Chapter 284: A Gift from the Mentor

” Next up is the benefits you can enjoy-”

David introduced skillfully,

” The rights at the top of the list are naturally the application quota for advanced research projects. Every winter, you can submit your research projects for the next year to the Alliance and apply for funding for related “With your current situation, you can apply for at least one Al, three B2S or four BIS, and even more C or D-level projects every year.

“Once these projects are approved, you will receive substantial funding and resources.

“You saw it just now, those enthusiastic apprentices…

“This was the most coveted aspect of Al. The apprentices who were pre-employed were usually DI or D2, and they could only apply for topics on the level of ” how to change the glow colour of the fireball ” or ” how to strengthen the effect of the shaving technique ‘

“Forget about the lack of funding. Even if they produced results, no one would care about them, and there was no way for them to accumulate knowledge points.

“Therefore, you can use this to your heart’s content and squeeze out whatever value you want from those acolytes. “Don’t feel bad for them. Everyone does it.

“Oh, right.

“I forgot to tell you that Knowledge Points are a very important resource in the Alliance. They are more precious than gold.

“It could only be obtained by getting them from others or doing research.

“You can use it to exchange for any new magic theories or spell models in the Alliance’s self-developed Spell Library.

“Believe me, the research results of spells within the Alliance of the Seven Saints are beyond the reach of the outside world, especially the Battle Spell series, which were contributed by those crazy researchers in the Forbidden Land.

“If you have enough knowledge points, I strongly recommend you to sign up for a ‘Combat Spell Crash Course.’

“No offence, but it will quickly make you realize the huge gap between a rogue Mage and a Mage who was trained in the orthodox path.”

Matthew nodded solemnly.

He remembered every word David said.

Although Matthew didn’t intend to walk the orthodox path of a mage, it was always good to learn more.

“The second page of your spell license will show the real-time updated

Imowledge points. Look, right here, it’s currently zero.”

David pointed to a corner of the license and said,

‘ Normally, it takes 1 – 3 Knowledge Points to exchange for a combat spell. For example, the latest version of ‘Counterspell’ is 1.5, ‘Rebound Spell’ is 2.5, and the more powerful ‘Natasha’s Wild Laughter’ costs 3 Knowledge Points.” Natasha’s Wild Laughter?

When Matthew heard the name, he knew that its function was similar to the Cough Staff.

He couldn’t help but be curious about the Alliance’s self-developed spell library.

The spells that he was learning on his own were all the popular versions, which were the versions organized by the Goddess of Magic during the Age of Enlightenment.

Although there was no such thing as outdated magic, compared to the spells developed by the Seven Saint Alliance, his spells were probably considered ‘ ancient magic.”

Matthew was eager to see what ” modern magic ” looked like!

Unfortunately, the balance on his spell license was zero.

“We can only wait until we deal with the Scar of the Dead.”

Matthew thought helplessly.

At this moment, David took out a bunch of shiny gold keys and brought Matthew to a room full of cupboards.

David shouted.

The group of demons from the ceiling flew down.

“Such a young Lord Al? Do you need the services of the fairies? It only costs 100 gold coins per hour, hehe.” David waved his hand and scolded,

“Bring the thing over!”

The goblins left, grimacing, and soon flew back with a trunk in their arms.

David took out a crystal key and opened the box.

Matthew was immediately blinded by the golden light in the box.

The chest was filled with gold coins! “Don’t be too happy, Mr. Matthew.”

David chuckled and reminded him,

“Only the top layer has gold coins, so there isn’t much in total. This form of storage originated from the bad taste of a Supreme Mage. He felt that he had to use gold coins to torture the ambition of the new recruits. If they wanted more money, they would work for the Alliance!

“Please count it yourself. This is the list of items that Al should have. By the way, your arrival is very coincidental. The spring benefits are being distributed. I’ll go get them for you.” As he spoke.

He walked deeper into the room.

Matthew bent down to count the items.

In addition to the 500 gold coins, there were two sets of mage robes of different thicknesses in the box. What made Matthew puzzled was that the standard mage robes issued by the Alliance actually increased charm!

The enchantment spells on the mage robe were also Radiance and Daily Cleansing.

The former could slightly improve a person’s appearance and make them look more energetic.

The latter provided an automatic cleaning spell once a day.

In comparison, Matthew felt that bathing was more comfortable.

There was also a blank spellbook, a 100-point borrowing voucher (used in the

Alliance Library), a thick Alliance Encyclopedia, and an old-fashioned blanket.

No, not a blanket.

This was a magic carpet!

Matthew shook the carpet, and the latter floated in the air. He tried to sit on it, but the magic carpet slipped away!

If Matthew weren’t agile, he would have fallen.

“The magic carpet usually has some spunk to it. You have to train it for two days before you can use it.”

David walked over with a smile.

“If you don’t like it, you can change it to a broomstick. The latter can accelerate faster and fly higher. It’s a flying prop that young people prefer..”
