Chapter 1790: Witchcraft Academy
Xiao Yu witnessed Guska's lich transformation ceremony.
Overall, the whole ceremony was quite perfect.
Although there were a few problems in the final stage, they were easily solved by Taoist priest Luo Xiaoying.
Guska became a lich, starting out as a first-level extraordinary necromancer.
In his opinion, such a starting point is enough to make most Guwa people envious and jealous.
Thinking about those qualified Guwa scientists, not many would refuse such a temptation.
Even if the implication revealed in the ritual has already hinted that becoming a lich-like undead creature, what you lose will never be less than what you gain.
Xiao Yu assigned the task to the Guwa civilization and the Guwa ghosts, leaving Luo Xiaoying to continue to supervise them here.
Then he returned to Aqua Blue Star again,
Neither Aquablue Star nor Lilliput have had anything big happen recently.
Suddenly, it was a rare moment of calm.
Xiao Yu used this time to make up for his shortcomings, in addition to absorbing a large amount of knowledge from different disciplines.
Xiao Yu also participated in the witchcraft issues in the Lilliputian Kingdom, holding part-time jobs such as the Great Alchemist, the Great Enchanter, and the Great Array Mage.
Naturally, he will not be the best in these professions.
But as the Morning Star Wizard of Aqua Blue Star, he is the only Morning Star extraordinary powerhouse in Lilliput who has come into contact with the truly vast starry sky.
Many of his insights can enlighten others and open their minds.
Because of this, the old wizards who thought highly of themselves in the City of Miracles also changed their normal behavior and gradually adapted to Xiao Yu's interruption.
The various suggestions put forward by Xiao Yu have become more and more cautious from the initial disdain.
The city of miracles.
Several new witchcraft colleges were built here.
These witchcraft academies are open to enrollment from all the mainland of Lilliput. As long as they are wizards or other professionals who can perform witchcraft, they can enroll and learn a large amount of witchcraft knowledge in the witchcraft academies.
Moreover, with the support of His Highness, the wealthy Son of God, this witchcraft academy has implemented a three-guarantee system of food, housing and distribution.
Even if those who enroll in school have no money, they don’t have to worry about survival, as long as they study hard and study hard.
Of course, such a good witchcraft academy does not have any restrictions.
On the announcement wall of the Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a large number of tasks involving various aspects are updated every day.
These tasks are related to the credits of the students in the academy.
Credit rankings will be conducted every month. If the fifty students with the lowest rankings cannot give reasons that convince the college instructors, they will be expelled and will never be admitted.
Ripple Witchcraft Academy is located on the eastern outskirts of the City of Miracles, near the edge of the continuous dark forest.
The Dark Forest was definitely one of the dangerous areas on the Lost Continent a few years ago.
Now, almost all the monsters in the dark forest have been tamed or controlled.
In fact, not to mention the forest monsters, every tree in the forest, every inch of soil, and what lies thousands of meters deep underground have all been discovered by the wizards of the City of Miracles.
Therefore, relying on the forest is a routine of using the forest to earn credits or something.
Does not exist at Ripple Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Ripple Witchcraft Academy is actually a place that prefers to provide fresh blood to major alchemy research institutes.
The first dean of the Ripple Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and one of the most trusted alchemists of His Highness the Son of God, Utulu Wizard.
Therefore, the tasks announced on the bulletin wall here tend to focus on alchemy, enchantment, inscriptions, etc.
And because Xiao Yu brought many ideas that emerged after the collision between the Guwa civilization and the Aqualan Star civilization, I needed the help of my thinking skills.
The topics at Ripple Witchcraft Academy also involve mechanical knowledge.
Near a bulletin wall of the Ripple Witchcraft Academy, a young wizard who looked a little thin but only wore a gray-white cloak and looked like he would fall if the wind blew, approached the bulletin wall alone.
This little wizard’s name is Cohen. He is a young man who has just been promoted to the first level wizard.
Well... Although he is almost forty years old, in the wizarding circle, he is undoubtedly a young man.
A first-level wizard of forty, fifty or even seventy or eighty is also the speed at which a normal talented person can become a wizard.
So, it's just ordinary.
But Wizard Cohen is unwilling to live a mediocre life.
