Chapter 105 White Tower Standard Apprenticeship Agreement

Momolo found a pair of glasses from nowhere and put them on his face.That book gave him a sort of gentle scholarly air, but his radiant and happy expression greatly undermined his sense of calm.

"Study time!" he announced loudly.

So Luo Binhan pulled out "Starlight World" from the bookshelf after a long absence.Under the guidance of Momolo, he silently read the word "White Tower" to the catalog, and the relevant results quickly appeared in front of his eyes.

The dense number of entries made Luo Binhan dizzy, including the names of many people who were immediately known to be the Master of the White Tower, various devices with unknown functions, and even the introduction of several types of food.

Momolo opened a summary entry for him, which generally introduced the main schools and bases of the White Tower.As the largest pan-law group in the alliance, this organization is parallel to the "Top Ten" in status, and is mainly responsible for coordinating and cooperating with the alliance's policies on the side of the law within the alliance, and promoting the common development of the second-class civilization.According to tradition, its highest internal decision-making power rotates among several well-known schools of magic, and the result is handed over to the school called "Secret League".The decision-making of the modern White Tower is mostly discussed by the top mages of various genres, and the person in charge of the external affairs maintains communication with "October".The current official spokesperson of Central City is Bingwen · Yinhui of the Tower of Silverlight.

Luo Binhan read several paragraphs one after another, and felt that the expositions on the classification of spells were difficult and boring.So he put down "Starlight Realm" and searched for related content in "Xunqu" and "Jingwei".Sure enough, both books mention the White Tower, but the themes are quite different. The article in Jingwei is a discussion about dressing:

About the color of mage robes
In the past traditions, people believed that the color of the mage's robes showed their position and strength, and based on this premise, a variety of legends based on prototype adaptations or pure imagination were derived.Famous cases include the "Great Necromancer Du Fujia" who always wears black robes, and the "White Robe Great Sage" who is powerful and proficient in sacred spells.Such a cognitive culture is so prevalent that variants of it can be seen on the most remote planetary planes of the Alliance.This also often makes the residents of the rational world full of doubts: Does color have some special value of special importance to mages?Is it also an essential part of the complex ritual leading to the source of the mystery?

However, the answer is likely to be no.We don't know whether the dress style has any influence on the more secretive, introverted, and reclusive ancient lawmen, but a vigorous anti-robe discrimination movement is rapidly spreading among the new generation of mages in the White Tower.They hated the clothing color requirements in the old tradition, and pointed out that many primitive civilizations did not use black as a negative or death symbol when they were born. Using clothing colors to strengthen such concepts is forcing them to accept the cultural traditions of superior civilizations , That undoubtedly violates the alliance's protection treaty and spirit of equality for weaker civilizations.In order to help the public break this stereotyped cognition, more mages have begun to break traditional dressing habits, or wear colored mage robes mixed with multiple colors as an expression of their own political opinions...

Luo Binhan hurriedly grabbed a candy flower and stuffed it into his mouth, then threw away "Jingwei" and opened "Xunqu".The above article is somewhat related to his confusion, it seems to be reviewing the history of apprenticeship.

...At the same time, most mage organizations and departments are still implementing the apprenticeship system based on the customary law of personal attachment, during which there are various unnecessary corporal punishment and fraudulent homework.This kind of schooling rules, which is similar to slavery, formed a strong contrast with the joyful and prosperous period of magic technology called "prosperous age".

The difficulties faced by apprentices may then be worse than those faced by any minority in a cluster society.Although in the era of about 137 counting units around 51-32 of the Confederation Convention calendar, this kind of personal subordination rule similar to slavery has been abolished in the Torreel celestial wall system and around the sugar-rich Durandian sovereign area, and is being more and more The "civilized" system of employment (i.e., very primitive apprenticeship agreements) took its place, but it still existed on a large scale in the Athas Skywall and Gate City, which at that time was still populated by a large number of primitive spellcasters.Slave ships haunt the ports of Gate City cowering at the ebb and flow of the tide, selling everything from pan-Homo sapiens to stoneheart hatchlings.Also often appearing in the port of the Gate City, the Atas Tianbi District leader endorsement ship mostly carries and replaces a large number of young apprentices. They are promised to learn wave manipulation and mysterious skills, but most of them cannot live to adulthood, and they will not survive until about 1 In the life cycle of /3, I only understand how to bake the lord's special bread.

