The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows.

Chapter 490 City of Wisdom
Richard didn't care about signing any contracts. He had too many ways to circumvent these contractual constraints.

He is now very interested in the practice methods of wizards in this world. The wizards in this world are also bloodline wizards, but they are much crazier than the bloodline wizards he has seen before.

Upon hearing that Richard was willing to sign a contract to join the Tower of Wisdom, the middle-aged wizard in front of him was also very happy. After all, they would also have rewards for being able to attract a wild wizard to join the academy.

Of course, the premise is that this wild wizard is not a spy from another academy.

This middle-aged wizard is called Wayne, and he has been a first-level wizard for more than 30 years. This time he is here to take charge of the task of recruiting new blood.

The people in charge of the work were a dozen wizard apprentices, who used crystal balls to test the bloodline qualifications of the children.

Although many nobles in this world are descendants of blood wizards, it does not mean that there are no potential spellcasters among the common people.

You have to know that over thousands of years, the rise and fall of families was all too common. Many former nobles fell into decline due to the downfall of their backers. These fallen nobles almost lost all their identities after a few generations, and finally became commoners and intermarried with ordinary commoners.

For thousands of years, almost everyone in this land has mixed blood to varying degrees.

Richard has been conducting blood tests on many people during this period, and he found that even among civilians there is about 3% to 5% other blood.

The percentage of nobles is slightly higher, usually around 5%-8%. According to the regulations of the Supreme Arcane Council, as long as the human bloodline exceeds 90%, it is considered a pure-blooded human.

Although the blood of these people seems to be very low, blood is a very strange thing. Even if there is only 0.1% dragon vein, this person may experience blood reversion due to some stimulation and become a dragon vein sorcerer.

The issue of ancestral bloodline has always been studied by blood wizards and warlocks. After all, many warlock families hope that their family bloodline will not be gradually diluted.

The state of ancestral bloodline has been studied for thousands of years, but the principle of its existence and why it occurs have not been discovered.

It can be said that in this world, anyone may experience reversion to their ancestral bloodline.

Therefore, when major wizard academies recruit children, they will test all children of appropriate age.

Richard selected a child from the Ryan family and helped him improve his blood concentration and qualifications, allowing him to pass the test successfully. At the same time, Richard did not treat the dozen beauties sent to him for bed badly, using blood cloning technology to make them pregnant.

After all, these people have been sleeping with him for so long, and they have been playing all kinds of tricks, such as the "Pythagorean Theorem", "Russian Roulette", and "Avi's Eighteen Forms". It can be said that he has been having fun, so he still has to give them some benefits.

After using the cloning technique, Richard also helped them increase their blood concentration. Basically, the children born by these girls in the future will have wizarding qualifications.

As for what will happen in the future, it depends on them.

In the next three months, Wizard Wayne and other wizard apprentices traveled through the northern and southern countries, and eventually found hundreds of children with bloodline wizard talent.

After completing all this, he returned to Winterfell and invited Richard to go to the Wizarding Continent with him.

The group took a carriage to the port. Just when Li realized that they were returning to the Wizarding Continent by boat, he didn't expect that Wayne actually led everyone to an open field.

At this moment, a black dot in the distant sky was approaching rapidly, and just a few minutes later, a huge airship appeared in the sky.

The children around were all stunned when they saw the huge airship in the sky. Richard was also a little surprised at the technological level of these wizards.

He thought that the wizards in this world did not have large-scale aerial flight technology.

"How is it? This is the latest product developed by our Tower of Wisdom! A floating airship! The one-of-a-kind floating airship in the entire Wizarding Continent!" Seeing Richard's surprised expression, Wizard Wayne next to him said proudly.

"Amazing magic technology!" Richard said with a smile.

"Hahaha, let's go, you are the first batch of apprentices to ride on the airship!" Wizard Wayne announced happily.

