Chapter 649 A Corner of the Times (The first more is asking for a monthly pass recommendation ticket)
At the end of the Blazing Wind Moon (August), the civilian area of Rentat.
After his parents went to work in the seafood company and the crystal lamp workshop respectively, Lang Man was alone at home looking through the books he had purchased during this time, silently thanking the God of Truth and the arcanists in his heart.
Since the evil radical church was expelled from the Magic Council and the moderates came to power, the originally expensive books have become much cheaper, and even children from commoner families like themselves can buy one or two books every few months with the support of their parents.
Lang Man knows from the "Voice of the Mystery" that in fact, papermaking was born hundreds of years ago, and after long-term improvement, the price has dropped to the point where a copper fil can buy a large stack, and the same is true for printing technology, but in order to monopolize knowledge and monopolize the channels of communication with the Lord, the radical church artificially blocked the printing technology and encouraged manuscripts, so that books could not be reduced at an unusually expensive price for a long time. Fortunately, there was a secret spread by the Magic Council, and Rentatt's average knowledge level reached the qualified standard.
Now, times have changed, and knowledge, although precious, has not exceeded the necessary limits, because alchemy workshops and great aristocrats urgently need labor with a knowledge base.
Looking at the book, this is a book about common creatures in nature, with lifelike illustrations, which made Lang Man, who followed his father to know some of the text, read with relish—his father climbed from the bottom and was taught words and fishery knowledge after becoming a middle-level executive of a seafood company.
"Gnoll, kobold, goblin, giant, barbarian, Dudu bird......" Looking at this book, Lang Man seemed to be in a colorful nature, seeing creatures with different appearances, they have similarities, and they also have very different characteristics, which makes people fascinated, "It's really worth saving money for months to buy this book!"
Dong dong dong, there was a knock on the door, which made Lang Man wake up from the ocean of knowledge.
"Who?" He asked loudly, straightening his back, and suddenly felt a little nervous, I was at home as a child, if it was a robber, a thief, or a cruel "night watchman" described by the "Voice of Mystery"......
Dong Dong Dong, there was a man's voice knocking on the door: "Open the door, I am the postman of the Kingdom Post, I have your letter!"
Lang Man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, secretly laughing at himself for listening to too many horror stories in "The Voice of Mystery", and even during the day, he was terrified.
Opening the door, Lang Man saw a young man with a kind smile, wearing a dark green costume, carrying a package that looked very heavy at first glance, and holding two letters in his hand.
"Your letter." The postman said with a smile.
Langman took the letter and first saw the exquisite stamps affixed to the envelope, which were the first batch issued by the kingdom, printing the heads of Her Majesty the Queen and Her Excellency Evans respectively, representing different amounts.
"The stamps are so beautiful, I have to cut them out and collect them......" Lang Man thought subconsciously, and then looked at the sender, and found that it was written by his aunt who married to Peforth County, and his heart was suddenly happy, my aunt loved herself the most before she got married, but my uncle was in the capital of Peforth County, although it was not far from Rentat, it was only a few hours' drive from the magic steam train, but communication was difficult, and it was not so easy to find a reliable friend or businessman who was willing to bring letters, and the price was quite expensive, and only one letter was sent back and forth a year. It bordered on losing contact.
Now, everything is different, Lang Man looked at the denomination of the cover stamp and found that with his pocket money, he could afford to write a letter a month.
Thank you Lord, thank You Your Majesty, thank you Honorable Evans, thank you Prime Minister Russell, thank you to the Kingdom Postal Service, he drew a cross on his chest, and then looked at the second letter, his eyes immediately widened: "Acceptance letter? Rentat First General School?"
Oh? Oh! I was accepted!
Lang Man only felt a huge joy hitting his heart, as if something had exploded inside, and he kept saying thank you to the postman, and his eyes were blurred.
Since it was just the beginning of the pilot, the royal family and the Magic Council temporarily only jointly opened two general education schools in Rentat, named after the first and second simple rules respectively, so when many commoners can afford the tuition fees, there are so many people who want to enter these two schools that there may not be one lucky person among a hundred people!
Fortunately, Her Majesty the Queen has formulated a fair enrollment method - "Unified Entrance Assessment", which gives her room to play.
"You can really learn knowledge, you can truly understand arcane and magic common sense......" Lang Man stood there in a daze, countless thoughts rolling in his mind, unable to calm down at all.
"Please sign and verify, if you can't write, click the handprint." The postman sent many such "admission letters" today, and I am used to this situation.
Lang Man then came to his senses, took the tap pen from the postman's hand - it is said to be specially popularized to the public, and then solemnly wrote his name on the receipt.
