Super Floating City

The meeting is over quickly.

When Stephen left the astrologer, the Winter Witch smiled meaningfully at him. The other party had fulfilled what she promised, so it was time for Stephen to do what he should do next.

In contrast, Witch Lianna was much more careless, and followed Stephen with a look of asking for credit, and her smug little expression said bluntly, please praise me and thank me. The news that Stephen will become the chief wizard of the astronomy platform has not yet spread, but it has been heard in the circle of high-level wizards at the core of the five-ring tower. The strength of the Astrologer's wizard is the slowest, maybe one section slower than the Botanical Garden. There are no legendary wizards in the Astrologer at present, and the only one is Akasha, an outsider clairvoyant. She is definitely impossible to become an Astrologer. If it is the chief wizard, then it is a bit reasonable for Stephen to take over this position.

Although the five-ring tower has a relatively open atmosphere, there are still many conservative wizards inside.

Master Xu and his party set off in the afternoon.

Stephen specially went to see him off. The number of people traveling this time is not very large. There are five people on Master Xu's side, three people from the Crow's Nest side, and twelve people from the Astrologer's side. The wizard-Akasha and two other high-level wizards, the wizards of the other astrologers are responsible for maintaining the airship.

"If you encounter any trouble, use the space marker stone to summon me." Stephen said softly.

Master Xu nodded when he heard the words: "Yes. Don't worry, Your Excellency Stephen. I will not act recklessly."

Since Master Xu and his party were the main force in this operation, the high-level wizards in the element pool were not dispatched this time, and most of them were guarding the academy and the secret territory.

After sending Master Xu away, Stephen was busy studying the mutated slime monster, and at the same time found time to instruct the apprentices in the botanical garden. Because he happened to be in the college during this period, the council almost seized the time to arrange a lecture for him. Stephen had no way to shirk it, so he could only talk about the application of super magic skills in "Spell Penetration".

The entire lecture hall was full that day.

Not only all the wizard apprentices who are qualified to attend the class rushed over, even the official wizards came over more than a hundred people, and even Wizard Mograine moved a small bench and sat in the last row silently. The euphemistic name is to help His Excellency Stephen supervise the students who are not paying attention to the class.

Three hours passed quickly.

Only Stephen's voice sounded in the entire lecture hall, and everyone else was silently taking notes seriously.

"alright."

"I'll stop here about the super magic skills of spell penetration." Stephen waved his hand lightly to signal that he could dismiss the class, and continued: "The college assigned me 24 classes in the second half of this year."

"I will focus on the application of super magic skills such as spell penetration, spell maximum effect, spell silent casting, spell sequencing and spell instant casting."

"Part of the spell optimization will also be sorted out."

"You'd better study hard after you go back. If you can't keep up with the progress, you will be disqualified from attending the class."

Excited and nervous exclamations came from below the podium.

Regarding the ability of super magic skills, the Five Rings High Tower has always been groping by itself, because they have not sorted out systematic application skills. The content of Stephen's lectures is easy to understand, but it is very profound after careful consideration. Almost everyone present Everyone gets something. After all, this is the concise version that he sorted out the basic accumulation of the Arcane Empire for thousands of years. As long as the strength of the third-level wizard apprentice is above, he is eligible to start learning slowly.

in the next room.

After Stephen announced that get out of class was over, Witch Lianna silently closed the small notebook in front of her, and then secretly teleported away.

She won't let people know that she needs to eavesdrop on her disciple's lecture.

at dusk.

Stephen is doing research in his room. The mutated slime monster is very adaptable and has excellent phagocytosis and fusion. Stephen is using spells to simulate the desert environment to see if the slime monster he has initially transformed can adapt to the desert environment. If possible, he will be raised in the eastern desert area for a period of time before considering sending it to Crescent Moon.

"Your Excellency Stephen." A witch's soft voice came from outside the door.

Stephen withdrew the faint lightning in his palm, and the mutated slime monster in front of him had been sluggish from the electricity, and was shrinking in the corner of the glass cover at the moment.

This human is simply a devil!

