"An invitation? An invitation to participate in the annual evaluation? "
When an invitation was placed in front of Rorschach, he was a little surprised.
He had been here for three or four months already. He was no longer a newbie who knew nothing about the Mage World.
Typically speaking, the more stable social organizations would always have year-end evaluations and such.
Not only would this be a platform for the powerful individuals to show off their achievements and achievements for the year, it would also be an opportunity for the various major organizations and societies to compare their strength. Of course, this was also the best opportunity for the various departments and organizations to communicate and deepen their relationships (fight and show off).
Annual evaluation, annual evaluation, and year-end evaluation. No matter what they were called, they were all essentially the same.
The Mage Country was no exception. Since the Mage Country was essentially an amalgamation of countless magical societies and academic organizations, it was only natural that there would be a platform for discussion and discussion.
"An invitation for me? Are you certain? "
Rorschach received a fiery red invitation to participate in the Mage Country's annual seminar next month.
Rorschach had heard of this seminar before. The Mage Country's academic atmosphere was quite strong. About fifteen days before the end of the year, the Mage Country would organize a series of academic lectures, product demonstrations, and exchange seminars in the city center.
This was also a time for archmages to show off their academic achievements, as well as a time for major societies to recruit new members and display their achievements.
And this year's seminar was the one with the highest standards and the most important one. It was basically used as the finale.
No matter how large the venue was, it would still be too small for such a grand event. Not to mention that the Mage Country's main hall was a small hall that could only seat three or four hundred people, it would still be able to seat three or four thousand people. Anyone who could go on stage and give a talk would either have astonishing academic achievements or an incredibly powerful organization. In fact, just entering the venue would be a reflection of one's status.
There was also no need to think about obtaining any magical secrets or new technological inventions from listening to the lectures. Although the lectures would definitely be valuable, all major media outlets would publish the full text of the lectures.
In a way, this was the Mage Country's annual evaluation.
The powerful individuals who had achieved breakthroughs this year would all take turns going on stage to boast about their achievements and share the joy of their success. While boasting and showing off their research results, they would also attract interested parties to cooperate with them and invest in them.
Some of the top-level bigshots, the legendary members of the Truth Symposium, would also make an appearance. They would evaluate the results of the various bigshots and decide on some major strategies and development directions.
With Rorschach's current resume, he probably wasn't even qualified to sit in, let alone go up on stage.
After all, he was only a rank 5 mage. In any other place, a rank 5 mage would be considered a legendary archmage. However, in the Mage Country, which had been at peace for several centuries and had experienced several magical technological revolutions and great leaps forward, the Mage Country had accumulated countless archmages. A rank 5 mage was nothing at all.
After all, high-grade Spell Casters were probably the group of people who could easily attain longevity.
If one's personal strength wasn't enough and the organization came to make up for it … Rorschach, who was all alone, didn't understand the reason behind this invitation.
"… But, there's no reason to refuse."
Rorschach smiled as he sent off the Great Wizard who had delivered the letter. He also tactfully rejected the other party's kind intentions.
What kind of good intentions? The good intentions of inviting him to join a large-scale magic society.
Previously, Rorschach wanted to join a magic society but was unable to do so. But now, there were far too many magic societies to choose from, and he didn't even know which one to join.
That's right, Rorschach still hadn't given up on joining a magic society.
After all, in this day and age, it was far too difficult to work alone. Having a reliable organization to rely on would give him both face and power. It would also lessen some of the prying eyes and pressure (from the elves) from the outside world … Although a magic society could be considered an organization, its internal structure was rather unorganized. Apart from a few special magic societies, Rorschach didn't need to worry about being restricted.
Take this invitation for example. If Rorschach had an organization, the invitation would have been sent directly to the magic society to be dealt with.
Many trivial matters wouldn't need to be rushed to deal with. Not only would the magic society evaluate the mage's power level and results, it would also provide the most suitable learning path for the mage, and even provide a chance to give a lecture.
If the mage met a troublemaker at a meeting … Everyone in the same profession was destined to be enemies. Once a scholar became stubborn, they would be even more unreasonable than a boor. Nobody would be able to convince the other party with just paper. They would definitely fight to the death.
"Now that I've come to the Mage Country, my impression of the mages has completely changed. In the future, if anyone tells me that the mages are just a bunch of peaceful and elegant scholars, I'll take them to watch the mages' 'debates.' Yep, at the gladiator arena's' debates. '"
At this time, if any rogue mage brought up a controversial theory or theory, then the mages who "defended the truth" would bite the mage like a pack of rabid dogs.
It was impossible to communicate with the "World Protector" when they went crazy.
If a mage had a magic society, their research results would be evaluated internally to see if it would attract trouble. And if it was confirmed that it would attract trouble, but it was still worth publicizing, then a large group of archmages would support the mage.
"… That's right, it's really difficult to go to a meeting with equipment right now. Should I go buy some magic resistance equipment …?"
At this time, Rorschach, who was no longer a newbie, seriously considered his own safety after thinking about how he had gone to several seminars, seminars, and debates.
There was nothing he could do about it. He had gone to five similar conferences before, and three of them had ended in fights. Archmages who were skilled at "persuasion" couldn't accept being "persuaded."
That was because sometimes, persuasion would prove that one's past and knowledge structure were wrong.
Many times, it was impossible to resolve a dispute with words or communication. Comparatively speaking, resolving a dispute with someone was the easiest thing to do.
This was especially true when there was a group of "Contrarians" in this world. (Ha, I'm dying of laughter. A rookie like you dares to question a classic theory. I object to every statement that goes against my common sense.) and "Cloud Mage" (You're wrong. Although I've never studied magic, I still feel that something is wrong.)
They had nothing to do every day, so much so that it made others wonder if they really had objections to their research results, or if they simply went to various forums to pick fights with others.
Thinking about the recent projects in his lab, Rorschach wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to show off his research results. Instead, he was worried that someone would block his door after he finished.
"It seems that I'll have to make some more preparations. On Wednesday, tell them to meet me at lab # 2. "
