The Dean Has Arrived

Following the task of receiving the centaur, the task of the causal chain is also completed.

In addition to the routine certificate of the strong, a series of rich resource rewards and an increase in the upper limit of the fatigue value, a little legendary value was added, a small piece of plane fragment was obtained, and there was an optional reward.

Aside from the legendary value whose use and effect were still unknown, what Xi Wei was most interested in was the plane fragment and the optional reward.

Plane fragments are actually large half-planes, but as the remnants of the collapsed plane, the rarity is much higher than that of half-planes that have not yet grown up. It is difficult to find complete plane fragments in the void.

In addition, unlike the half-planes whose laws are vague and easier to cut into various planes, plane fragments generally have their own perfect laws, and it is difficult to intervene in other planes. If they are forcibly connected or intervened, the planes are likely to collapse. Or disasters like spacequakes.

I don't know if it's because the mission location is in the new green grassland, the reward plane fragments are also a green grassland, and the temperature is suitable, much warmer than the main material plane that just entered the early spring.

The contents of the optional rewards are all architectural blueprints, which are "General Building. Martial Arts Hall", "Achievement Building. Hanging Star Temple" and "Wonder. Edric Arena".

There are not many explanations for each blueprint. Judging from the introduction in a few words, it can be concluded that the Martial Arts Hall is similar to the store that comes with the academy, and various messy things can be exchanged from it through the "martial arts value". How does the specific martial arts value come from, and what are the main categories of exchangeable items. is not mentioned at all.

The Temple of the Hanging Star is a holy place similar to most religions in the Eastern Plains. Unlike the Earth in previous lives, most religions in this world have a cult. And the object from which to draw power.

For example, the forest elves worship the quiet moon (the blue moon), the pure white church worships the holy light (there is a saying that the current sun is actually the projection of the holy light on the main material plane), the centaur They worship the god of war and the incarnation of nature, while some goblins believe in rock-born Behemoth as the god of the earth.

You know, even Xi Wei's second school district and the star pulse furnaces in his airships actually use the power of these astrology to operate.

The pendulum star temple worships a red malevolent star called the pendulum star, which will be regarded as the god of death and terror. After the establishment of the Pendulum Temple. Edric can also have his own religion, and can start to learn and teach the unique magic of this religion.

The last explanation on Edric's Grand Arena is the most vague, and there is only one sentence, "The Grand Arena can bring blessings to Edric's members and make it easier for them to perform well in battle."

Xi Wei rubbed his chin and began to carefully compare the three.

First of all, the Martial Arts Museum is more like a gamble, if the things inside are good, and the channels for obtaining martial arts are relatively simple. It's a good thing, but because there are other options now, this relatively random thing is put aside for now.

Then there is the Temple of the Hanging Star... To be honest, if the temple is not enshrined in a fierce god, Xi Wei would choose it directly after reckoning. Not only can it add new subjects to the academy, but it can also add a big boss who blesses the academy here.

It's a pity that worshiping the fierce god is too dangerous. What's more, colleagues are enemies. Xi Weizhen created a new religion, and maybe the Sanctuary, which had a good relationship with it, will start to alienate here. Besides, even if the temple is built, there are not many people who can use it immediately. The only two religious talents in Xi Wei's hands, Elilia and Fleur, are both from the Pure White Sanctuary. It doesn't matter whether they will preach to the evil god. I'm afraid they will be recalled as soon as they show their intention to engage in religion here.

Finally, there is the spectacle that neither sounds nor looks like much.

But Xi Wei is well aware of the system's crap that likes to hide good things. Something as mundane as this, which even the introduction seems to ignore, is often the best of all options.

Unlike the convenient achievement buildings, wonders are the same as ordinary buildings. After choosing to build, you need to provide raw materials yourself, and the construction cost of a wonder can be described as sky-high.

You know, Xi Wei hasn't continued to expand his college for a long time. The last time he consumed a lot of resources was when he was transforming the Second College and hiding it in the demiplane as a secret weapon.

The daily tasks and some casual side tasks made his resources almost explode. However, even in this case, if he chooses to build that wonder, most of his resources will be wiped out in an instant, leaving only a pitiful fraction...

But this also illustrates the value of this spectacle from the side. Therefore, after a little consideration, he still chose the blueprint of the spectacle.

Of course, the biggest reason why he would give up the other two is because both the Martial Arts Hall and the Hanging Star Temple are actually available for purchase in the achievement store panel (the Hanging Star Temple is a seasonal item)... only the spectacle is Not for sale.

It was precisely because of this that Xi Wei's belief in choosing the spectacle. Edric's Grand Arena was strengthened.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Shalan since I came back."

