Chapter 1182 Radicalism (Monday Ticket
Immortal City, a city with a permanent population of 500,000 is already a first-class bustling city in this world. The curfew system that is usually enforced in the kingdom of ordinary people does not exist in this city.
Because the law and order in this city is probably the best in the world. In addition to the existence of various city defense guards here, there are also a large number of low-level mages who will also undertake security patrol tasks.
Although mages are higher than ordinary people in this world, the competition in the mage world is also very cruel.
One of the most common ways to train mages in this world is to pass the mage's test during the annual aptitude test in the Immortal City, and then enter the mage school specially opened by the Immortal City to study and become an apprentice.
After completing all the learning tasks and passing the graduation test, you can officially become a mage apprentice. Every year, the Immortal City graduates hundreds of mage apprentices. Becoming a mage apprentice does not mean that you are a serious mage. Everything I have experienced before is just a prerequisite for becoming a mage apprentice.
Because learning magic requires a lot of knowledge, if you don't go through three to five years of basic training, you don't even have the qualifications to become a mage apprentice.
And becoming a mage apprentice doesn't mean everything will be fine, because the competition begins after graduating from the mage school in the Immortal City. And from here, we can judge the future of this mage apprentice.
Why are apprentices called apprentices? Because you have to learn from a master, you are called an apprentice!
The Council of the Immortal City stipulates that every middle-level (fourth-level and above) mage must lead at least one mage apprentice every three years, and at least one first-level official mage must be trained every five years.
This can be regarded as a semi-forced task, which is for the orderly inheritance of mages. Of course, mages who have completed such a training task can also receive rewards from the mage association, whether it is money or magic items, it can be regarded as a generous reward.
Therefore, under this system, almost all the good seedlings are selected by those powerful and powerful mages. There are not many disciples that the mage class can choose.
Of course, such mages themselves are poor (in the mage world), so they can't give much support and training to their disciples. In addition, it took them a long time to cultivate to the level of intermediate mages. There is nothing extraordinary about the talent and level of teaching.
So in order to complete the task assigned by the Mage Association and get the bounty, they let the disciples practice a certain first-level spell, and practice one in five years.
Because the Mage Association stipulates that as long as one has mastered a first-order spell, one is considered a first-order mage.
In fact, after graduating from the mage school, mage apprentices have basically mastered ten to twenty kinds of basic magic. Whether it's ignition, lighting, or slowing, these are all basic magic.
The biggest difference between the first-order official magic and these basic magics is the power. A missile technique in basic magic can at most knock a person into the air, and if the opponent is wearing thick armor, it may not be able to kill him in one blow. The power is like an ordinary rifle.
However, a missile technique of a first-order mage can easily destroy a small bungalow of 100 square meters with three bedrooms and two halls in the battlefield, as powerful as a cannonball.
If there is no talent, then the only way to spend five years trying to become a formal mage is to die on a single spell. And all learning and training is based on learning this spell.
So it is almost certain that a mage apprentice will have great achievements in the future with which mage he follows. So not only mages transfer apprentices, apprentices will also choose mages.
Those mages with good skills will receive numerous apprentices' visits to ask for worship every year, hoping that the mages can accept themselves as apprentices. As for those sorcerers whose level is very average or even somewhat disrespects apprentices, even if he chooses an apprentice, the apprentice may not necessarily follow him.
In this way of cultivating mages, there are actually many factions inside the seemingly powerful Immortal City. For ordinary people, mages are masters, masters.
But when the mages greet each other and greet each other, they will ask: Which mage did you study under when you became a first-level mage as an apprentice?
If the mage who follows is of a low rank, it is generally unavoidable to look down upon them. If the mage who follows is high-ranked and famous, then he will naturally greet him. If the same mage brings out different batches of apprentices, it is inevitable that the brothers and sisters will get closer.
And in such a master-student inheritance relationship, coupled with the unique parliamentary system of the Immortal City, the mages who want to speak and have power in the Immortal City need to rely on the support of their own disciples.
