Chen Daolin knew very well that the Academy of Magic and the Magic Society had clearly used themselves as an excuse to attack the Magic Guild.
The three major magical organizations of the empire have always had a very complicated relationship.
The Magic Guild, as the oldest number one magic organization, is deeply rooted. The Academy of Magic, on the other hand, symbolizes the emerging power, and from the day one it was created, it was given the mission of breaking the monopoly of the Magic Guild.
The Magic Society, on the other hand, is more like a purely academic organization, but with the development of a hundred years, this academic organization occasionally does not mind making some of its own voices.
For the Academy of Magic and the Academy of Magic, the most infuriating thing in the past hundred years is the number one privilege of the Magic Guild: the qualification and recognition of magicians.
In other words, whether you are a legitimate magician or not, Lao Tzu has the final say.
Theoretically, it is like this: if you don't like you, no matter how strong you are, you will not have the official title of magician, and you can only be a hard magic apprentice - of course, even if the magic guild is shameless, it will not be able to do that kind of thing without limits.
However, there is a lot of room for manipulation in the assessment of levels.
For example, it is obviously a mid-level strength, and it will press you to a low level. A mage who can obviously wear white clothes will press you to a gray robe.
Don't go too far, procrastination for you for 3578 years is enough to make you sick.
And the magicians on the Roland Continent can not want power or wealth, but the most important thing is fame.
And the Magic Guild controls the "name" of all magicians.
In recent years, the Magic Guild has long been left behind by the Academy of Magic in terms of cultivating talents, and the academic research has also been surpassed by the shared spirit of the Magic Society.
The only thing that can be relied on is one of the greatest cornerstones of their continued authority. It is the privilege of this exclusive assessment.
The Academy of Magic does not want to break this monopoly all the time - if the Academy of Magic can have the authority to certify the assessment of magic, then from now on, the Academy of Magic can soar into the sky, and no longer have to be restricted by the Magic Guild, and no longer have to look at the face of the Magic Guild!
In order to do this in disguise, the Academy of Magic has made various efforts in the past hundred years.
But the upper echelons of the royal family, as the ruling class of this empire, have always refused to let go. It is probably believed that the magic world of the empire now has three major organizations, and the magic guild has gradually weakened. The Academy of Magic is rising strongly, and if it really weakens the Magic Guild again, I'm afraid that the power of the Academy of Magic is too great. It's not something the upper echelons want to see - after all, the academy was founded to break the power of the Magic Guild.
It would not be in line with the ruler's wishes to sit back and watch the Academy of Magic become a new giant now.
The Academy of Magic is naturally unwilling, and has begun to take the route of saving the country on a curve for many years.
You won't give me the right to be assessed by the Academy of Magic, will you?
It's okay, I'll gradually infiltrate the magic society!
For generations, the Academy of Magic has worked hard to infiltrate the guild. For example, some of the elders of the academy, the branch dean, will also seek to hold some positions in the magic guild.
From the earliest nominal and idle positions, to the current infiltration step by step, he has gradually sought some more important positions in the magic guild.
For example, Dean Carmen is now also a high-level duty in the Magic Guild. He is also one of the elder-level giants of the Magic Guild.
With the gradual infiltration of the Magic Guild, it is equivalent to dividing some of the privileges of the Magic Guild in disguise.
However, the Academy of Magic has never given up the real authority to take the assessment.
Today's Chen Daolin. It seems that the two families have been given another chance to attack.
These days of deliberate hype have pushed Chen Daolin to the cusp. For a time, in the imperial capital, the name "Darling Chen" was almost known to women and children, and everyone knew it.
Under such a wave of deliberate hype. For a time, the three major magic organizations fought a war of words. Chen Daolin was famous and shook the imperial capital.
This momentum actually overshadowed the momentum of the great earthquake in the church for a while!
However, Chen Daolin is still quite calm, he understands very well that he doesn't want this kind of "fame".
And it doesn't necessarily bring much benefit to yourself. On the contrary, I am afraid that I will bring myself a lot of open guns and hidden arrows.
As an excuse to attack the Magic Guild, Chen Daolin was sure that although the Magic Guild was relieved by the pressure, he made it clear that he would conduct a magic level assessment for himself.
However, in this assessment, I set some problems for myself and secretly stumble, which is almost certain!
What made Chen Daolin speechless the most was that the time set by the Magic Guild for the assessment: January 10 of the New Year.
On this day, it is obviously disgusting.
The news of Chen Daolin's blatant challenge to Anthony has spread throughout the imperial capital. The date is set for New Year's Day!
The Magic Guild set the day of the assessment ten days after the decisive battle of this martial arts competition, and it was clearly an attitude:
According to Chen Daolin's previous statement, if he failed in the competition, he would leave the imperial capital and go into hiding, and never set foot in the imperial capital again for the rest of his life.
If Brother Darling really fails the martial arts competition by then, then the Magic Guild will not need to hold any more assessments, and Chen Daolin has already left the imperial capital directly.
