Chapter 16 Gathering Like (2)
It has to be said that Jiang Zhe was satisfied with everything in Reox, whether it was the majestic castle or the facilities with a long history in the castle, including their residence, the tower on the west side.
Although the light is a little bad because it is the ground floor, the 'lighting' in the room solves this problem very well, and when it is called lighting, it is because it is the countless stars on the ceiling that shine - if nothing else, it is just a mural.
"Cast a spell!" Staring at the stars above for a long time, Scott finally came to a conclusion, although his conclusion had no value in Jiang Zhe's eyes.
Their dormitories were large, consisting of several rooms, a bedroom, a living room, a washroom, and even a study - for the magicians' apprentices to study magic.
Glancing at the gray-white sheepskin blanket spread on the ground, and then at the few bookcases in the corner, Jiang Zhe was a little puzzled: Before coming in, didn't you find that this room was so big?
Out of doubts in his heart, Jiang Zhe walked out and measured the distance visually, indeed, from the outside, it was only the size of a room.
Glancing at Jiang Zhe who walked in from outside the door, Scott pushed his eyes and said affirmatively, "It seems that he used the magic of space folding, a great magician-level spell......"
Jiang Zhe nodded in agreement, and was about to say something, when a complaining word came from the side.
"I said guys, please don't let me not exist, okay?"
Alan Scander, Jiang Zhe's other roommate, a roommate who doesn't look normal......
Frowning and glancing at Allen, Scott sighed and said to Jiang Zhe, "Soth, what did Ms. Tilda say?"
Jiang Zhe shrugged his shoulders and said, "Politely declined our request!"
"That must be why you called him Miss Tilda......"
"So you're going?"
"Well...... Forget it!" After thinking about it, Scott still chose to give up. He was originally a person who was calmly almost cold, and he came from a big family, and it was not his choice to flatter such things.
"Hey, I said guys, we are also in the same dormitory, so we don't need this, right?" Allen, who was about the same age as Jiang Zhe and Scott, reluctantly reminded his roommate of his existence again.
"Can you put on your clothes first?" Scott, who was born in the upper echelons of the empire, was a little unaccustomed to it.
"Good, good!" Alan surrendered, walked over to the bed in the bedroom, picked up a set of magician's apprentice clothes and put them on—the one that was issued to every student by Reochs Academy.
Maybe this guy is really a talkative master, I saw that he was wearing clothes while still chattering: "To be honest, I didn't want to come to Reoks, I wanted to go to the Imperial Royal Knight Academy, but the old guy didn't say a word, and directly asked someone to tie me up here......" As he spoke, he patted his not strong body, and said with a smile, "The Empire should be sorry for this, because they lost a future great knight." ”
The Great Knight refers to a powerful knight, which means that the Great Magician is almost the same, but in terms of strength and respect, the two are not at the same level at all: the Great Knight, at best, is only the leadership of the Knights, where can it be compared with the Great Magician?
"It's not that we've seen the wrong room, it's that you've come to the wrong academy?" Scott said with a hint of mockery, "but the Royal Knight Academy doesn't accept everyone, ...... like you," said this, and his voice slammed as he saw that Alan had lifted the long table in the living room with only one hand, and he looked very relaxed.
It's a long table, if Jiang Zhe comes, I'm afraid he may not be able to lift it up with the strength to eat, but that guy only uses one hand......
"Like me?" Alan smiled as he looked at Scott, who had nothing to say.
This guy looks thin, I didn't expect him to have so much strength? Jiang Zhe looked straight, stunned for a while, and said in a strange tone, "It seems that you are really wronged when you come here......
"Bang!" the long table was lowered, and Alan said with a regretful tone, "Who's to say it's not?" I thought about sneaking away, but unfortunately, the old guy sent a few people to stare at me, but it's a pity that ......" said, he smiled and said mysteriously, "Actually, I've figured it out, there's nothing wrong with coming to Riox, you know, guys, I've thought of a way out again?"
"Oh?" Not to mention Jiang Zhe, even Scott was a little curious, pushed his eyes and said, "Let's hear it!"
I saw Alan laugh twice, and said word by word, "I want to be a battle mage!"
"Battle mage?" Jiang Zhe twitched the corner of his eye, turned to Scott and said, "Is this any different from a mage?"
"It doesn't make a difference!" Scott gave Alan a roll of his eyes and changed into his own magic robes.
"Wrong, wrong, how can there be no difference?" Seeing the two roommates looking at him with strange eyes, Alan was a little anxious and defended, "Magicians focus on magic, and battle mages focus on fighting......"
"What's the matter, don't listen to his nonsense!" Seeing Jiang Zhe's puzzled expression, Scott said with a sneer.
"How can it be nonsense?"
"It's just your speculation, I've never heard a mage or a battle mage understand it that way!" Scott had already classified Alan into one of those people with abnormal heads.
