Chapter 11 Classes are on
Brunei's thinking did not come to any conclusion in the end, because the reason for his thinking was nothing more than a systematic sentence without a head. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 In that sentence, the only thing that can be considered a hint is the word "memory".
However, before the invention of the magic emblem, the whole world was in a sad dark age when only a few people could use magic, and almost all work in all activities, such as farming, labor, etc., could only be carried out by human beings...... This is a fact that everyone agrees on in Brunei's view.
Until the Kerry teacher asked that question, Brunei had never heard anyone think about it—not even the slightest suspicion of the idea of magic relying on spells, gestures, and spiritual resonance. So, where do the memories come from? The only thing that can be corroborated is perhaps only a year ago, when Brunei first picked up the system, and occasionally had strange dreams with continuous plots.
Although the system said "this is proof that you are starting to accept me", it is not a day or two for the system to pretend to say something that people don't understand, not to mention, he hasn't had that dream for a long time. Memories of the dream were blurry now, and only one impression remained—after all, it was just a dream.
Then, the devastated Teacher Kerry began to teach with a sad face, and Brunei naturally did not forget his original purpose of asking William to give him a student status, and he no longer thought about those who had or not.
Aside from his bizarre views on magic, Mr. Kerry has a solid grasp of the basics, speaks clearly, and has a very kind attitude, which can be said to be quite good as a teacher who teaches the basics to a group of children who have just finished their enlightenment education. And Brunei, whose education is roughly the same as that of those children, naturally feels that he has benefited a lot.
The skills of using magic and low-level magical knowledge Brunei has mastered it through self-study, and now he has a clear idea and has an overall concept, and what helps him the most is actually a lot of things that belong to the category of "common sense" for people related to the magic industry, but for ordinary people, they are "forbidden knowledge" that cannot be known.
It was only then that he realized that his knowledge of the magic emblem and mages in the past was too shallow.
In today's world, the most mainstream users of magic, commonly known as mages, cast magic through magic emblems. With the emblem of magic as a medium, the requirements for the mage himself to cast spells are less stringent, and, most importantly, one person's mental power is not enough to support a powerful spell that can meet the demand. Therefore, the emblem of magic is necessary.
Broadly speaking, there are three factions, depending on the policies and conditions of the region in which they live: the Imperial, the Federal, and the Papal Sect.
Imperial mages are the most familiar type in Bruneith, and if they carve a secondary sigil on the same place on their chest, near the heart, they will become the mage's mage attendants, and when the mage attendants are within a certain distance, the mage can cast spells with their psychic power.
Generally speaking, the recovery time required for a person's mental power to be depleted is about three to five days, but it only takes half or maybe two hours of sleep to recuperate, so when a powerful Imperial mage has a large number of mage attendants, their spiritual power can almost be said to be inexhaustible.
However, the mage attendant itself will become the weakness of the mage, and as the price of establishing a mental connection to use the spiritual power of the mage squire, the mage himself will often experience the emotional fluctuations of his mage acolyte, which is also a very dangerous thing. It is said that there are quite a few powerful Imperial third-turn mages who have fallen into madness because of this.
Papal mages are very rare, even for the people of College City. Because the Academy City is, after all, an inland city, and the Holy See is separated from this continent by an ocean. Kerry himself didn't have much research, he only knew that the Holy See mages wore magic emblems on their foreheads, and the spiritual power they used came from their gods' rewards.
It is said that there are rumors that the Holy See mages will become weak when they come to this continent, but Kerry stresses that it is best not to confront the Holy See mages about this matter, otherwise he is likely to shout, "God is omnipotent!" and stab you to death with a sword. After telling this story, the classroom, which had been whispering, fell silent for a moment.
Finally, the mage of the Federation Department, Kerry has spent a lot of effort on this, after all, the Academy City can be said to be fully in line with the Federation in terms of the use of magic, and Kerry himself is naturally the most familiar with it as a local, and he has also spent a lot of effort to study.
First of all, the term "Federalism Mage" itself is a misconception. Because the other two types of mages are the standard for mages, "assembling magic emblems", almost all members of the Federation have become mages.
Unlike the Empire, which only had to draw and wear the magic emblem by the age of sixteen, and the strange condition that the Holy See was chosen by the gods, the Federation usually became a "mage apprentice" in the general sense of the word elsewhere by the time the Empire was ten years old and his palms were long enough to hold a standard magic emblem.
As for their magic emblem - they were bought. Even in the poorest and smallest cities of the Federation, there will be at least one open shop selling magic emblems, and the magic emblems sold in these shops are made by "professionals who specialize in the production of magic emblems".
It is interesting to note that half of these so-called "professionals" are actually fugitives from the Empire, and most of them have received the same education as Brunei and the bald heads, but they have just finished the Empire's enlightenment.
Anyway, the worse schools in the Commonwealth, as Kerry says, but Brunei doesn't understand the concept of "worse schools" - there is no knowledge of the making of magic emblems in the Enlightenment stage, in fact, it should be said that there is no such knowledge at any stage except the professional schools, so these imperial fugitives are indeed considered "professionals".
And the Federation will be regarded as financially capable adults after obtaining their own magic emblem - as Kerry said this, the children who had begun to wander freely again suddenly stopped suddenly, and many of them proudly raised the back of their hands with some kind of pattern, and their serious expressions suddenly looked a bit like adults.
