Returning from the abyss

Chapter 465 The Magic Council
The history of the Magic Council is as long as that of the Avalon.

The membership of the Parliament consists of twelve full members and a variable number of reserve members.The twelve official members, also known as the inner council, are the real managers of the Violet Library.

According to the founder's regulations, the term of office of full members is 20 years, with a maximum of three consecutive terms.All official members must come from different cultural backgrounds, must serve in different magical disciplines, and must be elected by the public election of the outer council.

Since Parcival retired from the Inner Council, the current Inner Council is composed of twelve official members headed by Dulemond. The oldest Liszt is 120 years old this year, while the youngest Cherub is only 44 years old. , can be said to represent the identities of the three most important generations in the magic world today.

Lu Ning turned a page.

Undoubtedly, Dulemond's talent was shown during Parcival's tenure. Although he finally became a full member of the parliament with the emperor's qualifications of the largest system of elemental magic, no one would ignore that he also possessed The emperor level of the three rare magic types of time and space, crystallization and summoning.

In the early days of Dulemond's tenure, many people were worried that such a powerful person entering the inner council would have a bad influence on Ewalon because of his too iron-blooded wrist, but it turned out that they were too worried.Dulemond did not make a lot of adjustments to the teaching management policy left by Percival, but only optimized many details. At the same time, he rectified the city's guard team, making any emergency response measures more timely and professional. Undoubtedly a good thing.

Looking at the evaluations in this book, except for being a little unreasonable and difficult to approach, Dullermond seems to have no negative comments.After all, this is magic, and the biggest difference from science and technology is that personal strength is greatly highlighted. No matter how well the world popularizes magic, the strong will have more say.

Lu Ning squeezed the center of her eyebrows, and temporarily put away the book.

At this time, she had already left the Opal area and had just entered the range of the Topa area, sitting in a small restaurant and eating breakfast.The oriental style is at least closer to her original taste, although the meals are sometimes too delicate.

I closed the book because the waiter had already delivered a breakfast set.

She came here to see if there are any differences in how different regions respond to emergencies, and to listen to a class by the way.The morning in Ketopa District is quiet, nothing special seems to be happening.

He picked up the soup and took a sip to warm up his body, and he also slightly dispelled the fatigue of not sleeping all night.Some people say that once you get through the night, you will become extremely sober. Now Lu Ning is in this state. On the one hand, she wants to sleep, and on the other hand, her thoughts are extremely clear.

The course I’m going to listen to today is Zaaph-oHMHo’s elemental magic class. Elemental magic is the type of magic with the most learners. Even the magician emperor can’t count the number with two hands. Under this premise If Avalon recognized the academic ability of a great magister and let him give lectures, then there must be something special about it.

Different from the previous two courses, any lecture on elemental magic is to the extent that if you arrive an hour in advance, you won't be able to occupy a seat.People like Lu Ning, who arrived early after staying overnight, found that there was already a long queue at the entrance of the Shinto Academy at the target location, and some people were even hastily putting away the bedding rolls or tents on the ground.

This... is really unbeatable.

Fortunately, although the line was not long enough to be hopeless, Lu Ning stood at the end of the line, waiting for the door to open.The Shinto Academy can be heard from the name as an oriental-style college building, with walls and school gates, and the doors will not be opened until the specified time in the morning.

"Miss Lillian?"

While queuing up and taking a nap, Lu Ning suddenly heard someone calling him, and when she opened her eyes, she saw He Mozhiming standing beside her with a box of sushi.

"Ah, Mr. He Mao." Lu Ning remembered this young man who didn't talk much.

"What class did you come for?" He Mao glanced at the team and asked.

"Elements, Zafi's lessons."

"When is it time to line up like this? Come with me." He Mao Zhiming pointed at himself, and Lu Ning walked out.At this time, some people turned their heads back and forth, and a few showed dissatisfaction.

"What are you looking at? I know you guys?" He Mao Zhiming immediately turned cold, not caring about the faces of those people at all, and led Lu Ning to the school.

"So you are..."

"Shinto is an academy jointly funded by the Akiyama family and the Kyogoku family."

"...Isn't your surname He Mao?"

"That's why I have to stay away from the master's house, not to mention that my girlfriend is from the Qiushan family, so I just took the opportunity to come here to study." He Mao Zhiming brushed his school badge at the back door, and then led Lu Ning in.

"It sounds like you hate the Master's family."

"Not to mention, I just don't like clan affairs very much, and I don't like their faces giving orders. In fact, every family is similar, so I can only choose to stay away."

"But you have a girlfriend, why did you treat Pengshan Yuanzi so badly before?"

He Mao Zhiming choked on his saliva.

"If you talk about this, we won't be able to talk anymore."

Lu Ning tilted her head.

"I, Li Yu, and Yuanzi belong to the kind of brothers and sisters who are young, best friends, who can't be better, but as they grow older and have issues such as regions and families, they become more divided. I I don't like that."

"Understandable."

"Really? I still don't understand why we grow up and put on a mask to familiar people, obviously we are friends who know everything. Of course we know that we should follow some etiquette, but etiquette is not to make people interact more friendly Was it designed? How did it become an obstacle preventing us from maintaining our friendship?"

He Mao Zhiming talked a lot, maybe because he was not that familiar with Lu Ning, he was able to let go of his complaints. Lu Ning could tell that this young man had no scheming in the city, and was just an ordinary young man with so much rebellion and confusion.

Moreover, He Mao didn't really need someone to answer his doubts, so Lu Ning just followed his words and expressed his approval. Soon the two boarded a three-story round building, where they found The lecture hall of elemental magic.

"Okay, I'll deliver breakfast first, maybe I'll come and listen later, see you later."

"Thank you, but there may be no seats available when you come over in a while."

