Simulate the heavens from Faerûn

Chapter 125 Admission and Courses [Please subscribe]

A week after the New Year's ceremony, Aylward gradually returned to its normal appearance, and people began to work hard for a new year's life.

The only major event is the new round of mage apprentice recruitment in the Tower of Stars. This is a day that countless Aylward families are looking forward to.

Because on this day, maybe your son or daughter, brothers, sisters, or a relative who can't even hit a pole suddenly reveals his magical talent and becomes a noble mage (apprentice) from then on, and he also becomes The upstart in Aylward.Once you change your fate, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, nothing more than that.

This kind of thing happens every year during the twice-annual enrollment at Star Tower, making countless families hope that this day will come to them.

So on this day, the square behind the auditorium was crowded with people from all directions, not only ordinary citizens who hoped to get rich overnight and get ahead; there were also businessmen and their descendants gathered by Aylward. After all, they did not possess extraordinary power. No matter how wealthy a businessman is, if he does not have the corresponding strength, he will ultimately be a fat sheep.

There are also noble children who come from far away to be famous. Although Netheril has fallen, its legal heritage is still praised. For countless people who want to learn magic, Netheril magic has an indescribable charm. charm.

Of course, there are also the public officials and professionals in Aylward and their relatives and descendants. After all, in Aylward and Faerun, only mages are the real masters. They are not only powerful and respected, but also incomparable. Being rich is basically the best expectation for most people for their children's future path.

As for the real high-level officials and family members of the Pedler family, they have already been tested in advance. People with magical talents have long been admitted to the Tower of Stars. As long as they wait for the end of this batch of enrollment, they can enter the Tower of Stars to study formally, without coming to the Tower of Stars. Here we stand in line with everyone else, enduring the cold and crowds.

Due to the tradition passed down from Netheril, the Star Tower does not have particularly strict requirements for the age of its students. Generally, they are as young as four or five years old, playing in the mud, and as old as the gray-haired 90-year-old man half buried in the earth. As long as the magic talent is detected, the Tower of Stars will always welcome everyone.

It's just that there are different treatments for people of different ages. For example, people under the age of 20 can not only be tested in the first batch, not only free of charge, but also if they sign up to become a mage apprentice in the Tower of Stars There is also a reward of one hundred gold coins ("selling one's body fee", which is also the reason why so many ordinary people are keen on magic talent testing).

For those over the age of 20, they have to pay three silver coins, and the rewards after signing the contract will also decrease with age. However, this does not stop people from yearning to become a mage, and it also helps the Tower of Stars to successfully explore the hidden potential. The magical genius left the window.

So it was a dim light on this day, and the entire square was surrounded by water, and there was a steady stream of people rushing here. Although there were guards maintaining order, the entire square was still a little messy.

The cries of children, the yelling of women, the sounds of men fighting, and the scolding of guards could be heard all the time.However, this has nothing to do with the mages responsible for magic talent detection, because the mages stay in the magic tents in the square and are not affected at all.

……

The curtain of a magic tent was lifted, and a young man wearing a mage apprentice's robe came out pulling a little kid.He came to the guard standing by and said something softly, and then the guard shouted loudly: "Who are the parents of Valery Voinovich?! Come here! Come here! ... …”

Then the guards who were maintaining order passed this sentence on one by one. After a while, an honest young couple was led by the guards to the outside of the tent. Looking at their rough hands and poor clothes, you can see Come out, they should be a low-class family in Aylward.

The couple came to the outside of the tent with [-]% reserve, [-]% worry, and [-]% expectation. They looked at the young man respectfully, waiting for the judgment of fate.The young man looked at them and just nodded slightly, then said:
"Well... you are the parents of Valery Voinovich?... Valery Voinovich has been detected with magical talent and has the hope of becoming a mage. If you want him to become a star Mage apprentices of the tower, then sign your names and Valery Voinovich's names on this contract and drop a drop of blood on it..."

"If you choose to sign a contract, then this hundred gold coins will be your reward..."

He waved his hands, and a roll of parchment with a thin needle appeared in one hand, while the other hand held a heavy cloth bag, waiting for the couple's choice.

Hmm... Most of them will choose to sign the contract and leave happily with the gold coins, and there will be no change if they think about it.

Hearing this, the young couple's faces instantly showed smiles, and they let out a breath. Although they were still very reserved, they were more open. The man walked up to the mage apprentice, took the contract respectfully, and looked at it slowly, while the woman It was Valery Voinovich, the child who was pulled aside, who spoke in a low voice.

