In the school grounds in the core area of Miracle City, a fist-sized fireball hit a target, and the wooden target was shattered into pieces.
A group of seven or eight-year-old children around him cheered and clapped fiercely. This fireball technique may be average in Richard's eyes, but it is definitely amazing in the eyes of these children. In their small eyes,
Everyone showed high expectations.
Gandolf, who had released this fireball technique, was stroking his gray beard with a reserved look at this time. With the mage robe that he had specially cut by someone, he really looked like a mage, but when he was stroking his beard
, there was still a smile on his face, and he was obviously very satisfied with the effect of the pretense he had just performed.
After Gandolf came to Miracle City, Richard did not let him idle. Now that the magic power has been restored to the point where he can barely practice magic, he has to cultivate his own magic master. This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later. This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later.
Being the first to get things done will give you a clear advantage.
Gandolf is also a good teacher. When Richard proposed to start training students on a large scale, he immediately agreed.
To be honest, Gandolf's talent in magic is not very high. It is more about theoretical knowledge. A few months after obtaining the magic crystal, he was able to skillfully release ordinary first-level magic such as fireball.
According to the standards of the Elf Empire era, it can only be regarded as the level of a magic apprentice.
On the contrary, his disciple Luo Lin has successfully broken through the first level and can stably release the second level magic. According to the classification of the Elf Empire period, he can be regarded as an official mage. It took a few months to reach this point. In the Elf Empire
The era can also be called a genius.
However, Gandolf is obviously more experienced in teaching disciples, so in this secret academy, Gandolf serves as the dean, while Luo Lin serves as an assistant teacher.
"grown ups!…"
Gandolf had not maintained his master look for long before the sound of salutes from the academy guards could be heard. This secret magic academy is currently the top secret of the Hunter family. No one else may know about it, even if they come in.
What's going on here?
These students entering the academy have also been greeted by Miracle City officials as guarantors for a long time. They cannot leave here within three years to prevent the secret from being leaked. Who else can enter the academy so smoothly now except Richard.
Gandolf didn't care about pretending to be reserved. He immediately tidied up his clothes, put on a somewhat flattering smile and greeted Richard. Gandolf obviously did not have the aloofness of the Master.
Having been a court mage for so many years, amidst the doubts from the outside world, the latter has shamelessly accepted so many offerings from the kingdom, which has long since worn away his pride. He is a person who is not inferior to the merchants in the market in terms of tact and sophistication.
Those who have the deepest impression of Richard's magic are also very aware of Richard's power in the North, so they will naturally show a flattering attitude.
"Good day, Lord Richard. Gandalf salutes you, and my beautiful lady salutes you."
Gandolf took off his hat and bowed slightly to Richard and Messiah.
"Hello, Sir Richard."
Luo Lin on the side acted a little stiffer, but also showed respect for Richard.
Of course, as long as you have an attitude towards this kind of thing, that's not what Richard cares about.
"Master Gandolf is too polite. Now I have to work hard for you to take care of the affairs of the academy."
"That's my job."
"What are the talents of these children?"
After a few casual greetings, Richard shifted the topic to the focus of his concern. He never takes education lightly, whether it is the ordinary knight academy in Miracle City or the mage academy that is still kept secret.
.
"The talents are quite good, and we are still in the stage of cultivating their interests and laying a foundation for them."
After all, the Hunter family used official power to select these dozen people. Basically all of them were literate, and at least they were children from wealthy families. This saved Gandolf, who was in charge of teaching, a lot of effort.
Compared with the Knight Academy, except for the reason of innate physical weakness, the threshold of the Master is actually much higher. At least children from common people have a chance to climb the threshold of the Knight, but the Master has been unable to do so from the beginning.
The vast majority of civilians have been eliminated.
Of course, according to Richard's habit, the profession of Master cannot be monopolized by the powerful class. It has not reached that point yet. When the enrollment scope is expanded, the official will still come out to provide certain support to the children of the common people to maintain some
Balance, but now is not the time.
