Throne of Magical Arcana

Several carriages drove smoothly across the street, and slowly stopped under the huge magic spire in the center of Sky City.

Looking at it from a distance, I didn't feel it, but when I came to the front, Heidi, Leilia and other apprentices were full of amazement, because the neck had to look up very tired to see the spire of this magic tower. Moreover, it is different from the gloomy and mysterious magic towers in ancient times. Its outer layer is entirely made of silver-gray materials that shimmer with metallic light, and it has a thrilling aesthetic feeling that the apprentices cannot describe.

"Uh, a modern metal building." This type of building is one of Lucien's favorite styles, and his favorability for the Magic Council has suddenly increased a lot.

As the "master", Lazar was very satisfied with Lucien's love for this magic tower. Seeing Felipe and others in front of him disappearing at the gate, he clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile: "This is the magic tower where the parliament headquarters is located. , also called Allinge, is the paradise that many magicians yearn for. Well, let's go in quickly, it is already 4:15 in the afternoon, and the staff of the parliament headquarters will rest at 6 o'clock, and only a few are in charge of the entire building. City security and surveillance are left behind."

"Mr. Lazar, can you come back tomorrow? We are too tired and need to rest." Many magic apprentices were quite afraid of the arcane level assessment and asked. Even Annick was a little hesitant, and had never experienced success again and again. Accumulation, his confidence has not been fully established.

Lazar led Lucien and the magic apprentices up the gray stone steps in front of the magic tower: "You just arrived today, exhaustion is indeed a problem, but you need to ask the gentleman or lady in charge of the assessment, they will I will reschedule the assessment time for you. However, if you have not passed the assessment, you will not be able to receive the two badges of magic and arcane. Many things will be more troublesome. And if you start learning arcane and magic one day earlier, you can become a real magician one day earlier .”

He didn't ask the apprentices to take the assessment in a tired state, but reminded them not to shirk after a day's rest.

Soon, a group of people came to the silver-gray door of the magic tower with countless mysterious patterns.

Just when Lucien and the others were about to pass through the half-open door, two big black eyes suddenly popped up, blinking and looking at the other side:

"Welcome to Allinge. On behalf of all arcanists and magicians, I welcome you."

There was a brisk and cheerful sound from the gate, and the two metal doors swung back and forth, as if waving.

Lazar laughed and said, "Prospell, you have never welcomed me like this before."

"Because I smell the breath of life." Prospell didn't pay attention to Lazar's joke.

Lazar turned his head and introduced to the stunned apprentices: "Prospell, the powerful alchemy life fused with the magic tower, was refined by Douglas and other great arcane lords who spent a long time collecting special incomplete souls. It came out. Hehe, there are many alchemy lives in the headquarters of the council, and there is no place that is more luxurious in similar aspects than here."

Lucien has been curious and interested in alchemy life since he was in the ancient castle of Karondia. At this time, he couldn't help asking: "Lazar, from which ring do you start to learn the knowledge of alchemy life?"

"First of all, you need the necromancy tree of arcane knowledge about souls, and then you need to learn the basics of alchemy life reconciliation. After these studies are completed, you can only make alchemy life after you become a high-level magician. Haha, so in In the ancient magic empire, only high-level magicians can have their own magic tower." Lazar casually introduced.

Prospell's voice suddenly became lower: "Sir, if you are interested in alchemy life, please refine a lady in the future. The magic towers around me are all annoying males!"

In the eyes of Lucien and others, the image of this alchemy life was immediately equated with obscenity.

Seeing that Lucien didn't answer, Prosper laughed dryly: "Haha, I'm just kidding. Well, the 'apprentice assessment department' is the third area on the first floor, and the 'magician management department' is the fourth area on the first floor. The fifth area on the first floor It is the 'Mission Area', where you can accept tasks and release tasks. The sixth area on the first floor is the 'Exchange Department', which helps you exchange money, materials, items, information, etc. in your hands into arcane points, or vice versa.'Ordinary Arcane The library' is the first area on the first floor, and the 'magic exchange room' is the second area on the first floor."

"If you want to meditate and experiment, you can go to the second to ninth floors. There are meditation rooms, magic laboratories, bondage rooms, energy rooms, magic gardens, etc. Of course, you need to pay money or arcane points to use them. The tenth floor is " The headquarters of the two periodicals Arcane and Magic, and the rest of the periodicals are either in other places in Allinge, or in different cities in several kingdoms, hosted by different organizations or branches of magic councils in different countries."

"The eleventh to fifteenth floors are the office locations of several committees and the exclusive lounges for the committee members. The sixteenth to twentieth floors are free for qualified 'Arcane and Magic Research Group' to apply. Twenty The first to twenty-fifth floors are the best magic laboratories in different research fields, and the twenty-sixth to thirtieth floors have the 'advanced arcane and magic library', material warehouses, high-level summoning room, etc. Thirty The 1st to 35th floors belong to the lords of the Supreme Council, but I heard that the Supreme Council recently wanted to set aside the 31st and 32nd floors as a college that tries to focus on teaching low-level magicians..."

