The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Although two days after we arrived in this city with the envoys of the Wood Spirit Clan, the negotiations with the Council of Truth, officially known as the "Truth Seminar" as the highest authority in the country of mages, have not yet started. It's not that they put on airs, or simply avoided seeing it, but that we simply came at the wrong time, and the parliament is just an empty air.

"A request for an emergency hearing? But now six of the twenty-eight truth controllers are on the front line of the Bayer Empire's confrontation, and less than half of them cannot attend the meeting at all."

"Other truth controllers? Well, generally speaking, it would be good if the whereabouts of half of the truth controllers can be grasped. Now there are six truth controllers in the Cloud Tower, and there is no way to hold a meeting. At least wait Enough for ten people. Otherwise, just wait for the regular meeting next month."

Aroso of Arcane Blade is one of the most famous ice mages in the contemporary era. Aroso, who has half-stepped into the rank of demigod, was once a member of the master of truth. When we just arrived, he was Received me and explained my proposal.

Judging from his unabashed enthusiasm and the special hug and thanks when we met, the mage information of "Ice Age" that I gave directly seems to be very appetizing to him, and he has benefited a lot.

"Roland, I didn't expect that we would meet again one day. The king of skipping school would have such a mature day. As the dean, I am very pleased."

The old mage, who has a plump body that is rare among mages, is a well-known good old man in the Yunzhong Pagoda. At this time, he is smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.

And we really have a teacher-student friendship. The junior college where Kaid and I were studying at the time was also a subordinate college of "Arcana Blade", and the dean of teaching at that time was Aroso himself. The dean of the college, so I even have his seal and signature on the graduation certificate I reissued.

But although we have a teacher-student relationship, it is not a teacher-student relationship like that of Heloise and Amyra.

I am afraid that in order to explain clearly, we must first introduce the special political structure of the kingdom of mages.

This country is not so much an independent country, a place where a certain class rules over others, but a super large collection of research institutes.

Ainro means "knowledge seekers" in the ancient language, which is also the name of this city, and Ainrodante is "the gathering place of knowledge seekers", I am afraid that this name can explain a lot.

The ruling foundation of this country is not nobles, those so-called nobles are just local officials who manage the administration, and although it is a country of mages, the real rulers are not pure lone mages.

the whole kingdom of mages,

It is composed of countless large, medium and small spellcasting organizations, and spellcasters often choose the most suitable mage organization for them, and the one that speaks the most is always the collective organization.

However, in larger organizations, there are still various schools and small organizations. The key difference lies in the fact that mages pursue and understand the truth differently.

"I want to prove the enlightenment of starry magic to fate."

Master Rodriguez had this idea, and there was the famous mage organization "Apocalypse of the Stars". Their power words, prophecy, and constellation magic are all at the top level in the world, but their members are generally nerdy. , The actual combat experience is extremely lacking, and it is not bad to be able to display half of the combat power in actual combat.

"I pursue the ultimate in magic warfare."

With this idea in mind, Master Rivist created the organization "Blade of Arcana", and their members are often the rare actual combat faction among mages. They are outstanding in all kinds of combat spellcasting and spell warfare skills. Half of the courses It is an actual combat class, and the growth process is often the history of combat. In the same level of battle, one is better than two. There are a lot of actual combat skills and small spells, but what top theoretical results you want them to come up with is very difficult. embarrass him.

Well, although the above two organizations are both one of the most powerful mage organizations in Ainrodante, the relationship between them is okay. Basically, it can be seen as the difference between the theoretical school and the practical school. No difference.

But this difference is not absolute. The sage Margaret is a member of a certain niche genre in "Apocalypse of the Stars", but she is definitely good at fighting all over the world.

In a sense, I am also a member of Arcane Blade, but not to mention the annoying elemental magic, at least my research on undead magic is still very deep.

On the other hand, the creator's ideals tend to change over time. For example, the mage organization called "Sword of Order", whose founder is a fanatical believer in the Holy Light, and the research topic is also related to the magic of order, Belief in the Force, the application of the Holy Light in magic, and similar things, but in modern times, the changes are so great that they can piss off the founder.

