Celestial Mage

Chapter 66 The Glory of a Formal Mage
'Gulu~ creak.Gulu~~squeak~'

Amidst the slightly interfering sound of the wheels, the carriage swayed towards the mage guild in the central area of ​​the city.

Low-end carriages have no shock absorption, and rely entirely on the toughness of the wood itself. The stability is very poor, and it is very uncomfortable to sit dangling in the carriage.

I heard that high-end carriages will be suspended by cowhide bands, or even higher-end ones will even use suspension spells to completely filter the bumps from the road.

Of course, the price will be very high.

After sitting for a while, Serendis began to test his apprentices.

"Rosen, according to the gravity principle you proposed, how would you design the constant levitation spell in the carriage?"

Naturally, this was not a problem for Rosen.

"Mentor, I will design a six-way gravity well. The maximum width and length of the well is 20 cm to ensure the sloshing range. The well wall is slow first and then fast to even out the swaying speed of the carriage."

Occam's razor principle, if not necessary, do not multiply entities.

Therefore, for problems that can be solved with one spell, never use two more, and never add more entities to assist.

In order to avoid increasing the complexity of the system and greatly increasing the failure rate and maintenance difficulty.

Serrandis clapped his hands lightly, expressing his heartfelt praise.

"Exquisite design! Its spell structure is at least two stars simpler than traditional levitation spells, and it doesn't require any additional fixing devices, but it can achieve completely equal or even better stability performance."

After a pause, he continued, "For our carriage, low-level magic power is enough to stabilize it. So, why doesn't my apprentice try to make the instructor more comfortable."

"Yes, Master."

Rosen turned on the spell virtual machine, quickly designed the simplest low-level spell according to the previous idea, briefly tested it in the virtual machine, and after confirming that there was no problem, he cast it on the carriage as soon as he had a thought.

The carriage was immobilized by the spell, it shook slightly, and was slightly suspended. The bumps suddenly changed from sharp and bone-shattering to gentle wind and drizzle.

Serrandis was very satisfied: "Very good. When we arrive at the guild, I will submit this spell to the guild."

She intentionally honed Rosen's spellcasting ability, and while he was maintaining his spells, she asked again, "Have you remembered the etiquette I taught you yesterday?"

"Ah."

Rosen nodded slightly, and he was a little reluctant to deal with it, because the stability spell was a three-star spell, which took up a lot of his energy.

Serrandis firmly grasped the limit of the apprentice's spellcasting ability, and immediately asked: "In the mage guild, how to distinguish the status of an official mage?"

"Differentiation is based on special divine grace, spellcasting ability, and mana realm. Among them, special divine grace has the highest weight and mana realm has the lowest."

"What are the special graces?"

"There are three main types. From high to low, they are God's Fate, God's Grace, and God's Seal."

"So, a middle-level 10-star divine grace mage, and a high-level 12-star ordinary mage, who has the highest status?"

"According to the conversion formula of status weight, the former should be a little higher, and the latter should perform the low-level mage ceremony to the former."

"very good."

Serrandis was very satisfied, but the test did not stop.

"What etiquette must apprentices observe in front of unfamiliar official mages?"

"The three silent rituals are to watch silently, speak silently, and act silently."

"Apprentices are not allowed to look directly into the eyes of official mages. They must look down to show humility. Apprentices are not allowed to speak unless they are asked by an official mage. Apprentices are not allowed to take action unless they are invited by an official mage."

"Any more?"

"Apprentices can't block the way of formal mages. If they meet on narrow roads, they must give way 5 meters in advance. No matter what the occasion is, they must first give way to the next apprentice."

Selandis was satisfied: "I teach you this not out of harshness, but as a way for the weak to protect themselves."

"When there are no outsiders, we master and apprentice can get along with each other freely, but when outsiders are present, we must observe etiquette so that others can't find any mistakes."

"There are no mistakes in etiquette, and others will naturally have no excuses to attack you for no reason, and a lot of unnecessary troubles will be saved."

Rosen nodded seriously: "I remember, mentor."

Although the relationship is so close that there is physical love, the mentor is a mentor, a guide in the field of magic, and Rosen's respect for her has not changed in any way.

And a female mage who has received advanced knowledge education is a progressive woman in another world, and independence is her spiritual core.

Earthly notions of chastity have no real binding power over them, and carnal pleasures are but a way to pass the time.

If you are happy, you will join, if you are unhappy, you will divide.

If you feel that you will get carried away when you have a relationship, and even make an inch of it, then your brain will be kicked by a donkey, and it will never end well.

For this point, many men in this world can't accept it, think that the female mage is very obscene and obscene, and often insult her as a witch.

But in fact, regardless of gender, male mages are often several times more lascivious than female mages, and the reason why the dirty water is poured on the latter is simply because women are relatively weak in social relations.

