Several carriages drove smoothly through the streets, slowly stopping under the massive magical spire in the middle of the Sky City.

I didn't feel it from a distance, but when I arrived in front of me, Heidi, Reilia and other apprentices were full of amazement, because their necks needed to look up to see the spire of this magic tower. And unlike the ancient eerie and mysterious magic tower, its outer layer is made of silver-gray materials that shimmer with metallic light, and has a thrilling beauty that the apprentices can't describe.

"Uh, modern metallic building. This type of architecture is one of Lucian's favorite styles, and his fondness for the Magic Council has suddenly increased a lot.

Lazar, as the "master", was very satisfied with Lucien's love for this magic tower, and when he saw Felipe and the others in front disappearing at the gate, he clapped his hands lightly and smiled: "This is the magic tower where the council headquarters is located, also called Alinge, and it is a paradise that many magicians yearn for." Alright, let's get inside, it's 4:15 p.m., and the council headquarters will be closed at six o'clock, with only a few people left in charge of the security and monitoring of the entire city. ”

"Mr. Lazar, can you come back tomorrow? We are too tired and need to rest. Many magic apprentices asked with fear of the arcane level assessment, and even Annick was a little hesitant, he had not experienced the accumulation of success again and again, and his confidence had not yet been completely established.

Lazar led Lucien and the magic apprentices up the gray stone steps in front of the magic tower: "You just arrived today, and fatigue is indeed a problem, but you need to raise it yourself with the gentleman or lady in charge of the assessment, and they will reschedule the assessment for you." However, if you haven't gone through the assessment, you can't get the two badges of magic and arcane, and many things will be more troublesome. And the sooner you start learning arcane and magic, the sooner you can become a real magician. ”

He didn't let the apprentices test in a tired state, but reminded them not to put it off after a day's rest.

Soon, the group walked to the silver-gray gate of the magic tower, which was painted with countless mysterious patterns.

Just as Lucien and the others were about to walk directly through the half-open gate. Two large black eyes suddenly appeared on it, blinking and looking at the other side:

"Welcome to Alinge, and I welcome you all on behalf of all the Arcanists and Magicians. ”

A light and pleasant sound came from the door. Two metal doors swayed back and forth, as if waving.

Lazar laughed, "Prospel, you've never welcomed me like this. ”

"Because I smell the breath of life. Prospel didn't care about Lazar's jokes.

Lazar turned to the stunned apprentices and introduced, "Prospel, a powerful alchemical life fused with the Magic Tower. It was made by Douglas and several other Grand Arcane Lords who spent a long time collecting special mutilated souls. Hehe, there are a lot of alchemical lives in the council headquarters, and there is no place more extravagant than here in a similar aspect. ”

Lucien starts at the Kasbah of Calendia. He was very curious and interested in alchemy life, and couldn't help but ask: "Lazar, how many rings does the knowledge of alchemy life start to learn?"

"First you need the necromantic arcane knowledge tree about the soul, and then you need to learn the basics of alchemy's life harmony. Wait until these studies are completed, and when you become a high-level magician, you will be able to craft alchemy life. Hehe, so in the ancient magic empire. Only high-level mages can have their own magic towers. Lazar casually introduced.

Prosper's voice suddenly became lower: "This gentleman, if you are interested in alchemy life, please refine a lady in the future, the magic towers around me are all annoying males!"

In the eyes of Lucien and others, this image of alchemical life was immediately equated with obscenity.

Seeing that Lucien didn't answer, Prospel laughed dryly: "Ha Luha." I'm kidding. Well, the 'Apprentice Assessment Department' is the third area on the first floor, and the 'Magician Management Department' is the fourth area on the first floor. The fifth sector on the first floor is the 'mission area', where you can accept and post quests, and the sixth area on the first floor is the 'exchange department', which helps you exchange your money, materials, items, intelligence, etc. for arcane points, or vice versa. The 'General Arcane Library' is the first floor of the first floor, and the 'Magic Exchange Room' is the first floor of the second floor. ”

"If you want to meditate and experiment, you can go to the second to ninth floors, where there are meditation rooms, magic laboratories, bondage rooms, energy rooms, magic gardens, etc., of course, you need to pay money or arcane points to use. The tenth floor is the headquarters of the two periodicals Arcane and Magic, and the rest of the periodicals are either elsewhere in Alinge or in different cities in several kingdoms, hosted by different organizations or branches of the Magical Council in different countries. ”

"Floors 11 to 15 are the offices of several committees and exclusive lounges for committee members, floors 16 to 20 are free for qualified 'Arcane and Magic Research Teams' to apply, floors 21 to 25 are the best magic laboratories in different fields of study, and floors 26 to 30 are 'High Arcane and Magic Libraries', material warehouses, high-level summon binding rooms, etc. Floors 31 to 35 belong to the High Council, but I have heard that the Supreme Council has recently wanted to separate the 31st and 32nd floors as an academy to try to concentrate on teaching low-level magicians......"