Either using flames or strong acid, or electric shocks, it abruptly turned a demonized, violently mutated slime monster into this appearance.

Stephen pushed the door and walked out, looked up and said, "It turned out to be the Karami witch. What's the matter?"

The other party, Stephen, has met several times. He belongs to the botanical garden and works at the resource department.

"Your Excellency Stephen." The witch in front of her bowed slightly towards Stephen, then handed over a document imprinted with a magic seal and said, "This is the readjustment of resource allocation for you by the college this year, please take a look first, if you don't If you have any questions, please leave your magic mark."

Resource allocation?

Stephen reached out to take it curiously, and his eyes lit up after taking a look.

After the Death Eye battle, Stephen's contribution and authority level in the five-ring tower were already very high, and he was almost catching up with the veteran high-level wizards in the past.

But because he is a newcomer who rises too fast after all, he has to gradually improve the allocation of resources. At most, the council will allocate some extra shares to him. But there is no need to do this now, Stephen's achievements are obvious to all, and the parliament can justifiably allocate more resources to him.

"The monthly ration of magic stones has been increased to 150."

"Obtain the right to control the output of Secret Realm No. 7 for the next five years."

"Obtain the right to control the output of Secret Realm No. 11 for the next ten years."

"Obtain the management authority of Area 16, Area B of the Ecological Park."

"Obtain 50% of the output of Area 12, Area C of the Undersea Secret Realm." (Note: The other 50% of the output is controlled by Helen Witch.)

"The authority level has been raised to A-level."

"In an emergency, you can temporarily deploy materials that do not exceed 10,000 magic stones in the academy, but you must return them all in the future, and at the same time pay an additional fee of 5% per year. It can only be used once a year."

………………

A list of Stephen's current benefits was written on it.

The entire wizarding world is relatively short of currency. Although magic stones are used as currency, they are consumed almost every day. If it weren't for the fact that there are some magic stone minerals on the planet Motera, I'm afraid wizards can only look for them elsewhere. other currencies. In this context, almost all high-level wizards can receive limited magic stones, so the academy generally uses other methods to compensate the interests of high-level wizards, that is, those mastered by the five-ring tower. The right to control the resources of the secret realm.

To put it simply, the output of these secret realms is paid as wages to wizards with high contributions.

"Secret Realm No. 7. I seem to have been there before." Stephen held his chin and said.

He had been to Secret Realm No. 7 before, where there was a huge dragon fruit tree, which belonged to the relatively advanced secret realm of the five-ring tower.

At that time, Witch Lianna used her authority to pick some dragon fruits from it, and it was these fruits that first awakened Stephen's dragon vein ability, which directly made him spit out a small flame while eating.

"Does the right to control the output of the secret realm mean that I can freely control the output of these secret realms?" Stephen asked.

Witch Karami nodded and said: "Yes. However, you only enjoy the control of the output within the year of use, and the academy will rearrange it after the time limit is reached."

"The annual output of the secret realm you own is recorded. You can check it through the academy tower spirit."

"If you don't need these resources in the secret territory, you can sell them yourself or hand them over to the academy for sale, but you can't sell them to wizards outside at will."

Stephen nodded, "Oh."

After speaking, he was directly connected to the original tower spirit of the five-ring tower, and soon saw the output of the No. 7 secret realm, where about 12-15 dragon fruits can be produced every year, and the unified selling price within the academy is 800 magic dragon fruits. stone. Stephen couldn't help being surprised when he saw the price, but he didn't expect Witch Liana to be so generous and willing to use such expensive and rare materials to make magic dishes for them at that time.

Secret Realm 11 is located in the southwest region.

This secret realm is relatively close to the fairy garden, and the resources produced are mainly potions, and the annual output is about 2000-3000 magic stones. Secret Realm No. 11 is a small secret realm. Stephen hasn’t been to Fairy Garden yet, but I heard that that area was developed by ancient wizards. Although many evil spirits were mutated for some reason, it was still developed. A lot of little secrets. This area is an active area for dark wizards. Many wandering dark wizards are looking for mutated magical plants nearby to strengthen themselves. At the same time, the Fairy Garden is also connected to a large area underground.

