Chapter 345 Magical Journey (End)(1/2)
For the next two days, Jiang Qi concentrated on playing the role of a humble and polite human visiting student at the Incredible Magic Academy.
With the help of Kua Kua and Lilian, Jiang Qi basically figured out the situation in this world.
First of all, the world is very big.
There are a total of 262 countries, large and small, on the entire continent. The Antarctic country that Jiang Qi knew before is one of the largest human countries and is famous for its wealth.
In fact, the human race is not a race with particularly good magic talents. It is a race that is more than better than the others. Some very rare races such as elves and dragons are the real darlings of magic. They have good talents and live a long life. If they are not
The fertility rate is too low and the continent has long been unified.
Take the dragon race as an example. Everyone in this race is capable of fighting, and they are covered in top-quality magic materials. If they are really in poverty, they can return to wealth by taking some dragon scales from their bodies and adding some dragon blood.
Take the frost dragon that caused the entire Antarctic Kingdom to relocate as an example. The Antarctic Kingdom is already considered one of the top human kingdoms, and it still has money. A prince's robe costs 100,000 coins. He boasts that the whole family will work all his life.
I can't make enough money for a robe.
For such a kingdom, the whole country was moved due to the corpse of a giant dragon.
At this time, someone may want to ask, if your Antarctic country is so powerful and rich, it’s impossible that you can’t even find a few powerful magicians, right?
Is there a bug in the previous version of "Ice and Snow World"? The magicians who took the mission were all poor people who owed money, and they didn't feel like powerful magicians. It was unreasonable.
Jiang Qi also asked Lillian this question, and Lillian’s reply was:
Yes, Antarctica is such a big country but there are not many powerful magicians.
In this world, the prerequisite for becoming a magician is to have money.
Magic is expensive.
The tuition fees at the Incredible Magic Academy are relatively low among magic schools of the same level, otherwise the principal would not have come up with the idea of breaking a table and paying 5,000 coins as a way to make a fortune and generate income.
But even with relatively low tuition fees, taking Goblin, which charges the lowest fee, as an example, the tuition fee is 3,000 laden coins a year, and it will cost 18,000 laden coins after 6 years of study.
La coins are the highest level currency in this magical continent. When converted into gold coins, there are also silver coins and copper coins below.
Kua Kua's mother works at the Duke's house, which is considered a decent and high-paying job among goblins, but she only earns 80 coins a month.
Kua Kua's father opened a small restaurant and earned an average of 40 laksin a month.
Grandpa is a tailor, and his income is relatively low, only 30 lak per month.
Grandma does not have a formal job. She usually does odd jobs and earns 10 coins a month.
Kua Kua's family's monthly income is only 160 La coins, which is 1,920 La coins a year.
He boasted that the tuition for 6 years required the whole family to save for nearly ten years without eating or drinking.
Considering that Kua Kua's mother works in the Duke's family and can harvest the Duke's wool, and the family basically spends nothing on daily expenses, it doesn't seem so unacceptable to spend 10 years saving a future for their children.
However, Kua Kua has a total of 17 brothers and sisters.
Goblins are famous for their fertility. More than 1,000 years ago, goblins had a lower status and were basically slaves.
Goblins eat less, do more, and can give birth, but cannot be beaten yet.
What a perfect choice for a slave.
In a word of praise, because he has excellent cooking talent and is hard-working, his parents and elders all think that if he can go to a magic school and get to know some rich and powerful classmates, he can directly work as a servant in his classmates' homes.
After graduating from the magic school, he could inherit his mother's job and work as a servant in the Duke's family, taking care of his brothers and sisters. With the prospect and value of investment, he was willing to grit his teeth and spend all his savings for him to attend the magic school.
Sorry for going too far.
Let’s talk about why there are so few powerful magicians in Antarctica.
Because raising a magician is too expensive!
It costs 18,000 coins for a magic insulator to attend a magic school (to put it bluntly, a technical school). You can imagine the tuition fees for other races that can learn magic.
Being a magician is expensive.
An ordinary crystal ball costs one or two hundred coins, and a rare crystal ball like a cursed crystal ball costs thousands. Magic stones of various elements are not expensive, costing tens of coins each, but they are used in large amounts!
The magic stones in this magical world are just like the spiritual stones in the world of cultivation. If you don't have enough magic power to fight half the time, you have to rely on the magician to renew it. Doing experiments also requires a lot of magic stones. Not to mention that you need all kinds of magic stones on the road to becoming a magician.
Magic materials, on the road to becoming a magician, it can be said that it is difficult to move forward without money.
Great magicians are all created by talent and huge amounts of money!
Therefore, there are only two types of magicians in this world.
A poor guy who has no money and is working everywhere because he owes money.
A master who is rich and powerful and completely disdains part-time work.
