Faced with Dilth's complaints, Moses did not immediately respond. Waiting for Kai to leave the living room and enter the laboratory, when the sound of the door closing came, he slowly said, "It should be possible
Dean Martin and his team started planning this over a hundred years ago. I came here fifty years ago and have seen many good little guys grow up over the years
With the current quality and standards of apprentices at the Dark Arts Academy, it shouldn't be a problem just to meet Dean Martin's requirements, "said Moses as he rubbed the water cup on the table in front of him.
The liquid in the cup of water on the table in front of the two formal black magicians is not ordinary, it is a high-end meditation potion personally prepared by Dilth. This potion not only accelerates the recovery speed of the wizard's spiritual power and improves the quality of meditation, but also has a refreshing and delicious taste. For apprentices, this is a top-notch potion that they can't even imagine. But for the two official black wizards, this is just the tea they use to relieve fatigue.
Kai's mentor, Moses, was not so extravagant in the past. However, since secretly forming an offensive and defensive alliance with Dilth, I have obtained many similar potions from this beautiful female mage. Similarly, Master Dilth recently asked Moses to help her create a high-quality magical equipment during her free time. These two black wizards are each taking what they need, and they are both outstanding in their respective fields. Two black wizards join hands to advance, and when the space-time rift really opens in the future, they can also maximize the benefits of the out of place surface behind the space-time rift.
Don't be fooled by Moses and Dilth, they have done quite well in the group of black wizards with their respective alchemy and pharmacy skills. But compared to the official wizards on the surface who are backed by Santa, they are still far behind. More resource channels and richer knowledge accumulation make the wizards in Santa the fastest growing beings in the wizarding world.
Moses is already over eight hundred years old this year, with only a little over a hundred years left until the end of his lifespan. Not to mention the second level mage, even the first level peak is still far behind him. At the same age, many wizards in Santa have been promoted to level two or even three, only he is still hovering in the first level stage. The emergence of this situation is due to factors such as the scarcity of resources and closed knowledge exchange among the black wizard community. Of course, part of the reason is that Moses himself devoted too much energy and time to alchemy research, gradually deviating from the direction of exploring the true essence of magical elements.
Senior Brother Zoro felt that his mentor Moses valued his second junior brother the most, and he also regarded him as his successor in the mantle back then. Moses himself thought the same way. But overall, among the many disciples Moses accepted, the one who looked most like him was actually Zorro.
Hmph, I heard that Walter and the others who went to raid the surface this time seemed to have been discovered
Dean Dadalon discovered two magical marks on the floating ship, "said Dilth.
Hmm? Is it an ordinary wizard organization or Santa? "Moses became nervous when he heard these words.
I'm not sure, it should be an ordinary magician
If it were people from Santa, they wouldn't be able to come back, "Dilth shook her head and said.
Hmph, the surface Santa Magician has taken over 80% of the resources in the entire wizarding world. Is it possible that he won't even let go of the underground this time? "Moses said with some indignation.
Dilth nodded with empathy and said, "Not only that, the vast majority of apprentice seeds in the wizarding world have also been plundered by those Santas
Hmph, I heard that the standard for recruiting apprentices at Santa College is an initial mental strength of at least 10 points
How many of the apprentices that Walter and his team plundered this time have a mental strength of over 10 points
If it weren't for this, the dean and his team wouldn't have lowered the admission standards for entry-level apprentices, "Diers said regretfully.
The standard for recruiting apprentices in the Black Domain of the Western Islands is also a reliable standard that our wizarding world has been exploring since ancient times, with an initial spiritual power of at least 10 points
Although the initial spiritual power does not represent the ultimate achievement height of an apprentice, it is still his wisdom that determines the true strength of a magician
But the initial level of mental power directly determines their entry speed
To put it simply, those Santas in the wizarding world are all righteous individuals
Where do those Santa magicians come from? They are all nobles! This has gradually become a trick of nobles
On the contrary, in our Western Islands, the environment is a bit harsh and resources are relatively scarce, but the magic academy in the Black Domain recruits apprentices for all eligible children in the field of radiation control
Who is more fair? "Moses sneered.