Prospel crackled and a series of words burst out, and the apprentices were stunned when they heard it.

"Alright, you guys get in. When Prospel finished speaking, he sang an out-of-tune song:

"Don't just mess around, that's my muscles. ”

"Don't touch the walls, I'll itch it. ”

"Don't vandalize public property, internal organs are always fragile. ”

......

Under the "farewell" of this strange alchemy life, Lucien and the others finally walked into the council headquarters, and the first thing that appeared in front of them was a circular silver hall, in the center of the hall there was a one-meter diameter disc, on which a complex magic array was depicted, and around the disc was a yellow-green light mask, which extended to the second layer.

Around the hall are marked six zones and stairwells.

"That's the lift. Lazar introduced, and then asked Lucien for advice, "Let's go to the 'Apprentice Assessment Department' in District 3 first, and when the apprentices are arranged, I'll take Evans to the 'Wizard Management Department' in District 4, no problem, right?"

"No problem, after all, I also mentored them for a while. Lucien didn't mind. While watching the magicians and apprentices come and go, dressed in the style of Holm, he followed Lazar towards the third district.

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

There were rows of rooms of different colors in the third arrondissement, and an old gentleman with slender cheeks and a stiffly dressed person received Lazar and Lucien and others.

The old gentleman, Simeon, said solemnly to the apprentices: "You register first. Then I will provide you with an arcane basic test, and when you find out your arcane level and tendencies, I will arrange for you to enter a different magic school. ”

"Mr. Simeon, we have just arrived at noon today after the bumps of the Storm Channel. After another three hours on the magic steam train, she was already very tired, can you postpone the arcane test until tomorrow?" But she, who considered herself one of the leaders of the apprentices, did not hesitate to stand up and ask for everyone at this time.

The request is reasonable, although Simeon is old-fashioned, he is not hard-hearted, so he nodded: "Then you register first, and come here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning for assessment." I'm going to arrange for you to rest in your rooms in the Third Ward tonight. Remember, you don't have two badges of arcane and magic. Be sure not to go out of the Third Zone. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Simeon, we must remember. The apprentices were overjoyed.

Watching them register in turn, Lucien stood next to him and didn't move, and his clothes were obviously continental. Simeon said with a slight puzzlement: "You don't register?"

"Mr. Simeon, I am an official magician. Lucien smiled.

Simeon's old-fashioned face showed a little surprise, and then he looked Lucien up and down: "A magician who is less than twenty years old, his mental power talent is outstanding." If you want to learn the magic of the astral system or the light and dark system, or concentrate on the study of mathematics, you can consider joining our 'Tower'. ”

Lazar looked at Simeon with a "mournful" gaze: "Mr. Evans wants to concentrate on the study of arcane basics first, and wait until he has an official arcane level before choosing. ”

Simeon wears two badges, a silver star on a black background, like a deep starry sky, but there are only two stars, and one is a silver background with two black rings, cold and mysterious. According to Lazar's previous introduction on the train, the former is the badge of the second-level arcanist, and the latter is the badge of the second-ring magician.

After listening to Lazar's words, he showed a rare smile: "It's rare for such a sober young man to be so sober now, Zhilu Dao first studies and researches with peace of mind, instead of indulging in invitations from various organizations. Evans, our Tower is a relatively neutral organization, in lockstep with the Council, and there are a lot of arcanists in it who like to study and explore and don't like fighting, hehe, okay, I'm going to cry if I say Lazar again. ”

Chatting here, Heidi, Reilia and others over there kept chanting and reciting theorems and laws, etc., and Sprint frowned slightly: "The learning of arcane is in peacetime. It's going to be assessed tomorrow, and you won't have any effect on that. ”

Awakened by his words, Heidi rushed to Lucian: "Mr. Evans, is there a good way to revise?"

"I agree with Splinter on this, you've practiced enough, and what you need tonight is a good rest and a simple browsing. ”

Annick and Reilia nodded, looked at Lucien with some reluctance, and said at the same time, "Mr. Evans, will you come to see us tomorrow?"

"If nothing else, I'll come. Lucien smiled, how do you know how my guidance task is done?

However, seeing that after he agreed, Annick and the others cheered quietly, Lucian's heart also softened a little, and he turned to Lazar and said, "Let's go to the Wizard Management Department." By the way, Lazar, can I borrow books or exchange magic from the 'Arcane Library' and the 'Magic Exchange Room' only with Arcane Points, or can I use Quintal?"

"Either way. Lazar looked at Lucien amusedly, "But, Evans, the first requirement to enter these two places is that you have an active arcane emblem, otherwise obediently take the arcane and magic basics books that the council gave you for free." When you reach a certain level, you can apply for an arcane exam at the 'Wizard Management Department', and if you pass, you will get a basic arcane point and activate the arcane badge. ”

Lucien frowned, "The easiest way to activate the Arcane Emblem is to submit a new spell?" (To be continued.) )
