn spell casting gestures, and analyze spell models;

This means that in another twenty years, almost all Naga mages who have graduated from Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will know that they have a genius alumnus who was once a brilliant mage and later turned to a bloodline knight.

More importantly, it means that the name Talos Neptune will be known to future generations (not only Naga, but also humans, elves, and other intelligent beings) along with infrared detection, just like the Sky Punch of Jartins, a fourth-order spell invented by a legendary human mage that has become the common wealth of the entire Sainz spellcaster over time.

I don't know how long it has been, but a student of Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry sighed in a complicated tone: "It would be nice if Talos's meditation space hadn't been shattered, he was so young, so talented......"

Now, they are no longer jealous, and the distance is turning little by little into admiration and adoration.

"Damn mermaid necromancer Lydia!"

In a sigh of regret, only Talos's cousin, Moritz, had a strange expression.

He had already received the news in advance from his mother, Florence, but the moment the Evelyn spokesman announced the news, his mind turned uncontrollably in another strange direction.

Considering the fact that Talos unfortunately "died young" and his status as a knight of the bloodline, Moritz can almost imagine that in the future, "historical anecdotes", "celebrity anecdotes", "arcane secrets" and other columns will inevitably be indispensable for the artistic reprocessing of Talos, and maybe his descendants will one day listen to Talos's story while learning how to successfully unleash a standard infrared detection technique.

The thought of this made him feel his teeth more sore.