Xi Wei raised his head from his system panel and asked Sophia who was sitting on the side dealing with official business.

"For Shalan, she went to find her fellow clan to practice, and it will probably take a while before she comes back."

Sophia replied without raising her head. Then the quill in her hand stopped, and she asked in a tentative tone: "But I left the academy beacon on her, if you have something urgent, we can let the owl come back first."

"It's true that something happened, but it's rare that she has the intention to become stronger. It's okay to let her do her own thing." Xi Wei waved his hand, indicating that it doesn't matter.

It's not for her own sake that Sharon wants to become stronger. After Sophia complained about someone's slowness in her heart, she sighed secretly. Continue to deal with business.

The college has long been on the right track, and the daily affairs have finally stabilized at a not too much amount. But this also shows that the diplomacy of Edric College is not very good. Even the colleges of the former allies have lost contact.

This is not a good sign.

Xi Wei, who was about to stuff the newly acquired blueprint into the storage box, suddenly stopped his movements and looked at the blueprint of the spectacle again.

Although the description of this building has not increased due to the change from information to real objects, compared to the small translucent window, if you look at it with the naked eye, there are some dark and illegible images next to the text All bright and clear.

It is not so much an arena as it is a huge and complex city...

No wonder so many resources are needed. It turns out that this thing is equivalent to building a city from scratch. It feels a little diao.

But in this way a new problem arises - where does this thing have to be built? Certainly not Morag. If you are next to Morag, there is always a feeling that you are looking at the people on the wall above Morag, so it doesn't work.

Besides, another city was casually built next to other people's cities. Doesn't this sound too rude and exaggerated?

It is also impossible for him to just find a place to throw away the spectacle...

"Wait, if you think about it carefully, isn't the plane fragment obtained just now the best place to build the wonder?" Xi Wei had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and began to estimate the capacity of the plane fragment and the area occupied by this wonder area.

After finally reaching a happy conclusion, Xi Wei became even more interested.

"Yeah." He opened the fragments of the plane and planned to start building directly inside. But at this moment, another idea came to his mind: "Sophia, what is the current stock of magic items and alchemy products in our academy?"

"I haven't counted them specifically, but there should be a considerable number. Recently, the students have all changed into the equipment they want. It is estimated that there will be no need for new equipment for a long time."

The girl scratched her long red hair tied into a bun. She said uncertainly, and then she added: "In any case, the number of magic items and alchemy products in our academy is definitely the largest among all magic schools in the entire eastern plain."

After all, no academy would have a constant supply of magic items like Edric.

But in fact, the girl's estimate is still too conservative.

Edric's current inventory is not only the largest in the entire Eastern Plains. And in terms of whiteboard-level equipment, I am afraid that other colleges combined are only half of Edric College...

After all, most of the magic items (not produced by the system) in the eastern plain are in the Qiyao Mage Association. Moreover, the lack of communication of most magicians leads to almost no circulation of magic items. In addition, the manufacturing process of modern magic items is not perfect. It is more difficult to manufacture, and once they come and go, magic items become extremely scarce.

"Then if we take out about 10% of the extra magic items as rewards, how many magic schools do you think will be moved?" Xi Wei touched his chin and continued to ask.

"Reward? What reward?" The girl blinked, and asked strangely: "But if it's not something they are particularly disgusted with, then most of the small-scale academies should be attracted."

"That's enough." Xi Wei smiled.

"So what are you going to do anyway?"

A suspicious look appeared on the girl's face.

At this time, Feite poked his head out from the ceiling: "What's the matter, does Xi Wei have any strange thoughts?"

"I just think that Edric can't stand still like this. He needs to communicate more with other colleges."

Xi Wei said solemnly.

"Nonsense." Sophia snorted softly with her nose. Feite also nodded hurriedly.

It seems that the two of them have fully seen through Xi Wei's nature.

The stuffed elk-nosed tapir on the wall let out a shrill laugh.

"Shut up, or I'll give you to the orc maids to play with as sandbags."

Xi Wei glanced at the specimen that was always blocking him, coughed lightly and cleared his throat: "It's actually not a big deal..."

-- three days later --

"Master Dean, this is a letter from Edric Academy of Magic."

Nancy, an associate professor at Ixo College of Humanities, handed an envelope with the emblem of Edric College to the hand of the wrinkled old man.

The letter "To Your Majesty the Dean of Ixo School of Literature" written in cursive script on the envelope is particularly eye-catching.

"We've checked with Detect Curse and Detect Evil, and there's no malicious magic attached."

"Thanks for your hard work, Nanxi. I hope you can become a real professor in the next assessment."

