Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster

Seeing William's gossipy eyes, Adrian almost laughed.

Of course, when a mage accepts a student, he first looks at their qualifications, and only if they have enough qualifications will they look at other things.

It has nothing to do with nobles or commoners.

The reason why Fran and Adrian are so supportive of King's College is because it is too difficult to find someone suitable to study alchemy among the nobles.

People of noble birth are more accustomed to treating alchemy as a tool.

Who would be willing to accept a student who doesn't like the career he truly loves, no matter how good his qualifications are.

And if a commoner’s child is suitable, who wants one from a noble family?

It’s too clear how Adrian came here himself.

He really didn't know if he accepted a noble child as his heir, whether the child would be lucky enough to repay the family's life-nurturing grace before becoming legendary.

Many legendary mages who came from noble families could not even touch the line of law because they owed so much, but they obviously found the door.

Most mages don't care about this because they have enough students.

The person who survives to the end and successfully rescues himself will naturally become the heir.

Master alchemists generally don't do this.

Fran and Adrian are even less likely to mess around like that.

If necessary, they would rather be their own puppets and have no interest in selling others like sheep.

They only want students from the alchemy department. The number can be large, but they must all be suitable.

Even if Adrian cannot be promoted to legend, he can still live hundreds of years!

He was indeed anxious to recruit a few students to do work, but he was not so anxious to recruit everyone.

Adrian has been watching these children from the Alchemy Academy for a long time, and the undead have been tracking them. They are very suitable in every aspect.

He always hesitated because the ransom was too expensive.

Now, William plans to hand it over to him!

This is really great.

And this was transferred directly by their creditors. All these children need to repay in the future is Adrian's magic tower.

Adrian knew very well how the Mages Association grew in those years.

Although he does not have that big ambition, he is certainly more satisfied if he can ensure the loyalty of his students.

"Alchemy requires patience and love. Of course, you must first have the qualifications." Adrian replied, "Even if they fall in love with alchemy if they can make money, they are better than most noble students.

In the eyes of many nobles, as long as you become a high-level mage, you can buy alchemical products.

They do not have the awe and love for alchemy, nor are they immersed in it, nor do they work diligently. Our school will not accept such children.

In other words, most alchemy masters will not accept students casually.

People who have no respect for alchemy will get into big trouble. "

William thought about it for a while, but he could understand it.

In this world where the will of the world is active, merits and demerits are actually calculated very quickly.

For a mage who has always been self-centered, if the student he accepts has entered the evil camp, the most he can do is to break away from him.

But as an alchemist, if you are not careful when recruiting a disciple, the unlucky student may end up taking the teacher into the abyss with him.

That's really a disaster.

When the world's will is settled, it is always detailed and rough.

He doesn't care if someone's slide into evil is self-inflicted.

It’s true if you do it and participate.

People in this world are very used to it. Since they know it will have an impact, they cut it off at the source.

Many mages don't care whether they are from the evil camp, but what they care about is whether it comes from their own will.

William smiled.

In other words, most of the alchemists who accept students, in addition to whether their qualifications are good, must also consider whether their temperament is stable enough, and it is best not to have any blood feud.

And then you have to have a love for alchemy.

No wonder Adrian accepted a student and almost became a Mission Impossible.

William glanced at Adrian.

He was obviously weighing the left and right, calculating whether the price he had to pay to recruit a few students and become the lord of this central city was worthwhile.

"Why was it so easy for Master Fran to take you in?" William asked curiously.

"Although everyone in our family has their own problems, they are not big problems." Adrian said casually, "The Temple of Knowledge does not accept evil believers, even if there are people in the family.

No one can lie in the temple.

Otherwise, how could our family have survived such a raid by the undead?

But in addition to teachers paying attention to the aspect of character, the great mages in Master Obastian's Tower were more willing to have more loyal students. I have a background in the Temple of Knowledge, but they were unwilling to accept me.

Fortunately, the teacher took a direct liking to me, and it was destined that I would be his student. "

"The Temple of Knowledge!" William sighed, "Does the moon represent curiosity?"

Adrian turned his head. The God of Knowledge also appeared thousands of years ago.

It seems that He ascended to the starry sky even later than the God of Contract.

The Silver Moon Goddess had indeed awakened at that time.

Although it is still hidden, it should be capable of causing trouble.

However, the God of Knowledge does not belong to the Silver Moon God System?

Is it just a tug-of-war?

The God of Knowledge indeed claimed to know all the book knowledge from ancient times to the present.