However, the relationship between the factions in the Immortal City is complicated. This has led to Qin Kuairen and Feng Meier's teacher Carter. Although he is one of the five speakers and one of the legendary mages, he is also facing difficulties.
The Chancellor Council in the Immortal Spire.
"This plague is almost destructive. We can't let it continue to spread. If it continues to spread, we will not be able to hold on here sooner or later." One of the five speakers, the legendary mage with a storm controller, spoke . This is an old man as strong and majestic as an old lion.
"I've been to the country of Icefield, and that country has been almost destroyed. Except for the king city, which is barely a city, other places have been almost destroyed. Cannibalism is almost becoming the norm. I also found there A city of people."
Luo Lie's words caught the attention of Ariel, the Ice Lady who was sitting on his left. This lady, who was nearly eighty years old, still looked elegant. If you only looked at her appearance, you would think she was only in her forties. At nearly eighty years old, she is also the youngest among the legendary mages.
Ariel asked curiously: "Are they still selling slaves now? But yes, being a slave is at least better than being a refugee if you have enough to eat. If it doesn't work, selling yourself is also the choice of many people." She The human market is understood as a slave market.
But Luo Lie shook his head: "It's not a human market that hires people to sell slaves. The so-called human market in the Ice Country is a market for selling human flesh. I saw with my own eyes that they put human organs and limbs on the chopping board. I also saw a human market with my own eyes. A mother sold herself to a peddler in the market in exchange for food. She wanted the peddler to give her a good time, but the peddler thought her skin was so tender that it would not be fresh if she killed it. What must the customer choose? Parts, what part is he cutting for customers, so that customers can buy the freshest meat. Only in this way can he sell at a high price.”
Although Ice and Snow Lady Ariel is already in her eighties, she was still dumbfounded when she heard such a story: "How can there be such absurd things in this world?!"
"When people are extremely hungry, all kinds of ridiculous things will happen." Luo Lie shook his head.
"Then have you destroyed this heartless human city? Those human traffickers deserve a thousand cuts! Let them also experience the feeling of being cut off from their bodies!" Ariel frowned angrily.
However, Luo Lie sighed: "Destroy it? How? I destroy this human city today, and there will be other human cities popping up tomorrow. How many human cities are there in Icefield Country? Who can count them?! They can't be killed. Can't get rid of it!"
"Absurd! You are conniving with crime!" An angry shout burst out from the mouth of the old man opposite Luo Lie: "Luo Lie, you are the accomplice of these executioners! You have the ability to eliminate evil but you don't. How are you different from a murderer?! "
The old man's saliva sprayed on Luo Lie's face directly, and Luo Lie's face jumped: "Carter! Don't think that you can tell me what to do because you are old. If you have the ability, you can put an end to this plague! Tell me what's wrong! A solution to this plague! Don’t just talk about it. You hide in the tower every day and talk about researching the plague antidote for several years, have you researched it yet?!”
It was Qin Kuairen and Feng Meier's teacher Carter, the famous Lord of Light, who spouted a lot of saliva.
"I travel around the world every day. I saw these scenes with my own eyes. At first I still cared. But I found out that I couldn't control it. Do you think I feel good watching all this?!" Luo Lie Roaring like an old lion.
On the right hand side, an old man wearing a black robe and silver-white hair and beard, Barton, the Lord of Evil Spirits, pressed his hand: "Calm down, both of you, you are both over two hundred years old together, don't quarrel." Yes. Let me say that the most important thing at the moment is to solve the plague problem."
Carter and the other three looked at him: "Barton, do you have a solution?"
Barton and Karl, the element messenger sitting next to him, exchanged glances. Button said slowly: "I have a solution, which may solve this plague, but the price may be very high."
Luo Lie curled his lips: "The price we are paying now is already high enough, are we afraid of any other price? If you have a way, just say it, don't keep it!"
Barton said word by word: "Burn all the grain fields in the mortal kingdom!"
