Throne of Magical Arcana

Chapter 649: A Corner of the Times

At the end of the Blazing Moon (August), the Rentat civilian area.

After his parents went to work in the seafood company and the crystal lamp workshop, Lang Man was alone at home looking through the books he bought during this time, silently thanking the God of truth and the arcanists in his heart.

Ever since the evil radical church was expelled from the Magic Council and the moderates came to power, the expensive books have become much cheaper. Even a child from a commoner family like myself can buy one or two books every few months with the support of his parents. , this was a luxury that was completely unimaginable in the past, and made me who love books feel that the sun has become bright and gentle.

Langman knew from the "Voice of Mystery" that papermaking was actually born hundreds of years ago. After long-term improvements, the price has dropped to the point where one copper fil can buy a large stack. The printing technology is also the same. In this way, in order to monopolize knowledge and communication channels with the Lord, the radical church artificially blocked printing technology and encouraged manuscripts, so that the price of books could not be lowered for a long time. Except for nobles and big businessmen, ordinary people want to learn Words and knowledge are quite difficult, but thanks to the secret transmission of the Magic Council, Rentat's average knowledge level has reached the qualified standard.

But now, times have changed. Although knowledge is precious, it has not exceeded the necessary limit, because the alchemy workshops and the great nobles urgently need labor with a knowledge base.

Looking at the book, this is a book about common creatures in nature, and it is equipped with lifelike illustrations. Lang Man, who followed his father to understand some of the text, read it with gusto. His father climbed from the bottom and became a seafood company. Afterwards, middle-level supervisors received instruction in writing and fishery knowledge.

"Gnolls, kobolds, goblins, giants, barbarians, Dudu birds..." Looking at this book, Lang Man seemed to be in the colorful nature and saw creatures of different shapes. There are similarities, but there are also very different characteristics, which makes people fascinated, "It is really worth saving money for several months to buy this book!"

Dong dong dong, the sound of knocking on the door awakened Lang Man from the ocean of knowledge.

"Who?" He asked loudly, straightened his back, and suddenly felt a little nervous. I am a child at home, if it is a robber, a thief, or the cruel "night watchman" described by the "Voice of Mystery"...

Dong dong dong, a man's voice sounded in the knock on the door: "Open the door, I am a postman from Kingdom Post, and I have your letter!"

Lang Man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly laughed at himself that he had heard too many horror stories in the "Voice of Mystery", and he was terrified even during the day. Aren't robbers, thieves, and night watchmen only haunt at night?

Opening the door, Lang Man saw a young man with a friendly smile, wearing a dark green outfit, carrying a heavy package, and holding two letters in his hand.

"Your letter." The postman said with a smile.

Langman took the letter, and first saw the exquisite stamps on the envelope. This was the first batch issued by the Kingdom, with the portraits of Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty Evans printed on them, representing different amounts of money.

"The stamps are so beautiful, I have to cut them out and keep them..." Lang Man thought subconsciously, then looked at the sender, and found that it was written by his aunt who married into Pephos County. I am alone, but my uncle is in the capital of Pephos County. Although it is not far from Rentat, it is only a few hours' drive by the magic steam train, but communication is difficult, and it is not so easy to find a reliable friend or businessman who is willing to take letters. It's an easy thing, and the price is quite expensive. There is only one letter back and forth a year, and it is almost lost contact.

Now, everything is different. Lang Man looked at the denomination of the stamps on the cover, and found that with his own pocket money, he could afford one letter a month.

Thank the Lord, thank Her Majesty the Queen, thank Your Excellency Evans, thank Prime Minister Russell, and thank the Kingdom Post Office. He drew a cross on his chest, and then looked at the second letter, his eyes widened immediately: "Admission letter? Renta Special No. 1 Liberal Studies School?"

ah? ah! I was accepted!

Lang Man only felt great joy hitting his heart, as if something exploded inside, he kept saying thank you to the postman, his eyes blurred.

Since this is just the beginning of the pilot project, the royal family and the Magic Council have only jointly opened two general education schools in Rentat for the time being, named after simple rules such as the first and the second. There are so many people who want to enter these two schools, there may not be one lucky person out of a hundred!

Fortunately, Her Majesty the Queen formulated a fair enrollment method - "unified entrance examination", which gave me room to play.

"I can really learn knowledge, I can really understand the common sense of arcane and magic..." Lang Man stood there blankly, with countless thoughts rolling in his mind, and he couldn't calm down at all.

