The Magic Association was located in the southernmost Mage Tower of the Capital, while the Imperial Palace was built in the northernmost Capital. Ordinary people originally wouldn't understand why they were building it this way, but when he saw this Mage Tower, he understood. The sitting Mage Tower was too high, and too big. It was several thousand acres wide, and the height was even more shocking. If such a large building was built beside the palace, then there would be no secrets within the palace.
"How high is this Mage Tower?" He asked Archmage Cameron who was beside him.
Cameron replied: "According to the records of the association, this Mage Tower was created by two thousand three hundred Mage s using magic. Amongst them, just the Archmage s and Magic Scholars numbered nearly three hundred, and the rest were Supreme Mages. This Mage Tower, which these mages took a total of seventeen years to build, has a height of one hundred and sixty levels.
Only the huge shrine on the island of light could be compared to this place. Thinking about it, he could not help but say, "The mages who live here can raise a few dragons."
Cameron laughed: "There's no problem at all. You'll understand when we get inside, this Mage Tower is simply an independent world, as long as you can think of it, there's still enough here." After saying that, he stuck his badge on the door. After a flash of light, the two of them entered the Mage Tower.
It was completely different from the Mage Tower he had imagined. He thought that since it would be floor after floor, this place should be arranged like a building, but after entering, he realized that this place was simply an independent world.
What appeared in front of the ordinary people was a huge castle, behind the castle was a vaguely visible mountain peak. Looking around, there were people coming and going in the castle, there were men and women, old people and young, all of them had smiles on their faces.
Peach out of the world! — This was the ordinary evaluation of the place.
Cameron laughed: "You're surprised right? When I came here for the first time, I was so scared that I became dumb. This place was an independent space created using magic. After ten thousand years of accumulation, there are currently nearly two hundred thousand people living in this Mage Tower, and these two hundred thousand people are all descendants and family members of some mages. They have all voluntarily settled here, and are completely self-sufficient. "
The Archmage then sighed and said, "After the gods left this world, the number of mages became fewer and fewer. After tens of thousands of years, the number of mages in this world was already one in ten thousand, and even if there were more than two hundred thousand people living in this Mage Tower, the total number of mages here would only be around two hundred. This is almost one third of the number of mages in the Burton Empire."
In his opinion, all of this was because of the changes in the heaven and earth origin energy, just like on Earth. Millions of years ago, the heaven and earth origin energy was extremely thick, but as humans wreaked havoc in the environment, the heaven and earth energy became increasingly thin.
Mages of this world had used almost all of their magic to wreak havoc, creating wars and destroying the environment. They had long since forgotten that the essence of magic was creation, not destruction. If everyone really knew how to use magic, then the existence of this world would be unknown.
Thinking about this, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. Perhaps this world was really controlled by a God, or was controlled by some God's law, there was an invisible balance existing in the world. For example, through continuous learning, the level of a Mage had improved a lot, especially when compared to the destructive magic of the past. However, the number of people who could become a Mage was becoming fewer and fewer.
The bottom of the tower is where ordinary people live, and the world above the tenth floor is for Mages. Originally, only Mages with the qualifications to become a Superior Mage can have their own laboratory, but due to the scarcity of Mages, any Mage can apply for a large enough laboratory to settle down here.
Following Archmage up the stairs, Cameron explained the layout of the place as he walked. Every time he went up a level, he felt like he was flying up once, and after doing this a few times, he became impatient, so he simply used his "Mind's Eye" to look around him. This time, he finally understood that this Mage Tower was actually on the same level as the buildings, and only used spatial magic and illusions to hide the truth.
Above the tenth floor, a chaotic market appeared in front of the ordinary people. Cameron said: "Every ten floors, there is a trading market, and a large portion of the people here come in from outside the Mage Tower, they transport the raw materials that the mages need here to sell, and then sell the things that the mages produce outside. The more you sell, the more precious the items will become, what you see now is only the lowest level trading market."
After listening to the praises, he felt a sense of familiarity. There were all kinds of raw materials and magic items, and all of them were clearly priced. This made him feel like he was looking for a large supermarket, which also inspired him.
Upon reaching the tenth floor or higher, he saw those mages wearing pointy mage hats. These people were as thin as human lamps, and he thought to himself, "Looking at their appearance, if they were to write 'See me make a fortune' or 'See a joy' on their pointy hats, it would be the same as the Black and White Impermanence!"
