Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 93: Chapter 83: Reunion with Manton

Hill touched his chest, feeling not the slightest bit guilty, ”It was he who underestimated me first. If he had known Uncle Adrian might come by, he definitely would not have been so relaxed, and would surely have instructed his apprentices earlier, or even have guarded the door himself.”

I’m a Magister too!

Didn’t Uncle Adrian notify the Association long ago?

Do they think I’m easy to fool because I’m young?

Isn’t it deserved that he got his comeuppance from me?”

Adrian said with a chuckle, ”The teacher was very pleased when he found out.

We were worried that you were too mild, able to forgive anything.

It never occurred to us that you would still remember that a mage’s dignity is not to be trifled with.

However, we think it’s good that you can do so.

But Hensley still told me you’re too easygoing, not even killing those two disrespectful apprentices on the spot.”

I told him you didn’t want to bother with the affairs of mages from other countries, leaving the people to deal with it themselves, no need to dirty your own hands.

You remember not to let people think you’re afraid to kill!

Keep up the image of someone pure-hearted who doesn’t want to stain their hands!”

Hill nodded, ”When push comes to shove, I can still do it.

The least I could do is summons with my eyes closed!

The elementals certainly don’t have any concept of grace.”

Adrian shook his head, ”That’s why summoning mages are the most troublesome. You can summon in batches, while others can only banish one by one.

The teacher told me to inform the Mage Association you specialize in elemental summon, and that’s why.

When you’re junior, summoning mages are easy to bully, but once you’re a Magister, who can deal with you if not Legendary?

Of course, now that there’s the Undead Tribe, otherwise you’d have almost no rivals below Legendary.”

”Just another decade or so, and I won’t even fear the Legendary,” Hill’s eyes gleamed, ”My Elemental Overlord is almost ready to tell me his name.”

Adrian said with a smile, ”The last time you said the Earth element lord specially opened a rift in the elements to call him for a meeting, the teacher said he might soon reach Legendary.

That’s why when you talked about going out for experience, the teacher thought it was also appropriate.

When you can call upon a Legendary Lord at any time, what place could possibly give you a sense of crisis?” He thought for a moment and added, ”Of course, it’s best not to provoke the Undead Tribe.”

Hill laughed, ”I’m not stupid. Naturally, I see them all telling me to stay away.”

He added, ”The Undead Tribe is a presence welcomed by the world’s consciousness.

So naturally, although it is dissatisfied with their widespread destruction, it has never been utterly enraged.”

Adrian frowned, ”The teacher mentioned that too. The one who’s summoning is too easy, with so many foreign souls, and yet the world’s consciousness doesn’t react at all.

Legendary mages believe this deity is favored by the world’s consciousness.

It’s very likely that they are to accomplish some special mission.

For a long time, Saral, generally speaking, Legends wouldn’t dare to come here.

But now, those Legendary mages whose lives are nearing an end are very likely to gather around His Majesty the King.

For us mages from Saral, with the Undead Tribe as enforcers and Legendary mages in the higher ranks, it’s actually quite comfortable.

As long as we don’t oppose His Majesty the King.

For us, it’s quite easy to achieve.”

Adrian summarized, ”A true mage has no need to enslave commoners, aren’t puppets good enough?

Even the most incapable mage only needs apprentices to do work, not slaves.”

Hill nodded, and thought of Haifasardo’s apprentices, then briefly discussed it with Adrian.

Adrian’s eyebrows rose, ”I’ll mention this to the teacher later.

These people might not become mages, but the Alchemy Factory needs them.”

”Does the Alchemy Workshop need apprentices?”

”No, no, I’m talking about the bigger kind,” Adrian explained, ”His Majesty’s request is hoping that the teacher can help him make large Alchemy Machines.

Apparently, it’s to prepare for the children who’ve grown up after the spread of education, with such a large Mage School, a large number of mage apprentices are bound to emerge in a few years.

I heard in Kexlote, he plans to build several large factories.

Used to manufacture junior alchemy potions and some simple tools.

The teacher did make a few, and the assembly lines are all set up. But His Majesty hopes that the cost of producing potions and tools can be as low as possible.

Then, he will buy the assembly line production methods at a high price.

We don’t have many apprentices of our own, just a dozen or so.

The teacher is still thinking he’ll wait to try it out after the first batch of apprentices from the Mage School has been trained!

This is really great, I’ll tell the teacher when I return, he’ll be very happy to start experimenting early.”

The God of Time and Space, and William really think far ahead!

Already preparing for industrialization, huh?

Magical industry is actually going to emerge!

Hill silently thought that if a God of Industry were to appear, he wondered if the God of Craftsmen would go mad.

Though the human deities are many, each acts independently. Only the God of Nobility has formed a small God System.

But now, it’s very likely that the God of Time and Space is about to form a Human Pantheon, right?

With his and William’s step by step methods, based on the human world tradition of praying about everything, how many deities could they inspire?

Together, these two, it’s really unpredictable where they’ll lead this world.

After a moment’s thought, Hill said to Adrian, ”It doesn’t require your intervention. In the future, these people won’t be kept by my grandfather either, just notify His Majesty’s people directly.

Let them go to Haifasar to pick up individuals, and send them to my grandfather for training.”

Adrian nodded and smiled, ”Good idea, saves a lot of trouble. In the future, if someone makes such a request, just let them bring their own apprentices for training!”