However, Jiang Zhe was a little curious, and while changing into his magic robe, he asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
Seeing that there was finally an audience, Alan seemed to be very proud, hehe laughed twice, and said in a deep tone, "After encountering the enemy, first give yourself a 'brute bull power', then give yourself a 'wind power', and then ......"
"Then ......" Jiang Zhe licked his lips.
"Then he rushed up, punched him left and right, and hit him so that he didn't even recognize his old guy!"
"......" Jiang Zhe was dumbfounded, and he was stunned for half a minute before he came back to his senses, and said strangely, "This is the battle mage?"
"yes, what do you think of my idea?" asked Alan excitedly.
"Very good......
"I told you not to believe his nonsense," Scott, who was already dressed in magic robes, sneered, "Let's go, Soth, it's rude to be late......
Shrugging his shoulders and tying the strap of his neckline, Jiang Zhe looked down at himself.
Apprentice Magician?
"Let's go, Scott!"
"Hey, wait for me, guys!"
-----------------------------
Reochs is a magical academy with a long history, which has taught countless magicians, and even two great magicians, of course, for now, this is history.
But it is undeniable that the strength of the Reoks School of Magic is very strong, and it can be said that it is the guarantee of the future of the empire.
Eleven of Reochs' professors are professors with Grand Mage certificates, eight of them stay in the school to teach, three go out to study their own academic magic, and in addition, there are several professors who are close to the strength of Grand Mage.
Compared to the academy where Salonia teaches white mages, it is not inferior.
In recent decades, both the Empire and the Holy See have focused on the cultivation of magicians, and the Empire has not hesitated to allocate a huge amount of money to Reox every year, just to strengthen the magic power in the country, even if it is just a group of magician apprentices now, who knows what kind of existence it will become in the future?
The Empire is a human power, but it is not the only human state...... This is what the Sassen kings have wanted to do but have not been able to do - the iron hooves of the royal knights, and the mighty black magicians, who have been hindered by the white magicians of Salonia several times.
And it is precisely because of the strong support of the empire that Reoks can enroll Jiang Zhe with a set of rhetoric.
Because the Reox Academy itself is not short of money, but some of the great magicians in the academy are a little worried that the academy will gradually be subject to the empire.
But in any case, for Jiang Zhe, this matter is too far away, all he cares about is whether he can become a magician, and how to repay the five hundred gold coins owed to Ruiox a year ago as agreed......
The banquet was held in a large hall in the ancient castle, to be honest, this hall is indeed very large, according to Jiang Zhe's eyes, I am afraid that this place can accommodate thousands of people, does Reox really have thousands of magic apprentices?
The answer is yes!
The first-year seat was on the side of the wall, Jiang Zhe picked an inconspicuous corner and sat down, and Scott, who was not away from the book, looked at him suspiciously, as if he had found something interesting, and sat down on his left.
But Alan was a little puzzled, and whispered, "I said, guys, why do you pick an inconspicuous place, isn't it nice there?" and he gestured to the tables in the middle.
"Then there you go!" said Scott, who was turning the pages.
"What about you, buddy?" Alan asked Jiang Zhe.
"I don't like to be busy, it's quieter here......" Jiang Zhe's answer made Scott smile slightly.
"Okay......" said helplessly, and Alan sat down weakly on Jiang Zhe's right, "Oh, by the way, my name is Alan Scander, just call me Allen......"
"Scott!"
"Soth!"
"Okay, then we know each other, by the way, have you figured out what subject to major in?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Zhe was shocked and asked softly, "What disciplines are there, and are there any restrictions?"
Glancing at the embarrassed Allen, Scott knew that this guy didn't know, smiled faintly, and said, "As far as I know, Reokes does not restrict students from choosing which type of subject, as long as they reach the rated number of credits in the annual assessment, as for the subjects, I only know curses, prophecies, illusions, pharmacy, enhancements, summoning, enchantments, defense, attacks, magic history, and body control...... Soth, what are you going to major in?"
"Aggressive!" Jiang Zhe shrugged, he was an 'output' existence when he played games in his previous life, "What about you, Scott?"
"Hmm...... I'm interested in illusions and curses and prophecies!"
Seeing that the two didn't mention himself in the conversation, Alan said strangely, "Guys, don't you want to ask me?"
"What's there to ask?" Scott sneered, "I think you're going to choose strengthening, right? Battle Mage?"
"Wrong!" Allen's words made Scott a little stunned, of course, just for a moment, "I still have to choose healing! I'm going to be a full-fledged knight, ah no, a full-fledged battle mage!"
Looking at his smug appearance, Scott knocked him back to his original form with a word, "It's a pity, dark magic is not good at healing, you can go to Salonia to study this science!"
"Huh?" Listening to Scott's words, Jiang Zhe had some doubts, "Do you mean that black magicians can't heal?"
Seeing that it was Jiang Zhe who asked, Scott's tone was much kinder, and he shook his head and explained, "That's not it, the attacking black magic includes blue magic, that is, natural magic, of which the water system has a healing effect, of course, it is not comparable to the white magic of the Holy See at all, except for this, the average black magician relies on drug treatment, so pharmacy is a subject that a black magician must choose......"
