The meeting ended quickly.

As Stephen left the observatory, the Winter Witch smiled meaningfully at him, the other party had done what he had promised, so it was time for Stephen to do what he had to do.

In contrast, Liana Witch was much more aggressive, following Stephen with a look of asking for merit and reward, and her smug little expression was very straightforward and said Praise me, thank me. The news that Stephen will become the chief wizard of the astrological observatory has not yet spread, but it has been heard in the high-level wizard circles at the core of the Five Rings Tower. The strength of the wizards of the Observatory is the slower, probably slower than the Botanical Garden, there are no legendary wizards in the Observatory at present, the only one is the Outsider Insight - Akasha, she is definitely impossible to become the chief wizard of the Observatory, so it is a bit natural for Stephen to take over this position.

Although the Five Rings Tower is relatively enlightened, there are still many conservative wizards inside.

Master Void and his entourage set off in the afternoon.

Stephen specially went over to see him off, the number of people on this trip was not very large, there were five people on the Void Master's side, three from the Crow's Nest, and twelve people from the Astrological Observatory, but the only ones who would really act together were the Insight - Akasha and the other two high-level wizards, and the other wizards from the Astrological Observatory were responsible for maintaining the floatboat.

"If you run into any trouble, summon me with the Space Path Marker. Stephen said softly.

Hearing this, Master Void nodded and said, "Hmm." Your Excellency Stephen rest assured. I'm not going to act rashly. ”

Since the Void Master and his party were the main force in this operation, the high-level wizards of the elemental pool did not dispatch this time, and most of them were guarding the academy and the secret territory.

After sending off the Void Master, Stephen began to work on the mutated slime monster while taking time to instruct the Botanical Garden's apprentices. Because he happened to be in the academy during this time, the council almost pinched the time to rush to arrange a lecture for him, and Stephen had no way to shirk it, so he could only give a lecture on the application of supermagic techniques in "Spell Penetration".

The entire lecture hall was full that day.

Not only all the wizard apprentices who were qualified to attend the class rushed over, but even the official wizards also came over more than a hundred people, and even the wizard Mograini silently carried a small bench and sat in the last row to listen, in the name of helping His Excellency Stephen supervise the students who did not pay attention to the class.

Three hours passed quickly.

Only Stephen's voice rang out in the entire lecture hall, and everyone else was silently taking notes.

"Alright. ”

"That's all I have to say about the magic technique of spell penetration. Stephen waved his hand to signal that class could be dismissed, and continued, "The academy has assigned me twenty-four classes in the second half of this year. ”

"I'll focus on the application of supermagic techniques such as Spell Penetration, Spell Extreme, Spell Silence, Spell Ordering, and Spell Instantaneity. ”

"Some spell optimizations will also be sorted out. ”

"You'd better study hard when you go back, if you can't keep up with the progress, you'll be disqualified from attending classes. ”

There was a nervous exclamation of excitement from under the podium.

Regarding the ability of supermagic techniques, the Five Rings Tower has always been based on their own exploration, because they have not sorted out the systematic application skills, and the content of Stephen's lecture is easy to understand but feels very profound when thinking about it carefully, and almost everyone present has gained something. After all, this is a concise version of the foundation accumulation of the Arcane Empire for thousands of years, as long as the strength of a third-level wizard apprentice or above, he is qualified to start learning slowly.

in the next room.

After Stephen announced the end of class, Witch Liana silently closed the small notebook in front of her, and then secretly teleported away.

She wouldn't let people know that she needed to eavesdrop on her disciple's lectures.

In the evening.

Stephen was doing research in his room, and the mutated slime monster was very adaptable and possessed excellent phagophagoal fusion. Stephen is using a spell to simulate the desert environment to see if this slime monster that has been initially modified by him can adapt to the desert environment, and if he can, he will be kept in captivity in the eastern desert region for a period of time before finally considering sending it to the Quarter Moon.

"Your Excellency Stephen. A witch's soft voice came from outside the door.

Stephen withdrew the faint lightning bolt in his palm, and the mutant slime monster in front of him had been quite electrocuted, and was now cowering in the corner of the glass cover.

This human being is simply a demon!

