Chapter VIII Grouping

After lunch, Alan rested a little and returned to the Mage Tower.

He had already known the magic of Ice Mirror, and there was no point in studying it again. Although a magic has been studied deeply, it is likely that it has been studied in a very strange and powerful way...... But no matter how powerful the fourth-order magic of the Ice Mirror Technique is, it is very powerful, and Allen's vision is extremely high, for the small magic of the Ice Mirror Technique, he only has the interest of understanding it, and he has no interest in refining it. In addition, he can use some immortal methods to stimulate magic, and its subtlety is not necessarily inferior to those who study magic.

Of course, although he is not interested in studying ice mirroring, Eren will not waste time.

There are some things called spirit stones in the mage tower, which are a kind of crystals obtained by converting the energy of the monster crystal nucleus with an energy conversion pool. This crystal can be used to assist meditation when the mage is overconsumed, so as to quickly restore mana, and the effect is hundreds of times stronger than using the Warcraft crystal nucleus. When mages usually cultivate, they can also absorb energy from spirit stones to cultivate, instead of relying on meditation to absorb the free elements in the air.

This kind of spirit stone is very expensive, and a small piece can cost several gold coins. Fortunately, Alan is a senior student of the Academy of Magic, and there is a fixed quota. Thinking that he couldn't waste time, he went to get the two third-order water elemental spirit stones that he hadn't taken in the past half a month, and then went to the meditation room to meditate.

The magic students of the academy can receive a fixed amount of elemental spirit stones, and similarly, as a condition, some magic scrolls and magic arrows made by the students when they do their homework will be collected and sold by the academy, among which the beneficiary academy will get some and the students will get some. After selling something, the academy will declare the money obtained from the sale to the Mage Guild, and the Mage Guild will increase the contribution value to the students according to the amount of money. Wizards with high contribution value can have many rights, such as reading magic books for free in the Magic Guild, etc.

It can be seen that the role of the magic academy and the magic union is to cultivate magicians and maintain the stability of the wizarding world. The same is true of the colleges and trade unions of other professions.

In the past, the original owner of the body used to exchange the elemental spirit stones for magic materials to study and study, but now Alan took the spirit stones and went to meditate and cultivate, which made several people who were familiar with him feel a little surprised. But when they saw Julia, everyone showed a sudden realization...... Alan has been learning magic since he was a child, but now his strength is only a fourth-order intermediate level, Julia only learned magic five years ago, and now the level is also a fourth-order intermediate level, Allen was compared to his cousin, so he naturally felt pressured, so he seized every opportunity to quickly improve his cultivation.

Alan didn't know what everyone was thinking, and he meditated in the meditation room without distractions, quietly absorbing and refining energy.

The spirit stone is the essence of the combination of elemental aura, containing a large amount of elemental power, Alan absorbed it for an hour, and only absorbed about one percent of the energy of the spirit stone, which is still absorbed, and the successful transformation into the true yuan power stored in the body is probably less than one-third of the absorption.

Alan didn't have anything special to do, he was about to meditate until the evening, when suddenly someone knocked on the door outside, and he had to stop practicing.

"What's going on?" said Allen, opening the door to the meditation room.

Ye Daisy shrugged her shoulders: "Mentor Metzny told us all above the fourth order to go to his laboratory, who knows what to do." ”

Alan didn't ask any more questions, packed up his things and followed Daisy to Metzny's lab.

Metzny is one of the ten instructors of the Knicks City School of Magic, responsible for teaching water-based offensive magic, and his own strength is the seventh order, which is the level of the 'Jedi' title.

When Alan and Daisy went to the laboratory, more than a dozen people were surrounding a tall and thin old man, the old man had a withered face, hooked nose, and a very pointed face, giving people the feeling of eagle and wolf. When Alan and Ye Daisy first stepped into the laboratory, his eyes moved slightly, obviously sensing the two of them, but he didn't make any movement, obviously the two of them were not valued by him.

"This old man's strength has reached the seventh layer of qi refining, which belongs to the spiritual silence period, but compared to Pachelaire, who is also the seventh layer of qi refining, it is much worse......" Alan secretly made a judgment.

"Your rank is already very high, but rank does not mean strength. Strength is a combination of level, skill, brains, and impromptu play. The real strength is something that cannot be learned in the academy, and only actual combat can learn 'strength'. Even if you talk about fighting each other, because you are classmates, you won't be a killer. Without the ruthlessness to kill the enemy, without the awareness that you can be killed at any time, you can't become a powerful mage. In order for you to experience your true strength, the academy has taken on some adventurer missions for you. Students who perform well in the mission will be rewarded with a large amount of gold coins and contribution points, and students who do not perform well will be punished. Metzny looked at everyone indifferently, and the cold light in his eyes made everyone dare not look directly, and lowered their heads one by one.

"It's an adventurer's mission again, fight and kill, kill and kill ...... who have no way to make money," Daisy Ye muttered to herself with her head down.

"What are you talking about, Yedsy?" Although Metzny was already in his sixties, his ears were not yet deaf, and he immediately heard Yedaisy's words.

