The second phase of the Mage Tower is progressing very quickly. While Richard was busy building resource points and making the Eye of Mysticism, Richard's clone was also presiding over the second phase of the Mage Tower. The second phase of the project requires the Mage Tower to be increased to nine floors based on the original five floors. According to the design blueprint, the total height of the nine-story Mage Tower will reach 150 meters. The height of the first five floors is only 40 meters, while the height of the last four floors reaches 110 meters, with an average height of more than 25 meters per floor, of which the ninth floor will occupy 50 meters. The ninth floor tower occupies so much space because there are many things that need to be installed. The top of the tower needs to be installed with an observatory, a magic particle railgun, a control center, a navigation platform, a maze lock center, etc. The sixth floor of the Mage Tower is going to be built into a golem workshop, where the Mage Tower's golem army will be stationed. Richard is going to use the seventh floor as a dormitory for mage apprentices and their study and activity area, and the eighth floor will be used as a library. Many things on the fifth floor will be moved to the ninth floor, and the fifth floor of the Mage Tower will be used as a laboratory. Because there are a large number of skeletons working day and night, and the magic [Turn Mud into Stone] is used, the construction speed of the Mage Tower is very fast. It took only two months for the overall construction of the Mage Tower to be basically completed. The next step is to engrave the rune array. The clone is very busy, and Richard's life is relatively leisurely, but today he is going to see the orphans who have just been sent from all over America. In the past three months, Richard's company has found tens of thousands of orphans from all over America through various means. Then these orphans were screened for the first time, and finally more than a hundred people were selected. Next, Richard will screen the remaining children for the second time. The children who passed the second screening will stay here. After signing the soul contract, they can learn the knowledge of the mage and become a glorious mage apprentice.
Richard conducted a test on these children. The content of the test is the content of the mage test formulated by the Supreme Arcane Council. As long as the test score reaches 70 points, it means that he has the qualifications to become a mage. If the score reaches more than 90, there is a possibility of advancing to a senior mage. Only those who reach 95 points have the qualifications to become a legend. Richard's test score was 96 points, and his natural intelligence attribute was 17 points. He was able to achieve this high score thanks to his studies before crossing. At that time, he received a lot of scholarships by publishing a lot of arcane papers with novel ideas. He also used these scholarships to buy wishing scrolls and make wishes to increase intelligence attributes. Until he entered the legendary level, he would use wishing and big wishing to increase intelligence attributes. Before coming to Blue Star, his intelligence had reached 32 points. Unfortunately, the damage caused by the time and space storm at that time was too serious, which made his own attributes drop a lot. In a manor in the suburbs of New York. More than a hundred children are being tested. It took about a day for all the children to take the test, and only 32 children passed the test in the end. However, among the 32 children, the highest score was only 86 points, not even 90 points. Richard was not surprised by this result. According to the data given by the Supreme Arcane Council, only one in three hundred children has the qualifications of a mage, and only one in five thousand mage apprentices has the possibility of advancing to a legendary level. But in fact, the rate of advancing to a legendary mage is lower than this data. Because some people died on their way to growth. After having the remaining children properly arranged, Richard brought the remaining children to the Mage Tower. When these innocent children saw the magical plants in the manor, they were immediately curious about magic. After Richard released a few simple magic tricks, all the children were full of interest in this magical magic and wanted to learn it. Then Richard successfully signed a soul contract with these children. Then Richard called the three children over and told them that these children would learn magic with them, and asked the three children to take them to collect personal items, dormitory keys and books. After learning that these children in front of them would learn magic like them, the three little ones suddenly brightened up, and then pretended to be old-fashioned, pointing at these new children: "Are you the new students in the academy? What are your names?" "George." "John." "Conor." These newcomers carefully reported their names. Since knowing that this is a magic academy, these children think that everyone here is a magician and a big shot. When they don't know the specific situation, these children are all intimidated. Although the three little ones look about the same age as them, they have a strong aura, which makes them obey subconsciously. "Welcome to the New York Magic Academy, we will be classmates in the future." "In the academy, you must respect your mentors, respect your seniors, study hard, and listen carefully to your seniors. Do you understand?" Pietro said with full momentum. "I understand!" The thirty-two children nodded honestly.
"That's good. Besides, there are many dangerous areas in the academy. It's best not to go there unless necessary, especially the botanical garden. By the way, there are some flower fairies in the botanical garden. If you can defeat them, you will get a mysterious reward." Hearing about the mysterious reward, many children were a little excited. "By the way, there are many skeleton servants in the academy. Don't be afraid when you see them. They won't attack or hurt you. They are summoned by the instructor to do work." "Okay, I'll take you to get your things and get familiar with the environment." After that, the three little ones turned around and took the children away. If someone looked at them from the front, they would find that the three little ones had a smirk on their lips, as if they were holding it back a little uncomfortable. Seeing those children eager to try, the three little ones said silently in their hearts: Cherish your happy time now, and soon you will understand how difficult it is to learn spells. For the three little ones' bad taste, Richard just smiled slightly. At the beginning, the three little ones were taught a lesson by the group of flower fairies many times, and they didn't win once. Now seeing their behavior, Richard felt that it was not bad to keep it as a reserved project of the magic academy. The three little ones did not lie. If someone is lucky enough to get the favor of the flower fairies, they can indeed get a mysterious gift. You know, the flower fairies still have a lot of good things in their hands. Just like the honey of hundreds of flowers, this kind of thing that can directly increase mental strength and magic power is better than many magic potions, and its effect is mild, making it suitable for apprentices.
