Wizard: I want to be a top student

"What's the reason?"

Ivan stared at her closely. A deacon of a hunting team couldn't just talk nonsense. The other party must have his own intention when he said this. He wanted to hear what Andaya wanted to express.

Andaya's expression did not change, she still had a cold and pretty face. She calmly said:

"Do you know what the college's resources mainly include?"

"Including secret realms, magic stone mines, and territories."

"Haha, this is the abandoned Moon Clamp Peninsula. The magic stone mines have long been exhausted. If the territory was rich in resources, the ancestors of wizards would not need to use their blood and lives to open up a second line of residence. Only the secret realm of Purple Dew Garden remains stable today. The output is far from enough to support the practice of so many wizards.”

Hearing Andaya's words, Ivan frowned.

He knew that the resources of the Moon Clamp Peninsula were in a state of scarcity, and hearing this meant that they were even more scarce than he had expected. This was not a good thing. After all, for nearly a hundred years, his main scope of activities would be the Moon Clamp Peninsula.

Now he was told that this was an extremely barren land.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Andaya continued: "In fact, the resources we need mainly rely on transactions, with the forces of Chaina Continent, the second line of residence of wizards.

This is not the main thing.

The most important thing is that the people doing direct transactions there are actually not the academy itself, not the wizards who belong to the academy, but some outsiders who have nothing to do with us. In other words, our lifeblood has always been in the hands of outsiders. "

outsider?

Ivan felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but glance at Walban.

Walban nodded heavily to him, expressing his approval of his mentor's statement.

Andaya immediately explained the meaning of 'outsider': "It's hard to understand, so it's okay. I will slowly tell you the true face of the academy."

"All ears."

"Vagin, Steele, and Lydia, you should have heard of these three wizarding families. I heard that you have a good relationship with the people of Lydia's family?"

"It's okay so far."

"That's because you didn't see their faces clearly. Whether it's the power of the Flash Vortex, the Secret Realm of the Purple Dew Garden, or other important resources, they are mainly controlled by people from the three major families, and the same goes for the resource trading channels."

"Deacon Andaya, aren't they also from the academy?"

Andaya said: "Not entirely. The three major families actually have other places of residence. Some of them joined the Mona Ant Farm hut, and some of them have always been in their own family residences. They have nothing to do with our college. They are wandering around. Outside the academy’s contract, that’s what I call an ‘outsider’.”

Ivan understood somewhat: "The people the college deals with are outsiders. Those outsiders use the resources of the college to trade with the forces of the second-tier mainland, right?"

Isn't this the same as leaving the left hand to the right hand? You can imagine who will get the majority of the benefits in the end.

Anyway, people have the final say on both ends. If they are willing to give you a little bit from their fingers, I will give you a little. As for whether you are grateful or not, they probably don't care.

Andaya nodded: "Yes, this is also the fundamental reason why the academy forced us to sign that century-old contract when resources were so scarce and there were no obvious external enemies. The three major families kept us in this way. The Moon Clamp Peninsula forces us to continue to create benefits for them and strengthen their family power. "

Hearing this, Ivan fell silent.

The master and disciple should not fool him with lies. At most, they would exaggerate the facts a little. This kind of thing can be inquired about clearly. It is estimated that many wizards know about it.

Unexpectedly, after becoming an official wizard, he also became a laborer, and a laborer who signed a hundred-year contract. The century-old contract has clear requirements for tasks, and at least one specified task must be completed a year.

If the mission reward is lower than expected, one mission a year is definitely not enough when resources are scarce.

Thinking that the value created by his hard work in completing the task must be exploited by the three major families, and the remaining petty profits are yours, this sense of gap made him not know what to say for a while.

After a moment of pause, Andaya revealed another piece of news: "In the past few hundred years, the dean and vice-dean of the Munna Ant Farm Lodge have always come from their three major families."

"There's more."

“-——”

Andaya knew far more than Ivan, and tried to make him fully understand his fate of being squeezed in the future.

It's not like Ivan has never been exploited before. He quickly adjusted his mentality: "Deacon Andaya, thank you for telling me this. What do you need me to do?"

Andaya said: "It's very simple. Stand in the same camp as us. When necessary, we will work together to get back the interests that should belong to us. In fact, this was also said to your mentor Randall, but unfortunately he seems to be more willing to study insect."

"I understand, I will think about it carefully. I need to wait for the opportunity, right?"

"Remember to keep it a secret."

Leaving Volban's residence, Ivan looked up and glanced at the gap in the middle of the top of Ant-Man's barrier. If you look closely, you will see that it is really a big and eye-catching loophole.

He was not in a hurry to verify anything. The wizard had more time, so he had time to take his time, so there was no need to rush.

…

There is a human settlement far outside the Moon Clamp Peninsula. There is a small and medium-sized city here. The city is built against the mountain and is located at the foot of the mountain.

There are many wizard towers on the mountain peaks. Some of these wizard towers have three floors, some have four floors, and some have five floors. The five-story wizard tower is the most eye-catching, with a special elemental halo.

Among the many wizard towers, one of them has someone at the critical moment of being promoted to a wizard.

In the center of the secret room, a young apprentice sat next to a stone platform with dense patterns carved on it, and these patterns have been lit up.

If Ivan was here, he would definitely look familiar. Isn’t the stone platform the ‘Black Magic Wind Array’ he carved with his own hands? He took out two to trade with Madeline Wizard of Lydia’s family. The original intention was to prepare them for Cam and Heidi, but they were used on an unknown young man.

A few hours later, the young man walked out of the secret room.

"Haha, Aaron, congratulations on becoming a formal wizard. Our tribe has gained another backbone elite." There was an elder guarding the secret room. Seeing him come out, the elder's face was full of smiles.

"Elder, the family has provided me with so many resources, and Aaron has finally lived up to expectations." The young man said modestly, but there was a smile in the corner of his eyes that he couldn't hide. From an apprentice to a wizard, he finally crossed this important step.

"The family can only give you a push, it mainly depends on your own efforts. As a wizard, you can't be too humble."

"The elder taught you that."

"Forget it, let me ask you, the new method given to you is that rune array, how do you feel?" The elder wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly thought of something and asked.

"The effect is good, this rune beam array is very unusual, I feel that the enchanter has kept a hand, if not, the effect will be more outstanding." Aaron is also an enchanter, and he praised the array he just used.

"That's good." The elder nodded slightly.

"Elder, where did this come from?"

"Don't worry about it."

Seeing that the elder was unwilling to say, Aaron didn't ask any more questions. After saying goodbye to the elder, he walked out of the tower where the secret room was.

I've been writing and deleting, and I'm seriously stuck in writing. I need to sort out the outline for the rest of the post, so I'll just write 4,000 words today.
