Arcane Rebirth

The atmosphere of the twelve affiliated colleges under the [Coranburg Library] in the Galanbon era was completely different from the atmosphere of the [Colanbang Public Magic University] in this era.

The history of [Kronenberg Library] dates back to about a thousand years before the Leyline Explosion and before [Dawn Calendar - 2014] when Jialan was frozen. If you include the time after the Leyline Explosion [Apocalypse]

Calendar - 1714], then it was about 2,700 years ago.

At that time, due to the division of the five human kingdoms in Khorvaire, the thousand-year dark period of the [Final War] had just passed. A group of high-level spellcasters who were extremely thirsty for knowledge, in order to exchange their respective collections of books, so

Regularly organize reading groups among spellcasters.

As the gatherings for exchanging books among spellcasters gradually grew in size, the number of participants began to increase, and some management problems arose.

At the same time, because the participants are located at different distances, it is difficult to get together within the agreed time. There are often spellcasters who miss the gathering time due to the long distance, which leads to dissatisfaction.

As a result, some book club organizers began to discuss whether to choose a location to build a fixed gathering place in order to develop this book club into a long-term and stable activity and avoid conflicts arising from the distance issue.

.

Among the core organizers of the reading party at that time, Coran Di Sivis, a high-level dragon-marked descendant of the "Sivis Dragonmark Family" who inherited the [transcript dragon mark], vigorously opposed this proposal.

support.

(Lao Sao's note: Regarding the "dragon pattern", you can see it later, so I won't repeat it here.)

Coran de Sivis not only provided the castle under his name as the venue for the reading club, but also persuaded the senior management of the "Sivis Dragonmark Family" to provide a large amount of financial support for the book club, and used

Provide technical support for the [Dragon Copying] ability mastered by family members.

Therefore, the book club organizers agreed that all spellcasters participating in the book club must contribute their respective book collections for the Sivis family scribes to make a copy and donate it to the established library.

According to the value of the books contributed by the participants, a certain contribution level can be obtained, and the reading permissions of the library will be opened to the participants based on their contribution levels.

This groundbreaking activity slowly attracted a large number of spellcasters and scholars from different places to contribute their rare documents and secret collections in exchange for membership and reading rights into the library.

As more and more members joined the library, the types and quantities of books collected became more and more comprehensive. After thousands of years of slow development, it finally formed a library with as many as three million books when Jialan was the administrator.

The huge size of the library.

However, because the original organizers did not give the library a special name, later people in order to commemorate the founder Colin de Silves who made great contributions, passed down by word of mouth, named the library in Colin

The library in the castle under the name of Di Sivis is conventionally called: [Kranborg Library].

After thousands of years of development, [Coranburg Library] has not only formed a huge city with [Coranburg] as its core, but its function is no longer limited to simply collecting books.

A large number of spellcasters and scholars gathered together and opened twelve affiliated colleges under the name of [Colanburg Library], focusing on different fields, for knowledge seekers from afar to study.

In these affiliated colleges, there are neither "teachers" in the traditional sense nor "students" in the real sense. Most of them are spellcasters and scholars from different places who voluntarily give lectures, discuss and research with each other. As long as you

Anyone who has their own unique experience and is willing to publish it can become a lecturer.

It is very likely that the person standing on the podium is just a low-level spell caster, while the people sitting below and listening to the lecture are all mid-level and high-level spell casters, truly responding to the Eastern Continent proverb "The master is the teacher."

Therefore, in this strong academic atmosphere, every seeker who comes to [Colanburg] is thirsty for knowledge and is pursuing knowledge. There, they need to be restrained by examinations and credits.

Of course, this is probably related to the fact that most of the people who can enter the [Colanburg Library] to study are quite high-level spellcasters and scholars, rather than guys who know nothing about the arcane field. The Twelve Affiliated Colleges, with its

It is better to say that it is a place for teaching knowledge than a place for academic research. It is more appropriate to call it an "academic institute".

Compared with [Coranburg Library], which is mainly operated by donations, [Colanburg Public Magic University], which is operated by collecting tuition fees, appears to be much more utilitarian, and the so-called "credits" are what the college uses.

It is a good way to eliminate those students who "occupy educational resources" and free up places to recruit more students.

The education model requires a large number of credits to advance, which forces lower-grade magic apprentices to spend more gold to listen to the lectures of magic professors in order to obtain what they cannot learn in class.

knowledge, so that you can add a few more points during the final exam...

Although it sounds strange, for the vast majority of ordinary magic apprentices, the knowledge that can be learned in the classroom is definitely not as profound as the knowledge bought by "paying money". This is the difference between "ordinary consumers" and "high-end consumers"

the difference between "."

It’s no wonder that students are so obsessed with precious credits. You can get a precious credit just by relying on physical labor. This is much more cost-effective than spending 20 gold to attend a lecture to get a credit.

The announcement that Jialan asked the girl to post quickly attracted a large number of magic apprentices who hoped to earn a credit, including some middle and senior [major department] students.

Ever since, a scene that surprised Jialan appeared. Compared with the lower-grade magic apprentices who had not yet mastered the power of magic and worked honestly with mops and rags, those higher-grade magic apprentices were cleaning the house.

The methods are a bit eye-opening.

A water magic apprentice summoned a ball of water, which acted as a mop and drove it to roll around on the ground. When the water ball passed by, in addition to leaving a wet mark on the ground, dust and other things were directly covered by the water ball.

Got away.

After the water magic apprentice "mopped" the ground clean, a fire magic apprentice emerged with a layer of fire elements. As he walked around, the water marks on the ground were immediately dried to prevent the ground from getting too wet.

Humidity causes books to get damp.
