Chapter 25 24: Observers of the Sky Cladding

Wilson didn't know how much of what Nolen said in the carriage was true and how false.

But even if there was only one in [-] chance of success, he would still let this research project proceed smoothly.

Please, this is a revolutionary research topic that can subvert the existing rune system and open up a new era of magic circle science!
When he thinks of all the possibilities that will happen after success, even as steady as he is, his heart surges and he is so excited that he can't sleep at night.

Early the next morning, he took the application form and knocked on the offices of the society's management one by one. Using his status as a director, he gave the green light all the way, and it only took him one morning to apply for the research project.

Along with the application, there was also a letter of introduction to Nolen that was agreed to last night to go to the Mage Academy.

……

Linfeng City's upper town, Mage Academy.

"My name is Fleet Magus. Are you the alchemist who came to visit the academy today?"

At the entrance of the college, a young man wearing a green robe put down the letter in his hand and looked at Nolen suspiciously.

"Yes, my name is Noren Visches."

Nolen replied, "I came to visit the Mage Academy for research on alchemy. What's wrong? Do you have any questions?"

"No... I just think you are too young." Fleet put away the envelope, "The alchemists I have met are all slovenly middle-aged men in their thirties and above with unshaven beards."

"Haha, the age may be true, but the last few sentences are a bit stereotyped."

Nolen smiled, "You look younger than me. Are you a student here?"

Fleet nodded: "I am a second-level student of the Wind Branch."

"I thought the person responsible for receiving me was a teacher from the college."

"The teacher left this task... no, gave it to me."

"Oh? But it doesn't matter. I don't need any professional explanation. You just need to help me lead the way."

"Where do you want to visit?"

"Visit the place where you usually practice spells. I want to observe the process of the mages casting spells."

"That's fine, come with me."

Fleet led the way and asked casually: "By the way, you're not a mage, right?"

Alchemist is just a title. As long as the alchemy theory is passed, even mages and knights can become alchemists.

"Yes, I am an alchemist."

"Then why do you want to watch the process of the mage casting spells? You can neither absorb magic nor control magic. You can't learn spells anyway, so what's the point of watching us cast spells?"

"Although I cannot control magic power, I can vaguely detect the movement of magic power."

Nolen explained, "And there is a discipline in alchemy called magic circle science, which allows spells to be activated in the form of magic circles. Even if you are not a mage, you can use spells."

"Tch..." Flit was obviously not interested in magic formations and sneered:

"I heard that you alchemists need to spend a lot of energy and materials to draw a slightly more advanced magic circle. Is there really any practical value in spending so much time? It's better to find a genuine mage to help you calculate it. ”

Nolen shook his head: "The number of mages is too small, and mages also have their own limitations.

"Most mages have only one type of elemental adaptability and can only cast one type of elemental spells, while alchemists can draw different types of spells. This is our unique advantage."

"That's nice to say." Flit murmured, "Spells are a mysterious and noble skill that only the darlings of gods, one in a million, can master. A layman is just learning a superficial lesson, and actually claims that he has an advantage... …”

Nolen heard his muttering and didn't argue, just shrugged and smiled.

Before coming here, he had heard Wilson mention that in fact, mages did not have a friendly attitude towards alchemists, especially alchemists who studied magic circles.

As the rarest type of extraordinary beings, mages can control magic, cast spells, and cause phenomena in the world. They can be said to be the most gifted beings among human beings.

The status of mages is also extraordinary. In fact, in the ancient times of human civilization, mages were worshiped by the world as the favorites of gods.

Even with the advancement of the times, in-depth research on the nature of magic has been carried out, and the mystery of the mage has been gradually unveiled, his status has still increased.

After all, they are not the mascots of gods and goddesses. High-level mages are really capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Roland I, who unified the human realm and created the Roland Empire with his own hands, was said to be a "sage" level mage who had surpassed the ninth level.

One can imagine how arrogant every genius who becomes a mage would feel in such an environment.

Spells make them born noble, and they have the ability to easily control the life and death of others, which is proof that they are different from ordinary people.

But now a group of ignorant alchemists came over to study their innate skills, trying to steal their proud privileges with mortal wisdom?
I really don't know what to do!

This is the true inner thought of most traditional mages, and in the Roland Empire, traditional mages account for the vast majority.

Therefore, even if he had a letter of introduction from the Alchemy Society, the people at the Mage Academy did not give him a good look. The teacher who was originally responsible for handling the matter directly gave the task of leading the way to his students.

Even students are not friendly to the alchemists who come to visit the academy.

The great prejudice is evident.

However, this does not matter to Nolen, he has a clear personal purpose for visiting the academy.

What you think of alchemists has nothing to do with me, I just know that you are all my experience babies.

Wait until I copy all the spells you have learned so hard and turn them into knowledge points in the Book of Omniscience...

When I put the new generation of magic runes into large-scale application, magic tools will become more and more popular...

When they discovered overnight that they were no longer special, the alchemist who had once been looked down upon by them had become a hot character...

Jie Jie, think about them, they are a bit pitiful.

Nolen was thinking about the future and didn't take the student's rude words to heart.

The pattern needs to be opened up.

However, since he is his host, I still hope that he can show some energy to avoid causing trouble for himself.

Thinking of this, he took out a small purse from his arms and threw it casually:
"By the way, the training of a mage is very hard, right? This is a little greeting gift. I wish you success in your future studies and an early promotion."

"what?"

Fleet didn't even know that he could get a tip for guiding him, so he thought to himself, I'm not a waiter in a tavern. Are you looking down on me by giving me money?

He frowned, and originally wanted to scold Nolen, "The Mage Academy is not a place for you to show off," but he accidentally glanced at the mouth of the money bag, only to find that there were several golden coins inside!

His eyes suddenly straightened.

