The Lord's Mansion of Frozen Water Harbor.

“…… Whose letter? ”

Salvatore looked at the letter on the table with some curiosity.

This is a simple communal ritual - three purple pine trees and one amethyst can build a simple directional teleportation array. Although not everything can be transmitted, other people who have mastered the ritual can use a special aluminum foil to send messages to each other.

Almost every wizard tower has a similar lineage, which is mainly used to notify the instructor to come back for lessons. The ritual itself is low-cost, but it requires a number-like "phone number" - a two-digit number, with each wizard's tower on its own. Therefore, it is generally not assigned to their own number until the silver level.

Salvatore also got a copy in advance because of his special status.

Because the mentors of the Wizard Tower, as the transcendents of the guaranteed silver rank, it is impossible to stay in the Wizard Tower all year round. They also have their own things to deal with, their own family and relatives and friends to socialize with, and some precious materials, spells, and influences to find.

Although there are a lot of materials in the Wizard's Tower that can be used by the Mentors, the effects are hard to come by. Not to mention nightmares, there won't even be corpses in the wizard's tower, let alone nightmares.

For example, although they admit children around the age of 14, the teaching mode is different from that of the schools outside.

– because they don't have textbooks.

On the one hand, the great wizards are too lazy to make it up, and on the other hand, diligent wizards may not be recognized by other wizards.

Every year, the newly recruited wizard apprentices in Zedi Black Tower are generally sixty or seventy, and the maximum number will not exceed a hundred.

After all, this is said to be a wizarding school, but in fact, there is only one tower in total - although this tower is very thick and large, but after all, it is for study, research, and accommodation, and people can't recruit too much.

For the average wizard apprentice, the first two years are required to learn general spell knowledge, general knowledge of the Transcendent Realm, mathematics, elven language, basic runes, painting and sculpture, hand-to-hand combat, and military weapons teaching. These subjects are self-selected once every three months, there are no textbooks, no holidays, and if you don't understand, you can go to the library to check it yourself, or go to a well-connected tutor to ask......

After learning all these things and passing the exam, you will be allowed to choose your own specialization school and build a spell model. If the apprentice is smarter, this should be around the third year...... If you are stupid, there are wizard apprentices who can't pass the exam in five or six years.

After choosing a specialized school, it basically enters free-range mode - there are one or three large classes a month, with a week's notice, and the wizard apprentices sent by the classmates take it with the wizards. It's up to the instructor to decide what to talk about...... Of course, you can not come, as long as you can pass the exams of each school and advance and graduate.

For example, if you transform a wizard, you have to test your mouth.

Except for big classes, I basically check the information by myself. Apprentices who are just getting started, apprentices who choose specialization, advanced wizards, wizards who are ready to advance to the Grand Wizard...... Different levels of wizards have different levels of open materials. The only restriction is that if you leave the Wizard Tower without an advanced wizard, then you don't come back in the future.

Of course, the kind of people who can't advance to the wizard for many years, the general mentor will also dissuade them...... If you really don't want to retreat, you can not retreat, as long as it doesn't affect other people.

After all, wizard apprentices are not only talented children who are recommended by wizards outside......

There is also the special admission program "Patron".

If you're willing to try, then try it, anyway, you can't learn spells and you won't starve to death.jpg

The Wizard Tower does not charge tuition, after all, wizards are not short of money...... But there is a shortage of manpower.

In return, if you advance to the rank of Wizard or Grand Wizard in the Wizard Tower, you will be paid for serving the Wizard Tower for five to fifteen years.

Of course, if you can pass the exam of the tower master, you can also become a tutor. That's the payroll.

However, these salaries don't mean much to the Silver-tier wizards. It's simple for them to want to make money, and there's nothing they can spend it on...... What can tempt these silver-level wizards to stay is mainly the library inside the wizard tower.

