Arcane Universe

The carriage stopped in front of the guards. One of Darnell’s entourage to Feng Chou turned over and dismounted, took a stack of papers to the guard booth, and passed the papers in.

The mage apprentice in the sentry box took the paper, looked through it, handed it to the attendant, and waved to the guard at the gate.

Seeing the apprentice’s gesture, the guard pushed open the iron gate.

Leo had been trapped in Underground City for half a year, and his enrollment was cancelled by the Master School. This is why he has to rely on El Chamber of Commerce to return to school. In addition, he is not just an apprentice. Those who can bring guards and attendants into the school require privileges.

The school gate slowly opened, and a carriage and four horse guards stepped into the school gate slowly.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery outside the carriage window, Feng Chou took a deep breath. His future depends on whether he can get what he wants here.

Carriage went along the straight avenue behind the gate more than two hundred meters and then turned into a circular road. This path divides the entire school into two areas, inside and outside, on the inner side of the circular road. It is the functional area of ​​the school, and outside the ring road is the living area of ​​the school.

The living area is actually a large or small villa with a separate yard. In these villas, some of them live in the teachers of the school, and some of the students live in them.

In this mage school, there are not many teachers or students.

In this world, people with an intelligence of 15 can be said to be one in a hundred. The population of the right age that meets this requirement in Antalia County is only three-four hundred people, and among these three-four hundred people, there are The financial resources are also willing to send to the Master School to study, only a very small part, perhaps less than 3%, Feng Chou is one of them.

Among these three-four hundred people, there are probably less than one third, that is, less than a hundred people with an intelligence of more than 20, and those with an intelligence of more than 20 days, if they can learn Opportunities, the chances of becoming a formal mage are quite high. Therefore, some of the richer nobles will subsidize some young people in the territory with a natural intelligence of more than 20 to enter the mage school.

So the students in this school, even if you add some old apprentices for the school and teachers, there are only more than a hundred people.

As for teachers, there are even fewer.

The core of the entire Antalia school is a high-level mage. This high-level mage is the principal of this school and the actual user of the mage tower, but the user, this mage tower actually belongs to In the Antalia county family, the Antalia family also relied on this mage tower to keep this high-level mage, who is said to have a professional level of up to Level 14, in this remote city.

Under this high-level mage, there are six intermediate-level mages. It is said that these six intermediate-level mages can obtain partial access to the mage tower and can do it in the laboratory of the mage tower every month. An experiment, this is a very rare opportunity for an intermediate mage.

Further down, there are more than 30 primary level mages. Most of these mages graduated from the Antalia Master School and were employed by the Master School after graduation.

The functional area of ​​Antalia School is divided into four areas, namely the workshop area, the Commerce District, the teaching area, and the experimental area. These four areas surround the Mage Tower.

There are two alchemy factories in the workshop area, one larger belongs to the Antalia family, and the other smaller belongs to the Principal of the school, the high-level mage.

The teaching area is where the apprentices attend classes.

The teaching of this master school adopts a dual-track system, one of which is open collective teaching. The school stipulates that every instructor must open an open class. Apprentices choose to listen according to their needs. Of course, the courses are not free. The price of each tutor’s public course varies from a dozen to dozens of crowns per session, which can be said to be expensive.

There are not many public classes. There are no more than three sessions a day. Sometimes there is no one. After all, every teacher’s time is precious. They are considered dedicated to one class every week. The time of the class will be staggered so that the apprentices can choose freely.

In addition to open classes, all primary level masters must also bring apprentices. Each primary level master must bring at least four apprentices. The tuition fee charged by each master is different, ranging from a few hundred kronor each year. It can range from several kilograms.

There are more than 30 independent laboratories distributed in the experimental area. The experiments of the wizard are sometimes very dangerous. This danger is not only for outsiders, but actually even more dangerous for the wizard himself. , Therefore, the mage often needs strong protection when doing experiments.

Therefore, the Mage’s laboratory generally has two functions. One is that it must have a protective function, which will not be destroyed by the experiment, and it will not leak the toxic and harmful substances produced in the experiment. The second must have Protect the function of the experimenter, otherwise some dangerous experiments will not be carried out at all, and the Master is not a lunatic, and braves the mortal danger to do experiments all day long.

Most of these independent laboratories are primary level laboratories with complete functions, enough to toss from apprentice to primary level mage, and there are several larger experiments near the mage tower. Room, that is an intermediate laboratory for intermediate mage.

Of course, these laboratories are not free for trial, and the charges are quite high. The primary level laboratories cost 12 krona per hour, and the intermediate Leo doesn’t know the cost. That’s too far away from him.

The Commerce District is a place for masters and apprentices to shop and consume. There are high-end pubs, restaurants, and high-end call girls who provide special services, but this is not the most important one. In the Commerce District The most important shop is the secret technique shop.

This Commerce District is probably the most complete secret technique Commerce District in Antalia County.

There are a full range of various scrolls, including blank scrolls of various levels, a complete range of basic and functional medicines, a wide variety of experiments and alchemy materials, alchemical products…

The customers of these secret technique shops are just dozens of formal mages and more than one hundred apprentices in this school.

Actually, in the entire city of Antalia, the one with the strongest purchasing power is probably this group of mages in this school.

The purchasing power of some old apprentices is not low. Most of the old apprentices in the school work in the alchemy factory in the school. By manipulating alchemy equipment, they produce some basic alchemical products, and the salary is quite good. Some Knights The lords of the lead are incomparable.

As for formal mages, even the lowest Level 1 mages, they only need to bring a few more apprentices, and they can earn several kilograms per year, and these few kilograms are just their most basic income.

A Level 1 mage, as long as he works a little bit, masters the copying technique of general scrolls, or masters the preparation technique of basic medicine, it is not difficult to get tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of kronor in a year.

The income of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of kronor belongs to the personal property of the mage. Unlike a nobleman, a knight can also earn tens of thousands of kronor a year, but it must maintain the prosperity of the territory and maintain The decent family needs money. In the end, a knight with an annual net income of tens of thousands of kronor may end up with only one or two kilograms of funds at his disposal.
