Chapter 4 Spell Model
Walking out of the academic building, Pei Ze immediately found a place to change into his apprentice robe and pinned his apprentice badge on.
It's obviously just a simple gray robe, but after wearing it, the whole person feels brand new.
He looked a little less green and immature, with a touch of deep and solemn aura, making him appear more stable and composed.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Pei Ze's mouth turned up slightly.
From today on, he is also a wizard apprentice!
After admiring himself for a while, Pei Ze took out the booklet and read it carefully.
After being promoted to the first-level wizard apprentice, students no longer have fixed courses. All courses are completely flexible, and students can freely choose the courses they want to take.
And all courses are free.
This is especially important for civilian students.
It is said that in the Dark Ages tens of thousands of years ago, due to the scarcity of wizards, wizard apprentices had to spend magic stones to purchase courses in order to receive knowledge from their teachers.
Many wizard apprentices whose families were not well-off had to put a lot of energy into earning magic stones, and even risked their lives to fight ferocious beasts.
In that era of extremely fierce competition, the effort, energy and time required for a wizard apprentice to become a wizard are unimaginable by people today!
Even in the early days of the Wizarding Age, the fact that courses were paid remained unchanged.
It was not until the number of wizards grew exponentially and the number of teachers became more and more abundant that the free course system was gradually promoted.
It's a pity that free courses have little effect on Pei Ze.
With his omniscient eye, he acquires knowledge far more easily and quickly than others.
At this point, formal wizards may not be as good as him.
If he didn't want to attract too much attention, he wouldn't have to go to class at all.
Continuing to look down, Pei Ze raised his eyebrows.
In addition to the free courses, the rest, such as spell models and various herbal materials, all require money to purchase, and the prices are not cheap.
For example, a piece of Yunling Grass, which can improve the effect of meditation after being taken, sells for up to 5 gold coins.
A model of the lowest-level zero-level spell 'Mage's Hand' sells for as much as 20 gold coins!
You must know that the monthly salary of ordinary workers in outer cities is only 30 to 50 silver coins, and outstanding skilled workers can earn about 80 silver coins.
A worker who saves more than half a year's salary without eating or drinking can only buy a piece of Yunling grass.
Ordinary people simply can’t afford it!
"No wonder wizards are said to be gold-swallowing black holes."
Pei Ze frowned.
He only has more than thirty gold coins in his hand now, which is still a little savings he brought from the inner city.
This amount of money is enough to support daily living expenses, but it is a drop in the bucket to support the wizard's training. It is not enough to buy two spell models.
But as he continued to look down, Pei Ze's brows gradually relaxed.
For students who don't have enough money, the college has also given an alternative plan, which is to obtain contribution points by completing tasks, and then use the contribution points to exchange for various resources.
This is undoubtedly good news for Pei Ze.
"It seems I have to find a mission to do."
"But before that, I'd better get the free spell model first!"
Putting away the booklet, Pei Ze rushed to the logistics department in a hurry.
In the academy, the activity areas for ordinary students and wizard apprentices are separated.
The latter can enter the former's activity area at will, but not the other way around.
There is a layer of light fog at the junction of the two areas. Through the fog, you can only vaguely see the outline of the building on the other side.
A thin mist separates the world of ordinary people from the wizarding world.
"If there were no omniscient eye, I would probably be one of the separated ones."
Pei Ze is self-aware. If there is no omniscient eye to analyze the will runes, he will probably end up transferring to the Knight Academy. The best ending in this life is to become a knight. It is impossible for a knight to come into contact with the world of wizards.
While he was sighing, Pei Ze suddenly felt a line of sight. He turned around and met a pair of scarlet eyes.
A stone lion was lying on the ground more than ten meters away, staring at him closely.
Even when lying down, its height reaches the chest of an adult human male, which is extremely oppressive.
Pei Ze looked around and discovered that there was a stone lion squatting guarding every hundred meters or so in the mist. It was obviously a guard specifically guarding this place.
"Puppet!"
Pei Ze's eyes lit up slightly.
The four major side jobs of a wizard are puppets, potions, scrolls, and enchantments.