The old man took the envelope and smiled heartily. At the same time, he picked up the paper knife on the table and cut open the envelope, and took out the contents.

It was a piece of letter paper and a pile of badges with the emblem of the Ixo School of Literature.

He ignored the pile of badges, opened the folded letter paper, and read the words on it.

It's just that the more he reads, the weirder the look on his face gets.

"My lord, what's written on it?" Nan Xi asked curiously after a while.

"Edric College held an event. I hope we, Ixowen, will also go to participate."

The old man handed the letter paper to Nancy: "I remember that you went to the college level council held by Hohenheig with him, and you also have a certain understanding of that magical young man. What do you think?"

Nan Xi took the letter and scanned it quickly, but her expression became a little strange.

At first, she thought that the reason for the activities of the Wonderful Academy, which had risen suddenly in only half a year and occupied a place in the Eastern Plains, was definitely to earn fame. A certain fee is charged to the colleges participating in the event to ensure the normal operation of the event. Although the magic academy looks rich to outsiders, in fact, whether it is the teaching fees of the professors, the purchase of various materials, and The acquisition of magic books for expanding the knowledge base requires a lot of money. The more prestigious the academy, the bigger the payout.

In Nancy's view, Edric, who has only one term and whose reputation has already rivaled that of some established academies, will definitely fall into the predicament of breaking the capital chain. That's why they deviated from their usual mysterious attitude and came up with this kind of activity.

However, after reading the letter, she realized that she was completely wrong.

Not only did they grandly state that all the registration fees and participation fees are free, including food and accommodation during the event, but they also stated that as long as they participate, there will be precious magic items as gifts.

Even if it's the scumbag of magic items. There are too many colleges to attend, which is also an astonishing expense!

Is this academy so rich and powerful?

for a while. Edric College, which was originally mysterious and unpredictable, has added a halo of local tyrants in Nanxi's eyes.

"Master Dean, are you planning to participate?"

Putting down the letter paper in her hand, Nan Xi asked curiously.

"Of course I will participate." The old man's face has returned to his usual calm expression: "Why not? Not only will there be free magic items to get, but you can also take this opportunity to explore the bottom line of Edric Academy, isn't it Kill two birds with one stone?"

"But, if this is a trap..." Nan Xi still had some doubts about it.

The conditions stated in the letter were too generous, which made her doubtful.

"In that case, just in case, just send the students from the second echelon to participate." The expression on the old man's face changed, showing a somewhat grim smile: "If it's just a show of favor from Edric College, then we Afterwards, it is natural to respond in good faith. And if he is entrapping the old man's students for some purpose, then the old man will let him know that our Ixowon ​​College is not so easy to bully, and the great magicians in the Eastern Plains are not the only ones Him alone!"

Nan Xi was a little breathless under the pressure of the old man, but fortunately, the other party immediately returned to his usual old man's look: "Anyway, Nan Xi, I have to let you run this time."

"Yes. It's my pleasure."

"Then you go down and prepare first. Those old students and old men will notify you in person."

Nanxi saluted the old man as a mage.

Then he turned and left the dean's room where the fireplace was blazing.

After Nan Xi left, the old man's expression suddenly dropped, and he stared at the letter in a daze.

"Edric, Edric, what the hell are you doing..."

In just half a year, he has jumped from an unknown person to one of the strongest in the Eastern Plains. This unprecedented speed makes him pay attention.

A scene similar to that of the Ixo Man Academy is now being staged in nearly a hundred magic academies in the Eastern Plains that have received invitations from Edric Academy.

Some of them are greedy for magic items and are ready to go; some are afraid of Xi Wei, and decide to retreat; some are as prepared as Ixowen...

Everyone didn't understand why Xi Wei Edrick would come up with such an event with unknown meaning at this time, and even the content was still kept secret.

For a moment, the magic world, which was originally quiet like a pool of stagnant water, suddenly glowed with the amazing vitality equivalent to that of the Council.

Guessing Xi Wei's purpose, guessing the content of the event, guessing how many colleges will participate this time... Even some determined academic magicians have recently begun to leave their mage towers and communicate with their colleagues about it guess.

They stood in various professional angles, contacted and discussed with each other, and made their own guesses. After all, as a legendary figure with the fastest advancement speed in history, Xi Wei himself was quite topical - of course no one guessed Ninety percent of Xi Wei did this because his dick hurt.

All in all, even civilians who had no connection with magicians in the past have heard the most popular vocabulary in the entire eastern plain at this moment.

——The Great Magic Academy Joint Exchange Conference, referred to as the Great Magic Festival.
