According to the driver of the rough car, this is called a detour, no matter how close the destination is, you can smash hundreds of dollars at outsiders. In the same way, for the Qi magic master, the actual distance that is too short is just a trouble, not a problem, and it is completely possible to arrange a curved, twisted and lengthened space channel to roughly simulate the situation of long-distance teleportation, of course, the actual distance needs to be based on the final measurement.

"Do you understand this time?" asked Emily, beckoning her assistant to come over and bandage Jiao Ming's wounds.

Telling what he had just experienced, Jiao Ming finally complained: "You said it earlier, I thought you were in the mood." ”

"That's all?" Emily was clearly not satisfied.

Jiao Ming thought about it, but after all, he still didn't deal with it like a short-answer question in the exam, and shook his head honestly.

"You're weird, it's time to study magic with a sharp mind and clear thinking, and it's slow to do it yourself. Emily looked confused and explained, "I just slowed down so that you can feel the magic of spatial teleportation, I thought you could learn the flash technique." When I was in the fourth ring, I was taken by the master to teleport once, and I directly comprehended this magic. ”

"You're a genius! I'm an ordinary person, and I can't compare. Jiao Ming understood the reason, and was a little speechless while complimenting. Short-distance spatial teleportation, which can also be called 'flash technique', is a four-ring magic in terms of the amount of magic used, but because of the danger of spatial teleportation, it is only the six-ring qi magicians who will start to learn. Moreover, among the students of the fourth and fifth rings of the Qi Department Branch, none of them could perform the 'Flashing Technique', and Jiao Ming could not teleport without using the silver ring, which was completely normal.

Emily's praise of the 'genius' was noncommittal, and her expression was quite complicated, and after a short period of coldness, she announced that the test was successful, and the next step would be to improve the large iron box.

Two days later, the first batch of 100 gray-robed students set out. Before boarding the huge floating airship, a send-off event was held within the student council under the auspices of Binglian, and Jiao Ming hugged and said goodbye to several familiar guys, including the color embryo strategist when discussing the disposal of the captives, and the water first aid master Cooper, who was the one who ran around with the floating frisbee during the competition.

Embracing this kind of etiquette is not in line with the aristocratic etiquette of this world, but it has its own contagious power, and several teenagers who have been hugged by Jiao Ming have red circles in their eyes, and finally Jiao Ming's vision is also a little blurred.

When the magnetized iron piece gradually replaced the side circle of the teleportation array, the second batch of gray-robed students of 100 people set off, this time there were fewer acquaintances in the student union, Jiao Ming, who participated in the send-off, wanted to continue to hug and say goodbye, but found that the acquaintances only had two sisters, and they were the two female strategists who worked together to suppress the color embryo. After a moment of hesitation, the two girls took the initiative to step forward and hugged Jiao Ming successively, and the short-haired girl finally smiled and said that the adults would not mind.

But probably because of the hard life in childhood, the two girls only have nothing on their chests, and there is no meat in other parts of their bodies, and the feeling of hugging is similar to hugging a teenager.

However, when the third batch of 100 people set off for the Northern Battlefield for internship according to the schedule, Vice President Sassu also showed his cunning, and the Advanced Magic Academy welcomed 400 gray-robed freshmen.

"That old thing is going to cry when you do that. During the usual lunch, Jiao Ming said with a smile.

"Pay attention to respecting the strong!" Bing Lian first corrected her solemn expression, and then patted the table with her four fingers to strengthen the effect, but she soon looked like she was smiling, obviously feeling refreshed in her heart.

Although Sassou accepted the suggestion of sending gray-robed students out for internships, which seemed to be in line with Lyerpott's intention at first glance, it didn't take long for him to make a backhand move, so that the number of gray-robed students increased instead of decreasing. To sum up, it is quite similar to the strategy of dealing with sugar-coated shells, sugar-coated leaves the cannonballs back, that is, the parts that are beneficial to me are left to adopt, and the parts that are beneficial to you are deaf.

However, after the joyful meal, it was hard work, copying the experience of the last time, according to the plan, the fourth and fifth batches of student council members rushed into the 400 new students who had just completed the opening ceremony, and began to recruit all kinds of recruits while helping the school organize the new students to adapt to the new life. Of course, Jiao Ming couldn't escape, and even asked his master for leave to skip class, after all, the content of the afternoon class had already been taught by Emily in daily experiments.

However, after a busy afternoon, Jiao Ming also discovered one thing, among this group of four hundred freshmen, most of them were only three-ring magic talents, and there were very few five-ring talents.

