Chapter 447: The Mark of the Times

Although the Tower of a Thousand Laws is located on the Apis Mountain, there is a large flat land in the center of this mage city, and there are a large number of low-rise buildings for the families, workers, and servants who depend on the Tower of a Thousand Laws. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the same time, it is also a paradise for young magicians in the Tower of a Thousand Laws, and when it is time to take a rare break, a brief liberation from the busy life of the Mage Tower, you can enjoy entertainment in this town.

The Twilight Star Bar, which is said to have been built in the most standard elven style by a mage who once entered the elven kingdom of Eternal Gathering Island, is full of unique exotic atmosphere and a transcendent atmosphere, and is very popular with the magicians of the Tower of a Thousand Laws.

Of course, the price of any item here is not that cheap, and only the best young mages who can be appreciated by their mentors are allowed to enter and leave the Twilight Star Bar.

As a result, the Twilight Bar is often filled with a handful of casual customers, but on this night, the lobby of the bar is filled with a table full of eight people, all of whom look very young magicians, five men and three women, and the center of the conversation is a tall man with silver-gray hair, he is about thirty years old, wearing a magic robe with a high collar and gold rim and special intricate patterns on the cuffs.

"Chief Diesel, congratulations on successfully defeating eighty-five competitors and winning this year's 'Thousand Laws Rising Star Award', which is an extremely rare honor, the three hundred and twelve Thousand Laws Rising Star Award winners in all history, at least have achieved magic masters!" A young and beautiful blonde female magician sitting opposite him raised the wine glass in his hand, which was filled with ice-blue Wanyue Rose wine, a high-end wine that helped magicians regain their spiritual power, and was very valuable.

"That's right, Chief Diesel represents our Rune Tower, and in this Thousand Laws Nova Competition, he defeated the chief of the other three towers and won the championship, this is the glory of our Rune Tower!" The man sitting on Diesel's left hand side hurriedly followed: "I'm afraid Chief Diesel will soon complete the promotion of the Master Certificate, graduate from the Rune Tower, and go to the top of the Snow Mountain to receive the teachings of the legendary spellcaster, right?"

Seven of his companions raised their glasses, all of them silver-gray haired men, friends of Diesel Diesel, the chief student of the Runeta, who had gathered to celebrate Diesel's victory in the triennial "Rising Stars of a Thousand Laws" competition.

Diesel is usually a very calm person who never says a word unless necessary, but at this moment he also had a shallow smile on his face, and after he and several companions drank a glass of wine together, he said with a reserved expression: "That's right, I have reached the last moment to challenge the master's certificate, Mentor Anthony is more satisfied with my spell design ideas for this competition, and I am also about to leave the Rune Tower and go to the scroll tower where Mentor Anthony is for the next step of learning!"

"Oh my God, 'Erudito' Anthony is the Speaker of the Council of Tirisfar, the strongest magician in the entire Tower of a Thousand Laws after the two Legendary Excellencies! Diesel you really look like you're going to take off this time!" Another young girl's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Diesel with a look of adoration: "Chief Diesel you are amazing!"

"I'm afraid by the next time we see you, you'll be a new master of magic, and in a few years, you'll be a legendary spellcaster!"

Although the praise of the friends made Diesel a little fluttery, he did not get carried away, he waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet: "I am not the best young magician in the Tower of a Thousand Laws, a young female magician in the Tower of Wisdom has just been promoted to a magic master and has become the fifth magic master of the Formation School!"

"Huh, who is it?" The mage profession does not require much physical strength and hand-to-hand combat, but relies more on wisdom and magic, so the proportion of women in the profession is very high, but even so, among the high-level and above magicians, the proportion of women is only just over one-fifth.

Therefore, every female magic master, even in a magical holy place like the Tower of a Thousand Laws, is very concerned, and every high-level magician who is expected to break through the master's certificate has countless people's expectations and eyes.

"Christine Philippe, the daughter of Archduke Philip, she is only twenty-two years old, and she was just promoted to the six-ring magician a year ago!" Diesel spread his hands helplessly: "I know the news, about ten months ago, Christine left the Tower of a Thousand Laws to go to the Santa Estamba to serve as the head of the mage, but I didn't expect her to complete the challenge of the master's certificate so quickly, it is really a sudden rise!"

Everyone looked at each other, although the competition in the Tower of a Thousand Laws is very fierce, and many magicians will fall into insomnia and find it difficult to sleep without even using drugs, but few people will choose to leave the Tower of a Thousand Laws on their own initiative, even if they are forced to leave, they are reluctant, because it is difficult for them to set foot in this haunting city of mages again in their lifetimes.

In the eyes of the magicians of the Tower of a Thousand Laws, apart from here, the whole world can be said to be a magical desert, even if it is the Royal Academy of Magic or the University of Copenhagen, it can only be regarded as an oasis in the desert.

It is really a little strange that Christine, a person who took the initiative to leave the Tower of a Thousand Laws, could still complete the challenge of the Master's Certificate in such a short time.

"Hey, after all, she is the daughter of Archduke Philip, who is the supreme leader of the Spanya region and one of the top five people in the empire!" said the last girl with a long face and a pointed chin disdainfully, "Compared to those of us who have nothing but magic and hard work, they have everything!"

The mage profession does not look at blood, in fact, most of the caster bloodlines are warlocks.

Although the list of spells for a Warlock is not as wide as that for a Mage, the difficulty of a Warlock casting spell is much lower than that of a Mage, and the difficulty of advancing to a key class level depends more on the bloodline itself, with personal study and hard work being secondary.

This is also the key reason why many high-level magicians are young, and most of the high-level magicians are middle-aged and elderly figures.

