Celestial Mage

Chapter 128 Some disgraceful little tricks (15)

noon.

The mages were arranged to eat in the main hall of the Golden Rose Castle.

In this world, class status is an almost unbreakable concept, and mages who pursue wisdom naturally cannot be alone.

Only official mages are eligible to dine in the main hall of the castle. Most apprentices of sorcery can only eat in the side hall, and a small number of apprentices who enter the main hall of the castle can only stand behind the dining table as attendants.

There are two huge long rectangular tables in the main hall, with enough seats for about 600 people.

The higher the level of the mage, the closer to the top of the main hall, and the newly promoted low-level official mage can only sit in the bottom seat by the door.

Although Luo Sen is a low-ranking person, he is a divine seal mage and has some status, so he was assigned to the middle and lower seats.

Although Serrandis is his female companion, her status is higher than Rosen's, and her seat is five seats higher than Rosen's.

Before the mage took his seat, the dishes had been prepared, five servings per person, served in polished silver tableware, and tightly covered with lids.

After the official mage took his seat, the apprentice attendant behind him stepped forward to spread the tablecloth for him, fastened the napkin, and then politely retreated 2 meters behind him, ready to accept the call of the official mage in front of him at any time.

Although the apprentices are only doing ordinary servant work, because they are all serving official mages, the competition is still very fierce.

It is said that in order to give themselves the opportunity to become the dining servant of a powerful mage, many apprentices even spent money to clear up the relationship.

After all the official mages were seated, the real big shots of Silvermoon Castle also took their seats.

Their position is at the top of the hall, a row of long tables, with a total of ten positions, the most central one is naturally the Earl, Faerun on the left, and Master Bilegu on the right.

Luo Sen saw it secretly, and said, "The three ancient families in the Yellow River Highlands also look like three parts of the world in the mage world."

Outside, there is Master Fuller.

He sat on the right side of Bilegu, and looked at the other six mages. All of them were gray-haired, but they were all high-level mages, and their spellcasting stars were all above 13 stars, which looked enviable.

Rosen knew their names and their general past, but they had no contact with each other, and naturally they had no friendship.

At this time, after careful observation, it was found that among the 10 people, there were only two temple mages, which accounted for a small number of the 10 seats, and the number of spellcasting stars was also the lowest.

For example, Bi Legu only has 13 stars.

Rosen recalled the past in his heart and came to a conclusion.

'The status of a mage is high, and there are many futures to choose from. There are always a small number of mages who really fight for the gods. '

He observed the other mages on the seat below one by one, especially the official mage emblem on his chest.

The same phenomenon was soon discovered, and the number of temple mages only accounted for about half of the total.

After looking around, I couldn't help thinking.

'Mages are indeed the smartest group of people. As soon as the breeze picked up, they immediately noticed it and decisively sought advantages and avoided disadvantages. '

'In addition, Huangshui Highland is really a small place. There are only more than 600 official mages in the whole highland, and there are only 50 high-level mages, and there is only one master. '

It's normal to think about it. After all, it's just an earldom in the north, and above the earl is the marquis, and above the marquis is the guardian duke of the four realms, and above the duke is the god-emperor Deuta IX.

It is said that the number of human races in the entire Golden Land has reached hundreds of millions, while the total number of people in the entire Yellow River Highland is less than one million, and most of them are rural population.

So, don't look at him in this hall as only the middle and bottom, but if you consider all the people in the highlands, his current status is already higher than [-]% of the people.

Of course, people like to compare themselves with people in their own circle, but in the mage circle, Rosen is still on the periphery.

While observing, he suddenly felt an unfriendly gaze. His heart was shocked, and he immediately turned his head to look, only to find that it was the middle-level mage Horus.

Seeing Rosen looking back, Horus immediately turned his head nonchalantly.

Rosen's heart moved: "Is this Fubosi confidant still jealous of me?"Or, this is Fubosi's order, let him think of ways to suppress me. '

After careful consideration, he felt that the former was more likely, because Fubos had many means to suppress him, and there was no need to rely on Horus, a close friend.

Besides, he is a divine seal mage, and he hasn't jumped around recently. With Fubosi's reckless character, he won't be staring at him all the time.

'It seems that this guy is also a jealous maniac, I hope he can take it easy. '

At this time, as the original initiator of the Flower Society and the most accomplished mage in the highlands, Earl Omicia spoke.

She used a group spiritual language, and her voice resounded clearly above the hall.

"Under the witness of the God of Gold, in the name of the Omexia family, I initiated this annual flower society. It seems that 35 years have passed in just a blink of an eye."

"For God, 35 years is not a long time, but in terms of the short life of a mortal, 35 years is a long time."

"In 35 years, I have grown from a high-ranking mage to an archmage, and from young to old. In the seats off the court, there are many familiar old faces missing, but there are also many young and promising new faces."

"What makes me most gratified is that during the 20 years I have been in charge of Silvermoon Castle, the number of official mages in Huangshui Highland has increased from 430 to 621 today, and the average mana level has increased from low-level to low-level. First-class, the average spellcasting ability has also increased from 5 stars to 6 stars."

Hearing this, Rosen sighed inwardly: "Well, I'm almost at the average level now." '

The count didn't talk nonsense, and after introducing the basic situation in a few words, she said, "Okay, it's almost time, let's start lunch."

As soon as the words fell, the apprentice who had been standing behind took a few steps forward, and with the hand of the mage, lifted the silver cover on the dining table for the official mages, and then poured fine wine into the wine glass.

Rosen glanced left and right, and found that the dishes of the mages were different. The ingredients of the five dishes in front of him were obviously not as good as those of the middle and high-level mages, and the quality of drinks, snacks, and tableware were all inferior.

