Around noon.

The mages were arranged to dine in the main hall of the Golden Rose Castle.

In this world, class status is an almost unbreakable concept, and it is only natural that a mage who pursues wisdom cannot be left alone.

Only official mages are allowed to dine in the main hall of the castle, most of the apprentices can only eat in the side hall, and the few who enter the main hall of the castle can only stand behind the table as an attendant.

In the main hall are two large rectangular long tables, with enough seating for about 600 people.

The higher the level of the mage, the closer it is to the top of the main hall, while the newly promoted low-level official mage can only sit at the end of the door.

Although Lawson is a low-level, he is a Divine Seal Mage, and he still has some status, so he is arranged in the middle and lower seats.

Although Thrandis was his female companion, she was a bit higher in status than Rosen, and her seat was five seats higher than Rosen.

Before the mage was seated, the dishes were ready, five portions per person, served in shiny silver cutlery and tightly covered with lids.

After the official mage took his seat, the apprentice attendant behind him stepped forward to lay out the napkin, tied the napkin, and then politely retreated 2 meters behind him, ready to accept the call of the official mage in front of him.

Although the apprentices are just ordinary attendants, the competition is still fierce because they serve all official mages.

It is said that in order to have a chance to become the dining attendant of a powerful mage, many apprentices have to spend money to dredge up relationships.

After all the official mages were seated, the real bigwigs of Silvermoon Castle also took their seats.

Their position at the top of the hall was a long horizontal row of tables, with a total of ten seats, the most central of which was naturally the Count, on the left was Faeron, and on the right was the Bilgu mage.

Luo Sen saw that his heart was secretly moved: "The three ancient families of the Yellow Water Heights are also the same in the mage world." ”

Outside, there's Master Fuller.

He sat on the right side of Bilgu, and then looked at the other six mages, all of them were gray-haired, but they were all high-level mages, and the number of spell casting stars was above 13 stars, which was enviable.

Rosen knew their names and general history, but they didn't usually have any contact, and naturally they didn't have a relationship.

At this time, if you look closely, you will find that among the 10 people, there are only two Temple Sect mages, accounting for a minority of the 10 seats, and the number of spell casting stars is also the lowest.

Bilgou, for example, only has 13 stars.

Rosen thought back to the past and came to a conclusion.

'Mages have a high status and many options for their careers, and there are always a few mages who truly fight for God. ’

He looked at the other mages in the seats below, focusing on the official mage insignia on his chest.

The same phenomenon was soon discovered, and the number of Templar mages accounted for only about half of the total.

After looking around, I couldn't help but think.

'The mages are indeed the smartest of the bunch, and as soon as the breeze rises, they immediately notice it, and decisively seek advantage and avoid harm. ’

In addition, the Yellow Water Heights is really a small place, there are only more than 600 official mages in the whole highlands, and there are not even 50 high-level mages, and there is only one master. ’

It's normal to think about it, after all, it's just an earldom in the north, and there is a marquis above the earl, and there is a guardian duke of the four realms above the marquis, and there is a god emperor Deuta IX above the duke.

It is said that the number of human races in the entire Golden Land has reached hundreds of millions, while the total number of people in the entire Huangshui Highland is less than one million, and most of them are rural people.

So, don't look at him in this hall and only rank in the middle and bottom, but if you consider everyone in the highlands, his status is now higher than that of nine out of nine.

Of course, people like to compare themselves with people in the same circle, and in the mage circle, Rosen is still on the periphery.

While observing, he suddenly felt an unfriendly gaze, and his heart was shocked, and he immediately turned his head to look, only to find that it was the middle-level mage Horus.

Seeing Rosen looking back, Horus immediately turned his head as if nothing had happened.

Rosen's heart moved: 'Is this Voposian cronie still jealous of me?' Or maybe it was an order from Vaupos to try to suppress me. ’

After careful consideration, he felt that the former was more likely, because Vobos wanted to suppress him, and there were many means, and there was no need to use Horus's cronies.

Besides, he is a Divine Seal Mage, and he hasn't been jumping around lately, and with the reckless character of Fu Bos, he won't keep staring at him.

It seems that this guy is also a jealous maniac, and I hope he can take some of it. ’

At this time, as the original initiator of the Flower Society, and as the most accomplished mage in the Highlands, Count Omyhia spoke.

She spoke in the language of the hearts of the crowd, and her voice rang out clearly over the hall.

"Under the witness of the Golden God, in the name of the Omixia family, I initiated the initiation of this annual flower society, and it seems that it is only a blink of an eye, and thirty-five years have passed."

"Thirty-five years is not a long time to God, but thirty-five years is a long time in the short life of a mortal."

"In thirty-five years, I have grown from a high-level mage to an archmage, and I have also grown from young to old. In the seats off the field, there are fewer familiar old faces, but there are also many young and promising new faces. ”

"What makes me most gratified is that in the twenty years that I have been in charge of Silvermoon Castle, the number of official mages in the Yellow Water Heights has increased from 430 to 621 today, the average mana realm has increased from low-level to low-level upper, and the average spell casting ability has also increased from 5 stars to 6 stars."

Hearing this, Rosen sighed in his heart: "Hmm~ I can now reach the average. ’

The Earl didn't say much nonsense, and after a few brief introductions to the basic situation, she said, "Okay, the time is almost up, let's start lunch." ”

As the words fell, the apprentice who had been standing behind took a few steps forward, and with the hand of the mage, unveiled the silver lid on the table for the official mages, and then poured wine into the wine glass.

Lawson glanced left and right, and found that the dishes of the mages were all different, and the ingredients of the five food dishes in front of him were obviously inferior to those of middle and high-level mages, and the quality of wine, snacks, and tableware was also inferior.

