(Today's Update, Three in One Chapter)
Chapter 184 [Sharing Spirit] (Moon Ticket)
The establishment of the Imperial Magic Academy is officially on the agenda.
The location of the college was decided a few months ago. The future Imperial College was built in a military fortress just southwest of Tidu, not far from Weicheng. That military fortress has been in place for decades, and its former role was to serve as the arch of Emperor Du. However, with the establishment of the city, its usage has decreased considerably. Apart from the annual spring manoeuvres, this military fortress is essentially half idle.
The choice of this place as the site of the Magic Academy is considered in many ways, most importantly in terms of financial savings. The Empire's finances are not generous, and the re-establishment of a vast military academy would result in a significant additional expenditure on the Empire's finances, and the use of an off-the-shelf military fortress would undoubtedly be a good option.
Moreover, the address of the school is far from the Imperial City, far from the Magic Union, while there are nearly 20,000 close guard corps stationed on the side, and a guard city is nearby - a consideration that must have come from Prince Chen.
The original stadium of the military fortress was planted with large tracts of green space and gardens, while the original rows of permanent barracks were converted into school buildings.
As a magic academy, the base for the training of magical talent for the Empire, for reasons of confidentiality, also added a thousand close guards around it.
This fortress, which can accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers, initially accommodated less than 200 people.
A hundred cadets were finalized after a fierce battle between the various facets of the empire. Dewey was not involved in the fight, and he was happy to stay out of it. Finally, the Magic Union was given thirty places as desired. And the Imperial Royal Family, Prince Chen, chose forty directly from the most loyal royal aristocrats.
The last thirty places were sent by the military.
Magicians make up 30 percent, royalty 40 percent, and the military 30 percent.
According to the agreement reached by the parties, this proportion will continue to be used in the future.
The Royal and Magician Guild has once again gone through a fierce competition over other matters in school construction.
The Magic Union hopes to make this Magic Academy a purely “traditional” magician. What is a traditional magician?
Simply put: arrogant, noble, magician dignified, noble, mysterious, and… antique.
Of course, this assessment comes from the mouth of Prince Chen, and he is very dissatisfied with it, because in the plan of this Regent, the School of Magic was not established to cultivate a new “Master of Magic"! The Imperial Army, the Royal Family, need a bunch of magicians to serve them! Not a bunch of lords who need to hold themselves high above!
In order to recruit a magician, those aristocrats had to spend a great deal of wealth, even some noble and honorable aristocrats, and be courteous to those magicians and even bow to their knees before they could be favored.
But this is absolutely forbidden for Prince Chen!
“I don't want a bunch of lords! I want someone who can serve the Empire! ”
However, Prince Chen's view was opposed by the Magic Union, which considered it to be detrimental to the Magician's dignity. In their view, magicians are supposed to be high.
Under the collision of the two points of view, Dewey someday quietly entered the palace and gave Prince Chen an idea.
“Why is the wizard of high standing? Why is it so high? That's because there are so few magicians on the continent right now. If the number of magicians is as large as the knights of today's samurai...” says Dewey: "I've seen a lot of low-level samurai standing there waiting for a job. They are not farmers, they are not poor, they are not homeless people, and they are not beggars. Each of them has at least one rank of Lower Samurai! But they live with less dignity than beggars. There are too many samurai on the mainland right now! If the number of magicians reaches a certain level, then the magician is not uncommon. ”
“But the establishment of the Magic Academy should greatly alleviate this problem.” Prince Chen said: “With the establishment of the Magic Academy, there will be a large number of magicians coming out of the Academy in the future, and the increase in quantity is predictable. ”
“That is far from enough.” Dewey shook his head: “Fundamentally, I think there's a big problem with the way we train magicians. ”
Next, Prince Chen strongly agrees with some of the points made by Dewey.
