At the end of the Blazing Moon (August), the civilian area of Rentat.!
After his parents went to work in the seafood company and crystal lamp workshop respectively, Lang Man was alone at home, looking through the books he bought during this period, silently thanking the God of Truth and the arcane masters in his heart.
Since the evil radical church was expelled by the Magic Council and the moderates came to power, books that were originally expensive have become much cheaper. Even children from ordinary families like myself can buy one or two books every few months with the support of their parents.
, this is a luxury that was completely unimaginable in the past. It makes me, who loves books, feel that the sun has become bright and gentle.
Lang Man learned from the "Secret Voice" that papermaking was actually born hundreds of years ago. After long-term improvements, the price has dropped to the point where one copper can buy a large stack. The printing technology is also the same.
In this way, in order to monopolize knowledge and channels of communication with the Lord, the radical church artificially blocked printing technology, encouraged handwriting, and kept books at extremely high prices for a long time. Except for nobles and big businessmen, ordinary people wanted to learn.
Writing and knowledge are quite difficult. Fortunately, thanks to the secret dissemination by the Magic Council, Rentat's average knowledge level has reached the passing standard.
Now, times have changed. Although knowledge is precious, it does not exceed the necessary limit, because the alchemy workshops and the great nobles urgently need workers with knowledge base.
Looking through the book, this is a book about common creatures in nature, with lifelike illustrations. Lang Man, who knew part of the text from his father, also enjoyed reading it - his father climbed up from the bottom and became a seafood product.
The company's middle managers later received instruction in writing and fishery knowledge.
"Jackals, kobolds, goblins, giants, barbarians, dudu birds..." Looking at this book, Lang Man seemed to be in the colorful nature, seeing animals with different appearances.
The creatures have similarities but also very different characteristics, which makes people fascinated. "It is totally worth saving several months of money to buy this book!"
The knock on the door made Lang Man wake up from the ocean of knowledge.
"Who?" he asked loudly, straightening his back, feeling a little nervous suddenly. I am a child at home, if it is a robber, thief, or the cruel "night watchman" told by "Mysterious Voice"...
A voice sounded amidst the knocking on the door: "Open the door, I am a postman from Kingdom Post and I have your letter!"
Lang Man immediately breathed a sigh of relief and secretly laughed at himself because he had listened to too many horror stories in "The Voice of Mystery" and was frightened even during the day. Don't robbers, thieves, and night watchmen only come out at night?
Opening the door, Lang Man saw a young man with a kind smile wearing dark green clothing, carrying a package that looked very heavy on his back, and holding two letters in his hand.
"Your letter." The postman said with a smile.
Lang Man took the letter and first saw the exquisite stamps affixed to the envelope. This was the first batch issued by the Kingdom. The portraits of Her Majesty the Queen and Her Excellency Evans were printed respectively to represent different amounts of money.
"The stamps are so beautiful, I have to cut them out and keep them..." Lang Man thought subconsciously, then he read the sender and found out that it was from his aunt who married to Pefosshire, and he felt very happy. His aunt loved him the most before she got married.
My uncle is in the capital of Peforth County. Although it is not far from Rentat and is only a few hours' drive away from the Magic Steam Train, communication is difficult. It is not that easy to find reliable friends or businessmen who are willing to carry messages.
It was a very expensive thing, and there was only one letter back and forth every year, which was almost like losing contact.
Now, everything was different. Lang Man looked at the value of the stamps and found that he could afford one letter a month with his own pocket money.
Thank the Lord, thank Her Majesty the Queen, thank His Excellency Evans, thank Prime Minister Russell, thank the Kingdom’s postal department. He drew a cross on his chest, then looked at the second letter, his eyes suddenly widened: "Admission notice? Lenta
Special First General School?”
Ah? Ah! I was admitted!
Lang Man felt great joy impacting his heart, as if something exploded inside. He kept saying thank you to the postman, his eyes blurred.
Since this is just the beginning of the pilot project, the royal family and the Magic Council have only jointly opened two general schools in Rentat for the time being, named after simple rules such as first and second. Therefore, when many civilians can afford the tuition, I would like to
There are so many people who want to enter these two schools, and there may not be one lucky person among a hundred people. Fortunately, Her Majesty the Queen has formulated a fair admissions method called "Unified Admission Assessment", which gives you room to perform.
"Now I can truly learn knowledge, and I can truly understand the common sense of arcana and magic..." Lang Man stood there blankly, with countless thoughts tumbling in his mind, unable to calm down at all.