He looked at it and pouted secretly: "In order to distinguish the level of mages, it is also troublesome enough to reflect the superiority of high-ranking mages at all times." ”

But in any case, it was a free lunch invited by the earl, and it tasted really good, and Lawson ate it very happily.

When most of the people were full of seven or eight points, the voice of Master Faeron came from above.

Fei Lun's voice was gentle and deep, and he spoke slowly, and it was easy to imagine him as a respectable old gentleman just by listening to his voice.

"Fellow mages, the afternoon is the time for thesis presentations. There will be many generous mages who will share their wonderful results in the study of their spells. ”

"So, I have to remind everyone to drink less alcohol to keep a clear head, so as not to miss out on the delicious fruit of wisdom."

This elicited a low laugh, but it did serve as a reminder, and many mages who had wanted to take a few more sips also put down their wine glasses.

"Another thing I would like to inform you is that this year there are a lot of papers submitted, the number has reached 249, and 60 have passed the review."

"And the academy lasted only three days. So, we don't have too long to prepare for each mage. ”

"According to the plan made by the Mage's Guild, this is the case."

"The high-level spell paper will be divided into 30 minutes, 20 minutes for the intermediate level, and 15 minutes for the low level. The basic logic papers, which are not directly related to the power of magic, will be published on the last day. ”

As soon as he heard this, Rosen's heart sank slightly, and he had a bad premonition.

He suddenly thought of the fire reported by Malkyrie, and this bad feeling became even stronger.

"Hmm~ The atmosphere of conspiracy is getting stronger and stronger, and there is a feeling of being targeted."

However, Rosen was not worried about being hacked at all, because the highest status in the society was the earl.

The earl already knew the achievements of himself and his mentor, and the mages of the Temple Sect basically knew that if they dared to go black, then there would be no order in the mage world of the Yellow Water Heights.

He estimated that the other party should be trying to use some subordinate means to disgust them, so that he and his mentor would make a big fool of themselves during the speech.

It is very likely that the other party intends to ask sharp questions about the results of the paper during their speech, pointing to the loopholes.

If you can't answer it, you will naturally lose face and the results of your paper will be questioned.

However, there is a sharp question with enough offensive power, and it is not something that can be raised if you want to ask it.

It was necessary to have sufficient time to study his thesis carefully.

That's why he and his mentor were put on the third day.

'Hey, Faeron is such an old man. But it's not enough to try to trap me. ’

It's true that Faeron is the guild leader, but he can't cover the sky in the guild.

He can do tricks, and Rosen can also find relationships!

Back to business.

The dissertation presentation was given at the Great Hall of Wisdom and began at 1 p.m.

From after lunch until 1 o'clock, it is time for the mage to prepare.

After quickly filling their stomachs, the mages rushed to the Great Hall of Wisdom.

When they arrived at the main hall and had taken their assigned seats, Lawson said hello to Thrandis and rushed to the backstage of the hall to find Master Fuller.

"Sir, has my paper and my supervisor passed the review?"

Fuller was busy making the final preparations, and when he heard the voice, he didn't speak, and directly stuffed a piece of paper into Lawson's arms.

"Here's the schedule, you see if you're in there."

Rosen took a quick look and flipped through the daily table at 3 p.m. on the third day, and saw two papers, "Theory of Flowing Numbers" and "Law of Moving Stars".

Hey, that's exactly what I guessed. ’

But to say that this arrangement is wrong, it seems that it is not possible.

The status of the mentor and himself in the mage world is in the middle and lower ranks, and there are still two or three hundred mages in front of the two.

Each has an identity and status, and if people want to publish papers, they all involve the application of magic, so they naturally have to put it in front.

If it's like this every year, there's nothing to say.

But Rosen has learned that in previous years, there was no such simple and crude classification of papers, and in previous years, papers were classified according to their importance.

It's normal to think about it.

You are a high-level mage who talks about a very unpopular high-level spell, even if you talk about it in a big way, how can it be as important as a powerful and versatile mathematical tool.

So, this is Faeron, or the scholar sent a mage to do something against himself.

The purpose should be to cling to factions, and I don't want Rosen, a temple mage, to be in the limelight in the academy.

"How's that, is there?" Mage Fuller's voice came from the side.

Rosen spread his hands: "Yes, but it was scheduled at three o'clock in the afternoon on the last day." ”

Fuller frowned: "How is it possible?" Who is blind like this?! ”

After listening to the core content of Liushu for a while, he immediately knew that this was a very, very important achievement, and it would definitely set off a great change in the system of logic and law.

Such an important result is put on the last day, and it is still placed at the end of the game, which is really a problem with the brain!

"You wait, I'll go to the Count for help!"

He took the schedule and left.

After about a quarter of an hour, he hurried back, his face beaming with joy.

"The Count already knew about it, and she thought it was ridiculous."

"So, she used the waiver to raise your mentor's Theory of Flowing Numbers to the third place this afternoon. Your "Law of Moving Stars" is placed in fourth place. ”

"Time is running out, you and your mentor hurry up and prepare."

Rosen immediately nodded: "Okay, I'll go and prepare."

As he walked towards the outer hall, he couldn't help but think again, "But if it's just a question, why set fire to the paper?"

A thought flashed: "I understand, you want us to give an unscripted speech!"

This kind of rigorous academic paper is extremely difficult to give an off-script speech, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a bad situation of logical confusion.

If someone asks questions again and disrupts your thoughts, you will probably be stunned on the spot.

If that were the case, the speeches they put in the carriage would probably have been stolen.

Today, I will finish writing this plot climax point at one time, so five more.