After a while, the man briefly read the contract and then signed the contract with his family to make Valery Voinovich the mage apprentice of the Tower of Stars.

However, what surprised the young mage apprentice was that the young couple did not leave directly with a hundred gold coins, but poured half of it into a cloth bag and gave it to their child Valery Voinovich. He gave some instructions before leaving. Watching the couple go away under the leadership of the guards, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a wise choice..."

After letting the guards take Valery Voinovich down, he returned to the magic tent and continued working.

The seemingly small tent actually has a cave inside. A magic lamp illuminates the tent as brightly as daylight. Behind a wooden table, an old mage is closing his eyes to meditate. A basketball-sized crystal ball is placed in front of him. Emits a strange light.After entering, the young man quickly saluted and said: "Teacher! It has been arranged!"

"If it's okay, let's continue..."

"Yes, guard, next!"

The curtain of the tent was raised, and a child walked in, looking around cautiously, looking at the old mage and the young man with fear and anticipation.

"Put your hand on that crystal ball..."

…………

The crowd slowly moved forward. One person entered the tent and then walked out one by one. Some were excited, some looked disappointed, and some looked plain.

At dusk, the entire square finally became empty, and the soldiers on duty finally completed today's task and prepared to leave. The mages also packed up their magic tents and rushed to the Tower of Stars with the recruited freshmen.

In the Tower of Stars, after further inspection and investigation, these new students registered their identities and received supplies at Rey's last registration office, and then found their own rooms and began to rest under the guidance of the previous mage apprentices.

Hmm~ On the first day of school, there are no classes, and there is no opening ceremony or welcome ceremony.All the freshmen stayed in their rooms bitterly, listening to Ta Ling talking about the new rules and tasks.

The main ones are the curriculum arrangement and the order and rules in the Star Tower.

Regarding future courses, Ta Ling said that apprentices can make their own decisions based on their own learning progress. Generally, apprentices who have just entered the Mage Tower will be taught by some outstanding senior apprentices in the hall on the first floor.

Going a step further, you can choose to join the official Master's course, no need to apply, but the official Master will not change the progress for a certain person. If you can't keep up, you will either quit the first-level course, or you will continue to listen until the course is repeated again.

The choice of courses is very free. It is similar to the university in Rey's memory, or even more free. It is whether you really want to go or not. No one and rules force you to study. The only requirement is that you must use your own strength within a certain number of years. Raise to a certain level.

Some freshmen like Rey's class can choose to learn magic knowledge directly, while some people who are from poor backgrounds or who are young have to learn to read first. Well, this is the only mandatory requirement, to be literate and able to write.

Rey said this is very good, full of humanization and long-term development considerations, give it a thumbs up!He has successfully managed to win over a group of people of the same age. This New Year holiday is not a waste of time!
Furthermore, in the Tower of Stars, everything is exchanged at equal value. The knowledge rights explained in class should be free, but some additional and key questions will be charged.

Well, all learning supplies in the Tower of Stars such as quills, parchment, and ink are chargeable, and the free meals provided by the Tower of Stars don't even think about how delicious they are, just filling them up is already very good.

Of course, the Tower of Stars also provides a lot of money-making jobs for mage apprentices, such as cleaning laboratories, cultivating magic plants, giving lectures to others, etc.

Um... Rey said that he didn't have to think about the above issues, because his parents were rich and his family was also rich, so he didn't have to think about these money matters.

As long as he eats, drinks and studies well in the Tower of Stars, Rey can only accept it reluctantly, put aside the idea of ​​being involved in beating the workers, and enjoy the convenience brought by money and family background.

By asking the tower spirit, you can get a list of courses offered by various official mages. Rey has a general understanding. The esoteric ones include detailed explanations of a specific spell, the structure of the magic network, and the production of magic items. There are also alternative ones. Specialized mage etiquette classes and elf etiquette classes.

However, these have nothing to do with Rey for the time being. His current magic base in Faerun is almost 0. In order to better integrate his knowledge and experience into Faerun and transform it into strength.All he can choose now is the most basic "Magic Enlightenment Course", which is taught by a senior apprentice named Leandro Renn in the hall on the first floor.

　The second dungeon will be launched soon, and I am a bit confused about the heroine of the dungeon. Do you think it is more appropriate to have multiple heroines, single heroine, no heroine, or beheading the heroine?
