Chapter 623: Learning
Chapter 623: Learning (Request for Subscriptions, Favorites, and Votes)
A ethereal female voice suddenly echoed from all directions, somewhat like the kind of electronic voice from a machine. This must be the Tower Spirit of this Mage Tower. Liam found such Magic-made artificial intelligence quite interesting, even though he could use Rose Madonna fragments to create Alchemic Lives with far superior intelligence. However, in terms of cost and suitability, nothing matched the Tower Spirit.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing was a core secret of the Magic Tower, and Liam doubted he would be able to tour it. Soon, a flash of light, and everyone appeared in a corridor. It seemed that this Magic Tower primarily used dimensional teleportation to move between floors.
After turning a corner, Lady Elastron was already waiting for them. Seeing Liam and the others appear in the corridor, she welcomed them, "Welcome to my Mage Tower, dear friends from afar!"
Liam and his companions immediately bowed in greeting. After returning the courtesy, Lady Elastron dismissed the Herald and led the way. "Please follow me!"
Soon they arrived at a door at the end of the corridor. The door was made of metal, adorned with extremely complex Magic patterns. Liam could sense that this door itself was a powerful Alchemical Product, far superior in security to the top-tier vault doors at Gringotts. Clearly, this was Lady Elastron's Treasury.
Since Lady Elastron had privately assigned the task to Liam and his group without notifying the Silver Moon Council, the reward naturally came from her personal resources.
Lady Elastron extended her hand to the metal door and began chanting a spell in an unfamiliar language. Soon, the patterns on the door came to life, and after a low hum, the heavy door opened.
"Please come in", Lady Elastron gestured, and Liam and the others immediately entered. The dimension inside appeared much larger than the outside, likely due to a Dimensional Expansion Spell.
The entire dimension was about the size of two basketball courts, filled with numerous shelves. The shelves held various items, including Magic Artifacts, precious materials, and Magic Books.
"My friends", Lady Elastron turned and said, "because what you did far exceeded our initial agreement, in addition to the agreed-upon rewards, I will allow you to learn all Magic up to level seven in the Magichouse. Additionally, the Magic exchange will be six level-eight and two level-nine spells."
"Thank you very much, Lady", they thanked her and followed Lady Elastron up the stairs to the second-floor secret vault. This vault was much smaller, perhaps only about 100 square meters. In the center of the vault, a heavy Magic book was placed on a stand.
Soon, Liam and his companions selected the Magic they needed. Liam chose a level-nine Time Stop, a level-eight Ghost Form, and a level-eight Adamantine Body. The other slots were given to Hermione, who chose one level-nine and four level-eight Necromancy spells. In exchange, Liam and his group provided part of the key methods for creating Rose Madonna and some insights into death, as these involved knowledge at the legendary tier, only a portion was sufficient to exchange for the eight spells.
"Your Magic is truly remarkable", said Liam and Hermione after extracting the memories with their wands and placing them in a Crystal Vial to give to Lady Elastron. Lady Elastron quickly understood what the silver web-like substance in the vial was. Within ten minutes, she extracted identical silver threads from her temple and placed them in the vial, handing it to Liam.
This was the power of the Chosen of the Magic Goddess, who could easily learn such a simple spell through certain means.
"Lady, may we request to study at the Magichouse?" Liam asked after completing the exchange.
"Of course, that is a very reasonable request", Lady Elastron replied. As a fellow caster, she understood the eagerness to absorb new knowledge and broaden one's horizons after discovering a different arcane system in a new place. In fact, she planned to study the knowledge Liam had given her that very night.
"I will arrange for you to join the School, but knowledge is money, and the costs of your studies will need to be covered by you."
"Of course, we can afford the costs of learning Magic. To be honest, in our world, no matter how wealthy one is, knowledge is often unobtainable", Liam said with a touch of sentiment.
