I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 1378 - 781: Magic Journal and Thesis

Jonas City, [Source of All Magic] Mage Tower,

"Well then, welco [Free Reciter] Simone to join us."

Lis smiled and extended his hand to Simone.

"Haha, of course!"

Simone did not hesitate, laughing as well.

Originally, he did not intend to join [Source of All Magic].

He had planned only to et the second councilman’s disciple at the vote eting of the Legendary Council.

But unexpectedly, Lis’s declaration of the tenets of [Source of All Magic] was so unique.

It was at that mont that he beca deeply interested.

Not just in [Source of All Magic], but in Lis himself as well.

He was curious, originally as the second councilman’s disciple, Lis would easily gain a lot of support upon joining the Pan-Continent Mage Association.

In his situation, not to ntion the [Tower of Burning Embers] school, which almost worshipped the second councilman [Judgent Fla] Stephens like a deity, even the other two top schools would show Lis enough respect.

But Lis not only chose not to join any school, but decided to establish a new school.

Up to this point, the situation was still considered normal.

With Lis’s special identity and the Kane Floating City he controlled, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to establish a new school and rank it as the fourth top school within the Pan-Continent Mage Association.

In fact, even if Lis did nothing in the Pan-Continent Mage Association’s order system, he would still reap ample benefits.

But Lis chose not to do so.

His declaration at the vote eting was akin to firing shots at all schools within the association, standing in opposition to them.

Not just to the three major top schools, even the declining schools without any Legendary mbers were affected the sa way.

In reality, the leaders and mbers of those declining schools could still live well off the accumulation they had made from their schools over the years.

Compared to those top schools, they just couldn’t ddle in the association’s top resources.

But compared to other mages shut out by the schools, the differences in treatnt and conditions were fairly significant.

Within the Pan-Continent Mage Association, the number of mages accepted by the schools is actually quite small.

Most mages can only attain the status of "researcher" within the schools.

This so-called "researcher" basically ans being able to take on commissions from the school, exchanging rewards by fulfilling tasks.

However, their actual treatnt does not compare to true school mbers, nor can they access the genuinely valuable magic knowledge of the schools.

That is the true position of schools within the Pan-Continent Mage Association.

Most mages see joining a school as the only opportunity to advance.

Additionally, all mages who have joined schools are vested interests in this scenario, and will autonomously maintain the operation of this model.

This is one of the reasons the Pan-Continent Mage Association has beco increasingly rigid over the years.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Many Mid and Low-tier Mages are quite dissatisfied with this situation within the Pan-Continent Mage Association and have helplessly chosen to leave the association for exploration.

Among them are also Legendary Mages.

However, the power wielded by the schools is too overwhelming, leaving many feeling helpless.

[Free Reciter] Simone is one of them.

But he’s different from the others; he doesn’t care about any Floating City Magic Workshop, he simply detests this rigid and stifling atmosphere.

That’s why he seldom appears in the Legendary Council, instead choosing to wander around the association’s affiliated cities.

The reason he attended that vote eting was because of his curiosity about Lis.

However, he didn’t expect to beco interested as a result.

When Lis invited him, Simone had no intentions of refusing.

"Now that I’m the deputy editor of the [Source of All Magic] Magic Journal, there are so matters I’d like to confirm with you."

After reaching an agreent, the atmosphere in the room eased considerably, with Simone smiling as he spoke to Lis.

"Shouldn’t you discuss the benefits of joining [Source of All Magic] first?"

Lis was not surprised by Simone’s enthusiasm; he knew Simone’s personality well.

Simply put, this guy is a thrill seeker!

Wherever there’s excitent in the Pan-Continent Mage Association, Simone will be there.

Of course, Simone also cares about promises.

Otherwise, Lis wouldn’t trust him enough to recruit him.

Previously not joining any school, and proficient in a wide range of spells, Simone was the most suitable candidate to manage the magic journal besides Lis.

"Those are trivial matters; I’m more curious about this journal of yours!"

Simone waved his hand nonchalantly, holding the green-covered "Nature" in his hand.

"I just skimd through these journals; each seems to correspond to different magic domains... papers?"

"What is a paper?"

Lis nodded with a smile, but instead of answering directly, he asked Simone:

"What differences do you think are there between the papers in these magic journals and the previous magic books?"

"This..."

Simone hesitated a bit, then reopened the not so thick "Nature" in his hand, choosing a paper to read.

As he flipped through, Simone seed to notice sothing, flipping back and forth to compare different papers.
