Of course, people with strength will be welcomed and treated well everywhere, but unless you reach the level of a seventh-order archmage, your social status is still inferior to that of nobles and officials.
In the continent of Aize, the power of magic dominates many situations, and the rank of a magician is a clear yardstick to measure his strength. Among them, there is a huge gap between the sixth-rank master and the seventh-rank archmage, which is like a chasm.
Once one advances to the seventh-level Grand Mage, one has entered another extraordinary realm, and the level of life has undergone a qualitative transformation.
The seventh-level archmage's understanding of magic has long surpassed simple elemental manipulation and has reached the level of beginning to understand the laws.
They can sense the slightest fluctuations of the magical elements around them, and then distort and reshape the laws at will, allowing magic to operate according to their will.
At the national level, the seventh-level archmage is like a strategic nuclear weapon.
In a war, as long as there is a seventh-level great wizard in charge, the enemy army will be afraid and dare not attack rashly.
Because they knew very well that no matter how many troops they sent out, they would be as vulnerable as ants in front of this terrifying and powerful man.
This kind of destructive power makes the seventh-level great wizard the top combat force that all countries try their best to win over and respect. Their every move is related to the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the country. They are truly invincible beings standing at the top of the food chain.
The path to advancement in magic is like a dangerous road full of thorns and fog. The journey from a sixth-level master to a seventh-level archmage is more difficult than one can imagine.
Being able to become a sixth-level master is already a remarkable achievement in itself. Magicians need to spend a lot of time and energy, immersing themselves in the vast ocean of magical knowledge, studying all kinds of obscure ancient books, and comprehending the mysteries of the elements.
Not only do they need to master the techniques of performing a variety of high-level magic, they also have to constantly hone their own magic power, just like forging a magic weapon, making the magic power more condensed and powerful.
In actual combat, one must go through countless life-and-death tests and accumulate rich experience before being able to use magic accurately and efficiently at critical moments.
However, even so, breaking through the shackles of the sixth level and entering the seventh level is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Countless magicians spend their entire lives stuck at the sixth level, unable to move forward.
The reasons behind this are complicated. First of all, the seventh level's requirements for understanding magic have already surpassed conventional knowledge.
It requires the magician to go deep into the core of the law, to sense the most subtle and mysterious fluctuations hidden behind the magic elements, and then to integrate his own will with it, to distort and reshape the law at will.
This is by no means something that can be achieved through simple knowledge learning and skill practice. It is more like a deep exploration of the soul and the origin of the universe, which requires extraordinary insight and opportunity.
Furthermore, the accumulation of magic power becomes extremely slow and difficult at high levels. The magical reserves of a sixth-level master may seem deep, but compared to what a seventh-level master needs, it is just a drop in the ocean.
In addition, spiritual training is also crucial. A seventh-level archmage must always maintain a keen sense of magical elements, which requires their mental strength to be as deep and stable as the vast starry sky, and be able to resist all interference and temptation from the outside world.
Because of this, "one in ten thousand" is not enough to describe the difficulty of entering the seventh level. It can even be said to be one in a hundred thousand, or even rarer.
In the world, a sixth-level master might occasionally appear on some important occasions, showing off his superb skills and allowing others to get a glimpse of the power of high-level magic.
But what about the seventh-level wizard? Not to mention that ordinary people may hardly see him in their entire lives, even for ordinary magicians who have entered the magic world and have been struggling on the road of magic for many years, it is very difficult to have the opportunity to see his grace and grace.
Take the famous Arcane Academy for example, it brings together magic elites from all over the continent and has a strong faculty.
However, even so, there are only a few teachers in the academy who have reached the seventh level.
Generally speaking, as long as one reaches the sixth level, with solid magical skills and rich knowledge reserves, one can obtain a teaching position in the Arcane Academy, impart knowledge, and train future students.
However, seventh-level great wizards are often elusive. They either live in seclusion in mysterious places to practice hard, or are invited by royal families of various countries with valuable gifts to give advice on major events concerning the destiny of the country. They rarely show up in public.
They are like the bright stars hanging high in the magic sky. Although they are out of reach, they have attracted countless magicians to yearn for them. They have successively embarked on this arduous road of advancement. Even if the hope is slim, they have never given up chasing the supreme seventh level.
The floating island above the Arcane Academy, the most mysterious floating academy, is where countless sixth-level students explore the path to becoming seventh-level wizards.
Electrolux frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "President Merlin, for seniors like these who have reached the sixth level and have made outstanding achievements in certain fields, is it not a bit... inappropriate to let them take the exam together with those inexperienced students and ordinary graduates in the academy?"
Merlin raised his eyes, his gaze was deep and determined. How could he not know what Alex was worried about?
Today's Arcane City is like a magnificent tower that has just been laid. It is at a critical juncture of its initial development. A large number of professional and capable talents are urgently needed at all levels to add bricks and tiles.
These seniors who graduated long ago and are very outstanding are undoubtedly rare gems. They have been through many battles and have accumulated rich practical experience in their respective fields. Whether it is alchemy, potion research and development, or government affairs processing and military strategy, they all have their own unique features. Some of them even hold important positions under great nobles and are well versed in the aristocratic class's rules of conduct and interests.
What's more, they have been working in the officialdom of the six empires for many years and are familiar with the operating procedures of the imperial bureaucracy. If they can be recruited to the Arcane City, they will be able to carry out their work with ease when they take office, quickly inject strong executive power into the city hall, and push the city's development into the fast lane.
Talent is precious, Merlin knows this better than anyone else. Seeing Electrolux's worried look, he gently patted his shoulder and said in a firm and steady tone: "Don't worry, Electrolux, I have my own special policy arrangements for these people."
"A special arrangement?" A hint of doubt flashed in Alex's eyes. Before he could think about it, he saw Merlin reach out and pick up a document and hand it to him.
Electrolux quickly took it with both hands and looked eagerly at the first page of the document. When he saw those eye-catching big words, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Talent introduction?!" he blurted out, with a hint of doubt in his voice.