... In the next calendar counting unit of the Convention, the Witch King's civil war in Atas Tianbi District reached its peak, liberating a terrifying number of family apprentices in disguise.At the beginning of the civil war, they transferred the missionary rights of the two star layers to the nearby Pheronian pantheon (the territory is mostly based on the main star layer of the Torreel Skywall system), in exchange for the sharing rights of the three secondary elemental planes.The Elemental Plane of Earth immediately became a strategic location, a rocky and sturdy button embedded in the main astral plane of the Athas Skywall region.The wars surrounding its ownership are countless, and the war potential of the Atas Skywall area has been exhausted in a disguised form, so that when faced with the army of stone heart incubators who came after the abducted cubs in the later stage, Atas The Sorcerer Kings are as weak as infants.

...Turn your gaze back to the Pheronian pantheon under the Toriel sky wall area.The Pheronian pantheon deified magic technology, and therefore required as many mages as possible to be directly subordinate to the goddess of magic, instead of enslaving each other layer by layer.Toriel took the lead in abolishing the apprenticeship system similar to slavery in the native land and its colonies, but included the territories that still followed this system, which caused a lot of oracle and legal confusion.It wasn't until the Year of Sprout in Torreel's Skywall that these conflicts were largely remedied, and apprentice slaves could now at least appear in the local courts and be freed - but first they had to prove they were capable of self-sufficiency and rising , and continue to honor the goddess of magic of the Pheronian pantheon.Many therefore preferred to remain apprentices, for they had a room, a garden to share, and a few days of liberty, than to be "driven by the stinking whip, and destroy their foundations in desperation." .One apprentice complained upon hearing of his freedom: "I will not leave my master. He rescued me from the halfling shaman and treated me like a son, giving me food, clothes and everything."

And on lush Pemba, the mandrake gardens are still tended by apprentices.When the mandrake buds were ripe, a large group of apprentices were driven into the garden to dig out the crying mandrake roots from the ground, and put them in soundproof baskets they hand-woven and enchanted to give to their mentors.There have been countless cases of conspiracy surrounding the herb.An apprentice once tampered with the soundproof basket, making the enchanted handle very fragile.When his mentor lifted the rattan basket full of harvest, the handle broke immediately, and the deadly cry of the mandrake resounded through the sky, killing 32 low-level red robes present.

Luo Binhan shook his head, and put "Xunqu" aside.He felt that he had read enough about the apprentice's story, so he picked up "Starlight World" again and wanted to check other contents.

He first searched for "law of covenant", and the entry that appeared was explained as follows:
"Consciousness-law" is one of the civilization classification methods currently used by the alliance. The intellectual side is also called "first-class civilization", and the legal side is "second-class civilization".At first, the core basis of this classification method was "whether a set of rational cognitive methods and scientific research systems are used as the driving force for the development of civilization".However, with the continuous increase of "universal knowledge" and "universal law" types of civilizations, the definition boundary of this taxonomy is becoming increasingly blurred.And when Yuan theory and many related theoretical models emerged, the binary construction of "pure theory-ancient testament" that was considered to be absolutely stable in the past also faced unprecedented challenges.A large number of scholars have begun to believe that this classification is actually not based on objective facts, but contains some exclusionary thoughts of a certain civilization, at least it can only be regarded as a social classification based on traditional experience rather than objective facts.

"As for making it so troublesome?" Luo Binhan said to Momolo.

"This is a very complicated political issue, Mr. Luo."

Luo Binhan stared at Mo Moluo's harmless expression, suspecting that he didn't really understand Momoluo.

He started searching for "dragon" again, and found that the number of entries related to it was no less than that of "White Tower".Most of them are introductions to pan-scaled creatures such as sub-dragons, pseudo-dragons, dragonmen, etc., while the entry of "true dragon" is very concise and to the point, if you say "a kind of intelligent and powerful ancient law creature" .

Finally, he finally found a very inconspicuous short entry in the cultural classification:

化龙
A method of appellation that exists within the ancient covenant law, used to refer to some specific, non-race creatures that often have a special status.It is still unclear what judging rules are followed for the use of this title, but the creatures (or bio-like phenomena) that receive this title are all extremely destructive, and have a strong and dangerous sense of hostility to rational civilization.

The entry itself ends here, but links to related concepts follow.Luo Binhan casually scanned it, and found that there was actually the "Curse of the White River" mentioned by Jing Huang.

He immediately clicked on the entry, which read:
A kind of "curse of transforming dragon" that is said to exist in the territory of Wuyuan, based on the social relationship of the dragon transforming, correspondingly produces a highly dangerous reduction phenomenon, its authenticity and principle are still unknown.There are two legal side descriptions about the curse:

"Son kills father, apprentice kills teacher, brothers kill each other."

"One person becomes a dragon, and the rest of the family members are crazy."

Luo Binhan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.He remembered that he didn't call home before he ascended to heaven, and now his mother may be more crazy than a dragon.
