24: Observer of the sky cover
Wilson didn't know whether what Nolan said in the carriage was true or false.
But even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance of success, he has to let the research of this project go smoothly.
Please, this is a revolutionary research topic that can subvert the existing rune system and open up a new era of circle science!
At the thought of the possibilities that would happen after success, even if he was as steady as him, he felt his heart surging and he couldn't sleep at night.
The next morning, he knocked on the office of the management of the society one by one with the application forms, and gave the green light all the way as a director of the board, and it only took one morning to apply for the research project.
Along with the application, there was also a letter of introduction to Nolen to go to the Mage Academy, which was promised last night.
……
Uptown of Linfeng City, Mage College.
"My name is Fleet Maggs, and you're the alchemist who came to visit the academy today?"
At the entrance of the academy, a young man in a cyan robe put down the letter in his hand and glanced up and down at Nolan with some suspicion.
"Yes, my name is Nolan Wieses."
Nolan replied, "I came to visit the Mage Academy for the purpose of studying alchemy. What's wrong, what's the problem? ”
"No...... I just think you're too young. Fleet put away the envelope, "The alchemists I've seen are scruffy middle-aged men in their thirties with unshaven beards. ”
"Haha, the age may be true, but the latter few are a bit stereotypical."
Nolan laughed, "You look younger than me, are you a student here?" ”
Fleet nodded, "I'm a second-level student in the Wind Branch. ”
"I thought it was the teachers at the academy who were in charge of receiving me."
"The teacher threw off the task...... No, it's left to me. ”
"Oh? But it doesn't matter, I don't need to be too professional, you just need to show me the way. ”
"Where do you want to visit?"
"Visiting the place where you usually practice spells, I want to observe the process of the mages casting spells."
"Yes, come with me."
Fleet walked ahead and asked casually, "By the way, you're not a mage, are you?" ”
Alchemist is just a title, and even mages and knights can become alchemists as long as they pass the theory of alchemy.
"Yes, I'm an alchemist."
"Then why did you watch the mage cast the spell? You can't absorb magic, you can't manipulate magic, and you can't learn spells anyway, so what's the point of watching us cast spells? ”
"I can't control magic, but I can vaguely detect its movements."
Noren explained, "And there's a discipline in alchemy called Circle, which activates spells in the form of magic circles. You don't have to be a mage to use spells. ”
"Cut ......" Fleet was obviously not interested in the science of magic circles, and sneered:
"I've heard that you alchemists need to spend a lot of energy and materials to draw a slightly more advanced magic array, so is there really any practical value in spending so much time? It's better to just get a real mage to help you. ”
Nolan shook his head: "The number of mages is too small, and besides, mages have their own limitations.
"Most mages have only one elemental adaptability and can only cast one type of elemental spell, while alchemists can draw different types of spells, which is our unique advantage."
"That's nice." Fleet muttered, "Spells are such a mysterious and noble skill that only the darlings of the gods in a thousand can master, and the layman is just stealing a skin, and even claiming to have an advantage......"
Nolan heard his muttering and didn't argue, just shrugged and smiled.
Before he came, he had heard Wilson mention that in fact, the mage did not have a friendly attitude towards alchemists, especially those who studied the science of magic circles.
As the rarest type of transcendent, mages can manipulate magic to cast spells and trigger visions of heaven and earth, and can be said to be the most gifted existence among human beings.
The status of the mage is also extraordinary, in fact, in the ancient period of human civilization, the mage was worshipped by the world as the darling of the gods.
Even with the progress of the times, the nature of magic has been deeply studied, and the mystery of the mage has been gradually unraveled, and its status continues unabated.
After all, they are not the mascots of the gods, and high-level mages really have the strength to destroy the world.
The Roland I, who unified the human realm and created the Roland Empire with his own hands, is said to be a "sage" level mage who has surpassed the ninth order.
One can imagine how arrogant every genius who becomes a mage in such an environment will be.
Spells make them inherently noble, with the ability to easily control the life and death of others, which is a proof that distinguishes them from mortals.
But now a group of alchemists who don't know the height of the earth have come to study their natural skills, in a vain attempt to steal their proud privileges with the wisdom of mortals?
I don't know what to do!
This is what most traditionalist mages really think in their hearts, and in the Roland Empire, traditionalist mages make up the vast majority.
Therefore, even if he had a letter of introduction from the Alchemy Society, the people of the Mage Academy did not give him a good face, and the teacher who was originally in charge of answering directly threw the task of leading the way to his students.
Even the students were not friendly to the alchemists who came to visit the academy.
The magnitude of the prejudice can be seen.
None of this mattered to Nolan, though, who had come to visit the academy with a clear personal purpose.
It doesn't matter to me what you think of the alchemist, I just know that you are all my experience babies.
Wait until I copy all the spells you have worked so hard to learn and turn them into knowledge points in the Book of All-Knowing......
By the time I put a new generation of magic runes into large-scale use, the magic guide will become more and more popular......
By the time they discovered overnight that they were no longer special, the alchemist who had been looked down upon by them had become a hot character......
Think, they're a little pitiful.
Nolan thought about the future in his heart, and did not take the student's insulting words to heart.
The pattern needs to be opened.
However, since he is his own receptionist, I still hope that he can show some energy and save himself from making trouble.
Thinking of this, he took out a small money bag from his arms and threw it casually:
"By the way, the mage's cultivation is very hard, right? This is a welcome gift, and I wish you success in your studies and early promotion. ”
"Huh?"
Fleet didn't even know that he could get a tip for leading the way, and thought to himself that I wasn't a waiter in a tavern, so you gave me money to look down on me.
He frowned, he wanted to reprimand Nolen "Mage Academy is not a place for you to show off", but he inadvertently glanced into the mouth of the money bag, only to find that there were actually a few golden gold coins inside!