Could it be that the Silver Moon Goddess gave him the ancient books?

To be honest, he originally guessed it was related to the Sun God, but he didn't expect it to be Silver Moon from the chaos system.

Adrian didn't say anything. He just knew that the God of Knowledge and the Silver Moon Goddess must have a good relationship. Everything else had nothing to do with him.

His family still knows the difference between someone in the family believing in the God of Knowledge and the mage himself believing in the God of Knowledge.

There was no intention of letting him enter the temple since he was a child.

Otherwise, even Flan wouldn't accept him.

A mage should pay less attention to the affairs of gods. The more he pays attention to them, the less he will understand them.

Adrian, whose thoughts were interrupted, was about to recalculate when he heard William report a considerable reward.

The last straw came on the already shaken belief.

He was shamefully tempted.

Compared to his teacher and Hill, Adrian didn't have many space crystals at his disposal.

Although he can get it from the magic tower warehouse, sometimes people still want to do meaningless things that are just interesting.

Frank had never been in such a mood, so Adrian had no choice but to be honest.

You know, although Fran won't ask Adrian about the whereabouts of the crystal, he will ask him what he has done.

If it were medicinal materials, Flan wouldn't bother.

But regarding crystals, Fran would want to know what his students could make if they suddenly became interested in utensil alchemy.

Adrian didn't want to deal with his teacher.

It was care, the love from his parents that he had longed for since he was a child.

But if there were some high-end space crystals that he could play with casually, some of Adrian's ideas that had no other purpose than being interesting could be done!

William looked at his suddenly twitching eyelids and knew there was hope.

He quickly continued: "Look, the officials I sent, except for the few nobles who came to gild, are all ordinary officials who have been dealing with the undead all year round.

Is it easy for you to suppress the great nobles and prevent them from causing trouble to these ordinary officials?

We all know some things. If they really cause trouble, the undead will not be the unlucky ones in the end, but these ordinary officials may be implicated.

How about it? Just five years! I will definitely be able to find a suitable person to take over for you. "

"Why not Spencer? Anyone can go to the city he is in now, right?" Adrian struggled for the last time for himself.

"Legendary Holmes is responsible for guarding the legendary magic tower behind." William said frankly, "No matter how useful Naven is, he is still Spencer. It is too easy to get into trouble."

Adrian is quite familiar with these things.

William didn't need to say anything more, he sighed: "Naven is really unlucky. He was originally the most suitable, but unfortunately there are idiots in the Spencer family."

William said nothing.

If Adrian knew everything, then the patriarch of the Spencer family still failed to suppress the idiots in the family.

Although the matter did not come to pass, the words may have spoken first.

It's a pity that although the Spencer family is unlikely to inherit his throne, it is still possible for the Spencer family to become the most powerful family in Salar before William ascends to the stars.

But William didn't have the patience to think about who in his family was innocent.

His time will not be spent on these things.

He decided to let Naven follow him when he went back to deal with the undead.

No one can compete with Naven in this kind of situation.

For the rest, let the Spencer family return to the tradition of fighting among the great nobles!

Adrian thought about it for a while and finally agreed.

He would have had to stay in this place for a while.

For magicians, finding the way is the most important.

There is no need to stay in the magic tower for a long time to practice.

If there is a suitable student, he can also start traveling early.

It's troublesome to talk about the undead, but it's not him who does the main job.

From what he heard, he knew that William was worried that these nobles had completely pissed off the undead.

The nobles of Salal have been cleaned up several times.

But it can't stop these nobles from being hot-headed when competing for interests.

William has always valued human life, otherwise these guys will die.

Does a king still care how many nobles die?

Bloodline is important when it matters, but it is meaningless if there are substitutes.

Who can't create a majestic ancestor for himself?

People who have been dead for so many years can't protest that they have many descendants, can they?

William didn't care what Adrian was thinking and quickly handed over the controller of the City Lord's Mansion to him.

All of Adrian's obligations and rights have been spelled out in it.

Adrian, looking at the need to repair the magic circle, was speechless and choked.

No wonder William gave such a high salary.

I thought it was a thousand times the salary, but with the maintenance of the magic circle, it was only ten times the salary.

Adrian raised his head and looked quietly at the king in front of him, who was so thick-skinned that he could not be underestimated, without saying a word or moving.

William sighed and took out another ring and handed it to Adrian: "I thought I could save it."

Adrian looked at the contents of the ring, lowered his head, and quickly signed his name.