"Please sign for verification. If you don't know how to write, just press your fingerprint." The postman delivered many such "admission notices" today and is used to this situation.

Only then did Lang Man come to his senses, took the fountain pen from the postman - it was said that it was specially popularized to the public, and solemnly wrote his name on the receipt.

"Thank you uncle, you have brought me a great surprise." Lang Man sincerely thanked the postman when returning the fountain pen.

The postman laughed and said, "Feeling your happiness, I also feel very good. When I have saved enough money, I also want to go to a liberal arts school. Maybe we will be alumni in the future."

Lang Man blushed and said: "May the Lord bless your wish come true, uncle, are you tired of being a postman? You carry a lot of letters and packages every day."

The postman smiled and said, "It's very tiring, but it won't take long. He said he wanted to give us something called a bicycle."

"Bicycle?" Lang Man frowned suspiciously.

After seeing off the postman, he couldn't wait to open the admission notice, took out his father's dictionary, and read the content on it.

"Common language, basics of mathematics, historical overview, introduction to nature, common sense of magic, basics of logic, identification of heraldry, basic arcane arts, physical training... These are basic general education courses, which are compulsory; music, fencing, painting, document writing , Preliminary Electromagnetics, Outline of Elements, General Psychology, Medical Basics, Advanced Mathematics, Spells and Symbolics, Ancient Magic Language, Political Science, Economics... These are elective courses, after the third year of general education, according to your own Choose the basic knowledge in different directions.” Lang Man read the course content, watched their introduction carefully, and dreamed about his future uncontrollably in his heart.

"Whether to be a clerk, a politician, a musician, a painter, a knight servant, a doctor, an arcanist..." Lang Man knew that his magical talent was not good, just like ordinary people, so he ranked the arcanist last one.

Before he knew it, the sky darkened, and his parents returned home and saw the admission notice.

After reading the admission notice, Lang Man's father nodded lightly: "It's still early to think about it. You won't know what you are good at and what you are not good at until you really start studying. Of course, I suggest you start studying noble etiquette in the fourth year." , horse riding, fencing, music, economics, and fishery knowledge. After entering a seafood company in the future, you can use this knowledge to quickly become a supervisor and associate with nobles and big businessmen. As for magic, you are very clear about your talent. "

He naturally hoped that his son would grow up under his protection.

Lang Man's mother disagreed: "The current trend is the development of alchemy workshops. Even if Lang Man's magic talent is not good, he should learn more about magic and alchemy. Becoming the supervisor of an alchemy workshop in the future can be compared with the development of seafood. The company has a lot more style.”

The two had a heated discussion on the issue until the "Voice of Mystery" began.

Lang Man, who had been silent all this time, was sitting in the square, listening to the content of "Revealing the Church", his heart was in a mess, he was a little excited and a little disappointed.

"...After exploring the Necromancer World, several legendary magicians confirmed the existence of Mount Paradise, and had reason to believe that the God of Truth had fallen into a deep sleep, and the authority had been stolen by the Pope!"

"...Speaking of the Pope, I have to mention his true identity. He is actually the bloody and cruel legendary mage Viken of the ancient magic empire. He infiltrated into the ranks of the God of Truth and seized power while the God of Truth was asleep..."

"... Viken once trapped a small town for a certain experiment, cut off the food supply, and let the people inside kill each other. It is said that the crying and shouting lasted for more than half a month before subsiding, until now , There are still many evil spirits wandering there..."

Lang Man thought blankly: "Is the Pope really an ancient magician? There seems to be a similar saying before, but there are other rumors..."

As the programs aired one after another, Lang Man gradually got rid of his troubles and concentrated on listening to his favorite programs:

"...The Holt Academy of Magic held its first 'flying competition' today. There were contests of speed, some fancy styles, some strong players relying on their own strength, and some low-level mages who were good at manipulating flying staffs... ..."

Air race? Lang Man listened with great interest to the newly created "Hundred Aspects of Mage" program, which was a news dedicated to introducing all kinds of interesting things about the Magic Council.

After hearing these interesting things, Lang Man suddenly froze, as if there was a voice roaring in his heart.

Yes, my magic talent is not good, but that doesn't mean I don't have arcane talent. Your Excellency Evans said that as long as you have enough mental power to manipulate simplified alchemy items, you can study arcane arts! This field of researching the reality of the world is the same as the field of mathematics and science, and poor magic talent is not the threshold!

The voice in his heart gradually became clear and audible:

"My dream is to become an Arcanist!"
