Chapter 464: The meaning of life (Ⅰ)

The last 2-ring spell Joon transcribed was "Crushing Sonic."
Among the various offensive spells, the three elemental attributes of fire, electricity, and freezing are the most common. The acid attack is relatively rare, and the most rare is the "sonic" spell.
"Smashing Sonic" is a rare and practical sonic spell that causes a deafening roar at the moment of cast, causing 5 levels of shock damage to creatures near the explosion point.
Fragile inorganic materials such as rocks, glass, and ceramics are bombarded with "crushed sound waves" and will suffer double damage.
From early morning to early evening, Jo An worked at the desk for a whole day, during which he only took time to rest for an hour, chewed a few cookies for lunch, and finally transcribed all the new spells from the two books into his spell book.
The night was dark, and Joan couldn't go downstairs to disturb Thomas and Edward to rest. He decided to return the spell book tomorrow morning, and lent them his copy of the spell book.
The body is very tired, but Joan's spirit is very excited, and he is not sleepy.
Take out the "tears of God" and make a cup of potion. After taking it to dispel fatigue, he returned to the desk and unfolded his diary under the illumination of the magic lights to record the work that needs to be done before leaving school.
First of all, of course, to learn the new transcribed spells. In addition, Joan also wants to upgrade his "artificial eye".
Joan plans to give priority to research on "seeing through invisibility", "dark vision", "devil's eye", and "mist sight" starting tomorrow, and then enchanting all the two ring spells of the same prophetic school on his own artificial eye .
If his vision is realized, the prosthetic eye will get four special detection functions in addition to the "debilitating ray" and "burning ray", which can see through invisible enemies, insight into the dark areas formed by nature or magic, clouds and fog. Smoke will not be able to hinder his vision, and will eventually turn the artificial eye into a multi-functional reconnaissance magic guide.
Learning spells and enchanting techniques is not a problem, the key is to complete the above enchanting process requires at least 8 ounces of magic crystals, which is a huge expense.
Fortunately, when Joan expelled the gangsters of the werewolves in Dafeng Town a month ago, he once personally killed the head of the "red nose" Buck, and also found a box of magic crystals from Buck, which was just enough to upgrade the cost of the "Eye". .
With enough magic crystals in his hand, Joan had a bottom in his heart, and then he just had to work hard and follow his steps to realize his vision.
...
In the following week, Joan's life returned to the three-point, monotonous mode of "dormitory-canteen-laboratory".
Thomas and Edward have not yet decided which professor to switch to and get along with Joan as always. It seems that he has forgotten his intention to leave Leiden College. Perhaps they also hope that Joan can change his mind and forget the momentary impulse to do Decision.
However, Jo Ann is not an impulsive person, and the decision made will not be easily regretted.
Just two days ago, he had written his thoughts in a letter and handed it to the principal Mr. Alexander Jefferson’s mailbox.
Just this morning, Joan received a reply from Mr. Jefferson and invited him to talk to the principal's office.
Since Joan had been studying at Leiden College for half a year, he only listened to the speech of Mr. Principal at the opening ceremony. After that, there was no intersection. After learning that the Principal invited himself for an interview, he felt somewhat flattered.
Joan knocked on the door of the principal's office with a disturbed mood, and a gentle voice came from the room.
"Please come in."
Joan bravely pushed the door open, walked in lightly, stood at the desk opposite the door, and bowed deeply to Alexander Jefferson, the current principal of Leiden College who was working at the desk.
"Mr. Principal, bother."
Mr. Jefferson took off his glasses to examine the slightly restrained young mage in front of him, smiled and nodded at him, motioned him to sit on the sofa, and got up and poured himself a cup of coffee.
Joan took the coffee cup handed over by the principal and thanked him. He almost spilled the coffee and his face was embarrassed.
"Mr. Vader, don't be too restrained. I invited you today just to talk casually."
Mr. Jefferson seated on the sofa beside Joan, lit the heather root pipe and took two deep breaths. Later, the tall body leaned forward slightly, and said to Joan with a kind but sincere attitude: "I have read your letter. Well, I feel deeply about the problems you pointed out in the letter."
"Mr. Principal, you are too polite, in fact that is just some of my naive opinions, you don't have to worry about it."
"I don't think it's naive, Mr. Vader, the two problems you pointed out are very sharp." Mr. Jefferson said seriously, "As a nominal public school, theoretically the teaching funds of Leiden College should mainly come from the Parliament The appropriation, from the taxes paid by the colonial people, should it be so, should not charge students too high tuition fees, this is your first opinion, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Principal."
"Mr. Vader, I fully agree with your criticism, but allow me to explain to you the huge gap between theory and reality."
"As a public school, Leiden College is in vain. The annual financial allocations are pitifully small, and even paying teachers is not enough. Not to mention improving the teaching environment and improving the quality of teaching. These expenses must be managed by ourselves. ."
Mr. Jefferson sighed.
"Mr. Principal, why didn't the colonial government allocate more money to Leiden College?" Joan asked puzzlingly.
"Because the government has no money!"
Mr. Jefferson shared his hands and smiled helplessly.
"All public institutions in Yalfheim are funded by government revenues, and fiscal revenues are mainly derived from taxes. Our industry in Yalfheim is not well-developed, and taxes are mainly from agriculture and commercial trade. This is not difficult Understand?"
Joan nodded in understanding.
"We, the colony of Alfheim, have fertile land, a suitable climate, and agriculture has always been very developed. It stands to reason that agricultural taxes are a large amount of government revenue. Unfortunately, this is not the case."
"Farms and plantations in the area around Leiden can still charge some taxes. As for the remote rural areas, the small towns that are mainly self-cultivating have almost all of them have a long tradition of tax resistance. Taxing here is harder than extracting teeth from a tiger’s mouth."
Mr. Jefferson shrugged helplessly.
Joan was so hot that he couldn't speak.
He himself came from a country town, and his hometown of Delin Township has what Mr. Jefferson called the "tax resistance tradition" and "civilian style". Where can I get a national tax on a copper plate?
