Chapter 201: Heading to the Mage Tower_4
What were killed when first using the cutting magic?
Lindong was familiar with Rowena's fighting style; the latter always liked to gather enough intelligence beforehand, meticulously setting up the scene. Sometimes she would even prepare a dozen scrolls of cutting magic in advance.
Maybe that's how she did it the first time.
Fearing failure and anxious, she drew many scrolls at once, enough to slice the corpse into fragments after killing the target.
"This shows my extraordinary talent!"
Rowena got up from the ground and sat cross-legged, with an unnatural smile on her face, "Anyway, although my relationship with the mentor fell apart, I still gained the opportunity to participate in the assessment."
Ethan was noncommittal, "That means that the advancement method for magicians is somewhat similar to that of Elemental Shapers, as both adopt a learn-and-examine system."
The dilemma faced by the two is also the same.
Before the Lindong Witch emerged, it had been several hundred years since the academy produced a Saint.
Successive deans were stuck at the fourth rank, no matter how outstanding they were when young or how hopeful the expectations, they could not cross that final threshold in their lifetime.
Essentially, the advancement of the Lindong Witch was completely different from the academy's educational philosophy; she forcefully carved out a path that belonged to her.
That's the strength of the teacher.
Essentially, Ethan feels that he is following Lindong's lead; from the moment he started learning Elemental Magic, he stood on the shoulders of giants, as the teacher had already been at the academy's helm, summarizing a new system and detailing it in "Fireball and Ice Arrow Magic Power Study."
Rowena was puzzled, "You mean, I should also make friends with 'magic'?"
But Elemental Shapers and magicians differ fundamentally.
Elemental Elves truly exist, they have been around since the moment the world was born, their existence predates humans significantly, yet magic essentially is the development and utilization of magic power. Currently, all known spells were created by predecessors.
Does she have to use Spirit Communication Technique to summon the soul of a deceased Magic Master to befriend?
Ethan proposed, "Take a trip to the mage tower, perhaps you can find answers there."
A short while ago, he had received an invitation from the current scholar but had been delayed due to Ophira's matters. He had long planned a visit to the mage tower.
It was a hall personally crafted by the God of Trickery, after the Astrology Guild's exchanges with the Empire became increasingly close, the Magic Master established a Teleportation Magic Array in the capital.
"The mage tower's Magic Masters probably won't welcome my arrival."
Rowena was a bit hesitant; her relationship with scholars was never friendly.
She heard that the Astrology Guild also split into two factions regarding her issues; the Magic Masters who hosted the wheelchair event in the capital focused on responding to the Empire's call, emulating the doctors of the current Empire, steering the guild toward "professionalization," rapidly recruiting numerous apprentices, and establishing formal magic societies in various cities.
The other faction returned to the mage tower, which also included the scholars themselves.
The scholar publicly declared needing some seclusion and left the guild's development to others.
"This is the scholar's personal invitation, whereas you are the magic consultant on the team."
Ethan said.
Rowena perked up, "You're right; am I afraid of them?"
...
Communications with the mage tower went smoothly; both parties arranged a visiting time with just a phone call.
Before departure, Rowena meticulously groomed herself.
This would be her first visit to the mage tower; in the past, only a few Great Mages had the honor.
An elegant Magic Master robe, a silver-tone pointed hat, and the ebony wand she used since her apprenticeship.
Similarly, Lindong also prepared carefully.
The preparation was drinking a large bottle of invisibility potion before departure.
"I heard there are many prohibited books in the mage tower that are not publicly available?"
The strong curiosity made the cat very excited immediately.
She transformed into a cat, pretended to be adorableb y lying on Ethan's shoulder, but in reality, she was a bad cat planning to do mischief.
Ethan was familiar with teleportation magic.
His sight twisted, golden magic power dots occupied his view, and then dispersed after a moment.
When his vision cleared, he found himself already inside the grand palace.
What greeted him was an old friend.
The sullen man barely showed them a stiff smile.
Ethan stepped forward and offered his left hand to the man, "Mr. Silver Fox, it seems you've recovered well."
He heard about this Great Mage's situation from abroad, that he had been lying in the Imperial City Hospital for quite a few months, recovering health only recently.
"Thanks to you."
Silver Fox shook Ethan's right hand, giving a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
Recently, he's also heard many stories about Ethan and knows some insider information unknown to others.
For instance, the Ice Arrow scroll that Anna bought from Fireplace Bay was crafted by this man.
