The Truth of Magic

Chapter 121 Lecture on Transformation

The next day, after Zhao Xu prepared some spells for reading magic, he went to the academic forum in Floating Void City to listen to lectures.

Generally speaking, after the novice mages in the floating city complete their graduation, whether they are Arthur residents or players, many who take the research route will find a mentor to do magic research together.

The instructor gives the novice mages learning resources, while the novice mages serve as a research workforce, researching the sub-sections of the subject for the instructor. This complementary relationship has always been the norm in the Floating Void City.

Only mages who have climbed to the middle-level backbone level are eligible to apply for research sites in the floating city to serve as subject tutors, and their number of assistants is also limited.

Once those first-level mages who have successfully graduated cannot find a way or have no assistant qualifications, they will basically be left within three months, and the same is true for the player group.

Zhao Xu could still see a lot of players coming in and out in the first month, and in three more months, the number of players would be at least half less, and this had to be counted as new additions.

This kind of situation where the senior mages drive the middle-level backbone mages, and the middle-level backbone mages drive the novice mages, also constitutes the pyramid of the floating city, and the vague mage family forces behind it are two lines of light and darkness.

Only Zhao Xu, who has a tutor who automatically comes to train on the first day, can not worry about which route to take after the training is completed, what topics to specialize in, and how to recommend himself.

The lectures on the academic forum are the benefits given by the headquarters of the association to all the resident mages of the floating city.

Basically, every day, the association arranges some senior and even legendary mages to give lectures in academic forums based on their research, to impart ideas, and to verify ideas in disguise.

The private lessons that Antinoya arranged for Zhao Xu were usually in the afternoon or night, and he left him to study in the morning.

Zhao Xu looked at the lecture schedule of Floating Void City and noticed that there was a lecture on "transformation spells" this morning, so he came here early.

Although he had experienced a ninth-level transformation spell "shape change" the day before yesterday, he still had a lot of details to understand.

He's always wondered what state he was in.

Transformed into the Servant of the Blazing Heaven, he regained the mentality of a warrior in his previous life at that moment, as if he was on the battlefield, only thinking of wielding his weapon to slaughter all the enemies.

At that moment, Zhao Xu was equivalent to driving a full-level account.

Zhao Xu was somewhat fascinated by this magical ability.

Especially when he is at level 3, he will be exposed to the second level of arcane transformation.

Although he is not a specialized mage but a generalist mage, the number of high-level spells is not less than that of level 1 spells, so he needs to understand it before he can distinguish the key points.

Antinoya rarely made any decisions about the selection of spells, and mostly let him develop wildly.

"Ticket?" The waiter standing at the door respectfully asked Zhao Xu who was walking up.

Compared with those sorcerers who were still apprentices, people like Zhao Xu who had been promoted to level 1 sorcerers had already entered the power class, although they were only at the bottom of the power class.

Zhao Xu suddenly became embarrassed. He actually forgot about it.

Lectures in academic forums often involve discussion environments, and many senior mages don't like scenes that are too lively.

Many times, some popular lectures will use the model of ticket distribution.

When Zhao Xu was an apprentice, Antinoya screened him a list of lectures for him to attend, and ordered some tickets that he needed.

Hearing the other party's question, Zhao Xu remembered that he had forgotten that this lecture was quite popular and tickets were required.

It's just that now he goes to the Association Affairs Office to apply for a ticket, and then rushes back, it will take more than half an hour.

"Excuse me, Mr. Mage, please come in." At this time, a middle-aged man with the appearance of an apprentice in a robe had just walked to the door. He noticed that Zhao Xu, who was wearing a silver-framed badge, was actually stopped, and said hastily. .

Zhao Xu saw the silver plaque on the chest of the famous sorcerer, which was marked with logistics management, and understood that the other party was the organizer of this lecture.

Since the other party went in directly, Zhao Xu didn't say much, but he understood something in his heart.

And the middle-aged apprentice squinted his eyes, pretended not to care, and after glancing at Zhao Xu's badge, he said enthusiastically, "Master Zhongxia, hello, those seats without numbers are all mobile and you can sit there, I'll take you in first." .”

Zhao Xu was not used to warm hospitality either, so he waved his hands quickly.

Just like when he went to a certain Di Lao to eat hot pot, he only asked the waiter to leave him alone.

And the middle-aged apprentice kept paying attention to Zhao Xu until the other party's figure completely disappeared behind the bustling crowd in the pulpit.

He just turned around and glared at the two waiters who had just stopped Zhao Xu: "Didn't I tell you that anyone with a sign on the back of the mage's badge is a privileged class that cannot be stopped. Those who don't have numbers on this forum The seats are set up for them, and they would rather leave them empty than distribute tickets."

At this time, a younger waitress who was reprimanded protested in a low voice: "Director, didn't you say that you can't stop those with gold-edged chips on the back of the badge, but this mage is obviously silver-edged, shouldn't it be lower?" what?"

"You still dare to talk back, open your eyes and see, it's mithril! It's worth more than gold! It means that it's a level above the gold-edged badge. Your distant uncle's mage only got involved with the floating city instructor last month. position, his badge is made to be a silver-edged chip, you know."  