Either with flames or strong acids, or with electric shocks, he forcibly turned a demonized and mutated slime monster into this appearance.

Stephen pushed the door open and walked out, looked up and said, "It's the Lady of Kalami." Is there something going on?"

Stephen had met a few times, belonging to the Botanical Garden, working in the Resources Division.

"Your Excellency Stephen. The witch in front of him leaned over Stephen slightly, and then handed over a document imprinted with a magic mark and said, "This is the academy's readjusted resource ration for you this year, you can take a look at it first, if there is no problem, please leave your magic mark." ”

Resource allocation?

Stephen curiously reached out and took it, and when he looked at it, his eyes lit up.

After the Battle of the Eye of Death, Stephen's contribution and authority level in the Five Rings Tower have been very high, and he is almost close to catching up with the old high-level wizards of the past.

But because he is a newcomer after all, he has to rise too fast, so he has to slowly improve the allocation of resources, and the council will at most give him some additional shares. But there was no need to do that anymore, Stephen's achievements were obvious to all, and the council could justifiably lean more resources on him.

"The monthly ration has been increased to 150 Magic Stones. ”

"Gain control over the output of Secret Realm 7 for the next five years. ”

"Gain control of the output of Secret Realm 11 for the next ten years. ”

"Obtained the management authority of Area 16 of Area B of the Ecological Park. ”

"Obtain 50% of the output of Area 12 of Area C of the Secret Undersea Realm. (Note: The other 50% of the output is at the disposal of the Helen Witch.) ）

"The permission level has been upgraded to A. ”

"In case of emergency, it is possible to temporarily allocate no more than 10,000 magic stones in the academy, but they must be returned in full in the future, while paying an additional fee of 5% per year. It can only be used once a year. ”

..................

A list of Stephen's current benefits package.

The entire wizarding world is relatively short of currency, although the resource of magic stones is used as currency, but it is consumed almost every day, if it is not for the fact that there are some magic stone minerals on the planet of Motera, I am afraid that wizards can only find other currencies. In this context, almost all high-level wizards can receive a limited number of magic stones, so the academy generally uses other methods to compensate for the interests of high-level wizards, that is, the control of the resources of those secret realms held by the Five Ring Towers.

To put it simply, the output of these realms is paid as wages to wizards who contribute a lot.

"Secret Realm No. 7. I seem to have been. Stephen said, holding his chin.

He had been to the No. 7 Secret Realm before, where there was a huge dragon fruit tree, which belonged to the relatively advanced secret realm of the Five Ring Tower.

At that time, Witch Liana used her authority to pick some dragon fruits from it, and it was these fruits that first awakened Stephen's dragon vein ability, which directly made him eat and spew out a small fire.

"Is it possible for me to control the output of these realms at will?" asked Stephen.

The Witch of Karami nodded, "Yes." However, you will only be entitled to the output within the year of use, after which the College will rearrange it. ”

"The output of the secret realm you own is recorded every year. It can be queried through the Academy Towering. ”

"If you can't use these resources in the secret realm yourself, you can sell them yourself or give them to the academy for sale, but you can't sell them to wizards outside at will. ”

Stephen nodded, "Oh." ”

After saying that, he directly connected to the primordial tower spirit of the Fifth Ring Tower, and soon saw the output of the No. 7 secret realm, which can produce about 12-15 dragon fruits per year, and the unified selling price within the academy is 800 magic stones. Stephen couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw this price, but he didn't expect that Witch Liana would be so generous, and at that time she would be willing to use such expensive and rare ingredients to make magical dishes for them.

Secret Realm 11 is located in the southwest region.

This secret realm is relatively close to the fairy garden, and the resources produced are mainly potions, and the annual output is about 2,000-3,000 magic stones. No. 11 Secret Realm is a small secret realm, Stephen has not been to the fairy garden, but I heard that area is the territory developed by ancient wizards, although it later mutated and produced a lot of evil spirits for some reasons, but it has still been developed a lot of small secret realms. This area is an active area for dark wizards, many scattered dark wizards look for mutated demonic plants to strengthen themselves, and the fairy garden is also connected to a large area underground.