This is the core component of the Wizard Tower - every wizard who graduates from the Wizard Tower, the books they see will be verified by the Wizard Tower, recorded and uploaded to the library at the same time. And when they die, the remaining spells on their bodies are also teleported to the Wizard's Tower...... Some old and powerful wizards will even sacrifice themselves to the Wizard Tower, allowing them to move freely in the tower in a soul state, a projection state, or a construct, and their curse will naturally be completely eaten by the Wizard Tower...... The premise is that the Wizard Tower can look down on them.

The Wizard's Tower itself is a giant, living spell.

There are no spell scrolls in this world, and the experimental products can basically be sold. For example, a transforming wizard can make a lot of money by selling things, a prophet wizard can also make a lot of money by telling fortunes, and an idol wizard is a master of curse killing and counter-curse killing, and all the big people must respect them......

And after advancing to the Silver Rank, if you don't want to continue to advance...... You can live like an ordinary person.

Sorcery is just a professional skill...... At least in the eyes of most wizards, spells are not their goal in life.

The pursuit of power, the pursuit of power, the pursuit of money, the pursuit of social influence...... That's the choice of more wizards.

Find materials to perform rituals, solidify your heterogeneous abilities, or extend your lifespan and optimize your body...... Or do what you want to do, and come out to work when you don't have money to earn some money. This is basically the life trajectory of wizards who graduated from the Wizard Tower.

Although the transcendent path is the path to heaven, not everyone has that desire.

Or rather...... Not everyone can let go of the good life they already hold in their hands and continue to climb at greater risk.

The path of silver to gold, known as "dyeing".

The great risk of breaking through the limits of mortals, the heterogeneous thirst to alienate one's own personality, the destruction and reshaping of old souls...... Each time you fail at each level, you may be doomed.

Salvatore, who used to just want to advance to silver.

Become a noble wizard, be invited to your home as an advisor by an earl or marquis, or open a secret shop in the king's capital wherever you want, selling whatever you want. Then he earned money to buy a few estates, hire seven or eight servants, marry a young and beautiful girl, and have two or three children...... This is his life plan, simple and unpretentious.

But I don't know when it started......

Such a future began to become obscure in Salvatore's mind.

"Look at the letter," whispered the shadow in his ear, "I guess the tower lord told you to go back." You've lost too much time, Sal. ”

"I guess so."

Salvatore said casually, opening the envelope.

Looking at the above content, Salvatore was a little stunned at first, and then his expression gradually became serious.

The letter was sent to him by the tower owner, and the content was very simple...... It's that they already know that Salvatore has successfully gotten the hammer. He urged him to hurry back and prepare to advance to silver.

It was nothing, Salvatore had expected it.

But he noticed that in the letter, the tower lord referred to Annan as "the little duke." He didn't believe it was a typo from the tower master......

…… They already know that this is Annan, not Don Juan?

This shows that this fact has already been checked by the magic of the prophetic school.

This Salvatore could have guessed.

After all, Annan did not have the ability to solidify the deviation and reflect the prophet's spells on his body, nor did he bring a stand-in. High-level prophetic spells will definitely be able to read this information.

But why did the tower owner say that it would be dangerous to follow Annan?

"Annan, in a few months, he is going to the royal capital......"

Salvatore pondered with some apprehension.

If the tower owner had already learned Annan's true identity...... Will there be anyone in the royal capital who will know?

Are they planning to make trouble for Annan?

What will Annan encounter when he goes to the royal capital this time?

Could anyone have tried to kill Annan?

"No, I have to tell Annan before I go......"

Salvatore muttered, his fingertips condensed crystallized and then flamed to burn the letter.

Then he pulled out a piece of paper and began to write something quickly.

- You have to complete the advanced ritual quickly.

If it goes well, you should be able to advance within a month.

Zedi Black Tower...... It's not far from the king's capital.

"If something happens to you, I'll help you, Annan......"

Salvatore muttered.

And the shadow, who has always liked to lift the bar, is silent about this.
