Starry Sky of the Magic Tower

For the content of the contract drawn up by Lin, Juan Javier indifferent expression. In other words, without asking privately, don’t raise too many questions purely for opposition in public. This will hurt the authority of a certain magician who is responsible for management. This is a taboo thing in the magician world. Unless the person who proposed it deliberately dismantle the platform.

But this does not mean that Juan has no doubts. From the moment he pinched this piece of paper, he had a question: “Isn’t this a magic contract?”

“The so-called agreement is used to make people break. If you don’t keep the agreement, even if there are gods and The devil also witnessed that when an agreement should be broken, it will still be broken. If you keep the agreement, even if it is a verbal agreement, it will be implemented without discount. Besides, it has been less than a year since the Academy was founded, and many things may still happen. There are changes. There is no room for change when using the magic contract.”

In the ancient times of Earth, the performance of the contract had to rely on the guarantee of the government. The most guaranteed form of contract in Midi World is to follow the magic contract, which is bound by the souls of both parties and promises the other party that they will abide by the agreed content. But if you make a magic contract, there is no possibility to modify it.

So before signing the magic contract, you need to be cautious and cautious. At the same time, you must carefully study the words and words. Any negligence may lead to loss of life, or the entire contract moved towards a completely different direction to be executed.

But the contract in front of me only used ordinary materials. Several big children thought to themselves that perhaps another big reason for not using magic contracts is that magic materials are too expensive.

In any case, it is not unacceptable to become an official magician and serve the Academy for two years after completing your studies. Even most children believe that the Academy really wants to cultivate them. The gratuitous service is too frightening to accept.

After giving everyone a little time to read the content of the contract, Lin asked, “If you have any questions, you can ask them. The Academy was initiated, and everything is still not settled. So everyone thinks there are doubts. , Or shortcomings, can be brought up for discussion.”

At this time, a child timidly raised his hand and asked: “My lord, if we want to leave due to other factors, please ?”

“This is a term for the termination of the contract, and it is mentioned in the last paragraph. Maybe a magician is willing to accept you as a personal dísciple, so he will leave the Academy ; Or maybe there are other places to stop studying at the Academy. No matter what the reason is, Academy will not refuse, but you must pay the tuition fees payable during the Academy. Originally, this fee was after you graduated , Replaced by two years of service time. Since I want to leave Academy early, naturally there will be no two years of service time, so I want to exchange the tuition fee during the payment period is reasonable. What do you think?”

The child who asked the question is nodded and has no comments. At this time, another child raised his hand and asked: “My lord, what is the tuition fee you mentioned?”

Opened a magnified water mirror screen to show all and the Academy Account books related to receipts and payments. Because it uses a new-style digital record, it is not only divided into categories, but also income and expenditure columns. It is obvious at a glance for everyone who has learned mathematics. In addition to the various decorations of the Academy, the incense, ointments, candles and other things used in the meditation ceremony, there are also clothes, equipment, and daily food for each apprentice. Of course, the fixed expenditure also includes the salary of each faculty member.

The income part is how many apprentices come out to help maintain order, and various sorting and after-care activities on each lecture night. All in all, the Academy’s revenue and expenditure are red-to-toned deficits, which is very dazzling. Of course, in the mystery where loans and deferred payments are not popular, most of the payments are made by forests with private property. The subsidy, which should come from the Charlie Richard Fund, is nothing.

As long as everyone has browsed it briefly, Lin said: “This is the various expenses and income of the monarchs in the past four months. As long as you perform additional service behaviors that are not related to your own studies, You will get the corresponding reward. Of course, this amount will be slightly lower than the amount you receive from the tasks you receive on your own. In the future, if you need to ask you to help the Academy in the deployment of potions, or forging artifacts, it will also be handled accordingly. These costs, For the time being, it is subsidies into your daily expenses, how to arrange in the future, and there is room for discussion. In short, after all your expenses for these four months, I tentatively set the tuition fee for CCC Kiel (300 gold) every six months.”

Hearing such numbers, the people below have completely different reactions. Juan Javier heard that eyes shined and said, “It’s so cheap.” But when the child underneath heard it, his face turned blue in shock and said, “It’s so expensive!”