Ye Daisy's body shook when she heard this, and she smiled: "Hehe, hehe...... I'm asking, what exactly is the method used to determine who is doing well and who is not? You know, I'm only good at healing...... Can we do this, everyone divides labor and cooperates, someone is responsible for attacking, someone is responsible for exploring, someone is responsible for defense, and someone is responsible for treatment, to see if everyone plays a role in their respective positions to score?"

"It's nature. Blindly attacking in one go is not bravery, and only when the tactics are right can the strength of the team be brought into play. However, you are all in the growth period now, and over-reliance on tactics will only limit your future development, when the attack, defense, and healing formations will remain the same, but there will be changes in personnel, such as you, I plan to let you be a healer in the first half of the mission, but in the second half you will be a fireman. ”

Metzny's words made Daisy frustrated: "The fireman has no money......"

Metzny ignored her and said to the crowd: "This time I took on two tasks. One is a mission to explore the Nyx sewers. Recently, the bodies of two unbaptized adventurers were stolen from the Knicks Cemetery. These two adventurers were both sixth-order professionals before their deaths, if a high-level dark mage got their corpses, it would be a very tricky matter, they would be refined into very terrifying skeleton warriors! There are too many inhabitants on the ground, and it is very difficult to refine skeleton warriors or corpse witches on the ground, plus I haven't heard any unusual movements recently, so the elders of the adventurer's union think that if the people of the Dark Council steal the bodies of those two adventurers, then there is a good chance of ** Will hide the corpse in the sewers, intending to refine the puppets in the sewers. The first mission was to scout the sewers. Another mission is to clean up the snake nest that has recently appeared outside the city. ”

After a pause, Metzny said, "The first task is more difficult, and the opponent may be a sixth-order professional, so I will personally lead the team. The second task is less difficult, and when the time comes, a hired sixth-order adventurer will take you there. ”

"Mentor Metzny, how do we group up?"

"The strongest ones and I went to do the first mission, and the weaker ones went to the second. Of course, the risks and rewards are equal, and completing the first task will give you more gold and contribution points than completing the second one. Now I'm going to assign the manpower, and those who hear the names will go to the first group. Metzny glanced around and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that everyone was listening to him with bated breath.

Each grade of the Magic Academy is taught according to class hours, and the last batch of students, whether they have reached the fifth rank or not, have already left the academy. Either you successfully graduated and were hired into the law enforcement team of the Magic Guild, or you became an adventurer, or you went to study with a teacher.

Now this batch of students are all newly promoted freshmen, this is their first time on a mission! This task is very important to them, it is a small matter to get gold coins and contribution points for outstanding performance in the mission, and it is a big thing to be noticed by Metzny for a good performance!

Alan is also very interested in this, he has no concept of contribution value, but he cares about gold coins very much! Without gold coins, he can't afford to buy spirit stones for cultivation, and he can't afford to buy spirit beast blood for drawing arrays...... Moreover, he had a faint idea in his heart that he wanted to repay Jenny. If she can be selected for the first group of lists, Jenny will be very pleased.

Metzny also knew what these students were thinking, but he was used to it, and he didn't say anything, and directly and indifferently named him: "Kate...... ...... Blank...... Meisha ......"

Everyone who was called by name showed a more or less honored expression.

Metzny named seven or eight people, and even Julia was named by him. Then he saw Ye Daisy, and hesitated for a long time before he continued to call Ye Daisy's name.

"Alright, so be it. Those who click to the name go into one group, and the rest go into two groups. ”

"Mentor Metzny, can I also enter the first group?" Alan said hurriedly when he saw that he was going to be divided into the second group.

Metsny frowned and looked at Alan, Allen is a person he still knows very well. Although Alan is very hardworking, he, like Daisy, tends to be a therapist...... And Allen's qualifications are a little poor, and he doesn't have a special talent like Ye Daisy, so let such a person enter a group, and other students will have opinions.

Thinking of this, Metzny said: "One group has to carry out the first mission, although the benefits are high, but the risks are also very large. You are the son of Duke Lionheart, and you will definitely have a good future in the future, so you don't have to work so hard now. ”

Metzny had tried to use as euphemism as he could, but Alan was a monk of the Devil's Way, and he had always liked to go straight, and Metzny didn't like it in beating around the bush.

"Mentor Metzny, don't you just think that my strength is too poor and I'm afraid that I won't be able to cope with it? I haven't done anything in the half month I've been recuperating at home, if you're worried about my lack of strength, you can test me personally. Alan said directly.

Metzny was slightly annoyed by Allen's straightforward poking through his heart. He squinted at Allen: "Young man, self-confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is arrogance. You know, the world is very big, and you think you are the pride of the sky, but there are actually many people who are better than you......"

Alan secretly cheered up. Although Metzny is powerful, he is not a vegetarian either, with his current strength, although he can't beat Metzny, but it is no problem to withstand Metzny's several attacks!

Alan thought that Metzny was going to weigh himself personally, but he didn't expect Metzny to turn his head to the side and say, "Kate, you can guide Alan and let him understand why I didn't choose him into the group." ”
