Chapter 286 Letter From the Black Tower of Zedi

Frozen Water Port City Lord's Mansion.

"...whose letter?"

Salvatore looked curiously at the letter that had just been sent on the table.

This is a simple public ceremony - three purple pine wood and a piece of amethyst can construct a simple directional teleportation array. Although not everything can be sent, other people who master this ritual can use a special aluminum foil to send messages to each other.

Almost every wizard tower has a similar heritage, mainly used to notify the tutor to come back to class. The cost of the ceremony itself is very low, but because it needs to occupy a number similar to a "phone number" - this number has only two digits, and each wizard tower is independent. Therefore, it is generally not until the silver rank that they are assigned their own numbers.

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

Because the mentors of the wizard tower, as extraordinary people who guarantee the bottom 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 members, relatives and friends to communicate with, and some cherished materials, curses and influences that they have to look for.

While there are plenty of materials within the Wizard's Tower for mentors to use, influence is hard to come by. Not to mention nightmares. There are no corpses in the wizard tower, let alone nightmares.

Take Zedi Black Tower as an example. Although they all recruit children around the age of fourteen, their 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, the diligent wizards may not be recognized by other wizards.

The number of new wizard apprentices recruited by the Black Tower of Zedi every year is generally sixty or seventy, with no more than one hundred at most.

After all, it 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, it is for studying and studying the three uses of accommodation, and people can't recruit too many.

Ordinary wizard apprentices need to learn general knowledge of spells, general knowledge of the supernatural world, mathematics, Elvish language, basic runeology, painting and sculpture, unarmed combat, and military weapons in the first two years. These subjects are self-selected courses every three months. There are no textbooks or vacations. 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 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 smart, it should be around the third year... If it is stupid, there are wizard apprentices who can't pass the exam in five or six years.

After choosing the specialization school, you basically enter the free-range mode-one to three large classes a month, with a week's notice, which are attended by the wizard apprentices of the classmates and wizards. The specific content is up to the instructor to decide... Of course, you can also not come, as long as you can pass the exams of each school and graduate.

For example, transforming a wizard requires a test of lip service.

In addition to the big class, basically they go to check the information by themselves. Apprentices who have just started, apprentices who have chosen specializations, advanced wizards, wizards who are preparing to advance to great wizards... Different levels of wizards have different levels of open data. The only limitation is - if you leave the wizard tower without advanced wizard, then don't come back in the future.

Of course, the kind of people who can't advance to the wizarding level for many years, the general tutor will also persuade them to retire... If you really don't want to retire, you can not retire, as long as it doesn't affect other people.

After all, wizard apprentices aside from talented children being recommended by out-of-town wizards...

There is also a special admissions program called Patrons.

If you want to try it, try it, anyway, you can't learn magic and you can't starve to death.jpg

Wizard towers do not charge tuition fees. After all, wizards are not short of money... but they are short of manpower.

As a price, if you advance to a wizard or a great wizard in the wizard tower, you have to serve the wizard tower for five to fifteen years as a reward.

Of course, if you can pass the tower master's exam, you can also become a mentor. That's how you get paid.

However, these wages mean nothing to wizards of the silver rank. It is very simple for them to make money, and there is nothing to spend... The only thing that can tempt these silver-level wizards to stay is the library inside the wizard's tower.

This is the core component of the wizard tower - every wizard who graduates from the wizard tower, the books they see will be checked for value by the wizard tower, recorded and uploaded to the library synchronously. And after they die, the remaining spells on their bodies will also be sent to the wizard tower... Some old and powerful wizards will even sacrifice themselves to the wizard tower, so that they can be in soul state, projection state or It is the state of the constructs that move freely in the tower, and their curse is naturally completely eaten by the wizard tower... The premise is that the wizard tower can see them.

The wizard's tower itself is a giant, living curse.

There are no spell scrolls in this world, and experimental products can basically be sold. For example, transforming wizards can make a lot of money by selling things, prophet wizards can also make a lot of money by fortune-telling, idol wizards are masters of curse killing and anti-curse killing, and all the big men must respect them...

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

Spells are just a professional skill... At least in the eyes of most wizards, spells themselves are not their life goals.

The pursuit of great power, the pursuit of power, the pursuit of money, the pursuit of social influence... This is the choice of more wizards.

Find materials to perform rituals, solidify your heterogeneous abilities, or extend your lifespan, optimize your body... This is basically the life trajectory of the wizards who graduated from the wizard tower.

Although the Transcendent Path is the Path to Heaven, not everyone has that desire.

In other words...not everyone can let go of the good life they already hold in their hands, risk even greater dangers, and continue to climb up.

Silver's road to gold is called "dyeing".

The huge risk of breaking through the limits of mortals, the heterogenous desire to alienate one's own personality, the destruction and remodeling of old souls... All levels, each failure may lead to their own doom.

Salvatore, once only wanted to advance to silver.

Become a noble great wizard, be invited by an earl or marquis to be a consultant at home, or open a secret shop in any royal capital to sell things you make. Then earn money to buy a few manors, 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 don't know when to start...

Such a future has gradually become blurred in Salvatore's mind.

"Look at the letter," Shadow whispered in his ear, "I guess the tower master told you to go back. You're wasting too much time, Thrall."

"I guess so."

Salvatore said casually and opened the envelope.

Looking at the above content, Salvatore was a little surprised 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... that is, they had already learned that Salvatore had successfully obtained the hammer. I urged him to go back quickly and prepare to advance to silver.

This is nothing, Salvatore had expected.

But he noticed that the tower owner addressed Annan as "the little duke" in the letter. He doesn't believe that this is a wrong word by the tower owner...

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

This shows that someone has already checked this fact with the magic of the prophetic school.

This Salvatore can guess.

After all, Annan did not have the ability to solidify the offset, reflect the prophet's spell on himself, and did not bring a substitute. High-level prophet spells can definitely read this information.

But why did the tower owner say that following Annan would be dangerous?

"Annan, he will go to the capital in a few months..."

Salvatore thought worriedly.

If the tower owner has learned of Annan's true identity... Is there anyone in the capital who will know?

Are they planning to cause trouble for Annan?

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

Will someone try to curse and kill Annan?

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

Salvatore murmured, his fingertips condensed crystalline stones, and then he ignited flames to burn the letter.

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

——The advanced ceremony must be completed quickly.

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

The Black Tower of Zedi... is not far from the capital.

"If something happens to you, I will help you, Annan..."

Salvatore muttered.

But Shadow, who has always liked to raise bars, was silent about this.
