Chapter 309 [Time and Space] and... the investiture ceremony
Time passed quickly, and a month later.
In Principal Muzel's office, Mo Cheng put down the written test paper and put away the paper and pen.
Principal Muzer waved his hand gently, and the test paper filled with answers appeared in front of him. With just a glance, he made a judgment on the answers on the test paper.
"A perfect answer sheet, clear thinking and no mistakes."
"It seems that I did well in the test."
Looking at Principal Muzel's reaction, he was relieved. It was undoubtedly a troublesome task for Mo Cheng to complete the basic mage knowledge within a month. The time was short and the amount of knowledge was huge, which made people want to divide it into two halves.
In fact, Mo Cheng did split into two people during this month. One used the [Seventy-two Transformations] to disguise himself and go to class, while the other went to the library to read.
"The results are really good. This is a reward for the exam."
Mo Cheng reached out and caught the thing that flew over. It was a small badge, a mage certification badge issued by the Arcane Association.
Mo Cheng was not unfamiliar with this thing. When he was in the [Foreign Land], this kind of badge existed as a proof of job change. But this thing was of no use to Mo Cheng now. He was different from others and had no job to speak of.
However, compared to other professional badges, the mage badge has some other functions. No matter which country or city the wearer is in, as long as it is not the kind of country that expels mages, he can get the treatment of the lowest level lord and noble.
"With this badge, you can get a 20% discount on the purchase of property in Fairhaven or Winterhold . You can also get a 10% discount on the purchase of original spells and related materials from other wizards in Winterhold."
"In addition, we can purchase some precious materials from the academy's warehouse every month. These are things that cannot be bought outside."
After listening, Mo Cheng put away the badge in his hand. Although the first two effects were useless, he knew very well what it meant to buy properties in Fairhaven and Winterburg. Even if it was half price, he couldn't use it.
However, purchasing materials from the warehouse of the Winterhold Magic Academy would be more suitable for him.
He didn't need any rare materials to make things, but Mo Cheng remembered how he got his first big item. The accessory of the equipment [Mordigian's Armband], the [Claw of Attack], was not a reward from a system task, but was obtained by transforming the existing materials in this world.
Although Mo Cheng has not encountered anything that can be converted , since there is the first example, it means that Mo Cheng can obtain equipment outside of the rewards of system tasks.
After putting away the badge, Mo Cheng did not hesitate and asked directly: "I want to learn about [Time and Space] from you."
Those who did not have enough chips to cooperate with R&D previously would most likely not get any positive response even if they made this request.
It’s different now. Although Mo Cheng’s knowledge of magic is still not as good as that of the mages who are researching the [Elemental Mage] project, he is already able to cooperate in research and development.
Combined with his own unique abilities, Mo Cheng's position in the R&D team is very important, and he has the ability to ask for the compensation he wants.
"You want to learn about time and space?"
Mo Cheng's choice surprised Principal Muzel. The knowledge of [Time and Space] is extremely difficult to learn even among the group of mages.
"No problem." Principal Muzer agreed immediately. He waved his hand and several thick books appeared on the table in front of him. "Take these back and have a look. If you have any questions, just come over and ask them on the weekend."
Principal Muzel was not optimistic that Mo Cheng would be able to make achievements in the field of [Time and Space]. Even in the entire Winterhold Magic Academy, there were only a few wizards who were involved in [Time and Space].
But seeking knowledge is the most important element for a mage, so even though he knew that Mo Cheng would most likely not learn anything, he did not refuse outright.
Since the other party wants to learn, then just teach him.
“When do I start work?”
After getting an accurate answer, Mo Cheng's mentality improved a lot. The study during this period not only allowed him to understand the knowledge in [Elemental Summoning], although he only understood a small part of it.
But at this rate, it is only a matter of time before you understand the [Eternal Life Curse].
At the same time, I also have a deeper understanding of the connection between skills.
As for participating in the research and development of [Elemental Mage], in addition to having [Elemental Summoning], Mo Cheng also has memories of the profession of [Elemental Mage]. Although he does not have the most essential and fundamental knowledge, he can still point out a general direction.
"Some sophisticated instruments are on their way next week and will arrive around next week."
As he said this, Principal Muzel had a look of pain on his face. "Those greedy guys deserve to go to hell. Those instruments used up three years of the college's funds."
"By the way, don't be busy with other things this week." Principal Muzel remembered something, "Your investiture ceremony is ready and will be held this week. Go home and take a good shower in the next two days. The court etiquette officer will come to see you. He has come several times before."
After so long, the Aundair royal family seemed to have finally finished dealing with the issues they were dealing with, and they also remembered that the heroes of the previous incident needed to be rewarded.
"Knighting, what title does the royal family plan to give me?"
Although he said that he didn't care much about the title, but when the time came, it was unlikely that he didn't care.
When I was playing [Foreign Land], I heard from the players of the lord system that the lord after being granted the title is a different system, but Mo Cheng didn’t know much about it. A monk who was under the Poverty Vow had no chance of becoming a noble.
"Count, don't count on the territory. There is no earldom available for you to allocate in the country. Unless you want to establish your territory in the great desert in the west."
On the western border of Aundair is a huge desert, which is a natural barrier, so there is almost no need to worry about the neighboring country attacking directly from that desert. The quicksand on the road is enough to bury most of the army, and the area west of Aundair is not prosperous, so there is no benefit in conquering it.
"Speaking of which, why do you want to learn about time and space?"
Principal Muzer was somewhat surprised by Mo Cheng's choice, but also somewhat curious. Most mages planned to study time and space-type knowledge in the early stages.
"I think it will be useful in the future. Besides, I like your masterpiece of magic circle, Principal."
Knowledge of time and space will be the prerequisite for creating an inter-dimensional teleportation array after the destruction of the [Eternal Night Demon] and the weakening of the crystal wall system by the time and space storm in the future.
Although before that, due to the thickness of the crystal wall system, cross-dimensional teleportation was almost non-existent, but in the war of [Eternal Night Disaster], a large amount of knowledge and books were destroyed. Mo Cheng naturally had to prepare for the future and obtain relevant knowledge in advance.
As for the magic circle that can open a dungeon, this is probably the thing Mo Cheng wants most in the entire Andair.
