On the first day of school in the Old Magic Institute, a competition worthy of being recorded in the annals of history began and ended quickly.
Time passed quickly and the results were bizarre. People couldn't believe their eyes. There were very few records in history of winning from half a circle to one circle, but no one could do it so easily. He didn't even use his strongest trump card and only relied on a small spell to win. This sounded even more ridiculous than making up a story. However, the Sixth Sage Tang Shidao really did it.
That night, the mages and apprentices of the Old Magic Institute were celebrating.
The place of entertainment that had always been occupied by apostles was now filled with mages. Occasionally, an apostle would enter, but when they saw that the hall was filled with mages, they would silently leave. They felt very sullen, but they couldn't raise their voice today. They believed in their hearts that they wouldn't be able to raise their voice for a long time.
Unless that 'figure' collapsed, they wouldn't be able to speak loudly for a while.
At this time.
"Although I already guessed that the rooms would be very small, I didn't expect the Old Magic Institute to be so short on land. Isn't this planet several thousand times bigger than the sun? Each student has a room the size of a toilet? "When Tang Shidao returned to his dorm, he lost all his mood after taking a look.
"This is free." Lan Ji expressed that this was normal.
"Free is too small. What else can it fit apart from a bed?" Tang Shidao was speechless.
"Entering the Old Magic Institute doesn't require any money. Food and accommodation are all free. This is already quite good." Lan Ji activated the nameplate and found a string of shocking numbers. She then said, "Do you see this? This is the 'population' of this place. Other than the apostles and mages, there are also the family members of the apostles, the apprentices or children of the mages, or the special workers needed here. Most importantly, some intelligent void beasts will also enter. They want to ride on your coattails and live a carefree life. "
"This number … … the entire planet is filled right?" Tang Shidao didn't dare to calculate when he saw this number. It was too long.
"What do you think? Not to mention the surface, even the underground is full. You still don't know, right? All gigantic beasts have to learn how to transform. If they exceed ten meters, they have to shrink. Otherwise, you won't be allowed to live here. There is no safe place in the void. The Holy Magic Academy is relatively safe, so all the intelligent beings nearby have come here, "Lan Ji explained.
"Can we change to another dorm? It's too small. It's like sleeping in a coffin, "Tang Shidao asked.
"If it's a Rat Orc dormitory, it's already considered good to have a coffin to sleep in. You definitely can't change your dorm, even if you're a 'celebrity'. If you want to upgrade your accommodation, you can change to a proper house if you are a Saint Realm Mage. But don't worry, there are many things that can be solved with money here. "
"The academy sells buildings?"
"Of course not. It's just the houses on the empty islands outside the planet. It's a place built by some merchants under the apostles. "
"The rules were set by the academy, right? Since the school doesn't do this kind of business, why does it still require money? "
Lan Ji knew that Tang Shidao would not be able to live in such a small dormitory, so she led the others to walk him to the street. "Do you find it strange? You won't find it strange when you walk on the street."
Soon.
Tang Shidao discovered that the crowd on the street was denser than he had imagined.
There were many with three hands or eight legs. There were also many with four heads or twelve eyes. Their bodies were not big, at most about two meters. On the street, there were countless humanoid races with only two hands and two legs. Tang Shidao had seen the density of the Spring Festival and the Nests of the Sin Galaxy, but compared to this place, it was still weaker.
The Old Devil Academy was not only packed with people on the streets, but also the second floor walkway, the third floor walkway, the balcony, the roof, the tower, and so on.
At a glance.
Other than the entrance of the shops and the entrance of the houses, everywhere was a sea of people.
The road?
It didn't exist.
Here, even tools that couldn't fly couldn't be moved, unless you passed through.
What was surprising was.
The security here was very good. Because there were countless magic machines patrolling in the air, ordinary people had no chance to do anything evil. Small thieves would be locked down before they could even reach out. Those who wanted to rob would be 'petrified' or 'bound' before they could even finish shouting. Even if someone was injured, after a heal, there would be magic machines that knew resurrection.
Committing crimes here was purely asking for a beating, or asking for a beating for nothing.
"Honorable sir, do you need workers?"
"Honorable sir, do you need service? I'm very cheap, one gold can accompany you for a month. "
"Honorable sir, do you need special potions? I have the channels."
"Honorable sir …"
Men, women, merchants, and even the elderly and children, when they passed by, there were people who came up to them and asked in a low voice.
Because Tang Shidao and the others were all wearing the academy's uniform, no one dared to speak loudly, and no one dared to block them. When they saw that they ignored them, they didn't dare to pester them. On this super-large planet, only mages and apostles could wear the academy's uniform. They were just ordinary people, they couldn't afford to offend such an existence.
"Do you see that? We don't need money, but they do." Lan Ji gestured.
"They don't lack food and clothing, right?" Tang Shidao usually maintained his mortal state, seeing this sea of people, he couldn't help but feel a bit of pressure.
Looking at them from the perspective of a god, these people were just dust.
Looking at them from the perspective of a human, the scene was shocking.
Lan Ji lightly shook her head. "They don't lack food and clothing, they're basically provided for free. There are many mages in the academy, and many magic machines. If you want to weave or plant something, it's just a matter of lifting a finger, you can even let the machines do it. What they lack here is space to 'live'. For example, those silkworm-like things over there are people and sleeping bags. They don't have a place to live, they can only live like this. "
Tang Shidao knew that there were also poor people like 'sleeping under the bridge' on Earth Emperor Planet, but the people here were more fortunate.