I am super, these alchemists are all wealthy!

In fact, his family was neither aristocratic nor wealthy.It's just that I was lucky enough to have the talent of a mage, so I was able to study at the Mage Academy.

Although he is a noble mage in front of outsiders, he is at the bottom of the academy in terms of grades and family background. This is why his teacher bosses him around and gives him the guiding task that he is too lazy to take on.

Originally, he was still worried about his cultivation progress. With these gold coins, he would be able to obtain better cultivation resources.

Thinking of this, Fleet swallowed, silently and quickly stuffed the money bag into his arms, and even looked around quickly with a guilty conscience, and then said:
"Aha, that's so polite... By the way, what's your name?"

"Noren."

"Okay Nolen, I will take you to the training ground of our academy now. The training ground here is different from the general training ground. There is a special spell barrier there, which can effectively prevent the aftermath of the spell from causing harm to others..."

After collecting the tip, Fleet became obviously more enthusiastic. Nolen listened to his introduction along the way with a smile and sighed in his heart.

It seems that the favorite of the gods will still bend down for five gold coins.

Now he can understand why Harrison can rely on controlling massive wealth to build his own strong connections and power.

As long as they integrate into society, even extraordinary people are just ordinary people who know how to eat, drink, and need food, rice, oil, and salt.They also have their own lives, their own worries, and their own emotions and desires.

Life is not just about fighting and killing. As long as you master the corresponding weaknesses, you can easily control them.

While talking, they came to the periphery of the training ground. Through the railings, they could see the mage students in the training ground practicing spellcasting under the guidance of their teachers.

Like Fleet, these mage students also wear cyan robes.

Fleet smiled and said, "You're lucky. It's outdoor practice time for the senior wind branch. Do you want me to take you around the training ground?"

"No, there is no need to disturb their class." Nolen looked through the railings at the students who were casting spells in the training ground.

"This distance...is enough."

As he finished speaking, a student raised his hand while mumbling something. Light blue wind elements gathered around him, and then he floated leisurely.

There is no need to summon or activate the magic circle, just chant the magic spell, and the mage can complete the release of the spell.

It is said that some high-level mages have even more powerful spell-casting methods. They can recite spells silently in their hearts, and can even perform two tasks at once, releasing two spells at the same time.

In the eyes of outsiders, they can control the wind and rain with just a wave of their hands. They can indeed be called the gods' darlings and walking miracles.

Nolen silently watched the mages in the training ground who began to cast spells one after another, and the pages of omniscience in his mind also turned.

The third-level wind spell "Levitation" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +8.

The second-level wind spell "Acceleration" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +4.

The first-level wind spell "Wind Pressure" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +2.

The second-level wind spell "Resist Wind Ring" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +4.

The fourth-level wind spell "Wind Blade" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +16.

The fourth-level wind spell "Flying" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +16.

The third-level thunder spell "Paralyzing Electric Field" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +8
The third-level wind spell "Flow Perception" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +8.

……

Looking at the bustling training ground below, the corners of Nolen's mouth couldn't help but rise.

It feels so good. Is this what free prostitution feels like?
They were all spells I had never seen before and were stolen.

Although they are all low-level spells, they are more powerful than others.

He even recorded thunder spells. The thunder element is an allomorphic element of the wind element, and those who can control it are even rarer.

Only one out of every five wind mages can cast thunder spells.

Looking at the book of omniscience that kept turning the pages in his mind, he felt quite happy at the moment.

Sure enough, coming to the Master Academy was the right choice. It was a worthwhile trip and a worthwhile trip!
Fleet on the side glanced at him strangely. Wasn't he just watching the wizard cast a spell? Why was he so happy?

He looks like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world... he is stupid and has too much money.

This was his first impression of the young alchemist.

After a while, the end of get out of class bell rang, and the students from the Wind Department branch filed out.

"Where do you plan to visit next?" Fleet asked.

"No..." Nolan wiped his mouth without saying anything, "Are there any students from other branches coming to the training ground this afternoon?"

"There should be, right? After all, there is still a class."

"Then I'll keep waiting."

Not even a moment did I regret the departure of the students from the Wind Branch. The one who rushed to the training ground immediately was——

Students from the Fire Branch!
The first-level fire spell "Ignite" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +2.

The third-level fire spell "Fire Wall" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +8.

The second-level fire spell "Fire Protection" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +4.

The first-level light spell "Flash" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +2.

The second-level light spell "Purification" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +4.

……

Throughout the sunny afternoon, Nolen just leaned on the railing comfortably, admiring the students performing spells in the training ground opposite, and stayed there until the evening.

As the last bell rang, Fleet reminded: "It's time for today's visit."

He thought he was going to accompany Nolen to visit the school all afternoon and introduce him to teachers at the academy. Unexpectedly, he just watched the training ground all afternoon?

Heck, are you here to do errands or to fish?
Although he has no complaints about this, he can get a tip of five gold coins just by standing with him for an afternoon. There is no more profitable business in the world than this.

But sure enough, this alchemist named Nolen is really strange!

"Thank you for leading the way today. Goodbye, classmate Fleet."

After observing and recording so many spells, Nolen was also satisfied. He waved to Fleet with a smile, hummed a tune and left the Mage Academy.

Everything is in its own plan.

After recording the required spells, he now only needs to wait patiently for Harrison to deliver the raw materials he ordered before he can start making the Valkyrie backpack.

It is said that this batch of goods was shipped from outside. Calculating the time, it should arrive in two days.

With a leisurely attitude, Nolen waited for another two days. The next morning, he was awakened by a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw that the old wolf was waiting for him at the door.

"Hey, the goods have arrived?"

Nolen said hello, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

However, the old wolf's face was very solemn and he whispered: "Let's go into the house and talk.

"I have some bad news for you about this."