Prospell sputtered out a series of words non-stop, which made the apprentices startled for a while.

"Okay, you guys go in quickly." Prospell sang an out-of-key song after finishing speaking:

"Don't touch it casually, it's my muscle."

"Don't touch the walls, it will make me itchy."

"Don't vandalize public property, internal organs are always fragile."

...

After being "farewelled" by this weird alchemy life, Lucien and the others finally walked into the headquarters of the council. The first thing they saw was a circular silver hall. In the center of the hall was a disc with a diameter of one meter. It depicts a complex magic circle, and around the disc is a yellow-green mask that extends to the second floor.

Around the lobby, six zones and stairwells are marked respectively.

"That's the elevator." Lazar introduced, and then asked Lucien for advice, "Let's go to the 'Apprentice Assessment Department' in the third district first, and after the apprentices are arranged, I will take you, Evans, to the fourth district. 'Wizard Administration', no problem?"

"No problem, after all, I've been mentoring them for a while." Lucien didn't mind, watching the magicians and apprentices coming and going who were dressed close to Holm's style, and followed Lazar to the third district.

…………

There are rows of rooms of different colors in the third district. An old man with a slender cheek and a stiff dress received Lazar, Lucien and others.

The old man named Simeon said seriously to the apprentices: "You register first, and then I will provide you with a basic arcane assessment. After finding out your arcane level and inclination, I will arrange for you to enter different schools. Magic school."

"Mr. Simeon, we just arrived at noon today after experiencing the turbulence of the Strait of Storms, and then sat on the magic steam train for three hours. We are already very tired. Can we postpone the arcane examination until tomorrow?" Katrina herself She was not afraid, but she, who considered herself one of the leaders of the apprentices, stood up and asked for everyone without hesitation at this time.

The request is reasonable. Although Simeon is old-fashioned, he is not hard-hearted, so he nodded: "Then you should register first, and come here for the assessment at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I will arrange for you to rest in the guest room in the third district tonight. Remember, you have no Arcane and Magic badges, you must not go out of the third district."

"Thank you, Mr. Simeon, we will definitely remember." The apprentices were all overjoyed.

Seeing them finish the registration one by one, while Lucien stood by the side without moving, and his clothes were obviously in the continental style, Simeon was a little puzzled and said: "You don't do the registration?"

"Mr. Simeon, I am an official magician." Lucien smiled and gestured.

Simeone showed a little surprise on his old-fashioned face, and then looked Lucien up and down: "A magician who is less than twenty years old? The spiritual talent is outstanding. If you want to learn astrology or light and dark magic, Or concentrate on the research of mathematical knowledge, you can consider joining our 'High Tower'."

Lazar looked at Simeon with "sorrowful" eyes: "Mr. Evans wants to concentrate on learning the basics of arcane arts first, and wait until he has a formal arcane level before choosing."

Simeon wore two badges on his body, one with silver stars on a black background, like a deep starry sky, but only two stars, and one with two black rings on a silver background, cold and mysterious. According to Lazar's previous introduction on the train, the former is the badge of the second-level arcanist, and the latter is the badge of the second-ring magician.

After listening to Lazar's words, he showed a rare smile: "It is rare for such a sober young man now to know how to study and research at ease, instead of indulging in invitations from various organizations. Evans, our tower is A relatively neutral organization, in step with the parliament, there are many arcanists who like to research and explore and don't like to fight, hehe, okay, Lazar will cry if I say it again."

While chatting here, Heidi, Leilia and the others kept chanting and reciting theorems and laws, etc. Seeing that Splinter frowned slightly: "The study of arcane art lies in ordinary times. The assessment will be tomorrow. It won't work for you."

Awakened by his words, Heidi rushed to Lucien: "Mr. Evans, is there a good way to review?"

"I agree with Sprint in this regard. You have practiced enough. What you need tonight is a good rest and simple browsing."

Annick and Leilia nodded, looked at Lucien with some reluctance, and said at the same time: "Mr. Evans, will you come to our assessment tomorrow?"

"If there's nothing else, I'll come." Lucien smiled and nodded. If he didn't come, how would he know how my guiding task was done?

However, seeing the way Annick and the others cheered softly after he agreed, Lucien softened his heart a little, and turned to Lazar and said, "Let's go to the Magician Management Department. By the way, Lazar, go' Ordinary Arcane Library' and 'Magic Exchange Room' can only use arcane points for borrowing books or exchanging magic, or can they use Jintale?"

"It's all right." Lazar looked at Lucien with a smile, "But, Evans, the first condition for entering these two places is that you have an activated arcane badge, otherwise you can obediently take the free gift from the council." Let’s study the basic books on arcane and magic. After you have learned to a certain level, you can go to the ‘Magician Management Department’ to apply for the arcane assessment, and if you pass, you will get a basic arcane point and activate the arcane badge.”

Lucien frowned: "The easiest way to activate the arcane emblem is to submit a new spell?"
