Although our envoys from the Wood Spirit Clan arrived in this city two days later, the negotiations with the Truth Parliament, which is the nominally highest authority in the country of mages and is officially known as the "Truth Seminar", have not yet begun.
It’s not that they are putting on airs or simply avoiding seeing us, it’s just that we simply came at the wrong time, and the parliament is just an empty frame.----
"Requesting for an emergency hearing? But now six of the total twenty-eight truth masters are on the front lines of the Bayer Empire's opposition, and less than half are unable to attend the meeting at all."
"Other truth controllers? Well, generally speaking, it would be good if the whereabouts of half of the truth controllers are known. Now there are only six truth controllers in office in the Cloud Tower, and there is no way to hold a meeting. At least wait until
It’s enough for ten people. Otherwise, just wait for the regular meeting next month.”
Aroso of Arcane Blade is one of the most famous ice mages in the contemporary era. Aroso, who has half-stepped into the demigod level, was once a member of the Controllers of Truth. When we first arrived, it was him.
I was received and my proposal explained.
Judging from his unabashed enthusiasm and the special hug and thank you when we met, the "Ice Age" mage information that I directly donated seemed to be to his liking and brought him a lot of benefits.
"Roland, I really didn't expect that we would meet one day. The king of truancy back then would actually have such a mature day. As the dean, I am very pleased."
The old mage, who has a plump figure that is rare among mage, is a well-known good man in Yunzhong Tower. At this time, he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. While talking, he patted his big belly with a smile. The fat kept trembling.
And we really have a teacher-student relationship. The junior college where Kayid and I were studying at the time was also a subordinate college of the "Arcane Blade", and the academic director at the time was Aroso himself, who now also serves here.
The dean of the college, so the graduation certificate I issued even had his seal and signature.
But although we have a teacher-student relationship, it is not a master-student relationship like Heloise and Amyra.
I'm afraid that in order to explain clearly, we must first introduce the special political structure of the country of mages.
This country is not so much an independent country, a place where a certain class rules over others, but rather a collection of very large research institutes.
Ain Roden means "those who pursue knowledge" in ancient language, which is also the name of this city. And Ain Rodante is "the gathering place for those who pursue knowledge". I'm afraid this name can explain a lot.
The basis of this country's rule is not the aristocracy. Those so-called aristocrats are just local officials who manage administration. Even though it is a country of mages, the real people in power are not purely lone mages.
The entire country of mages is composed of countless large, medium and small spell caster organizations, and spell casters often choose the mage organization that suits them best. The group organization that speaks the most is always the collective organization.
In larger organizations, there are also various schools and small organizations. The key difference lies in the different ways in which mages pursue and understand the truth.
"I want to prove the magic of the stars can reveal destiny."
With this idea, Master Rodriguez founded the famous mage organization "Star Revelation". Their power words, prophecies, and constellation magic are all at the top level in the world, but their members are generally nerds.
, there is an extreme lack of actual combat experience, and it is considered good to be able to exert half of the combat power in actual combat.
"I pursue the ultimate in magic warfare."
Master Rivest had this idea, and he created the organization "Arcane Blade", and their members are often rare combatants among mages. They are outstanding in all kinds of combat spells and spell warfare skills. Half of the courses
It is a practical class, and the process of growth is often the history of combat. In a battle of the same level, if one is the best or two are less, there are a lot of practical skills and small spells, but what top theoretical results you want them to come up with are very little.
Make things difficult for him.
Well, although the above two organizations are both one of the most powerful mage organizations in Ain Rodant, their relationship is not bad. They can basically be regarded as the difference between the theoretical school and the practical school. It may be said that it is a matter of liberal arts men vs. science men.
Not bad.
But the difference is not absolute. Sage Margaret is a member of a certain niche sect in "Star Revelation", but she can definitely fight well after traveling around the world.
And in a sense, I can be considered a member of the Arcane Blade, but not to mention the annoying elemental magic, at least my research on undead magic is still very profound.
On the other hand, the ideals of the creator often change over time. For example, the founder of the mage organization called "Sword of Order" is a fanatical believer in the Holy Light, and his research topic is also the magic of order.
Belief in the Force, the application of Holy Light in magic, and other similar things, but in modern times, the changes have been so great that they can anger the founder to death.
