Preparations for the Long Journey

"You want to wear Antir Region?"

Elan stood in the office and said to Fran in surprise.

"Yes, that Northern Lands Society is naturally in the north. It seems that it was moved there because there was no room when the Alliance allocated the land for them."

In fact, this later involved the political struggle of the Alliance. At that time, Northern Lands Society had not yet been called Northlands, but it had already raised the slogan of welcoming all School mages to join.

This resulted in some School being unhappy with them and tampering with them when assigning them to exclusive residences.

They first contacted a lord in Northlands who had always wanted to join the Alliance, agreed to his request, and included his territory within the scope of the Alliance.

Then he directly shared this land with Northern Lands Society and used it as a residence, so that Northern Lands Society could only carry out activities far away from the Alliance.

This made the surrounding lords who wanted to join and those who didn't want to join dumbfounded.

Those who wanted to join had to hold banquets every day to celebrate, spending a lot of money but getting nothing.

The lords who did not want to join went to great lengths to recruit people, build defense facilities, and would rather die than join the Alliance. In the end, all preparations were in vain. The Alliance had no extra plans at all.

This also resulted in the Alliance having an enclave in the north, with many small forces blocking the way.

Although with the strength of the Alliance, it is not impossible to capture all these territories.

But the Alliance doesn't want to take it simply because these territories are really bad, with a large population, poor products, and not many minerals. They want to mobilize an offensive force, but they don't even have much profit to share, so they simply leave it there.

The Antir area happens to be the only way to go to Northern Lands Society. If you bypass this area, the distance will be doubled and the time consumption will increase even more.

So Fran had no intention of bypassing this area. She had a hunch that the future she met would be in the Antir area.

"Then why do you want to go to a society so far away? Why don't you find one closer?"

Elan looked at Fran in confusion. The Alliance has many societies. As long as you want to join, you will definitely be able to join.

For example, Elan has joined three societies, the Wine Research Society, the History Research Society, and the Regional Folklore Society that everyone Law School has joined.

These are all societies that have little to do with magic research, so he can be called a researcher to the outside world.

But it's useless. What he can get in exchange for these skills is nothing but some small skills. At most, it has an indirect effect on his spell learning.

He looked at Fran with envy in his eyes.

Every promoted Formal Mage wants to join a society to pave the way for their high-level promotion.

But he is not as lucky as Fran to have Fourth Order Mage as his mentor.

To be honest, before meeting Harbos, he had never seen a Profession er of level three or above.

"Northern Lands Society must have what I need, and it fits my plan." Fran explained.

"Looking closer...Harbos instructor seemed to have recommended Yobner Society, but I thought about it and didn't go."

Elan was suddenly stunned. He couldn't believe the decision made by Fran. He confirmed again:

"Yobner Society?!"

"Yes, it seems to be the society over there at Elemental School."

Elan swallowed. He didn't know how strong Yobner Society was in the society. As a society that specializes in cultivating core members, it would not let outsiders like Elan know.

However, in the historical research society where Elan belongs, there was a time when some busybodies ranked higher than other societies.

At that time, the ranking was divided into one hundred years as a time period, and he remembered that in the previous hundred years, Yobner Society was ranked first among the societies.

In the list of the past 500 years, although Yobner Society has not won the first place again, it is still ranked in the top five, and it is still first in the overall ranking.

At that time, he was discussing this list with his friends in the pub, pointing to Yobner Society and several other societies with unknown names and said:

"Why don't these societies just engrave their research directions on it? If you look at other people's societies, Necromancy School's is called the Necromancy Society. It's clear at a glance."

"That's right, I think these societies are not as good as our Historical Research Society. At least they have a clear direction. The people on this list are not on the wild list!!"

And his friends were so supportive.

Now, even Harbos and Fourth Order Mage have recommended Yobner Society, so he can't help but believe that this society is really strong.

But what surprises Elan the most now is that Fran doesn't even go to Yobner Society, but goes to Northern Lands Society.

He believed that Harbos must have explained the society to Fran in detail, but Fran still did not go.

A drop of cold sweat fell on Elan's forehead. He had no idea that this Northern Lands Society would have learned something more powerful, which would make Fran choose this way.

But thousands of words are still condensed into one sentence.

"That's okay, I wish you good luck."

No matter how much he says, it's Fran's own business. It's useless for a person who is still working hard to get Investigator's assessment qualification.

Just the fact that Fran could become Formal Mage so quickly was enough to surprise him. When the tutor is Fourth Order Mage, the best way to learn is not to just pick one at random.

Therefore, it is not unusual for Fran to join a good society. When Fran becomes a big deal, he can go over and beg Fran to drag him into a society based on his past friendship.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you help me register for graduation today?"

Fran came to the Cuilan Academy today just for the graduation registration. I just talked so much with Elan that it was a bit off topic.

Others will say, you are already Formal Mage, why are you here to register?

This involves the Alliance's registration system. The Alliance has corresponding records of where each mage works. If you don't even have a graduation record in the academy, then don't even think about participating in any assessment of the Alliance.

So this is still a very important matter, related to the future of every mage.

"Sorry, I kind of forgot." Elan remembered it at this moment and immediately began to inspect the materials Fran had brought over.

Fran continued on the side:

"Also, I'm not going to leave right away. Let me prepare for at least a week or two."

Elan did not pause the movement of his hand and quickly drew circles on the material.

Then Fran seemed to remember something and said:

"By the way, how is the recruitment of new students at Forge School?"

Elan slowed down the work at hand slightly.

"There are a few people who can read your works. With your instructor's permission, they have been admitted and are still learning the two spells you created."

"Okay, Harbos, let me teach those apprentices before I leave."
