Wizard Calendar, Year 32856, 12th of May.
The first batch of Gnome Apprentices that were recruited passed through the Teleportation Portal and appeared in the public Teleportation Room on the first floor of the White Tower.
Little Loke was the youngest among the group of Gnomes.
He was short and small, about half the height of a human. He had wide feet, dark green rough skin, a strangely twisted nose, and a pair of large soft ears. This was how Gnomes usually looked like.
Although Locke was slightly more handsome, in the eyes of the mutated people, almost all goblins looked the same. They couldn't tell any difference.
Unfortunately, even with the Wizard's Pagoda's Energy Field Barrier, most of the Gnomes were still firmly pressed to the cold floor by the Wizard World's vast and obscure Will of the Dimension the moment they passed through. Many of the weaker Gnomes even fainted before they could even make a sound.
Faced with such a scene, the person in charge of the Teleportation Portal seemed to be prepared. Young men and women wearing short apprentice robes walked into the Teleportation Portal and fed each of the fainted Gnomes a mouthful of blue potion. As for those who were still conscious, they did not do anything to them.
Locke had always been a physically strong individual since he was a child. Although he felt the heavy pressure that was everywhere and constantly crushing his body and spirit, he successfully withstood it and didn't faint.
He saw a young human girl crouching beside him and giving her companion a mouthful of blue potion. The dizzy and confused companion immediately woke up. Locke licked his lips enviously and asked in a low voice, "Can... I... take a sip too?"
Little Loke spoke in the common language of the Wizard World.
Ever since the Gnome Dimension was occupied by the Wizards, this common language of the other dimension had become a profound language that the upper class of the Gnome Empire had to master. Little Loke was very honored. Due to his talent and intelligence, he was also chosen to be part of the first batch to go to the Wizard World.
This was a young female apprentice with a beautiful face. Her slender body was undoubtedly revealed under the thin cloth robe. Her personality was also very gentle and quiet. She did not have any discrimination against these "low-level" servants from another dimension.
"You don't have to drink it. The fact that you were able to resist the suppression of the plane's consciousness with your own mind shows that your spiritual talent is very good. Work hard to etch this strange feeling into your heart. It will be crucial to your future development. "
The female Lehrling's words were soft and sweet, calming Locke's fearful heart once more.
After a full 15 minutes, all the goblin acolytes slowly moved out of the teleportation circle under the instructions of a Magus. There were faint sounds of sobbing in the group. Five of their companions had died because they couldn't withstand the suppression of the plane.
This was the result of the Wizard Pagoda's Force Field Defense, which weakened part of the Plane's suppression. If not for the Wizard's Pagoda, more than half of the Gnomes that were teleported here would have died.
After all, the Sorcerer World was tens of thousands of times stronger than the Goblin Plane. The high-magic environment and plane pressure here were no less than riding a roller coaster for the creatures of the lower planes. Those with weaker bodies would be eliminated immediately.
There were a total of 40 Gnomes that were teleported here. Excluding the five that had died, there were 35 left. Among them were experienced Gnome engineers, as well as skilled Gnome technicians. However, most of them were young, intelligent, and talented Gnomes.
As the servants of the Sorcerers, they were allowed to live at the bottom level of the Wizard's Pagoda. There, every five Gnomes were assigned to a stone room. Other than a simple wooden bed and a common wooden table, there was nothing else.
The young female apprentice that Locke had gotten to know, Eke, lived on the second level of the Wizard's Pagoda. Their treatment was far better than the young Gnomes. They had single rooms, and they could even go to more places in the Wizard's Pagoda than the young Gnomes.
As the new servants of the Sorcerers, the first thing that Locke and the rest of the Gnomes did after settling down in the White Tower was to systematically learn the common language of the Sorcerer World. They also had a comprehensive understanding of the general situation of the Sorcerer World, as well as its minerals, flora, and fauna.
To be honest, the difficulty and pain of a large group of Gnomes sitting on tall wooden stools that could not touch the ground and learning a new language from their language teacher was unimaginable. Furthermore, among these Gnomes, there was no lack of old Gnomes with white hair and beards, as well as strong Gnome technicians.
Such a large group of Gnomes of different ages and occupations, using strange accents to recite the common language of the Sorcerer World. That comical scene was hilarious.