At least they wouldn't get sick.
They didn't lack food or clothing, and they didn't lack the protection of magic machines. The reason they needed money was simple: they wanted to change their lives, they wanted to raise their status! Arcanite wasn't worth much, but it was still a magic material. If mages were 100 points, then there were 99 points, 98 points, all the way to 10 points, 9 points, and the lowest one point people.
These people weren't qualified to deal with mages, but they could deal with people with 2 points.
What did they rely on to climb up?
Arcanite coins!
Lan Ji explained as they walked, and the four of them soon arrived at a special shop, one that was almost empty.
Just as they were about to enter …
Suddenly, a few middle-aged men dressed as merchants hurriedly ran out. "Mages, please wait."
Lan Ji frowned. "Don't worry, we're buying a house. I know the price."
One of the merchants stepped forward and bowed with a smile. "You're Miss Lan Ji, right? I know why you're here. Please forgive me, but I can't sell you a house. Oh, it's not that I'm unwilling, there's a reason. Normally, if a famous person like the Sixth Sage came, we wouldn't have a problem giving you an island for free. But today … please forgive me, I really … really … "
The merchants lowered their heads and smiled, but they looked like they were about to cry.
"Orders from the apostles?" Lan Ji immediately understood. Mages normally didn't do this kind of business, it was all for the apostles to enjoy life.
"This … this …" The merchants didn't dare answer.
If there really was a ranking, they would at most be 3 or 4 points. It would be strange if they dared to say anything bad about their master.
"We can't buy it anywhere else, right?"
"This …" The merchants didn't dare say anything, only nodding slightly.
"Un, I understand. Don't worry, we aren't so free as to make things difficult for small people like you. "Lan Ji indicated for everyone to retreat.
At this time.
Meimo suddenly said, "Let's get a mobile castle, it's not that troublesome anyway."
Lan Ji shook her head, "It's not just this problem, Meimo. I'm guessing that apart from houses, we can't buy alchemy ores, magic materials, magic tools, potions, and other things unless we buy them from mages. Most of the merchants on this planet are apostles' subordinates, mages aren't interested in being merchants, at most they do some small business for their families. "
"Is there any meaning to this, we can still get the materials when we go back?" Wu Yue-er asked.
"If that's the case, they are forcing us to retreat. Everyone, this is the void, no one is talking reason with you. To be able to make things difficult for Tang, it's a matter of pride for the apostles. You understand, they don't need benefits, they will do it if they feel good. Under normal circumstances, mages and apostles wouldn't be in such a deadlock, there might be people who are deliberately trying to sow discord. "
"Can this make things difficult for us? Other than a bigger house, we don't need anything. "Wu Yue-er asked again.
"Actually, we need." Lan Ji said lightly, as if she was thinking, "Do you know what's the most expensive thing in Super Magic Academy? The first is alchemy potions, the second is scrolls, and the third is magic tools. Other than theory classes, there are also a lot of combat classes, sometimes it's not strange to go out for combat training every day. Normal students don't leave the planet without a few bottles of resurrection potions. "
Hearing this, Tang Shidao and the others understood.
This was a mission!
In the endless void, not only was survival guaranteed, basic necessities were also a type of mission of normal difficulty. Once things became like this, reducing the supply of resources, it would become 'difficult mode'. Of course, mages could go back, spend money to summon scarecrows, go back home to stock up, and then come back for consumption.
This really wasn't difficult.
But this also meant … … you were defeated by the difficulty.
The old Magic Academy definitely wouldn't care about these small things, and mages didn't have the habit of crying and going back to find their father. The apostles making things difficult for them was also a type of test. If mages retreated because they were afraid of the 'mission', not only would the apostles laugh at them, even the mages would despise them.
Tang Shidao didn't feel anything.
Not only did the Book of Ten Thousand Spells have a hundred planets in the Fantasy Ocean, there was also an entire galaxy in the Nefarious Galaxy. Materials and so on, they could be easily obtained.
The strange thing was.
"Lan Ji, you said that someone is trying to sow discord between me and the apostles, who benefits from this?"
"It doesn't benefit us or the apostles, but it benefits the void races. In many records, the mages of the Supreme Magic Academy fought with the apostles, but in the end, the academy was flattened by the void beasts. Tang, mages have different factions, gods can also be enemies. There are people in the void who seek refuge, so naturally there are people who are hostile to us. "
"So that's how it is." Tang Shidao nodded.
"Tang, when we enter the void, we don't only face a group of 'enemies'. The apostles are our opponents, mages can also be our opponents. More importantly, the void is constantly changing, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. The missions on the Mage Network are there, you can take them or not. The void is different, if a group of beasts comes tomorrow, we have to fight, you can't avoid this' mission '. Today is the first day, you have a big battle, this isn't strange at all. Maybe you will have a big battle tomorrow, maybe there will be a big battle after … … This is the void, no one knows what will happen in the future. "
Hearing this.
Suddenly, Tang Shidao understood why the sage realm was just the beginning: the sage realm only entered the void!
Actually, the sage realm wasn't the beginning.
It should be said … … the void was the beginning of a mage's journey!
"Since you said so, then I will enter the sage realm first, then slowly face this unknown void." Tang Shidao understood and decided to officially take the first step.
"Are you going into seclusion?"