Perhaps their magic in terms of rules and concepts has gone too far and too far, or it may be that things must be reversed. They have long shrunk holy light spells to what they are best at, but instead they are weird things... such as undead magic, summoning Demons, oriental talismans, are definitely the settlements of various niche researchers, and the research on various taboo spells is among the best in the entire world.

And the relationship between various organizations is also a bad debt. Some small organizations are linked to several large organizations at the same time, because their core layers are all derived from those large organizations, but the relationship between those few large organizations It’s also very bad, I don’t know who to support every time I have a symposium... Don’t underestimate the symposium, this is the most important conference in this country, every time conflicting arguments are introduced, the conference room will immediately change Arena.

Yes, the most important meeting in this country is a colloquium, not a serious political meeting.

Since all mage organizations aim to pursue the truth, the disputes between them can only be regarded as academic exchanges and discussions. In the country of mages, the highest-level academic seminar is the "Truth Seminar". Well, it also The country's highest authority.

The number of participants in this seminar is not fixed. Archmages with high research results and high reputations will be invited, and they will also be awarded the unofficial honorary title of "Truth Controller". There is no interest in the seminars that can't be concluded. After barely participating in a few sessions, I feel that it is not worthwhile to suffer for the name, so I try to retire early and replace people.

reason? This seminar is divided into regular convening and emergency convening. All mages who have reached a certain level can apply to attend (to cheer for their boss). When I was still an apprentice, I attended two seminars, and 30% of the time was spent on boasting about myself Academic achievements, 50% of the time is spent attacking the latest achievements proposed by the other party, either plagiarized, or simply worthless, and the remaining 20% ​​of the time is spent fighting for budgets and resources, robbing the new generation of outstanding mages...

As for administrative matters? When the saliva dries up and the fight can't continue, the last five minutes are used to pass various government orders at high speed. The efficiency is not ordinary high. It's gone. It's thanks to those officials in charge of administrative affairs that there is such a boss.

"It's just a farce. They're all old and stubborn. They're all top experts in their own fields. Who can convince others with just words, and there are dead rules not to do it. After the debate, it's not more reasonable than anyone else, but Who has a louder voice, better energy, and can last longer!"

This is also the reason why the country of mages has not launched a war of aggression for thousands of years. Ambitious mages are not useless, but to get other mages at the meeting and pass the war resolution with a majority vote, it is as difficult as a hen It is better to conquer a country directly with personal strength.

This is also the reason why the country of mages is not even a country at all. For a truly pure mage, his entire world is his research room and library, and he really lacks ambitions for territory and honor, which is exactly the opposite of the hegemony of the world.

With such a political system, it is impossible for the "Truth Seminar" to discuss the truth, and it is easy to form enemies. From different views on things to quarrels to real quarrels, it finally developed into "Don't leave after the meeting, Zhongshan Park See" too many things.

Every time you pass the garden, you can see various hand-to-hand fights (forbidden spell duels), many of them are gray-haired old professors, not to mention educated rogues (mages), and mages who know martial arts have seen many .

Attending one or two long and meaningless conferences is enough to make people uncomfortable, but if it is a small organization or a lone mage, the research results will be questioned in various ways, which is even more unpleasant, so the seminar is always due to absence There are too many delays...but because it doesn't make any difference whether you can hold a meeting or not, it makes people happy that it is always postponed.

But only the heads of the 18 most powerful mage organizations must attend this regularly held seminar. Their stalls are too large to ignore. In a sense, this also leads to the renewal speed of the heads of these large organizations. Very fast, as if it were a bloody chore.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. For example, a certain witch took the initiative to get this position. Although her main goal was to extort research funds and cover up her own criminal record, she could still rely on her good looks and external camouflage. With the communication ability to perceive other people's emotions, he has led several large-scale events, and even won many debates. He has high popularity and prestige in the Cloud Tower and Arcane Blade.

Well, the witch Amyra was also a member of Arcane Blade, and even taught me and the same period a big lesson.

What gave me a headache was that I had to attend this headache-inducing meeting.

Not long ago, after meeting Osluven, the master of truth, that epic mission directly gave me the next step to do.