Under normal circumstances, unless a country has a powerful magician in the royal family, the powerful magicians will not bother to work for the country. They usually teach in magic academies and study magic by themselves, and occasionally go out to earn some extra money when they are short of money.
Lilian had heard of dragon blood sellers. Dragon blood is a very good magic material and can make money quickly.
Lillian was so envious of this that her eyes were red, and she just hated that her blood was worthless.
Even though Lilian seems to be very poor now, she ended up like this after bombing the laboratory 90 times and burning a robe of the Prince of Antarctica. She is the daughter of a marquis.
Although she had already lost all the property her father had given him, starting from the 65th bombing of the laboratory, it was Teacher Ling who helped her pay for it.
If Teacher Zero had only 3/4 corpses left, she wouldn't be so poor.
At this time, someone may want to ask, don’t children from ordinary families have the chance to become magicians?
have!
Academy of Dark Arts!
The Black Magic Academy has no tuition fees and provides all kinds of teaching materials for free. The only drawback is that the graduation rate is too low, and it is difficult for most students to survive to graduate.

"Is this the signature dish of the legendary Orc Canteen, Orc Barbeque?"
Jiang Qi looked at the plate in front of him that was bigger than his face, and the meat in the plate that was bigger than the plate, and began to doubt his life.
Although the orcs are relatively tall and strong, with the shorter one being more than three meters and the taller one being 5 meters, they can't eat more than ten kilograms of meat in one meal, right?
This is just the main course, the side dishes haven't been served yet.
"That's right." Lillian cut the meat briskly with a knife and fork, "That's why I said the three of us should have one portion. One person would definitely not be able to finish the meal if he had one portion."
"Teacher Lillian, let me do it." Kua Kua sat on the high chair, diligently took the knife and fork from Lillian's hand to cut the meat, and began to divide the meat carefully.
The most tender part is given to Jiang Qi, the slightly stringy part is given to Lillian (she likes to eat it), and the part that is not too roasted, a bit old, or is too raw and bleeds after being cut is left to herself.
"Classmate Jiang Qi, today is your last day as a visiting student. After this meal, I will send you off. Have you considered coming to our school?" Lilian looked at Jiang Qi longingly.
Jiang Qi ate meat strategically, inserting a piece of natural roasted mutton without sauce into his mouth, pretending that he was too busy to eat so he couldn't answer any questions.
The giant sheep is a specialty animal of the forest country. Jiang Qi has never seen it in person. It is said that a sheep weighs two to three thousand kilograms. Its delicious meat is loved by the majority of orcs.
It's called Giant Sheep, but it tastes like beef and is cooked in the same way as steak. The meat is simply marinated and then fried in butter.
It's just that the piece of meat provided by the Orc Restaurant is too big, thick and large, so each part of the piece of meat is not very symmetrical. Some places are very fresh, some are undercooked, and some are too old.
.
Of course, Jiang Qi ate the most tender parts.
"Still thinking about it." Jiang Qi swallowed the meat, "Didn't I tell you, Teacher Lillian, yesterday? My family still has some concerns about whether I should go to a magic school."
If Jiang Qi went back and told Jiang Xiaoliang that he decided to go to a magic school in another world, Jiang Xiaoliang would go crazy.
Even if Jiang Xiaoliang himself is not crazy, he must think that Jiang Qi is crazy.
"Our incredible magic school is very good!" Lillian is like a sincere but stupid salesperson who really wants customers to buy items, but doesn't know how to persuade them, "It's really, really good!"
“Tuition is very low!”
"My family is actually not short of money."
“The food in the cafeteria is delicious!”
“It’s very unique, but the food in my canteen is also quite delicious.”
Apart from anything else in the amusement park, the dim sum served by Master Bai and the dishes at Jasmine Restaurant are still very good.
Lilian racked her brains: "The Time Magician is really promising!"
Jiang Qi looked at Lilian with a suspicious look on his face. Are you sure?
"Really." Lilian was so anxious that she almost stamped her feet, "Let me tell you this, the 10 years of salary I deducted is not my salary."
"No, it should be said that it is not my future salary, but my current salary."
"Isn't my current teaching level not up to par? So I can only get a teacher's basic salary. The basic salary is 200 yen a month, but I get extra money whether I teach classes or take care of students."
"I am the youngest teacher in the whole school. I started studying at the school at the age of 10 and graduated at the age of 16. After graduation, I stayed in the school directly as a teaching assistant for Teacher Zero. I became a full-time teacher two years later. It has been three years since I became a full-time teacher. I am only 21 years old!"
"Many human magicians are just magician apprentices when they are 21 years old, but I am a magician!"
"If you enroll this year, you will study for three years first. In the fourth year, I will go to the principal to apply for you to be my student. By the time you graduate, I should have the teaching qualification. Then I will continue to teach you if you stay in school.
Not only can you save tuition, but you can also earn wages.”
"I will have money by then, and I will help you pay for the money you spent bombing the laboratory!"