“The magician's legend has always been a private apprentice with a very tight portal. It can even be said that every magician keeps his or her magic knowledge strictly confidential and never makes it easy for the outside world to know. And more importantly, the current profession of magician makes me feel that there is a big flaw that… there is no right distinction between ‘user’ and ‘researcher'. ”
“Every magician spends most of his life researching, studying magic and exploring the mysteries of magic. But the problem is... because each other is broomstick prized, and their research is kept strictly confidential, so that there is little communication between magicians. The result is a ridiculous phenomenon: it's possible that a lot of magicians develop things in their lifetime that are exactly the same as other magicians! Many magicians spend their entire lives studying the same results. It's a waste of time. We need a lot of people who know how to use magic, not a bunch of researchers. In my opinion, researchers are needed, but it's not necessary for every magician to act as a researcher, and most people just need to know how to use it. ”
It's a very simple theory, like Dewey's past life, that any middle school student knows Newton's laws of gravity. All you have to do is learn and know how to use this law... but there's no need for each student to study it and discover it?
Just learn how to use it! If you really want students to spend half their lives researching this law like Newton...
Hmm... Dewey seemed to think that this was also a huge confinement that constrained the development of the number of magicians.
The right approach to popularization should be: you don't need to study it, you just need to know how to use it.
Everyone knows that one plus one equals two, but there's no need for everyone to drill through the Goldbach speculation, is there?
But today's magicians have a phenomenon that makes Dewey feel ridiculous: even some low-level magicians, when learning some low-level magic spells, rely on themselves to figure out the mysteries of these spells, including how to narrow down some of the notes that can be omitted, and so on... In fact, their teachers may have mastered these techniques a long time ago, but those magicians will never easily tell anyone about their research, even their own disciples! I'd rather bring it into the coffin!
Dewey spent an afternoon explaining this to Prince Chen and tried to repeat the EFA models he had known in his previous life in some simple language. When Prince Chen heard his eyes shine, he finally started shooting the case and saw the excited look on his face. He even wanted to hold Dewey and kiss him.
But the next challenge is: How can existing magicians contribute to their research?
Prince Duwei and Prince Chen studied it for a long time.
What do magicians value most?
Money? No, every magician has considerable wealth. The magic crystals, magic gems, are treasures to ordinary people, but for magicians, they are just magic materials.
Women? Not to mention... magicians focus on magic research, and they don't have time to waste on this kind of thing.
Still not.
Finally, Dewey concludes: status and fame!
Magicians attach great importance to their position, and in many cases they are solicited by the Homen nobility, intentionally holding the shelves because they believe that if they are easily solicited, they are disidentified. Status is very important to magicians.
And fame, more important to magicians.
Dewey adds a near-vicious statement that, in his view, most magicians in the world are "pushy”.
Most of them are.
When he said this, he even forgot that he and Prince Chen were magicians.
Magicians like to be tall, noble, like to set shelves, like to look inaccessible, they are bizarre (or pretend to be bizarre), they want to earn a lot of fame, but at the same time pretend to be indifferent.
This isn't pretentious. What is it?
“So if they want names, we give them names, if they want status, we give them status!” Dewey laughed, "This may attract some magicians to contribute to their research. We can put these results together into a fixed set of things that students in the college don't need to study from scratch, just learn how to use them. ”
Therefore, on the day of the establishment of the Magic Academy, during the opening ceremony, His Royal Highness Prince Regent Chen, the actual ruler of the Empire, was present personally and personally put the name "Imperial Magic Academy” on the wall outside the Academy. - That's Dewey's suggestion, too.
Then, in front of the first magic cadets and a dozen court magicians, as well as magicians from many magic unions present, Prince Chen suddenly announced an unplanned event:
“At the same time as the Magic Academy was established, an organization of new magicians was announced: the Imperial Magic Society! ”
The Imperial Magic Society, nominally, belongs to the School of Magic. And the difference between the Society and the Magic Union is that it is not a tightly regulated or statutory organization for magicians; it is loose and has no management and restraint for magicians.
The so-called "learning” mainly involves academic discussions between magicians and the exchange of their research results in the field of magic. Learn to recognize and reward magicians who produce results.
The reward situation is not calculated in gold coins...
On a very eye-catching corridor behind the Magic Academy square, on a wall made of pure jade stone, at the first position on one end of the wall, a statue was prominently engraved.
This is a statue of an old magician with a lifelike face, a snow-white cloak robe, a very stylish smile, and even every fine wrinkle on his face is incredibly clear.