But since Darling became a professor at the Academy, whether he wanted it or not, he was naturally classified as a member of the Academy of Magic. If the student is a member of the college, it is natural for the college to bear the black cauldron.
What's more, I have also gained a lot of benefits in the academy, and I can't just want to take advantage of it and not suffer losses.
Chen Daolin has made up his mind, he will never walk out of the academy again before the New Year, and now that he is too popular in the imperial capital, it is better to hide in the academy obediently. When it comes to the New Year, the scenery in the ring will solve the Hundred Flowers Knight, which is the most important thing for him at present.
…… However, Chen Daolin wanted to keep a low profile, but he took the initiative to find the matter.
In the afternoon of that day, Chen Daolin was still fiddling with the actual combat version of the "Sword of the Force" that he had made in the real room, when a student came outside to send a message: Dean Carmen is invited.
Summoned by his current big boss, Chen Daolin had to put down what he was doing and hurry forward.
I came to Dean Carmen's office. As soon as Chen Daolin arrived at the door, he unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.
The red-haired young magic apprentice walked out of the door and met Chen Daolin, the young man's face was slightly strange, but he still stood and nodded to Chen Daolin: "Professor Darling." ”
"Mr. Schodell. Chen Daolin also smiled politely - although the other party was just a magic apprentice, but who made the family the son of Dean Carmen?
And he is also the illegitimate son of the legendary Tulip family.
Xiao Del rarely appeared in the academy on weekdays, and after Chen Daolin came to the academy, he had only seen him less than three times. And the first two times I saw it from a distance, and I didn't say hello or talk.
And today, when he met this young man at the door of Dean Carmen, Chen Daolin originally just wanted to pass by in a hurry-I don't know why. For a long time, Chen Daolin's senses for this Xiao Del were not very good. Probably because when he first glanced at it in the magic guild, the kind of cold and noble frame that Xiao Deer revealed made Chen Daolin a little unhappy.
But this time, it seems that this Shawdel did not intend to leave in a hurry. He actually stood still, looked at Chen Daolin, and took the initiative to smile and said, "Professor Darling, how are you doing?"
Chen Daolin was a little puzzled by this headless question, but he still said politely: "It's okay, you care about it." ”
Xiao Del squinted his eyes, "I heard that your collaborative project in the academy has been doing well recently. The students and teachers in the academy were full of praise, and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce was very committed. It is said that there are a lot of new and interesting things in the cooperative workshop......"
Chen Daolin immediately had a trace of vigilance in his heart.
Now this Wushuang Fang is his biggest family business. Wushuang Fang has been settled by a group of magic students. With the addition of this group of people who have been systematically trained in magic, in addition to making the "Sword of the Force", the Wushuang Workshop also gives these young students a place where they can show their magical imagination to the fullest.
Moreover, Chen Daolin's management method in Wushuang Fang is very enlightened: as long as you have good ideas and interesting ideas, you can use the equipment and raw materials in Wushuang Fang for free to experiment.
It doesn't matter if it fails, if it succeeds. Then Musou Fang will evaluate it, if the results are valuable. It will also spend money to buy it, and it may be turned into a product for large-scale promotion in the future!
These magic students didn't care about the money—they were all people who would become magicians in the future, and few of them were as greedy for money as Chen Daolin. However, if their results can be promoted on a large scale, it is undoubtedly a very tempting thing.
For a while, these young students, who were too suffocated in the academy on weekdays, showed their strength in the Wushuang Workshop, and in less than a month, they consumed a lot of raw materials and damaged more than a dozen sets of equipment.
However, it was not without results, and a few students also made some famous names, although they were all inconspicuous little magic equipment. But Chen Daolin does not value the current results.
He knows very well that this model not only exercises the practical experience of the students, but also stimulates the students' creative inspiration to the greatest extent.
At this stage, it may be pure money burning, but it also takes a while for the students who follow the rules in the academy to adapt to this free-range environment, once they get used to it, as long as they make one or two decent results in the future, they can definitely make their own Wushuang Fang make a lot of money!
This little investment in the early stage is just for these guys to practice their hands.
Chen Daolin had great expectations for this Wushuang Fang, and at this moment, Xiao De suddenly asked-and looking at him, it seemed that he was not asking casually, but what was the intention.
"Young people are energetic and like to mess around, but it's fine. Chen Daolin smiled faintly: "The real room in the academy is limited, and everyone is a little excited to have a place where they can have fun." ”
Xiao Del smiled—I have to say, he was very handsome, with clear eyebrows, quite the shadow of Dean Carmen, and a pointed chin, probably inherited Carmen's awl face......
However, Chen Daolin always felt that this young man had a feminine taste that he didn't like very much.
"When the cooperation project was signed up in the early stage, many people were waiting and watching. Nowadays, I hear that many people regret it. I heard that Wushuang Fang will recruit another batch of students after that. It seems that the people who have signed up have already broken their heads. Xiao Del smiled, said this, and deliberately paused: "Professor Darling, I am also very curious about your cooperation project, and I also submitted an application for registration this time, but I don't know if I have the luck to be approved......