Although both Moses and Dilth come from the Black Domain of the Western Isles, the Western Isles are too large, including the area of the Black Domain, for the two formal Black Mages to explore to the limit.
Moses and Dilth were born on two island continents in the middle and outer reaches of the Black Domain. Because Moses had studied and advanced in the magic academy of the Black Domain for a period of time in his early years, he had a better understanding of the situation in the hinterland of the Black Domain than Dilth. Including the perspective from which certain things are viewed, there are also significant differences between Moses and Dilis. Dilth values personal and immediate interests more, while Moses, although not usually talkative, sometimes thinks of more profound things.
Of course, Moses' words are also biased. The threshold for recruiting apprentices at major Santa Colleges in the Black Domain and the Normal Wizarding Continent is different, and there are many considerations and other reasons that cannot be solely focused on "fairness". And the apprentice competition mechanism in the black domain... both of these black wizards have personally experienced it. Although they didn't rush out of a pure dark magic academy like Andy, their apprenticeship period was definitely not easy, otherwise their temperament wouldn't be so paranoid and crazy.
When it comes to the standards for recruiting apprentices, Moses, who has seen a lot in the Western Islands, couldn't help but sigh and say, "Although I don't like the knightly halls in the wizarding world, at least the standards for recruiting attendants in the knightly halls are open to all humanity, regardless of their status
When I came from the Western Islands, I passed by and saw many civilian knight academies
It is said that there was such a transformation in the Knight's Palace, which was promoted to the entire wizarding world by an immensely powerful knight in ancient times
I don't know if there will be such a character in our wizard community in the future, "Moses said with emotion.
Dilth did not take Moses' feelings seriously. As a spellcaster, she maintains the usual pride of a mage and despises the knight community. In her opinion, knights are just a group of guys who only know brute force, how can they understand the depth of magic and the grandeur of elemental power. There are no knights in the dark regions, but Dilth knows that on the surface and even in the entire wizarding world, the number of knights has always far exceeded that of wizards of the same level. The reason for this situation is twofold: on the one hand, the threshold for knights is lower than that of magicians, and on the other hand, it is also related to the larger recruitment range for knight attendants as mentioned by Moses. In this world, there are ultimately few aristocrats, and commoners are the mainstream of the population. Although knights who possess powerful fighting spirit and physical strength will eventually lead to the path of nobility, at least they have provided a path to nobility for millions of human commoners in the wizarding world, and not all generations will become commoners.
Of course, the large number of knights and low threshold also result in another fact: among knights and magicians of the same level, magicians often have a higher status. Moreover, if there is sufficient magic shield defense beforehand, the magician's performance is far superior to that of the knight. The power of magical elements, whether in terms of strike distance or range, is stronger than the fighting power of knights. In addition, knights do not engage in production and rely solely on brute force combat. In the fields of alchemy equipment and magical potions, they rely too much on magicians. A simple energy gathering magic array that can accelerate cultivation speed, even the most powerful knights would be blinded by it, and could only seek help from magicians who possess extensive knowledge and elemental power. For these reasons, although the major Santas and Knights Templar have claimed more than once that knights and wizards are of equal status, in reality, wizards are more popular and are the objects that knights of the same level need to please. The hostility towards the surface Santa and the Knights Templar, as well as complaints about the general situation of the Black Mages, made Moses and Dilth, the two official Black Mages, talk more today.
