The blue moonlight shines through the windows carved with hollow patterns, sprinkling mottled light spots on the ground, making the deserted corridor extraordinarily quiet.
Andre Field left in a hurry.
He had just finished a day of magic study and was on his way back to his dormitory. Recently, he was trying to establish contact with the Destiny Star and was preparing to be promoted to an official magician.
Andre's magic talent was not outstanding, it was just a "qualified" level; he was lucky to be admitted to the Mage Tower, and he barely managed to get through.
Because of this, he had to spend more effort than others to keep up with others.
"Maybe I'm not suitable to come to the Mage Tower at all..." He had thought this way more than once.
On the way back, Andre picked up a copy of the latest Braddon Morning News from the newspaper rack.
Reading newspapers has been a habit he has developed for a long time.
Originally it was to focus on the gossip about opera actresses.
However, after he entered the Mage Tower, the busy life gradually made him lose the leisure and leisure of gossip. At this time, he read the newspaper more to pay attention to his immediate interests.
For example, the research subsidy provided by the Royal Government to the Mage Tower.
Since Her Majesty Queen Margaret has given Mage Tower unprecedented support, there have been many comments of praise, as well as voices of opposition.
The Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Baron Sistine King, was the one who took the lead in singing the opposite tune.
The Prime Minister often makes remarks claiming that the treatment given to magicians by the Kingdom is "too good" and even exceeds their fair share.
In his view, perhaps the magic steam engine and other alchemical items have indeed greatly enhanced the kingdom's national power, but purely theoretical magic subjects such as elemental magic and astrological magic are completely out of proportion to the input and output, and it is almost difficult to
To bring substantial benefits to the kingdom, there is no need to provide so much funding.
Andre and his companions always believed that the Prime Minister was arrogant.
They know very well that even practical subjects like alchemy are essentially derived from the most basic elemental magic and rune magic. Without a theoretical foundation, how can we build a high-rise building?
But unexpectedly, the Prime Minister's views were widely echoed across the country. Not only were the nobles willing to cheer for him, but more than half of the MPs also deeply agreed with it.
At present, the bill to reduce the funding of the Mage Tower has been voted on by the upper and lower houses.
As long as Her Majesty the Queen signs it, this bill will be turned into a black-and-white decree with lightning speed and be implemented nationwide.
This made Andre deeply worried.
If his monthly allowance is reduced as a result, it will be difficult for him to continue to maintain his dignity as a magician.
A few minutes later, Andre returned to the door of dormitory 601.
At this time, he touched his pocket and found that he had come out in a hurry in the morning and did not even bring the key to his dormitory.
"What the hell!" he muttered in his mind.
He stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally overcame the psychological pressure. He knocked on the door three times and asked for help from the idol he had always admired most. He just hoped that he would not disturb the other person.
Allen's voice came from inside the door: "Andre, is that you?"
"It's me," Andre replied, "Alan, I'm sorry to bother you, I didn't bring my keys today. I need them."
"No problem," Allen agreed readily, but before Andre could react, he changed the topic, "But, Andre, if you are not in a hurry, can you do me a favor first?"
"This...of course it's okay."
Andre was a little surprised by Allen's words. But of course he would not refuse the request from his idol.
I only heard Allen continue to say: "I have recently developed a new spell called the 'Master Key'. With this spell, we can open all the locks in the world. If you don't mind, I would like to ask you to help me test it."
one time."
"But I'm just a magic apprentice, I don't have magic power yet." Andre lowered his head and said.
Seemingly aware of Andre's doubts, Allen smiled and explained on the other side of the door: "This spell is different from ordinary spells. After my special processing, it broke the ordinary spell's influence on the source of power.
In addition to the limitations of magic power, spiritual power... and even the divine power of priests can be used to drive it."
Allen's tone sounded calm and calm, but in Andre's ears, it was like rolling thunder.
"Completely breaking the restrictions of spells on the source of power" is simply a feat that is more revolutionary than the creation of spiritual magic. Once it becomes widely known, it will definitely set off an unprecedented storm across the country.
Andre simply couldn't imagine what kind of expressions the magicians would have on their faces after learning about this matter.
Andre knew exactly what this meant.
This means that Alan York, who is only a first-level magician, has now seen through the appearance of magic and glimpsed the essence of power.
This is something that many ninth-level magicians cannot do.
Of course, this also means that Andre himself will become a witness to history on this extraordinary night, a unique witness.
When Allen told him the spell, he took a deep breath, stared at the keyhole, and then murmured a word.
The door opened.
During this whole process, he could hardly feel the consumption of mental energy.
Allen stood behind the door and looked at him with a smile.
"How does it feel?"
"It's very pleasant," Andre replied without hesitation, "I have never used such a comfortable spell."
"That's good." Allen nodded, as if Andre's words confirmed one of his guesses.
"Alan, I must say, this is really a genius invention, an amazing creation that can refresh the existing magic theory." Andre looked at Alan's eyes and admired from the bottom of his heart, "If you put
It is written as a paper and submitted, and I am afraid that even a five-star review cannot measure its value."
"Thank you for your approval," Allen replied politely, "but I have no plans to submit a paper for the time being."
"Why?" Andre was very puzzled.
Every paper with outstanding research results can be exchanged for a large number of resources from the Mage Tower, such as rare magic materials, magic array maps, guidance from ninth-level magicians, etc.
If it were Andre himself, he would definitely get enough of the benefits before the Prime Minister decided to withhold the research funding for the Mage Tower.
Allen chuckled and replied: "It's a small skill, nothing to mention.
"Besides, I don't want to be the main culprit for the increase in burglaries.
"So, Andre, please promise me not to spread it outside until I find a way to restrain it."
Andre nodded, deeply convinced.