Yes. With the polarized reaction, Lin just shrugged meaninglessly. Every month, the magician association subsidizes each apprentice for about 20 to 70 gold, depending on the rank of the apprentice. The maximum subsidy for half a year is up to 420 gold. Of course, this fee will not be used entirely on the apprentices, but for the teachers of the apprentices, which are arranged by the official magicians of the apprentices.

That amount can actually be regarded as the association’s tuition and remuneration to magicians for the various expenses of apprentices. It is precisely because of this fee that there is a limited number of years for apprentices, that is, three years for the first ring, three years for the second ring, and four years for the third ring.

For half a year, 300 gold is a very cheap cost for training a magic apprentice. Of course, you really need to calculate carefully. This 300 gold is completely used for apprentices. Most of the subsidies of the association are the magicians who laughed at it. Only if there is some change left, it is possible to spend on apprentices. So the two should not mention on equal terms, but how can people who are lost understand these.

But what is the concept of 300 gold for the big kids coming out of the small village? I Kiel (1 gold) can buy half-year-old coarse grains for a family of four, and 300 gold means that I can spend my whole life without working and eat coarse grains until I die of old age. Or you can buy some prodigal gadgets, or you can ask a wife as a decent dowry. In short, it was an unimaginable amount of money.

For the different minds of the two groups of people, Lin did not mean to discriminate against each other. This is a matter of horizon, which limits people’s imagination and has nothing to do with right or wrong.

For Lin, even if this group of children are not the kind of noble people who are spoiled and ignorant of human suffering, they will not have much social experience in terms of age. Before coming to Wulian City, they were all living in the valley where they were expected to live for the rest of their lives, so it is normal for them not to have much knowledge.

To make a contract or something, especially Lin made the terms in accordance with Earth’s legal standards. Of course, I am not a legal professional, and there is no printer in Midi, so the content of the contract is still discounted and then discounted, which can be solved by compressing it within a piece of paper. If you follow Earth’s standards and don’t list a thick book with various overlord clauses or traps in it, then you can still call it a contract.

But even so, there is a lot of weight written on that piece of paper, for those who are lost. However, this group of children didn’t think twice. After reading them back and forth, several older children took out their pens and filled in their own names. The younger group of children who had little opinion, saw someone sign it, and they followed in to fill in their own names.

The reason for them to sign their names on the contract with confidence is not only that this is not a very binding magic contract. It is also because today that all the results of the first-level apprenticeship appraisal have been passed, everyone believes that in this Academy, they can achieve their expectations of coming to the Five Union City, rather than being disappointed or desperate.

As for four years, will it be difficult to become a magician? Apprentices are promoted to magician. As long as the innate talent passes the level, unlike Lin and other masters and disciples who belong to the lowest level of magic innate talent, about five to six years is enough. And this time is based on traditional teaching methods.

Generally speaking, the magician’s way to lead an apprentice is to throw an introductory book for the other person to study on their own. Apprentices need to spend a lot of time for magician services, including washing, cooking, and cleaning. Apprentices with brilliant points also need to refine potions, cast and smelt them. They may just lay hands, or they may come by themselves if they are more skilled, and then sell them under the name of magician. Sometimes there is even night service.

After you have to deal with this big and small chores, the remaining time will be the time for self-learning magic. If you have any questions about learning magic, of course you can ask your own teacher. But if you ask if you will get an answer, it depends on your feelings. Of course, the identity and background of the person asking the question still matters. It is normal to not get a word of advice for three to five days.

Under this traditional teaching method, it takes five to six years to become a magician. Under the intensive teaching of the Academy, it will not be too difficult to achieve a master in four years. As long as the innate talent is not too bad, shortening the time will not be a problem.

There is such confidence because of the apprentice-level magic of the mysterious world, which is really simple. Two girls, Hallumi and Kaya, the most important reason why they can’t progress fast is still limited by magic innate talent, which is the accumulation of power.

Academy children do not have this level. For them, the difficulty lies in the understanding of construction magic, including various theories and methods. And these things are constantly listening and practicing in every day of teaching.

If Lin were to use the conditions of Earth as a metaphor, then learning magic in the maze would be like learning to ride a bicycle, drive a car, or even larger vehicles or construction machinery in Earth. It is actually very simple to let the machinery and vehicles go. The accelerator will step on and the steering wheel will turn.