"That sounds terrible. Exchanging knowledge in Magic is very important, even essential", Lady Elastron said as she led them out, sharing her views on the importance of communication in Magic studies. She escorted them all the way to the main hall on the first floor of the Magic Tower, which sparked a lot of speculation among the crowd about Liam and his companions' identities.
In reality, Silvermoon City truly became the jewel and the strongest city of the Northern Lands a year or two later. At that time, all the human, elf, and dwarf leaders from the Northern Lands, from the High Forest in the north to the Eternal Wilderness in the west and the Highpeak Mountains in the south, would gather together. After discussions, they formed a federation called the Silver Moon Federation.
Of course, this federation was extremely loose, with most regions remaining semi-independent after joining. The only things that held them together were Eilistraee the Immortal and a mutual defense agreement.
As a result, at that time, Silvermoon City would become the true center of the Northern Lands. The political, economic, cultural, and magical power centers would shift from the three coastal cities to the Silver Moon Federation. At that time, Silvermoon City would truly be the Crown of the North. Liam and his companions were a bit early; the Silver Moon Federation’s Magic School had not yet been established.
However, being early had its advantages. Offering help at this time was like bringing coal to Newcastle, making it easier to earn the goodwill of Silvermoon City. As for the issue of a lack of a unified school causing difficulties in education, Liam and Hermione assured that with Apparition, it wasn't a problem.
Lady Elastron arranged for Liam and his companions to be Auditors. From the next day on, Liam and Hermione began a routine of learning, living a life that revolved around three points. The Magic in this world was very different from the Harry Potter world, but it had its own unique and coherent system. Liam and his companions absorbed knowledge like a dry sponge soaking up water from the Magic School in Silvermoon City.
Although the systems were different, the principles of controlling power were universal. With the help of the Tranquility Array in Silvermoon City, Liam and his companions spent only half a year mastering the Magic they should have known at their level.
Of course, this was also thanks to the Phoenix Mark, which kept their minds connected for long periods. During their studies, two brains working on the same problem were far more efficient than one, not to mention that Liam would also fully activate the Rose Madonna to aid his thinking.
During this time, Silvermoon City remained peaceful, possibly because the complete defeat of the orcs had silenced the surrounding enemies. The hostility of these creatures wouldn't disappear, and the pressure on Silvermoon City still existed.
To further strengthen their relationship with the city and facilitate future regular exchanges, Liam and Lady Elastron conducted multiple transactions. As a city that needed to import weapons and frequently engaged in battles, selling weapons was a very good business, and a Legendary Mage like Liam was more than capable of handling it.
Moreover, Liam didn't get involved in the highly competitive market for high-quality weapons but focused on selling various consumables and cheap armor, such as machine-made arrow shafts and arrowheads, javelin shafts and heads, and stamped steel scale and chain mail.
If produced manually, these items would be very expensive, but machine production drastically reduced the cost. Soon, Liam received a steady stream of orders from the city's defense forces. This was undoubtedly a win-win deal, allowing the city's defense forces, who could previously only afford leather armor, to now be fully equipped with iron armor, better prepared to face the various enemies of the Northern Lands.
To further build a closer relationship with Silvermoon City, Liam and his companions also completed many tasks during this period. One of the most dangerous was facing an avatar of the God of the Hunt, Malar. Fortunately, they were not the main force but were merely assisting the Forest Lady's avatar in the mission. They successfully destroyed the avatar of the God of the Hunt, Malar.
While such actions would certainly offend Malar, they also strengthened the relationship between the benevolent deities and Silvermoon City. Overall, it was a profitable move. Besides, the deities of this world couldn't pursue them to other worlds, and Liam always stayed near Silvermoon City, so he didn't think Malar had the ability to retaliate.
Of course, this adventure also brought Liam and his companions a new batch of knowledge, ranging from alchemy to the construction of Magic Towers. Although this knowledge was general, it helped fill in the gaps in Liam's skills as a caster.
