Chapter 328 The Guiding Mage
The red-brick houses show an extremely elegant and deep beauty under the sunlight, and have a long-standing texture.
Perhaps this is also true.
After all, Sea Sentinel has a long history.
melia sent Gothe to Building No. 6, then said goodbye and left.
After watching Melia leave, Gothe climbed up the steps of Building "6" and came to the second floor. He took out the slightly quaint key he received at the Haiyuan White Tower and put it into the keyhole. With a crisp "click" sound, the door was opened.
The first thing you see is a spacious and bright living room, directly opposite an arched floor-to-ceiling window.
The curtains were not closed, so the sunlight poured in unreservedly, creating patches of mottled light and shadow on the ground.
Gothe put aside the things in his hands for the time being, walked into the window, and looked outside.
Outside the window, there is a river.
It has been half a month since I arrived in Dorne City. Gothe also knows a lot about this place and knows that this is the famous "Yardan River" in Dorne City.
On the other side of the river is the campus of Vanzolen Academy of Magic, which is spread over a large area.
Of course, looking from here, you can only see the high walls of Vanzolen Magic Academy and a riverside walk.
After watching for a while, Gothe began to look at the situation indoors.
This is a three-bedroom and one-living house with an area of about 90 square meters. In addition to the living room, it also includes a bedroom, a meditation room, and a bathroom.
There is no dining room, kitchen, or laundry room.
The reason is also very simple - Gothe saw an accommodation requirement on the table in the living room. The Sea Sentinel hired a dedicated laundress who would come to collect clothes at regular times every day.
He only needs to put the dirty clothes in the clothes basket next to the door, and the washerwoman will take them away, wash them on his behalf, and then send them back after they are dried.
As for the lack of a dining room and kitchen, it is because there is a special canteen right next to the dormitory area.
The most important thing is that these services are all free!
Who said this organization is poor? This organization is great!
The establishment where Gaode worked in his previous life did not have this kind of treatment.
In addition to the welfare introduction, there are also some precautions in the accommodation requirements, such as not allowed to party and drink in the room, not allowed to recruit girls, etc.
There are still many restrictions.
Somewhat like military management, but not so strict.
Gothe watched for a while and got a general understanding, and then planned to go back to the Oakville Hotel where he was staying temporarily and move his luggage there - that place costs 4 silver a day, and the environment and size are far inferior to here.
But before going out, he took a look at the spell formula he received at the White Tower of Haiyuan.
In fact, I have been curious for a long time, but after all, there are others who want to show off, so I have endured it until now.
[Ocean Touch] (Transformation, 1st level):
You make the target's fingers and toes grow webs, which will give the subject extremely fast swimming speed and ability to swim.
At the same time, the subject can use the running action while swimming in a straight line.
This change also affects the target's boots and gloves to adapt to the new form (it does not affect the functioning of magic items).
This spell does not grant the target any ability to breathe underwater.
No wonder it is said that [Ocean Touch] is a basic spell that every Sea Sentinel mage must master.
Without this spell, it would be simply unrealistic for the mage to chase sea beasts in the water based on his own swimming ability.
Without any hesitation, Gothe opened the bottle of [Ocean Touch] magic potion and drank the blue liquid in one gulp.
After checking out of the Oakville Hotel and moving his luggage back to his dormitory, Gothe found another volume of letters that had just been delivered in the mailbox at the door.
It is about matters related to the initial training that will start tomorrow.
Including some simple introductions to the process and the corresponding introductions from the guiding mage, as well as a blank list with numbers one, two and three respectively.
Sea Sentinel's battle mage training courses are different from those in traditional magic academies.
The nature of the courses in the Magic Academy is similar to open classes, but the initial training provided by Sea Sentinel is a one-on-one guidance course.
Hai Sentinel will send a special instructor to be responsible for Gaode’s initial training.
What Gao De has to do is to fill in the name of the corresponding guidance mage according to his own preference according to the introduction in the letter, and then put it back in the mailbox.
Subsequently, someone will come to collect the list, and then notify the corresponding three guiding mages in turn according to the names filled in by Gaode.