And underneath it, a plain piece of gold is engraved with a few lines:
“Sicily-Jacques Gandhoff (Empire 710-Empire 960), a renowned magical mentor of the continent, made his main contribution: discovered six ways to hatch dragon eggs, discovered thirteen rare magic plants, and improved seven intermediate magic spells, and created a new advanced magic spell, among others. Thank you to Master Gandhoff for his contribution so that future generations can learn from his research. ”
This Gandhof statue, along with the gold plaque that describes some of the main events of his life, is placed at the entrance of this jade corridor. Behind, the hallway, 300 meters long, is still empty, leaving enough room!
•
“… the establishment of this Institute is not responsible for binding magicians, it is simply an organization of academic discussion and exchange.” Prince Chen stood on the high stage with his characteristic spring smile on his face: "Any magician can apply to join the Society without paying any dues and without any obligation to contribute to the Society. Of course… not absolutely. As soon as you enter the Society, you will be able to access the results of other magician exchange contributions that are stored in the Society. Of course, this is conditional, for example, now that we've learned to build the early days, thank you to our Honourable Dewey Mage, and to our Honourable Vivian Mage. Both of them are disciples of the late Master Gandhof, a mentor who has exemplified and contributed some of the pre-Gandhof research in the Society. Every new member, if you like, can also contribute some of your magic research results, and then you can look at any information you learn to store… including Master Gandolf's. This is the spirit of our magic society: sharing! ”
The whole place is loud!
Especially those magicians!
Can you access the results of Master Gandhoff's magic research? This is an extremely tempting condition for a magician!
Subsequently, Prince Chen announced some rules regarding the “sharing” of the Magic Society.
Early Duvi and Vivian contributed some of Gandhof's research results, which have been divided into five levels, ranging from one to five.
In the future, new magicians, if you contribute your research results, will be evaluated by several invited and prestigious archmages. For example, if you get a three-star rating for your contribution, you get three chances to “share," and you can randomly review the results of any level of research below the three-star rating that you save in the Society. Of course, there are only three chances (three for three stars, four for four stars, one for one star, only once). If you want to see more, you must also contribute your own new research results.
The only exception is that if your contribution is evaluated as a five-star study, you will be eligible for lifelong sharing and will be able to access all the information in the Society at any time during your lifetime!
Every magician is making a dark calculation, and if you can get the results of Master Gandhoff's research - even if it's only a small part of what you've learned to save - it's also of great value to you to improve your magical power! In that case... it would be worthwhile to offer your own research results in exchange...
- After all, it's Master Gandhoff's research!
And with more magicians joining the Society, you can also get more research results!
Looking at the leapfrogging faces of the magicians below, Prince Chen was satisfied. He glanced at Dewey with gratitude and went on to announce: "The second rule of the Society is that we will invite several prestigious or powerful magicians from the continent to serve as our advisors. These consultants will evaluate the results of the research contributed by each magician. Then the rank was evaluated… Finally, every magician who contributed to the research was eligible…” Here, Prince Chen pointed his finger at that long corridor: “So, your portrait, and the great things of life, will be placed there! Along with the late Master Gandhoff, receive the admiration of future generations, where your glorious image will remain even hundreds of years from now! ”
with the portrait of Master Gandolph?
More magicians, my heart is already tickled!
So, isn't this the corridor where you're qualified to be with Gandalf?
How glorious is that?
Unlike the faces or expressions of surprise or excitement or hesitation of many magicians.
Jacob Doug, the face of Mr. President of the Magic Union, is very gloomy. His eyes looked at the Regent on stage and his eyes filled with anxiety.
“The third rule of the Society is…” Prince Chen said here, pausing deliberately and slowly: “Before the establishment of the Academy, how many people can each magician inherit from your great accomplishments when recruiting disciples? One, two? Or three or five? Then this phenomenon will change in the future! As you contribute to the research results of the Society, we will divide some of the most basic content by level as part of the teaching curriculum for Magic Academy students! In the future, then, it is foreseeable that the new generation of magicians on the continent, as long as they go out of this college, will be the result of your research! Every one of them can be your disciple, and every one of them will remember your great name in their studies and your great contribution to magic! To be sure, even in a few hundred years, your name will remain firmly in the books and in the hearts of all magicians! ”
This last temptation almost swayed even the Leonid magician standing next to Chairman Jacob Doug!
