The Lord of Ashes

Green is a civilian apprentice, which is a rare example not only in Holy Tower Academy, but also in the entire wizarding world.

The Jizhiyuan Holy Tower has only been established for more than two hundred years. Whether it is the foundation of the academy or the quality of its apprentices, it is not even the slightest bit worse than those of the old Holy Towers.

When Thane first came to the Holy Tower Academy, Johnny, the grade director, said that the Holy Tower of Green Origin was not much different from the Holy Tower of Dawn along the southern coast of the Wizarding World.

This is basically bragging and putting money on your face.

The gap between the two holy towers is actually larger than people imagine.

In the previous three consecutive regional Holy Tower Academy Wars, they were ranked at the bottom.

While the tower owners and deans of the Blue Origin Holy Tower were embarrassed and upset, one of the deans made a bold proposal: "Since the outstanding noble apprentices have been absorbed by other holy towers, why should we Don’t you look at the civilians within the Holy Tower’s sphere of influence?”

This dean is a third-level great magician who has traveled around the wizarding world for many years and has rich experience.

Although his personal strength is not the strongest among the three deans, his qualifications and wisdom cannot be underestimated.

Including the great Master of the Blue Origin Holy Tower, he would listen to the other party's suggestions with an open mind on many occasions.

The selection of magic apprentices in the wizarding world is often only conducted among aristocratic groups.

This is because the nobles' ancestors or bloodlines must have the blood of knights and magicians above the first level.

Under the premise of the theory of biological evolution and the genetic inheritance of species, the initial mental strength standards of noble children have a greater chance of meeting the admission requirements of Holy Tower College.

Moreover, the learning of magic is far more time-consuming and resource-intensive than fighting spirit.

Knowledge is not something you can get by sweating on the training ground.

In that case, all you can get is muscles and a strong body, which have nothing to do with the elemental knowledge that magicians need to master.

Therefore, it is impossible for commoners with poor families to support the entry-level expenses of a magic apprentice while delving into the path of truth.

Not to mention a magic apprentice, it is not easy for a civilian knight who is not a noble to find a bright road.

Who can understand the bitterness of the civilian knights.

On the other hand, those aristocratic knights from well-off families not only mastered top-notch fighting qi skills from the beginning, but also had various potions and the corresponding flesh and blood of World of Warcraft to nourish their bodies.

This is something civilian knights cannot envy.

Sometimes I have to admit that one's origin determines at least 40% of a person's upper limit of achievement.

The situation of Jizhiyuan Holy Tower is slightly different from other holy towers.

What's more, as a newly established Holy Tower organization, the owner of the Blue Origin Holy Tower had loaned a large amount of magic coins to the Wizards Alliance at low interest rates before establishing the Holy Tower.

Perhaps because the tower owner is a female magician, the owner of the Blue Origin Holy Tower is far more budget-conscious than the average holy tower owner, and knows how to make rational use of resources.

After the Holy Tower was established and all aspects of development were on track, looking back, I discovered that there was still a large amount of magic coins that had not been used.

This large amount of magic coins is not a small amount for a fourth-level tower owner.

When everyone thought that the tower owner would keep the money herself, no one would have thought that she would choose to invest the extra money in the construction and development of the holy tower.

As a newly built holy tower organization, the Holy Tower of Blue Origin has such a luxurious library and a rich collection of books, which shows the good intentions of the tower owner.

The dean's proposal for civilian apprenticeships was also because he knew that there was still a large amount of excess funds in Holy Tower College at this time, so he tried to mention whether some seeds of potential could be discovered among civilians.

Facts have proved that the dean’s suggestions and considerations were not wrong.

Green was one of the civilian apprentices in that batch of apprentices.

After coming to Jizhiyuan Holy Tower, not only did he not pay any admission fee, but he also received an extra subsidy of one energy crystal from the college every year.

Correspondingly, the enrollment contracts signed by apprentices such as Green and apprentices such as Thain are different.

After Thane is promoted to the first level, he needs to serve the academy for at least a hundred years.

Green and other civilian apprentices need to stay at Jizhiyuan Holy Tower Academy for a longer period of time.

If they cannot show the potential to advance to the first level, they will be persuaded to leave the college early and contribute to the peripheral industries of the college.

(PS: Because of the token of Magician Midici and the recommendation of Johnny’s grade director, Thain did not pay the admission fee to the Holy Tower, or the admission fee may have been deducted from Magician Johnny’s salary.)

There are not many civilian apprentices like Green in Jizhiyuan Holy Tower, and they have only been recruited for two terms so far.

And among civilians, there are too few qualified people with an initial mental strength of 10 or more points.

Even the official magicians of the Blue Origin Holy Tower have traveled to several human countries around the Blue Origin Holy Tower.

(PS: Jizhiyuan Holy Tower's enrollment of civilian apprentices is limited to several human countries bordering the Holy Tower, and does not go as far as the Lycian Alliance.

On the one hand, it is because the expenditure of manpower and material resources is too large, and it is difficult to be directly proportional to the effort and gain.

On the other hand, there is also a human kingdom in a distant area. The local magician organization will have the consciousness

Resistance to the Holy Tower's monopoly on talent.

Even the civilians who were looked down upon by the magician organizations were unwilling to let go. )

Senior apprentice Green gave Thane a different feeling from most civilian apprentices.

Becoming friends with Green, apart from the fact that their personalities are in sync with each other.

There is also a layer of hidden elements, which can be regarded as Thain’s own investment.

However, what surprised Thain was that after knowing Green for more than a year, the other party also knew that Thain frequently borrowed books from the library, and he should be the kind of wealthy apprentice who is not short of money.

But until now, Green has not asked Thain for money.

The only time the two of them met so far was in the same area of ​​the college library, reading quietly.

Because they both practice fire element magic and are both advanced apprentices, the books they read have certain similarities.

Thane listened quietly to Apprentice Green's opinions on the ice and fire magic he studied.

Thain has always been a qualified listener.

In class, he listened in obscurity to the knowledge and truth imparted by official magicians.

In the library, he could also listen to a senior apprentice's discoveries in the realm of truth.

It has to be said that senior apprentice Green's ice and fire fusion magic has a certain possibility of success.

Even an apprentice like Thain, who has not yet dabbled in ice magic, can feel that the other party's theory has matured.

Although Green is a nerd, that doesn't mean he's stupid.

After talking nonstop to Thain for almost half an hour, he came back to his senses and realized that Thain was holding an ancient book and was obviously leaving the library.

The narration about his theory of ice and fire magic came to an abrupt end.

Green had an embarrassed look on his face and said, "I accidentally talked too much. Are you planning to leave?"

Thain nodded and replied: "Yes, I plan to go back to the dormitory to study this light magic book."

"And my mental power and magic power have just exceeded the threshold of 70, and they need to be consolidated."

Thain's answer made a trace of envy appear on Green's face.

I saw him ask: "Have you reached the mental power of a quasi-magician above 70 points?"

Thain nodded and said, "Yes, I just broke through a few days ago."