If the other party is also willing to be your mentor mage, then the match is considered successful.
If none of the three guiding mages selected by Gothe are willing to guide Gothe, then the senior management of Sea Sentinel will designate a mage.
According to Gaode's understanding, it is equivalent to "first choice, second choice, third choice" and "adjustment".
After carefully reading the introduction and thinking for a moment, Gothe filled in the corresponding names on the list, in order:
Heller, Raven, Mason.
The three guidance mages are all at the third ring level, and they are all senior sea sentinel mages, but they each have their own strengths.
According to the introduction, Master Heller is best at the elemental spells of the evocation system. He has in-depth research on element-related spells and is proficient in the control, synergy and synergy of elemental spells. He can create ingenious effects through the combination of different elemental spells.
Mage Raven is good at protective spells and has a unique understanding of protective spells. In team cooperation tasks, he is extremely popular with other colleagues.
Mage Mason is proficient in field control. He is good at using various spells to change the battlefield situation, restrict the enemy's movement, increase his own power, and take advantage of the environment.
After making his choice, Gothe prepared to go to the canteen to eat. He had been busy reporting for most of the day and was already hungry by now.
Hai Sentinel's large dining hall is located at the edge of the dormitory area. The interior space is extremely spacious, with a high ceiling and rows of long wooden dining tables and benches.
Due to long-term use, the surfaces of these tables and chairs have become very smooth due to friction.
The dining area is at the end, with a larger window, and behind it are the busy figures of the canteen staff.
On the left side of the dining area, there is a dining passage, and opposite the passage is the dining area for the officers and mages.
As a newcomer, Gothe can naturally only be in the ordinary mage dining area.
Going to the window, Gaode received a meal. It was not particularly rich, but the combination was reasonable and had everything that should be included:
It included a staple food of boiled potatoes, grilled chicken, stewed cabbage, carrots and onions, bone soup made with root vegetables, and dried fruits, which were both fruits and desserts.
There is also an additional drink, you can choose from malt wine and black tea.
Although it is a meal, there are not many people in the dining area, only about ten people, and there are still many empty tables.
Gaode randomly chose a seat and sat down and started eating.
At this time, the radio-like alchemy machine hung in the corner of the cafeteria suddenly rang, and a gentle female voice came from inside:
"On the 5th day of the frost gold month of this year, after receiving Tyrion's After the Chamber of Commerce asked for help, Lieutenant Colonel Riley from the middle stage of the fourth ring arrived in time and wiped out the giant moray eels that attacked the merchant ship. Among them were a king giant moray eel from the middle stage of the fourth ring and nearly ten giant moray eels from the early stage of the fourth ring. They won second class merit."
"Sergeant Terry, who was in the early stage of the Second Ring, encountered a sea monster in the later stage of the Second Stage due to incorrect reporting of information while performing a mission. Although his heroic fight failed to destroy the sea monster, he successfully repelled the opponent and won the second-class merit."
"The selection for the Sea Sentinel this quarter has ended, and only one person has passed the re-examination."
Gaode listened for a while and found that all the recent news in the Sea Sentinel was played.
The main ones were military merit reports. He even appeared on the radio once, but his name was not mentioned directly.
Gaode noticed that other people in the canteen looked calm about this, as if they didn't hear it. It seemed that they were used to it.
And from the "broadcast", he discovered some more details:
The evaluation criteria for this military merit are very comprehensive, and it not only depends on the strength of the sea beasts destroyed, but also takes into account the strength of the mage himself.
For example, Master Terry in the early stage of the second level can only get second-class merit by simply driving away a sea beast in the late second level. Lieutenant Colonel Riley can only get second-class merit by annihilating ten fourth-level earth-line creatures in one battle.
Haiyuan White Tower.
A short meeting is being held.
A dozen Sea Sentinel mages who also serve as guidance mages are sitting around a table made of a single piece of black oak.
One of the slim mage was shaking his head and speaking bluntly.
"I don't want to be his mentor."
His voice echoed in the silent conference room, causing a slight commotion.
For a time, the atmosphere in the room became a little subtle.