"Please sign for verification. If you don't know how to write, just click your thumbprint." The postman has delivered many such "admission notices" today and has become accustomed to this situation.
Only then did Lang Man come to his senses, took the fountain pen from the postman's hand - which was said to be specially popularized to the public, and wrote his name on the receipt form.
"Thank you, uncle, you have brought me great joy." Lang Man thanked him sincerely when returning the fountain pen to the postman.
The postman chuckled and said: "I feel your happiness. I also feel very happy. Once I have saved enough money, I also want to go to a general school. Maybe I will be a schoolmate in the future."
Lang Man's face turned red and he said: "May God bless your wish to come true. Uncle, are you tired of being a postman? You carry so many letters and packages every day."
The postman smiled and said: "I am very tired, but it will be fine soon. They said they would give us something called a bicycle."
"Bicycle?" Lang Man frowned in confusion.
After seeing off the postman, he couldn't wait to open the admission notice, took out his father's dictionary, and read the contents.
"Common language, mathematical foundations, historical overview, introduction to nature, magic knowledge, logical foundations, heraldry identification, basic arcana, physical training... these are basic general courses and are compulsory; music, fencing, painting, document writing
, Preliminary electromagnetism, outline of elements, psychological knowledge, medical basics·advanced mathematics, spells and symbology, ancient magical languages, politics·economics... These are elective courses, after the third year of general education, according to your own
Situation, basic knowledge of choosing different directions." Lang Man read the course content, looked at their introduction carefully, and couldn't help but dream about his future.
"Whether you want to be a secretary, a politician, a musician, a painter, a knight's attendant, a doctor, an arcanist..." Lang Man knew that his magic talent was not very good, and he was just like ordinary people, so he ranked the arcanist next.
The last one.
Unconsciously, the sky darkened, his parents returned home and saw the admission notice.
After reading the admission notice, Lang Man's father nodded lightly: "It's still too early to think about it now. You won't know what you are good at and what you are not good at until you really start studying. Of course, I recommend that you start learning aristocratic etiquette in your fourth year.
, horse riding, fencing, economics, music, and fishery knowledge. When you enter a seafood company in the future, you can quickly become a supervisor with this knowledge and interact with nobles and big businessmen. As for magic, you know your talent very well.
"
He naturally hopes that his son will grow up under his protection.
Lang Man's mother did not agree: "The current trend is the development of alchemy workshops. Even if Lang Man is not talented in magic, he should learn more about magic and alchemy. In the future, becoming the director of an alchemy workshop will be comparable to his career in seafood."
The company is much more impressive.”
The two had a heated discussion on this issue until the "Voice of Mystery" began.
Lang Man, who had been silent all this time, sat in the square, listening to the content of "Revealing the Secret of the Church", feeling confused, a little excited and a little disappointed.
"…···After exploring the world of the dead, several legendary magicians confirmed the existence of Heavenly Mountain and have reason to believe that the God of Truth has fallen into a deep sleep and that his authority has been stolen by the Pope!"
"...Speaking of the Pope, we have to mention his true identity. He is actually the bloody and cruel mage Viken of the ancient Magic Empire. He infiltrated into the ranks of the Cult of Truth and seized power while the God of Truth was sleeping..."
"...Viken once trapped a small town for an experiment, cut off the food supply, and made the people inside kill each other. It is said that the crying and shouting lasted for more than half a month before they subsided.
There are still many innocent souls wandering there to this day..."
Lang Man thought blankly: "Is the Pope really an ancient magician? There seemed to be similar claims before, but there are also other rumors..."
As one program after another was broadcast, Lang Man gradually got rid of his worries and concentrated on listening to his favorite program:
"...Holt Magic Academy held its first 'flying competition' today. There were speed competitions, gorgeous tricks, strong men who relied solely on their own strength, and low-level ones who were good at manipulating flying staffs.
Mage..."
Flying competition? Lang Man listened with great interest to the new "Mage Hundreds", which is a news program dedicated to introducing various interesting things about the Magic Council.
After hearing these interesting things, Lang Man suddenly froze, and there seemed to be a voice roaring in his heart.
Yes, my magic talent is not good, but this does not mean that I do not have arcane talent. Mr. Evans said that as long as you have enough mental power to manipulate simplified alchemical items, you can study arcana. This field of studying the reality of the world and
Same as in mathematics and physics, poor magic talent is not a threshold!
The voice in his heart gradually became clear and audible:
"My dream is to become an arcanist!"

He seemed to have obtained the correct electronic wave function using mathematical methods?
