… What did he mean by that? A great sorcerer wanted to join the ranks of the academy's teachers?
Lin leaned forward and asked, "Won't your teacher be angry if you do this?"
"What's wrong with me? Sorcerers are free, and I don't have a long-term position in the Leon District. It's normal for me to ask you for a job when I'm in debt to earn some money for my living expenses. "
"I should welcome a great sorcerer to join the academy. But to be honest, the salary I can give you as a teacher is not enough for you. With your status, even if it's just a nominal position, it's better than staying in the academy for a year and a half. " Because they were all teaching magic apprentices and not some profound magic theory, the salary offered by Lin was not high. The implication of this sentence was: What exactly do you want?
This great sorcerer had a wide range of friends, so how could he be stumped by mere vigilance? He took out a thick book and placed it on the table. "The other purpose is, of course, this."
Lin knew what this book was just by looking at its thickness. It was the thickest book in the history of the Lost Land, and was called the crazy Language P by the copyists.
In the ancient times of China on Earth, why were books recorded in classical Chinese? It was because the materials used as carriers were very precious and did not allow the authors to write a lot of nonsense and superfluous words. If Confucius read the novel of Huanzhu Zhu, the great sage would cry and fall to the ground. Instead, he would hit the head of the person who wrote the book with a pointer.
Today's situation in the Lost Land was similar. Although paper, animal skin, cloth, and other written media were not as rare as in ancient times, every book was recorded word by word by the copyists. They were as precious as gems and gold. This was also the library that Lin set up for the academy. There were only a few thin books as a facade, and most of the knowledge was based on virtual files on the forum.
Seeing the weight of this book, it was indeed able to shock others. Even the original author looked helplessly at this book that could be used as a weapon. Juan Javier smiled and said, "I've finished reading Language P, and I have a rough understanding of it. But if I want to understand your public browser and server programs, it seems that it is still not enough. That's why I'm here. "
Communication between Master Mages, especially when it came to magic that had already been made public, had always been straightforward. If they were afraid of discussing it with others, they shouldn't have made the contents public in the first place. In other words, it was those ultimate moves that were hidden as secrets. If others wanted to know about them, they would use all kinds of methods, including spying, stealing, and coercion.
In the past, P Language had not been made public, which was why so many people had tried to find out about it. Now that he was exposed to the light of day, he could only blame himself for not being able to see through it. Only a very small number of sorcerers would admit their own shortcomings, put down their pride, and try to seek advice from the original author. Among them, even fewer would admit their own shortcomings and see the shortcomings of the content at the same time.
Therefore, one really couldn't underestimate anyone. Even if the other party came from a magical world with backward technology, the weight of a genius was still quite heavy no matter which world it was in. Fen was like that, and so was Juan Javier in front of him.
However, since the other party had come with a request, just like Eli Huber, Lin didn't intend to keep him at arm's length, even if he was a great sorcerer. What should be squeezed would be squeezed, and what should be exchanged would be exchanged. In the end, everyone would be able to obtain something that satisfied them.
After all, no one was a fool who only gave. Some people did it for fame, some for profit, some for self-satisfaction, and some for the satisfaction of their desires.
But since he wanted to let a great sorcerer become a member of the academy, Lin naturally had to reveal some of his future plans to him, so that they could cooperate better.
Moreover, although Juan Javier appeared to be very free and easy, and didn't care about trifles, it didn't mean that others could treat him vaguely. At the very least, Lin still discussed the conditions with the other party very seriously, and carefully recorded it in black and white so that there wouldn't be any basis to refer to when there might be a dispute in the future. Putting aside the Lich, if they were to meet force with force, he would be the one at a disadvantage.
This was the most basic way to protect the interests of both parties. Juan might not question or fight for better conditions, but he also listened very seriously.
When Lin had said everything that could be said and given everything that could be said, he asked the great sorcerer if there was anything else that he needed.
"Sir, you said that I can have a research room. Can I live here? "
"Well, I don't object to it. After all, the main function of this house is to live in. The students also live here, so there's no reason why people can't live here. But their daily routine may affect you. Is that okay? "
"That's a small matter. Anyway, I don't have a house to stay in in Wulian City. Staying in a hotel is not as comfortable as here, and the guest house is too expensive. If you can save, save. Everything else can be discussed. "Juan Javier laughed.