You must know that among the five hundred aristocratic students, nine out of ten are five rings, and some of the talents of even the fourth ring have reached the five rings in the family education before entering the school, as if the five rings are a hard standard, and only a very small number of guys who do not seek to be motivated but are admitted because of their proton status are the third or fourth rings, and they have also learned to be low-key in such an environment.

As for the original five hundred gray-robed students, nearly half of the five-ring talents, how lucky they are, as long as they compare one or two with the ice lotus. The crocodile has been heirloom for hundreds of years, and this can reach the water magic talent of more than five rings for generations, and the parents of these people mostly have three-ring magic talents, and the low ones have no magic talents. Obviously, though, despite the vigorous search within the Kingdom Union, digging up five hundred of these lucky ones is the limit.

The number of rings of the new students is low, and the face-slapping plan is obviously not helpful. However, on second thought, Vice President Sassou should pay more attention to the trainees of the front-line internship, after all, there will be no such a stubble to thank him for his talents in a few years. Therefore, the safety is even higher, and the casualty rate may be lower than that of the extremely hard-hitting Crocodile Collar Magic Warrior.

However, in essence, this high-level magic academy is a combination of high school and social dance for the children of the aristocracy, but for the gray-robed students, it is a combination of a vocational and technical school and a barracks, and this profound inequality completely dissipates the slight joy in Jiao Ming's heart due to the confirmation of the safety of the students.

While thinking about these messes, he was busy counting the new members of the student council, until it was completely dark, and Jiao Ming rarely rode back to the castle with Binglian and Evan in a carriage again.

"It's a short day. Jiao Ming ate dinner in a bumpy way, admiring the night outside the window and sighing. The familiar roadside scenery was wrapped in night, and then shrouded in the faint light of the carriage lantern, which had a different taste. Today, although I returned late because of the recruitment of new students by the student union, the fact that I had to travel at night and the shortening days were another factor.

"yes, time flies. Evan sighed, but there was a taste of vicissitudes, not at all like a young man.

Binglian, who was also eating, paused her chopsticks, and the piece of meat she was holding fell on the hem of her robe, and it was immediately a greasy stain. Jiao Ming looked at it in surprise, but saw that Bing Lianqiao's face was slightly red, and she was busy dealing with small troubles, and she groaned slightly, only then did she remember that before going south, Ms. Ziyu had promised to get married at the autumn harvest celebration. Looking at the days, it is not far away, and when it comes to the short days, it is no wonder that the ice lotus has associations.

As the young lord of the duke's county, it is really rare for Binglian to look so flustered, Jiao Ming smiled and admired it for a while before mentioning the official affairs of the student union.

In the evening, after being counted down by a dissatisfied Emily, the experiment began as usual, and then Jiao Ming's blood-stained robes continued. It's not that the experiment has not progressed, but that while the materials used in the teleportation array are gradually decreasing, the efficacy is always stuck near the critical value, and it is because during the teleportation process, uncontrollable small cracks are still covered in the spatial passage.

During the midnight break, Jiao Ming suddenly remembered that when he tried to break the underground Siccton Wall, he had proposed to the Magicians Association to purchase the 'Teleportation Circle for Human Use' technology, but because the price could not be negotiated, the transaction was not completed. However, in the process of negotiating the price, a piece of paper was obtained, depicting a rune with the Wizards' Guild's self-certification of the progress of the teleportation of magic research.

When I first met Emily, I also happened to think about it, but I felt that I was not familiar with Emily, and my research direction was not related, so I didn't talk about it, but this time is naturally different. Thinking of this, Jiao Ming said bluntly, but just halfway through speaking, Emily interrupted with a gesture and 'invited' the three assistants in the laboratory out.

Jiao Ming said carelessly, and only after he activated his ear power and made sure that the three of them were far away, he finished the second half.

"It's kind of interesting, take a look. Emily was intrigued.

Within ten minutes, Rosea had found the paper from nowhere, and Emily looked at it for a long time and confirmed, "That's all there is to it?"

Jiao Ming repeated the original situation, shrugged his shoulders and explained: "The Wizards Guild is so shrewd, this is obviously enough to prove that the research is advanced, but it will not reveal the secrets. That may have been true for the crocodile at the time, but with a genius like you, some people are afraid they will make a mistake. ”

Emily was very useful for this sycophant, nodded and continued to ponder.

