Chapter 233 I'm Desperate Too

Since one hundred and twenty years ago, the White Tower of Guantian in the eastern plain replaced the Qiyao Council and became the largest mage organization on the mainland of Mycroft, the apprenticeship system passed down from hand to hand was gradually replaced by a more advanced academy system, and This trend has also spread to other professions, even blacksmiths and tailors.

Originally, it would take at least five years to train a basic mage apprentice, knight, craftsman and tailor. Even if the talent is good, it will take two or three years. During this period of practice, apprentices can only serve as mentors. Doing unpaid work, on top of paying exorbitant tuition fees.

After all, this is the most precious knowledge. It is a skill that can support a person for a lifetime, and even benefit future generations. In this regard, a mentor is almost equivalent to recreating parents. Therefore, even if the conditions are so harsh, many people are desperate to go. Learn from those well-known mentors.

Therefore, through the academy system, the Guantian White Tower quickly cultivated a large number of new blood, walked in the forefront of the times, and kicked the Seven Luminaries Council, which adhered to the apprenticeship system, into the corner of the times. After a painful reform, the Seven Luminaries Council They also had to keep up with their competitors and opened colleges of all sizes.

The establishment of a college is the first step in the widespread dissemination of knowledge.

As time went by, there were more and more news about the academy named Winter Castle on Nissier Snow Mountain. Many people knew that it was not a pure mage academy, but because of the current employment The only teachers in the school are magicians, so there are only courses for magicians for the time being. When there are tutors from other professions in the future, courses in other departments will naturally be offered.

In terms of tuition fees, Winter Castle’s tuition fees are indeed not expensive, but they can’t be called cheap either. However, the lord said that it doesn’t matter if you can’t pay the tuition fees for the time being. The city hall can pay in advance, but you must work for the academy for free after you finish your studies. Over time, these expenses are repaid.

——This is a fart condition!

The above swearing is the first thought of many people after hearing the news. Seven gods are above, this is not usury, nor is it a treaty of overlord. Conditions, even the church can't open it!

"My nephews are in the small village on the other side of the mountain, I want to take them over quickly!"

"Hey, I sent my kid to his uncle to learn carpentry. Now it seems that I have to tell my elder brother quickly and tell him to call my son and his son to try!"

"Yeah, how can a carpenter be compared to a mage? Even if he is a warrior, he is still the direct descendant of the lord, so much better than those wild mercenaries!"

"Yes, and it's not limited to gender. My daughter can also be sent there to try. Anyway, it's a bit cold to go back and forth, so just wear some wolf fur padded jacket!"

Some people don't want their children to become mages. Some of them know that mages need to consume a lot of resources, and some of them know that their children are not that material at all, but Winterhold is a professional academy after all, not the usual The Master Academy, which also attracted them.

After all, compared to groping by yourself, it is faster to have a teacher to teach, not to mention, isn't their lord a dragon slayer? If he could teach him a little bit—even just a little bit, it would be a great capital!

And a small number of people look deeper.

For example, the old scholar Edward, he clearly knew that the establishment of the academy this time was not just to train mages, but to train the new direct line of the young lord.

Joshua Van Radcliffe, a real genius and strong man, can kill the monsters in the dragon's lair by himself. There is no doubt about his powerful mother, but not everything requires him to take action. A strong man Under his command, there must be other mid-level professionals as the backbone of his rule. This is a must, and it is also what this lord lacks.

Although he seems to be training a knight order, this is not enough. Edward can see that Joshua's future purpose is to explore the Great Ajax Mountains, which is a vast and unknown area, densely covered with black forests, and Infinity Warcraft, of course, also has countless treasures and precious mine veins. In order to develop those places, he definitely needs more manpower and professionals.

Here's an opportunity! An ambitious lord, his subordinates must have more opportunities to climb up than other stable lords. The old scholars clearly understand that this is an excellent opportunity that only comes once in a generation. If you grasp it well, you will definitely have the opportunity to become a Molda in the future. Via's upper echelons.

He will never let his grandkids miss out!

Although there are not many people who can see this, there are also quite a few. Even if it is instinct, they are unwilling to let go of this opportunity. The news spreads until the entire Moldavian Territory, even in other territories, there are quite a few People are going to spend a little more money and come here to try the opportunity. There are many talented children among them. For Moldavia, this is an excellent opportunity to attract talents.

Invisibly, the establishment of an academy stirred up the extremely dull atmosphere in the four northern regions due to the cold winter.

In fact, there was no time for everyone to contemplate and think. A few days later, in 833 Starfall, on February 28th, the Academy of Winterhold officially opened.

Nissier Snow Mountain, halfway up the mountain, Joshua walked down from the podium and gave his seat to the next speaker.

Before that, both Nostradamus and he had made a declaration and a speech, the specific content of which was so dry that it could be called pewter mixed with snow, but the soldier found it very pleasant—before he could only listen to other people talking nonsense on the stage , now it's finally his turn to talk eloquently and enjoy other people's irritable expressions.

But no matter what, there is still a limit on the length of the speech. The one who is speaking on the stage now is a proud disciple of the archmage and the instructor of the element department of the college. With the blessing of magic, her voice is as loud as thunder, making people Many people who came with their children and were preparing to take part in the test felt their eardrums vibrate.

