“After that, there comes the theory of servants’ ethnicity. Servants of certain races will evolve from one or a few to a large group, an army, or even a plane under special circumstances. ”

Seeing this, Su Ye was shocked. Summoning an army was a true divine spell. But he had never heard of a plane.

“There is another point of view on this theory of servants’ ethnicity. If mages’ summoning spells of every level include this kind of servant, then the possibility of the servant evolving greatly increases.”

“However, both gifted servants or servants of a special race do not only take a long time to form, and they are also very rare. To summon a servant requires the complete remains of a designated servant, and this increases the difficulty. In theory, the most perfect servant has innate abilities and the ability to evolve. Furthermore, it must be a mystical creature, so this kind of servant is known as a ‘miraculous servant’. Of course, there is only an extremely small number of miraculous servants. The possibility to get one is extremely small, so let’s not consider that.”

“The flaming gnome is one of the three types of miraculous servants known to the mages at the apprentice level. The complete remains of the other two types of servants have not been seen for more than fifty years. The current Congress of Magic has a complete flaming gnome remains, and it is the only one known in all of Greece.”

“Mages who ranked lower than Gold Mages cannot get the flaming gnome remains. However, which Gold Mage would get an apprentice servant? Even if they did, how many years of growth would the servant take to acquire a special talent? The most important thing for a Gold Mage was to advance to the Sage-level. Therefore, even though so many people coveted the flaming gnome, no one would really get it.”

“I advise you to use your Mana Core Badge to get the flaming gnome’s remains. It is not to make up for my regret, but to make up for the regret of all mages! If you can guarantee that after becoming a Black Iron Mage, you can guarantee that you will have servants of a special race even if they aren’t Miraculous Servants, you might become the only mage in the world who can summon an army.

“In the past, I didn’t quite believe that you would be able to grow up safely until you became a Legendary Mage. The chances of you being beaten to death by an expert are very high. However, after carefully analyzing your conversation with Cromwell, you were able to act like a Sage Mage, almost fooled even yourself. I’m certain that even if you were ten times more arrogant, you would still have a chance to live to become a Legendary Mage.”

Su Ye couldn’t help but roll his eyes. After talking for so long with a serious attitude, in the end, he still didn’t change at all.

He habitually slandered me!

Rascal!

Su Ye continued to read, feeling extremely embarrassed.

“After reading this, you must have thought of the nickname Broken Chair gave me. That’s slander. In order to avoid affecting the friendship between a teacher and a student, you must quickly forget it.”

“The long-term use of the flaming gnome is to give you a new fire talent and form a small team of servants. The short-term use was also very obvious. The flaming gnomes were magical creatures after all. Their strength was already as strong as that of the strongest apprentice servants, and they could release fire arrows. However, the truly powerful thing was that each of the flaming gnome could self-destruct in the end, and the power was equal to that of the fireball spell. Even if the Black Iron Servants were able to fight the flaming gnomes, they would still end up being severely injured.”

Su Ye was still hesitating until he saw a new magic message.

“Oh right, magical creatures are different from wild beasts. All magical creature servants will receive the support of their master’s Talent Spirit of the same element. If you have a fire talent that the flaming gnome doesn’t have in the future, the flaming gnome would get this talent in the end. Of course, if it only has your talent, it won’t be of any use.”

Su Ye made up his mind. This suited him.

“Do I, Su Ye, look like someone who lacks fire talent?”

“If you are willing to get the remains of the flaming gnome, make a decision as soon as possible. I will directly ask my teacher to apply to the Congress of Magic. Then, the first Mana Core Badge and the remains of the fire gnomes will be sent to you at the same time.”

Su Ye looked at the message and knew that the Mana Core Badge was not a sacrificial item. So, even if he exchanged for the remains of the flaming gnome, he would still be able to obtain an actual item. However, it was stated in the records of the Congress of Magic that once an item was used, it could not be changed. But what was with the only one badge?

“Why only the first one? I should be able to obtain many Mana Core Badges at once, right?” Su Ye sent a message to inquire.

“The efficiency of the Congress of Magic is at most one-tenth that of Plato Academy. Your Mana Core Badges come from four sources: Feynman Techniques, Learning Cone, Map Memorization Techniques, and Record-breakers’ Award.”

“For the Record-breakers’ Award, you have to wait for at least half a year. As for the rewards for the other three new theories, they had to take it slow. If they spent all their time on you, what do you think the others would do? That would definitely incur public anger. For example, the first Mana Core Badge for the Feynman Technique should be relatively fast, because a large number of mages were waiting for the results. If they didn’t pass it as soon as possible, they would make the public angry. However, your Feynman technique is destined to get you at least a badge at the Sage-level. If you want an additional Sage-level Mana Core Badge, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a long time

“Mages have a long lifespan. Masters can easily be over a hundred years old. The oldest mage, Master Thales, is already over two hundred years old. Also, mages will spend more time on themselves. So, you could imagine how low the efficiency of the Congress of Magic would be.”

Su Ye read the magic message twice helplessly.

“I understand. Thank you, Mister Nidern. Oh, right. The president of Plato’s Chamber of Commerce, who has a very long name, is shameless, looks down on people, and is suspected of being a Dragon Tribe’s descendant, has changed his mind again. He is sure that he will cooperate with me. How is the search for the noble?”

After a long while, Nidern replied.

“Remember, don’t speak ill of Lord Hartsock in public, never. Because… everyone is saying it behind his back. As for the noble that the new chamber of commerce needs, I have already some progress. He agrees and is willing to accept 10% of the shares to protect the chamber of commerce. However, he isn’t willing to present himself. After all, the relationship between the academy and the nobles isn’t good. Therefore, everything is under my sole authority.”

“Which noble family is he from?”

“I can’t say.”

“Hero or legend?”

“I can’t say.”

“Forget it, you win. I won’t ask. But, can you at least give me some evidence?”

“Before the day of the contract signing, I’ll ask the other party for the keepsake.”

“Okay. When I have time, I’ll ask Kaerton how is it is going with the search. As long as he finds another noble that he can trust and has two noble families protecting him, I can run the chamber of commerce.”

“If you want to run it, remember to inform the craftsmen of the academy’s chamber of commerce in advance, so that you don’t get flustered when the time comes.”

“Alright. When you have time, bring me to see the legendary Dwarven Workshop. Once I get the green light for the restaurant, we can start mass production. With the influence of the nobles’ restaurant, I believe that our products will be popular throughout Greece and conquer the world.”

“Tomorrow, I will introduce you to the Golden Warrior, Blackbeard, of the Dwarven Workshop. By the way, how would you use your first Mana Core Badge?” Nidern asked.

“Since you have been nagging about it for so long, what else can I do? I will listen to you. I will use my first Mana Core Badge to get the remains of the flaming gnome. If you have time, help me think about what I’d get with the second, third, and fourth badge.” Su Ye replied.

“I feel that you are flaunting your wealth,” Nidern replied.