Area B of the ecological park belongs to the medium-sized tyrannosaurus rex breeding area, and Stephen's management authority is mainly in the collection of fees and resource allocation, which is a long-term source of income, and the number of years is not marked, about five or six hundred magic stones can be obtained a year.

The most important purpose of this permission is to facilitate Stephen's apprenticeship.

In the future, his disciples will be able to directly enter Area B of the Ecological Park, and as long as it is within the scope of Stephen's management, they can regularly hunt dinosaur species to obtain cultivation resources.

Another major part is the output of the secret realm under the sea.

This is a super-large secret realm, the area occupied by the Five Ring Towers is about tens of thousands of square kilometers, and the sea area owned by Stephen is about 600 square kilometers, of course, he can only get 50% of the output in this area, and the other half belongs to the Helen Witch he is more familiar with.

The final allocation is relatively simple, as wizards are often short of money.

The material allocation quota of 10,000 magic stones is not very high, it can only be said to be a small benefit brought by the increase in authority, and the output of Stephen No. 7 Secret Realm is almost worth 10,000 magic stones in a year.

These resource allocations are considered to be a stable income from the college.

This is also known as the subsistence allowance.

It can ensure that some academic and research wizards can barely spend enough money in their hands every year, and if it really consumes resources, this income is not enough for a high-level wizard. Basically, all the wizards in the Five Rings Tower have extra money income, the magic stones issued by the academy are too few, and high-level wizards will also take tasks regularly, and the academic wizards may be a little less, and the actual combat wizards will have more extra money income.

The Fifth Ring Tower holds some rich mineral resources.

For example, in a large magic stone mining area in the northwest region, but this kind of mining area does not belong to individuals, they are the property of the academy, and the output income is directly attributed to the academy's treasury for the maintenance of the daily operation of the academy.

Most of the things that can really be allocated to wizards are secret realm resources.

Stephen roughly calculated that in addition to the cost of daily maintenance, the resources he allocated would probably have an income of about 15,000-18,000 magic stones per year.

Of course, if Stephen went to the secret realm in person, his income would be a little higher, and he could easily reach more than 20,000 magic stones.

However, where does he have the leisure to squat in the secret realm, he must hand it over to the task hall of the academy to manage, so that there will be a management expenditure of about 5,000-6,000 magic stones every year. The bulk of this management expenditure is the No. 7 Secret Realm and the Undersea Secret Realm, and the No. 11 Secret Realm also requires five or six hundred magic stones per year. Usually other high-level wizards leave their apprentices to take care of when they obtain the permission of the secret realm, but Stephen does not have any apprentices who can handle it, so he can only issue tasks through the quest hall.

The twin sisters have been helping Witch Liana with the botanical gardens until now, so she has always been a little rich woman, so it is very lucrative to have some gifted apprentices.

"Nothing is a problem. Stephen raised his hand to leave his magic mark on the document.

The five-ring tower is still relatively kind.

The output of the secret realm of almost 20,000 magic stones a year is already a high salary in the entire academy.

Combined with the regular rationing of other resources and the annual distribution of potions, the Five Rings Tower costs Stephen an average of nearly 50,000 magic stones a year. That is to say, the Five Ring Tower is so generous to the insiders, and if it is replaced by other dark wizards' organizations, the resources are basically divided by the core of the organization, and what is allocated to the following is a little soup and water, and the middle and low-level dark wizards have to rely on their own lives to fight for the resources of promotion. However, in the Fifth Ring Tower, even the apprentices who have just come over have been allocated magic stones on a regular basis, and as long as they are not particularly lazy, they can obtain the basic resource requirements to maintain their promotion.

In this regard, Stephen is very fond of the Five Rings Tower.

In some cases, the Five-Ring Tower may be superior to the Academy of the Arcane Empire, but of course, the premise of all this is that the Five-Ring Tower must maintain its current financial resources.

This is also the reason why whenever there is a crisis in the academy, all the wizards can fight side by side.

..................

(Note: Nearly half of the resource output of the Five Rings Tower is consumed in the Elemental Pool, about 30% is allocated to the Botanical Garden, and the remaining 20% is given to the Astrological Observatory.) The Elemental Pool's Combat Wizards have always been the core and main force of the battle. ）[.]
