Chapter 273: The Wizard Tower is Initially Completed

Before the start of the new semester, Viscount Lightkendal, Deputy Minister of Education for the City Hall, convened all principals of junior and senior colleges.

He put forward the aim of all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, requiring each school to offer at least ten ideological and moral education classes per semester and to select the student with the best moral character in the school each year for preferential treatment.

The student with the best moral character would be personally received by him and would also undergo the strictest scrutiny, having priority to enter the church.

This was indeed confirmed by the attending priests from the Church of the Morning Goddess, the Church of the God of Storms, and others.

Young people are easily tempted and are potential followers of hellish demons, so strict education and control are necessary.

This is the view of the church, and they will also send missionaries to regularly visit various schools to preach doctrines and detect demons, doing their best to prevent the tragedy of the Nobili Noble Academy from recurring.

Regarding sports, Deputy Minister Lightkendal designated collision ball as a key focus, requiring every school to offer relevant courses and form its own collision ball team.

The stadium, invested in and constructed by the City Hall, is about to be put into use, and collision ball will be played there as a signature sport of Drake City, with citizens encouraged to come and watch.

The City Hall’s Ministry of Education will host the Drake Middle School Collision Ball Tournament.

Schools will register, and the winning school will have the honor of being personally received by Mayor Bordeaux and will receive a considerable prize.

The school will also receive special attention, and the runner-up and third-place teams will also receive substantial rewards.

Students who perform exceptionally well will receive certain preferential treatment when applying for higher education, and particularly outstanding students can be recommended to join the City Defense Army.

Then, Viscount Lightkendal directly stated that Knight Wildekland had awakened his fighting spirit and, as an instructor in the City Defense Army, was proficient in all the rules of collision ball, so he could not participate in the middle school collision ball tournament.

If he wished, he could represent the City Defense Army.

At the same time, the City Hall Security Department, the City Defense Army, and some major nobles would also form their own collision ball teams and regularly hold matches at the Drake City Stadium.

The principal of Mirdis Junior Academy was full of confidence.

Although Lord Wildekland was forbidden from participating in the competition, and Miss Lilith Kendal could not participate because she was female, they still had Knight Angol!

Besides, not being able to participate in the competition didn’t mean they couldn’t serve as coaches to guide their training.

“The championship is ours, Mirdis Junior Academy!”

The new principal of Nobilio Noble Academy knew his chance had come.

This was the time to demonstrate his abilities.

Nobilio Noble Academy had abundant resources, and there were many excellent students.

Although they couldn’t compare to Lord Wildekland and Miss Lilith Kendal, they had a large number of mid-to-high-level students, and with a little training, they would definitely be strong contenders for the championship.

Last year, the school’s scandal and serious incidents occurred, and he wasn’t the principal yet.

Now the school is in ruins waiting to be rebuilt, so let me lead Nobilio Noble Academy to glory!

Several official wizards personally took action, dozens of wizard apprentices assisted, and hundreds of warriors and knights were mobilized.

The construction of the wizard tower went very smoothly, and it has already taken initial shape.

The six main wizard towers have already risen from the ground and are under construction on the fourth floor.

Aside from the interior not being furnished, they already look quite impressive from the outside.

Wizard towers have specific rules; newly promoted official wizards can only reside in four-story wizard towers, signifying that the wizard has just passed through the three stages of first-level, second-level, and third-level wizard apprentice and officially entered the ranks of official wizards.

Second-level wizards can reside in five-story wizard towers, and so on.

The six wizard towers built in Kendal Manor can only be constructed to four stories; if Wizard Stardashan wishes, he can add an additional floor himself, this is the rule.

Wizard Jielly moved all the items from the family’s basement, which was not difficult with a storage bag.

The magic gathering array had already been set up, and the magic power concentration here was richer than in Drake City.

Whenever Wizard Jielly thought of the boxes of magic stones that Wizard Stardashan had brought out, she felt a pang of heartache.

One must know that this continent was different from the Wizard Islands; magic stones were a scarce resource here.

However, it was good.

Such a great effort was not in vain; the environment here was indeed very good.

The wizard towers of official wizards were all equipped with magic pools, which were sufficient for her cultivation.

The top floor is the control room and the residence of the official wizard.

The third floor is the laboratory, the second and first floors are the residences of wizard apprentices, and also include a dining hall, training room, etc.

The basement floor is where the magic pool is located and is generally not opened.

The wizard tower owner can only use half of the magic from the magic pool; the other half needs to be supplied to the outer array, primarily to ensure the safety and secrecy of this wizard cultivation sanctuary.

Besides the wizard towers, there are also several rows of houses and a market on the periphery, which are prepared for those independent wizard apprentices.

Each wizard tower only has five slots, and a second-level wizard’s tower has seven slots; this is the rule.

Whether a wizard apprentice can reside and study in a wizard tower not only requires the approval of the wizard tower’s owner but also requires submitting an identity certificate for review by other wizards, with more than half needing to pass.

After all, this continent is the territory of the divine churches, and wizards are not welcome, so being cautious is never wrong.

The Kendal family’s slots were already full, and even somewhat insufficient, with some less qualified wizard apprentices having to reside in the outer residential area.

Wizard Stardashan’s wizard tower had five floors, and with the impetus of a large number of magic stones, its construction proceeded very smoothly.

The wizard towers here are far from comparable to those on the Wizard Continent.

For Wizard Stardashan, who had resided in an official wizard tower on the Wizard Continent, he saw it very clearly and tried his best to make his wizard tower more standardized.

