They entered the huge mage tower covering several acres, which was a huge office hall.

Basically, all the things that mages need to be certified by the mage association, and the business they handle are in this place.

And every clerk here is a mage, almost without exception!

And the people who came here to do business were also mages.

When Yin Shengzhi and others walked into it, it caused a small sensation.

Of course, it was not because of Yin Shengzhi and others, but because of the appearance of Archmage Raymond.

No matter how approachable Archmage Raymond is, there are not many opportunities for ordinary mages to see an archmage.

Especially the mages who come to do business from other places, it is even more rare to see archmages!

At this moment, someone exclaimed: "Look, it's the Archmage!"

"It's Archmage Raymond, and High Mage Levi, High Mage Kroll...... What day is today, why are so many high-level mages appearing......"

Even high-level mages like Levai are all at the top of the Mage Association, or famous powerful mages in the Mage Association.

In short, they were all high-level mages that were rarely seen by ordinary mages, and now they all appeared in front of them.

For a while, I saw many mages in the hall saluting this way in a mess!

Of course, they also noticed Yin Shengzhi and the others, and many of them who were moving quickly had already remembered who Yin Shengzhi and the others were, and the purpose of coming here, and they all cheered.

"I'm going to make a lot of money this time!"

"What kind of deficit has the association been saying for the past two years, the deficit, the subsidy of the mage tower of several high-ranking mages has been reduced!

Some mages seemed happy, and of course there were also mages who seemed unimpressed.

"Don't be too happy, the association is not an equipment manufacturer, how much money can it make?"

"Although the association is not a manufacturer of magic crystal equipment, the core technology is in the hands of the association, and the manufacturer can only produce supporting equipment, at most to make hard money. In short, the association should have a lot more money on hand this year......"

All kinds of noisy voices couldn't escape Yin Shengzhi's ears, which made him know a lot of things that he didn't know before.

No wonder it was the Mage Guild that came forward to greet him, not the council of Arliga, and not anyone. It turns out that this is because of this!

In Daqi, all the official mages combined, I don't know if there are a hundred.

And here, at a glance, there are mages everywhere, as if they are worthless.

Yin Shengzhi Shidel and the others were okay, and the mages and apprentices who went abroad for the first time all had a shocked feeling when they saw this situation.

It has always been said that Daqi is a mage desert, and it is very far from the countries of Luoba, Arliga, and even the Eastern Wa.

I didn't know where the gap was, or I didn't have a perceptual understanding.

And now there is, and it's incredibly profound.

Archmage Raymond showed them around the Mage Guild, and they quickly left the ground floor lobby and headed upstairs.

"Each mage tower is a giant spell fortress and a spell amplifier at the same time. In the Mage Tower, the Mages are invincible......

But no other country will value the Mage Tower more than we in Arliga, do you know why?"

Raymond seemed to ask Yin Sheng casually.

Yin Shengzhi shook his head, and Shi Del and the others were also puzzled.

In the Luoba Continent, let alone a high-level mage, even if it is an archmage, they don't necessarily have their own personal mage tower.

"That's why we in Alliga have more archmages than in the Alfred Kingdom......

This system, established by the great Holy Mage Kleist himself, with the Mage Tower, the chances of a High Mage becoming an Archmage are greatly increased. ”

This is a core secret, not only Yin Shengzhi, but even Shi Del and the others can't help but their ears to listen.

It's a pity that Archmage Raymond didn't say anything clear, and after a few hurried words, he smiled and said, "So, no matter how expensive the Mage Tower is, we also have to repair it."

Helping every High Mage build a Mage Tower is one of the greatest tasks of our Society. Even if a mage tower is the cheapest, it will cost tens of millions of gold yuan......"

Tens of millions of people building a mage tower is not too good, Yin Shengzhi knows this very well.

"Although now we have more and more High Mages, this is a good thing. But on the other hand, there is more and more financial pressure on our association......

Anyway, the money you brought this time is enough for our Mage Association to build one or two more Mage Towers!"

So, the mages below were a little excited just now, don't you mind!"

At this time, Yin Shengzhi didn't know the deep meaning of Raymond's words, he smiled and said: "Everything about the mage is a gold-devouring beast, I heard that your mages in Alliga, even if they are the primary astral body, each person can get a grant of thirty magic crystals from the association every year. ”

Thirty magic crystals doesn't sound like much, but it's also the figure of fifteen thousand gold dollars, think about how many mages there are in Arliga?

And this is still the lowest level mage, and every time you get higher, you will have more magic crystals.

This is an astronomical amount to think about, and even if the entire Great Qi is completely dragged down financially, it will not be able to pay it.

In fact, don't say that an agricultural country like Daqi, even if it changes to the Alfred Kingdom, it may not be able to withstand it!

"There is also the Mage Academy in the City of a Thousand Towers, which enrolls about 1,000 students every year, and this cost is astronomical......"

Yin Shengzhi sighed that he had counted how much money his Nanming Island Mage Academy had spent in a year.

This is still a very economical situation.

Not to mention anything else, just say that more than 10,000 people sign up in the City of Thousand Towers every year, and half of the funds for the Enlightenment Elixir are subsidized by the Mage Association. That's all the money for a year in Nanming Island......

According to rough estimates, the City of Thousand Towers Mage School spends more than twenty times as much money every year as Nanming Island.

With a little calculation, you can know how big the gap in national strength is between Daqi and Arliga!

"Not every mage can lead the magic crystal subsidy, and they need to pass the assessment of the association. Raymond said lightly: "But even so, more than one-third of all mages receive subsidies every year.

This expenditure alone will not be less than 200 million gold dollars per year...... The more advanced the mage, the more subsidized. ”

At first, some of the apprentices listened to the sidelines, but they didn't have a concrete idea yet. But when Archmage Raymond said the number of 200 million, they realized that it was such a huge number.

Yin Shengzhi was also surprised, at least 200 million gold yuan of magic crystal subsidies, plus at least 30 million a year of the Thousand Towers City Mage Academy, just these two items, the annual cost of the Alliga Mage Association was close to 250 million gold yuan.
