Chapter 798 Teaching Disciples and Trading Qualifications

Kane's Floating City
Li Si looked at Cole in front of him and smiled, inviting him to sit down:

"I once had two disciples, but unfortunately neither of them became a mage."

"Therefore, as my first disciple in the mage profession, I hope you will not slack off and continue to work hard."

Li Si once had two disciples, Helen and Fink.

However, both of these disciples are warriors.

As a legendary mage, Li Si also possesses the skills and expertise of other professions and can exert the abilities of other legendary ranks.

However, it was still somewhat awkward that none of the disciples were Dharma Masters.

Therefore, Li Si was quite happy to accept Cole as his disciple.

Moreover, Cole's talent is quite good.

Although the talent of "Good Scholar" is not a legendary talent, it is still a gold-tier talent that is extremely suitable for mages.

Moreover, although the effects are not obvious in the early stages and do not provide much benefit in direct combat, as Cole's strength increases and he acquires more and more magical knowledge, the effects of the [Scholar] talent will become more and more apparent.

It's obvious that this is a talent that shines in the later stages of development.

Therefore, Li Si felt that among his disciples, Cole was the most likely to reach the legendary rank.

However, right now, Cole is only a Silver-rank mage, which is still too far from the rank that Li Si is at.

"When I became Professor Stephens's disciple, I was also a Silver-rank mage."

Looking at the still somewhat nervous Cole, Li Si smiled and said:

"You are still in the foundational stage. It won't do you any good to get involved in advanced knowledge too early."

"Here you go."

Li Si raised the black tea with his left hand and waved it with his right.

A silver-white magic book appeared on the table in front of Cole.

"This is an explanation of some spatial spells, which is perfect for you right now."

After a pause, Li Si continued:

"Your talent is quite good, and it will help you master various types of magic as soon as possible."

"But being well-rounded comes with its own set of disadvantages. Your talent in spatial magic is more outstanding in comparison."

"I suggest you focus on learning spatial magic, and then supplement it with some other types of practical magic, which will be more suitable for your growth."

"Yes, Professor Li Si."

Cole nodded repeatedly, showing no sign of displeasure.

Just kidding, Teacher Li Si is a legendary mage, his insight is far beyond what he can compare to.

If his views contradict those of his teacher Li Si, then it must be his problem!

"Of course, you're only at the Silver rank right now. Don't rush to improve your combat skills; I'll arrange that for you later."

“I know about your situation. Compared to your peers, you are doing quite well, but you are still far from being a truly outstanding genius.”

"Of course, it's not that you lack talent, it's just that your previous learning environment was too different."

Li Si tapped the table with his index finger, and a crystal tray appeared in front of Cole.

On the tray lay an exquisite sky-blue mage's robe and a badge engraved with a soaring eagle.

Li Si looked at Cole and said;
"As my disciple, I will naturally provide you with some assistance."

"Wearing this badge will allow you to travel to most areas of Kane's Sky City and use those magical facilities."

"But I want to remind you that you should lay a solid foundation before thinking about anything else."

"The library in Kane Floating City has more magic books than the library of the Source of All Laws. Only when you feel you can't concentrate on reading can you think about putting the knowledge you've learned into practice."

Li Si gave Cole these instructions.

Generally speaking, mages inevitably engage in practice and research during their learning of magic.

However, Li Si was somewhat dissatisfied with Cole's current foundation. It would be more appropriate to conduct magical research after those areas were filled.

"I understand."

Cole nodded obediently.

For some reason, even though Li Si in front of him didn't look much older than him, Cole felt as if he were facing one of the most learned and wise elderly mages in the association.

After hesitating for a moment, Cole asked cautiously:
"Professor Li Si, if I have any questions, may I ask you?"

"of course can."

Li Si glanced at Cole and said with a smile:

“With that badge, you can contact me directly, even outside of Kane Sky City.”

"But don't ask me every question."