Therefore, most of the noble spellcasters are bloodline warlocks, and the proportion of people who are really willing to sink their hearts and study magic is not high, and most of the members of the Tower of a Thousand Laws are from civilian backgrounds, and the eight people at this table have no surnames.

"In any case, Christine is already a true master of magic, and she is ahead of us, enough to earn our respect!" Diesel still said a fair assessment: "The challenge of the Master's Credential is not simply to rely on external objects or others, she must have comprehended her own power!"

The friends were silent, and after a long time, the beautiful sorceress, who had spoken at the beginning, chuckled: "Let's change the subject, Chief Diesel is about to leave the Rune Tower and go to the Book Tower to receive instructions from Lord Anthony, this is great news worth celebrating!"

So the wine table was lively and happy again, and everyone sincerely congratulated Diesel.

At this moment, a flash of white lightning suddenly passed through the door of the Twilight Star Bar and rushed directly above Diesel's head, the lightning dissipated, and a thick book with a bright star cover fell into Diesel's hand.

This flash of lightning caught the attention of the entire Twilight Bar, and Diesel sensed a message on the lightning and explained to the group, "It's a book that my mentor gave me!"

After the others turned their eyes, Diesel whispered, "It's a book sent to me by Mentor Anthony, let me read and study it carefully during this time!"

All the friends are full of envy, jealousy and hatred, Chief Diesel has not yet gone to the Book Tower, His Excellency Anthony has actually begun to take the initiative to send books, this is not just the relationship between ordinary students and teachers, it is likely that in the near future, Chief Diesel will become a disciple of the "Polymado" Anthony!

"Let's take a look at it too! I'd love to see what this book is about!" a chubby magician with glasses craned his neck.

Diesel was silent for a moment, but finally agreed: "This book is called "Arcane", a strange name, does it have anything to do with Arcane Crystal?"

Diesel spreads out the entire book and places it on the table with its back side up.

The cover, the spine and the galaxy on the back are connected together, and the silver stars are dotted in the dark blue starry sky, shining, and if you look closely, the galaxy is flowing, the stars are moving, it is almost like the stars in the sky are engraved on the cover of the book!

The holographic projection technology belongs to Xiwei's reinterpretation of the magic principle in the world of Orrente, and it is also a new initiative, even these high-level students of the Tower of Thousand Laws have never seen it, and it is amazing.

"This star map is real! The brightest thing in the center of this is the main material plane where the Oronte plane is located! Look, above is the Silver Moon, and this should be the closest plane to Oronte, the Land of Ten Thousand Beasts!"

The chubby magician stepped forward with an excited face, his finger pointing at the star map, and telling almost all the corresponding stars and planes.

However, with his knowledge, he could only find a tenth of the stars, but even this part is enough to verify that this star map is what the real world looks like.

"That's a big deal!" said the pretty girl.

In the star chart on the cover, dense dotted stars form the two large characters "Arcane", which are constantly changing slightly, just like two real constellations, and a sense of loftiness comes to the face.

Diesel sat upright, and solemnly turned the first page of the book in his hand, and the first preface to the Arcane appeared in front of him.

No one urged Diesel to skip the sequence, apparently they were shocked by the extravagant virtual star map just now.

The second shock soon appeared, and a trembling sharp voice suddenly sounded: "Victor Hugo, is that Victor Hugo?"

"That's right, there is only one Victor Hugo in the wizarding world, and that is His Excellency the Lord of Change!" Diesel said, even if he is a magician who thinks highly of himself, he will never underestimate a legendary magician who has created the School of Change and reached the pinnacle of magicians.

In this preface, Victor Hugo spoke highly of "Arcane" and the concept of arcane, and also recognized and placed high hopes on the creator Sivi.

Although Diesel was not clearly aware of this, it did not prevent him from having a preliminary curiosity about the mage Sivi Frost.

Generally speaking, a preface to a book is sufficient, so when Diesel turned to the second page and it was still a preface, his brow furrowed, who was qualified to write a preface to this book with His Excellency the Fifth Law?

He soon had an answer, and a familiar name appeared at the end: "Didella", the name of Her Excellency the "Empress of Constructed", who was more familiar with the legend who was still in the Tower of a Thousand Laws than the Lord of Change!

The preface of the two title legends obviously shocked the friends at the table, and when they saw the opening message written by Xiwei, they were even more serious and accepting.

Although everyone has not fully accepted and agreed with the arcane concept proposed by Xiwei for the time being, their chests are filled with an inexplicable excitement, touched and shocked by the grand blueprint and bright future revealed between the lines.

For a while, the entire bar was quiet, and eight high-achieving students of the Tower of Thousand Laws got together and began to read and appreciate the book "Arcane" in earnest.

And the content of this book definitely did not disappoint them, and each of the twenty-one papers was so wonderful that people couldn't help but want to shoot it.

For the hilarious layman, Arcane is nothing more than a very interesting storybook that opens up the knowledge of the human mind, but for the eight high-ranking magicians of the Rune Tower, each essay is so thought-provoking.

Moreover, the authors of these papers are all famous, and Diesel has also seen the names of Lord Dedeira, Mentor Anthony, and several other senior magic masters of the Tower of a Thousand Laws.

The magicians' reading ability and memory ability are very perverted, and Diesel flipped through it quickly, turning to the last page in a quarter of an hour, but it was enough for everyone present to imprint every word of the book in their minds.

"I'm sorry, I have to go back to the lab right away, Master Sylvie Frost's "Five Theorems of Spell Models - Exploration of the Application of the School of Protection" is very inspiring for my master's proof!" Diesel picked up the Arcane in his hand and stood up with a serious face.

"Farewell, then!" Everyone knows how important inspiration is to magicians, and although they really want to hold this "Arcane" and see it for themselves, they can only watch Diesel leave. (To be continued.) )
