Chapter 564: Great Wizard Drake
"Lord Tower Master, the magic research in the astronomy department has come to a complete standstill at present. Without the ability to observe the real starry sky, which direction do you think our future research should take? What?"
The third floor of the Astronomy Tower.
The floor here has the largest floor area in the entire tower. Except for the spiral staircase, it is basically a floor where you can move at will.
The teaching place of the astronomy department is located here.
At this moment, in this floor dedicated to teaching, Catalina was facing more than a dozen wizards of all kinds. Among them were people dressed as wizard apprentices, as well as faces that Ronald had seen while climbing the tower.
The person who just asked the question was a middle-aged wizard wearing a robe.
But...
how to describe it?
In Ronald's view, Catalina is a wizard with strong foresight and a qualified researcher.
But as a teacher, she is really outrageous.
Facing the questions from her subordinates, she sat casually on her desk, supporting her body with one hand to prevent herself from lying down directly. Her tone and eyes were floating on the ceiling, not at all on the person who asked the question: "Research direction
? ..."
"Didn't other disciplines set a good example?"
"If we can't see the stars, let's continue to optimize our spell-casting abilities. Anyway, now everyone in the academy is clamoring to 'break out of the seal and pay with blood' It's definitely a good idea to improve your combat ability."
"..."
Faced with his own tower master, he spoke in a realistic and overly realistic manner.
The wizard who asked the question looked back at the new wizard apprentice behind him, and then decisively gave up the question he just asked:
"Tower Master, we have only advanced one-third of the experimental plan we got from the Prophecy Department last time. Is it going to happen today?" Is it time to continue?"
"Well..."
Catalina thought for a few seconds.
Then she waved her hand to her subordinates to not mention it for the time being.
Then he jumped down from the table and walked in two steps to a wizard apprentice who looked a little confused.
"Hey, little guy."
"I saw you for the first time today."
"What's going on in your mind that you would take our astronomy course?"
"..."
The young wizard apprentice looked confused. .
This is not the first time he has entered the Magic Tower to teach.
But when the person in charge of the subject taught the class himself and came directly to him to ask questions, that was an unprecedented experience.
You must know that in other subjects...
the formal wizards teach the wizard apprentices, the senior wizards teach the formal wizards, and then top figures such as the tower master or the great wizard occasionally give a 'big lecture'. This is the normal academy rule.
Aren’t people in astronomy the opposite of people in other disciplines?
"I...I am more curious about astronomical spells..." "
..."
On the other side, Ronald, as an observer, saw everything in his eyes.
With the power of 'Rage' assisting him in his observation, Ronald could see the situation in front of him more clearly.
Katarina herself has always looked at other wizards with a condescending attitude, and she regards teaching as a kind of life spice.
Katrina's subordinates can be roughly divided into two types.
One is an ordinary wizard who is just eating and waiting to die. The wizard Ronald saw sleeping was this type before; while the other is loyal to Catalina, and every move during the teaching process is in the direction of a wizard's apprentice. Think about it, and strive to leave some apprentices as fresh blood in the astronomy department.
About a quarter of an hour later.
After Catalina finished teasing the young wizard apprentice, she began to become serious, and focused on some spell-casting techniques that were very useful for novice wizards, rather than those advanced experiments or powerful spells.
Ronald continued to listen like this for several minutes.
After confirming that most of the contents were of no use to him, he turned and walked towards the top of the tower.
According to what Catalina said before, Ronald quickly arrived on the seventh floor.
To the north is an office-like building, and on the opposite side is a warehouse for storing items.
Ronald came straight to the other end of the office.
The staff here is a dozing male wizard.
"Hello, I'm Derek?"
"..."
"Huh?"
The wizard behind the desk raised his head and looked at Ronald, and it took him a few seconds to react.
"Yes, it's Mr. Drake!"
"The tower owner told me this morning that you should come here to get something."
Ronald smiled and nodded.
The wizard in front of him was muttering to himself what Catalina had ordered in the morning, and at the same time he bent down to search behind the desk.
Soon, he took out a folded wizard robe.
There is also a medal in the shape of a seven-pointed star placed on it.
"Here, take it."
"This is your uniform in the astronomy department."
"There are also some supporting benefits. Just wait for me."
After saying that, the wizard got up from behind the desk and turned to the room further inside. go.
Ronald took advantage of the other party's time to unfold his robe. This was a wizard's robe completely in the style of a college tower. It came with a magic circle for defense and an automatic cleaning spell.
And this badge...
Ronald briefly recalled the scene he just saw on the third floor.
Wizard apprentices don’t see any badge-type things on their chests, but formal wizards wear sun-shaped badges on their robes.
And the seven-pointed star...
seems to be something that only the great wizard, the holder of the original scripture, can wear.
In the wizarding world, one criterion is whether one has the original text, which is in line with the actual situation.
With this thought in mind, the wizard, who had left not long ago, turned back from behind.
This time he placed a bracelet and a document bag in front of Ronald, and the expression on his fully awake face was full of respect.
"Mr. Drake, this is what the tower master has prepared for you." "
If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me directly." "
..."
Ronald looked at what he got.
The bracelet is obviously a magic prop used to enhance spellcasting ability, and the paper bag contains documents proving identity and a deed to the house inside the barrier mountain.
Compared with the staff that Pablo obtained last night and the right to live in the apartment area, Catalina's treatment of Ronald was obviously much better.
However, Ronald is not in a hurry to confirm what kind of benefits he can enjoy in Barrier Mountain.
Thinking about the conversation I had with Pablo when we parted today.
Look at the astronomy wizard in front of him who is respectful to him.
A smile appeared on Ronald's face, and then he spoke in a gentle tone:
"Sir, you should also know that I just joined Barrier Mountain yesterday." "
As a newcomer, I do have some questions about the Academy Tower. Are you willing to help me answer this question?"