"When you encounter something you don't understand, think about it yourself first, and then try to find the answer through other methods."

"If this still doesn't answer your questions, then come back and ask me again."

Li Si slowly took a sip of black tea and smiled at Cole, saying:
"Little Cole, you must understand that since we have chosen to become mages, we are embarking on a path of pursuing knowledge and wisdom."

"As your teacher, I am your guide, but in the end, I am just a guide."

"This path of pursuing knowledge and wisdom is one you must ultimately walk alone."

"is teacher."

Listening to Li Si's words, Cole felt a heavy yet sacred sense of conviction arise in his heart for no apparent reason.

To be honest, before becoming Li Si's disciple, Cole didn't have many plans or expectations for his future.

He became a mage mainly because he had the talent and also loved magic.

He never imagined he could access such powerful forces.

Perhaps, in one's lifetime, becoming a Gold-rank mage would be considered quite good.

But now that he has become Li Si's disciple, it would be ridiculous to aim to become a Gold-rank mage.

Perhaps, I can reach a level I never imagined before?

Such a thought slowly began to emerge in Cole's mind.

Although Cole has not yet clearly defined his future beliefs, Li Si has already planted a seed of legend in his heart, just waiting for it to take root and sprout.

Li Si noticed the change in Cole's eyes and nodded in satisfaction.

This is right!
Li Si didn't need to worry too much about his disciple Cole in other aspects, except that he lacked confidence.

This may be related to his birth and his upbringing, but once you become his disciple, the past no longer matters.

Li Si gently swatted away the black cat that reached out to touch the snacks in front of him, and looked at Cole, saying:

"Alright, there are many things you still need to learn slowly, don't rush it."

"However, I have something I need you to do."

"Professor Li Si, please speak!"

Upon hearing this, Cole immediately sat up straight and looked at Li Si respectfully.

He had just become Li Si's disciple, and this was his first task, so Cole naturally had to be on high alert.

"Although it's a mission, you don't actually need to do anything special."

Li Si looked at Cole and said slowly;
"You know that the [Source of All Laws] magical journal has just completed a paper worthy of publication." "From your perspective, why do you think I would create those magical journals?"

Faced with Li Si's question, Cole fell silent for a moment.

To be honest, he had been so engrossed in his thesis that he had never considered this aspect.

Prior to this, the Pancontinental Mage Association did not have any magic journals.

There were only some newspapers called "intelligence summaries," but the content mainly consisted of news and changes from various associations.

There has never been a "newspaper" specifically for registering magical knowledge.

After thinking for a moment, Cole looked up at Li Si and said:

"I believe that your purpose in creating those magic journals was to break down the limitations of those schools of thought and allow most of the mages in the association to access more magical knowledge."

"Oh? Tell me in detail?"

Li Si was slightly surprised by Cole's answer.

He really hadn't expected Cole to answer his question from this angle, and in fact, it was somewhat close to his own purpose.

Cole organized his thoughts and said earnestly:

"I don't know if you know, teacher, but when we were at Jonas Magic Academy, we learned some basic magic knowledge."

"To acquire more powerful high-level magical knowledge, you either need to complete academy tasks in exchange for it, or you need a teacher from the academy to be willing to teach you."

"For most students, this is a rare opportunity."

"However, this only applies to low-level mages like us who have no background."

"After graduating from Jonas Magic Academy, we either have to pass the exams to join the schools of the association, or we can only become free mages. Whether we stay in the association or leave, we need to complete commissioned tasks to earn wealth, and then use that wealth to buy magical knowledge."

"Of course, joining a school also involves those tasks, but you'll have the opportunity to gain access to even more valuable magical knowledge."

"I don't know what you think, Master Li Si, but for us ordinary mages, the Source of All Laws has indeed given us a brand new opportunity."

"So many monks in the association stay in the Wisdom Library and are unwilling to leave because this kind of opportunity was too rare for us before."