The mage sitting in the main seat did not react much when he saw this. The expression on his face was very indifferent, and he just said: "Reason?"
“The legacy of the Oakenshield Florian family embodies the wisdom and hard work of the family’s ancestors, and the Florian family has a glorious heritage and a long history.”
“He can abandon his country and join our Plantagenet King. At this point, this is not in line with the glorious doctrine that the Florian family adheres to. I don’t want to be a mentor for a mage from another country who has different ideas. This will damage the honor of the family."
Other mentors secretly admire his directness.
The mage on the main seat did not say anything, but looked to the other side, "Raven, what about you? Is this the same reason for you?"
“Captain Merrick, I have seen his retest battle. His fighting style is obviously different from mine, and he has been a wandering mage for so long. The combat system is not finalized, but it must have his own style. It can only be fine-tuned and is not suitable for major changes. I won’t let you down.” Master Raven’s reasons are much better.
felt; "Zhuo Jue, so I don't want to be this mentor. My abilities are limited and I don't have the confidence to fully unleash his potential. I don't want to delay such an outstanding talent because of my incompetence." The reason given by Master Mason was even more grand.
The other guiding mages had different thoughts when they heard this, but they all remained silent.
In fact, they know what they are thinking, the concept, the combat system, and the maximum limit are all excuses.
The so-called guidance mage is not even named as a mentor, because it is really just a simple guidance, and is only responsible for establishing basic combat system knowledge for newcomers.
As for what the other party will become in the end, it still depends on the other party.
The reason for such a consistent attitude is actually very simple. It is because Gao De was not a native of the Plantagenet dynasty.
Although it is said that after the Sea Sentinel's backstory, it has been determined that there is no problem with his identity and origin, no one can guarantee anything in this matter.
Perhaps he hid it well?
Furthermore, even if there is really no problem with Gothe's identity and origin, he is not from the Plantagenet dynasty after all. He may have other intentions in the future, and it is not impossible for him to be bribed by the Holy Empire with benefits.
This kind of thing has not happened before. They have witnessed the precedent of Master Jaden thirty years ago, and even this matter still has a certain impact on the Sea Sentinel.
They don’t want to be involved in this kind of thing.
If this Gaode really achieves success in the future, will they gain any benefits?
Basically not possible.
But if something happens to Gaode, it may have a negative impact on them and delay their own future.
In their eyes, Gaode is a hot potato.
These guiding mages are each more skilled than the other, and they don’t want to take this risk at all.
"Okay, since none of you want to"
Captain Merrick was silent for a while, looking at the expressionless old man in the corner, "Master Naxi, it's up to you, following the guidance of Master Jaden before. You are also a mage, you have experience. "
"Can you?"
"I understand." The old man named Master Naxi replied expressionlessly, his voice was low and hoarse, then he stood up slowly and left the room.
His back is a little stooped.
"Since Master Naxi has agreed, let's arrange it like this and let everyone disperse." Seeing this, Captain Merrick was not annoyed by the other party's "rudeness".
When all the mages present saw this, they were slightly relieved, stood up one after another, bowed slightly to Captain Merrick, and then left in twos and threes.
They were still talking quietly about something as they left the stage.
"Master Naxi is also unlucky. Not only did he meet Master Jaden, but now Master Jaden wants to take over this new man"
"Oh, don't say that, Master Naxi is already very pitiful. He finally got a daughter in his old age, but he was killed by his most trusted student."
Frost Gold Moon, 23rd.
Collingwood Art Gallery.
Gaode got up early and arrived in front of the gym fifteen minutes in advance of the stipulated time.
This is his habit. In his previous life, he was never late for class.
It is not only a concept of time, but also respect for teachers and knowledge.
The staff at the entrance of the art museum came up to him the moment he saw Gaode, "Master Mage, please show your identification."
Gaode took out his identity tag.
The other party took it and took out a box-like alchemy machine with a slot on it that matched the identity plate.
He inserted Gaode's ID tag into it, and then the whole box lit up slightly, flashing green light.
The staff took out the identification tag and returned it to Gaode. While pushing open the door of the gym, he said respectfully: "Master Gaode, welcome."
