A long solid wood table with quill pens, ink, several large sheets of parchment, and a book that had been opened.

The black teacup was still steaming, and it gave off a fragrance similar to that of grass.

The black-maned bear crouching in the corner was napping again, its noisy purring that made the room need to raise their voices to hear each other.

Dean Bhammer, who stood at the window, spoke in a hoarse voice, he had forcibly cast a second spell in the Colosseum last time, which caused his weak body to be severely damaged, and he still had not fully recovered.

"Raymond, the world outside is very vast, and the powerful control the vast territory, and it is said that some top wizards can open up other planes and communicate directly with some strange and powerful creatures. The embarrassed Dean Smoother took a sip of the liquid in his cup, introducing the outer world of the Dao he knew.

Because Black River Valley Academy is the only place on the entire West Coast with testing capabilities, although it has fallen down, it still has an influence that ordinary people can't imagine.

In the more than eighty years that Dean Palmer has been at the helm of the academy, he has personally sent away more than two hundred wizard apprentices, but now there are only a dozen people who can bring back the news.

Most of them have not heard from them in the three or five years since they left, or have received direct notices of their deaths.

And there are very few people who can become official wizards.

Among the only people who still have information to come back, only one of them was sent on board by Dean Palmer fifty years ago, and he successfully entered the Land of the Tower and became one of the few famous wizards.

And those who return to the West Coast one after another are basically attacking the official wizard losers, they do not have the qualifications or courage to impact the official wizards again, but they are not willing to stay outside and become servants or outcasts, so they will return to the West Coast with full of trauma and enjoy a peaceful life here.

Standing at the window, Dean Bhammer, who smelled of decay, Raymond frowned, he didn't know how to describe this old man, because in Raymond's previous impression, this old man seemed very mean, as can be seen from the fact that he only saluted Raymond's badge.

But when Raymond came to the Black River Valley Academy yesterday, the old man's impression of Raymond had changed a lot.

Embarrassed, nostalgic, and with the usual nagging of the elderly, his expression became gentler and his tone was very respectful, and he would use honorific titles when mentioning Raymond's name.

They chatted casually, but as the black-maned bear purred louder and louder, Dean Palmer finally couldn't bear this kind of communication with his throat pulled.

He led Raymond to the castle's teaching area, sighing apologetically. "As you get older, you will have more emotional things. Let me take you on a tour of the Black River Valley Academy, and see the teenagers who will be on board with you, and in three months you will be on your way. ”

This castle located in the academy's zhōngyāng is the teaching area of the Black River Valley Academy, and Raymond, who followed Dean Bhammer, was led by Dean Bhammer to see the teenagers learning meditation symbols in the room.

They were basically teenagers, and they all sat around the classroom with serious expressions, and everyone had a wizard's book spread out in front of them.

Black River Valley College, which has only five teachers, including Dean Palmer, will only have five people who are qualified to board the ship after three months.

Two of them have a family heritage and are descendants of the royal family of the Kingdom of Ogasso, and the other three were sent here as young children and worked hard to reach the first level of apprenticeship, and all five of them were placed on the top floor of the castle to carry out their regular studies.

Black River Valley College has been on the West Coast for hundreds of years, but its facilities are still rudimentary.

Hundreds of wizards' books made by formal wizards, explanations of wizarding meditation techniques, and then the techniques mastered by the teachers, will be taught to these teenagers.

Because meditation takes up a lot of time, these teenagers studying in the academy are very pale in face and weak in body.

After leading Raymond to visit the teaching area, Dean Bhammer took Raymond to the library of Black River Valley Academy.

In the library room located in the basement of the castle, the dozens of tall bookshelves were mostly empty, and there were only dozens of books on the place, and Raymond couldn't help but ask why.

Dean Hammer, who was a little ashamed, told Raymond that because of a fire that occurred in the castle three hundred years ago, the collection of books in the Black River Valley Academy for many years was destroyed, and in the case of losing the supply channel of books, there were only so many books left in the entire Black River Valley Academy.

In the face of these books, Raymond's desire to read them was unquenchable. "Dean Palmer, because I have been taught by my teacher for a long time, I would like to refer to the books in the academy. ”

Very readily agreed to Raymond's request, and Dean Palmer also specially told Raymond that there are many theories about the collection of books here, but the conclusions in many books need to be judged by individuals.

Maybe the skills in one book will be of great help to the reader, but maybe the slightest flaw in the same book will cause serious harm to another reader.

Therefore, without being explicitly verified to be suitable for oneself, all books on theories can only be used as references, not fully trusted.

There are countless wizards with development possibilities, and each of them has a different understanding, so for wizards, there is never a completely correct theory, only a theory that is suitable for the individual.

Listening to Dean Bhammer's kind admonition, Raymond, who frowned, realized that although a creature like a wizard has great strength, erudite knowledge, and even a nearly infinite lifespan, there are also great risks in the process of learning.

Perhaps a small, unproven trick that is useful to the individual can get a person into trouble.

"Raymond, even if he is an apprentice wizard, he can't judge according to the thinking of ordinary people, because all those who embark on the path of wizards have already transcended the social group of ordinary people and entered the world that belongs to wizards, you need to be mentally prepared for this, otherwise you will feel pessimistic and hopeless. ”

After introducing his experience, Dean Palmer smiled wryly and gave Raymond advice.

Sensing that this was a well-intentioned piece of advice, Raymond bowed down to show his gratitude.

And through the communication with Dean Bhammer, Raymond, who had a great impression of this old man, hesitated for a moment but stopped Dean Bhammer, who wanted to leave the library and let him slowly read inside.

Frankly told the possibility of the usurper conspiracy of the Tori family, facing Raymond with a distressed and serious expression, Dean Bhammer laughed, and he told Raymond flatly: "I warned you just now, wizards are above the ordinary world, and you can't think according to the way of thinking of ordinary people's society." What you need to change your mindset is ......";