There was nothing here, only a huge silver disk on the floor, with a complicated magic array engraved on it. Ka Mei Lun invited General Luo to stand on the plate, then he looked at him and said: "Young Mr. Mage, be prepared, we are going to reach the top of the Mage Tower soon."
After saying that, he lightly stepped on a set of talismans with his foot and suddenly, the disk moved. It rose at a speed of over 80 meridians per hour.
The Archmage felt discouraged when he saw his calm expression and asked curiously: "Have you used the Earth Chariot before?"
"A car?" Ordinary heart says this is not like a car, but more like an elevator. He lightly shook his head and said, "No."
Originally, Cameron felt extremely displeased with his ordinary appearance. After entering the Mage Tower, other than a slight look of shock on his face when he entered the door, he did not reveal any expression of surprise at all. This caused Archmage to be extremely puzzled. He did not know that normal people did not find it strange, but when faced with all this, they thought that he had seen these things before, so they wanted to test him one last time.
This was one of the items created by the gods. Of course, the one here was only a fake, and it was said that the real Earth Chariot was in the hands of the president of the Magic Association, the Great Magic Scholar Iquita.
Although this fake could not travel thousands of miles in a blink like a real Earth Chariot, its speed was still extremely fast. This was the first time Archmage, who did not react at all, saw someone riding this thing while screaming. Seeing the disappointed and regretful expression on Archmage's face, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch. How terrible it is to have no culture! This is just an "elevator", what's there to be surprised about? In the future, I'll "invent" a game called "bungee jumping" to let you know what it means to be excited.
Arriving at the top floor of the Mage Tower, Archmage Cameron brought along an ordinary person and entered a house marked with the office of the President. Seeing two people enter, a white-bearded Old Man wearing a pointed hat and water glasses stood up and said: "Oh, my old friend Cameron, and this young intern, Mr. Mage, welcome to the Mage's house."
Cameron went over and performed a mage salute before saying to Pingfan, "This is the president of the Magic Association, the principal of the Empire's royal Magic And Martial Academy, Mr. Iquita Thomas."
After normal listening and sizing up this person, Iquita did not have any other characteristics on him, only one word on his body — — luxurious! On his head was a gorgeous mage hat inlaid with golden magic prints, and on his eyes were crystal glasses with golden chains. On his body was an exquisite mage robe with fine materials, ten fingers were adorned with eight large rings shining, and on his hand was a dragon Skull Dragon.
Iquita smiled and nodded, then arranged himself into a stance, waiting for Ordinary to come over and compliment him. However, he had not expected Normal Tan to say something that almost made him choke on his anger, "The pervert that was peeping at us earlier was you, right?"
Peeping on others' eyes was a very disgraceful action, so those noble families would usually use a different term to replace it. For example, right now, the noble empress dowager was "checking" Liz.
Receiving the order from the Emperor, the Empress brought her servant along to "volunteer work", and followed Lady Liz to visit the crippled elders and the orphaned children. This moved her quite a bit, as the noble empress had never thought that there would be so many weak and sickly people who had no one to rely on in the Capital.
Amongst these people, no one cared whether she was the empress or a kitten or a dog, and for the first time, she realised that she was no longer the focus of attention. In their eyes, Madam Liz, who accompanied her, looked more like a queen.
This praise and wishes came from the heart, and was completely different from the usual flattering praises. In a trance, it was as if Lady Liz had truly become a Virgin Mary, saving lives while she herself had become this Virgin Mary's maid, an unremarkable follower. This made her feel a huge sense of loss.
Different from the Queen's loss, Madam Liz was now enjoying this kind of life. She had found a way to reflect the value of her life, although she had only learnt magic for a dozen days, she was already able to grasp the intermediate level of Saint Healing, and looking at her skillful yet effective Healing Magic, no one would think that she was just a show on the plaza in front of the church. The current Madam Liz was a truly recognized Virgin Mary, where kindness, kindness, warmth, sympathy, and other beautiful words were vividly displayed on the Virgin Mary.
What surprised the empress the most was the organization known as the "Mutual Assistance for the Poor". In just 10 days, the organization had controlled more than 100,000 commoners and poor people, giving out tens of millions of gold coins to produce these poor people. The empress was shocked by the organization's vigor.
The other Zhi Zun of the Imperial Palace, the supreme Emperor, was also looking through the Queen's eyes at this moment. His Majesty only saw the appearance of the phenomenon, but the Emperor saw the immense influence and the frightening cohesiveness from it. He knew that commonplace was not lying to him, if these tens of thousands of orphans reached adulthood, the impact they would have would be immeasurable.
