Chapter 161: The Direction of Truth
"What compensation?"
Perot glanced at Mel and said, "The Council won't treat you badly, but you're only a first-class magician now, so it's not in your favor to give you too much wealth." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Maier, let me ask you a question first, have you thought about your future direction?"
Maier was stunned for a moment and said, "What does Sir mean?"
"The path of a mage is long, from the beginning of the magic apprentice, to the junior magician, the intermediate magician, the senior magician, and then the legendary magician. β
"When apprenticed in magic, we only need to meditate according to the established meditation method, rely on the accumulation of magic to move to the next level, and can also use the help of potions. β
"It's similar when you're a junior mage, it's a little more difficult to get promoted than when you're a magic apprentice, but after all, there's not much difference, and at this time, depending on the preferences of different mages, some elemental factions may be divided. β
"Those who are keen on the fire element are called fire mages, and their counterparts are water mages, earth mages, wind mages, and other combined factions. β
"However, the essence of this faction is not very different, the elements in the mage's body can be replaced, and the built magic model can also be replaced, and it takes a certain amount of time to change factions, but it is not an impossible thing to happen. β
"When it comes to intermediate magicians, especially sixth-level magicians, this kind of faction that relies on elements to divide is not very obvious, because sixth-level magicians have a total of thirty-six magic slots. β
"There are enough mana slots to cover the magic of all elemental systems. β
"And once you become a sixth-level magician, it's time to think about how to be promoted to a high-level magician, this threshold is different from all the previous thresholds. β
"To be promoted to a high-level magician, one needs to understand the truth. β
Maier frowned slightly, and said, "Understanding the truth?"
Pero nodded, "Maybe this is a little too early for you, but since you can come up with that way to optimize the magic model, I think you should be able to accept what I'm going to say." β
"Our world is made up of all kinds of matter, and then it works according to its own laws, and it is these laws that keep our world in order. β
"The magic we use is also one of them, and magic is a way for us to apply magic after we have explored the laws of magic. β
"In addition to this, there are all sorts of ways to take advantage of the laws of other substances. β
"I don't know if you know anything about alchemy, but you can see that in addition to magic, there are also many alchemy products in the hands of ordinary people, which have given great help to people's lives. β
And this is precisely because of the alchemists' use of the laws of nature. β
"A long time ago, we didn't study the truth so seriously, and the promotion of intermediate mages to senior mages was more due to some kind of coincidence, or accumulation. β
But now, the way we search for truth has been divided into several directions. β
"The first type, the alchemist, mainly explores the laws of some natural objects and natural phenomena, and discovers their essence by summarizing these laws, and makes use of them. β
"The second, scholars, mainly study the history of the world and the laws of change in the natural environment. β
"The third type, the astrologer, is mainly interested in observing the distribution of the stars, the interactions between the stars, and the predictions brought about by the behavior of the stars, so that they can predict the future. β
"The fourth, the biological observer, studies a wide variety of organisms. β
Maier nodded slightly and thought for a moment, the division of the secret path is actually very similar to the division of disciplines in his previous life, but here, it is not so finely divided.
Alchemist is equivalent to a combination of physics and chemistry, and if it is placed in the applied disciplines, it is a variety of more subdivided disciplines such as mechanics, automation, chemistry, etc.
Scholars are a combination of history and geography.
Astrologer, this is a bit difficult to determine, and it is a bit similar to the work of a weather station.
The observer of the creature is obviously a creature.
Perot paused for a moment and said, "Which one do you think you would be more interested in, Meier?"
Maier shook his head, nodded again, and said, "Judging from the description of the sir, I may find the alchemist more interesting, but I can't be sure if it's just a few words. β
"And I'm not at the point of choice yet, so in the future, because of certain things, I may have other choices after learning more about these things. β
Perot frowned and said, "If that's the case, then you won't be able to get the compensation from the council immediately, originally the council wanted to directly give you membership in these organizations." β
Maier pondered for a moment and said, "Sir, can I ask what this so-called membership does?"
"It should be quite useful, because these organizations are brought together because they have the same research direction, so they often share some of their experiences within the organization. β
"And the relationship between the members of the group is more intimate than that of other magicians, and if you encounter something you don't understand, someone will always be willing to answer you. β
Of course, this answer may or may not be paid. β
"And because most of the members of these organizations are high-level magicians, and only a small number of relatively good middle-level magicians can join them, so for you as a junior magician, you can imagine what it does for you. β
Maier secretly said in his heart: This is actually a kind of elite organization, a small group of elites standing in a certain industry organize together, share resources, and help themselves get started, and it is difficult for people outside the organization to get started.
It may sound a bit selfish, but it's a normal thing, and it's inevitable in any era, because it's a biological instinct.
Then joining these organizations is a very beneficial thing for yourself, which greatly expands your network of contacts and spreads resources all at once.
Although the vast majority of people in it may not pay much attention to themselves, if there are exceptions, it is a gain.
Moreover, just those resources that have been shared are already treasures for themselves, enough that they don't need to be too confused before becoming a sixth-level magician.
It's much better than paying for a class from an intermediate or advanced magician.
"Sir. Maier raised his head and said, "I have decided, I choose the Alchemist Guild." (To be continued.) )
