In Jia Lan's understanding, [Energy] includes "air, water, fire, earth, acid (corrosion), cold, lightning, force field, sound waves, light, darkness" and so on.
"Wind", Jia Lan thinks it means "air", but what is "wood"? Is it a variant of "natural magic" made by those druids who like nature?
Jia Lan is a little confused. Now everyone seems to be studying spells such as [Elemental Sub-School], but is this too one-sided? The elements of nature are not just these "basic models", there are also more advanced ones, and there are also complex "combination models".
Take "Science and Magic University" for example, it specializes in studying elements, but why does it only focus on "wind, water, fire, earth" and forget "cold, lightning, force field, sound waves"? Isn't this teaching a "lame wizard"!
Jia Lan was confused and had to ask: "Besides the main subjects, what other courses does the [auxiliary department] have?"
Alan began to count: "There are so many, [linguistics], [identification], [archaeology], [pharmacy], [esoteric medicine], [alchemy], [enchantment], [heraldry], [runeology], [sculpture], [totemology], [array], [astrology], [mathematics]..."
Alan couldn't count them all and had to nod: "Anyway, there are a lot! But unless you have no talent in the main subject and are assigned to the [auxiliary department] which does not require high talent, the main subject credits generally account for 60%, and the [auxiliary department] credits for randomly choosing four courses only account for 40%."
Jia Lan was not discouraged and asked again: "Does the "Science and Magic University" teach 'cold, lightning, force field, sound waves' and other... uh... magic?"
Alan was stunned: "You are talking about 'Ice System' and 'Electric System', right? Those are advanced courses that can only be learned by formal magicians. We apprentices are not even apprentice magicians, how can we possibly get in touch with them?"
When Jia Lan heard this, he felt that his worldview was about to collapse. The knowledge system of this era was too different from what he knew. It was incomplete and messy.
After asking for a long time, Jia Lan finally figured out the level of "magicians" in this era.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
From the lowest "magic apprentice, apprentice magician", to the "primary, intermediate, and advanced" formal magicians, to "grand magician, wizard, grand wizard", and then "magician, grand magician".
Alan said that there are a few "sages and great sages" above the grand magician, as well as the legendary "saints and gods of law", which should be the "super powerful" and "legendary" levels of this era, right?
Jia Lan was silent for a while. He found that what he learned was completely out of touch with this era and he had to learn it all over again to catch up. This ruined his original plan to sneak into the library of "KoMo University" to look up information.
It seems that he has to stay here for a while, learn things well, and then look up the matter of the Great Destruction, otherwise he may not be able to move forward in this era!
But in this way, he has to find a way to get a letter of recommendation from "KoMo University" before he can take the exam, and tuition is also a big problem... He is penniless now!
Just for the exam and talent test, he has to pay the academy five gold Talan and five silver Jim, and the tuition is even more expensive if he passes the exam. Jia Lan knows that no matter which era, things related to "knowledge" and "magic" are very expensive.
Although he doesn't quite understand the money of this era, judging from the names, "Gold Talan, Silver Jim, Copper Danding" should be similar to the "gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins" of their time.
It seems that this era has not yet used convenient "universal currency".
If money is only circulated in one place, it means that the financial environment is not good. If the financial environment is not good, it means that it is difficult for him to raise enough tuition in a short time.
Jia Lan began to worry. He used to be a noble. Although he had no actual "territory", he had a [viscount] salary from [Kolan Castle] every month, which was enough for him to spend.
Moreover, the "Kolan Castle Library" would give a lot of money to people doing research projects every quarter. He was also a librarian, so he didn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The registration period for "Komo University" was only seven days. If you missed it, you would have to wait until next year. Now he was suddenly asked to pay tuition, which was really difficult for him.
"Jia Lan, don't you want to go out for a walk? I heard that in addition to the performances at the school festival, there is also an annual magic market outside, selling all kinds of strange things. I came here specifically to see the school festival!"
Just as he was worrying, Alan suddenly became excited: "It's a pity that the school festival doesn't seem to be ready yet. There may be performances and recruitment meetings tomorrow... But the magic market should be open, let's go and have a look together?"
Alan and Jia Lan had been chatting for so long. Both of them were new here, so they became familiar with each other and warmly invited him to go to the market together.
"Go to the market? Uh, but I don't have money..."