"Haha." He Mao Zhiming waved his hands, turned his head and left quickly, looking really anxious.

And Lu Ning waited here for a while, and saw a tall, thin man with long silver hair and wearing a standard magician's dress coming from the corridor. He put one hand in his pocket and the other Carrying a briefcase, Lu Ning stood here and immediately showed a bright smile: "I didn't expect a student to wait for me here so early? There was no one in the corridor, I thought I was unwelcome .”

This person is Zafi Omon.

"I think it's probably because the students in this school seldom learn anything related to elemental magic."

Shinto College is different from most colleges, it is a complete oriental teaching, and the content is also knowledge from there. Elemental magic is not the same as five element numerology or gossip calculus, so there is naturally little interest in this kind of lectures.The people who came here to attend lectures were all other students, and they are still locked out of the gate.

"I have to say that sometimes the teaching in the East may be too rigid. I learned the word inclusiveness from them, but it is very difficult to do it in practice." Zafi smiled and pushed the classroom door open, "But this lovely students, can I infer that there are actually many students outside who are looking forward to my courses?"

"I saw quite a few when I came here," Lu Ning replied.

"Oh, thanks—sorry, I forgot the common name. Although you may know me, a formal self-introduction is necessary. My name is Zafi Omon. I have a little knowledge in elemental magic and I am the lecturer of this course."

"Lilian, the alchemist."

"Then I look forward to applying what you have learned here to alchemy." Zafi stepped aside gentlemanly, and invited Lu Ning to enter the classroom first.

The lecture hall here is not small, it can accommodate about 300 people, but it is still not big compared to the outside.Zafei walked in behind Lu Ning, looked up at the layout of the entire classroom, and said, "It's not easy to study far away, and students shouldn't lose their place to attend lectures, don't you think so? Lilian?"

"Hmm..." Lu Ning was a little confused about what this polite guy meant.

"As the first student, maybe you are willing to sit in the special seat..." Zafi raised his hand, and the powerful but extremely orderly elements were arranged in the palm of his hand, and the air suddenly felt a little thicker, Lu Ning slightly Surprised, this technique is called element qualitative change. Those who have fully mastered it can use any element to exert the magic they need. Just now, Zafi has made a large number of air elements in the classroom have the nature of "earth".

"Appear, white hall through which the north wind blows."

Following Zafi's soft moan, a solid building appeared in the air, which was connected to the four walls, floor and ceiling of the hall through some key points, and suspended above the existing seats.

That was the second seat, which doubled the capacity of the entire classroom, and being able to instantly transform elements and shape earth elements in such a large area, at least the level of his great magister was beyond compare. question.

Lu Ning stepped on the semi-transparent stairs to the upper seat, and there was a sense of solidity under her feet, and the seat in the front row was just like what Zafi said, it was the special class where she could watch his lecture from the most comfortable angle. seat.

"Thank you, Professor."

"Happy to ask for your help." Zafi smiled and bent over, turned and walked to the podium.

But ten minutes later, the door was crowded with students, most of them were shocked by the classroom arranged by Zafi, and even a person from the Seminary School who was in charge of order came over and talked to Zafi in a low voice.

As for Lu Ning, who was sitting here in advance, she soon became inconspicuous, only the few people who snatched her side looked at her a few more times.

Soon, Zafi's class started on time.

"Element, this cognition has existed since the birth of magic. From the ancient earth, water, fire and wind to the discovery of countless new elements in modern times, this magic has not been eliminated with the development of the times, but It accommodates countless new theories and becomes more complex, vivid and interesting."

Compared with the two lectures Lu Ning had seen before, Zafi's lectures were simply model teachers. Even though her attainments in elemental magic were quite low, it didn't sound like a lot of effort.

"Every student will have a question during the learning process. There are many branches of elemental magic, and there are many types. Even the skills have their own merits. So which direction should I study? Should I specialize in one or two elements? Woolen cloth?"

Many people are nodding to this question, obviously they all have similar confusion.

"I'm not your real instructor, so it's impossible to tailor a plan for everyone. But if I were to say it, I would tell you...don't give up any element." Zafi walked slowly on the podium , using his wand to launch element particles into the air one by one, "Elemental magic is our mastery of the rules of the world, and it is a miraculous technique that we shape according to our own minds. This is the characteristic of elemental arrangement. Many people will say However, if you are only good at the use of three or five elements, your understanding of the world is not comprehensive, and it is even more difficult to appreciate the beauty of the world. I don’t think anyone You don’t have the ambition of being a magician emperor or even a magician sage in your heart? But among all the emperor’s elemental magicians so far, do you know who is proficient in one element?”

"But teacher, how to solve the elemental affinity?"

"That's just a difficulty that you will encounter when you are in the novice stage. Let me give you an example. In terms of cooking, everyone is good at different ingredients. It is very likely to miss. This is related to talent, no problem, but in the end it is determined by your cognitive ability to elements. The emergence of the technology of element qualitative change is the biggest blow to the theory of element affinity. There are elements you are not familiar with, but there is absolutely no element that you cannot use."

The student sat down gratefully, seemingly troubled by this for a long time.

"Then, after talking about so much theoretical knowledge, of course I know that this is not the only reason for you to come here." Zafi smiled at the students, "Next, I will actually show you the effect of those theoretical knowledge. Remember "Although magic has theoretical support, it always achieves achievements by virtue of actual effects, don't close the door and think for yourself, and run more on the training ground, it will be good for you."

The students smiled knowingly.

Then, Zafi began to verify the theory one by one. His teaching was very detailed, and he even taught the key points of the arrangement of elements without reservation. Compared with Soygo and Geer, he did a better job. Quite excellent, but to Lu Ning, he somewhat... lacks their unique personality.