Even though most of the Gnomes' learning ability gave the human scholars who came to teach them a headache, the intelligent young Gnomes like Locke still won the praise of all the scholars and teachers.
Thus, under the personal intervention of the Wizards on the top level of the White Tower, seven Gnomes, led by Locke, were selected. They moved to the second level of the Wizard's Pagoda and began learning exactly like the human apprentices.
At this time, only a month and a half had passed since Locke arrived at the White Tower. The second batch of forty Gnomes appeared in the Teleportation Formation.
…
In the Wizard Hall on the eighth level of the White Tower.
Meryl and Xue Fu were looking at the Monitoring Crystal on the wooden table in front of them. The crystal was showing the scene within the Teleportation Formation on the first level of the Wizard's Pagoda. As the assistant of the Tower Master, the old fox Venlier was waiting by the side.
"Cough, another six Gnomes have died …" Looking at the Gnomes in the Teleportation Formation, Meryl scanned the area with her mental energy and knew the final outcome.
"It can't be helped. After all, the Gnome Dimension is not the real Wizard's Pagoda. Without being able to reduce the power of the Teleportation Formation, it is inevitable that the Gnomes whose bodies and minds are not up to standard will die during the teleportation! " Xue Fu's cold gaze also scanned the Monitoring Crystal, then asked in confusion, "What is that teacher of yours up to? To let these Gnomes learn together with us Witch Apprentices, this … If the Witch Council finds out about this, those conservative old fellows will definitely come and destroy the White Tower. "
After saying this, Xue Fu revealed a faint smile, as if she was already imagining the furious expressions of the conservative witches.
"Teacher's intentions are very clear! The Gnomes who pass the test and meet the mental energy standards will be nurtured as Wizard Apprentices for a while. As for those who do not meet the standards, they will all be chased out of the tower and sent to those … those high energy food processing plants to work … "
Hearing the person in charge of the Wizard's Pagoda recite these strange and absurd words in an obscure tone, the smile in Xue Fu's eyes became even more intense.
That strange wizard high up in the sky would always come up with some unimaginable ideas. For example, the Magical Energy Food Processing Plants this time would target those mortals who did not have any extraordinary powers. More accurately, it was targeted at the middle and low level human nobles.
The White Tower was adjacent to the Black Forest, and the resources of Magical Beasts there had never been before!
In the past, when Wizards or apprentices hunted, they only needed to satisfy the White Tower's own food requirements. As for specially processing some Magical Beast meat for the human nobles, there had never been such a precedent.
After all, the Sorcerer World was centered around the Sorcerer community, and all considerations of benefits were based on the Sorcerer community. Now that the Sorcerer World had cast aside the Sorcerer community, and specialized in some high-energy Magical Beast meat for the human nobles, this had never been attempted before.
After all, in the Sorcerer World, there was almost no overlap between Sorcerers and mortals!
Sorcerers were the rulers, and mortals were the ants and lambs under the protection of the Sorcerers, while the human nobles were the shepherd dogs that assisted the Sorcerers in managing the flock of sheep. To make the noble Sorcerers lower their heads and consider some matters for the nobles and mortals, this … This was something that would never happen!
Although some low-grade Sorcerers in dire straits would bow to the nobles and become consultants, there were very few of them. These fellows who had lost their dignity as Sorcerers were basically excluded from the mainstream Magi circle.
As for people like Grim, who was a powerful rank 2 Fire Magus and the leader of a rising Magus family, he did not consider how to build a good relationship with other Magi, but instead thought about how to 'serve' the low-grade human nobles. This … was indeed out of Cheff's expectations!
What did the nobles have?
It was just some shiny gold coins, oil paintings, vases, and animal fur … Was there any use in trading these 'rubbish' from them? After all, the only currency in the Magus community was magic crystals …
Thus, Cheff only felt that Lord Grim's thoughts were unimaginable, and even a little ridiculous. However, the Crimson Family was his, and the White Tower was also his. He could do whatever he wanted.
Thus, the Ice Maiden Xue Fu watched every step of the White Tower's development like a bystander!
"Lady Cheff, you're recruiting commoners?"
"Don't worry, Magus Meryl. After I sent the news back to the Tower of Destiny, Leader Alice placed great importance on this matter, and has already started transferring people from the nearby territories. I estimate that the first batch of people will arrive in two months, and there will be 300 of them. When the time comes, you'll have to make some preparations beforehand … "