"They still need to understand some basic spell-casting theories. If they want to condense magic power, I hope Sir Richard can provide a batch of magic crystals."
Although Miracle City itself has shown signs of magic recovery, magic crystals are still important props that can assist in practicing magic. Especially when newbies are just getting started, touching magic crystals can help them feel the presence of magic better.
"From now on, let Manager Egg allocate ten units of magic crystals every month for the college's consumption."
"Thank you, Lord Richard."
"One more thing."
After agreeing to transfer the magic crystal,
"Master Richard, please give me your instructions."
"In the future, Messiah will also join Miracle City Magic Academy and become a member of the Magic Academy."
"Huh? As a life teacher?"
According to Richard's caution, it is of course impossible for an important school like the Magic Academy to be completely managed by Gandolf and Luo Lin. It's not that they don't trust them, but it's just an arrangement to prevent problems before they happen.
Except for Gandolf, who serves as the nominal dean, he is basically only responsible for teaching students magic knowledge like Luo Lin. They are not involved in the management of other things. Students have dedicated life teachers, ideological teachers and even physical education teachers for their daily lives.
Teacher, after all, Richard believes that a mage who cannot kill people with a knight's sword is not a good mage.
Gandolf is not involved in daily management. Gandolf himself has no desire for power. This model is acceptable to him. So when Richard said that Messiah would also join the academy, he subconsciously thought that Richard
It is to send a wife whom you trust to serve as a life teacher or ideological teacher in the college.
But Richard shook his head and said to Gandolf:
"Messiah is here to be a student, Lord Gandolf will have to worry more about it in the future."
"ah?"
Richard's words obviously made Gandolf unable to react, but Messiah on the side gave Gandolf a slight salute.
"I'll ask Lord Gandolf to teach me patiently from now on."
"this…"
"It is my honor to be able to teach you magic."
Gandolf subconsciously wanted to say something about the talent test, but luckily he reacted quickly. Even if the Messiah's talent is rotten, he still has to teach him. If the Messiah wants to learn magic, how can he get the chance to do it to others?
Talent comes to pick and choose.
Speaking of which, this is also the tragedy of mages in this era. During the Elf Empire, for any formal mage to accept a disciple, the conditions were extremely harsh, and how could he be as humble as Gandolf.
Letting Gandolf teach Messiah magic was something that Richard had agreed to before. He waited until the magic academy opened and then brought Messiah over as a student. Richard, who had always cared about rules, could be regarded as a Messiah.
An exception was made.
“When will the Messiah begin his studies?”
"Just now."
"I hope I can help you quickly."
Richard nodded. Although in his opinion, even if Messiah became a formal magician, her help to him would be limited, but he was always a little moved in his heart. She understood Messiah's anxiety, a sky-level magician.
The lifespan of a master is close to two hundred years. If she doesn't work hard to catch up, how can she stay with Richard for a long time?
In the end, Messiah stayed in the academy and began to learn magic from Gandalf and Luo Lin, while Richard returned to the city lord's mansion after a tour.
At this time, a messenger was anxiously waiting for Richard's return. There was a cage hanging on his waist, and inside stood a wind bird. The wind bird had a red feather on its tail. According to the Hunter family's rules,
As a rule, only the most urgent information will be delivered using red-feathered wind birds.
"Lord Richard! This is the letter from Lord Elena."
As soon as he saw Richard coming back, the messenger breathed a sigh of relief and immediately handed the paper tube on the wind bird to Richard.
Now that the ogres in the wilderness basically no longer pose a threat, the only thing that could allow Elena to send such an urgent letter was about the Snow Giant. When she opened the note, it turned out to be something related to the Snow Giant.
Richard was happy at first, then frowned.
The news is mixed. The good news is that the location for the tower base seems to have been found. The bad news is that Elena's ice flame tribe is facing a large tribe of snow giants. The snow giants do not have the ogres and ogres before.
The orcs on the expedition are so easy to dispatch...
