Chapter 232: Two Conditions

Chapter 232 Two Conditions

Li Wei sat in the Red Class for the entire morning.

Reading the Theory of Magic Fundamentals given to him by Wagg.

Throughout the morning, not a single person went to ask the teacher.

So he simply slept in the classroom for the whole morning.

At noon, the man woke up right on time.

"Class is over. Afternoon is practical training. If you wish to study on your own, you may come here to learn. If you have class, go to the fifth floor of the Mage Tower."

"Goodbye."

The man ended class on time and left on time.

Li Wei put away his book and walked towards the exit.

"Sigh~ Things feel worse and worse. I don't know if I'll have a chance to join the Orange Class this year. If there's no way, I might have to leave next year."

"Staying here is no better than going back."

"Stop complaining. Capable people never complain about the general environment."

"If you really want to, why not just go and pledge allegiance to those people?"

"Forget it. Isn't it precisely because I'm unwilling to be with them that I stayed here?"

Hearing this, Li Wei's heart stirred slightly.

He sensed that there seemed to be some hidden circumstances involved.

So many students in the Red Class, was there another reason behind it?

Forming cliques?

Li Wei shook his head, deciding not to worry about so much.

This had nothing to do with him.

Right now, he was only thinking about how to lift the curse.

During lunchtime, Li Wei ran to the Saint Vilia Library.

After showing his magic badge, he successfully entered the Saint Vilia Library.

"Red Class students get one shichen of library usage time per day, which cannot be accumulated."

Li Wei wore an expression of surprise.

There were actually restrictions.

He checked the rules posted at the entrance.

The higher the rank, the more time one could spend inside the library each day.

Red Class gets one shichen, Orange Class gets two shichens... increasing sequentially, while Purple Class magic students have no time limit.

Moreover, Red Class students were not allowed to borrow books from the library.

Only students above Yellow Class could take books out of the library.

At the same time, as a Red Class student, Li Wei could only read on the first floor of the library.

"The ranks are truly harsh."

Fortunately, Li Wei found a map on the first floor of the library.

A map of the Central Continent.

Li Wei located the position of the Element Tower; the maps stored in the Saint Vilia Library specifically marked the locations of the five high-level Mage Towers including the Element Tower.

The Element Tower was located in the Western Desert Wasteland on the west side of the Central Continent.

The Western Desert Wasteland was originally a fertile land.

Long ago, this place was called the Tianfu Oasis.

Until a super war erupted on this land, turning the entire Tianfu Oasis into a wasteland.

Thus it was renamed the Western Desert Wasteland.

The Element Tower was still on the edge of the Western Desert Wasteland, not yet the most desolate place.

Walking further inside lay the ancient battlefield left thousands of years ago.

Countless ancient lost souls wandered there, unable to reincarnate, unable to find release.

Giving birth to countless undead creatures.

It could be said to be a living hell on earth.

One of the reasons the Element Tower was situated in the Western Desert Wasteland was to guard the countless lost souls within the ancient battlefield.

To prevent the countless lost souls gathered over millennia from entering other regions of the Central Continent.

To prevent the occurrence of an Undead Scourge.

The other four high-level Mage Towers also suppressed forbidden zones similar to ancient battlefields.

The causes for the formation of these forbidden zones were long beyond investigation.

Even during the peak period of the Human Empire, they could not flatten these forbidden zones.

Li Wei found the city closest to the Element Tower on the map.

Storm City.

Outside Storm City stretched a Great Wall extending ten thousand li, isolating the entire Western Desert Wasteland from the outside.

Also known as the Storm Fortress, the Storm Precipice.

Storm City was eight hundred kilometers away from the Element Tower.

The distance was not very far. If Li Wei flew at normal speed, he could arrive within an hour.

The problem was that the area between the Element Tower and Storm City was not blank.

This region was occupied by a large number of dangerous magical beasts.

One wrong step and one would become fodder for some magical beast.

The safest method was naturally to take the teleportation array inside the Element Tower to travel to Storm City.

The Element Tower was a forward outpost of the Human Empire monitoring the undead of the ancient battlefield.

Storm City was an important defensive line of the Human Empire resisting the undead.

Naturally, there was a connection between the two, and the relationship was not shallow.

Many mages graduating from the Element Tower would go to Storm City to hold positions.

Spending some time mixing around in Storm City could yield quite a bit of merit.

Those who wanted to climb higher could use this opportunity to become nobles, then move to other richer places on the Central Continent to continue climbing the tower of power.

For those with backgrounds, Storm City was the most suitable place to build seniority.

After all, this place held no great danger, yet it was of paramount importance.

The undead of the ancient battlefield had remained dormant for centuries.

Ordinarily, one merely fought minor beasts, never truly facing the Scourge of the Undead.

Li Wei flipped through materials within the library, seeking to understand the Elemental Tower's rules.

Indeed, there existed a teleportation array within the Elemental Tower leading directly to Storm City.

However, he could not use it.

He currently lacked the qualification to utilize the teleportation array.

To use the teleportation array, two conditions must be met.

The first condition was becoming a Third-Rank Mage.

Although the Elemental Tower placed no restrictions on students going out, on leaving the Floating Island.

Yet unless there were special circumstances, students below Third-Rank could not use any teleportation arrays within the Floating Island leading to the outside.

You may leave if you wish, but figure it out yourself.

Whether by flying or by walking, both were acceptable.

Your feet grow on your own body; where you wish to go, the Elemental Tower will not stop you.

The second condition was accumulating one hundred credits.

Credits served as currency within the Elemental Tower.

There were many ways to obtain them, the most common being completing the Elemental Tower's academic courses.

Upon completing academic courses and passing the examinations, one could earn credits.

Credits could be used as currency within the Elemental Tower.

Additionally, completing course missions could yield credits.

The Elemental Tower forbade students from trading credits privately.

Once credits reached one hundred, one could spend one hundred gold coins to use the teleportation array, traveling to Storm City.

Spending more gold coins allowed travel to even more distant places.

One could also pay the teleportation fee with credits, consuming only one credit per use.

Official price, one credit equaled one hundred gold coins.

In private transactions, the value far exceeded one hundred gold coins.

Credits also determined whether one could graduate from the Elemental Tower.

A First-Rank Mage learning from start to finish, completing all academic courses successfully, would receive all credits.

When becoming a Third-Rank Mage, one would precisely obtain one hundred credits.

The rules set by the Elemental Tower were quite ingenious.

Two hours later, Li Wei walked out of the library.

Today's time had already been exhausted.

He had also found the information he sought.

How to quickly obtain a large amount of credits?

It was impossible for him to study all academic courses from First-Rank Mage to Third-Rank Mage from beginning to end.

Even with an eight-fold time acceleration cheat, it would still require at least several months.

Then, his only choice was—Practical Course Missions.

Practical Course Missions offered the chance to gain substantial credits.

Unlike theoretical course study, every theoretical course had an upper limit on obtainable credits.

Practical Course Missions varied by situation, with credit rewards far exceeding theoretical course study.

But the danger was greater.
