The Truth of Magic

121 chapter 120 transformation lecture

The next day, after Zhao Xu prepared some Reading Magic spells, he went to the lecture room in the floating city to listen to the lectures.

in general, after the novice wizards in floating city graduated, whether it was arthur’s residents or players, many of them who took the research path would find a mentor to do spell research with.

The mentors would provide the new mages with learning resources, while the new mages would be the research labor force, helping the mentors to study the side branches of the topic. This kind of complementary relationship had always been the norm in the floating city.

Only mages who had climbed to the middle-rank of the backbone were qualified to apply for a research facility in the floating city as subject mentors, and their number of assistants was limited.

Once a level 1 wizard who had successfully graduated could not find a way or did not have the qualifications to be an assistant, they would basically be given three months to leave, and the same was true for the players.

zhao xu had only seen quite a few players coming in and out during the first month. in another three months, the number of players would be reduced by at least half, and that would even have to include the new players.

such a situation where high-level mages drove middle-level core mages, and middle-level core mages drove novice mages also formed the floating city’s pyramid, forming two lines with the faint power of the mage family behind it.

only someone like zhao xu, who had a tutor come to him on the first day, would not have to worry about which path to take, which topic to focus on, or how to recommend himself after the training was over.

Academic lectures were a benefit given by the Association’s headquarters to all mages stationed in the floating city.

every day, the association would arrange for some high-level and even legendary mages to target their research. they would give lectures in academic forums and impart their ideas. this was also a disguised way of verifying their ideas.

Antonya’s private lessons for Zhao Xu were usually in the afternoon or at night, and he would study on his own in the morning.

zhao xu looked at the lecture schedule in the floating city and noticed that there was a transfiguration spell lecture this morning, so he came here early.

although he had experienced the level nine transformation spell ” body transformation ” the day before yesterday, he still had many details he wanted to know.

he had always been curious about the state he was in at the time.

He, who had transformed into a blazing God’s servant, had restored the mentality of a warrior in his previous life at that moment. It was as if he was on the battlefield, and all he wanted to do was to wave his weapon and kill all the enemies.

at that moment, zhao xu felt as if he was controlling a max-level account.

Zhao Xu was quite fascinated by this sort of magical power.

Especially when he was at Level 3, he was about to come into contact with the level 2 arcane transformation.

Although he wasn’t a specialized wizard, but an all-rounder wizard, the number of advanced spells was no less than level 1 spells, so he needed to understand them to distinguish between the light and heavy ones.

antonya rarely made any decisions when it came to choosing spells, and most of the time, she just let him develop his spells on his own.

“a ticket?” the waiter standing at the door asked zhao xu as he walked over.

Compared to the other Wizards who were still apprentices, Zhao Xu had already become a level 1 wizard, so he was considered to have entered the ranks of power, even though he was only at the very bottom.

Zhao Xu immediately felt awkward. He had actually forgotten about this.

The academic lectures often involved the discussion environment, and many high-level mages did not like too lively scenes.

Most of the time, popular talks would use the method of distributing tickets.

When Zhao Xu was still an apprentice, Antonya had filtered out a list of lectures for him to attend, and she had even booked some tickets for him.

when he heard this question, zhao xu realized that he had forgotten that this lecture was quite popular, so he needed a ticket to get in.

It was just that it would take him more than half an hour to go to the office of the Association to apply for a ticket and then rush back.

“i’m sorry, mr. mage, please come in.” At this moment, a middle-aged apprentice-looking man in a mage’s robe walked to the door. He noticed that Zhao Xu, who was wearing a silver-framed badge, had been stopped, so he quickly said, ”

zhao xu looked at the silver tag on the wizard’s chest. it said ” logistics management ” and he knew that this wizard was the organizer of this lecture.

Zhao Xu didn’t say anything more since the other party had already told him to go in, but he seemed to have understood something.

The middle-aged apprentice squinted his eyes and pretended not to care as he took Zhao Xu’s badge. He then said enthusiastically, ” ” hello, mage zhongxia. the seats without numbers are free to sit at. let me send you in first. ”

Zhao Xu wasn’t used to being treated so warmly, so he quickly waved his hand.

For example, when he went to eat hotpot at a certain place, he always asked the waiter to leave him alone.

The middle-aged apprentice kept staring at Zhao Xu until he disappeared into the crowd.

He then turned around and glared at the two waiters who had just stopped Zhao Xu. “didn’t i tell you that anyone who has a sign behind their wizard badge is a privileged class that can’t be stopped? the seats without numbers in this lecture hall are designed for them. they would rather leave the seats empty than give out tickets.”

at this time, a younger waitress who was reprimanded protested in a low voice, ” manager, didn’t you say that we can’t stop those with gold-rimmed chips on the back of their badges? but this mage is clearly silver-rimmed, shouldn’t it be lower? ”

“you still dare to talk back? open your eyes and look, that’s mithril! it was more valuable than gold! That distant uncle’s mage only managed to become a teacher in the floating city last month, and his badge is made into a silver-edged chip, understand?”

