Chapter Ninety-Eight: Academy 2

"You are freshmen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The info dormitory is on the third floor. The gray-robed wizard said.

Some of them, who also looked like apprentices, appeared, and they said to the newcomer: "Boys come with me, girls go next door." ”

As soon as Stephen entered the castle, he felt the presence of a magical barrier, and the Five Rings Tower was said to be the best and friendliest wizarding academy across the strait, at least it didn't die casually like the mire of death, and it really looked pretty good now.

"Yo, a new batch of apprentices has arrived. ”

In the hallway, a painting hanging on the wall suddenly spoke, and in the painting was a clown, who was hanging from a rope, and said with a wicked smile: "I wonder how long you poor little ones will live this time?"

"Shut up. Jeff!" the apprentice in charge of the team took out his staff and tapped on the portrait.

"Ahh

There are many paintings hanging in the corridors.

Some of them look the same as ordinary oil paintings, while others move and even speak, and the apprentices are both curious and scared, and they are constantly watching along the way.

"Slowly you get used to it. "A wizard apprentice who leads the team.

Stephen's expression was calm.

It's just some evil life alive, and some of the great portraits are infused with souls, and he once imprisoned the guy who offended him in the painting.

"One room for four. In the future, if you want an independent dormitory, you will have to fight for it on your own. ”

The wizard apprentice who led the team had a cold attitude and said slowly: "Gather at seven o'clock tomorrow morning." Someone will tell you how to survive here. The cafeteria is on the north side and the classrooms are on the south side. Every month, the academy has a subsidy, but it is only enough for basic survival, and if you want to live better, you have to work your own. ”

"The basic course is free and there are five lessons per day. The class schedule will be posted at the door of the dormitory. ”

"The library is in the garden area, and you can read it for free on the first floor, but you have to pay for it above the second floor. ”

"Alright. ”

"Now you all go back to the dorm to rest, remember not to run around at night. ”

Speaking of this, the apprentice in front of him showed a strange smile and said slowly, "Trust me. You won't like the things you encounter at night. ”

That eerie smile made many people shudder.

Stephen's dormitory was the third, with two Southerners and a Norman, and he fell asleep on his bed as soon as he entered. The beds here are fully furnished and the space is not small, and there are magic lamps on the walls, but they are uniformly powered. The other three apprentices were whispering, and no one came to greet him because Stephen was cold on the way.

The night passed quickly.

The next day, all the apprentices were assembled, and a tall, thin man handed them a slip.

There were maps, rules, courses, and so on of the Five Ring Towers, and the academy issued brown robes, and their monthly allowance was one magic stone and ten Jindler.

The Magic Stone is a gray crystal.

As soon as Stephen got his hands on it, he could be sure that this was an elemental crystal, of course, you can call it a spirit stone, a magic crystal, or an elemental stone, they are the products of the elemental tides, a rare mineral with magical powers. Magic stones are rare spell casting materials, props for arranging magic circles, and magic that can be used to extract energy to restore consumption, and aboriginal wizards use them as hard currency.

Kindler is another type of gold coin.

They weigh a pound in twenty pieces, and are made of nearly 100 percent pure gold, unlike the gold coins that circulate elsewhere with silver and lead, etc., and the wizards only accept this pure gold Jindler internally, and they use it as ordinary currency and alchemical material.

Inside this huge collegiate city.

Ten Kindler is enough for a person's daily food expenses every month, and one magic stone can pay for a basic spell course for a wizard master.

Apprentices must earn their own money to obtain more resources, and to the west of the academy is the Quest Hall, where there are commissions from apprentices and official wizards, and even from the outside world. However, these are not things that newcomers can accomplish, and the easiest way for newcomers to obtain wealth is through scholarships.

At the Five Rings Tower, you can get rewards for passing each of the basic courses.

If you are at the top or even break the record, then the rewards will be very generous, and you can even get a lot of magic stones. In terms of education, the Five Rings Tower is relatively advanced, and here Stephen even has the illusion of returning to the Arcane Academy.

At the beginning, he relied on the prize money of the Arcane Academy to complete the initial accumulation.

The foundation of each apprentice here is different, some come from more educated families, while others are almost illiterate, the basic course has five lessons a day, all the apprentices' courses are arranged by themselves, and what they want to learn is completely up to their own will. The academy's grant lasts for one year, and if you can't support yourself after a year, unfortunately you have to leave or starve to death.

There are a large number of apprentices in the Fifth Ring Tower.

Although it has only been a decade since the North and South borders, the academy seems to be recruiting apprentices from other places, and given the sheer size of this world, there should be no shortage of students.

But that's not the most important thing.

Stephen's most concerned meditation method was finally obtained after entering the Five Ring Tower, and as he had guessed at first, the meditation method in this world was not taught in an ordinary way. They are closer to a kind of spiritual imprint, and each apprentice must personally touch the giant crystal ball in the central square to obtain the meditation method.

It's a soul contract!

According to the contract, they cannot teach others the meditation methods they have learned, otherwise they will receive a certain backlash effect, which is very close to the contract commonly used by the devils.

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

It's a magical meditation method.

It completely overturned Stephen's past understanding, because its core concept is not meditation, but devouring elemental energy into the body. This is a method that only warlocks can cultivate, because warlocks' bloodlines are born with magical power, and if they continue to cultivate in this way, the wizard's body will eventually store a huge amount of energy in his body, instead of using his spiritual will to mobilize the energy of the outside world like an arcane.

A simple example.

Indigenous shamans cast spells, more directly using the energy in their bodies, they themselves are a huge container, while the arcanists mobilize the energy of the outside world, as if they are using a lever to pry the outside world.

This kind of meditation method is powerful and dangerous, according to Stephen's estimate, in the end, the cultivation will simply become a humanoid nuclear bomb, and the entire wizard's body is a huge energy like a nuclear explosion, no wonder these aboriginal wizards are so powerful in combat!

However, this kind of cultivation method is also very dangerous.

Because it will harm the body, the energy that the body can hold is limited, and this process will encounter one bottleneck after another, and in order to break through these bottlenecks, the aboriginal shaman must use some potions to change himself, otherwise the speed of cultivation will become very, very slow.

Potions!

They take potions to transform their bodies, and even give up their human form outright to transform into new life forms.

The red-robed wizard named Victor is an example.

He's no longer human.

This meditation method literally opened the door to another world for Stephen, but to his dissatisfaction, the apprentice was able to obtain only the first half of the meditation method.