This debtor-like guy can't help but see the light in his eyes!
How many other bad names are there in the world? Except for the true saints of faint fame. But most people, after all, don't have that kind of saintly qualities.
Even if you can't smell it for thousands of years, you still have to smell it! - That fits the mindset of most people!
And now magicians on the mainland, even though they are famous for a while, but not many years after death, how many will remember them? Even though Gandhoff was great, after a hundred years, I'm afraid not many people will remember him except his disciples.
But if, as Prince Chen said, it is completely different!
In the future, every magician will learn the results of "I” research, and they will remember my name! Even in a few hundred years… even a thousand years! Magicians on this continent will still remember my name!
Magicians have not pursued much in their entire lives, money beauty power... then, status and fame are the only things they want!
“Finally, the last important thing I would like to announce…” Prince Chen deliberately paused until the entire audience focused on himself, and he smiled to announce: “As you all know, this year is the 960s of the Roland Empire. But from now on, the School of Magic and the Society of Magic will see this year as an important coordinate in history! Starting this year, in the realm of magicians, we will call it the Magic Age. We at the Magic Society will be preparing to prepare a Magic Chronicle History. Starting this year, every magician who contributes to the Magic Society will be included in this Magic Chronicle History! Of course, the first to be codified in the history of the Magic Age was our late Master Gandhoff. And the next name… will most likely be anybody in this room. This history will continue to be compiled and added as a historical record of the continent's magical civilization! And... the College of Magic will make" History of the Magic Era "a mandatory course! Every learner will learn about the history of the Magic Era! ”
The sun of the opening day, gently sprinkled over the face of Prince Chen, his characteristic personality charm unreservedly displayed, the vast majority of magicians present, are moved!
A man's life. For what? How many people can resist the temptation to leave their own names in this world and let countless posterity admire them?
This series of plans by Dewey is not intended to wipe out all the magicians. But conservatively, as long as it touches half the magician's heart... then it can lay a good foundation for the early days of this magical society! With the gradual development, there will always be a glorious day!
And now it seems that moving is not just a small part of it.
Finally, Prince Chen quietly threw out a seemingly ordinary thing, but could be said to be a "killer"!
“Starting today, every Magic Academy student who graduates will automatically qualify as a basic member of the Magic Academy. And the Magic Society allows dual identities, which means that we don't care if you're a member of any other organization, you can join the Magic Society because we're just a purely academic exploratory organization. ”
Chairman Jacob Doug's heart sinks to the bottom of the valley!
Will each student automatically become a member of this Society after graduation?
How many magicians on the continent will be a member of this Society in years!
What will your magician be then?
After Prince Chen finished his speech, he came down and walked by Chairman Yagodoug. Mr. President could not bear to whisper: “Your Highness, you do not seem to have mentioned to me the question of this newly established Society! ”
Prince Chen smiled slightly and looked selfless: “Dear Sir, this is a good thing to promote magic, I'm sure you won't object, right? ”
Chairman Yagodoug bit his teeth, a statement he could not oppose. But it took a while for him to slowly say, "So my question is, who's going to be the president of this new magic society? I believe that a prestigious archmage of recognized virtue should be called upon to serve. ”
Dewey listened and smiled in the dark.
Mr. Chairman, I can't hold it any longer! That's a very blatant statement!
Recognized Grand Magician of high morality?
Hmm, on the mainland, besides the late Master Gandhoff, the next recognized great magician of virtue, who is not himself, Mr. Chairman?
But don't even think about it!
Prince Chen smiled slightly, "Mr. President, that was what I was going to do, but then we thought about it and thought that since this is a new organization and is entirely free academic discussion, and does not honestly have any mandate to bind magicians, I do not think it is necessary to create a 'chairman' position in this new organization. In the early days of the Institute, a group of magicians will form a committee to conduct some basic management. And the person who entered the committee..."
Jacob Doug eyebrow raised.
“Candidates, I believe, should be selected in accordance with the purpose for which the Institute was established, the 'spirit of sharing’. In other words, rate by contribution! Therefore, I believe that only those who contribute to learning will be eligible to join the Committee. So, for the time being, it seems that only Master Gandhoff's disciple, His Excellency the Duvi Mage, and His Excellency the Vivian Mage, were initially proposed. Oh, by the way, Master Vivian, you must have seen her. Just a few years ago, you gave her the badge, but you gave it yourself. ”
Just as Jacob Doug frowned and prepared his wording to oppose - of course! Such a magic society, let two children be commissioners!