“I think that you, Teacher Li Si, founded the Magic Journal for the same purpose.”

"I have carefully read all the magic journals. Although I don't understand some of them, they have also given me a lot of inspiration."

"Besides the magical knowledge, Professor Li Si, you also helped me understand what magical research and creative thinking are through those magical papers!"

As Cole spoke, Li Si's smile grew even wider.

This is really great!
Li Si did not expect that Cole would have such an understanding.

Indeed, magical knowledge is only one aspect.

Li Si wanted to use magic journals and magic papers to make the mages of the Pan-Continental Mage Association understand what thinking is!
As Li Si's understanding of the realm of "wisdom" deepened, he gained more insights.

One of the main reasons why wisdom is not the same as knowledge is this.

The pursuit of knowledge is the driving force behind the generation of wisdom, but knowledge is not the ultimate goal.

Acquire knowledge, apply knowledge, inspire knowledge
The scope of "wisdom" is undoubtedly much broader!

"Well said."

Looking at the somewhat worried Cole, Li Si smiled and praised him:
"It's already quite good that you have this understanding. As for other things, they are not something you can participate in."

"You must have just woken up. Take a look at your [Source of All Laws] badge!"

"Yes."

Cole was somewhat surprised, but he still took out the school badge.

This school's badge also works in Kane's floating city; Cole saw the pinned message on the badge.

Besides the announcement, Cole was surprised to see that his school rank had been raised to two-star arcane mage.

At the same time, a brand new feature has been added to the badge.

That is, the qualification to apply to the school for supplies and to use the magical facilities of the floating city.

"Teacher, what is this?"

Cole naturally understood the implications and immediately felt a little flustered.

Doesn't this mean he can use those floating city magic workshops that even legends would covet?

What merit or ability does he possess?

"Alright, stop making a fuss."

Li Si looked at Cole and said with a smile;
“In fact, even without going through the [Source of All Laws], as my disciple, you are still qualified to use those magical facilities.”

"So don't be surprised, you'll get used to it."

Hearing Li Si's words, Cole's surprise gradually subsided.

It was at this moment that he truly felt the confidence and help that came with becoming a legendary disciple.

These were things that Cole had never even dared to imagine before.

"Alright, now you should understand. In the [Source of All Laws], you are the only member besides me who can apply for the Legendary Magic Workshop."

At this point, Li Si's lips curled up slightly:

"More importantly, you can apply for a legendary magic workshop, but the [Source of All Magic] doesn't restrict who you can bring into the magic workshop, understand?"

"Professor Li Si, what do you mean?"

Since Li Si had said that, and Cole wasn't stupid, he naturally understood what Li Si meant.

However, this surprised him somewhat.

Can the "Source of All Laws" school still allow these things to be done?

"Don't worry, my school of thought, my floating city, I can do whatever I want with it."

"You already possess the emblem of the floating city, so you don't have many restrictions on what magical facilities you want to borrow."

"And you can 'sell' that qualification from the [Source of All Laws] school for a good price."

"Teacher, this is too difficult for me. You should decide."

Cole hesitated for a moment, then forced himself to speak.

Although it's unclear what Teacher Li Si is planning, it's obvious that this is part of his scheme.

However, Cole had heard how precious the qualification to use a legendary magic workshop was.

Even the Golden Mage doesn't have the qualifications to compete for or buy these items; these are realms beyond the legendary level.

Does he expect him to sell this qualification to those legendary congressmen?
Thinking about this, Cole felt the badge in his hand getting hot.

"What are you afraid of?"

Looking at Cole's expression, Li Si shook his head and said:

"Once you leave here, tell them that you have become my disciple."

"Let's see who dares to force you!"

"Just sell this qualification for a good price, consider it a gift from your teacher."

Cole looked at Li Si, unsure of what to say.

Which good teacher would immediately send their students to face a legend?

Cole felt that his future life might be a little "different".