Perhaps their magic in terms of rules and concepts has gone too far, too biased, or perhaps the extremes of things must be reversed. They have long narrowed down their holy light spells to what they are best at, and instead focus on weird things...such as undead magic, summoning
Demons and Oriental Talismans are definitely a gathering place for various niche researchers, and the research on various forbidden spells is among the best in the entire world.
The relationship between various organizations is also a bad deal. Some small organizations are affiliated with several large organizations at the same time, because their core layers are derived from those large organizations, but the relationships between those large organizations are
It's also very bad. I don't know who to support every time there is an academic seminar... Don't underestimate the academic seminar. This is the most important meeting in this country. Every time conflicting arguments are presented, the conference room will immediately change.
Arena.
Yes, the most important conference in this country is an academic symposium, not a serious political conference.
Since each mage organization aims to pursue the truth, the disputes between them can only be regarded as academic exchanges and discussions. In the country of mage, the highest level academic seminar is the "Truth Seminar". Well, it also
The highest authority in this country.
The participants of this seminar are not fixed. Masters with high research results and high reputation will be invited, and they will also receive the unofficial honorary title of "Truth Controller". However, in fact, many immortals are not interested in this kind of seminar.
Seminars that couldn't reach a conclusion were completely uninteresting. After barely attending a few sessions, I felt that it was not worth suffering for the sake of a false reputation, so I tried every means to retire early and replace myself.
The reason? This seminar is divided into regular meetings and emergency meetings. Mages who have reached a certain level can apply to attend (to cheer for their boss). When I was an apprentice, I attended two seminars, and 30% of the time was used to show off.
For his own academic achievements, 50% of the time is used to attack the latest results proposed by the other party, which are either plagiarism or simply worthless. The remaining 20% of the time is used to fight for budget and resources, and to snatch a new generation of outstanding mages...
As for administrative affairs? After all the words were dry, there was no more arguing. The last five minutes were used to pass various government orders at high speed. The efficiency was not very high. Everyone raised their hands before the title was finished, and the documents were not signed yet.
They just teleported away one by one. It's a big mistake for the officials in charge of administrative affairs to have such a boss.
"It's just a farce. They are all old stubborns. They are all top experts in their own fields. Who can convince others just by words, and there are strict rules not to take action. By the end of the debate, it is no longer about who is more reasonable. It is about who is more reasonable.
Whoever has a louder voice, has better energy, and can stay up longer!"
This is also the reason why the country of mages has not launched an aggressive war for thousands of years. Ambitious mages are not useless, but it is as difficult as getting rid of other mages at a meeting and passing a war resolution with a majority vote.
Tree, it is better to directly use personal strength to conquer a country.
This is also the reason why the country of wizards is not even a country at all. For a truly pure wizard, his entire world is the laboratory and library. He really lacks ambition for territory and honor, which is exactly the opposite of the overlord and imperial power of this world.
Such a political system makes it impossible for the "Truth Seminar" to discuss the truth, and it is very easy to create enemies. From different views on things to quarrels to real arguments, it finally developed into "Don't leave after the meeting, Zhongshan Park"
There are too many things to see.
Every time you pass by the garden, you can see various hand-to-hand fights (forbidden spell duels) being performed. Many of them are gray-haired old professors. Not to mention educated hooligans (mages), I have seen many martial arts mages.
.
Attending one or two long and meaningless meetings is uncomfortable enough, but if you are a small organization or a solo practitioner, it is even more unpleasant when the research results will be questioned in various ways, so the seminars are always due to absences.
Too much and postponement... But since it doesn't really make a difference whether or not there is a meeting, it makes people happy to always postpone it.
But only the heads of the eighteen most powerful mage organizations are required to attend this regularly held seminar. Their business is too big to ignore. In a sense, this also leads to the speed of updating the heads of these large organizations.
Very fast, as if it were a deadly chore.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything. For example, a certain witch took the initiative to obtain this position. Although her main goal was to extort research funds and cover up her criminal record, she still managed to achieve this with her good looks and external disguise.
With the communication ability to sense other people's emotions, he has dominated several large-scale events and even won many debates. He has gained high popularity and prestige in both Cloud Tower and Arcane Blade.
Well, the witch Amyra was once a member of the Arcane Blade, and she even gave me and my contemporaries a big lesson.
What gives me a headache is that I have to attend this headache-inducing meeting.
Not long ago, after meeting Osluven, the Controller of Truth, that epic mission directly gave me the next step to take.
