The Lord of Ashes

In addition to becoming familiar with the college situation and checking which public courses are useful to you.

Thain recently visited the mission hall in the west of the academy.

The mission hall is not only a place for apprentices to receive academy missions, but it can also be used to release missions after paying a certain commission.

It had been more than half a year since he left the Lycian Alliance, especially now that he had successfully entered the Holy Tower of Blue Origin. Thain felt that he needed to send a message to Earl Grant.

As Thain's only direct blood relative in the world, although Thain never said anything on the surface, deep down in his heart, he still regarded the count as more important.

In order to send the news back to the Lycian Alliance, there are two methods in front of Thain.

The first is to issue an academy mission, hire apprentices from the Holy Tower of Origin, and go to Grant to receive the letter.

The second is to use the academy's more advanced magical messengers to deliver letters.

The former is relatively cheap, and some middle and low-level apprentices with low strength will be interested in this kind of mission with a relatively long journey.

Because this is also a process for them to travel and increase their knowledge, and they can also earn a decent amount of employment fees.

The disadvantage is that the duration is extremely slow. With the strength of a senior apprentice, Thain spent half a year coming all the way to the Holy Tower of Jizhiyuan.

If those apprentices with lower strength were allowed to deliver the letter, it would probably take close to a year.

The advantage of the latter using the magic messenger is that it is extremely fast. At the flying speed of the magic messenger, it takes almost a month to help Thain send the letter back.

The disadvantage is that the cost is extremely high. To deliver a letter, you actually need a high-grade energy crystal or a magic coin.

After thinking for a long time, Thain decided to use the magic messenger.

It was also during this letter delivery incident that Thain probably learned that the exchange ratio of magic coins and high-level energy crystals in the Holy Tower of Origin of Blue was 1:1.

This reminded Thain of how he had exchanged a low-level recovery potion for a magic coin when he was in Petite City. He really made a profit.

A letter that was not lengthy was given by Thain to the apprentice on duty in the mission hall.

Although most of the magic apprentices in the Holy Tower of Blue Origin are the so-called "proud ones of heaven", not all of them are like Thain and have no shortage of magic coins and energy crystals to spend.

Knowledge has a price, especially those expensive paid courses taught by formal magicians themselves.

No matter how rich these apprentices' families are, it is difficult to support all their expenses in the academy.

In addition to the central teaching hall of the academy, which is basically staffed by formal magicians, there are also apprentices working in the library, teaching building, mission hall, cultivation area, plantation and other places.

Simpler tasks, such as cleaning the floors and keeping Holy Tower College clean and tidy.

A slightly more complicated job is to serve in various areas and help the official magicians maintain the normal operation of the academy.

Of course, there are also some jobs that require extremely high personal qualities and abilities, such as working as an assistant to some official magicians, or performing some professional work in a World of Warcraft breeding area or plantation.

The apprentices of Jizhiyuan Holy Tower are regarded by outsiders as aloof and extremely honorable characters.

But only by joining the Holy Tower and getting to know their lives in depth, you will find that the lives of these apprentices are not so comfortable.

It can be said that the apprentices of the Holy Tower are busier than the apprentices of the general magician organization.

Of course, this busyness also represents their greater diligence.

Holy Tower Academy teaches these apprentices not only knowledge, but also other more profound things.

…

After the public courses started, Thain temporarily stopped his research plan.

Instead, he held a blank magic notebook and began to become a frequent visitor to major public classes.

It is worth mentioning that the public courses of Jizhiyuan Holy Tower are mainly prepared for intermediate, low-level and entry-level magic apprentices.

These courses, which do not require spending magic coins or academy points, are designed by the Holy Tower of Origin to better allow those magic beginners to enter the palace of elements.

As a senior apprentice, Thain went to take courses that were mostly prepared by lower-level apprentices, which undoubtedly seemed very unusual.

Many low-level apprentices in Jizhiyuan Holy Tower are curious about where this strange high-level apprentice came from and why he came to listen to these basic courses?

Thain himself didn't feel anything about the strange looks from others.

Although he also learned and absorbed a lot of basic knowledge when he was at the Black Magic Academy.

But those basic knowledge are all

It is what the black magicians teach.

You can't expect the teaching abilities of those black magicians with twisted personalities to be as good as the official magicians carefully selected by the Holy Tower of Origin of Jade.

In addition, the breadth of coverage of the Holy Tower of Blue Origin in the field of basic knowledge is definitely not comparable to that of the small black magic academy in Mensobra City.

To give the simplest example, Thain has been attending classes frequently recently, including introductory knowledge of the light system and basic explanations of alien planes. These two courses are not available at the Black Magic Academy.

Looking at this group of young apprentices who were enjoying their knowledge in the Holy Tower, Thane couldn't help but feel jealous of their situation.

What was he going through when he was as old as these lowly apprentices?

I listened to Master Corsolon's anatomy class with trepidation, fearing that I would become the next specimen on the experimental table.

Or he may be alone in a dark and oppressive underground space, performing the mandatory tasks of the academy.

The Black Magic Academy will not arrange any easy jobs for you just because you are just a low-level apprentice.

When Thane was as old as the little guys in front of him, he had already wiped the necks of more than a dozen Underdians who tried to take advantage of him.

It was also during the lectures and study at the Holy Tower of Blue Origin that Thain discovered that there was another difference between this place and the Black Magic Academy.

That was a course on the structure of alien creatures, which was a relatively unpopular course.

Although it is one of the free public courses in the academy, there are not many apprentices who take this course. Including Thain, there are only about twenty people.

Compared with large courses such as the introductory knowledge of the fire element and the introductory knowledge of the water element, one or two hundred apprentices can easily fill the classroom.

There are obviously very few apprentices taking courses in the structure of alien creatures.

At this time in the classroom, the official magician Lan Qi was teaching anatomy to the more than twenty apprentices in front of him.

Unlike the black magician Corsoron, who likes to use human corpses for dissection, Lan Qi, the official magician of the academy, uses the corpses of humanoid creatures from other worlds.

The faint smell of blood spreading in the air is very uncomfortable.

This is also the reason why few low-level apprentices take this course.

However, there are many intermediate apprentices here. More than 60% of the more than 20 people in the classroom are intermediate apprentices, and there are even two senior apprentices like Thain.