[Congratulations to the host for triggering an epic plot mission: returning home or phoenix in distress. Ask the host to participate in a truth seminar, and trigger the next task according to the progress of the meeting and the identity of the participant. System prompt: You know the rules among mages, and if you want to talk about things, come up with something real. 】

Judging from the triggering of this chain mission, the ultimate goal of this epic mission is already obvious. It is nothing more than directly or indirectly affecting matters related to the Three Kingdoms War, so this mission is obviously a chain nature. Certain prestige, and after the choice, it will naturally expand its influence, and only when it has a voice can it affect the entire war situation.

For me and the newly born Lanmeng, allies are necessary, and the support of the super empire that can be said in human society must also be won.

As an alternative in the super empire, when other super empires have problems, the kingdom of mages is probably the most trustworthy ally, and it is obviously necessary to win their support.

With the system's consistent cheating habits, I can guarantee that if you don't have the status to speak at the meeting and don't have enough influence on the meeting, the subsequent development will only become more and more cheating, and if you are not sure, it will be a coincidence Became the backbone of the cannon fodder for the charge.

The postponement of the seminar is both a good thing and a bad thing for me. The bad thing is that the task will not be able to continue for a while. The good thing is that I have more time to prepare.

For the next seminar, due to important war issues, the invitation letter has been sent out, and it has been stated that no absences are allowed, and it should not be postponed. My current goal is probably how to do it in this short month. Build enough reputation to influence the course of the meeting if necessary.

"So many things have happened recently, the seminar must be held, at most one or two months at night. Roland, wait for a while and get familiar with the environment. Now the situation seems to have eased, and they should be there soon The two of you come back, and it can be held at that time. By the way, why don’t you come to my college for two classes to pass the time, and the students should be very happy when a senior comes back to teach.”

I just remembered that Aroso had helped me obtain a qualification as a special lecturer before. At that time, I knew that he was trying to help me obtain an identity in the kingdom of mages, but I didn't expect to ask me to give lectures.

After all, in a sense, we are all students who have come out of his academy. Of course, the students who come out of this kind of academy are completely different from the kind of direct disciples.

Many large and medium-sized mage organizations have their own magic academies, they are the cradle of novices, and also the arena for talent and diligence.

Naturally, the contributions of mage organizations are not free. Due to the existence of this relationship, the rookies in the academy can easily become the new blood of their respective organizations. When they want to become full members, they must either perform extremely well or become mages. Candidates for true disciples.

The general knowledge of the college is limited and superficial, but it is the essence after many years of refining and pruning, and it is also a basic step forward. The real good seedlings will be able to sprout with some nutrition. Many masters are teaching At the same time, he found suitable students, such as Heloise and Amyra back then.

By the way, since both of them used to be the teachers of the academy affiliated with "Blade of Arcana", they are naturally also a member of Blade of Arcane. As far as I know, Heloise is also the core of Sword of Order Members, during the teaching period, dug a lot of corners and switched to the sword of order. Among them, several of them were on the list of natural disasters, and there were more anti-social lunatics. The name of "Professor Devil" is well-deserved.

In fact, because the threshold for becoming a mage is too high, when the conventional inheritance from the father cannot survive in the society of spellcasters, and when the inherited legacy is more about a certain research result and the pursuit of truth, mages The most important thing in today's society is the teacher-student relationship of preaching and teaching.

"Never let the inheritance of the teacher's line be cut off in my generation" every family has the idea. After reaching a certain level, a disciple who can pass on what he has learned and pursued all his life is simply a dream. Of course, the most important inheritance, It is always the pursuit of a certain goal.

Unlike the indifferent master-student relationship in other professions, mages have been getting along for decades or hundreds of years, and the relationship between a good relationship between a direct disciple and a mentor has long been the same as the relationship between father and son, mother and daughter, and even, In the laws of the kingdom of mages, the master has the authority to arrange the lives of the disciples, and the disciples have the obligation to take care of the old master, and also have various inheritance rights like children.

What? Me and Heloise? There is no other line like ours that keeps going up and down as if under a curse!

At this time, I was having a headache about how to improve my reputation and gain a higher right to speak, but soon, I had to worry about whether my reputation was too loud.

"Sure enough, it was definitely a mistake to bring those bastards with me!" r1152