He was born into a noble family, which meant that after he was found to have the talent of a wizard, he immediately received attention and received rare training resources.
It's just... What makes Wizard Cohen regretful is that in the entire family, he is not the only one with wizard talent.
What's even more regrettable is that among family members with wizard talents, he can only be regarded as a middle-to-lower level.
This situation undoubtedly made him unhappy.
Especially as we age, the gap between genius and mediocrity widens wider and wider.
Wizard Cohen deeply realized that the gap between humans can be even greater than the gap between humans and dogs.
He was desperate and gave up his right to compete with the genius for an important position in the family.
This allowed him to survive the family struggle.
It's just that... he is unwilling to give in. He also has the noble blood of his ancestors that contains the light of glory.
So, Wizard Cohen could not resist the temptation in an action and let an alchemist go, and from him he came into contact with another extraordinary path: the path of knowledge through investigation of things.
This path is very difficult to walk, and after being discovered by the family.
Although they would not punish Wizard Cohen for this, they hoped that Wizard Cohen could serve the family with alchemy wholeheartedly for the sake of the family and the overall situation.
Wizard Cohen agreed at first, and then he became even more desperate.
The family did not treat him as a human being at all. The repetitive and monotonous work made him physically and mentally exhausted. However, the family repeatedly delayed the alchemical knowledge and precious items he required to improve his abilities.
Wizard Cohen understood that he was just a tool in the eyes of the family.
The family knew very well the importance and cherishment of a great alchemist, and it was definitely not something that a family like them could keep.
So they were unwilling to invest in themselves to upgrade their levels.
Because compared to a great alchemist who might leave at any time, an ordinary alchemist is undoubtedly more suitable for the needs of the family.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that Wizard Cohen is not a direct descendant of the eldest son.
In the final analysis, both sides really have no confidence in the bond between each other.
Wizard Cohen saw the promotional video of the City of Miracles by accident, and then saw the giant steel merchant ship that landed in the City of Miracles.
He got excited and made the boldest move in his life. He came to the entrance of the merchant ship of the City of Miracles at night, stating his identity and his request to go to the City of Miracles.
The City of Miracles welcomes anyone with the same aspirations.
The guards naturally had no reason to stop him.
Wizard Cohen was able to enter the merchant ship and saw several like-minded people.
Then, Wizard Cohen was transported to the City of Miracles smoothly, and after getting a general understanding of the various places in the City of Miracles.
Wizard Cohen, who is full of hope for the future, chose to study at the Ripple Witchcraft Academy according to his talent.
In total, Wizard Cohen has been studying here for almost two months.
In two months, with sufficient supply of Bai Yuan liquid, Wizard Cohen's body was successfully promoted to Extraordinary Knight.
His wizard cultivation was also close to the bottleneck of the first-level wizard.
However, Wizard Cohen, who knew his talent, would not promote until he had enough points to exchange for Yue Hua Yu Lu potion to wash his marrow.
With his background, the failure rate of promotion would not be less than 50%!
Although, under normal circumstances, let alone 50%, even if the failure rate was 70%, there would still be a lot of people who would choose to risk their lives.
But Wizard Cohen had been in the City of Miracles for a long time, and gradually became infected with the unique cautious atmosphere of the City of Miracles.
He learned the great truth of thinking more about everything and staying for a while.
"Last time, the simple task was snatched up in just one hour."
"It caused me to take a task of medium difficulty and it took me ten days to complete the submission. Not only did I waste time, but I also lost a lot of hair."
Whispering here, Wizard Cohen touched the sparse front of his cloak.
Early in the morning, the notice wall square of the Ripple Witch Academy was still very cold.
A cold wind blew, causing Wizard Cohen to shiver, and then he glanced at the towering black forest on the wall.
In this dark forest, there are several wizard towers that study necromancy.
It is rumored that there are necromancers of the Morning Star level who are in charge of the work.
Wizard Cohen tends to believe this rumor, otherwise why is the cold wind blowing from the dark forest so painful and cold every time?
"Update!"
Wizard Cohen waited uneasily in the cold wind for a while, and finally saw a blue light appear on the notice wall.
It's time for the task update once every three days!
Wizard Cohen rushed over and approached the notice wall. He noticed that there were many sounds of breaking air behind him.
