Contract

Afterwards, Saine followed the red-robed Mage Johnny and the female Formal Magician into the interior of the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Only the Green Hair male Mage, Treke, was left to guard the entrance to the Azure Source Holy Tower.

A long, Green Leaf Passage serves as the main route connecting the inner island of Azure Source Holy Tower with the surrounding islands.

Furthermore, there appears to be a special gravitational element within this passage.

As he walked through it, Saine not only felt much lighter, but there were also invisible force fields on both sides of the Green Leaf Passage, seemingly protecting the apprentices from falling.

As they passed through the Green Leaf Passage, Johnny, Second-Level Magician dressed in a red robe, casually introduced the situation of the several Chain Island surrounding the Azure Source Holy Tower to Saine.

This Second-Level Magician seemed quite talkative, and this attitude made Saine, who had been feeling uneasy, breathe a sigh of relief.

As expected, given the character and qualities of Second-Level Magician Midiqi, Formal Magician who could become his friend would not be a sinister individual.

The Mage Johnny in front of me seems to hold a fairly high position in the Azure Source Holy Tower.

After sending Saine to the main island of the Azure Source Holy Tower, the other party immediately instructed the female Mage beside him, "Irene, I'll trouble you to handle his New Life enrollment matters. I happen to have an experiment to work on..."

"No problem, Director Johnny," the female Mage replied.

The red-robed Mage smiled, then tossed the Holy Light Badge back to Saine, saying, "Kid, work hard. You should be able to make it to the Regional Holy Tower Academy War ten years from now. As my apprentice this year, don't let me down."

"If you need anything, you can come find me on the 278th floor of the Holy Tower!" the red-robed Mage added.

After carefully receiving the Holy Light Badge, which he had lost and then regained, Saine respectfully replied, "Yes, Master Johnny."

The red-robed Mage quickly left, and after Saine and the female Formal Magician named Irene exchanged a glance, she took over the responsibility of Saine's New Life student enrollment.

The number of apprentices at the Azure Source Holy Tower is large, and of course, the number of Formal Magician is also quite significant.

Although it was only the first day of school, everything I saw, and everything that the Mage Irene casually mentioned, was already very impressive.

All of these indicate that the scale of the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy is more than ten times larger than the Underground Black Wizard Academy Saine once lived.

Within the academy, there are nearly ten thousand apprentices alone.

And none of these apprentices were older than [the age limit].

Over one hundred years old.

According to the Mage Irene, if an apprentice has not advanced to the Quasi-Magician by the age of one hundred, the academy will require them to withdraw from the school.

On the one hand, the academy does not want some apprentices to die in the academy, bringing shame to the Holy Tower Academy.

On the other hand, if someone hasn't advanced to the level of Quasi-Magician by the age of one hundred, then the possibility of them advancing to Formal Magician is almost nonexistent. →

Even with the profound resources of the Azure Source Holy Tower, it was truly undesirable to waste resources on these elderly apprentices.

From this perspective, the Azure Source Holy Tower is actually not bad.

Because in some Holy Tower Academy, if an apprentice has not been promoted to Quasi-Magician by the age of seventy or eighty, he will be expelled from the school.

The Azure Source Holy Tower at least gave these apprentices an extra twenty or thirty years of opportunity.

The Mage Irene first took Saine to register in the central Teaching Hall of the academy.

With a Formal Magician personally assisting him, all of Saine's enrollment procedures proceeded very quickly.

In particular, it wasn't the Mage Irene who recommended Saine for admission, but Johnny, the Grade Director.

Upon learning of this situation, even the Formal Magician who were on duty couldn't help but glance at Saine more closely.

In previous years, the enrollment of New Life was handled by the Advanced Apprentice within the academy.

Saine was infinitely happier than any of his previous apprentices.

A Crystal Ball, two sets of Magic Robe for changing clothes, two High-Level Energy Crystal, and a Azure Source Holy Tower Badge were the first gifts that Saine received after enrolling in school.

Needless to say, the Crystal Ball and Magic Robe were a given, but looking at the two bright and clear fire-elemental Energy Crystal, Saine couldn't help but grin.

With his current wealth, he doesn't lack these Energy Crystal.

However, High-Level Energy Crystal are not ordinary items, no matter where they are.

Saine didn't do anything and already got two Energy Crystal for free. Is this the wealth and power of the Holy Tower Academy?

Seemingly noticing Saine's surprise, the Mage Irene explained, "The Holy Tower Academy provides a subsidy of two Energy Crystal to apprentices of all levels every year."

"Apprentices below the junior level receive low-level crystals, while Advanced Apprentice like you receive high-level crystals."

"However, don't think that two High-Level Energy Crystal are a lot. Apart from some general courses, almost all courses taught by Formal Magician at the Holy Tower Academy are chargeable."

"Like

"If you want to go further and grow faster within the Holy Tower, you either need to pay a great price to attend the internal courses taught by these Formal Magician, or you need to directly become an apprentice of a Formal Magician," the Mage Irene advised Saine.

As expected, there is no such thing as a free lunch; Mage in the Wizard World adhere to the Principle of Equivalent Exchange.

Saine wants to gain knowledge, then he must first give something in return.

The situation at the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy is clearly much better than that at the Underground Black Wizard Academy.

After all, here, he only needs to pay some Energy Crystal or Magic Coin.

But at the Black Wizard Academy, students like Saine might pay with their lives.

In the Teaching Hall, in addition to receiving the aforementioned items, Saine also signed a Magic Contract.

This was the first time Saine had ever encountered Magic Contract. The white contract paper was imprinted with rows of emerald green elemental patterns, signifying that after signing it, Saine had no choice but to fulfill the contract and there was no possibility of breaking it.

Unless he possesses power greater than the Azure Source Holy Tower Master!

This is the Azure Source Holy Tower Contract. This contract is not some evil indentured servitude contract, but simply a fair and voluntary enrollment contract.

Every New Life will sign an agreement upon enrollment.

The Azure Source Holy Tower provides Saine with a platform for growth and learning, and gives Saine two Energy Crystal every year for cultivation expenses, so it's not a free gift.

Holy Tower is not a charitable organization.

In order to ensure the healthy operation of their Holy Tower, the Holy Tower Master in various regions of the Wizard World are trying their best to make their Holy Tower develop better.

Launching Plane War and directly plundering resources is just one aspect of the strategy.

Besides war, there are many other ways to maintain the operation and profitability of a Holy Tower.

Taking the Magic Contract signed by Saine as an example, according to the requirements, if Saine is to be promoted to Formal Magician in the future, he must serve in the Azure Source Holy Tower for at least one hundred years before he can leave the Holy Tower.

Even if Saine fails to become Formal Magician, after being expelled from school, he will still have to serve the various industries of the Azure Source Holy Tower in the surrounding area for ten years.