The airship landed. This airship was a hundred meters long. A floating magic circle was drawn underneath the airship. A lot of mithril was used on it. Judging from the technology, it should be the early floating technology of Netheril.

Richard followed Wayne onto the airship, and soon the airship took off again. Richard asked the system to check the data of the floating airship, and soon a large amount of data appeared in front of him.

This floating airship has a maximum speed of 150 kilometers per hour and can fly up to 10,000 meters or even higher. The outside of the airship is blessed with various magic arrays, which seem to be able to resist the seventh ring spell.

In addition to these, the airship has many other magical structures, which look very complete. As for the energy supply device, it uses an energy-gathering magic array.

Rely on wizards to infuse magic power or use magic stones to extract energy and recharge.

Seeing this, Richard has understood that the wizards in this world do not master the Miser energy nuclear technology and element furnace technology.

In all likelihood, the wizards in this world still use elemental pool technology.

However, the element pool technology cannot be moved for a long time, and the production cost of miniaturized element pools is very high, while the energy output is unsatisfactory.

Generally speaking, this airship technology belongs to the early stage of Netheril.

The airship flies very smoothly, and it is rare to encounter any powerful monsters in the sky. After all, the sky is too large.

The airship flew about 5,000 kilometers, and Richard finally saw a piece of land. This was the Wizard Continent that Wizard Wayne mentioned. It was also known as the Land of Shining Stars.

After the airship entered the range of this continent, Richard clearly felt the rich elemental energy. The elemental energy here was much higher than that in the north.

After arriving at the Wizard Continent, the airship flew for another day. When the sun rose in the east, Wizard Wayne stood at the front of the airship with an excited look on his face and said proudly: "We have arrived at the City of Wisdom!"

"This is the greatest city in the Wizarding Continent!"

The golden glow fell on the earth. Richard looked forward and saw a huge city in the distance. The city was built with pure white marble on all four sides and surrounded by a wide moat. The most eye-catching thing was the tower in the center of the city that was hundreds of meters high.

The entire tower is silver-white in color, and at the top of the tower there is a thing that is more than ten meters long and looks like a lightning rod. Richard knows that this thing is not a lightning rod, but a magic particle railgun.

It looks like it has undergone some renovation.

There were some runes flashing on the silver tower from time to time. It was obvious that this was a wizard tower. Below this tower, there were dozens of wizard towers several dozen meters high.

All wizard towers are connected together by a huge energy array. The entire city forms a large maze with this wizard tower as the core.

However, the technology of this large maze is also the technology of the early Netheril. This large maze is actually several small mazes connected together. Its energy source uses the element pool. For Richard, the defense of this large maze is not satisfactory. There is an area above the city that is specially used to park airships.

After the floating airship approached the city, a ray of light instantly hit the airship, and the magic circle on the airship began to work. A magical light rose up, and then the airship seemed to have passed the verification procedure, and began to slowly approach the city and then landed.

"What a big city!" many wizard apprentices exclaimed.

Such a city with a population of millions can only be found in places controlled by the Arcane Council, not to mention in this period, even in the world of Motera.

Because the larger the population, the more resources the city needs. For an ordinary kingdom, the pressure of supporting such a large city is very great.

There are some exotic buildings in the city. There are many tall towers in the city. The style is similar to Gothic architecture, but brighter than Gothic.

"The City of Wisdom is the largest city in the Wizarding Continent, with a population of over one million. To date, this city has a history of two thousand years."

“The Tower of Wisdom was built here, and the City of Wisdom came into being.”

"It is a great city built by wizards in the Tower of Wisdom!"

"See that silver metal pillar? That's our magic particle railgun! Its power exceeds that of a ten-ring spell. It's a strategic deterrent for the entire city!" Wizard Wayne said proudly.

"No matter whether it is the Emerald Tower or the Ghost Tower, no one can withstand its power!"

Richard agreed with this statement. Even Richard would not withstand an attack that exceeded the power of a ten-ring spell.

The energy field and rune maze on his body will be broken even if you resist them.

