MCIF Chapter 15.2

Chapter 15.2 – The Mage Association

Li De gave a slight smile and said, “It seems that although you have been in contact with magic for a decent amount of time, you still do not truly understand magic. Among the magic tools, gold ranked is already a fairly high level. Magic tools are divided into a total of six classes: god class, sub-god class, dark-gold class, gold class, silver class, and bronze class. Although gold class is only ranked fourth, you should know that if you were to sell that gold-ranked cane on the market, it would fetch over 1000 purple-gold coins. Dark-gold magic tools are extremely uncommon, while god and sub-god class equipment is extremely hard to get, even for the President. All he has is one sub-god level magic cane.  According to rumours, true god class tools are only held by the Ice Snow Goddess’s top brass worshipers at the Ice God’s Pagoda. The form is unknown, but it is likely it’s not a staff.”

Nian Bing looked at the Icicle rod in his grasp, and his heart trembled. ‘If it’s like this, then what level will my Morning Dew Knife be at, if considered a staff? I’m afraid it is at least a dark-gold ranked treasure.’ After all, the Ice Snow Goddess’s stone obviously had a much better quality than the gem on the Icicle rod.

“Many thanks to all, Magic Scholars and the President, for your guidance. I will definitely strive hard in cultivation so that I may soon become a powerful mage.”  After this tiger balm speech, Nian Bing’s thoughts had already flown to the Mage Association’s library. Right now, he had already received the necessary Ice magic spells and only needed to commit them to memory.

Li De smiled slightly and said, “Everything that should’ve been given to you has already been given, so the ceremony is completed. Now, I will tell you the Association’s rules, in order to save you from treading wrongly. You must commit the most important rules to memory. First of all, as a mage of the Ice Moon Empire Mage Association, no matter the time, you must unconditionally obey the association’s assignment. In the case that the Association discovers a crisis, you must act as a Mage Corps member. As for the specific position, it depends on your current mage rank. The point is, you need to abide by your orders. If not, not only will your mage rank be revoked, but you will also receive strict discipline from the mage association.”

Nian Bing nodded. Since he’d been given so much power, it was inevitable that it would come with responsibilities.

Li De continued, “Moreover, when the Ice Moon Empire meets a crisis, as members of the Ice Moon Empire Mage Association we have an obligation to help the Ice Moon Empire resist its enemies. In this kind of situation, you also need to unconditionally accept conscription and become a mage of the Ice Moon Empire Corps. Of course, in these circumstances, the Empire will pay you an additional compensation, and the remuneration will be significant. If you perform a meritorious deed, there will also be a further prize.”

Hearing such words, Nian Bing’s misgivings arose. ‘Since this is the Mage Association of the Ice Moon Empire, shouldn’t the empire’s interest be first? Why is it, then, that in the rules the first tenet is rather to unconditionally listen to the orders given by the Mage Association? From what I can tell, it feels extremely strange. Could it be that what benefits the Mage Association does not benefit the empire？’

Li De continued to speak, “Lastly, after becoming a mage of the Association, if the Association needs you to assume a certain office, you need to comply and await further instructions. Of course, in your current circumstances, the Association won’t set you up in a post. Right now, the most important thing is for you to work hard and raise your own magic power. You must strive to quickly reach the realm of Magic Scholar. If you become a Magic Scholar, you will possess great authoritative power in the Mage Association, and you will also be rewarded by the Association’s Elders.”