His eyes straightened.
I'm super, these alchemists are all local tyrants!
In fact, he was born into a family that was neither aristocratic nor wealthy. It was only when I was lucky enough to have the talent of a mage that I was able to study at the mage academy.
Although he is a noble mage in front of outsiders, he is at the bottom of the academy in terms of grades and family background, which is why his teacher will dictate to him and throw the guide tasks he is too lazy to take directly to him.
Originally, he was still worried about his cultivation progress, but with these gold coins, he would be able to obtain better cultivation resources.
Thinking of this, Fleet swallowed his saliva, silently and quickly stuffed the money bag into his arms, and even looked around quickly with a thief's heart, and then said:
"Aha, that's so kind...... By the way, what's your name? ”
"Nolan."
"Okay Noren, I'll take you to our academy's training ground now. The training ground here is different from the normal training ground, and there is a special spell barrier that can effectively prevent the aftermath of the spell from causing damage to others......"
After receiving the tip, Fleet was obviously much more enthusiastic, and Nolan smiled as he listened to his introduction along the way, and sighed in his heart.
It seems that the darling of the gods will still bend over for five gold coins.
Now he can understand why Harrison can rely on controlling a huge amount of wealth to build his own strong network and power.
As long as they are integrated into society, even extraordinary people are just ordinary people who can eat, drink, and need firewood, rice, oil, and salt.
They also have their own lives, their own worries, their own emotions and six desires.
There is not only fighting and killing in life, as long as you master the corresponding weaknesses, you can easily grasp them.
As they spoke, they came to the periphery of the training ground, and through the railing, they could see the mage students in the training ground practicing spell casting under the guidance of the teacher.
Like Fleet, these mage students wore cyan robes.
Fleet smiled, "You're lucky, it's outdoor practice time for the senior wind department, do you want me to take you to the training ground for a spin?" ”
"No, don't bother them with the lessons." Nolan looked over the railing to the students in the training grounds.
"This distance...... Enough is enough. ”
As the words fell, he saw a student raise his hand in a chanting voice, and the pale cyan wind element gathered around him, and then he floated leisurely.
There is no need to summon or activate the magic circle, just chant the magic spell, and the mage can complete the release of the spell.
It is said that some high-level mages have even more powerful spell casting methods, they can silently recite spells in their minds, and they can even use two spells at the same time.
In the eyes of outsiders, they can call the wind and rain with just a slight wave of their hands, and they can indeed be called the darlings of the gods and the miracles of walking.
Noren silently watched the mages who began to cast spells one after another in the training ground, and the pages of omniscient art in his mind also turned the page.
The third-order wind spell "Levitabrating" has been recorded.
Knowledge +8.
The second-order wind spell "Acceleration" has been recorded.

……
Looking at the lively training ground below, the corners of Nolan's mouth couldn't help but rise.
It's so cool, is this what it's like to be a white prostitute?
It's all spells I've never seen before, and I stole them.
Although they are all low-level spells, they are better than the abundance.
He even recorded a thunder spell, the thunder element is an isotopic alien element of the wind element, and there are even fewer people who can control it.
Probably only one out of every five wind mages can cast thunder spells.
Looking at the omniscient book that kept turning the pages in his mind, he was in a rather happy mood at the moment.
Sure enough, coming to the Mage Academy is the right choice, this trip is not in vain, this trip is not in vain!
Fleet on the side glanced at him a little strangely, isn't it just that the master casts spells, as for being so happy?
It's like a dirt bun who has never seen the world...... People are stupid and have a lot of money.
That was his first impression of the young alchemist.
After a while, the bell rang for the end of class, and the students of the Wind Department Branch left the venue one after another.
"Where are you going to visit next?" Fleet asked.
"No......" Nolan wiped his mouth unsatisfactorily, "Are there any other students from other branches coming to the training ground in the afternoon?" ”
"There should be, right? After all, there's still a lesson. ”
"Then I'll keep waiting."
I didn't feel sorry for the departure of the students of the Wind Department Branch for a moment.,The one who immediately rushed to the training ground was-
Students of the Fire Division!
The first-order fire spell "Ignite", has been recorded.
Knowledge +2.
The third-order fire spell "Wall of Fire" has been recorded.
Knowledge +8.
The second-order fire spell "Fire Fighting" has been recorded.
Knowledge +4.

Knowledge +4.
……
Throughout the sunny afternoon, Nolan leaned on the railing so comfortably, admiring the posture of the students casting spells in the training ground opposite, and leaned on it until the evening.
As the bell rang for the end of the last period, Fleet reminded, "It's time for today's visit. ”
He also thought that he was going to accompany Nolan to visit the school for an afternoon, and he would introduce teachers from the academy to him, but he didn't expect that he just watched the training ground for an afternoon?
Hell, are you here to run errands or to fish?
Although he didn't complain about it, just standing with him for an afternoon to get a tip of five gold coins, there was no more lucrative business in the world.
But sure enough, this alchemist named Noren really looks so strange!
"You've led the way today, see you soon, Fleet."
Observing so many spells, Noren was also satisfied, waved his hand at Fleet with a smile, hummed a little song and left the mage academy.
Everything is in their own plans.
Now that he's documenting the required spells, he's now ready to work on the Valkyrie backpack as he waits for Harrison to deliver the raw materials he ordered to his door.
It is said that this shipment was shipped from outside, and if you calculate the time, it should arrive in two days.
With a leisurely attitude, Nolan waited for another two days, and the next morning he was woken up by a knock at the door, and when he pushed the door, he saw that the old wolf was waiting for him at the door.
"Yo, the goods have arrived?"
Nolan said hello, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
However, the old wolf's face was very solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Let's go, let's go into the house and talk."
"I have bad news for you about this."