Speaking of which, there is another key concept to mention, which is the way the Federalists trade - in fact, the way they trade in College City. They standardized mental power, and prescribed a certain amount of mental power as "1 standard unit", and the spiritual power possessed by normal people is roughly between 6 and 16 standard units.
It wasn't until Kerry said this that Brunei realized for the first time that the division of "1 standard unit" was the same as the system's division of "mana MP points". However, the inquiry into the system can be said to be unsuccessful as a matter of course.
[Hmph, of course that's because I have the truth of the world.] What kind of grandsons of the founders of the Federation can actually get close to the truth in this regard, which can be regarded as relatively good. The system unsurprisingly uttered this line of non-nutrition.
In College City, the concept of coins has been almost completely abandoned, and it has been replaced by spiritual power based on "1 standard unit". The Federation has not yet reached this level, but it is said that most transactions nowadays, especially those involving commodities and precious items, are basically using psychic power as a medium of exchange.
And the foundation of all this is the magic emblem of the Federation system. Their characteristic is that they can store and trade spiritual power, and according to different levels and qualities, the spiritual power they can store and trade at one time naturally varies, but even the lowest-level pentagram magic emblem belonging to the mage's apprentice can store up to 40 standard units of spiritual power.
In addition, the emblem of magic, which can also be engraved on the outside of the body to have a certain storage effect, has also been invented, and the pentagram iron plate used by Brunei Darussalam earlier is this great invention. Thanks to this thing, Brunei, who is still an imperial mage, can receive his salary, even though he can only buy in a limited number of shops.
If it weren't for the fact that the transfer of the spiritual power of the magic emblem worn by the person was a relatively slow and easily interrupted process, and the magic emblem could not store the spiritual power belonging to the owner, and the excessive frequency of storing the spiritual power of the same person could also cause escape, the federal mage could almost be said to be the most powerful, comprehensive, and perfect mage.
Mr. Kerry's admiration for the federal mage reminded Brunei of his own enlightenment, and his attitude had something in common with the venerable old man, even though their views were very different. The most amazing thing is that Brunei felt that at least on this point, there was nothing glaring wrong about the grounds presented by either of them.
[Rustic patriotism - well, at least a simple pride in the cultural circle to which it belongs.] I was really touched by the fact that a group of monkeys had evolved to such an extent. 】
Wait until Kerry says, "Alright, that's all for today's lesson." At that time, half of the sun had sunk under the tall western city walls, and the crimson sunset reflected the sky as if it was stained red with blood, which looked quite warm. Unfortunately, when he walked out of the classroom, Brunei deeply realized the true meaning of "illusion".
Brunei subconsciously wanted to wrap the heavy black cloth on his body, but what he touched was a soft and smooth strange feel, and he reacted that in order to look less out of step with the people around him when he was in school, William made a special trip to buy him a luxurious outfit with white as the main color - luxury was only for him, and from the results, Brunei didn't think it was of any use.
Suddenly, a strange touch pressed on his shoulder, and he reached out to grab it, the soft and fluffy, not too heavy feel made Brunei feel quite unfamiliar, and when he turned around, he saw William's ice-blue eyes, and the curled blonde hair that was only extraordinarily flamboyant on the top of his head, and a flattering smile at the corner of his mouth, Brunei shivered suddenly, and the chill he felt was several times stronger than before.
"Teacher. William's arms were slightly spread, holding a pale yellow cloak that looked like a quilt, but with white fluff on all sides, and took two steps forward with a full face, and put the thing on Brunei's shoulders again, "You see how cold you are?" This cotton robe is the latest style of Wright Ready-to-Wear, and it is sure to keep you warm. ”
Brunei had a little impression of the name Wright Ready-to-Wear, which was the most expensive tailor shop in the city, but it was not the only tailor shop that accepted that kind of small piece of iron, and the price of the clothes inside was basically incomprehensible to Brunei Darussalam, so he had never been close to the contents of the store, so he replied: "Hmm." ”
This time Brunei didn't mean to shirk anymore, this cotton robe was obviously thrown off by his reliable black cloth in a thick degree I don't know how many streets, but it really had excellent cold performance, but just wrapped his body, as if he was completely separated from the cold wind of the outside world, he vaguely praised again: "It's amazing......"
William smiled, his hands rubbed in front of him, his eyes narrowed into thin slits, and his originally handsome appearance revealed a lewd aura at this moment: "Then, teacher, are we—"
[Isn't it possible to go to second base?]
Brunei didn't understand the joke that the system was dirty and not of this world, and just looked at William suspiciously.
"Is it time to start classes in earnest?"
"What, haven't we all been in school for a day?" Brunei Darussalam's face was full of confusion, and then a look of overjoyed eyes, "Did you arrange an evening class for me?
William's face was also full of confusion: "No, teacher, are you a teacher?"
Brunei's black pupils were like deep whirlpools, burying everything, but William's pale blue eyes were like a piece of ice that would never melt...... The two looked at each other for a long time, and William finally looked away.
Brunei followed William's eyes and saw the pale yellow cotton robe he was wearing: "Ahem...... I was actually just joking. ”
[That's right. If you want to gain something, you have to lose something, that's the rule. Didn't I tell you a long time ago? Again, the system restlessly said something inexplicable.
“...... Shut up!"