Compared to Nostradamus and Joshua, this female mage named Sophia spoke much more concisely, explaining the school's system roughly in just a few words.

The courses of Wintercastle Academy are for half a year, and the twelfth period ends. The credits are judged to be excellent. If the credits do not meet the standards, then it is required to retake it, that is, half a year. Generally speaking, each course needs to be completed. The time is different.

At present, there is only the Department of Magic in the College of Wintercastle, and teachers of other occupations have not yet been recruited. In this department, there are only five courses in alchemy, magic, elements, changes and runes. The progress is the fastest, and it only takes three periods to complete, while the runes take the longest time, and it takes twelve periods to complete the course.

Generally speaking, the teaching fee for one period is 30 gold coins. Although the amount is relatively large for ordinary families, it is still affordable. However, this is only the admission fee. If you want to buy other sundries, you will need more much money. If the family is really poor, the college will borrow some money, but these are recorded in the account and require a lot of work in the future to repay.

The school rules are copied from those of other magic schools, and the details have been slightly modified according to the situation in the North. Apart from prohibiting students from climbing snow-capped mountains and exploring lakes at the foot of the mountains, there is actually nothing special about it. .

Now, there is another middle-aged mage standing on the stage. His name is Dill, and he is the rune instructor of Winterhold College. The man's strength is good, at least the magic power in his body is very solid, and the equipment all over his body is full of runes, so the defense is really good.

There are so many factions of mages that people can't count them. Elements, necromancers, alchemy, magic, changes, runes, prophecies, summons, and special scholars. These are all types of mages. Transformation and other special advances, then there are several types of warlocks, psionics, magic circles, and chosen ones.

The middle-aged mage has long, thick brown hair and a bright red rune on his forehead, exuding obvious fluctuations in magic power, and his speech gradually came to an end: "...so, as we all know, knowledge is power The source, mages are not a profession born for fighting, we are the inheritance and collection of knowledge, people who pursue wisdom, powerful power is only a by-product of truth, please don’t forget this point.”

Accompanied by the applause of everyone in the audience, Joshua saw that the time was almost up, so he walked towards Nostradamus who was standing aside, and signaled to him that he was going to start the talent test. Don't waste time and consume everyone's enthusiasm.

The old mage also nodded in agreement.

While Winterhold Academy was in full swing, in a room in the Royal Academy in the distant imperial capital.

A lot of young mages gathered here, and they all surrounded an old man with a serious face and long snow-white hair, watching the magic image playing in front of them.

And this video is the part where Nostradamus announced the establishment of the academy in the far north, and Joshua agreed, confirming that he is the president of Glory.

"Teacher, are you sure we don't need to do some damage?"

A student seemed a little impatient, and he asked the old man, with some injustice in his tone: "Master, he took so many resources, but he ran out to start his own academy. The association sees it!"

The other students also nodded in agreement. As an extreme mage, Nostradamus naturally enjoys the most resources and the highest priority, not the magicians of his faction. Naturally, he is envious. Now Seeing that his old enemy was able to open a magic academy by himself, his heart was already sour.

"idiot."

And the white-haired old man snorted coldly, and didn't give the student who made the suggestion a good look at all. He said seriously: "Who are you going to trouble?"

"That..." the student faltered.

"Don't be silly, that's Nostradamus and Joshua van Radcliffe!"

He slapped the table vigorously, and the old man shook his head vigorously, as if he felt sorry for his student's stupidity: "An extreme mage who once defeated three shaman legions head-on, a dragon slayer who has been in the limelight recently—— Who are you looking for trouble? Who have you hit? I dare not even say that you are looking for trouble!"

No one answered this question, because no one must be able to beat it!

None of the young mages present were idiots, and they naturally knew that even if everyone packed their bags, they might not be a match for one of these two.

Although the followers of wisdom do not insist on strong power, it is obvious that sometimes strong power can solve most problems, which is more convenient and faster than wisdom.

After pondering for a while, the old man frowned, and said to a certain student who had been sitting silently: "Gana, you are from the Northland, and you are also a classmate of Joshua in the Military Academy. What does this person think?"

Ghana, who was named, was stunned for a moment, then thought hard, he shook his head and said, "To be honest, teacher, I also feel very puzzled, although Joshua used to have excellent grades, he was not so strong. "

He looked really puzzled, and his brows were frowned: "When I saw him in the military academy, his temper was not as violent as it is now. He is a very gentle guy who is good at taking care of juniors." , who always smiles when I meet, and can cook... But now, when I look at his face through the magic image, I feel an instinctive sense of fear... The difference is too big, it always feels completely different personal."

"Then what weakness does he usually have? For example, fear, is he not good at dealing with something?"

When Garner heard this question, he fell into long-term contemplation. In the end, he could only shake his head heavily.

You ask me, what can I do? I am also very desperate.

Your character cards are all fighters, thieves, rangers, and no mages. I don’t think it’s okay to add a single character to become a teacher.

The second change, ask for a monthly ticket, a recommended ticket (meow?)