Closer to home.

Silvermoon Castle is not big, and within half an hour, the carriage stopped smoothly at the gate of the Mage Guild.

Serrandis rolled down the lace hem of his top hat to cover his dazzling face, and waited for Rosen to get out of the carriage before getting out of the carriage with his support.

After standing still, she patted the folds on the dress and reminded her lover softly.

"Take all the experimental tools, follow me, and abide by apprentice etiquette."

"Yes, teacher."

The so-called experimental materials are some tools to verify the conclusions of the paper, some small gadgets such as smooth balls, wooden tracks, paints, and curtains that block the line of sight.

There are always a lot of zeros and zeros. Without the help of a mage, it is really impossible to do it with just two hands.

After Rosen took everything, Serrandis walked towards the guild hall.

There were as many people in the hall as usual, most of them were young people, and there were also some gray-haired old people.

But no matter who it is, as soon as they see the secret gold 12-star badge on Serrandis's chest, they will immediately retreat, lower their eyes, and bow far away, as if there is an invisible repulsive force field around her.

Rosen sighed secretly: "Oh, this is the glory of a powerful mage."

After walking for a while, I ran into an old acquaintance, a low-level four-star official mage Philama.

He walked up to meet him quickly, saluted the next mage first, and then said, "Ms. Serrandis, I greet you. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Probably due to the change of clothes, his attitude this time is obviously much more respectful than last time.

Serrandis also fully demonstrated the reserve of a high-ranking mage, only nodding in return.

"I'm going to the thesis review department on the second floor. I'm familiar with the place. Go do it yourself, Master Philama."

Ferama bowed slightly again and stepped back to one side.

Serrandis held up the hem of her skirt and climbed up the moon-white marble spiral staircase to the second floor. Rosen followed her three meters apart according to the etiquette.

There was no one else on the stairs, and she continued to teach her apprentices in a soft tone.

"Teacher, I really hate noisy occasions, especially chatting with boring strangers, plus getting entangled with Alice, so I'm not very popular in Silvermoon Castle."

"However, in the mage guild, there are still some mages who focus on spells and have outstanding wisdom. In order to fulfill the obligations of an official mage, I have also submitted some spell papers, so there are a few in the paper review department who can still chat colleagues."

"Don't be jealous, they are all gray-haired old men."

Rosen looked at the mentor who was as delicate and charming as a rose in the snow in front of him, and sighed in his heart.

"It is estimated that only an old man who knows his destiny can resist your charm, so let's communicate with you with a normal heart."

It is also because of Serrandis' withdrawn personality and twists and turns that he was able to kiss her.

Under normal circumstances, with the mentor's appearance and talent, he would definitely be able to easily obtain a noble position, and I'm afraid he wouldn't even look at him.

So, he was really lucky.

The two walked into the second floor, walked a dozen steps along the wide corridor, and arrived at the entrance of a hall. There was a whole door plate made of mithril hanging beside the high gate, which read: "Silver Moon Castle Official Magic Thesis Review" in big letters.

Compared to the busy lobby on the first floor, the lobby on the second floor can only be described as empty. To be more precise, there are only two outsiders, Selandis and Rosen.

Serrandis came to the gate, knocked lightly, and said with a smile, "Master Fuller, I send my greetings to you."

There are not many staff in the hall, only a dozen or so, most of them are male mages, and all of them are above the middle level.

To be more precise, it is a group of middle-aged and elderly gentlemen with status, achievements and wealth.

Hearing the young woman's voice by the door, all the mages turned their heads in unison, and when they saw Serendis, their eyes showed fascination that could not be concealed.

Rosen lowered his head and performed the three silent salutes, but he saw everything from the corner of his eyes.

"Tsk tsk, with so many gentlemen, the psychological pressure increases immediately."

At this time, an old mage sitting behind a large circular wooden table raised his head and laughed loudly when he saw Serendis.

"Ahaha~~ It turns out that Miss Serrandis has arrived. No wonder the Annunciation Bird outside the window is chirping non-stop."

Rosen saw that this Mage Fuller had an emerald green badge pinned to his chest. The outer circle of the badge was inlaid with 14 sapphires, and there was a circle of dark golden wings around the outer circle.

"A 14-star high-ranking mage of the gods, a badge made of star meteorite and immortal gold. This status seems to be higher than that of President Fei Lun."

If he remembered correctly, Guild Master Fei Lun was just an ordinary mage, perhaps with a higher position, but when he met this old mage, he might have to bow to the next mage.

On the other side, Fuller looked at Serendis with kind eyes like looking at a daughter.

"So, what surprises can the Lonely Rose of Silvermoon Castle bring me this time?"

Serrandis smiled slightly: "This time the surprise is a bit big, you have to be mentally prepared."
