C37 The Main Character Doesn't Want to Go
The warm wind in the sky also passed through the window and rushed into the library filled with complex magic books.
The gray-haired girl discovered that she seemed to like sitting on the top floor of Water Element Tower with a book in her arms for an entire afternoon. Sunlight sprinkled on the parchment of some eras, accompanied by the slight sound of pages turning. This made her feel rather relaxed.
Most of these magic book were very thick and ancient. Riko had once seen a book written more than five thousand years ago.
These books were cast with magic to slow down the flow of time, which allowed them to be read even after thousands of years. Of course, as magic continued to improve, there were also some mistakes in the books.
Riko was able to find mistakes in any of the top magic book.
In Alien World, where there was a lack of entertainment, if she could calm down and read the stories in the mage's biographies, she would still find it very interesting.
Every Friday afternoon was when the Grey Tower Weekly would be released. Every building in the academy would consciously open the windows and let those white messenger birds fly in. Naturally, today was no exception.
Although the Grey Tower Weekly was a magazine for mages, it was not filled with a headache of magic knowledge like the Magic Power. The Grey Tower Weekly would report some news or strange incidents in the magic world.
On the cover of the magazine, there was a city that was faintly visible in the white fog, along with the tall Mage Tower in the city. There was also a line of words.
The location of the 666th World College of Advanced Mages' Contest was confirmed - Minlan Empire, Far East Witch Tower.
There were too many unfamiliar words, and Riko felt very confused.
She could only go out and take out two books from the bookshelf.
The two books and the thin Grey Tower Weekly were placed together. Fortunately, these nouns should be quite common. Riko very quickly found the answer she wanted.
Simply put, this advanced wizard Academy Contest was something that a group of people came up with out of boredom.
Two thousand years ago, there were two famous Magic Academy. Between these two academies, whether it was in terms of teaching philosophy or the strength of their teachers, it was difficult to determine who was better. Even the strength of the two headmasters were about the same. In order to determine who was better, the teachers and students of these two academies decided to hold such a competition.
The rules of the competition were for both parties to send five students under the age of eighteen to fight on stage. The students were not allowed to use drugs, but they could use magic tools.
In the end, the academy's A won with difficulty. The academy's B was naturally unhappy, so they agreed to have another match in four years.
When the other academies saw this matter, they felt that letting the students go out and broaden their horizons was also an extremely good thing, so they all got involved and sent five people to fight on the stage.
Over time, it evolved into a fixed competition that was held every four years like an Olympic Games. More and more academies participated, and the rules became more and more complex and perfect. This competition had now become the magic treasure of Magic Academy to stimulate the economy, and it was also a rare opportunity for ordinary people to see the magician in action. Until today, it had successfully held more than 600 competitions.
In these two thousand years, as one of the top magic universities in Aldran, the RMI had won the championship three times in total.
Yes, only three times.
The first time was because of good luck, and the second time was because of the succession war in Andalucia. A large number of academy mages were dragged to war. In the end, the imperial family of Lotterdall, School of Magic Theory, won. Because the current royal family of Aldran and the royal family of Andalucia did not have a marriage alliance.
Aldran itself was not a big country, and the RMI naturally could not compete with the Magic Academy, which was built by super empires with hundreds of thousands or even millions of square kilometers of land. Not to mention, there was also a small island located on the sea. It did not participate in any political affairs and was the number one academy in the world above all countries.
However, although that academy looked very beautiful, Riko did not plan to go.
The reason was very simple, it was too far away.
Just now, Riko brought a world map over and after carefully studying it, she discovered that this Shuntian was really not an ordinary distant place.
Between the Aldran and the legendary Minlan Empire, there were the following regions:
Westfalen, Bohemia, Heathcliff, Federation of Lublin. Kashan Principality, Battle Wizard Ural, a bunch of strange nomadic people, desolate grasslands, desert, and a huge magic beast habitat.
Last time, they took five days to arrive at Ainderhofen. To her, it was already far enough, and it was even more troublesome to go to the capital of Minlan Empire, Shuntian. It might take them a whole week on the airship.
So Riko Hasegawa did not want to go.
Anyway, she was now a professor of the academy, not a student. Even if she really wanted to go to that place, she could only be a teacher leading the team. And no matter how strong the teacher-in-charge was, there was no way to change the difference in strength between the students. They would still lose.
Compared to the professor, Riko wanted to be a librarian even more now.
