As for the other spellcasters, Luo Ming also knocked on the side and asked them one by one.

Liz felt like a cultured person at first, but that didn't make her wonder too much.

Being literate doesn't mean that you have to know the caster very well, and in the future, Luo Ming will know that the world's standards for cultural people are actually not so high-

As long as you don't regard the magic of the mage as some evil existence, know that the caster can't just turn people into frogs, roughly understand that there is a mana gap between the high and low level spellcasters, and know how much it costs to get the priest's magic treatment in the local church, then you can already be regarded as "having a certain understanding".

After all, it is generally of little use to learn this knowledge in greater depth for those who do not have the ability to cast spells.

At this moment, Luo Ming was saved by the spell, and fully realized the convenience of translating the spell, so he became more interested.

In Liz's opinion, this is completely understandable.

However, after listening to it, Luo Ming could only pretend that he was really just asking about an interesting matter, and laughed and confused.

In this world, there are actually quite many spellcaster professions, but there are two main ones: mages and priests.

Other than that, the number of druids is estimated to be less than one-thirtieth that of a mage or priest, and perhaps even less.

There are many other classes that can cast spells, and even the number of druids is not as high.

By the way, although Liz herself is a quick starter, she is still a druid, but there are only three other druids she has seen in her life, and as for the priest, there are them in this town.

Those spellcaster classes that are complex but small in number are either super difficult to learn and even have a limited lineage (such as Warlock), or they are very weak and have little room for improvement.

As for the two main streams, the mage and the priest, neither one is suitable for the current Luo Ming.

In ancient times, there was a saying that people who practiced martial arts must eat meat every day, spend money to hire masters, and pay for guns, bows, and horses;

And those who study Chinese can ask others to borrow books and practice writing on the sand, as long as there is an economic level at home that allows a person to study without much labor.

The mages of this world have much higher requirements for economic level than martial arts.

A practitioner has to learn a lot of all kinds of knowledge just to get started, and that is not the level of reading a book for the imperial examination and then practicing writing articles all day long, but comparable to the four-year college career on modern earth.

A mage who can teach apprentices will have no less status than a professor on Earth, and he will be a lot of money if he moves his mouth.

The apprentice needs to drink medicine and do many experiments to understand the use of magic and the basic principles of magic.

This process has changed several times over the millennia, and now it's almost unsavable, but the rest is still expensive.

On the earth, a university in China, the tuition fee is tens of thousands of yuan in four years, and some majors cost tens of thousands of dollars a year.

This is also because Chinese universities are public, and it is not surprising that American universities spend tens of thousands of dollars a year.

Occasionally, of course, there is the possibility that someone is so talented that a mage will be willing to waive their tuition fees to teach them – but at the cost of having to work for the teacher for a long time after completing the course.

After all, unless this mage really lacks a personal disciple who can inherit the mantle, he must have accepted apprentices for profit, not to open a good hall.

If it is enough to pay off the tuition fees owed before, then this teacher is already a rare good person, and in fact, he has to pay back three times or five times more.

If you look at the craftsman industry, you will know that this is not surprising - in the process of learning the craft, no matter how much work is done, the master only covers food and housing and does not pay the salary.

As for slipping away, the average craftsman knows to keep an eye on the apprentice, and if he dares to escape, he will be beaten to death.

For mages, they probably don't mind killing apprentices who try to escape, or selling them as rare "magic apprentice slaves", or using them for their own experiments......

There is no legislation in this world to protect apprentices, at most to the extent that they "cannot be killed for no reason", but apprentices have to sign a harsh contract that is almost a deed of sale.

It's scary to think about for an earthling in the 21st century.

The other path is to be a pastor, which also requires a lot of time to learn and train, but it is much cheaper than a practitioner.

It can be said that the priest's divine art is to offer a devout faith to the gods and make a certain contribution, and the gods will give the divine magic.

Relatively speaking, magic is relatively fixed and mature, not as varied as magic, and it is less laborious to learn.

During the time when the mage apprentices were experimenting, the priests and apprentices were usually studying, memorizing sacred scriptures, or participating in less expensive practical activities - such as soup kitchens, bread distribution, helping in the temple, or researching local beliefs.

As a result, pastors' tuition fees are relatively low, and sometimes churches don't charge money at all, which is equivalent to an investment.

When you are successful in your studies and become a full-fledged pastor who can use magic, you can go on a missionary and evangelize and gradually increase the power and influence of the church.

Magical services can also be provided to those in need - for money, of course, and some of this money has to be handed over to the organization.

In short, after a few years or decades, the church will always recoup its costs or even make an extra profit.

It seems that the priest is much closer to the people, but Luo Ming can't meet one of the first conditions: a devout belief in a god.

Of course, it is not that he has lived in China on the earth for a long time, and he has no faith, in fact, there are so many hundreds of millions of Chinese people who pray to God and worship Buddha.

This world believes that gods can really get spells, and gods really exist, and even occasionally manifest spirits.

Even from the most firm materialist point of view, it can be interpreted as "God is a kind of existence with extremely high technology, and believers provide it with beliefs and benefits, and it also uses the help of what is called divine magic, and it is equivalent to a commodity economy."

Simply worshipping God, or even paying money to the temple to pray for God's blessing, Luo Ming will not be disgusted.

But it is troublesome to open one's heart and pray to the gods of this world, who are said to be able to hear the hearts of every sufficiently devout believer......

It must be very pious to be able to obtain divine magic, since the god can hear it, won't it reveal the identity of the traverser?

Will the gods treat him as a rare animal, a strange plaything, or will they simply slice and search for souls?

Luo Ming has seen it before, and in some stories, people from other worlds are directly regarded as "demons outside the sky" and shouted and killed.

Just thinking about it is a headache.
