892. Milady before going home
On December 17th, the Running Horse Academy was already very deserted.
According to Rand's order, the Running Horse Academy began its winter break on December 17 and lasted until the last day of February.
Regardless of whether it is a demonless or a demonic student who has inspired the bloodline, they can earn a lot of income from school life, and the demonless can apply for various assistant positions in the school, such as cleaning experimental tools, sorting out experimental records, and assisting in the cultivation of demon plants in the plot, and the subsidies brought by these positions are enough for them to buy some additional potions.
And the demon supporter can get even more, whether it is exchanging points or participating in various tasks of the academy, they can bring a lot of gold coins.
Therefore, the two-and-a-half-month winter vacation made the students from the imperial capital feel uneasy, and for some civilian children, they even wanted to save some gold coins for future development.
At their request, the college began to allow students to return to campus for self-study and experiments on February 1, but there will be no unified curriculum.
In the classroom office, Milady, from the imperial capital, was packing up her things, moisturizer, magic porcelain, magic clay pots, memory crystals, and magic thermos cups.
The abundance of goods in Night Qi City was far beyond her imagination, so much so that all the wages and points she saved bought these, and there were still many things she wanted to take home.
"We should bring Michelle and the others to Night Qi City, maybe they can become demon supporters in the future!" Miledi said to herself as she packed up her things, "I should also borrow an enlightenment book, I really didn't expect the magic enlightenment book in Night Qicheng City to be so interesting." ”
In order to make the children of barbarians and slaves better understand magic, Rand asked Nancy, who was in charge of enlightenment education, to make a set of enlightenment books, including arithmetic, words, rhyme, natural knowledge, and so on.
In order to develop this set of books, Farni found several sets of children's books sold at auto shows in Shenguo as references, and specially invited illustrators in Dragon's Tooth City to draw and print them on a large scale.
While both Ben Kaul and Archmagister Glamorgan were dismissive of the Initiation Textbook, both Milady and Guleath thought it was a perfect fit for children who lacked a family school.
"You're Milady-sensei, aren't you?"
Suddenly, a voice appeared in the doorway of the office, and Miledi looked back to see that it was Tierney Joyatsen.
"Lord Count, I am Miledi!" The woman subconsciously knelt down on one knee and prepared to salute, but was stopped by Tierney.
"Teacher Miledi, the Duke of Rand specifically warned us that as long as you enter the Galloping Horse Academy, you are either a teacher or a student, and you are not allowed to be a nobleman, you don't need to salute here."
"Thank you, Lord Earl!" Milady nodded.
"Actually, you can just call me Tierney, I'm not 20 yet, they always call me grandpa," Tierney said, touching his head, and when he saw that Milady in front of him had almost emptied his desk, he quickly asked, "Are you not coming back after returning to the imperial capital?" ”
"Me? Of course they will be back, but Mentor Glamorgan has stated that there will be nearly 1,600 students enrolled next year, and the Tower of Innocence will send another batch of apprentice-level mages, and those of us who have risen to the junior level will have to change offices. ”
"1,600 people?" Tierney was a little surprised, "Is that the same student that Teacher Gurea said a few days ago that he was going to come from various cities in the empire?" ”
"It must be them!"
According to the new agreement reached between Rand and the Tower of Innocence, starting in March, the annual enrollment quota of the Running Horse Academy will gradually increase, from the current total of 400 students to 2,000 students per year.
The cultivation is also according to the previous batch of models, the nobles produce potions, the Tower of Purity produces teaching materials and teachers, and the Rand is out of the position, and the demon supporters who stimulate the bloodline need to work for the Rand for a period of time after completing their studies before they can leave Night Qicheng City.
In March, Rand will conduct a supplementary enrollment among the nobles of the Dragon's Tooth City and the Imperial Capital School, increasing the total number of the batch in 997 to 2,000, and in September, another 2,000 will be recruited according to the new academic year.
"No matter how many new people there are, it's good that you don't leave," Tierney said with a smile.
"Teacher Milady, in fact, I have always had some magical questions that I want to ask you, but I was too busy before, and I wanted to come and ask you today while Neil was helping Xiaohua clean up the room, but I didn't expect you to go back to the imperial capital."
"Count, you've now reached a high level of magic, and I'm afraid there's nothing I can teach you."
"No, my knowledge of magic may be higher than yours, but my understanding of magic patterns and spells is very weak," Tierney, who had reached the advanced level, did not hide his shortcomings,
"The mages and knights of the entire Galloping Horse Academy, or Lord Duke, whether it is Sister Wendy or Cardinal, attach great importance to the application of magic,
However, there is a lack of understanding of the principles of spells, and everyone knows spells based on the textbooks brought by Gandalf and Gureya, as well as their understanding of spells.
Although Mentor Liel Arbor was able to understand the flow of magic from the source of magic, he could not tell me the logic and thinking of my ancestors in the process of creating and improving spells, which I think is also a common problem among mages in the realm. ”
Tierney's eloquent remarks, and the pros and cons of the Galloping Academy's teaching, surprised Milady.
"Count Tierney, did you gain these experiences in the process of studying?"
"When I was studying, I didn't experience that at all, I experienced it in Roseburg two days ago, when I communicated with several mages of the Blue Dragon Family and released the same magic, although I was faster and consumed less mana, but the effect was much worse than theirs." Tierney recalled the experience of the previous days.
"The mages told me that although I have a good understanding of the flow of magic, many spells are designed not just for one magician to cast a spell, but for other spells.
For example, second-level hydrotherapy techniques, when they are released, they tend to increase the mana input by 20%, and when combined with other mages' life healing techniques, they can obtain 3 times the effect of a single spell. ”
"And what about such exquisiteness?" Listening to Tierney's words, Miledi's mind was full of the contents of the books, and the water magic textbooks did mention similar knowledge of spell logic, but few of them, who were only apprentices or junior mages, could understand it.
"yes, if it weren't for the fact that I saw a room full of wounded people, I don't think there's anything to continue exploring for an apprentice-level hydrotherapy," Tierney nodded, "but in that case, even a high-level mage could be in a situation where his magic power is exhausted." ”
Tilney's words aroused Milady's great interest, and she pleaded: "Count, I can end my vacation in mid-January, can you take me to Rosebourg to see it then?" ”
"I'm afraid it's unlikely, the healers over there in Rosebourg require at least a high-level mage," Tierney shook his head a little embarrassed, "You're only intermediate now, but the magic field is very important for treating the wounded, unless you're willing to be Knight Guana Dante's assistant." ”
