Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 317: Nigervold Astrology System
Dean Thompson took out a contract from his astral ring, then signed his own name on it, stamped it with the academy's seal, and handed it to Locke.
After Locke looked it over once and confirmed there were no traps, he also signed his name. A flash of light passed over the contract.
The contract was officially established.
Dean Thompson smiled. "Contracts for First Circle wizards will be more easily bound by the Eight Wizard Virtues created by the holy masters. The holy masters were once deeply involved in formulating the values of white wizard society. However, there's actually nothing much to be bound by."
"Unless it's a particularly important contract, we won't use methods like curse magic. That would seem too disrespectful."
"Violating a contract, aside from receiving sanctions on the practical level, at most means that in the future when facing divine magic, you'll be more restrained by divine magic."
Locke nodded slightly, understanding the dean's meaning.
From the current perspective, one of the values of divine magic was faithfulness, faithfulness to contracts. If one constantly violated contracts, one could imagine how greatly restrained one would be when encountering divine magic in the future.
Previously, the reason those black wizards outside were beaten into a rout was because within the divine magic barrier, all wizards who didn't conform to the values of the Eight Wizard Virtues would have their magical power greatly suppressed.
'In the wizard world of the southeastern quadrant, First Circle wizards are adults, and wizard apprentices at the apprentice stage are all students under this adult's supervision. Therefore, the intensity of contract supervision for students will be slightly lower, because even if something happens, responsibility can be directly traced to this student's mentor.'
'This mentor will handle his student himself. Essentially, these students are part of this mentor's private property, so whether it's wizard organizations or the wizard association, in principle they don't want to bypass this wizard mentor to discipline his apprentice.'
Locke came to understand, so quite a few wizard mentors would privately constrain their own students.
Even Halen Vera was like this. His network kept a close watch on every student at all times.
It was just that as the new star within his network, he enjoyed enormous privileges. Previously, as long as he didn't do anything extremely excessive, nothing would happen.
Anglon was the same.
As Locke signed the contract with the dean of Lilith's Cottage, Dean Thompson gave Locke a badge representing special advisor specially appointed.
This basically counted as an honorary title.
Dean Thompson glanced at the badges worn on the chest of Locke's wizard robe and smiled. "These are all apprentice-level badges. Mr. Augustine, you also need to wear some formal wizard-level badges now."
"Becoming a formal wizard means that from this moment on, you can already stand on your own. Henceforth, you will be a member of the wizard world exploring those unknown mysteries. From your hands, you will cultivate outstanding students and produce outstanding results."
"On behalf of First Circle wizards, I formally welcome you, this new explorer of truth, to join us."
Dean Thompson said, "But this also means the responsibility on your shoulders is greater. Henceforth, you will bear all your own responsibilities yourself."
And responsibility meant rights.
A phantom interface appeared before Locke's eyes. The periphery of that interface panel was shrouded in a layer of grayish-white mist.
By signing the contract, he had used this special method to join the White Wizard Association of the southeastern quadrant.
Therefore, a magic attempted to access his spirit. Under the dean's indication, Locke chose to agree.
Dean Thompson smiled. "This is the Nigervold Astrology System. It's a divination magic platform jointly developed by several large wizard organizations and some small wizard organizations on the White Wizard Association side, and it has many wonderful uses."
"All white wizards in the southeastern quadrant, after becoming formal wizards and joining our association, will automatically be invited to join the Nigervold Astrology System."
"This astrology system has many functions, but you're not a core member of the association, so it has nothing to do with you. For ordinary First Circle wizards, the main thing this astrology system provides is still a convenient notification channel."
"Look, your military merit value from this time should have already appeared."
Locke understood. It was roughly that the formal wizards of the southeastern quadrant had their own group, and this Nigervold System was such a group.
Locke quickly inspected this stone tablet that appeared before his eyes, surrounded by grayish-white mist. He discovered this thing had three basic functions.
First, in the lower left corner of this stone tablet, there were several storage devices that could store some simple numbers, runes, and geometric patterns, which could help him better perform certain data mental calculations in combat.
Second, this thing seemed able to serve as a tool for the White Wizard Association to notify him.
Third, this thing seemed able to establish a bilateral connection with other people's panels, which meant adding friends. Then the two people could send messages to each other on this panel.
Locke asked, "Dean, the black wizard side shouldn't have this kind of thing, right? If they did, when my teacher Witch Sophia and I together surrounded and killed that senior curser Rashid Tariel before, he could have used this thing to notify those black wizards."
Dean Thompson smiled. "Indeed they don't have it. Don't look at how this function simply allows communication with other formal wizards, but to accomplish this function requires profound magical knowledge behind it, even knowledge from interdisciplinary fields."
"The Blood Curse Court has a Bilateral Voice Curse. You should have seen it before, but that one is too primitive, too crude."
"It's fundamentally impossible to conduct communication over too great a distance."
"And the Nibelung Astrology System that our Lilith's Cottage developed ourselves can indeed maintain contact with you over extremely long distances, but the range still doesn't compare to the Nigervold Astrology System developed by the association."
"And it can only achieve temporary mutual contact through voice, and cannot, like the Nigervold Astrology System, allow both parties to send messages to each other in most areas of the southeastern quadrant after just one mutual confirmation."
Dean Thompson said, "This counts as a benefit for formal wizards in our southeastern quadrant. The White Wizard Associations in wizard lands in other regions may not have concentrated resources to develop this kind of astrology system, so other regions might not have it."
"The range of use for the Nigervold Astrology System is only within the southeastern quadrant. Moreover, it's not that there aren't some special magics that can temporarily interfere with the mutual communication of the Nigervold Astrology System, so you still need to be careful."