"Oh, yes, there's one more thing. Jiao Ming then slapped his thigh again and said, "According to the crocodile duke's guess, this rune may be something above the level of the Nine Rings. ”

"Is it really above the Nine Rings?" Emily's voice raised a few degrees, staring at Jiao Ming, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of surprise, and asked, "What is the original words of the crocodile duke?"

"I don't remember exactly, but I remember that Duke Crocodile showed that when he activated his magic with all his might, something like this would appear in his muscles. Jiao Ming folded his forearm and showed his biceps to help illustrate.

"If you find out, you will definitely be indispensable!" Emily patted Jiao Ming's shoulder, directly promised, and then waved her hand and said: "That's all for today's experiment, if you want to study runes with me, just stay, if you don't want to, you can fiddle with your own teleportation array, in short, leave work early." ”

Jiao Ming thought about it, but decided to stay, if there was any progress in this aspect of the runes, it would be better to take out the silver ring and give it to Emily for identification. Although there has been nothing strange in more than a year since the last time the self-healing phenomenon of the Sicorton Wall was blocked, and it is easy to use, and there is no intention of discarding it, it is always more reassuring to know a little more.

However, the things above the nine rings have their own profundity and incomprehension. Until Jiao Ming repeatedly persuaded her to rest on time, Emily had nothing to gain except for a messy chicken nest.

......

As the summer came to an end, the fourth and fifth batches of gray-robed students of the hundred-person team went north one after another, and the student union was transferred away one after another because of the backbone, and there were many chaos in the internal operation, and finally gradually stabilized its position with the efforts of Binglian and Jiao Ming. However, as the new students were divided into five-person teams and held practice matches, there was a rather disgusting voice on the side of the noble students, that is, to go to the new students to compete in order to regain their confidence. Fortunately, there are not many people who echo it, and it will soon be drowned silent, otherwise it will really refresh Jiao Ming's evaluation of the children of the nobility.

At the end of summer, the temperature after midnight gradually changed from cool to slightly cold, and the academy students changed into thick autumn and winter robes, but the gorgeousness and simplicity were still distinct. Emily also changed her clothes, the exposed area of her skin was greatly reduced, and she also teased Jiao Ming with this, in short, as she became more and more familiar, the majesty of the master became less and less.

At the same time, a large number of various fruits matured into the market, and at the suggestion of Binglian, Jiao Ming activated the teleportation array and sent a large number of purchased fruits of various colors to the front line and the crocodile collar, slightly increasing the prestige of the two.

And in the wizard circle, as the cool autumn approaches, a topic gradually occupies everyone's after-dinner time, and that is the price of metal. Since Emily's Floating Circle of Reduced Metal Consumption was announced by Sasu, the price of metal has fallen, and has been falling again and again as other research groups have released their findings. So much so that now, even if no research results are published, it is still declining, and the speed is not slow.

When Binglian and Jiao Ming learned the news, they looked at each other. Although it has little impact on his life, he is very curious, and the work of the student council is on the right track, so he has a little free time, so the two simply strolled to the library together, found Evan, and asked for the inside information of the alchemist's lineage.

"Are you guys a big price reduction?" Jiao Ming asked with a smile.

Evan smiled and nodded, "Exactly. ”

"In business, confidentiality is understandable. But what can't be said is not said, and what can be said is revealed, which is not excessive. Jiao Ming was in a good mood and still didn't give up after touching a soft nail.

"In these days, no one believes me to be honest. Evan looked helpless, and then turned his head and motioned to the maid Butterfly to deliver a stack of materials.

Jiao Ming took it, pressed the doubts in his heart, and read it quickly with Binglian. The content of the information is not an internal decision of the alchemist's lineage, but a report on the reaction of the magicians in the entire kingdom to the reduction of the metal price.

To sum up, the magicians went from being ecstatic at first to becoming confused. And some self-proclaimed smart families began to play 'stock speculation', thinking that this is the bottom of the diamond, making the decision of 'buying at a low price', and then being overwhelmed by the falling price, or continuing to buy, and then being made green by the falling price.

"At the same time, on behalf of the family, I also officially inform the young lord of the Crocodile Leader, Ms. Ice Lotus, that if the Crocodile Leader sells metal, we will not take any action. ”

"What the hell does this mean?" Jiao Ming asked.

"Like you said, it's a big deal. ”

Jiao Ming and Binglian looked at each other, and their confusion and doubts continued unabated.

"Did the alchemists collectively drink the wrong magic addiction potion?" Jiao Ming asked.