His first slot went to his daughter, Mojes, the second to his grandson, Little Weir, the third was taken by Lilith, the fourth went to Rhea, and the fifth was bought at a high price by Yuna Peck, leaving the remaining two slots temporarily reserved by him.

However, Wizard Stardashan tragically discovered that although his wizard tower was the best here and had the richest resources, the actual number of residents was the lowest.

Except for himself, only Yuna Peck moved in, bringing her housekeeper.

His daughter and grandson, Lilith, and Rhea, who had taken up slots for free, only visited once, chose a room each, and never came again.

You ask why? Heh heh, they are cultivating perfectly well in the All-Purpose Shop in the city, so why would they bother to travel all the way to this remote place outside the city?

You see, Mojes also has to take care of her daughter and husband; she only has time to cultivate at night.

As for her grandson and Lilith, they are still students and also have affairs of the All-Purpose Shop to handle during the day.

As for Rhea, how could this little infatuated girl leave Little Weir?

She is now afraid that Lilith will make a move first and snatch her Brother Weir away, so she is constantly keeping an eye on him.

Trying to get her to move away? Heh heh, no way!

“Teacher, I want to officially join the All-Purpose Shop,” Jialisi said directly after experiencing a few days of life in the wizard tower.

“No,” Wizard Jielly directly vetoed.

“I know your little thoughts, but the All-Purpose Shop is a semi-public, semi-governmental organization.

Sometimes it needs to deal with the church.

You are a pure wizard and are not suitable for staying in that place for a long time.”

“Then why don’t Lilith and Teacher Weir have this concern, and also Zhurant?” Jialisi grumbled unhappily.

The environment here was much better than her family’s previous cultivation environment, and the atmosphere was quite good, but unfortunately, the level of these people made her have no desire to communicate with them.

The teacher’s level is very high, but she is only good at her own level.

Her teaching of disciples, apart from letting me meditate and providing me with some common learning materials, and helping me solve problems when I ask, everything else relies on myself.

Jialisi also learned through communication with others that other wizards teach their disciples in the same way; the master leads the way, but cultivation is a personal matter.

Everyone is like this, what more do you want?

“Lilith and Weir are both only first-level wizard apprentices; they have no magic power reaction on them at all.

Moreover, they also have the identity of senior knights as a shield, both bearing the insignia of nobility, and with their prominent reputations, there naturally won’t be any problems.

As for Zhurant, when have you ever seen him go out on missions?

He is a secretarial staff personally trained by Wildekland.”

Thinking of Zhurant, Wizard Jielly couldn’t help but admire Little Weir’s methods, who painstakingly cultivated a semi-illiterate person into a scholar-like individual, good at thinking and analyzing: “Moreover, Zhurant doesn’t have his own residence here.

If he leaves the All-Purpose Shop, he will return to the ranks of independent wizards.

You should know that Wizard Snake has already left and will not be back for a short time.”

But this independent wizard has excellent learning conditions that we, wizard apprentices with a lineage, do not.

Jialisi was somewhat indignant.

Why could Zhurant stay in the All-Purpose Shop and listen to the guidance of Teacher Weir and Miss Lilith at any time, while she only had three months, and it was almost up?

“Then how about I stay in the wizard tower during the day and in the All-Purpose Shop at night?” Jialisi began to bargain with her teacher.

Anyway, except for holidays, the two theoretical experts were not around during the day, and she had nothing to do.

Night was the best time for learning.

But I’m still very envious of Zhurant, what should I do?

That scoundrel actually has a complete study plan, even taking care of some small details, while I only have general guidance and can participate in their discussions, provided I can join in.

She has now learned shorthand and can fully record their discussions, but at that time, trying to participate was out of the question; her foundation was too poor, and she felt she couldn’t interject.

She would take out parts of her notes that she didn’t understand or was unsure about and ask her teacher, Wizard Jielly.

Through such questions and answers, Jialisi found that her progress was indeed very fast, and Wizard Jielly was also very satisfied with her growth.

“Jialisi, it’s not that I don’t want you to learn from the two wizard apprentices, Weir and Lilith, but sometimes too much is as bad as too little.

You just need to learn their learning methods.

People are still different, and everyone has their own path; others’ paths are others’, and may not be suitable for you.”

“Hmm, Teacher Weir also said the same, so he only helps me point out the general direction, and I have to complete the rest myself.

Most of what I learn is what we hear when they are researching and discussing.”

Jialisi had been quite disheartened over the past two months.

Whatever they casually came up with was enough for her to digest for a long time.

But thankfully, she could use these things to show off to other wizard apprentices and relieve her own pressure.

“Alright, child, it seems you really can’t focus on studying here.

One month, after one more month, when your study period is over, then come back.”

Wizard Jielly was also helpless, because this was what everyone had agreed upon initially, and she had no good way to break it.

Jialisi nodded repeatedly.

Under the guidance of teachers Weir and Lilith, in addition to solidifying her foundation, she also learned several improved cantrips.

Although their effects varied in size, they were quite interesting, and she gained a lot.

However, Jialisi didn’t know that Little Weir and Lilith had gained even more.

Turning their theoretical research into practical, usable things required constant verification, and Zhurant was not good at this.

Jialisi was fortunate enough to become a test subject and received a lot of benefits; otherwise, such improved versions of cantrip templates would not be so easy to obtain.

Equivalent exchange, according to the wizards’ code of conduct, such improved versions of cantrip templates are worth a considerable amount of low-grade magic stones.