"Didn't you say there are no restrictions, and there are subjects that you have to choose, and those are the ones that you have to choose?"
"Well, generally speaking, defense, pharmacy, and history of magic must be chosen, and then it depends on the individual, whether to learn offensive spells like you do, or choose illusions, prophecies, and curses like me...... In fact, curse is also a very powerful offensive magic, as well as summoning, enchanting, ...... Of course, you can also choose to strengthen like that battle mage, in general, that's probably it, oh, by the way, the offensive black magic is actually almost blue magic, and there are many classifications of green magic, I advise you to choose one for the time being!"
"Is it like fire, water, wind, or something?"
"Yes!"
"Then the fire system!"
"Hmm, I thought you'd choose the earth-based ......."
"Why?" Jiang Zhe was puzzled.
"Generally speaking, mages will choose the earth system, because there are some spells in the earth system that can be used to summon, you know that mages are very fragile......" As he was saying, Scott glanced at Alan and changed his words, "Most mages are very fragile, even if they are just a stone man, they can protect the life of the mage to a large extent......"
Stroking his chin and nodding his head, Alan asked suspiciously, "You know a lot, man!"
Glancing at Allen, Scott said lightly, "The key to a magician's achievement lies in the amount of knowledge, not a strong body......"
Alan was about to retort when the hall suddenly fell silent—the students were almost all there.
At this time, a group of professors from the academy came to the door of the hall, but the old magician who walked in front made Jiang Zhe a little puzzled.
He ...... Who is he?"
"The headmaster of Reochs, the esteemed archmage Greed Keynes, is said to be a saint-level magor, "As if thinking of something interesting, Scott whispered, "You've seen it, it's ...... outside the academy."
"You say ......"
"yes, didn't you still talk to him at the time?"
"He's the headmaster?"
"Yes!"
...... "I thought it was a professor in the academy, Jiang Zhe was a little embarrassed, glad that he didn't make any rude moves.
Just when Jiang Zhe was stunned, Scott seemed to see something, pushed Jiang Zhe with his elbow and said, "It seems that I am right, you are afraid that you have provoked some boring nobles......"
The puzzled Jiang Zhe glanced at Scott's line of sight, just in time to see the blonde boy in the same car, who was 'intimidating' himself with vicious eyes, and not far from him, the red-haired girl looked at him with a look that was not very friendly.
"It doesn't matter," Jiang Zhe smiled faintly and said, "I care more about what magic I can learn tomorrow than this......
"Magic?hehe," Scott smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I said, the history of ancient magic is a compulsory subject, according to Reoks's previous arrangement, we must keep this ...... in mind for a week starting tomorrow" He closed the book in his hand, and Jiang Zhe noticed that the words "Introduction to Magic" were written on the cover.
"A week?" Jiang Zhe frowned, then shrugged and said, "It's a pity, but it's only a week......
Looking at Jiang Zhe's relaxed appearance, Scott shook his head and said, "Well, maybe I wasn't specific enough, the premise of a week is that you have to pass this assessment......"
"What if it doesn't work?" asked Alan in a low voice.
"There's nothing that can't be passed," looking at Jiang Zhe and Allen, Scott said lightly, "Either pass the assessment or leave Reoks, it's as simple as that!"
"You didn't say anything so important until now, you're too cunning, aren't you?" the future battlemage scratched in displeasure.
Jiang Zhe was dumbfounded.
Damn! Even here, do I still have to memorize textbooks? I hate memorizing textbooks more than I hate milk!
Forget it, for the magic you yearn for, just carry it......
Glancing at the book, which was about half a knuckle thick, Jiang Zhe sighed softly, "It's a bit much, but hurry up, it should be a ...... that can be done" As he spoke, he saw that Scott's expression was a little strange.
"Soth, I think you may have misunderstood," I saw Scott put the book in his hand on the table, pointed to the lower right corner of the book, and said strangely, "This is the table of contents......"
Table of Contents?Jiang Zhe's eyes widened, looking at the extremely thick book, feeling incredulous.
Before Jiang Zhe could speak, Allen's voice came from beside him, and then looked at his expression, he was even more desperate than Jiang Zhe, "This can't be done!"
"Really?" said Scott lightly, with a deep confidence in his tone.
And at this time, Jiang Zhe hadn't recovered from this blow, and the book that was half a knuckle thick was just a catalog, could this be done by people?
Ignoring the fact that the respected Grand Magician Greed Keynes was giving a eulogy welcoming the new students, Jiang Zhe stared down at the tableware.
If you can't get through, you can't learn magic?
Although it is said that magicians need a strong memory to memorize complex spells, the key is that they are not good at memorization...... Not to mention, it's memorizing a book that interests you in the slightest, even if it's a history of magic, or something important......
It seems that a countermeasure should be thought of......
Do you want to use that trick?
Jiang Zhe pondered.
ps: Hahaha, a very powerful move!