————————————————

there were many academic lectures in the floating city, and they were basically arranged according to the topic of the lecture. some academic lectures even had a table full of alchemy equipment for the convenience of experiments.

the academic lecture room that zhao xu was in had a similar layout to the awakening hall. it was just like a movie theater. the seats at the back kept on rising, and the podium at the front was equipped with a wide whiteboard.

Most of the seats in the lecture room had been taken. The speaker was a ninth-circle mage, and many Level 1 and Level 2 mages had come to get familiar with him as long as they could get a ticket.

of course, they did not expect to be apprenticed to a ninth-circle sorcerer, but these ninth-circle sorcerers had a lot of disciples. with just a look from him, his disciples would come and recruit the appreciated grade-1 sorcerer as his assistant.

zhao xu didn’t pay too much attention to it. he saw that the first row of large, soft chairs had no numbers on them. he could sit on any of them he wanted, so he walked over and sat down.

as time went on, the entire venue slowly went from 70% to 80% full.

at this time, a fat mage who was sweating all over rushed into the venue. he had not even caught his breath when he found that the entire hall was almost full of seats. with his figure, there was no way he could squeeze in the ordinary seats.

he quickly looked at the seats that were not marked with numbers. there were often some confused new mages who would sit in the wrong seats, but because the seats were already full, there were not many mistakes.

however, the arrogant fat mage immediately swept his gaze across the seats in the first row.

can’t afford to offend, can’t afford to offend, can’t afford to offend, can’t afford to offend qingqing

the fat mage glanced at the whole row of seventh-circle and eighth-circle mages who could hang him up and beat him up, so he directly classified them into the ” can’t afford to offend ” category.

eh?

the fat wizard counted to the end and saw an unfamiliar face.

can’t afford to offend?

he thought for a moment about which big shot’s descendant he was and realized that there was a mark of a first circle wizard on the robe that zhao xu had just changed into.

It was also this obvious mark that made many Level 1 mages prefer to have a new set of robes custom-made for themselves rather than wearing the floating city’s uniform robes that were given out for free.

on the other hand, the fat mage was overjoyed. so what if he was the descendant of a big shot? wasn’t it normal for low-level mages to give way to high-level mages? after all, his family was more or less ranked among the hundred great mage families in floating city.

” little ... ” the fat wizard was just about to say the last few words when he got closer to zhao xu, but he couldn’t finish them.

he saw zhao xu’s wizard badge with a mithril chip on it.

Cold sweat trickled down his back.

“yes, what’s the matter?”

just as the lecture was about to start, zhao xu noticed a wizard who was as fat as a mountain blocking his way, so he couldn’t help but ask curiously.

” oh, oh, it’s nothing. mr. zhongxia, i suddenly hit it off with you at first sight. you don’t mind me sitting beside you and feeling your majesty, do you? ”

the fat wizard, lynch, smiled flatteringly as he took out a folding chair from his storage bag.

it wasn’t that the fat wizard couldn’t conjure a comfortable chair out of thin air, but there were so many high-level wizards here that there were even two powerful wizards in the field of spellcasting and transformation sitting two seats away from zhao xu.

fatty qi lin naturally didn’t dare to show off in front of an expert. if he accidentally got some pointers later, he would have to hand in a research project report later.

Zhao Xu thought to himself that he hadn’t even agreed to it yet, so who knew that this fatty would just sit down like that?

” hello, mr. zhongxia. i’m lynch, a fifth-circle mage. ” the fat mage introduced himself, revealing his shiny white teeth.

at the same time, he couldn’t help but shake his chest, causing his already somewhat greasy badge to move, causing the five rings to start intertwining.

zhao xu had no choice but to turn around and nod. ” ” zhongxia, a rank 1 mage. ”

“i wonder who your master is, little brother. could it be wizard nochi who’s here to give a lecture today? i heard that he created a low-level simulacrum technique last month, and he can use a low-level technique to create an extremely realistic human?” the fat wizard, lynch, saw that zhao xu didn’t mind talking to him, so he took advantage of the situation and asked him questions as he smiled.

zhao xu was so young, but he was already sitting here with an insignia with a mithril chip on it. this made him, who claimed to be the first information relay station in floating city, extremely curious.

when zhao xu heard this, he frowned a little and asked curiously, ” ” why are all the male mages i’ve met so optimistic like you? ”

reyan was one, mage en was half, and this fatty was probably one and a half ...

funny.

” ah, it’s very tiring to do spell research. if you don’t drive a little more, it’s very easy to get autistic. ” the fat lin qi laughed, the flesh on his face folding up.

just then, wizard nochi, who was in charge of this lecture, walked in from the main entrance.

The originally noisy Hall also quieted down.

Nochi’s appearance looked like he was less than 50 years old. His sword-like eyebrows were raised in anger, and he looked like he was not easy to get along with.

At this time, he walked to the back of the podium and slightly adjusted the sound aid device in front of the podium. The golems, invisible servants, and even the waiters were already standing on standby at the side.

“Yesterday, the Association informed me to hold this seminar. We were in a hurry and I forgot to tell the Association. however, it’s not too late now. those with intelligence below 17, please leave. you’re just wasting your time here.”