Chen Daolin's heart moved.
This Xiao Del, also signed up?
That's weird.
Because of the cooperation project between his Wushuang Fang and the academy, it has always been clear that only students from the academy are recruited.
But this Shorel ...... His identity is very embarrassing.
As the son of Dean Carmen, the scandalous illegitimate son of the Tulip family. Dean Carmen was a famous first-class archmage in the Empire.
But this Shawdel, bring him up. It's a bit embarrassing.
He was in his early twenties, but he was still a magic apprentice.
It's a magic apprentice! Not a student of the Academy of Magic!
There's no shame in being a magic apprentice in her twenties, but if there's a first-class magician in the empire, a big magician mother, as a background. That's a bit of a stretch.
Shawdel had never taken any magic exams, and had not even attended the Academy of Magic—no one knew what Dean Carmen thought, her only son, who had not become a student of the Academy.
Although it is said that Shawdel's magical talent is not very good, there is a mother who is the head of the academy. Xiao Dele mixed with the qualification of a cadet of the academy is still no one will say anything.
And he has always been walking between the academy and the magic guild without embarrassment as a "magic apprentice", when he was young, it was okay, but as he got older, there were really many people who pointed fingers behind his back in the past few years.
And Chen Daolin actually secretly spied on it with his spiritual power. This Shorel ...... It is true that there are no magic fluctuations on his body, and he should really have no magical talent.
The other party took the initiative to greet him, and then made such a request.
Chen Daolin thought for a moment. He immediately nodded: "If Mr. Xiao Del is interested, then it will naturally be no problem." There are young people in Wushuang Fang, and everyone communicates a lot together. I can improve it together, too. ”
This is already a promise.
Chen Daolin didn't have any dissatisfaction in his heart. Dean Carmen is actually really good to herself, and she has defended herself in the academy several times. Her status as a professor and her collaborative projects are all based on her reasoning.
It's human nature to give her son some convenience.
"Thank you, Professor Darling. Shawdell pursed his lips and smiled. I owe him a debt and leave.
Chen Daolin looked at the young man's back. He froze for a moment, then shook his head and knocked on Dean Carmen's door.
……
It's not the first time Chen has come to Carmen's office.
As the head of the Hogwarts branch and the de facto first person in the School of Magic, Carmen's office naturally occupies a huge area.
Moreover, this place does not seem to have a magician owner at all.
It wasn't meant to insult the magician...... Rather, all the magicians that Chen Daolin had known so far! Almost without exception, they were all ...... Sloppy ghosts!
No matter how bright and clean they dress up in front of people, these magicians, regardless of gender, old and young, are in a mess in their own private places, such as the real yàn room and office!
For example, Dean Hugo of the German Academy, the famous great alchemist of the Empire, Chen Daolin once went to his office to do business.
This chubby-looking dean of the branch looks very clean and gentle, and he looks neat on weekdays, but is his office......
In Chen Daolin's words, it was as if he had just been trampled by 10,000 grass and mud horses.
And Dean Carmen's office has always been spotless, clean and tidy!
Chen Daolin even doubted for a moment that this woman would have a habit of cleanliness - of course, this was a joke. There is no way to be a cleanliness in the profession of a magician. I have to face all kinds of disgusting and dirty potions every day, and the internal organs of demonic beasts, if I have a habit of cleanliness, I won't be able to live for a long time.
Either way, Dean Carmen is an alternative among magicians.
First of all, she never wore a magician's robe. Although according to her rank, she is qualified to wear a white robe. But the dean was always dressed in a gaudy red robe, and she would never wear the traditional style of a wide and loose magician's robe, her red robe was always cut to fit properly, and seemed to show all the curves and capital of a woman to the greatest extent—and it was undeniable that this abbot Carmen was originally a stunning beauty.
Walking into Carmen's office, Chen Daolin stood on the smooth floor that could almost illuminate the figure, facing the two-dimensional beauty dean with an awl face in front of him.
Carmen was looking down at something, glanced up at Chen Daolin, and then the beautiful dean put down what she was holding and slowly stood up.
"Lord Dean, do you have anything to do with me?" Chen Daolin politely saluted.
Carmen didn't speak, walked around the table, walked in front of Chen Daolin, and then squinted his eyes and looked Chen Daolin up and down, as if he had never seen Chen Daolin before.
Then, she even walked around Chen Daolin, and looked carefully back and forth.
"............" Chen Daolin's face was a little strange, and he couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth: "Lord Dean?"
"Darling. Carmen walked up to Chen Daolin, and then suddenly smiled: "Do you have any clothes to wear for formal occasions?"
Chen Daolin blinked his innocent eyes.
"I mean formal attire, the kind of formal dress that can be used for a banquet, do you have one?" Carmen sighed, "There's an important occasion tonight, you can accompany me for a while...... Dress up and don't lose my people!"
"Na, Nani?"