“Of course, there cannot be only two members.” Prince Chen laughed: “Fortunately, there was not much management work in the early days, just some codification work, very easy, and in the future… the increase in the number of members must be seen as a contribution! Only those who contribute to the Magic Society are eligible to be selected. So..."
In other words, it's simple.
You want to get involved, it's simple, first contribute some magic research results!
•
It is worth mentioning that many, many years later, in the history of the Empire, this day was designated the "Magic Age", and the History's record of the day was very objective:
“It was thought that the establishment of the Magic Academy would break the continent's monopoly of magic. But now it seems that the establishment of the Academy of Magic is just a starting signal. And the" Magic Society ", the establishment of this emerging organization, finally formed a new pattern, officially breaking the magical monopoly pattern of the continent for thousands of years! A free, emerging organization that has stood on the continent ever since. ”
•
And just the day after the opening of the Magic Academy, the Magic Society received applications for membership from six magicians. Although the top six magicians in the early period were only intermediate magicians, this was a good start after all, and six magicians contributed some of their own research results and obtained different grades.
After gaining the right to share, they all chose to look at Gandhoff's research results based on the stars they had earned. As a result, everyone expressed great satisfaction.
This signal reassures many other magicians who are watching —— after all, there are people who doubt it, and God knows if this "magic society” is under the guise of Gandhoff to deceive his research results?
With a good start to the early six magicians, more and more magicians are applying to become members over the next few days.
And just on the fifth day, the addition of two heavyweight characters reinforced the cornerstone of this new organization!
Master Gandhoff's oldest remaining disciple, the Ear-backed Ernese Mage, became the sixteenth member of the Magic Society and, on the basis of his contribution, immediately became one of its members.
And the other joiner, Master Eriko! He contributed a few precious drug formulations, as well as several new magic gems. It was also immediately qualified as a member.
The addition of two heavyweight figures reinforces the confidence of more viewers.
And on the tenth day, an important event happened!
In the Magic Union, considered to be Chairman Jacob Doug's closest associate, that Leonid, a debtor-like Leonid, finally endured the temptation of a hundred centuries and joined the Society!
Understandably, after all, he's over a hundred years old, and God knows how long he can live. And in the Magic Union, with the presence of Jacob Doug, he's unlikely to be the union president. And staying anonymous after death seems to be his only pursuit.
It was on the afternoon of Leonid's announcement to join the Society. Unknown events took place in the office of President Jacob Doug.
Usually, Mr. Chairman, watchful of the meter, wrecked his desk with anger, and almost destroyed his office with fire magic.
“It's betrayal! Naked betrayal!!” Mr. Chairman's face was blurry and he roared furiously.
•
In the early stages of the establishment of the Institute, the list of members responsible for the management of the Institute is as follows:
The Honourable Dewey Magician (Magic Pharmacist, Bachelor of Magic, disciple of the late Master Gandhof), the Honourable Vivian Magician (Level 8 Magician, disciple of the late Master Gandhof), the Ernese Magician (Level 9 Magician, disciple of the late Master Gandhof), the Eriko Magician (Level 9 Magician, magic pharmacist), the Leonid Magician (Level 9 Magician) … There is also a special member: the Imperial Regent King, His Majesty the future Emperor, the Crown Prince Chen (Palace Magician).
Prince Chen joined, not surprisingly, after mastering the team of court magicians, he very easily handed over the results of the research contributed by court magicians, and then successfully entered the management committee of the Magic Society.
The composition of this list is enough to convince all magicians.
(The amount of this chapter is enough for the usual three chapters, huh, even if dancing is at the top of the current monthly ticket ranking, thank you very much. This month is truly a surprise to me, very surprising, unpredictable, I have considered the form of the outbreak, it is not very good, I am worried that the outbreak will affect the quality, but I will be able to do more every day if I can!! That's my promise! Whether or not I get the first ticket for the last month, I will keep this promise this month! Speak of it and you will do it!
- Dance)