"Thank you, uncle, you gave me a huge surprise." When returning the tap pen to the postman, Lang Man sincerely thanked him.
The postman laughed and said: "I feel happy with you, I also feel in a good mood, when I save enough money, I also want to go to a general education school, maybe we will be alumni in the future."
Lang Man blushed and said: "May the Lord bless your wish to come true, uncle, are you tired of being a postman? I carry a lot of letters and packages every day."
The postman smiled and said: "It's very tiring, but it won't be long before it gets better, saying that he wants to equip us with something called a bicycle."
"Bicycle?" Lang Man frowned suspiciously.
After sending the postman away, he couldn't wait to open the admission notice, took out his father's dictionary, and read the content.
"Lingua franca, mathematical basics, historical overview, introduction to nature, general knowledge of magic, logical foundations, heraldic recognition, basic arcane, body tempering...... These are all basic general education courses and are compulsory; Music, Fencing, Painting, Writing, Electromagnetic Preliminary, Elemental Summary, Psychological Knowledge, Medical Basics, Advanced Mathematics, Spells and Semiotics, Ancient Magic Languages, Political Science, Economics...... These are elective courses, after the third year of general education, choose the basics of different directions according to your situation." Lang Man read the course content, looked at their introductions carefully, and dreamed of his future uncontrollably.
"Whether to become a clerk, a politician, a musician, a painter, a knight's attendant, a doctor, an arcanist......" Lang Man knew that his magical talent was not good, just like ordinary people, so he ranked the arcanist last.
Before he knew it, it was getting dark, and his parents returned home and saw the admission letter.
After reading the admission notice, Lang Man's father nodded slightly: "It's still too early to think about it, wait until you really start learning to know what you are good at and what you are not good at, of course, I suggest that you start learning aristocratic etiquette, horseback riding, fencing, music, economics, fisheries knowledge in the fourth year, and after entering the seafood company in the future, you can quickly become a supervisor with this knowledge, and interact with nobles and big businessmen, as for magic, what is your talent, you know very well."
He naturally wanted his son to grow up under his protection.
Lang Man's mother disagreed: "The current trend is the development of alchemy workshops, even if Lang Man is not good at magic, he should learn more about magic and alchemy, and becoming the head of an alchemy workshop in the future will be much more impressive than in a seafood company."
The two had a heated discussion about the issue until the "Voice of the Mystery"began.
Lang Man, who had been silent, sat in the square, listening to the content of "Revealing the Church", feeling confused, a little excited, and a little disappointed.
「…… After exploring the necromancer, several legendary magicians confirmed the existence of Paradise Mountain and had reason to believe that the God of Truth had fallen into a deep sleep, and the authority had been stolen by the Pope!"
「…… Speaking of the Pope, I have to mention his true identity, he is actually the bloody and cruel legendary mage of the ancient magic empire Viken, who mixed into the ranks of the Church of Truth and seized power during the sleep period of the God of Truth......"
「…… It is said that the crying lasted for more than half a month before subsiding, and until now, there are still many wronged spirits wandering there......"
Lang Man thought blankly: "Is the Pope really an ancient magician? There seems to be a similar statement before, but there are other rumors......"
One program after another, Lang Man gradually got rid of his troubles and listened to his favorite programs concentrated:
「…… Holt Magic Academy held its first 'Flying Competition' today, with speed contests, fancy gorgeousness, strong people who rely entirely on their own strength, and low-level mages who are good at manipulating flying staffs......"
Air races? Lang Man listened with interest to the newly established "Mage Hundred Appearances" program, which was a news that specially introduced various interesting facts about the Magic Council.
After hearing these interesting things, Lang Man suddenly froze, and there seemed to be a voice roaring in his heart.
Yes, I am not good at magic, but that doesn't mean I don't have arcane talent, Your Excellency Evans said that as long as you have enough mental strength to manipulate simplified alchemy items, you can study arcane! The real field of this research world is the same as the field of mathematics, and bad magical talent is not a threshold!
The voice in his heart gradually became clear and audible:
"My dream is to become an arcanist!"
…………
In the "Electromagnetic Kingdom", Brooke had an additional paper on hand, a paper on the spin of electrons submitted by Splinter and Annick, which gave him a lot of inspiration.
With a quill in his hand, he found the right way to build a new function.
The silver-white current and dark magnetic field outside seemed to be starting to move.
In the "Theater of Destruction", the stars that kept collapsing and destroying suddenly froze, and Oliver's face in the Magic Tower showed an uncontrollable expression of surprise and excitement.
The "real world" emerges, and the cognitive world begins to change...
Lucian is fusing quantum mechanics and special relativity in his study.
