The Lord of Ashes

After finalizing the matter of Bose joining the Holy Tower of Dark Fire, Thane introduced him to Kester and other deans of the Holy Tower Academy.

Regarding the recruitment of apprentices from the Ebalut Empire, in order to clear the Holy Tower of Dark Fire as much as possible, none of the Holy Tower magicians were directly involved.

Only after the last apprentice arrives at the border of the Yili Knights Alliance, will the Dark Fire Holy Tower send someone to pick them up.

After Bose joined the Holy Tower, he did not need to return to the Ebalut Empire.

What Thane values ​​more is his connections in the Ebalut Empire and the "downlines" he has developed in the past ten years.

As long as there are enough magic coins to drive profits, I believe those college magicians who have a cooperative relationship with Boss will still "help".

There is no way, who knows that most of the academy magicians in the Ebalut Empire are poor people.

Thain just provided them with a side job.

Boss, who is responsible for the student recruitment in the north, has seen his personal income drop by a fraction of his boss since he was blacklisted by major colleges in the Abarut Empire.

Including the loan of nearly a thousand magic coins that he compensated for the Second Magic Academy in France, this guy's desire to make money is extremely strong now.

But despite this, Bowes is also a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice.

After trying his best to contact the college magicians he was familiar with in the north, Boss regretfully told the deans such as Thain and Kester that because of the recent limelight, the college magicians he was familiar with did not dare to cause trouble.

"As I say, just do your best."

"In addition to the original academic magicians in the southern part of the empire, I suggest that you visit the many provinces in the western part of the empire." Thain said to Boss.

"I'll try my best, but I don't know anyone there." Boss said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s eaten too much fat in recent years, but this guy Baos always breaks out in sweats.

"If you go and get in touch, won't you get to know each other?"

"I believe in your ability." Thain encouraged.

…

After sending away Boss, Thain also exchanged opinions with Kester on the issue of apprentice recruitment.

The recruitment of civilian apprentices within the area radiated by the Holy Tower of Dark Fire’s power had already started a few years ago.

It's just that the efficiency has not been high because there are too few qualified civilian apprentices.

The knights of the wizarding civilization attach great importance to blood, and it makes sense that magicians have also developed knowledge disciplines such as "Genesis" and "Genealogy".

Generally speaking, humans in the wizarding world who have magician qualifications have a higher probability of having offspring that are qualified to learn magic.

On the contrary, for a civilian family that has not produced a magician for more than ten or even dozens of generations, whether a person with initial spiritual power can emerge depends on genetic mutation.

This is why noble families often choose to marry other nobles.

The love between aristocrats and commoner girls that exists in the novel is purely deceptive.

Even the vast majority of aristocratic young people simply look down on the daughters of common people who have rough skin and have been engaged in labor work since childhood.

If a common girl is really lucky enough to be chosen by a noble, it will be a good thing for her entire family.

All classes in the wizarding world are actually separated and distinct.

It is really difficult to dig out a few high-quality apprentice seeds in the barren land of the civilian class.

‏​​‎​‏‎‏‏‎‎​‏‏‎‎

I don’t know how many years or how many people it takes for a genius like Green to emerge.

Thain can't pin his hopes on illusory luck.

The apprenticeship recruitment issue he discussed with Dean Kester this time was mainly about lowering the apprenticeship recruitment standards.

"An initial mental strength value of more than ten points has helped us screen out 99% of civilian children of school age. I think we should lower the standard appropriately."

"You and I both know that the so-called initial mental strength value is not an absolute factor in measuring whether a child has the qualifications to learn magic."

"It's just that a higher value of initial mental power will make it easier for them to learn magic, and the minds of these children will also be smarter."

"Elemental affinity and body's compatibility with magic, etc., are among the admissions criteria of major Holy Tower colleges."

"But these standards are not as important as initial mental strength."

"I also acknowledge the importance of initial mental strength, but I believe that through acquired learning and hard work, as long as these little guys can put in enough sweat, they will have a chance to become successful." Thain looked into Kester's eyes and said. .

As a magician who first came out of the Black Magic Academy, Thane has always had some cognitive differences with traditional magicians.

For example, Thane knew that at the Black Magic Academy in Mensobra City, not even one-tenth of the new apprentices admitted each year had a mental power of 10 or more and passed the exam.

Most of the other apprentices are civilian children with less than 10 points of spiritual power.

After all, as black magicians, it is impossible for them to rob children of noble families on a large scale.

Thain's appearance in the underground world was a complete accident. For black magicians, an apprentice is considered qualified if his initial spiritual power is above 8 points.

In some extremely difficult years, because they cannot find enough suitable apprentices, these black magicians will even lower the initial spiritual power standard to 6 points!

I have to admit that the initial mental strength of 6 to 8 points is the average value for most human children in the wizarding world.

And with the energy of the Holy Tower of Dark Fire, there is no need to pick up those low-level apprentices with 6 points of spiritual power. Just relaxing the standard to 8 points is enough to maintain the needs of the academy for a period of time.

Moreover, Thane concluded from personal experience that the average combat ability of the batch of apprentices born at the Black Magic Academy in Mensobra City far exceeded the "flowers in the greenhouse" trained by the Holy Tower Academy.

Even under the high-pressure policies and precarious learning atmosphere of the Black Magic Academy, the learning and cultivation speed of magic apprentices with only a few points of initial mental power was not inferior to those of geniuses with more than ten points. ‏​​‎​‏‎‏‏‎‎​‏‏‎‎

Some even go beyond that!

People are forced out.

Thane could not apply the bloody apprentice selection strategy of the Black Magic Academy in Mensobra City to the Holy Tower of Dark Fire today.

However, he can learn from it appropriately and absorb the rules of survival of the fittest.

Originally, Thain had already made plans in this regard. Now that he has been promoted to level three, the time for him to carry him around is also a little looser.

In addition to maintaining daily experiments, Thane is also preparing to launch his drastic reform of the Dark Fire Holy Tower Academy.

Before the reform, Thain must first obtain the support of Kester, another principal dean.

Kester didn't know Thain's true inner thoughts.

After carefully considering the lowering of apprentice enrollment standards mentioned by Thane, the third-level great magician pondered for a long time and finally nodded in agreement.

"I once saw in an ancient book that before our wizard civilization is promoted to the top civilization, the initial mental strength recruitment standard for magic apprentices is not as high as 10 points."

"It's just that with the development of the times and the continuous progress of our civilization, under the premise of the overall evolution of all creatures in the plane, our standards are also improving accordingly."

"In ancient times and ancient times, our wizarding world also had a large number of first-level and above magicians and even fourth-level and above magicians."

"I don't believe in these sages and powerful men. Their initial spiritual power in the apprenticeship stage is all above 10 points."

"So, I agree with your suggestion." Kester said with an extremely enlightened smile.

The more contact Kester has with Thane, the more he discovers that this young magician can bring him more surprises and surprises.