There are many academic forums in the Floating Void City, which are basically arranged according to the theme of the lectures. Some academic forums even have a table full of alchemy equipment in one place, so that they can experiment together.

The layout of Zhao Xulai's academic forum was similar to that of the previous awakening hall. It was like a movie theater, with the seats at the back getting taller and taller, and the front podium was equipped with a wide whiteboard.

Most of the seats in the forum were already filled with people in advance. The speaker today was a nine-ring mage, and many new mages of one or two levels, as long as they could grab a ticket, they all came to the venue to get acquainted.

Naturally, they didn't dare to look forward to being able to worship Master Nine Rings, but they couldn't resist the fact that Master Nine Rings had many disciples. As long as he looked at him, there would naturally be disciples who came to recruit the first-level mage who was appreciated at the meeting as his assistant. .

Zhao Xu didn't pay much attention. When he saw that the soft chairs with large backs in the first row had no numbers and belonged to him, he went straight up and sat down.

As time progressed, the entire venue was gradually filled from 70% to 80% to completely full.

At this time, a fat mage who was sweating from walking hurriedly rushed into the venue. Before he could catch his breath, he found that the entire hall was almost full of seats. According to his figure, the ordinary seats could not be crowded at all.

He quickly turned his gaze to the unmarked seats. Sometimes confused novice mages would take these seats by mistake, but because these seats themselves are not full, there are not many mistakes.

It's just that the extremely arrogant fat mage just glanced up from the first row of seats.

Can't afford it, can't afford it, can't afford it, can't afford it...

The fat mage scanned the entire row, and they were all seven or eight ring mages who could hang him up and beat him, so he was directly classified into the rank of untouchables.

Um?

Fat mage counted to the end and saw Zhao Xu with a strange expression on his face.

Can you afford it?

When he thought for a while about which giant's descendant he was, he found that the standard robe that Zhao Xu had just changed had a mark representing a ring of mages pinned to it.

It is also this obvious mark that makes many level 1 mages prefer to customize a new set of robes themselves, rather than wear the unified standard robes that the floating city distributes for free.

But the fat mage was overjoyed, how about the descendants of the giants, shouldn't the low-level mages give way to the high-level mages, after all, his family can be ranked among the top 100 mage families in the floating city.

"Little -" the fat sorcerer who approached spoke to Zhao Xu, but couldn't spit out the next few words.

He saw Zhao Xu's mage badge with the mithril chip.

A burst of cold sweat trickled down his back.

"Well, what's the matter?"

Just as the lecture was about to begin, Zhao Xu found a mage as fat as a mountain standing in front of him, so he couldn't help asking curiously.

"Oh, it's nothing, Mr. Zhong Xia, I suddenly fell in love with you at first sight, don't you mind if I sit next to you and feel your majesty?"

The fat mage Lynch smiled obsequiously, and took out a folding stool from his storage bag.

It's not that the fat sorcerer can't conjure a comfortable stool, it's just that there are so many senior sorcerers present, and even Zhao Xu's two seats are far away, and there are two great powers of spells and transformations sitting respectively.

Fat Lynch naturally didn't dare to play tricks, and if he was accidentally pointed out, he would have to submit a project report later.

Zhao Xu thought to himself that he hadn't nodded yet, who knew that the fat man just sat down.

"Mr. Zhong Xia, hello, my name is Lynch, Master of the Five Rings." The fat mage introduced himself, showing his bright white teeth.

At the same time, he couldn't help shaking his chest, moving his somewhat oily badge, causing the five rings to start interlacing.

Zhao Xu had no choice but to turn sideways and nodded, "Zhong Xia, a first-level mage."

"I don't know who your apprentice is, little brother. Could it be the Master Nuoqi who gave the lecture today? I heard that he made a low-level simulation spell last month. With low-level spells, he can reproduce an extremely simulated person." Come?" The fat mage Lin Qi saw that Zhao Xu didn't object to communicating with him, so he hit the snake with the stick and asked while showing a rippling smile.

At a young age, Zhao Xu sat here with a badge with a mithril chip pinned on it. This incident made him, who claimed to be the number one information transfer station in Floating Void City, extremely curious.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he frowned slightly, and asked curiously, "Why are all the male mages I met as optimistic as you?"

Leian counts as one, Master En and Master En counts as half, this fat man is probably one and a half——

A funny guy.

"Hey, it's very tiring to do magic research. If you're not cheerful, it's easy to be autistic." Fat Lynch laughed, and the flesh on his face was piled up.

Just at this time, Master Nuoqi, who was the instructor of this lecture, walked in from the main entrance of the forum.

The originally noisy hall also fell silent.

Nuo Qi's appearance looks to be less than fifty years old, with angry eyebrows, and looks completely difficult to get along with.

At this time, he walked behind the podium and slightly adjusted the sound aid in front of the podium, while the golems, invisible servants, and even the waiters were already standing by the side.

"Yesterday, the association temporarily notified me to hold this lecture. The time was too urgent. I forgot to tell the association. But it's not too late. Please go out if you have an intelligence below 17. You are wasting your time here."
