Chapter 383: The Guldur Spire

With his morning meeting with Clarisa over, Marcus began heading towards the southern part of the capital, where the Guldur Spire was.

Today he was meeting up with Aria, and now that he was going to be working for the kingdom even if only in a limited capacity, they were going to give him access to a number of spells.

Normally these spells were only handed out to the kingdom's mages as they advanced through the ranks, but Marcus was a special case, and to make him stronger he was getting access to all of the kingdom's spells.

Riding on a rented carriage, Marcus soon was able to see the Guldur Spire which rose up high into the sky and looked very different from all of the other building in the capital city.

It was silver and sleek and stood above everything else in the vicinity.

It was also the only area that had beasts and people actively flying around, its air space not being under restriction like most of the capital.

'Wow, that certainly is a sight to see.' Marcus thought as he stared at the imposing tower.

Eventually his carriage made it to the gate of the spire's ground, and let Marcus off in front of the impressive campus that was the Guldur Spire.

'So, this is where the kingdom's strongest mages gather, and teach the next generation the art of magic.'

Even from the outskirts as Marcus looked in, he could see that this place was very much like the idealist magic school he had in his mind would be.

"Hello there, are you planning to enroll as a new student."

Turning his head, Marcus noticed that one of the people that was manning the gates had come up to him.

Looking at her Marcus could see that she was all smiles and acting quite polite.

Of course, this woman who was actually also a teacher had noticed Marcus' fine clothes that were enchanted with some powerful formation and must have been very expensive.

So to her, Marcus was obviously some noble, and figured that he was here to become a new student.

"Hm, oh no, I am not here to become a student. I am here for a meet with Grand Archmage Aria. This is my first time here, so I was just marveling at the spire and its grounds before going in."

Hearing this the woman actually started laughing think that this was some type of joke. 

People did not just show up and have a meeting with the most powerful mage in the kingdom.

In fact, even she had never had a one-on-one meeting with the Grand Archmage, even after being a teacher for three years.

Shrugging his shoulders, Marcus walked past the laughing woman, and went up to the guard station and presented them with the letter that Aria had given him, along with the emblem he had received from the king.

Seeing both off these, the guard who was currently at the station went wide eyed and said, "Please just a moment, Lady Geist."

"Madame Comfrey, I need you to confirm this letter for me." The guard said with panic in his voice.

The woman who had approached Marcus earlier, who was still chuckling a bit, looked confused before looking at the guard and then Marcus.

Seeing the frantic expression on the guard's face, she quickly moved back over to her post, and the guard handed her the letter.

Immediately she recognized the grand archmage's crest as well as the royal family's on the letter.

She swiftly pulled out a magical device that would reveal if the crests were genuine, and when it glowed indicating they were, her face went pale and she began sweating.

Honestly, she had though that Marcus was just joking when he said he had a meeting with the grand archmage.

"Please forgive me for my disrespect earlier. I will have someone come and escort you to the grand archmage immediately." Madame Comfrey said while bowing her head.

However, just a few moments after she sent a message to the spire, Aria seemingly just appeared out of nowhere, and said, "Ah Irene so you are here. Come along I have a lot to show you."

A second later, she grabbed ahold of Marcus and the two of them warped away, stunning Madame Comfrey and the guards on duty.

Reappearing, Marcus felt pretty shaken up, and was certain that if he was still flesh and blood, he would be throwing up right now.

"What was that." Marcus asked, confused on how Aria had just warped them here.

He had been teleported before in the ocean bluff temple, and this felt nothing like that.

"Oh, that was just a simple tier six spell I created called sound travel. It allows me to slip into sound waves and travel along with them. Though it would not work as well if I left the range of this." 

Aira then flicked a floating crystal that was over her desk, and Marcus heard it emit a loud humming sound.

Looking around the room, Marcus saw that Aira's office was full of wonderous looking objects, as well as rows and rows of books lining her wall.

"Here you go. These books contain all of the Guldur Spire's known spells for the types of magic you possess." Aria said gesturing to a small pile of eight books that sat on a table.

'Picking up the first one, Marcus found that it was full of tier one through three fire magic spells, and nothing else.

However, as he started reading through it, he found that most of the spells were just variations on the system's spells.

Still, some of them were pretty cool, like flame jet which allowed flight, and a spell called heat vision that allowed the caster to see fluctuations in temperature.

"Now go ahead and take your time learning them. I have other things to attend to so if I have not come back by the time you are finished, just flick this crystal like I showed you earlier, and I will get the message."

Aria then seemed to warp away again leaving Marcus alone.

'Well time to get started.'

Going through the books, Marcus learned ever spell he thought might be useful, which was less than he thought.

Some of the spells were just carbon copies of spells from different magics, like lightning shot, and fire lance. And Marcus did not want to waste his mental capacity on pretty much worthless spells.

Still, when he got to the higher tier spells he found some more stand outs, like the fire phalanx spell that Kase had used.

Unfortunately, while Marcus managed to pick up some good fire magic spells from the tier four and five list, there were actually very few spells at that tier.

'If even fire magic only has a dozen tier four, and four tier five spells, how is it going to be for the other types.'

Moving onto lightning magic, Marcus quickly scrolled through the tier one through three spells, picking out the few that seemed useful, or could have niche uses, and quickly made his way to the higher tiers.

'As I thought even less.'

Learning the tier five and four lightning magic spells, Marcus moved onto darkness and light which were even more sparse.

However, it was actually iron magic that was the smallest, with every spell being put into one small book that only actually had two dozen spells, from tier one to five.

'Well at least there is one tier five spell, and it is pretty powerful.'

After spending a few hours to learn all of the spells he wanted, Marcus got up and flicked the floating magic crystal.

Then a few minutes later Aria, repapered in the room, and said, "Done already?"

"Yeah, I learned all of the ones that I wanted to. Though there were less high tier spells than I thought there would be. And I did not see even a single tier six spell."

Shrugging her shoulders Aria said, "Yes well tier six spells are closely guarded. I know that some of our mages have them, but it is not like they are going to share their trump cards. In that regard there are plenty of tier five and four spells that people, and families keep to themselves as well."

Sighing Marcus understood what Aria was getting at. If he came up with a really powerful spell, he would not want others to be able to use it against him.

'I suppose that at some point I will need to learn to make my own spells.'

As Marcus thought this, almost as if she could read his mind Aria said, "Would you like me to teach you how to craft your own spells."

Nodding his head, Marcus most certainly did want to learn this skill, but unfortunately, Aria told him it would take quite some time to even teach the basics.

"When you get back and have the time. Come see me at the spire, and I will teach you the intricacies of creating a new spell. Oh, and I have something else for you."

Aria then moved over to Marcus and taking out of her item box handed him a sending stone.

This was the one that the kingdom had been working on for him so that they could get into contact with him, and vis versa.

However, the most important part for Marcus was that he could use it to contact Mrazivý.

"Thank you for all you have done for me Aria. Now I suppose that it is time that I get out of your hair and go back home."
