Wizard

　　　　 A long solid wood table, on which quill pens, ink, a few large sheets of parchment, and an opened book are placed messily.

　　 The black tea cup is still steaming, and it emits a fragrance similar to green grass.

　　 The black-maned bear who was crawling in the corner snoozed again. Its noisy purring made the people in the room speak with their throats in order to hear each other.

　　 Dean Barmer, who stood at the window, spoke a little hoarse. He forced a second spell in the Colosseum last time, which caused serious damage to his frail body. He has not fully recovered yet.

"Raymond, the outside world is very vast, and powerful and powerful people control a vast area. It is said that some top wizards can get through other planes and communicate directly with some strange and powerful creatures." Dean Palmer sighed. Drinking the liquid in his cup, he introduced the outside world as he knew it.

　　Because the Black River Valley College is the only place on the west coast that has the ability to test, although it has fallen down here, it still has an influence that ordinary people can't imagine.

　　 In the 80 years since Dean Palmer was in charge of the academy, he personally sent away more than two hundred apprentice wizards, but now there are only a dozen people who can return news.

　　 Most of them lost news within three to five years after leaving, or received their death notice directly.

　　 There are very few people who can become official wizards.

　　 The only remaining people who had feedbacks were the one who was sent aboard by Dean Barmer fifty years ago. He successfully entered the tower and became one of the few famous wizards.

And those who return to the West Coast one after another are basically attacking the formal wizard losers. They do not have the qualifications or the courage to attack the official wizard again, but they are unwilling to stay outside and become servants or wanderers. Full of wounds, return to the West Coast to enjoy a peaceful life here.

Standing at the window, Dean Barmer, who exuded the scent of old age, Raymond frowned. He didn't know how to describe this old man, because in Raymond’s previous impressions, this old man looked very mean. The salute to Raymond’s badge can be seen.

　　 But when Raymond came to Black River Valley College yesterday, the old man's impression of Raymond changed a lot.

　　 sighing, nostalgic, with the usual nagging of old people, his expression has become more gentle, and his tone is very respectful. When mentioning the name of Raymond, he will use honorifics.

　　 chatted casually, but as the black mane bear snored louder and louder, Dean Barmer finally couldn't bear this kind of throaty communication method.

　　 He led Raymond to the teaching area of ​​the castle, and sighed with regret. "When you get older, you will have more emotions. Let me take you to visit the Black River Valley College and take a look at the young people who will board the boat with you. You will be leaving in three months."

　　 The castle located in the center of the college is the teaching area of ​​the Black River Valley College. Raymond, who followed Dean Barmer, was led by Dean Barmer to see the teenagers who were learning meditation symbols in the room.

　　 are basically teenagers, all of them sitting in the classroom are serious, and there is a book of wizards spread out in front of everyone.

　　In addition to the Black River Valley College, which has only five teachers including Dean Barmer, there are only five people who have the qualifications to board the ship after three months.

Two have family heritage and are descendants of the royal family of the Kingdom of Ogaso. The other three were sent here when they were young. After hard work, they reached the first-level apprentice. These five people are all arranged on the top of the castle. , Carrying on daily learning.

　　 Black River Valley College has a history of hundreds of years on the west coast, but the teaching facilities here are still rudimentary.

　　 Hundreds of books of wizards produced by formal wizards, some explanations on wizard meditation techniques, and then the magic techniques mastered by teachers will be taught to these teenagers.

　　Because meditation takes up a lot of time, these teenagers who are studying in the academy are very pale and their bodies appear weak.

　　 After leading Raymond to visit the teaching area, Dean Barmer took Raymond to the library of Heihe Valley College.

　　 Located in the library under the castle, dozens of rows of tall bookshelves are mostly empty. There are only dozens of books on display. Raimon, who was very surprised, couldn't help but ask why.

Some ashamed Dean Barmer told Raymond that because of a fire in the castle three hundred years ago, Heihe Valley College’s collection of books for many years was destroyed. In the absence of a supply channel for books, the entire Heihe Valley College There are only so many books left in his collection.

　　 Facing these books, Raymond's desire to read it was irrepressible. "Dean Barmer, because I have been taught by teachers for a long time, I hope to refer to the collection of books in the college."

　　 very readily agreed to Raymond’s request. Dean Barmer also specifically told Raymond that the book collections here are of a more theoretical nature, but the conclusions in many books require personal judgment.

　　 Maybe the skills in a book are of great help to the research reader, but perhaps the same book will cause serious harm to another research reader for the small flaws in it. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

　　 Therefore, all books on theories can only be used as references without being clearly verified as suitable for them.

　　There are countless wizards with development possibilities, and each of them understands differently. Therefore, for wizards, there has never been a completely correct theory, only whether it is suitable for the individual.

After listening to Dean Barmer’s kind warning, the frowning Raymond understood that although the creature like the wizard possesses great power and knowledge, it can even have an almost unlimited life span. There are also great risks in the learning process.

　　 Maybe a small technique that hasn't been proven to be useful for the individual can get people into trouble.

"Raymond, even a wizard apprentice, cannot be judged according to the thinking of ordinary people, because all those who set foot on the road of wizards are already social groups that have transcended ordinary people and entered the world of wizards. You need to be prepared for this, otherwise you will feel pessimistic and hopeless."

　　 After introducing his experience, Dean Barmer gave Raymond advice with a wry smile.

　　 Feeling that this is a kind advice, Raymond bowed to show his gratitude.

　　 Through the communication with Dean Barmer, Raymond had a greatly improved impression of the old man. After hesitating for a moment, he still wanted to leave the library, and Dean Barmer, who was slowly reading it, called to a stop.

Frankly told about the possible usurpation conspiracy of the Tori family, Dean Barmer burst into laughter in the face of Raymond with a distressed and serious expression. He told Raymond plainly: "I just warned you. Wizards are above the world of ordinary people. You cannot think in the way ordinary people think in society. You need to change your thinking mode..."