In just ten short days, this organization had already developed into a small force in all aspects of business, industry, transportation, and more. Adding on to that, they were united and had a unified command, so he believed that they could very quickly control a large portion of the essential infrastructure of the Capital. At the same time, the Emperor also received inspiration from this group, and thought of a way to solve the empire's most unstable factor, the large number of poor people.
All of these things combined together turned into that shocking Foundation, he now roughly knew how the Foundation made money. There were plenty of people in the foundation, and there was also plenty of money. These people, combined with money, plus a leader who was extremely talented in investment, would produce a profit that even Emperor could not estimate.
Emperor, who had already decided to accept the ordinary request, now had even more firmly resolved his own thoughts. As long as he could tie Yue Yang together with him, then even if Ji Family really wanted to rebel, he would have the strength to resist.
Within the Mage Tower, conversation with the Great Magic Scholar Iquita and Archmage Cameron was in full swing. The two masters, who were among the best in the empire, now wanted to shut up and return to a state where he treasured his words like gold.
Now that they were guarding the empire's most learned Grand Magic Scholar and the palace's chief Archmage, their conversation had completely turned into a question answering class. Ordinary asking about the most basic magic principles, gradually asking about the birth of elemental magic and the complex magic, asking about the magic phenomena leading to this phenomenon, from the arrangement of magic to the changes in the arrangement of magic, and so on. They basically didn't ask anything about it.
At the beginning, the two of them were still pouting at the superficial questions asked by Ordinary, but later on, the questions they were surprised with were covered in cold sweat, because in the end, the ones asked by Ordinary became harder and harder for them to answer. Some of them had never thought of it before, and the two of them felt that it was a great disgrace to answer their questions in such a fluent manner at first, but in the end, they looked at each other and decided to immediately send this guy, whose mind was filled with questions, away if people knew that they were being questioned by the lowest level Mage, then they would not be able to answer it.
Interrupting the ordinary question, the Great Magic Scholar, Iquita, took out a notice from the Royal Magic Academy and said: "Young man, I am very sorry. My job is very busy. I asked Archmage Cameron to invite you here because I have good news to inform you. Congratulations, you have been accepted into the Imperial Family Magic Academy. This is your notice of admission.
He looked up and asked the Great Magic Scholar curiously: "Honored Mr. Iquita, could it be that the reason you invited me here is to give me this?"
"Oh, of course not. Young man, I am a Magic Scholar. How could I find you just for a notice of admission? The real reason is … Uhh, about that, I heard that Cameron has highly praised you and I really want to chat with you. Most importantly, I want to ask, are you willing to be my student? " He also felt that just because of a notice of admission, it was somewhat embarrassing to come here and ask for an ordinary person, even though this order was given to him by the Emperor.
Aside from giving him the notice of acceptance, the Great Demon Scholar had actually also prepared to entertain this fellow a little. It was because of him and Ji Chu that he had been scolded by the Emperor, and also because of those two old freaks from Ji Family. He didn't dare to look for trouble with Ji Family, and was prepared to vent his anger.
Archmage Cameron said emotionally: "Ordinary, Great Magic Scholar Iquita is extremely knowledgeable, to be able to be lucky enough to become his disciple is something others would wish for, quickly agree."
Ordinary glanced at the two of them, and once again did something that exceeded their expectations. He stood up and bowed towards the Great Magic Scholar, and said, "Thank you for your kindness. It's just that I'm too vulgar and stupid. I'm afraid that it will tarnish your reputation. I appreciate your kindness." With that, he nodded towards the Archmage and signaled for him to turn around before leaving.
The two Old Man s in the room looked at each other. To be able to become the disciple of the Great Magic Scholar Iquita, this was a good thing that many people couldn't even beg for.
"He has a personality, I like him!" Humph, little brat, just because I like you, don't think you can escape from me! " Iquita's eyes shone with a blue light as he spoke, and his expression suddenly changed, and he cried out: "Aiya, I forgot to collect money from him! My gold coins, that notice is very valuable! "
Archmage shivered and then coughed lightly. "Respected Magic Scholar, please take note of your words and expression. Your current appearance is no different from a hooligan who wants to snatch a commoner girl."
Iquita scoffed, "Cameron, it's been a long time since we've fought, why don't we fight a round now!"
After the Archmage heard this, he felt his bones aching and hurriedly said, "Alright, my friend, stop joking around. Quickly tell me what your evaluation of this little fellow is?"
