What is internal friction? It is that everyone wastes a lot of resources to maintain mutual deterrence. It's like building twenty different weapons to put around, and by the way, preparing light, medium, and heavy armor for different situations, completely forgetting the fact that you only have one body and one pair of arms. Deterrence is necessary, but deterrence here at the Academy of Magic has changed its flavor and has become an unlimited internal friction. Since there is no normal flow of time here, no one knows when this internal friction began, but it finally decreased after Siegel's arrival.

The first thing he did was to give everyone the right of way on the second floor after half a month.

By allocating daily questions, so as to distribute points more efficiently, he managed to do this. This included considerable negotiation and communication, but without threats and compromises. His efforts – and of course the invisible threat of the bug-and-orc-killer duo – made everyone finally willing to try and begin to rebuild trust, if only fragile one.

The benefits are clear. The first is that everyone has finally started to communicate, both academically and in life. Although everyone is annoyed by the chatty gnomes, they are mainly welcome to this change. Exchange brings exchange, especially when it comes to spells, spells, and spell-casting techniques. While the Great Library can be accessed through the Philosopher's Stone, and while all caster techniques can be viewed on the second floor of the Magic Tower, this is not as helpful as the face-to-face interaction of the Mage. After all, knowledge is dead, but experience is alive.

The method of how to obtain points on the second layer was also discovered, and it was done by the half-dragon man: he found that if he could approach, reach, or surpass the demonstrator's level when casting spells. You can earn points based on the difficulty of spells and techniques. Siegel casts the Elemental Legion. The result is three times the number of summons from the second layer of recorders. He also won 900 points in one fell swoop.

"It's finally right. Siegel scratched his head.

He also told the others about it, without any cover-up. After listening to what he said, the half-dragon mage came over and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a sigh: "You are really an honest person. Since then, the half-dragon has been noticeably more enthusiastic, but only for Siegel.

After discovering this method, the speed of obtaining points per time jumped from an average of a dozen to an average of tens - Siegel obtained nine hundred at a time. But that doesn't mean he can do it every day. This incident has inspired many people, and everyone wants to try to find more ways that are more suitable for them. They all knew that if it weren't for Siegel telling everyone about the tampering of the rules of the Magic Academy, if it weren't for his attempt to unite the forces of everyone and change the atmosphere here, no one would have thought or dared to experiment.

Whether it's the score that is exposed or the caster who keeps a secret hand, a single 900 points is still a daunting record. Unconsciously, Siegel gradually became the kind of mage who was very strong in everyone's hearts - but not many people were willing to admit the word "strongest". Elf Anna kept asking him to try to push the record higher, "so that you can continue to build prestige," she said.

Siegel shook his head. Neither did that nor explained why. In his opinion. As long as your points are positive, enough for self-defense and time rewinding, and then you can meet your own learning needs, then it is enough. He didn't come here to be the "richest" with the highest points. If he has the highest points, then everyone will worry about being abandoned by him, or called cannon fodder to be used. So he thinks it's more important to stay strong in terms of credit, and then through his own efforts, the desired results will eventually be obtained.

As a result, he doesn't often appear on the second floor, and he rarely goes to higher ground. He clearly knew that his current accumulation was only just enough for the level of the third layer, and it was just an accident that he could go to the top layer. He spent most of his energy researching the blueprints of the Magic Academy's Lamp God, the Attendant Lamp God, the Six-Armed Lamp God, and the combined Lamp God. This behavior of his fell in the eyes of others, and it was also considered to be a preparation for serving everyone, so he was highly praised.

Everyone's behavior also gradually changed the environment of the Magic Academy, and a new environmental facility suddenly appeared next to the magic tower. It was a turquoise meadow for gatherings and conversations, dotted with adorable colourful flowers, soft grey mushrooms, and freshly scented freshly cut tree stumps.

Being able to feel comfortable and relaxed sitting on a tree stump here is very beneficial for meditation and contemplation. Siegel spends some time each day sitting here, either reading a magic book or simply being in a daze. It's a sheer waste in terms of efficiency, but it's slowly changing the atmosphere of the entire Academy of Magic.

His failure in the goblin world taught him that he had to unite those who wanted to change before he wanted to make it. On the first day there was no one to accompany him on the grass, and on the second day the gnomes came, but mainly feared for his safety and guarded them, and after a few days he gradually got a taste of it and really joined in. Until now, among the seven surviving cadets, with the exception of orcs and dwarves, they have come to rest on the lawn every day. They stagger their time and rarely gather together, but they create and maintain an atmosphere with this action.

This is a change that he has worked hard to make, and Siegel is a little proud in his heart. But at the same time, he is also well aware that if he does not achieve results in cracking the problem of tampering, the current atmosphere is only illusory and could be shattered at any time. He put a lot of energy into the study of the lamp god, and at the same time dragged others to work together, hoping to solve this problem as soon as possible.