In the laboratory, Kai is unaware of these situations. With the help of his senior brother Zoro, he once again attempted to enchant the Green Jaw Feather Claw. Half a month later, three blue jawed feather claws with "sharpness" became Kai's biggest gain during this period. Of course, in addition, Kai also learned the "dark cuisine" of making nutritional supplements from his senior sister Fei'er. It's called 'Dark Cuisine' because Kai finally found out what senior sister Fei'er added to it during the learning process. Some of the black little insects that he couldn't name temporarily were nothing more, and he even saw his senior sister Fei'er take a sticky yellow liquid. Kai asked what it was, and Senior Sister Feier calmly replied, "There is a lot of saliva from pack horses underground." Kai's ugly face at the time showed his rich emotions inside.
Senior Sister Fei'er guessed what Kai was thinking. As someone who has always been lively and cheerful towards Kai, she sternly scolded Kai for the first time, saying, "What do you know? The inner shell of the black scabies beetle is rich in energy and is one of the main ingredients of my nutritional medicine." "The saliva of the underground quadrupedal pack horse has good melting properties, which can accelerate the fusion of various materials in the medicine and extend its shelf life," Senior Sister Fei'er scolded.
Senior Sister Feier's lesson immediately corrected Kai's attitude. Indeed, whether it's the pitch black insects or the nauseating saliva of pack horses, they are just appearances. As a magician, Kai should not be misled by appearances, but must see through them and point straight to the essence of things. Just like when dealing with specimens, what appears in front of Kai is no longer a corpse, but a treasure trove of knowledge related to life and bloodline. Only with such a mindset can Kai truly become a truth explorer and go further in the future. Senior Sister Feier's lesson had a lasting impact on Kai for a long time thereafter. Even many years in the future, Kai recalled this statement and still believed it to be a wise saying among the spellcasters in the wizarding world.
I think the shell of the black scabies beetle can be replaced by the rhizomes of sugarcane thorn grass, which have similar characteristics and higher energy. As for the saliva of the underground multi legged pack horse, I think the juice of green plum or the water of orchid that I mixed can replace it. Of course, this is just a preliminary idea, and whether it can succeed still needs to be tested in practice. "" The mentor said that even a slight change in the formula materials, dosage, and heat adjustment may cause significant deviations in the final reagent, "said Meili timidly to Kai in Fat Boss's shop.
At this moment, Kai's mandatory task deadline for the next college is getting closer and closer. Today, he came to Fat Bob's place to purchase low-level materials and happened to meet Merry who was also here. After chatting with Merry about the recent situation, Kai casually mentioned the matter of nutritional supplements. After all, Meili is a legitimate pharmacy apprentice, and senior sister Fei'er is only halfway through her apprenticeship, so her professionalism may not even be as strong as Meili, who is a low-level apprentice. Sure enough, after chatting for a few words, Kai received a surprising answer. Kailuo stared blankly in shock, making Meili's face blush slightly. Before Kai could say anything, Meili took the initiative to say, "After I assist my mentor with several drug experiments, I'll help you see how to improve the formula
Mei Li's answer made Kai come to his senses. He waved his hand and said, "No need, as long as this nutritional potion can be used, taste and specific formula are secondary." "But Mei Li, you should also spend some time and energy on cultivation. I remember your mental strength value is only 17 points now, right?" Kai asked.
Meili helped Kai a lot, and those two potions almost saved his life last time. So during this period, Kai also gave back a lot to Meili. In addition to tutoring Meili about the element of fire in her spare time for experiments and studies, Kai also lent her her her crystal ball to use a few times. Meili's initial spiritual power reached 13 points, but over the years it has only increased by 4 points, which is considered relatively slow in the Dark Arts Academy. Fortunately, Meili has a good foundation. Some apprentices are in their twenties, but their mental strength points are still in their teens, making it almost impossible for them to compete for intermediate apprentices. And Meili is fifteen years old this year, with 17 points of mental strength, giving her a 70% chance of being promoted to intermediate apprentice. On the contrary, the fat guy Bos doesn't have much talent and isn't very diligent. Whether he can be promoted to intermediate apprentice before the age of 30 is a big question.