[Congratulations to the host for triggering the epic plot mission: Is it a glorious return home or a phoenix in distress? Please invite the host to participate in a truth seminar, and according to the progress of the meeting, participate in the meeting to trigger the next mission. System prompt: You know the rules between mages, want to
Speak up and come up with something real.】
Judging from the triggering of this serial mission, the ultimate goal of this epic mission is already obvious. It is nothing more than directly or indirectly affecting matters related to the Three Kingdoms War. Therefore, this mission is obviously of a serial nature. First, the Three Kingdoms choose sides and obtain
A certain reputation, and after the selection, the influence will naturally be expanded. Only when you have a voice can you affect the entire war situation.
For me and the newly born Lan Alliance, allies are a must, and the support of a super empire that can speak in human society must also be won.
As an alternative among super empires, when other super empires have problems, the Kingdom of Mages is probably the most trustworthy ally, and it is obviously very necessary to win their support.
Based on the system's consistent habit of cheating, I can guarantee that if you don't have the right to speak at the meeting and don't have enough influence on the meeting, the subsequent development will only become more and more cheating, and it may happen by mistake.
They became the backbone of the cannon fodder who charged into battle.
The postponement of the seminar is both a good thing and a bad thing for me. The bad thing is that the task will not be able to continue for a while. The good thing is that I have more time to prepare.
For the next seminar, because there are important war issues, invitations have been sent out, and it has been stated that absence is not allowed. It should not be postponed. And my current goal is probably how to complete the seminar in this short month.
Establish enough reputation to influence the progress of meetings when necessary.
"So many things have happened recently, the seminar must be held, at most one or two months in the evening. Roland, please wait for a while and get familiar with the environment. The situation seems to have eased now, and they should be there soon.
Come back with the two of us, and then we can hold the meeting. By the way, how about you come to my college for two classes to pass the time? The students should be very happy to have a senior brother return to school to teach."
Only then did I remember that Aroso had helped me get the qualification of a special lecturer before. I knew at that time that he was trying to help me get a status in the Kingdom of Mages, but I didn't expect that he would actually ask me to give lectures.
After all, in a sense, we are all students who came out of his academy. Of course, students coming out of this academy are completely different from his direct disciples.
Many large and medium-sized mage organizations have their own magic academies. They are the cradle of novices and a arena for talent and diligence.
The contribution of the mage organization is naturally not free. Due to this relationship, the rookies in the academy often easily become the new blood of their respective organizations. If they want to become official members, they must either perform extremely well or become masters.
Candidate for true disciple.
The general knowledge of the academy is limited and superficial, but it is the essence after years of refinement and pruning, and it is also the basic step to the next step. Really good seedlings can sprout sharp buds with some nutrition. Many ** teachers are teaching there.
At the same time, he found students who were suitable for him, such as Heloise and Amyra back then.
By the way, since both of them were teachers in the academy affiliated with the "Arcane Blade", they are naturally members of the Arcane Blade. As far as I know, Heloise is also the core of the Sword of Order.
During his tenure as a teacher, he poached many ruthless people and switched to the Sword of Order. Several of them ended up on the natural disaster list, and there were even more anti-social lunatics. The name of "Devil Professor" is well deserved.
In fact, because the threshold for becoming a mage is too high, when the conventional inheritance of inheritance from father to son cannot survive in the society of spell casters, and when the inherited inheritance is more of a certain research result and the pursuit of truth, the mage
The most important thing in our society is the teacher-instructor relationship of teaching and learning.
"The inheritance of the teacher's lineage must not be cut off in my generation." Every family has the idea. After reaching a certain level, a disciple who can pass on what he has learned and pursued throughout his life is simply a dream. Of course, the most important inheritance is,
It is always the pursuit of a certain goal.
Unlike the somewhat indifferent master-disciple relationship in other professions, after mages have been getting along for decades or hundreds of years, the relationship between a close direct disciple and their mentor has long been the same as the relationship between father and son, mother and daughter, and even...
According to the laws of the land of masters, the master has the authority to arrange the lives of his disciples, and the disciples have the obligation to take care of their elderly masters and their parents, and they also have various inheritance rights equal to those of children.
What? Me and Heloise? There is no one like us who is like us who are constantly being cursed!
At this time, I was troubled by how to improve my reputation and gain a higher voice. But soon, I had to worry about whether my reputation was too loud.
"Sure enough, it was definitely a mistake to bring those bastards with you!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