In fact, what really amazed him was the toilets that were everywhere in the academy, as well as the large public bath that separated men and women. The latter was still okay. Some nobles who lived luxurious lives, or people who had ancestors who were called fatuous rulers or tyrants, usually left behind such facilities in their castles. But the former was unseen and unheard of.
Eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping were the five most important things in life. Eating and drinking were fastidious, and sleeping comfortably was not a big problem. But as far as defecating and defecating was concerned, there was not much progress in the past thousands of years. Now that he saw the ingenious design, it was convenient and comfortable, and most importantly, it was very clean and easy to maintain. These were the reasons why Juan Javier wanted to live here.
The only fly in the ointment was that if he wanted to defecate in the middle of the night, he would have to walk a distance to the toilet, and he could not just pick up the urinal by the bed and do it. But this also prevented him from drinking until he was thirsty in the middle of the night, picking up the urinal by the bed and …
Some unbearable memories should be forgotten. Life was about looking forward and moving forward.
When the discussion reached a certain point, Lin asked the two noisy apprentices to invite the dormitory leader, Madam Duli. Of course, it was about arranging the accommodation for Juan Javier and his apprentice. Also, John Goodman, who would arrive in the afternoon, also needed a room.
Regarding the allocation of rooms in the academy, because the maze world was also based on the left, the children's dormitories were allocated from the end of the first floor on the right side.
Eight people to a room, four bunk beds, and a large long table in the middle of the room, which acted as everyone's desk. In the corner of the room was a shared wardrobe, and there were also a few small lockers. Even so, there was still enough space in the room, and it did not feel cramped at all. One could imagine how big the room was originally.
Although this was a large and luxurious house, Lin did not want the children to live too comfortably and luxuriously, so he deliberately arranged for them to share a room.
Moreover, it was expected that there would be more people living here in the future, and he did not know how long they would stay before leaving. Would they graduate after a fixed number of years, or would they leave after becoming official mages? In such uncertain circumstances, it was necessary to conserve space as much as possible.
Classrooms, meeting rooms, and other functional rooms were distributed on the left and right sides of the second floor. The room of the dormitory leader, Madam Duli, was a single room next to the door on the first floor, and behind it was the dining room and kitchen. Behind it were several storerooms, storage rooms, and a large bathtub. The library was located across the central hall, opposite the dormitory leader's room.
The mages' research rooms and dormitories were allocated from the left side of the second floor. Compared to the disadvantages of distance and inconvenience, the mages actually cared more about peace and quiet. Eli Huber was allocated a room, and because Juan Javier had a student who had already become an official mage, he was allocated two rooms. The rooms were connected, and the master and disciple were free to decide how to use them, and Lin did not interfere.
As for Lin's own room, it was on the third floor of the central protrusion. On the same floor, there were two basic meditation rooms. It was not that he could not set up a more advanced meditation room, as Lin had already gathered all the necessary materials, but there was no need for that at the moment.
Firstly, it was expensive, and it was a problem who could use it; Secondly, the materials used to set it up were collected in the era of the Tower of the Great Sage, and were considered private property. Lin did not want to bet all his wealth on an academy that was still in its early stages of establishment.
John Goodman's room, on the other hand, was arranged opposite the library, and also next to the central hall on the first floor. As the warrior instructor who was mainly in charge of the children's daily life, he was also responsible for the arrangement of the safety work in the academy.
It was also when he was discussing with Mrs. Duli how to arrange for John Goodman that Juan Javier, who was following them, became interested in this follower who originally belonged to the Master Wizard Grimwin. He inquired about this person's experience and the things that he would be responsible for in the future, and he could not help but ask in detail.
He almost thought that this rather famous great mage in the Leon District was gay, and even liked old men. Juan Javier, however, turned his head and said to his student, "Although you are qualified to be a mage, you haven't made many close friends of the same age. Do you want to take this opportunity to train with those children and grow together? "
Anmarie, who had been happily chatting with Halloumi and Kaya, immediately shook her head like a rattle drum when she heard this. She even said resolutely, "I definitely don't want to."
Juan Javier smiled awkwardly when he met with a hard rebuff from his own student. But such a strong rejection, could it be that her rare talent made her foresee something bad, so she was so resistant? In this regard, Juan Javier felt a trace of vigilance in his heart. Perhaps the person in front of him had nothing to do with the summoning of the demons, but the resurrection of the Demon King was inseparable.
