Chapter 30: Dean Manan
The Royal Academy of Magic is located on the edge of the Eastern End, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and was once the summer residence of Her Majesty Queen Lillian, Emperor Sassen VII of the Sassen Empire.
According to the professors of the college, Her Majesty Queen Lillian often went out to visit the civilian areas when she lived in the summer palace to check on the lives of the people.
During the reign of Sassen XIII, the summer palace was donated to become the Royal Academy of Magic, and began to train a large number of talents for the empire.
To this day, the three palaces of the main body of the summer palace are still the research rooms and classrooms of the professors.
From the outside, the four-story stone palace has its walls painted with snow-white lime, and its tall windows are dotted with colorful crystal shards.
Above are layers of pale red tiles like fish scales, emerald green creepers wind on them, and the branches and leaves of ancient trees below are dense and verdant, casting mottled shadows on the stone-paved ground, and the cicadas on the trees are constantly chirping, which is very summery.
Not far from these three palaces, the non-commissioned officer dormitory built decades ago was short and stout, with narrow windows and gray windows, which looked extremely incongruous like toads.
Xia Lin took Wyatt into the Red Palace in the middle, and it was the time for class, but there was no bright and clean classroom in the previous life, and there was no sound of reading aloud.
Some of them are just arranged by the professors in their own research rooms, and the students are a dozen people in the professors' research rooms.
Only large classes such as meditation classes and rune classes, which are taught by Dean Manan himself, will be held in the hall on the first floor.
Familiarly found the dean's room on the top floor, Xia Lin pulled a rope on the door, and soon the door opened.
Xia Lin also saw the target of his trip, a middle-aged man with fluffy hair and calm eyes, who looked to be in his forties, this was the youngest five-ring mage in the history of the Empire, Manan Amos.
At this time, he was sitting at a rather large desk, writing something with a dipping pen, and there were no servants in the room except him, and Xia Lin guessed that he had probably opened the door for himself with the hand of a mage.
"Please come in, guests from the Greg family!"
When Charlin and Wyatt walked into the dean's room, Manan Amos put the dipping pen on the silver pen holder, raised his head to look at the two, and the door behind them closed automatically, and he said with a gentle expression:
"I've heard that someone wants to see me, and it seems that it's you, so son, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Hello, Your Excellency, I am Charlem Carr, this batch of cadet graduates, and this is my retinue Wyath Jaais.
We're here to visit you to show you something I've just researched. ”
Xia Lin gave a mage salute to the dean, who was sitting behind his desk, and introduced himself, and then motioned for Wyatt to open the wooden box he had brought.
"Sergeant? It seems that you are also my student, so please do it, and I will be going to the Golem Department in a while. ”
After a moment of surprise, Dean Manan smiled with interest, as the head of the Royal Academy of Magic, he had never encountered a situation where a sergeant student came to visit, and the name of the visit was actually based on a noble family.
Although he was not particularly interested in what Xia Lin had brought, Dean Manan decided to give him a chance, out of respect for a Viscount family and out of love for his students.
With his master's permission, Wyatt quickly took out two long wooden boards engraved with light runes, a long rope that exuded spell fluctuations, and a stack of white paper from the wooden box.
Looking at these strange things, Dean Manan suddenly frowned, because he didn't find anything worthy of his attention on these things.
"Dean Mannan, these are my research results.
This long rope is a mental power meter that I developed, and I attach a recording technique to the rope at certain distances, which records the distance information.
Let the mage release his mental power to read the information of the recording technique that his mental power can reach the farthest distance, and the mage's spiritual power can be measured.
These two wooden planks are the magic meters I developed, on which are written light runes and isolation runes, and mages can measure the amount of magic power in their bodies by touching this magic copper rune line with their hands.
The last pile of parchment-looking things I made was paper that could be used to write words, draw runes, and spell scrolls, all for just 2 copper peps per piece of paper. ”
Xia Lin saw that Dean Manan didn't seem to see the usefulness of his research results, and carefully introduced it.
"Psychic meters, magic meters, and new paper?"
Originally, I didn't expect anything from these strange things, but after listening to Xia Lin's introduction, Dean Manan became a little interested.
Although most mages don't care about the quantification of mental power and magical power, in fact, the measurement of mental power is very useful.
As the dean of the Academy of Magic, Dean Manan thought casually for a while, and then thought of several uses.
For example, the growth of a mage is first reflected in the progress of spiritual power, if there is a thing that can measure spiritual power, it can make the mage more aware of his own strength.
The Mana Meter can also be used to determine if a mage apprentice has broken through to the first ring, after all, only a mage with a ring will generate self-physical magic in the body.
And if that new paper could really reach the level that Xia Lin said, it would mean a revolution in the wizarding world.
After all, of the 40 copper pebis cost of the zero ring spell scroll, the parchment worth 20 copper pess accounts for half of the head, and the cost of the 80 copper pess of the one-ring spell scroll also accounts for a considerable part.
If this new paper, which only costs 2 copper bis each, does replace parchment, then the Empire can allow the low-ring mages to produce in larger batches, which is also good news for the military mages on the front lines.
"The things you brought are interesting, it seems that you haven't wasted my time, please show me those things!"
Realizing this, Dean Manan's expression became a lot more cautious, and he beckoned to Wyatt.
Wyatt hurriedly put everything on the desk, and Dean Manan picked up the stack of papers first.
He first rubbed it and realized that the quality of the paper was indeed good, and then Dean Manan followed his perception and looked through the examples of runes and spell models drawn under the stack of papers.
The spiritual power nodes on it were all clear and palpable, and only then did they believe Xia Lin's words.
This made Dean Manan look at Xia Lin, who had a childish face, in amazement, it was really amazing that a newly graduated sergeant, that is, at the age of only fifteen, could come up with such research results.
Then he looked at the Mental Power Meter and the Mana Power Meter, the Spirit Power Meter had nothing to say, it was just that a string had a recording technique attached to it, and the idea of the Mana Power Meter using light runes instead of scales was also wonderful.
But these two simple but not simple things filled a gap in the study of magic, much to the surprise of Dean Manan.
In the past, no one had ever thought that magic and spiritual power could be quantified, and everyone was slowly progressing to break through to a higher level in the spell model that tried to build a higher ring again and again.
"Very delicate design, so Lord Xia Lin, what are you bringing these things to the Royal Academy of Magic for?"
Dean Manan looked at three things, nodded and affirmed Xia Lin's ingenuity, and asked with a thoughtful look on his face.