It was other wizards who flew over to grab the tasks.
In fact, there are many tasks on the notice wall, enough for more than 5,000 students in the Ripple Witch Academy to have ten tasks each.
But the problem is that most of the tasks are actually nothing for the students.
That was a topic that even the instructors and even the great alchemists above the instructors had a headache or found it difficult to spend time on.
Although each of these topics had high credits and was accompanied by points from the City of Miracles.
However... the punishment for accepting random tasks but failing to complete them made the students such as Wizard Cohen shake their heads and sigh.
"Hiss... Why are there so many topics related to puppetry and mechanics in this update task?"
"Such a huge topic, so many, but the topics are so related. Is this a super project that the higher-ups are preparing to build?"
Wizard Cohen's eyes lit up and he quickly scanned the room.
He saw a topic that made him feel moved:
On how to enhance the strength of the puppet sensor line to withstand the ultra-high temperature and mechanical wear caused by intense friction.
This is a topic of medium to high difficulty.
So not only does it have high credits, but it also rewards precious points from the City of Miracles.
Wizard Cohen was very excited. He calculated the points he had saved during this period. If he succeeded this time, he could get a basic version of the Moonlight Jade Dew potion.
Wizard Cohen took a deep breath, stretched out his right hand and pressed the wall, and selected this task.
Ding!
After a slight sound, the knowledge related to the topic emerged in Wizard Cohen's mind.
There are even several reference books thoughtfully provided.
Wizard Cohen carefully retracted his hand and quickly walked away from the announcement wall.
this moment.
Wizard Uturu, who was drinking spiritual tea on the top floor of Ripple Witchcraft Academy, moved his eyes slightly, turned his head and looked out the window, and silently, he saw Wizard Cohen who was leaving.
"Teacher Utulu, what happened?"
The vice-principal of Ripple Witchcraft Academy, a legendary wizard who was also from Jinge Continent like Wizard Uturu, asked respectfully.
"Nothing, I'm just curious that a young student took over an interesting topic."
"Looking at him, it doesn't look like he picked it up randomly."
"Interesting. Could it be that he is the successor of some branch of puppetry?"
"I have already marked it. If he really has this talent, it may be of great use in the future."
Wizard Uturu put down his tea cup. As a veteran strongman who had followed the Son of God to conquer the world for a long time, he could feel the changes in the City of Miracles and the tendency of the Son of God to bring knowledge.
This is why he actively recommended himself to be the dean of the Ripple Witchcraft Academy.
Wizard Utulu was keenly aware of the bottleneck in the development of the extraordinary army in the City of Miracles.
The role of alchemy will become increasingly important.
At one point, he was not surprised at all that alchemists became the dominant profession on the same level as wizards.
From among the alchemical golems and war machines brought by the Son of God.
He can feel that the future of alchemy is immeasurable!
Therefore, people who are talented in alchemy... he must not neglect them!
The best thing is to accept him as a student!
The principal, the Utulu wizard, opened the door to convenience.
Wizard Cohen successfully entered the library of Ripple Witchcraft Academy and borrowed a collection of books that could fill more than half of the desk.
I quickly read the book, summarized the knowledge, analyzed the problem, and then conducted the first alchemy experiment.
Wizard Cohen discovered that the medium-difficulty tasks were indeed not that easy.
He failed.
But I have a clue.
Wizard Utulu guessed right. Wizard Cohen was indeed the descendant of an alchemist from a certain small sect.
This faction happens to be related to refining metal puppets.
If the puppet wants to move well, it naturally cannot do without the sensing device.
Wizard Cohen took on this task and could barely be considered a professional counterpart.
"No, I need to know more about mechanics!"
"There are no more books in the Ripple Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I have to go to the Great Library of Miracles, but...at my level, I can't go there."
Wizard Cohen was in the failed laboratory, rubbing his hair and whispering in distress.
Suddenly a gentle male voice came to my ears:
"No, you can go."
"When you take on this subject, you have already acquired the qualifications to read the relevant knowledge."
"Not to mention, knowledge related to alchemy is never something to be guarded against. Our Highness, the Son of God, very much hopes that more and more wizards will be interested in understanding alchemy, learn alchemy, and then introduce new things!"