However, although this thing is powerful, it cannot track targets and cannot attack continuously. He has too many ways to deal with it.

As for the Ghost Tower and the Emerald Tower, they basically won't fight head-on. These two wizard organizations both believe in the law of the jungle, and they value their own strength more, so those wizards will not put themselves in danger.

They would not fight the Tower of Wisdom for the sake of their own wizard organization. If they were hit by a bullet, they would not benefit from the war even if they won. So no matter how strong the Ghost Tower and the Emerald Tower were, they would not fight against the City of Wisdom.

It seems that this equipment also allows the Wizarding Continent to achieve a fragile balance.

Otherwise, given the current state of the wizarding world, the fighting would have already begun, and it would not be like now, taking turns.

In addition to these, Richard also saw many golems. There were a large number of obsidian gargoyle golems on the city walls. It seemed that obsidian was abundant here. The Wisdom Tower probably had good puppet golem technology.

Soon, a group of monster-like creatures appeared in the sky. They floated in the air, staring at everyone coldly, and said in a cold voice: "The City of Wisdom has a no-fly order. Please show your permission!"

The obsidian gargoyles on the city wall were glowing with spiritual light, awakening from their slumber, and it seemed that they would immediately launch an attack if they discovered anything unusual.

"My name is Wayne, and I have been ordered to go to the Cartel Continent to recruit students. This is my pass!" Wizard Wayne handed over a scroll.

After checking that there were no problems, the monster let the airship land.

Soon after the airship landed, a team of wizards led everyone to the Tower of Wisdom. The City of Wisdom was actually the descendants of those apprentices in the Tower of Wisdom who did not become formal wizards.

These people were unable to become wizards, but were unwilling to leave, so they lived around the Tower of Wisdom. Later, the Tower of Wisdom simply built a city here for these people to live in.

Although these people cannot become wizards, many of their children have wizarding qualifications, and this is also another source of students for the Tower of Wisdom.

At the same time, the wizards living here have also boosted the local economy. Various wizard shops are lined up one after another, and those wizard apprentices have become the best productivity, providing a large amount of cheap productivity for the Tower of Wisdom.

Ninety percent of the materials in the Tower of Wisdom are produced here.

The reason why the Tower of Wisdom now has the largest number of wizards is also because of the City of Wisdom.

Richard followed the wizards from the Tower of Wisdom to a palace. The new students had been taken to another place. They would be tested again and then assigned to various subjects to begin their apprenticeship.

Richard was brought here, and when he arrived, he found that there were quite a few other wizards here.

These wizards didn't seem to be from the Tower of Wisdom. Just when Richard was confused, a wizard stepped forward and said, "My Lords, if you want to join the Tower of Wisdom, you need to pass the test. If there are any undercovers from other wizard organizations among you, please come forward now. We can guarantee your safety and let you go!"

"If you don't come forward now and wait until you are detected inside, don't blame us for taking action!"

After hearing the wizard's words, Richard finally understood that these wizards were planning to speed up the Tower of Wisdom.

Seeing that no one answered, the wizard didn't say much. He just asked the wizard next to him to distribute signs to everyone, and then they entered the room at the back one by one.

Soon it was Richard's turn. Richard followed the wizard into the room, only to see darkness in the room. The next second, a magical power enveloped it.

Richard keenly sensed that this power was monitoring his soul.

At the same time, another magic came over very covertly. Richard was very familiar with this magic fluctuation. It was the effect of suggestion.

A dozen spells quietly rose up, all of which were to detect the mind and soul. Then a voice sounded: "Your name."

Richard immediately sensed the magic in it. This voice had a power similar to that of a spirit, which could make people unable to lie. However, for Richard, there were still many ways to deal with this method.

"Richard."

"Which school of wizards are you from?"

"I don't belong to any academy. I'm a wild wizard."

"The purpose of your joining the Tower of Wisdom."

“I want to gain more knowledge.”