If nothing else, these stone lions should be puppet creations.
"It's a pity that any of the four side jobs requires sufficient mental support to learn. Don't expect to be promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice."
Pei Ze was a little jealous. If he could master any of the four side jobs, making money would no longer be a problem.
Shaking his head, he threw away his ambitious thoughts and strode into the fog.
The stone lion not far away glanced at the apprentice badge on his chest, turned his head and continued to sleep soundly.
After passing through the fog, the eyes suddenly opened up, and the noisy voices of people suddenly entered my ears.
Pei Ze looked intently and found that he had arrived at a square. People were coming and going around him, including young girls and boys wearing gray apprentice robes.
People who can become wizard apprentices are usually physically stronger than ordinary people (the physical attribute of a normal adult male is 1), so everyone you see is full of energy and full of energy.
There is quite a picture of everyone being like a dragon.
Of course, this is not necessarily true for a formal wizard.
There are many wizards who accidentally turned themselves into human beings and ghosts due to experiments.
It is said that the dean of Tower Academy looks like a skeleton, with no flesh on his body.
Every year, unsuspecting freshmen are scared to death by the dean who likes to walk at night, thinking they have encountered the undead.
After walking out of the square, Pei Ze searched all the way and soon came to a building with the sign of the Logistics Department.
He walked straight into the first office and said to an old man with gray hair who was engrossed in writing on a document: "Hello, I'm here to receive the spell model." Hearing the voice, the old man looked up and looked at Pei
. Ze glanced at him for a few seconds, then his eyes fell on the apprentice badge on his chest, and a light seemed to flash in his eyes.
"Pei Ze, right?"
The old man nodded slightly, and with a slight flick of his finger, there was a clatter, and an A4-sized piece of paper on the desk floated out of thin air and floated towards Pei Ze.
"This is a list of spell models. You choose one."
Pei Ze thanked him, reached out to take the list, and browsed carefully.
A first-level wizard apprentice can only learn zero-level spells, and there are more than twenty in total on the list, which is almost the same as the information he has learned before.
Pei Ze had already decided on the spell he wanted to learn at the beginning. After looking at it for a while, he said: "I choose the hand of the mage." The hand
of the mage, as the name suggests, is to create an invisible ghost that can be large or small, and can be retracted freely. The hand
can be used to attack enemies or manipulate objects to complete some simple tasks. It is highly practical and has a wide range of applications. It is most suitable for first-level wizard apprentices.
More than 99% of first-level wizard apprentices will choose the hand of the mage when choosing their first spell.
"Are you sure you choose this?" the old man asked in a routine manner.
"OK!" Pei Ze said.
The old man nodded, hooked his finger again, and a book flew out from the bookshelf in the corner of the office and floated towards Pei Ze.
Pei Ze caught the book, then took out the gold coin given by Zhou Han, handed it to the old man, and said, "I want to choose another spell model." The old man was slightly startled, took the gold coin and took a look, and gently touched the surface of the
gold coin with his index finger. With a flick, a bit of silver suddenly appeared, and a name was quickly outlined: Zhou Han.
"Secret Mark." Pei Ze recognized this zero-ring spell.
This spell can use special means and energy fluctuations to engrave personal symbols or marks on any item without damaging the item, even metal or stone.
"It is indeed Zhou Han's mark. You can choose another spell model for free."
The old man took a deep look at Pei Ze.
The teachers in the academy are all official wizards, and the vast majority of wizards are extremely realistic creatures. They believe in equal exchange and will not easily help students for free.
The student in front of him had just been promoted to a wizard apprentice at this time. He was obviously not from a wizard family, and his talent was not very good. I don't know how he got Zhou Han's attention and he did not hesitate to use his mentor's privileges to help him.
Confused, the old man didn't ask any more questions and signaled Pei Ze to continue choosing.
This time Pei Ze chose the stun technique.
After getting the book, Pei Ze spent 30 gold coins to buy 6 leaves of Yunling Grass, then left the office and headed to the library without stopping.
He can't wait to start learning spells!