In this regard, Chanem and the Orc Sage could not help at all. Learning to cast magic and mastering magical creations are two completely different realms, so their task is to gather enough points as soon as possible to fight for the sixth layer and see how the problem of the Magical Beast Wild can be solved. The group that studied the god of lights consisted of Siegel and the dwarf Koko, who were on par in magical creation, admired each other, and soon developed a brotherhood.

"My earliest magical items were inspired by gnomes, which led to my first money and a virtuous cycle. Siegel said, "I realized it then. The creative ability and mental activity of the dwarf are very high. It is worth learning more from us as human beings. It's just a pity. Human beings have a strange disease of not being able to see the low, and there is a prejudice that the truth is always in the high. ”

"Actually, it's the same with gnomes," Ke Ke pointed to his legs, "I'm shorter than dwarfs, and I know what you mean." ”

"Is your leg crippled? If not, I can restore it for you. ”

"Thank you, but I'm used to it and don't want to change my current state. If I change my mind, the first thing I think of is to go to you. The dwarf Keke turned over the topic with a slight smile. He looked at the blueprints in his hand. Said to Siegel: "I've been thinking about a question for the past few days, why does the lamp god in this place have to do so complicated?"

Siegel blinked, "I don't understand what you mean. ”

"Well, I'll put it another way. The dwarf thought for a moment and organized his language: "I admit that there are so many magical materials here, even if it is not strange to make a lamp god the size of a dragon. But the original intention of the lamp god is to serve, and it is for mass manufacturing, to help solve repetitive work. The efficiency of making nine of them is much higher than designing a hybrid of nine lights. Especially since it doesn't look like a show off of technology. So I can't understand the original intention of the designer. If I don't understand this, it's hard for me to properly analyze how the lamp god works. ”

This suspicion also crossed Siegel's mind. But he soon left it behind. Now that the dwarf had brought it up again, it had caught his attention again. The design of the minion lamp god is very complex, or overly complex. Siegel's previous cracking of Liel's tampering spell was a completely barbaric way to cut off the attachment area, and it was also a helpless move. He had a concern that if the interconnected parts of each lamp god were cut off, they would lose the ability to perceive each other and merge with each other, would it be a more dangerous tampering?

What if you want to reach the top level and need to merge the Lamp God? This possibility is very high, after all, the only known way to go to the top - in addition to relying on the hard pile of points - is to eliminate everyone else, and then the Lamp God can already merge. After careful consideration, only when we understand the design principle of the lamp god, distinguish which ones are the original designs, which are harmful tamperings, and do not hurt the repair itself, can we start to act.

The obstacle in front of Siegel and others is the complexity of the lamp god, and in many places it is no longer a simple technology, but an art, just like the art academy of the elves. Simple words can make a straightforward essay or a poem that hits the heart directly. As an engineering creation, it is obviously more efficient to lay out the direct narrative, but the lamp god in front of it is like a poem.

Elves like to do this, but it doesn't mean that Shenhuo and the priesthood will do it. Siegel, Chanem, and the Orc Sages know the truth: this is the kingdom of the gods of magic, knowledge, and prophecy. The kingdom of God without sanity has no character, and it stands to reason that artistic effects should not be pursued in this way.

In terms of ability, the kingdom of God does have such a level of knowledge and technology and manufacturing capacity. "For secrecy, perhaps?" the dwarf then shook his head, denying his hypothesis. There are better ways to keep it secret, such as covering it up with a magic circle, or banning dismantling altogether. This is not done here, giving people a temptation to hide it.

"Ke Ke, let's turn our minds around. If we were to think purely of efficiency, how should this lamp god be designed - given their ability to merge and split. Siegel said: "Probably we don't need to figure it all out, just make sure it works, and then think about minimizing collateral damage as much as possible?"

The dwarf pinched his chin and nodded after pondering for a while: "This plan is feasible and a good alternative, but it's a pity that it can't be perfected." ”

"Maximum efficiency doesn't have to be perfect, right?"

"That's what you're saying. The dwarf sighed.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang in the direction of the magic tower, and the lightning of destruction reappeared, and a charred corpse flew down. Chanem was burned to ashes again, and began to reassemble his body in smoke. Maybe he was too greedy, Siegel thought. But before the thought could fall, another figure flew out and fell heavily to the ground.

"It's an orc. The sharp-eyed dwarf said: "You deserve it, two reckless guys, how can the fourth floor be so good?"

"Who can go up to the fourth floor now?" Siegel asked.

"Elves are okay, and half-dragons. The dwarf maybe, he's the kind of guy who doesn't like to communicate, so we can only speculate. Isn't that enough for the other people? ”

Siegel pondered for a moment, and suddenly his face changed. "Oh broke!" he blurted out. (To be continued.) )