He looked at it secretly curling his lips: "In order to distinguish the ranks of mages, it is troublesome enough to always reflect the superiority of high-ranking mages."

But no matter what, it was a free lunch invited by the earl, and it tasted really good. Rosen ate very happily.

When most of the people were seven or eight percent full, the voice of Master Falun came from above.

Phelan's voice was gentle and thick, and he spoke slowly. Just by listening to his voice, it was easy to imagine him as a respectable old gentleman.

"My fellow mages, this afternoon is the time for paper reports. There will be many generous mages sharing their wonderful magic research results."

"So, I have to remind everyone to drink less alcohol to keep a clear head, so as not to miss the delicious fruit of wisdom."

These words elicited a burst of low laughter, but it did serve as a reminder. Many mages who originally wanted to drink a few more sips also put down their wine glasses.

"There is another thing to inform everyone, that is, there are a lot of papers submitted this year, the number has reached a full 249, and there are as many as 60 papers that have passed the review."

"And the learning only lasts three days. Therefore, we will not have too long to prepare for each mage."

"According to the plan formulated by the Mage Guild, the situation is like this."

"High-level spell papers will be divided into 30 minutes, intermediate-level 20 minutes, and low-level 15 minutes. Basic logic papers that are not directly related to the power of magic spells will be published on the last day."

Upon hearing this, Rosen's heart sank slightly, and he had a bad premonition.

He suddenly thought of the fire incident reported by Malkiri, and this bad premonition became even stronger.

"Hmm~ The atmosphere of conspiracy is getting stronger and stronger, I feel like I'm being targeted."

However, Rosen was not worried at all that he would be hacked, because the Earl had the highest status in the society.

The earl already knew the achievements of himself and his mentor, and the mages of the temple sect basically knew it. If they dared to blackmail this, then there would be no order in the mage world of Huangshui Highland.

He guessed that the other party probably wanted to use some dirty tricks to disgust them and make himself and his mentor make a big fool of themselves during the speech.

It is very likely that the other party intends to ask sharp questions about the loopholes in their papers during their speeches.

If you can't answer it, you will lose face, and the results of your thesis will be questioned.

However, it is not easy to ask a sharp question with sufficient offensive power.

Sufficient time is necessary to study his thesis carefully.

That's why he and his tutor were put on the third day.

'Hey, Phelan is such an old cunt.But it's not enough to cheat me. '

It's true that Fei Lun is the president of the guild, but he can't block the sky with one hand in the guild.

He can do tricks, and Rosen can also find connections!
Back to topic.

The dissertation report is done in the Wisdom Hall, starting at 1 pm.

From after lunch to 1 o'clock, it is time to prepare for the mage.

After quickly filling their stomachs, the mages rushed to the Wisdom Hall.

When they arrived at the main hall, after taking their assigned seats, Rosen greeted Serendis and rushed to the backstage of the main hall to look for Master Fuller.

"Old sir, have my thesis and my supervisor's paper passed the review?"

Fuller was busy making the final preparations. After hearing the voice, he didn't speak, and directly stuffed a piece of paper into Rosen's arms.

"This is the schedule, first check if yours is in it."

After a quick scan, Rosen flipped through his daily schedule at three o'clock in the afternoon on the third day, only to see the two papers "Theory of Flowing Numbers" and "Laws of Moving Stars".

'Hey, it's exactly what I guessed. '

But if you want to say that this arrangement is wrong, it seems to be out of the question.

The status of the mentor and himself in the mage world is in the middle and lower ranks, and there are still two or three hundred mages ahead of the two.

Everyone has status and status, and when they want to publish papers, they all involve the application of magic techniques, so it is natural to put them first.

If it is like this every year, there is nothing to say.

However, Rosen learned that in previous years, the classification of papers was not so simple and crude. In previous years, the papers were classified according to the importance of the papers.

It's normal to think about it.

As a high-level mage, you talk about a very unpopular high-level spell. Even if you talk about it in a hype, how can it be more important than a powerful and general-purpose mathematical tool.

Therefore, this is Faerun, or the scholar sent the mage to make trouble against himself.

The purpose, it should be factional strife, I don't want Rosen, a temple mage, to be in the limelight at the academy.

"How is it, is there?" Master Fuller's voice came from the side.

Rosen spread his hands: "Yes, but it was placed at three o'clock in the afternoon on the last day."

Fuller frowned: "How is it possible? Who is so blind?!"

He listened to the core content of Liushu for a while in the morning, and immediately knew that this was a very, very important achievement, and it would definitely bring about a big change in the logic law system.

It's fine to put such an important result on the last day, but to put it in the last few games, what a brain problem!

"You wait, I'll go to the count for help!"

He took the schedule and left.

After about half an hour, he rushed back with a happy face.

"The count already knew about this, and she also felt that such an arrangement was ridiculous."

"So, she used the exemption order to put your tutor's "Theory of Flowing Numbers" in the third place this afternoon. Your "Law of Moving Stars" was placed in the fourth place."

"There's not much time, you and your instructor hurry up and get ready."

Rosen nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll get ready now."

When walking towards the outer hall, he couldn't help but think again: "But if the question is only aimed at, why set fire to the paper?"

A thought flashed: "Understood, I want us to give a speech without script!"

This kind of rigorous academic paper is extremely difficult to give a speech without a script, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a bad situation of logical confusion.

If someone asks you another question and disrupts your thoughts, you will probably be stunned on the spot.

If this is the case, the speech they put in the carriage must have been stolen.

　Today I will finish writing the climax of this plot at once, so the fifth watch.