Area B of the ecological park is a medium-sized tyrannosaurus breeding area. Stephen's management authority is mainly in charging fees and resource allocation. This is a long-term source of income, and the number of years is not marked. He can get five or six hundred magic coins a year. Stone bar.

The most important function of this authority is to facilitate Stephen's training of apprentices.

In the future, his disciples can directly enter Zone B of the ecological park. As long as it is within the scope of Stephen's management, they can regularly hunt and kill dinosaur species to obtain cultivation resources.

Another big head is the output of the seabed secret realm.

This is a super-large secret realm. The area occupied by the five-ring tower is about tens of thousands of square kilometers. The sea area owned by Stephen is about 600 square kilometers. Of course, he can only get 50% of the output of this area. , and the other half belonged to the Helen witch he was more familiar with.

The final allocation of resources is relatively simple, because wizards are often short of money.

The material allocation quota of 10,000 magic stones is not very high. It can only be said to be a small benefit brought about by the increase in authority. The output of Stephen No. 7 secret realm in one year is already worth 10,000 magic stones.

These resource allocations are regarded as stable income from the academy.

That is the so-called subsistence allowances.

It can be guaranteed that some wizards of the academic research school can barely spend enough money in their hands every year. If it is really about resource consumption, this income is not enough for a high-level wizard. Basically, all the wizards in the Five Rings Tower have extra income. The magic stones issued by the academy are too small, and high-level wizards will also take on tasks regularly. more.

The five-ring tower holds some rich mineral resources.

For example, there is a certain large-scale magic stone mining area in the northwest region, but these mining areas do not belong to individuals, they are the property of the college, and the income from the output is directly included in the college's warehouse, which is used to maintain the daily operation of the college.

Most of the real resources that can be allocated to wizards are secret realm resources.

Stephen roughly calculated that the resources allocated by him, in addition to the cost of daily maintenance, can generate an income of about 15,000-18,000 magic stones per year.

Of course, if Stephen went to sit in the secret realm in person, his income would be a little higher, and he could easily reach more than 20,000 magic stones.

But where does he have the leisure to squat in the secret realm, he must hand it over to the mission hall of the college for management. In this way, there will be about 5000-6000 magic stones in management expenses every year. The bulk of this management expenditure is the No. 7 Secret Realm and the Undersea Secret Realm, and the management expenditure of the No. 11 Secret Realm is five or six hundred magic stones per year. Usually, when other high-level wizards obtain the authority of the secret realm, they hand it over to their apprentices to take care of them. However, Stephen doesn't have any apprentices who can show them off, so he can only issue tasks through the mission hall.

The twin sisters have been helping Witch Liana take care of the botanical garden until now, so she has always been a little rich woman, so it is very profitable to have some talented apprentices.

"No problem." Stephen raised his hand to leave his magic mark on the document.

The five-ring tower is quite kind.

The output of the secret realm that is close to 20,000 magic stones a year is considered a high salary in the entire academy.

In addition to the regular allocation of other resources, as well as the distribution of potions every year, the five-ring tower spends nearly 50,000 magic stones on Stephen on average a year. That is to say, the five-ring high tower treats its internal personnel so generously because of its wealth and wealth. If it is replaced by other organizations of black wizards, the resources are basically divided up by the core of the organization. He used his life to fight for the resources to advance. However, in the five-ring tower, even the apprentices who have just arrived are regularly assigned magic stones, as long as they are not particularly lazy, they can obtain the basic resource requirements to maintain promotion.

In this regard, Stephen likes the five-ring tower very much.

In some systems, the five-ring tower may be superior to the academy in the Arcane Empire period. Of course, the prerequisite for everything is that the five-ring tower must maintain its current financial resources.

That's why all wizards stand together whenever there's a crisis at the academy.

………………

(Remarks: Nearly half of the resource output of the five-ring tower is consumed in the element pool, about 30% is allocated to the botanical garden, and the remaining 20% ​​is handed over to the astrologer. The actual combat wizards in the element pool have always been the core of the battle main force.)
